It's a Glitch!

00:00 You gotta have a positive attitude. Proudly broadcasting from FEMA Region 6 in the indispensable nation. From the capital of the drone star state, Austin Texas in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where it's become an oven classic California summer in October I'm John C. Dvorak Is that close? Why do you complain about the weather at the beginning of this show It's what we do on The 8s

00:40 And in the sixes too. No, it's traffic and weather on the case. We don't do anything on the sixes! Nothing... I'm not gonna do anything in the sixes. I'm watching a guy now on CNN He was part of the NBC freelance camera crew which the cameraman has Ebola This guy is on Skype and he's coming in from Ebola quarantine That's pretty funny He's skyping from Ebola quarantine. Yeah, he's in a hotel room and so is he's being quarantined from Ebola They're feeding the guy oh man this is great What's getting funnier? Yeah the Ebola thing is fantastic They had the guy and they did the other story was the guy in Newark at the Newark Airport Oh you bit it So the guy pukes on the plane it never happens

01:31 Yeah, no that's never happened ever. And immediately let me see I think I have a clip of that somewhere hold on a second didn't necessarily mean to start off that way but We start off the way we start off. That's true, here it is. Yeah this was the Fox fear porn version of it very funny. Fox has learned for you right now you're taking a look at a live picture of Newark Liberty International Airport Live picture because you know this is really important and that flight is a United flight United! That just arrived from Brussels It is Flight 998 and it is being held right now there on the tarmac because they say there's a sick passenger on board. Brussels of course, the same airport that Thomas Duncan used to board his flight to fly to Dallas, now in critical condition with Ebola. United does say confirming there was an ill passenger onboard

02:22 They don't know yet if he does have Ebola. Who cares? We are now waiting, they say, for the Centers for Disease Control to arrive at the airport and analyze that passenger keeping everybody on board isolated at the moment an indication of what we're facing as these flights arrive here into our country from abroad. Ebola! It is scary and wretched and miserable it is gross Yeah, Ebola. Now I listened to a report...I didn't clip it but I listened to the report where one of the passengers actually not one of the passengers but the guy sitting next to this guy Oh he must be in quarantine now Well here's what he told his story He says and now that i remember pretty clearly He says first of all they let everybody off the plane except for four rows forward and back of this guy on the same side

03:11 They kept all those people, so it's like I guess it was two and two or something along there. And it would be like you know 2 4 6 8 about 12 people that kept on the plane and let everyone else go And then they decided to check this, they brought this guy off. They kind of put him in the back and then they were gonna bring him off. They let these other guys go and they let them go through, checked through a guy and the guy bragged about having the global entry. So I had global entry, almost leaving, almost about to leave the airport- Good way to get your global entry card revoked. He'd almost left the airport and then they commandeered the people around this character, the puker

03:52 and kept them in the airport. They took him off the plane, no matter what everyone else says." This guy had a really good account of it. He says...and then they kept us there for two or three hours and he was irked about that because there was nothing going on and then they let him all go. Well most of these cases I think we've now up to 15 the Ebola reports in United States. All of them, of course are false alarms and it's interesting I've been reading up on this a little bit now Of course, I still maintain that this is nothing more than a reason to have

04:34 combat troops in these countries, in West Africa which have traditionally...you know the West African got blood diamonds. We've got internal continuous internal strife regime changes all the time and of course all the new oil in the past or not all but at least a third of all the new oil has been found in West Africa and we're now in there and it's a perfect way to you know to strangle these countries, and the IMF is now coming in with emergency loans. It's the new version of the economic hitman." Wow! That doesn't sound good John. Now this flight being from Brussels was interesting as I read...I was reading the...let me bring it up here. This is from the EU, from the ECDC, The European Center for Disease and Prevention Control. So we're so incredibly worried

05:28 about a potential case of Pukin coming in from Brussels, from Belgium. But this kind of went unreported and this is from September 13th Accidental release of 45 liters of concentrated live polio virus solution into the environment in Belgium Did you know about this? Wow, this is a great catch. As reported by the ECB... How did something like this happen? Well I'm gonna tell you it's human error as reported by the European Center for Disease and Prevention Control which is an official EU entity by Belgian authorities on September 2nd 2014 following a human error

06:12 45 liters of concentrated live poliovirus solution were released into the environment by the pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline in Rixensart, city Belgium. The liquid was conducted directly to a water treatment plant and released after treatment in the river Lasne affluent of River Dyle which is affluent of the Eskoutsch-Schijt river Belgium's High Council of Public Health conducted a risk assessment that concluded that the risk of infection for the population exposed to contaminated water is extremely low due to high level dilution and high vaccination coverage. Which is really the clue, the vaccination coverage

06:55 ECDC's assessment is that the accidental release in the environment of large amounts of live polio virus represents a risk to public health if susceptible populations, such as areas with low polio vaccine coverage are exposed to contaminated waters or mud. That's one way to get rid of some of the Muslims over there I'm telling you How does that happen? 45 Lio who sorry I what do you want to do with this stuff bill Why did they have it in the first place why does Glaxo smack climb someone was asking when they found Hey, Bill. What is all these bottles says polio liquid? I don't know flush it down the toilet. I don't know dump it

07:36 But no one, you don't hear anyone about that. That's a reason to be a bit worried of course only if... Only if you're not vaccinated against polio and then I was reading about the National Center for Medical Intelligence this is and it's a part of the let me see I believe as a part of DOD but it also has direct reporting lines to the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center. And these guys are supposed to oversee, I presume some of these people are now in West Africa and guess where they are based?

08:22 Well, I would if i were to have a real joke guess it'd be zoog but i'm sure it's not that for detrick Oh for deetrick. Oh my god those guys this is where We believe it came from this whole yeah It was where it was invented Yeah um so interesting things popping up now just to put some more fear uh louis farrakhan the leader of the troublemaker nation of islam Let's see if I have the exact quote. The deadly disease ravaging parts of Africa and now diagnosed on American soil has been designed by white scientists specifically to kill off blacks. There you go. That's a stereotypical response from him. Yeah, there is nothing wrong with that! Let me see... this is... whenever we have a crisis like this why let it go to waste? You can use this for so many things.

09:19 Here's an idea, kid. You could say I didn't do my homework because you know my grandmother has Ebola We all had to go into quarantine... You can use it for a lot of different things like what Charlie Rose and his CBS reporter did there the other morning So we have the Ebola virus in Africa And now this virus What is going on? Well the world is flat is that, you know right now anybody can get on a plane and end up anywhere in this country and spread these viruses. And we have to be aware of it We don't know exactly why there was a dramatic spread this year but something is happening now we have multiple viruses and together with global climate change things are changing in the virus world and we have to pay attention Ebola Of course its climate change

10:06 That's obvious. It's so obvious, how could I think otherwise? Now but i'm always looking for reasons to obviously to put some meat behind my theory that this is really about getting a foothold in West Africa with actual soldiers and also hearing this global health security thing and appearing more and more about They don't have a healthcare system. I'm almost wondering if Obamacare is going to be exported to Africa? There's something afoot about this. Yes, there are far too many stories about the health care system used in those terms in these areas. Oh the healthcare system! The healthcare system it's collapsing and doesn't exist anymore. Here is the healthcare system... This was an interesting piece of video

11:05 This is in Monrovia. And the ABC reporter does not have a garbage outfit on, because these are not hazmat suits I want everyone to realize what you're seeing on television when there's... it's a ski mask The UVNEX? I think that's what is That's on the band These are ski goggles Okay, this is not a hazmat suit that's a rain slicker. And God knows where the hundreds of billions of dollars are that we're supposedly... or hundreds of millions but I think we're closer to billions that were sending over there. Crap! 3 000 people, 3000 combat troops alone is 10 million dollars a day it's just crazy

11:49 So this guy doesn't have any, he just has a shirt on. He's standing maybe 10 yards away from the action of... well you'll hear it in this report This was very strange Here in the street of Monrovia, there's a body here. Maybe Ebola maybe something else but the burial team has come they're busy spraying down the area where the person is they're gonna wrap him in plastic and take away I was talking to someone in the community and they had someone sick here yesterday They didn't think it was Ebola They thought it was something else And they called for help And no one came. They called again and no one came, not until he died a 37 year old man Not until he died did they come and then they called within 1 hour

12:31 The burial team is here. So he's still on the street, you're seeing these guys behind him two guys picking up this corpse which has some rags over it and by the way none of these people who are dead on the street none of them have boils that are exploding blood I don't see any of that seen no evidence of what Ebola should look like on a dead person. You should have boils and leaking sores... Yeah, you should be bleeding all over the place. None of this! This is the place right now where if you die of Ebola they're very quick for you If your living and need help there's really nowhere to go This is interesting. If you die they are quick to help you but if your sick then theres really nowhere to go How does this make any sense?

13:18 Alright, but here comes the big reveal. He's not dead! They were wrapping him up to take him away but he is alive. He is moving his arm. They almost took him away...to the crematorium And they notice he's moving his arm. I don't know where they could take him, there are no hospitals to treat him Now the first responders, the ambulance is here They're trying to get them to stop and take him somewhere where we can get some care So this guy all of a sudden wrapping him up Funny python you're watching Yeah! And then it's out your dead His hand starts moving Come on

14:04 This is getting ridiculous. And you see, it's not like lesions of bloody goo dripping off of it. I'm highly skeptical and when you listen to... Here's Erin Burnett on the CNN with her friend that just shooting the breeze about how none of this is working and none of this is fitting together. None of the precautionary measures seem to be in place, and they're wondering why? And I'm thinking to myself, self it's because it's bullcrap! None of this is really true. You know several things have gone wrong and two of them are

14:42 They've attempted to fix them because CNN brought it to their, the authorities' attention. Which is a little disconcerting they didn't sort of do something on their own. First of all, the sheets and towels that you mentioned that were soiled? You know once we put that on air all of sudden the CDC says okay we're gonna go... This is about the guy in Texas Where the where he was staying and I guess he puked on these blankets And then you know that CNN said hey who wear two blankets who cleaned all that up she quarantined them and the authorities go oh yeah We've got a medical contractor all lined up though as you said so far That hasn't happened, but why did it take CNN? You know going on air and saying that this was a problem The other one Aaron is something that was reported first on your show on Tuesday night. I said hey I just came back from Liberia

15:30 Stop! John, before we continue with this show I need to know. Were you exposed to an Ebola patient? Not that I know of. Okay, then we're good to go. On what exactly i was doing there? I wasn't told what symptoms I should be watching out for even though this has been known to have been an issue for months and months now And then all of a sudden the Customs and Border Patrol people say yesterday hey We've got a pamphlet and we're gonna start handing this out Pamphlet! You know why does it take us going on television saying these things To have action taking you sort of are wondering What's going on? What is up with this

16:13 It is pretty frightening and our understanding at this point, Elizabeth Wright, is that they have not... I mean we're finding out right now CNN had reported those soiled sheets and towels were there six or seven hours ago. They said they're sending someone in now we are hearing from the father of one of the children in that apartment he said 40 minutes ago they are still there Right, I mean i've definitely talked to some experts who say you know look public health time is sometimes a little bit slower than you know that on the ground time. That there's sort of this feeling of when this kind of thing is happening they just need to move much more quickly than they usually do. Aaron newsflash it's all bullcrap girl! That's why... none of this is real

16:57 You know, people look at me like I'm on fire when I say these things. Well you know there's a...I think you're on the side of the evidence Thank you! And of course CNN folks And I use the word folks. Yes, that's they don't you know They're actually part of the problem there They deliver the bad news and then once in a while when they actually look into it Yeah, hey wait a minute They discover this may get all panicky because they actually did their job Once the reporting from The Wall Street Journal back off by the way Oh yeah Of course Reporting from The Wall Street Journal regarding how this? This gentleman could go to the hospital and be sent away

17:38 with two aspirin and call me in the morning. Yeah, you know what their answer is? It's the standard answer these days and of course The Wall Street Journal does not just say oh okay I'll read you the relevant paragraph from their article Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas said it has determined that it failed to detain Mr Duncan when he initially sought care on the night of September 25th because his travel history wasn't relayed to doctors due to a records glitch And you know, once someone says it's a glitch back off bitches. Don't ask questions It's a glitch I find it Reprehensible that journalists do not or the journalist accept this as an excuse

18:29 Oh, you did. I know. I know how I've been doing it my time. It's OK with us for as long as we're aware self-awareness is the key. I'm thinking that there's a couple of things that come to mind one is the is the push toward I mean, that record story is like well let's spend another billion dollars on a...because it like you said when you went to your global entry computer. Bull crap? Bull crap. It wasn't obviously wasn't...it didn't have time to check anything. Nope. Took a picture of your gut and the whole thing. To be honest it got my chin. Got a little bit in my chin. Actually send me that thing and put it in the next newsletter.

19:11 Yeah, got a big piece of your chin and then most of you because you're too tall for the camera. And it doesn't tell you to line up with anything there's no feedback monitor says put your face in this square. Oh I got an update so when Mickey came in to the global entry and she came in Los Angeles initially it said she had a big X on her printout ticket that said No Entry When she did the global entry and then she took that ticket, then then the guy that I had in New York to the coyotes leisurely lean him back. He took it from her and went, uh huh? And he just crossed it out said okay you're good to go. She'll have no problem yes. That's what yeah yeah he looked at the only reason you do that if you were if you were in the position of a guy is because they there's just randomly coming through with that X.

20:05 So the guy sees another one and he goes, oh god I wish they'd fix this thing. And then they exit off and in you go which shows of course the whole system is flawed. Completely! Completely! So yeah it's theaters so they gotta make...it's just a shame that Just a couple more things on Ebola that I've just been collecting stuff all this in the show notes at 658.noagendanotes.com from the official World Health Organization Ebola fact sheet quote and they have a different name for it EVD which is ebola viral disorder or disease, I think it is yeah better be diseased

20:50 Quote, it can be quote. It can be difficult to distinguish EVD from other infectious diseases such as malaria typhoid fever and meningitis Yeah, did you know Clooney had malaria and just no yeah? Yeah He went to South Sudan on one of his little John's with with his buddy from the New York Times Yeah that printer gas to another printer guess handler. Yeah is handler now who Who's been swapped out for the new handler? Yeah, and She's much more attractive although. Yes she gets to watch him 24 7 yeah I don't know if he has sex with her or not well. I have something coming up in the next newsletter That will frighten everybody and I hope people get on this subscription list you can it's always on the front page of The show notes you can also teaser oh nice Did you say Mickey sent you a note about the newsletter?

21:42 Yeah, she thought it was very aesthetically pleasing to her. And she's an artist! Yes. This is good... I find that a high compliment It is a high compliment for the newsletter but what I want to remind her and you and everyone in between is that aesthetics does not sell chickens. Thank You Most of the people, it is an overlooked aspect. People out there in small business and they always want to get an advertiser and they end up getting some guys who wins a lot of awards that doesn't mean advertising's any good. It looks pretty, it wins awards but... Yeah, it doesn't sell anything

22:20 But yeah, it was nice. Okay, a couple more just to wind up Ebola and again I'm only seeing evidence that this is... We are in West Africa with 3,000 troops that's more apparently than we have sent to then advisors we have sent to help combat ISIL so you tell me what's going on with that here are the notes that i'm receiving One of our Dallas producers, my accountant friends in Dallas tell me their friends in Deloitte Risk Management have an Ebola vaccine on their books. Right that was somebody tweeted a picture of the vaccine and they said coincidence? Yeah but for that to be from Deloitte Risk Management is interesting I have... Could it be a bonanza definitely for people traveling to and from Africa

23:16 Dogs eating corpses of Ebola victims in Liberia. I like that. I'd like you to Don't pet the dogs No, no don't a pet dog they spend Ebola eyes and what else did we barely dogs can carry Ebola supposedly? Oh my bats and Bats and dogs and I think that is oh no I had it's a zombie story Well, it's confirmed. What's that? Was this? That was a bunch of YouTube videos my daughter knew about this is everybody seems to be in the millennial group there they're

23:52 their access to news feeds is limited to YouTube. And BuzzFeed? YouTube, BuzzFeed and Facebook right and so they get all the news from these sources and it's strange to hear what the news was in the zombie story which everybody...which apparently was a known hoax but the way it's always presented yeah there've been three Ebola patients that have apparently gotten up after being dead. Yeah, no I did hear about that yeah Three confirmed fact Here is

24:30 Follow-up on the vaccine for Ebola story. I think this might be from CBC I've got a couple of good things from Canadian broadcasting and this for the show We've been asking the Public Health Agency of Canada for months what it got from the two companies that had sold the commercial licensing rights to For the experimental vaccine and the experimental drug ZMapp now, this is interesting From everything I've seen there is a patent on Ebola itself which is owned by the United States government. You've seen this, right? Yes and it's in the patent. It's in the patent trade-off yeah so that is interesting by itself but now I'm hearing in Canada apparently the Canadian government owned the rights to the vaccine ZMapp which I thought was an American vaccine at least has been presented that way...I thought it was a cure not a vaccine

25:24 Did she say vaccine or cure? Let me back up. I think everyone said, you know the problem we're having today because of the media being idiots and going along with the program regarding what's a vaccine thus you can have a quit smoking vaccine right yep And I used the word right in there. Yeah, that's okay. But you can use it... So the vaccine cures and vaccines have somehow now been intermingled somehow? Right, right, right. You know what i think in an earlier era if we had already been along these lines that we would probably be calling penicillin a vaccine

26:00 asking the public health agency of Canada for months what it got from the two companies that had sold the commercial licensing rights to for the experimental vaccine and the experimental drug ZMapp. Okay so there's two, okay experimental drug we wanted to know if Canada still has any voice in the development and dissemination of the treatments? We got back emails saying the contract is confidential but Canada still owns the patent and intellectual property. But that's now being questioned by scientists around the world who are waiting to do clinical trials on the vaccine, as Berlin-based journalist wrote the article The scientists I talked to are unhappy. They feel it could have gone faster, who is in control of this process? Everyone figured this outbreak would be long over before a vaccine could be developed but with the number of Ebola cases doubling every three weeks and scientists around the world saying it's out of control, the need for a vaccine is growing Meanwhile up to 1,000 doses are in cold storage here at the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg I do wonder whether it isn't possible

27:02 cut through all that red tape and try to help get this vaccine on the road really as fast as possible. not because of logistical problems, but over an intellectual property dispute. The company that owns the commercial license for the drug is said to be dragging its feet with thousands of lives at risk Can the Minister of Health explain what Canada's doing? The only answer Ottawa has given so far is that all this in the hands of the World Health Organization Oh! Those clowns Well then we know what time it is

27:41 And then I run across this interesting article from the Journal of Pineal Research. Maybe that's right, pineal? P-I-N-E-A-L? Yeah. Pineal research... looks like an official thing. Abstract! The purpose of this report is to emphasize the potential utility for the use of melatonin in the treatment of individuals who are infected with the Ebola virus The pathological changes associated with an Ebola infection include most notably endothelial... disruption. Yeah, now you know how I feel when I try to pronounce a Dutch name! Yeah that's right. Disseminated intravascular coagulation and multiple organ hemorrhage. Yeah that's not good. Melatonin has been shown to target these alterations

28:35 Numerous similarities between the Ebola virus infection and septic shock have been recognized for more than a decade. Moreover, melatonin has been successfully employed for the treatment of sepsis in many experimental and clinical studies." Based on these factors, since the number of treatments currently available is limited and the usable products are not abundant. The use of melatonin for the treatment of Ebola virus infection is encouraged Additionally melatonin has a high safety profile Is readily available and can be orally self-administered Thus the use of melatonin is compatible with the large scale of this serious outbreak

29:15 Well, how about that? I'm looking at a paper now. We can sell melatonin pills! Well i'm sure that the melatonin pill sellers are already all over this. But they're right... It's real! Ebola is real!! I'm getting masks for my family and some melatonin pills!!! Took me a while, sorry. Your imitation of the pill seller or the seed seller is... It's not apparent. It's not apparent and it really needs a lot of work. No I know it does. While you're looking at that, I'll play my final little ditty here. This is National Cyber Security Awareness Month as we know which comes every month every year in October and I don't know how this happened. I think this must have been Fox

30:05 You know, this never let a good crisis go to waste to come in and promote your bullcrap company. How does this even happen that this guy can get on the show? And it was an eight or nine minute segment which I cut down to be able to promote his bull crap based on Ebola. Well this starts National Cybersecurity Awareness Month and we have a really interesting story, our guest here Gary Malefsky is with the company SnoopWall... SnoopWall! Already my ears are perking up okay let's see what this guy is about. Gary thanks for being here it's an interesting and alarming story that you have about this study

30:46 I think this is bigger than Ebola right now because 500 million people are infected and they don't know it. Oh! What? 500 million people are infected, they don't even know it?! How did- what could it be? What could it be? What could it be? John what could it be? Maybe we're both infected...I'm riveted and I'm listening But its not them, It's their smartphones. Ooooooh So tell me the breakdown. How does this how break it down for me break it down? so let me give you an example show If you went to the hardware store, you'd buy a flashlight all right hold on But let's just let's assimilate this information we go to the hardware store We buy a flashlight are you with me yeah I got one here in front of me alright This is I have a flashlight at the ready okay get no good then you're on

31:37 par with the story. And you turn it on and you use it to find your car keys at night or do some work? Why don't you just turn on the lights? I like using it for some work! Honey, can I have a flashlight? I need to do some work. I got to do some sawing. Well turn on the lights in the garage honey! No no, I want to use a flashlight We've all installed a flashlight app on our phones Have you installed the flashlight app on your phone John? This is the app that you put on and it just goes up. It matches like thousands of these apps Yeah, flashlight exactly And instead of being a normal flashlight when you hit the ON button this flashlight app is kind of like a real Flashlight from the hardware store except it was made by Mr.. Gadget and it opens up as yours made by mr.. Gadget

32:25 No. I never heard of Mr Gadget. Sure it's Mr Gadget and it opens up and says, Brett can I have your name address credit cards bank account information family phone number did it ask you for all this information? No! Photos videos where are located right now and all your friends and contacts and can I send that out over this little satellite dish attached to the flashlight You probably wouldn't buy that flashlight When it comes to the Curry-Dvorak Consulting Group, when we look at metaphors for explaining things in the media. The idea of a flashlight with a little satellite dish is a bit of a stretch I'm not sure you want to use that and you wouldn't hit the on switch

33:03 But that's what happening? That's what happening. Yes! The top ten flashlight apps today, that you can download from the Google Play Store are all malware. They're malicious, they're spying, they're snooping and they're stealing. Duh! What are they stealing? All your credit card information I don't have credit card information on my smartphone. What idiot would do that?! So... Where does that information go what happens? Oh, where do you think it goes John this being cyber security awareness month to the Ukraine now come on Give me three countries Okay Bulgaria. No I come up Think big think big thing big gotta be Russia yeah That's one China. That's two and the third one would be Come on

33:49 I don't know so i've been tracking down where it goes and i found three countries so far China India and Russia These people for real we're out to get these guys oh And they use it for various purposes, I guess? No. Yeah. Various purposes. They use it pretty much, it seems, for criminal purposes but if a nation state wants to collect a lot of information on Americans this is great way to do because everybody installs the flashlight app! That's right Wow what a fantastic discovery this guy has made and glad he's on Fox telling us this Us stupid Americans we all installed a flashlight app

34:32 So what do you tell people? Brett is having so much difficulty with this storm. Wow, so what are we telling people with this information? Don't install flashlight apps period that would be a good start Brett! You in some cases you actually have to not only uninstall it But you have to factory reset your phone because they installed Trojans. Oh, oh! The Trojan's When you uninstall some of these flashlight apps, the Trojans are still installed waiting to run and operate in the background while you're doing important things like mobile banking. Important things like mobile banking? Oh please!

35:08 Yeah, I have to so this guy got on as a part of the Ebola Yes, yes to promote his yet to promote his company. Thanks should've shot him This has gotta be either paid this is either native advertising probably or it's The producer of the show is a moron Yes to all the above Did you finally read Harrison Bergeron? No, I didn't have time. I was too busy. Oh, okay! Good news for you don't have to read it now Why there is a movie coming out based on this short story found out about it now I just found out about the movie No, I'm just saying you got the story in front of the movie and next thing You know after promoting this I was duped I was duped well It gets better

35:57 It's the motion picture will be named 2081 which is the year that this story was set by Kurt Vonnegut. Okay, stars James Cosmo I have no idea who there's Julie Haggerty and guess who is the executive producer and who paid for it. Clooney. No! Koch Brothers! Elizabeth Koch is the executive producer How funny is that? I got duped by the Koch brothers You did, well everybody gets duped by the Koch brothers That's why they're so notorious The story from Vonnegut is still a good story

36:43 And and if it's finally equal comm is the website for the for that you can see the trailer It looks dynamite, and it really looks beautiful Looks like a real movie. Well of course it's our buddies there How come we don't get any coke brother cash? Okay because there be above anything in the fray I don't care about where they're free A quick note that I don't know if you got that. We were talking about, we knighted one of our producers as Sir Upper Decker and we both assumed this was about baseball? I didn't assume...I just said it was about baseball! I didn't assume anything. Oh did you know there's an urban meaning to this upper decker? No but it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't a sex thing. And number of people set me straight on this

37:40 On Thursday's show, United gentlemen as Sir Upper Decker you and John assumed that he was referring to seating in a stadium. However it is widely known under a different meaning apparently not to old fogies like you and me John but we are stupid Well everything can be a sexual thing. I mean, I could have also said it was the upper deck of a 747 and guy likes to fly in business class Why are you saying it's out there? I didn't know why he's calling himself. Excuse me Why are you saying it's a sexual-I didn't say it's a sexual thing Oh, I am! I'm saying is the sex thing now No... I know what it means You do? no.. I have no idea An upper decker is when you remove the lid off the toilet tank and poop inside the tank and replace the lid

38:22 Not long after Said poop becomes putrid and very foul a good prank to pull on someone you're not too fond of that's a great prank They flush the toilet This is not funny. This is lame! Is this what we do in the indispensable nation known as America? Is this what we're all about?" I can say this much, the two farts that do this show don't know about it because we come from more civilized era Who would have thought of such a crazy idea? Well, only in the industry. When I was a kid the concept then was to get a good cube probably like I say a square inch cube

39:06 metallic sodium and flush it down the toilet. We did cherry bombs down the toilet. Cherry bombs don't compare to what a cube of sodium metal can do, you flush it down the toilet gets pretty far down and just blows up the entire sewer system throws crap and everything out of all the toilets yeah that makes a complete mess that's the kind of thing we used to do. Yeah same crapping in the upper deck I can't believe someone came up with that. How pathetic is that? Well, and then it caught on! And it has a name and we got duped again. Again we got duped. KOOK BROTHERS!!! They're pooping in our toilet they're making us promote their movies... But yes ladies gentlemen only in the indispensable nation will you see people being upper deckers It gave me an idea for a product

40:01 Somebody removes the lid of the toilet and an alarm goes off. That would stop them I want to mention something about the Ebola before we get completely off it, which is just a slight prediction. Okay, right? Is this a red booker? Yeah, in fact... Upper deck thing around it right now people People if you knew about this she need to be ashamed of yourself. What about a Burdick er? Do is there anyone who has actually either a done this or had this done to them in our audience? What are you kidding me course all right here we go, it's not funny

40:43 No, it's sick. Particularly in the Netherlands you can't even do it because their flush tanks are at ceiling heights That was probably the reason maybe this is back in time and something that began in the 20s and then they moved a tank way up in the air Hey Hans! Hans we can't let them be pooping on our upper deck We have to put it upstairs That was my German Dutchman I don't know what happened there I dunno their voices were pretty hard to hear Alright, what's your prediction? What's your Ebola prediction I want to hear it a homeless person found with Ebola Oh Yeah good one and now you're gonna be we're looking for his dog Or something and the next thing you know the homeless have to be rounded up. Oh Hola, I mean the whole thing is Scott and this John oh boy hold on a second Wow This just changes something let me go to search

41:37 This was executive order... Man. What was the executive order? I'm trying to define it in the show notes where the president changed the rules on what can happen with people who have a contagious disease Come on, we talked about this. Justin, this Ebola... I don't have the number at the top of my head? I might let me see i'm looking at the revised list of quarantinable communicable diseases This is by the order vested in me and hereby order amendment to executive order 13295 based on the recommendations of the recommendation of the secretary of health and human services

42:33 Okay, further amended. Here we go. Severe acute respiratory syndromes which are diseases that are associated with fever and signs and symptoms of pneumonia and other respiratory illness are capable of being transmitted okay blah blah blah... Uh okay uh M that are either that either are causing or have the potential to cause a pandemic, or upon infection are highly likely to cause mortality... ...or serious morbidity if not properly controlled. That's Ebola? Yes general provisions... and so then we have- oh crap then we have to go into the other executive order I think what this was as we reviewed this that ummm....I guess i have to go 13295 then

43:21 I believe this is the right to just pick you up. And you're right, so this would fit right in with cleaning the homeless up off the street which is one way to do it! Yeah yeah just put them all in quarantine and then kill them Let me see here by order as follows... Here we go So I went to 2003 and this of course was an executive order put into place based on SARS at the time and consultation with the surgeon general purposes of our condition okay um communicable diseases for regulations providing for the apprehension detention or conditional release of individuals to prevent the introduction transmission or spread of suspected communicable diseases and ebola was uh functionally added to it with that wording

44:14 apprehension, detention or conditional release. This is in the Lisbon Treaty which is viewed as the replacement for the European Constitution and the protocols it specifically states if you have a communicable disease you can be detained and apprehended and detained indefinitely detained This right is now worldwide. It's a good idea in San Francisco They like to grab the dead homeless, and then they ship them I think over to Richmond or my camps man Well yeah well right now. They're just practicing busing him out of the town Yeah in the Google Bus That's what that's all about hey bill this bus stinks where they haulin in this thing crazy okay and

45:04 I did a lot of just basic poking around. Well, okay... It's two parts. Maybe we should just for one second thank a couple people. Wait wait wait hold on a second you were gonna say what? I was going to say in the morning. You were gonna say, i'm sorry you'd say it is slow down as you get the spreadsheet? Okay. The spreadsheet shouldn't be in by now isn't it? And I've got it open!

49:40 I love that people make jingles for producers. Yeah, this is fantastic! That's beautiful Well they have a good shot at getting it on especially since you like to play all the different ones they get sent in. I try yeah. I think it encourages our Grand Duke to remember us. Yeah this useful I think it's a good idea so Foley actually got 3 4 5 6 7 one of your favorite numbers Absolutely. He says it's one of my favorite numbers in his note, but he was more concerned and he doesn't really have a note to read but he was concerned because he got randomly selected by the PayPal police. I saw something else happen first because he had...I believe he donated and in his note

50:34 He said this is for I think was for Dame Angela's son This is the producer in Vegas when he was in Vegas, and then he made a donation in her son's name. I think that could be I can't find that note well, but I was on some back you know some backtalk emails and Then PayPal said oh, yeah We have to be known in accordance with anti-terrorism laws we have to check something Can you give us? And then the kids named his His birth date I mean, how insane has this become? It's insane. Yeah, this is you have to now do this otherwise he must have the note must have flagged something You know the little box that you put in the instruction box which where people put the notes? Yeah I believe they they have it there Jose Gonzalez of Las Vegas so He did he said Please credit the enclosed donation towards the knighthood over Jose Gonzales of Las Vegas lost wages

51:37 I think he is related to Dame Angela, not sure. And then I see this email from eBay saying please identify who Jose is but it's not going to Jose! It's going us! So it's like, I think it's a red code. Oh Jose goes up. Jose Gonzalez of Las Vegas means we bombed the Pentagon or who knows? Peanut butter! Code! Caliphate! It's a code that's used by ISIL. Yeah! When they have the FBI, the guy you know the FBI expert. They're trying to bust people left and right so they get some guy and he says okay here's what you wrote dear Bill I'm gonna be at the McDonalds at noon can you meet me there? I'll buy ya a burger yeah we are here. If Steve coded this to mean then they make up something! Here it is We are here hashtag America near our hash tag target soon Yeah that's it thanks for the donation

52:39 So Foley got busted by a keyword that's in there. We don't know what the key word is, could be Las Vegas it could be Gonzales who knows? But he was irked! Yeah! He was very irked and I think... And that's the story. Yeah, that's the story. Oops! Thank you very much Sir David Foley. Let me go get the notes. You gotta note oh okay Well while you're doing the note, I'll play a little jingle Porky pig to mock the president of the United States Moses Hall sent that in don't you like it? That's a good one. I have another one too. Yeah, play it and this is from secret agent Paul Oh

53:38 I like the Porky Pig better. We have the best producers in the world. See, The Porky Pig... No wonder this shows! And that's the story That is good. That's a keeper. I agree. It was funny but it wasn't good Who was that again? That was Moses Hall. Moses, good old Moses. I'm putting him in. Okay, Maury Stone sent in $200 by mail and he sent a note which I think is amusing to read. All righty. Stowe Vermont John and Adam here's a donation to the best podcast in the known universe please never talk about cell phones just

54:34 Get it You can read this you must be over 40 years old signed Maury Now the reason that's this is funny to me because it's written in longhand. Okay, got it And that's the reference and I have to say it's very readable longhand But it's very sloppy messy long hand but as readable I've had other long hand is neater looking but it's hard to read but the message is Don't talk about phones? Pretty much, but it was just because- Iphone shmiphone! I got them all again. iPhone shmyphone

55:15 I have the full one here, too. This is a Phone my phone the way I see it the only good phones a landline and the phone should be made out of Bakelite That's our tech so tech news intro yeah the tech grouch guy I remember him He was pretty funny back in the day all right that was it iPhone Schmeichel never okay That's it. That's it and that's the story yeah, that's all we got we got three guys alright It doesn't look like as much better further down the list a bad day And I looked at the numbers coming in yeah they Hey so much for that great aesthetics newsletter You know that's funny because I didn't use letter open rate was extremely low is like 37% as opposed to the normal 52 Wow okay

56:07 That's disappointing. Now that could be because a lot of the newsletters ended up in spam or the headline was no good I think the headline was acceptable, maybe nobody cares about unemployment The unemployed don't have enough money to read The Note And then the people that are employed don't care No guess not They don't care about their fellow man I guess not Whatever the case yeah it was very short week If it wasn't for the instant night, we'd have nothing. Well and the instant night is getting the value he needs for his long commute and this is really what radio has always been about but I consider this to be under the header of drive time radio that's what I've always thought that audio products were for. Right now we do kind of...I agree 100%. I think that's a ideal for this sort of thing And then we produce this specifically

57:00 for continuous listening. That's why if you look at our waveform, we're flatter than a pancake which was nice to have him again today by the way We're flatter than a pancake because the worst thing you can have is that you either have earbuds in or you're listening... You have a player on the table or you're in the car and you can't hear it and you continuously having to adjust the volume. A lot of podcasts are like this So we are, you know... There's ups and there's pros and cons to the way we produce it. And mainly because we don't have airtight studios like the $200 million NPR Studios We don't have that so those ways we get around- I don't like this sound anyway

57:41 I agree. Screw their sound! I don't like the sound, it's too dead. I like our sound. I have the insulation...I could insulate a little area around me and get one of those little reflectors that singers use that suck all the back sound. And I could have the dead, I know that I can make that dead sound of NPR. But I never liked it. I kind of like ambience. I like a little noise. I like the window open noise. I know you like the window open honey! I like the window open...I know you do. Yeah okay well anyway we're gonna stereotype We will be doing another show on Thursday and we do need real support from our producing audience You're the ones who make it happen

58:23 Consider this the value we're providing to you. Two, three hours per show six per week If you've listened to this and just compare it to anything else that you spend money on your entertainment products or even your health products Which I'll talk about in a moment please go to Dvorak dot org slash N A And always be on the lookout for people who might be good for the choir to propagate the formula Our formula is this We go out...we hit people in the mouth What up? And along those lines, I wanted to start off this portion of the program The B Block as we call it by reminding everybody that we are living under the repealment of the Smith-Munt Act which means the American government is allowed to propagandize its own people and i've done some research on this

59:30 Well, you know I was looking into this and where the law is written. They can't actually spend real money to do this. Where this comes from is the Broadcast Board of Governors and you can find it at bbg bravo bravogolf dot gov And I'm bringing up here the facts about Smith-Mundt modernization. This is what we're talking about, this is what was changed in 2013 under the National Defense Authorization Act I'd just like to share a little bit of it and then I also got their strategic plan. Ooh, ooh is right! The strategic plan was for the years 2012 through 2014 so 2016 sorry so a lot of it has already been put in place

1:00:23 I'll just read some of this. The Broadcast Board of Governors, BBG and the media organizations that it supports can now make their content available in broadcast quality upon request within the United States This is very important This is due to a law that went into effect on July 2nd, 2013 amending the US Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 known as the Smith-Mundt Act. Amending Smith Mundt for this purpose was part of the strategic plan adopted in 2011 by the governing board overseeing the BBG And then they go into a number of FAQs and... The top one is meant to address our concern

1:01:05 Q. Can the BBG now focus its broadcasting on the United States? A. No, there has been no change to the Broadcast Board of Governors Enabling Statute, the U.S. International Broadcasting Act of 1994 which authorizes the agency to create programs for foreign audiences The BBG is not authorized to begin broadcasting or to create programming for audiences in the United States. We do not seek to change that. BBG continues to focus on overseas audiences." Well, yeah that may be true but what changed is the information and programming they create which says right at the top broadcast quality upon request within the United States

1:01:48 They make packages and you can subscribe to their packages as a news organization And they will send you their news packages which you can broadcast in the United States. And I believe these packages are free? Completely free And people have to realize how this works with the local stations especially. They don't produce the whole show on a day-to-day basis, it's too much work and especially they have news at 5, news at 6, news at 11 so they usually have three blocks during the day of the programming day where they suck up anywhere between two hours, it depends if it's like typically the news at five will be an hour and news at six will maybe be an hour or a half-hour. Then you have the network national news which uses some of the packages from the local stations so occasionally...and a package is a produced segment. It's a segment that sometimes it's interactive where you can drop in the local guy saying, And what about that? You know, they're like the phony interviews that you used to do when you were on radio."

1:02:49 So you can have those kinds of packages and sometimes the local affiliate or whoever will alter the package because they don't like just running packages full of cloth. That's pretty rare. Most of the time they just take the package, they do an intro which is usually written for them and it looks like people are eating more bugs today Jim! Really? Where is that? Well that's happening in South Carolina. In South Carolina people are eating more bugs according to...that's how it works And then they go to the package and run the package and I think you can run to the bathroom or whatever they want the packages going maybe from three to eight minutes And so these packages, now there's a bunch of expensive operations that we've actually discussed on this show. The budget is $700 million dollars a year for this little BBG. That's nice and let me give you couple more of these FAQs. Q. So what does the new law allow that wasn't allowed before? Well this is very valid question

1:03:46 The new legislation eases SmithMund restrictions and allows the agency and its broadcasters to respond positively to requests from within the United States for their content. Much, but not all of this programming is now available online. Additionally the BBG can consider domestic requests for ongoing subscriptions if doing so falls within the agency's mission and other statutory authorities So you can now as a local station subscribe to the packages and request it specifically

1:04:24 Yeah. And there's even a fact sheet, we could sign up for it too... We should! Okay so I was just looking and I marked this up people can check this for themselves in the show notes. I've marked up this strategic plan for the Broadcast Board of Governors I'll just read a couple of things here. The preface, impact through innovation and integration is the third strategic plan of the Broadcasting Board of Governors since its inception as an independent agency in 1998 at the first under the direction of the board that took office in July 2010. It's an independent agency which I find interesting The first strategic plan was titled Marrying the Mission to the Market and called on U.S international broadcasting to adjust to major market forces with the end of the Cold War, specifically to distribute programming across ever larger networks of affiliate stations as such outlets were exploding in number and influence so that was the marrying the mission to the market was their first plan it was timely in aiding the BBG to meet post 9-11 challenges

1:05:25 Producing mission-driven products. This is great that could attract significant audiences Okay, and then they added Middle East and the radio Sawa in Arabic and Alhura TV I never heard of these but I'm sure they're out there The second plan built on first taking stock of the world affected by extremism, but by persistent authoritarianism as well. In the dynamic of market forces and mission imperatives it recalibrated BBG's approach to renew emphasis on the latter." Whatever... From 2001-2009, BBG's budget grew from $425 million to more than $750 million and worldwide audiences surged from 100 to 175 million.

1:06:12 Distinct legal frameworks and personnel and administrative procedures across both federal and non-federal entities, language service duplication and complex chains of command have inhibited operational effectiveness. This was their pitch remember this is written in 2011 to have the Smithmund overturned Now I'm going forward ahead a little bit then here's the updated mission statement always good when you read a mission statement In light of the new operating environment, which includes the internet. This is their big thing They're saying we have to overturn the Smith-Munn Act otherwise We can't propagandize on the Internet since it's available in America that and now of course we need to overturn that My goodness! We trust you guys? We know your only targeting external countries Yeah no...we mean well That's obvious

1:07:03 In light of the new operating environment, the BBG has revised its mission statement to inform engage and connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy. Shit we could have that for our show The mission upholds the agency's role as a journalistic organization and advances the utility of accurate, credible news and information to support democratic transformation across the Middle East, North Africa, and elsewhere. To counter extremist propaganda in Afghanistan, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, Somalia, and Yemen

1:07:39 and throw a light on human rights abuses in Belarus, Burma China Cuba North Korea Russia and beyond. Boy are we the indispensable nation or what? We are so great! Okay then I'm moving forward strategic and performance goals to become the world's leading international news agency by 2016 Huh to reach 216 million in global weekly audience by 2016. To meet these targets, BBG will pursue an implementation plan that combines both restructuring and growth steps." Then they've got a whole bunch of stuff which you can read through yourself... I'll just go down to the next thing I put in red here Oh yes! They will be a leader in internet censorship circumvention and anti-jamming

1:08:31 BBG's... How ironic. I know BBC also seeks to raise a strong voice on the international stage in order to expose the issues of satellite jamming, censorship and internet blocking. BBG's efforts are complemented through close coordination with the State Department Yeah Yes that would be the Internet experts And then here was the main goal of this document at the time, we will seek the repeal of a decades long ban on domestic dissemination contained in 1948 US Information and Educational Exchange Act Smith-Mundt adopted in the age of cross border communication via radio.

1:09:09 This Act did not envision either the internet or satellite broadcasting, which do not honor national boundaries. With all the BBG's 59 languages available via the web... ...the agency cannot comply with this outdated statute." In addition, to the extent that BBG sponsored programming should be available to significant expatriate communities in the United States we are unable to do so without acting counter to the limitation. You see what they're saying there? We need to propagandize... Yeah but they're saying that if the State Department is taking this independent agency over And! We need to propagandize people who have immigrated to the United States which is pretty much everybody I mean how many- America's an immigration country

1:09:51 So they're saying we need to be able to focus our propaganda on Iranians who have been in California. There are Iraqis in North Carolina, Pakistanis and Indians in Silicon Valley this is so that's what we need to do it says right there black and white To remedy this disconnect, the BBG has proposed and the administration approved draft legislation to repeal the Smithmont domestic dissemination ban as it applies to the BBG. Okay now here's something that there's a lot of you just read through that it's very...it's a good read and I've highlighted pertinent bits but what is creepy is

1:10:31 If you go to the website, you do need to go bbg.gov to see who this board of governors is... Hold on a second. And the new CEO is of great importance. They... B-B-G dot G-O-V... There's a .gov? I thought it was an independent agency. It's not a government. That means he got money from the government. September 23rd, 2014 The Broadcast Board of Governors announced today it intends to hire... Gee nice job of JavaScript here folks It intends to hire respected journalist and media executive Andrew Lack as chief executive officer of the federal agency Gee where does Andrew Lack come from? He doesn't have a lack of credentials

1:11:19 Andrew Lack has huge credentials. He was, oh let me see we'll just go down here... He's the Bloomberg guy! Yeah Bloomberg but before that NBC Universal CEO of Sony Music Entertainment he was the chief operating officer of NBC this is one of the top douchebags for media of entertainment and media he knows how to do this They bring... Yes, yes. He is the guy you would want And the chairman of the board So that's just the CEO The chairman of the board is Jeffrey Schell Who um President Comcast Programming Group These guys don't work cheap No! No! and they don't work to create bullshit I mean they do of course But they know how to do it These are professional entertainment propagandizers You might as well just call them

1:12:20 And Jeffrey Goebbels. He was also at CBS News where he created and served as the executive producer for groundbreaking news magazine West 57th, I remember that. He joined in 76, this is a long time ago. Next year he became a prominent producer of 60 Minutes and subsequently senior executive producer of CBS Reports. Mr. Lacks broadcasts at CBS earned numerous honors including 16 Emmys! Yeah now these guys know how to do broadcast propaganda In fact, we should call it the Broadcast Board of Goebbels. BBG. From 1993 to 2000... I'm reading from his own bullcrap summary that he put on LinkedIn about himself. That's cool. About himself. Yeah nice! From 93 to 2001 Mr. Lack was president of NBC News where he transformed it into America's most watched news organization. He hired Matt Lauer there you go

1:13:18 Okay, well this guy's no slouch. No these guys are the real deal and they are and that you're right They do not work for free I didn't look into financials of the organization I was just so blown away by everything on this website And if you can you look at what the stories they're pushing let's just do that for a second then while we're at it Just go to the home page of BBD Gov gee let's see what are we pushing? Putin foe speaks to Voice of America, F Russia. Voice of America's Heather Maxwell travels to Rwanda and Cameroon. Pakistan audience realities in an unstable media landscape. Voice of America goes with the heart of Ebola epidemic in Sierra Leone." Yeah. Oh yeah. Keep your eye on this. I've done Voice of America a couple times over the years when in Washington DC... And it's great you- The facilities are fantastic even back then this is like 20 years ago

1:14:12 They, you know they have a big building and they got a bunch of whole bunch of studios and a whole bunch of people who work in this different languages. They broadcast all these languages And they had I did get from there because they were modernizing mm-hmm I got one I talked to one of them into sending me a surplus IBM clock Oh nice! One of those that's connected to a central atomic system? Yes Yeah, I know those are beautiful Click click. Yeah, then it's right so when it hits the top of the markets that is the time and where Is it in your pile now? It's in the pile over here behind a desk that has to printer on it Okay now moving forward I was list I told you I was checking a lot of Canadian broadcasting somebody you fall into these rabbit holes and CBC had an hour-long program

1:15:02 which was about a study done by multiple professors from Duke University. And it is about the minute, it's about manipulation of will and their focus of the study and the focus of the report was about elections? Are we really choosing elected officials out of our free will or is something else at play. So the voting part didn't interest me that much, but of course the idea that we think were choosing what we want to choose when really were being manipulated and it turns out quite easily was a fascinating story. It's well worth listening to the whole hour I pulled three short clips from it and The reason this guy started off... This was on the CBC? What was entitled?

1:15:56 Hold on a second. Ideas from the Trenches is the name of the program, Too Dumb for Democracy. Okay And at certain point what they discover in this study... Well first off so the reason he decided to study this and make this his dissertation it became a big deal and a lot of these professors jumped in on this from neurology and you know Duke University's a real institution is because he was running for class president his freshman year and he decided that this would be his campaign. He would hand out candy

1:16:33 to everybody and his slogan was, I don't have a girlfriend so i can spend more time working for you. And he then he had no nothing else that's all he had and now work then he won yeah landslide nobody asked him what he was going to do they did the candy in the slogan was all he needed anyone and he thought to himself well he was very sad of course because... I don't think it was that sad! He said in this story he says he was sad because he'd be he said oh crap democracy doesn't work we're too dumb for it So here is just a couple of clips which explains, I think in the no agenda way of thinking it's so important for us to be aware of what is happening with propaganda with things like the broadcast board of Goebbels because It affects us in ways we don't even expect and it's very simple. So the autonomous part is

1:17:26 Are you aware of all the factors that gave rise to your judgment? Or is there some deception, and if there's some deception involved that you're not aware of then it's not autonomous. And the rational bit is a question of Is this considered position something that's logical? Is it consistent? Is it a considered position about the world? It turns out that in a lot of cases its not And that's important because when people said, hey democracy let's try that it would be a really good idea. There was this premise Yeah I mean part of the bargain that was made over time was that we're going to transfer some of this authority to the people but one of the assumptions underlying that bargain Was that the people have some sort of capacity? To self-govern and democracy was supposed to be the vehicle for taking the popular will and turning them into some sort of outcome

1:18:18 But now we have to ask ourselves, what is that will? Where is it coming from? How's it formed and does it really reflect people's true preferences and priorities. And it seems to be the case that sometimes it might not. Okay so that's Professor David Moskrop just kind of setting up this manipulation of free will Now we have another professor the study Tanya but here's who she is. Tanya Chartrand is a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University okay so that's a real professor you don't become that just by being in a douche knuckle or bringing apples for the teacher

1:18:54 And she spoke specifically about this test they did, and it's frightening when you hear how easily manipulable we are. One of the studies that really got people really interested in this was a study done by my PhD advisor John Barge and Mark Chen and Laura Burrows. It was published in 1996. They did this study where they had people complete these scrambled sentences, and so they had to unscramble some words to form a sentence. And embedded in that task were either words related to the elderly—you know, words like gray, bingo, wrinkles, Florida—

1:19:37 Or, or in the other group of people just got neutral scramble sentences with no words like that embedded. And then they just timed people to see how long it took them to walk from the lab room to the elevator And they found that people who filled out these scrambled sentences, they had words like gray wrinkled bingo Florida. They walked more slowly to the elevator because they thought they were old. Yeah behaving in line with a stereotype of the elderly there were no words like slow it was just words related to this elderly stereotype and so that you know people couldn't believe those results when they were first published. They thought this is crazy yeah

1:20:20 I didn't know this. This to me is... Wow, that's all it takes? That just proves how great the NOA agenda shows because we give people a brighter look on life And that is exactly what my final clip is about How difficult would it be for us to open that up a bit and recognize the auto-generated

1:20:56 Automatic background processes in our brains and become more conscious of our decisions. You know in theory One could try to recognize one's own non-conscious processing and then try to correct for that But there's a lot of research showing that it's hard to correct appropriately for automatic influences because now listen carefully this is why you have so much trouble, and why it is virtually impossible to convert someone into To if you have a true obot as an example, you can't just go up to them and say hey those beheadings aren't real It doesn't work that way. We may not know the direction of influence on us Or even if we do know the direction? We may not know the magnitude of the influence so we end up correcting for it But we could either over correct or under correct You know that said change can only come with awareness you have to become aware yes

1:21:53 what these influences are on you first. And I think that there is some evidence now that with practice at thinking about these things, people do show signs of improvement—that they're better able to kind of identify how they might be influenced outside Well, that's for sure. Yeah! I have some thoughts on this... Okay First of all the concept that you know the democracy is crap because people are so easily influenced kind of

1:22:36 ignore it maybe its crap for other reasons but it's also works better than other systems even with this in play because the political philosophers on either side of an issue spend all their time working them working the room working the public sure sure and so they think balances out and somehow the public at some point you know gravitates to one argument or the other and as he adds like a big experiment is maybe like rats in a cage but but it's it does have you know Generally speaking, the public chooses correctly. I mean for example they did not pick John Kerry for president because of Kerry himself sometimes the messaging is subtle from the candidate that comes up and says, I don't like this guy's a creep. Okay but just playing kind-of devil's advocate... The public or part of the public chose John Kerry to be the candidate

1:23:25 yes that was the case that's how those system works and i have a right you can have these idiots are always going to be in some images lockstep and they're gonna always been there on both sides so it's like it's supposed to even itself out of innocent enough and uh... unbalanced situation i suppose he could go too far any end up with about india but nazi germany army guys i don't see that that couldn't happen here to be honest about it where is an anti-democratic kind of thinking in academia that would result in this sort of thing. I wanted to mention that the embedded-in text thing, although we had clips about it...this is what's going on with common core testing.

1:24:05 Yeah, right. Yep. Oh you said right no, but I said right I was a question No, no, I said sorry I take it back. I think I'm thinking it wasn't just right as a throwaway It was right to ask your question take it back so you buzzed me? I'm sorry. Take it back Okay, okay. I'm just making sure you make that clear yeah So, common core testing has this element in it where there's a lot of brainwashing that goes on. I think this would be the case with a lot of testing in certain educational situations which is what people complain about. They don't only complain about the textbooks but they complain about the questions that you ask very...

1:24:41 very common in a propagandistic environment. And the last thing I thought was kind of interesting is the idea that if you hear enough bad things, this is what old ladies think... No, no, no! You're not gonna listen to that. It's not...I need a positive attitude." The nutballs out there may be actually onto something based on this research. The guys who take and put signage all over their room think positive. Life is good. You know these people? It probably works. There's a book called Change Your Words, Change Your World which I have been reading... very interesting book where even just saying just the way you speak speaking more positively can and often does affect not just your overall bodily health but also the world around you things start to happen

1:25:38 This is along the lines of the book, The Secret in a way. There is a huge downside to this. Ah okay but thank God there's a buzzkill! The downside is these hopeless hippies and reconstructed hippie old ladies at the Monterey Food Vegetable Market who've got that stupid smile on their face all the time and they're the ones who bring And they have a forced positive attitude that is disgusting and not it shouldn't exist where you're just smiling to get a dumb smile on your face all the time. Creepy, dumb smile by the way, creepy, dumb smile and you're carrying a bunch of old Trader Joe's bags that are dirty. And again, you get digging in your holding up the line, you're holding up production, you're holding up production lady. Lady, you're holding them to line!

1:26:31 That is the downside to this which is creating a bunch of bots. Oh bots many of them hope and change The whole that whole group you well zombie like people but hoping changes Is not it's not a positive thing Hope and change I just you're gonna have if you want hope yeah You can have hope the change doesn't mean changed for the better didn't say good chains positive change change for the upside It's implied Hmm, okay Whatever the case, so the downside to me is a creation of a bunch...and they're just as dumb as anybody. I mean they have a positive attitude maybe they walk a little faster, I don't see it but they seem to be slow moving if you ask me. Well one thing for sure and that well let me just then there's one other thing my mother

1:27:19 Who I always consider one of the most negative people, I've ever known. Really? Read nothing but yeah... Yeah she would say stuff like uh, ah i've got to get to the lungs drugs and get some toilet paper because the Chinese are buying it up! So I'm going what?! This was your mom you grew up with this. Oh, yeah is great Can you give us one more anecdote? This could be a feature segment on the show Give us another there's another anecdote from John's dead mom I'd have to think about it Whatever the case was, she read nothing but Norman Vincent Peale positive attitudes. You know all these books constantly and she'd always talk about it She's say no you've got to have a positive attitude! I think well jeez of all the people that tell me this Did she actually say the Chinese are buying up all the toilets? Yes one of the classics The whole family knows about it they all crack up

1:28:19 I think this theory that if the Chinese were doing something, something was up and you know what? She's right. There are people all over Gitmo Nation who now have coffee on the inside of their windscreen because of what you just said. That was a spit take if I ever heard one. I like to witness that by the way. I try to pull it off. If you're trying to be funny at the dinner table always do when somebody is taking Man, oh man. Oh man I love that Get out Choners! There's your mom talking from the grave Pretty much Oh my goodness That's funny

1:29:08 Yeah, that was the depression people. You know she was a depression kid yeah Oh, yeah of course doing so all these people from this era And they were fortunate there with the greatest generation and sometimes I'd say the worst generation They had a lot of interesting Concepts that you I mean most of them were just crazy But at the others you know it's like Ron Paul is one of these people yeah Some of his stuff is interesting to contemplate I've been noticing, just speaking of... Speaking of propaganda. The every... Give me a whistle! Give that rolling thing, that spinning thing. That's my favorite. That is my favorite But you gotta do it from really low and then ratchet it up Perfect In the White House emails whenever they talk about how great the president is

1:30:10 They capitalize great recession, capital G, capital R. Like it's a thing... Yeah I've noticed that he has been saying that a lot. He is trying to coinage…coin it! Well but they..I think its stylistic error at this point but I guess they are forcing When they write an email, Great Recession is capital G capital R like it's this thing. Like it's great! Well for sure I think that's the mistake they're making and I'm very worried right now John. I am worried sick about our president um then I'll tell you why yes I'd like to know why because I'm not really with that worried well

1:30:54 Okay. Except for the Secret Service gaps? Well, this is where I'm putting pieces together and we had another like a fake congressman got him backstage at some fundraiser event yet another secret service move. Hey, I'm Congressman Curry. Oh come on in here's the president have your picture taken with him Another Secret Service snafu. But what is the benefit? If this president serves his term, he will go down as a failure A failure because he did nothing but make it worse, put us back into more wars. And of course no matter how many times you say the economy is great, it's not everybody knows this. I think that chart that I sent out in the newsletter nobody opened. Nobody saw it shows the shows that the trend is maintaining itself toward a depression leveled unemployment rate

1:31:52 So, now... I mean just if you have 10 people and they're so bad out there. You can't get a job they all want to work and five of them say screw it i'm just going to live at home with my relatives yeah they're taking off and now you have the other five working 100 employment that's not right that's not true That's the way the numbers are worked up today. If the president serves out his term, his presidency will be deemed in general and will be abused by other political parties as a failure. How did that work for you? Are you happier than you were eight years ago? You can just hear the campaign slogans. What about Gitmo? But if the president were to not... I'm using careful terms here. If the president were not to complete his term

1:32:40 then he can be martyred. He could quit, you know? Yes, he could quit for personal reasons which is one of the things... We predicted this some time ago that he was going to quit to be with the family And this is an option but put together with- But he would be forced to quit if it's so dangerous that they got these guys every time he turns around there's some schmuck standing there with a gun This would be one of the ways that this is being orchestrated I'm afraid and i've seen, haven't recorded it but im seeing everywhere on television. Do you think this is because he's a black man in the white house? Im seeing this is what I told you. They are cranking up the race issue even on

1:33:28 Bill Maher had steel Richard I Have I saw this whole thing and Richard Steele who's a Republican? Mm-hmm is all in with this thesis. It's I find it very discouraging very unamerican to even use this type of scenario or or Just to you know, it's called playing a race card, but obviously its purposeful It's been reintroduced in a big way. The Democrats are all in on this, they've always been in on it as far as their concern because that is great leverage for them to prove that everyone's...especially Republicans are all bunch of A-holes and so that has always been there and its' always been a subtext and they use it as an excuse for everything the Republicans though have not been using it They have been trying to say no,no,no we want to have honest discourse Well of course Richard Steele comes out and says this He's a dick

1:34:26 For the Republicans, it would behoove them to have the president serve his full term so they can say how did that work out for you. That... Right? The only people that would suffer are the Democrats if he serves out the term and keeps making gaps and going golfing all the time. So here are these scenarios in the options. One with the obvious one is the president contracts Ebola. That would solve everything right there. Yeah, and that's not gonna happen. That's probably not going to happen then we have a security situation I'm afraid for my family there's a number of things you can say which everyone the way it's going the way i'm seeing The way this is being presented which is completely abhorrent To presume that the secret service is not protecting the president because he's black this is

1:35:11 It makes no sense. Lots of African American, black brown yellow purple pink people who are in administration who have security details where this is not happening to. The seven bullets that were shot into the White House it was only revealed in detail with recent hearings made it clear that one of the daughters was in the White House at the time, and one of the bullets could have killed her. So it could be a family member? It could be one of those...you know I'm afraid for my family. Could be that or it could actually be you know a family member could be taken out. The number things that could happen but I hate just discussing this because it sounds so morbid but I feel it's a reality with these clearly orchestrated security flaws this makes no sense

1:36:05 Makes no sense what is happening on the other hand of course. It's all theater So maybe it is Joe by the way, I think he's he's waiting for it He's in on it. He's out there do be and Joe listen He was at Harvard and some kid asked him a question about though And you said I'm the vice president of the student council listen to this I'm a senior at the college I'm the vice president of the student body here You know the bitch being vice president that's no good. Yeah, Joe That's right an a-hole No, this is the a-hole he was he did his speech in and it was talking about the tornado in Joplin Missouri Missouri which was she was at three years ago

1:36:56 I think three maybe four years ago the tornado. Yeah, I don't know how this was a joeism or if it was in the prompter or how this happened but tens of thousands of cars tossed around like leaves and a fall windstorm 161 thousand brothers sisters mothers fathers sons daughters grandparents lost 161,000 really what? It was a hundred and sixty one But he just added thousands. You gotta play that again the thousands of cars tossed around like leaves in a fall windstorm That's poetry Joe hundred and sixty-one

1:37:39 Thousand brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, sons daughters, grandparents lost. Well maybe he was referring to being lost because they you know they got no way it was 161 people who died just for some reason he didn't think that was good enough well after me pretty much mentioning everybody on the list Brothers, daughters, sisters, cousins, nieces, grandfathers, fathers, grandmothers, mothers. You know he's gonna be over the 161 pretty soon I love it. It was really good

1:38:21 That's a good one. That's borderline not really not really it was no because it was so I don't know where you got that when that's a gem, but I had to find new health insurance Because oh that's right this is a problem for you Yeah And it's a real problem because the exchanges aren't weren't accepting anything This timing with all this and then of course, this is the thing that bothers me there open enrollment Okay, you got to October 1st or October 15th for an open enrollment. Yeah Well I didn't it's the point of this so I want everybody why is there a school? A moment when you can do this Why can't you do at any time you feel like because it's a scam

1:38:58 It's a toll scam. I want to buy auto insurance, and not have to wait like oh you can't have auto insurance! You have to drive around without insurance because your open enrollment for auto insurance is between November 1st and November 10th This is exactly what happened And here's the message I got from Blue Shield who we chose as the correct provider for us Why doesn't Congress ask about this? It makes no sense to me. And Blue Shield says, well as of and this was October I'm sorry September 1st because you know bite-sized TV and all my insurance went away everything i had it all went away so okay fine Oh you do have a Cobra

1:39:39 No, but you also... Yeah. What a rip off that is! You have this little moment I think if you still if you had insurance and don't have insurance yet you have to have a COBRA or something but I think you can get in somewhere. Well, I'm going to tell you but you keep yelling about Congress. Yes well I am sorry The Chinese are buying it all up I tell ya So Blue Shield says okay you will be technically insured and this isn't cheap I'm 50, Mickey is significantly younger. But you know we're not 30 anymore so this is you know if you're talking some serious dough here all of a sudden that pops down on my ass and they say technically you will be insured but you will need to keep receipts because of Obamacare they say Affordable Care Act and the enrollment period and the backlog

1:40:33 You will not be able to actually have your insurance paperwork done for six weeks. Is this what computers are for? It's a glitch and I'm just flabbergasted, but i'm sure that if something really bad happens yeah... First of all is the hospital gonna even admit me?! They can admit you on emergency base you gotta find an ER or you have to go that way Do they take debit cards?? Exactly. Just say that you have Ebola! So the president was doing one of his little roundabout things at some metal workers, some factory and a guy asked a question and I was blown away by this answer

1:41:27 My name is Mihir Paranjpe. I'm the General Manager at Millennium Steel and we're very honored to have you One of the questions i had was about the health care costs We are seeing almost a double digit increase in health care costs every year So do you think that trend's going down? And what can be done to control that trend? Well, I think it's really interesting You're gonna have to talk to Henry Cuz no, this is serious. Yeah question is whether you're doing whether you guys are shopping Effectively enough you're not doing it right? You're not shopping right that's a good one He has the balls to say this This year and in fact over the course of the last four years listen to this premiums have gone up

1:42:15 at the slowest rate in 50 years. Pre- Why are they going up at all? Premiums have gone up with the slowest rate in fifty years! That is just fucking amazing, Mr President! Why are they going up at all?! They should be going down!! Wasn't that the promise?? Yeah! So healthcare premiums have actually slowed down No, the guy just said double-digit increase year over year. And the president just says you're not shopping right. You are not doing it right. It's your fault! Talk to Henry! Unbelievable. Yeah well you're experiencing it so this will be interesting. Yeah, it's already interesting. Yeah that's a big scam. It truly truly is and the more doctors I talk

1:43:08 Oh, all the doctors. I have a very liberal doctor he's like borderline communist and but he's great and you know he is into alternative approaches and he is 70 and he has got into acupuncture and no that drug isn't proven this just came out I wouldn't subscribe to him He's not a vaxxer but thinks people get too many vaccines This was years before the show I went in there because there was a bunch of promotion again before we were doing this show and I didn't sponsor it. You know, I was not...I was stupid and I asked him, I said, Dad, there's a lot of publicity for this hepatitis vaccine." He said that and I said should I get one? And he says what you're working with blood all day that you need a vaccine for hepatitis B?"

1:43:57 You a blood worker is that what you're doing? You're telling me. You working with blood Wow and I said no, then you don't need the vaccine wow Right on anyway But I have lots of stuff, but I'd like you to get to some of your stuff here I was just relaxing by the way we're Are you on the barco lounger again John oh We did the show an hour earlier today as John has a flight to catch what time do we have to really be done in order for you To catch the flight soon. Is that right now? I got some off clips, so don't have anything this thematic. I would like I do have the thematic I do have with somebody's talk about ISIS little bit Yeah You have a very long clip which is gonna interest you are saying ISIS now instead of ISIL. I said ISIS yeah

1:44:47 I made a mistake. But, notice that i wrote it on here as ISIS Whatever the case, I have a long interview of a regular who shows up on the PBS News Hour Fred Kagan Oh no! Not those guys again? Fred Kagan is a regular on the PBS News Hour I know he's one our guys! He's one of our huge guys He's big, big guy Big giant guy And he's an historian you know Yes, right And let's just play their jingle that the whole family has a jingle brought to you by clan cake. There you go

1:45:26 Well, we can start with that if you want it. It's a long clip is the whole thing and I just actually cut it off but I figured you could stop at any time but he gives kind of background on this on the gaff...I don't understand why they do not get rid of Clapper? But Clapper comes out... Well, the president trying to get rid of him by saying in 60 Minutes interview was his fault! I don't know why they can't get rid of him. Whatever the case is, 60 Minutes even Obama said that well as an intelligence network... I could just imagine Clapper going oh really? Well i have the root password to everything! There's something like that going on obviously or I have some lighter material As you prefer

1:46:14 Or, let's see where else I got these other clips. Maybe just play something? Yeah or just keep talking! Let's talk about this odd fire story which i thought was amusing and I want to comment on it. Firefighters in El Dorado County are expected to have the massive King Fire fully contained today The fire has burned nearly 98 thousand acres and is ninety-eight percent contained The fire, which has been burning for several weeks has now destroyed 12 homes. At one point more than 5,000 firefighters were helping fight that blaze. The Medea County Sheriff's says last month's fire there was started by a man burning deer carcass. The sheriff says the man confessed to finding the carcass while doing construction work and said he set it on fire to get rid of the smell. The fire destroyed 30 homes and burned more than 300 acres before reaching the edge of Bass Lake. The Fresno Bee says the man has apologized for the fire so far he has not been identified

1:47:04 Nor arrested. Okay, well I got this deer here we're doing what are you guys doing? We're building this building here But there's a dead deer hey, I got an idea why don't you torch that sucker it stinks is dear. It's a torture burn it Wow. Okay, just the dumb California. Yeah and that was pretty dumb Now here's another story that is kind of interesting you know some one of them some American kid was an aid worker this is the latest thing that ISIS ISIL people are doing they're grabbing somebody a do-gooder he's out in the open as a do-gooder let's kidnap him and then either chop his head off or get some money out of him

1:47:41 So this, the parents of the kidnapped kids come on. This is a story about it. Is Peter Kasich who you're talking about? I think it might be whatever the case...I want you to tell me if you see that this package the same way I do these parents were coached to say what they said and I'm thinking is this what, it's got to be our people like State Department. Is this the message that you're supposed to send out to get your kid back? I want to talk about this. Well the parents of an American hostage held by IS fighters have made an appeal for his release their son Peter Kassig is 26 he's an aid worker and he was kidnapped in Syria a year ago

1:48:20 He converted to Islam during his captivity and his mother wore a veil during her video message to the captors. We implore those who are holding you, to show mercy and use their power to let you go. Okay, I have a lot to say about this but i want to hear what you want. I don't have anything to say about it It's obviously coach employ your mercy use your power all these code words that are used in this messaging okay? I think her now explain to me how all this works because I followed this trail and we also need to talk about Alan Henning who was Beheaded I'm sorry There we go

1:49:08 Peter Kasich was an army ranger and he decided to help Syrian refugees, and he founded something called S.E.R.A., S-e-r-a... And mind you in this story they told you that he converted to Islam He started this SeraMedic, S-E-R-A-M-E-D-I-C.org and if you go to that website it says due to the present security situation in Syria, Sera has temporarily ceased its operations Doesn't say our dude was beheaded even our story let's look into that It talks about

1:49:50 talks about Peter Kasich, former US Army Ranger who served in the Iraq War. Talks about their values and then nothing about him being kidnapped, nothing about him being killed they just close this down and of course Sarah is nowhere to be found as a 5013 C corporation non-profit They do have values. Sarah conforms to the humanitarian charter and minimum standards in humanitarian responses outlined by The Sphere Project, SPHERE So I go looking at The Sphere Project My goodness! The Sphere Project

1:50:28 The Sphere Project Office works to implement SPHERE's vision for improved quality and accountability in humanitarian response. Staff include a project manager and five other positions, and then they have all these accountability standards meant for non-governmental organizations... And the Sphere Project Office is hosted by the International Council of Voluntary Agencies in Geneva! Alright, off we go to Geneva the International Council of Voluntary Agencies which is a huge organization global network of non-governmental organizations whose mission is to make humanitarian action more principled and effective by working collectively and independently to influence policy and practice. Hello State Department!

1:51:13 Members of the ICVA allow smaller NGOs to have our voices heard internationally, thus bringing to the fore issues close to the hearts of smaller organizations. And then you really look at what this guy was saying, this Peter Kasich with his non-registered as far as I could tell SCRA international nonprofit he said please send your checks to the Epworth United Methodist Church which is this little rinky-dink church in his hometown, for a Muslim converted Islamist to have checks being sent to the Epworth United Methodist Church for his nonprofit which has not filed any paperwork... IS SKETCHY AT BEST PEOPLE! So let's go to Henning. Which is the guy who was killed... Where is this church?

1:52:13 It's a chain of churches. What is Epworth? Indiana, I think it is. Well there's one in Berkeley and there's one in Denver... The one specifically is for Epworth United Methodist Church in Indianapolis and that's where you need to send your check. And there's no news of this guy anywhere on this website so what was he doing as far as I'm concerned? He was on their team! I don't, i can't see it any other way. He converted to Islam and then now he's been in their custody captivity for nine months. Well I'd like to know here's my question and this is all great it's interesting

1:52:59 But what is the deal with these parents, with this exact same wordage message? Is it code to tell somebody something that emphasizes if both people say the same thing then you got to do this or I mean what is... This seems like some sort of a bag job of some sort. Yeah! And the mom's got her headdress on Yeah, well let's follow the path. Let's go back to Alan Henning who I investigated when he was held up as the next guy to go which by the way is before we have these two Can't Lie episodes so Cantlie, the other British guy even did a second episode it was so uninteresting you and i didn't even discuss it on the show there was...it was so dumb

1:53:45 This was supposed to be some kind of ongoing soap opera episodic thing. It's gonna be an episodic video and it is dumb, it just no good So this Henning guy...this is a ambulance driver who by the way in every picture is throwing the Islam number one salute Is that the middle finger? No, it's the like we're number one but you do it in a certain way. You point at a certain way this is the... I do not know this! Yes Islam is number one Okay Now by the way the guy who has been in captivity for a year They've feeding him well because he did not lose a lot of weight This is big guys fat A Fat Brit

1:54:27 And it's not like they're starving him. So whatever is going on there, he's getting fed well because he did not look very starved And this of course is, oh it's horrible. Again the same pattern for the video we see slice-slice-slice-slice-slice but everything is exactly the same little shorter speech by the guy and then we see a photoshop job with his head on his butt with some blood but nothing like a bled out head or body would be This is what I have from surgeons who just say this is not enough blood It's just not enough blood The BBC

1:55:05 kicks this up with this interview with Kassim Jamil, who was part of these aid convoys to Syria. And he was his buddy and it's a two minute clip and I'm trying to think how i want to set the listeners up. Okay, just to pleasure me please think of this... Pleasure you? I don't think so! You will pleasure me by just for this one moment because it's going to be a big ask here. Think this guy is acting. Just think he's an actor

1:55:50 And then listen to the clip and then we'll talk about it. The captors knew that he was just an aid worker This was just a game for them, they knew what Alan was about I thought getting to know Alan for such a long time They would release him You know this is what were holding on too Are you angry? Angry...angry's not the word Angry is an understatement First and foremost I'm distraught As is everybody Even people who didn't know Alan He just needs to look at one of his videos. I'm absolutely heartbroken, not only have i lost a friend...I've lost someone who is closer than my own brother to me you know being a non-muslim the amount of help he gave me on convoys no muslim and i'll openly say that no Muslim gave me the help on these convoys that Alan gave me Of course im angry but Im Heartbroken! I am absolutely devastated

1:56:52 I think a lot of people, as you say that don't know Alan will be inspired by his story. Do you feel like some positive can come? Any positive? The BBC is reading a script here that has nothing to do with journalism This woman is saying ohm...I think he will be inspired by his story Thank You Can come from this The positive has to come from this. That one individual has made such a difference! The people in Syria didn't know Alan and they risked their lives, they risked their lives trying to find Alan whilst I was there. The whole world knows Alan you know would have it any other way because he's done more than over 1.5 billion so-called Muslims have done and ultimately played

1:57:56 He's ultimately paid the biggest price by sacrificing his life for the men, women and children of Syria. Okay so of course I go and look into Mr Jamil because this is the only thing i have to hold on to then uh mr jamil has been a member of these um non-profits The Aid for Syria Convoy, which is managed by charities such as One Nation, Al-Fatiha Global and Aid for Syria. These organizations organize fundraising events that invite radical preachers as guests. Mid November the Aid for Syria convoy had Zahir Mahmood and Mouaz Beg who came in to speak. And these are definitely if you read up on these guys

1:58:53 radicals. Jamil's own Facebook, which I can't... so i'm only going by what I have, I can't prove any of this of course the profile is now deleted now that you know everyone has been looking at this could be total bullcrap it could be the Koch brothers faking me out I don't know just telling you what I found in my research on his facebook page he lauded Syrian jihadi martyrs had some quotes by Osama Bin Laden such as our men love death like your men love life He's promoted excerpts from the Quran which justify violence against Jews, who he describes as dishonest and enemies of Allah. Claimed that Shia Muslims have defamed the mothers of believers... You know? So I'm—it's very hard to take this seriously particularly when looking at this video

1:59:45 as a video production professional, which I've been in. It sounds like a BBC soap opera. It does because they acting you know in the soap opera it's always interesting to me And if you can pick up, anyone can pick up on this is when somebody has memorized a script and they execute the script. Even a good actor doesn't sound natural because when you see people with their camera or they stick to camera in the face of somebody who's actually had a real tragedy, their house burned to the ground right in front them and the way they speak, their cadence and everything that's natural about somebody who has a mic stuck in their face and are not professional actors or presenters and they're just talking like normal people

2:00:26 They sound different than this funny kind of pacing you get from actors. And his lines about he paid with the ultimate price, you know? Right! That and the way...and the quoting 1.5 billion or whatever. 1.5 billion Muslims yeah it's all the talking points are in there Yeah, you don't normally talk with talking points when you have a mic stuck in your face. And you're crying and you're distraught... And naturally distraught. So the last thing that comes to mind now it really doesn't matter because the president already put his statement out and the President does statements about this United States strongly condemns the brutal murder of United Kingdom citizen Alan Henning by the terrorist group ISIL

2:01:16 Mr. Henning worked to help improve the lives of the Syrian people and his death is a great loss for them, for his family and the people of the United Kingdom." I don't think it's The United Kingdom...I think it's United Kingdom. "...standing together with our UK friends and allies we will work to bring perpetrators of Alan's murder as well as the murders of Jim Foley Stephen Sotloff and David Haynes to justice speaking standing together with a broad coalition of allies and partners We will continue taking decisive action to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL And, let's see...the president is- I mean everyone is out there working on this. NPR had this fantastic and that's our national public radio here had this fantastic little report which completely fixes the Corazon Group lie The Corazon group is the day after we have the White House fence jumper

2:02:11 started the attacks in Syria, but we didn't go after...we didn't have ISIL. We hit some group called the Khorasan Group who did not have a Wikipedia entry until September 21st when... I think that mention of that group took everybody by surprise and here's NPR fixing the problem. One of the first targets of American airstrikes in Syria was an al-Qaeda unit that US officials have called the Horus on group even now there are many questions about the organization including why the public hadn't heard of it until just before the U.S launched attacks rebels on the ground in Syria say they've never heard of it others claim It's just another name for what's known as core Al Qaeda okay so

2:02:56 We have some issues. Let's bring in some spokesholes and let's wrap it all up in a neat ball because NPR when you ask an official Spokeswhole of the United States government, and they give you an answer You need to just believe this. The jihadi encryption thing, that's her voice. For weeks now it has been really exciting to see what is happening with ISIL and the Horazon group which they pronounce as Horazon instead of Corazon. I noticed that. Horazon! For weeks now the Pentagon has been having to field questions about Horazon

2:03:45 including whether it even exists. We've been watching this group for a long time, I can't account for the fact that it wasn't a household name in America or elsewhere around the world That's Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby in a press conference this week The notion that we would just you know make them up or fancify the threat they posed to justify military action is just absolutely ridiculous Absolutely ridiculous! How can you even think of such a thing? I should mention something. If you read the Pakistani media or any one of these countries back there, all these groups have been identified by the press—the Middle Eastern and Far Eastern Press or the Near Eastern Press whatever you want to call it, the Southeast Asia Press

2:04:35 And they're all... The brown people press, we'll just call it the brown people's press. They're generally in the CIA handbook. Yeah! There is no such thing as a group like this. No. Everybody knows all these groups. I mean, the Horizon is a region. It's a region known as the Horizon Region. There are about 50 groups in Pakistan. There are like 50. There's none of these groups that are big secret until the last minute when we decide to bomb them This is bullcrap. Let's just roll it back a little bit, just to hear him say that because one day in the future and I hope we're still alive will make him eat those words because these things do come out you know it gets declassified everyone says oh yeah well long time ago you know our government doesn't do that anymore. To justify military action is absolutely ridiculous In fact two intelligence officials confirmed NPR that the US military's Joint Special Operations Command felt that the horizon threat was serious enough

2:05:30 Now, so this is not journalism. You have the spokeshole say that's just insane to think that we would make that up and then she says in fact two personnel no names could be interns could be the guy cleaning the bathrooms they confirmed NPR Do people yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah true. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah This is not journalism. This is a line you can call and that's what you get this minute dance. Hello We'll try this out for a second click

2:06:13 Hello? Yeah, yeah. Hey hi this is Dan Douchebag from NPR I have a question about this Horuson group Are they for real? Yeah, yeah, yeah Alright thank you very much Justify military action it's just absolutely ridiculous In fact two intelligence officials confirmed to NPR that the US military joint special operations... IN FACT! This-this is This people should be forced to resign over this report. I'm telling you, this is this is a pay raise. Give me a break. Patience command felt that the horizon threat was serious enough to put together a target list in June. That list included the group's leaders who were embedded with other Islamist fighters near the Syrian city of Aleppo. The mission didn't get very far because at the time, the White House wasn't ready to launch strikes in Syria or Iraq

2:07:07 Intelligence officials say that the concern was that the horizon group might be able to get hard-to-detect bombs onto airplanes in response to that threat. I thought those were Yemen guys? Yeah, that's a Yemen guy! You're confusing this story but in fact sources have confirmed NPR that everything you hear is absolutely true This is all a fact it has been confirmed just take it from the yes Yes Guy...Yes Yes Guy Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a fact it's true the yes-yes guy says yes. Yes so therefore it's a fact yes. Yes guy Yeah, good. Yes yes the Transportation Safety Administration issued a warning in July for airlines to step up screening and the horizon became a top priority And the horizon my ass became a top priority I think they're just all laughing going hey let's just pronounce it horizon like its horizontal yeah lets make it a HORIZON right now we are at the 13th green where the president is about to put in

2:08:09 Let's talk to the yes-yes guy, see if it's a fact. Is he putting? Yeah yeah yeah I like this guy! He is pretty interesting. This is a good guy. Then we have... Now you know how I love to associate things and love to look at why things are happening. The towns that you heard first ever on this program before you heard them anywhere were Waziristan No one had spoken about Waziristan. Oh, yeah But we brought it up on the show because a pipeline runs through it Then we got all these drone strikes and was there's also nailed the reason for homes being homes in Aleppo being Yeah, homes in Aleppo and I could have called this one but I I Didn't but it's okay now Let us again review part of part of the mission here is to thwart gas oil but mainly gas coming from

2:09:08 the Iran-Iraq pipeline through Syria into the Russian port, to thwart that and to have the pipeline from Qatar going up north—through Homs and Aleppo by the way which is the most direct route—into Turkey to circumvent the gas in there. Which of course is all part of the Ukrainian issue just getting Putin out of our hair with his gas and all that stuff And we have something new happening in the region with ISIL. This is a rare look at the fighting in Anbar province. Anbar Province! Hmm... For days now, Iraqi army and pro-government Sunni troops have been fighting against ISIL who are entrenched in Haditha town

2:09:54 Helicopters fly overhead, launching attacks and providing much needed air cover. The pro-government forces are inching ever closer to Haditha and are confident of victory In Anbar province the Sunni troops and the Iraqi army seem to have been given a morale boost and tactical advantage by the coalition airstrikes against ISIL bases. However, there are significant numbers of ISIL fighters in the area." Okay so this is the Anbar province and bar which is the main hub for the Iraq-Jordan pipeline now normally you might not say oh gee what's the big deal with the pipeline from Iraq to Jordan well it becomes interesting when you're talking to

2:10:40 State Department energy envoy Amos Hochstein. Good news recently and it's you returned from Israel where a deal was signed between Israel and Jordan for $15 billion worth of gas from Israel to Jordan over 15 years What is the significance of that? I don't know, the significance may be that we just have to make sure that we turn off the Anbar pipeline There is no more gases, they can only come from Israel So let me just say that the deal was signed in Jordan between- Pretty close to a Jay Leno you did there. Thank you! The companies that are offered, the consortium of companies led by- Man I can talk to yes guy Yeah Jay talk with the Yes Guy Yeah yeah yeah! In between uh...the companies that are offered, the consortium of companies led by an American company Noble Energy out of Houston Uh..that operate the fields offshore Israel To supply gas to Jordan This is a letter of intent and it follows a previous agreement for smaller amounts of gas

2:11:33 I think that what's really important to notice here is to broaden the aperture a little bit and looking at... Broaden the aperture a little bit. This is how we speak this guy by the way was a lobbyist for gas companies before he became the acting energy envoy for the United States State Department. Nice! Yeah! Measure the cash this guy's rolling in? Oh, and he looks like it too that's when someone says let's broaden the aperture that's money talk That's how bankers talk people I think what is really important to notice here is to broaden the aperture a little bit and looking at the Eastern Mediterranean Let's broaden the aperture of your sphincter as a sub-region

2:12:16 onto its own and including in that Turkey and Cyprus and Egypt. Do you hear this is everything we've been talking about is coming true with this huge, this bonanza of gas offshore Israel Lebanon hello? Hello Lebanon you're on deck This is so obvious and then we cut off the pipelines to Jordan. People, can you not see it? Israel and Lebanon... And looking at an area that has new discoveries some very significant discoveries in Israel and Cyprus and there's more drilling going on and potentially in Lebanon Egypt will have as well. Hello Lebanon! Get ready for the leba-bomb! But its changing the dynamic of how to look at energy

2:12:59 As a tool for cooperation. Oh, as a tool for cooperation? You will cooperate. And I, what we see as the reason that the State Department was involved in mediating some of these deals not just the one between Noble and Jordan but others as well in the region is to look at how can energy serve after people talk about it for many years as a resource conflict for resource for conflict to look at as a resource for cooperation you will obey You will obey a resource for cooperation as in if you don't cooperate. You'll get none of this resource Yeah, that's your State Department yeah That guy is pretty cool by we want to hear more of him a little bit because he talks about

2:13:48 So here's the idea. It's obvious that a lot of people are involved in it, but this is America. This is Houston, this noble energy who Clinton has been advising and not Hillary Bill. This is his big advisory and of course it's a Bush connection. It's all the same people they've been drilling in this Leviathan field which is off Lebanon, it's off Cyprus... And by the way we got Cyprus! We nailed that bitch We got that with the IMF. We got Greece, which is right up above it so we can pass everything through this is... It's so beautiful and then we get Turkey! You know? So we can get into Europe The whole point is we gotta get into the customer hands which are in Europe And um.. and its going to be a very cold winter according to Amos Hochstein

2:14:37 But he has teams on the ground. Let's get back to Ukraine and the energy crisis there, what more can the US do to help make that country energy sufficient? And not only over the long run but you know this winter so we have teams that are already in they've been working in Ukraine and... Oh really?! What teams are these? What are they doing? Who do you think these teams are John? Drilling experts. Department of Energy and the Department of State are working in concert to try to address some of the issues for this coming winter, it's a challenge and we're trying to do as much as we can while we still want to support the process that EU is leading on the commission on trilateral talks on resuming gas

2:15:23 of big push in Europe, which is a huge issue particularly for companies like the Netherlands who are passed through countries. They take Russian gas they take Russian oil they store it they stored underground even in the Netherlands to the detriment of the northern part of the country which has earthquakes because of this earthquakes in the Netherlands, can you believe it? Then they pass it on. We have the European Union we have the Monetary Union They're pushing for the Banking Union and of course they want the Energy Union And there are legalities about gas that I didn't understand You cant just...if you buy gas from Russia If your Bulgaria as an example you cannot just sell that to someone else It's illegal

2:16:25 Except if you have the sanction and the license to do so. So they're talking about creating the energy union, and reverse flows within Europe of people who have gas pushing it back to other countries... It's fascinating! It's a good point in departure to look at 2009 And in January 1st of 2009, the Russians had shut down the gas to Ukraine over a pricing dispute and payment dispute. A few days later they shut down supplies to rest of Europe that gets its gas through Ukraine That dispute ended on January 20th of 2009 The remarkable thing about looking at that period and looking at now when they've shut down the gas to Ukraine again is what a different world we're in. And the reason we're in a different world, is because both the EU as an institution and the United States have been working diligently and hard... To fuck Putin! ...for the last three four years on this issue to make that difference. Okay so you gotta stop it there cuz I think if you don't overlook So this whole thing- This is Putin's fault

2:17:25 Because I guess what, they cut the gas off in 2009. And they've shut it off again to Ukraine? No, but shutting it off again is not the point...it was their initial shutdown when they started putting all these things into play because you don't do these things over and over again. You don't shut the gas on next thing and know that you have bypasses everywhere. It takes years! Right. You gotta spend years and years developing schemes for bypasses. So they started in 2009 we could probably get some details of that. They started this strategize against the Russians in 2009, which makes sense within a lot of different levels with some of the action going on in the Middle East including what we just saw on our show about Homs and...which was years ago. And it used to be only about Syria which was about Russia vetoing going in and removing Assad because it's Russia's business.

2:18:15 It has now turned into this whole Middle East thing, but we used to look at Syria only in terms of Russia because that's what it was about at the time. Right? So this is a really elaborate scheme. Huge, huge schemes. A huge elaborate scheme because the Russians pulled that stunt in 2009. The way the deal works is you do a deal with... We'll give you everything you want but you don't pull a stunt like that No, because you're now an unreliable customer. If I have like...I have the diamond as big as the Ritz and I'm chopping pieces off because De Beers wants a certain amount every month and we agree that I'm gonna chop off a pound of months and chop it into diamonds to give it to De Beers. I can't all of a sudden say, screw you! I'm keeping my diamonds or let me just chop the whole thing up." You do these deals with Western countries with it in mind that you're part of an evil

2:19:07 Cabal that is screwing the public, which is the way it generally works. And you can't pull a stunt like that! Well we know of course the reason why they turned it off was because Ukraine wasn't paying the bill That's the recent shutdown No, 2009 was exactly the same reason 2009 also because they weren't paying Yes, they weren't paying the bill and they were stealing gas that was meant for Europe which was transiting through They still had their little pipeline at the northern part and they had all these other ways of getting it through. They just had to deal with these criminals in Ukraine... Yes, yeah who were not paying! ...who are saying is not changed at all. And I don't put in past... You know by the way... This plan went into effect in 2008-2009 It was Princess Leia who was running the show at that time The Gas Princess

2:19:56 Julia Tumashenko, that crazy woman. She's a thief! She was stealing all this money from the Ukrainian people. Look Putin is not... I'm not gonna say anyone is good but whatever the...I don't even think this is retaliation it's just opportunism. Hey we have an opportunity here to grab at least 30% market share of the European gas flows. We can't really stop the 40% that goes through the Nord Stream pipeline into Germany, which Germany uses mostly for itself but they're now also benefiting because they could now transit this to their own north-to-south pipeline into the European grid tax free mind you! Tax free

2:20:47 But then the opportunity for 30% of the European gas market, particularly if you have this huge gas field right to the south with our special relationship people, the Israelis. And we've already cleared the way in Cyprus. We screwed the Russians out of Cyprus! I didn't forget that all your money frozen gone? We've got that get out or get out, get out Russian's out of Cyprus Cyprus is clear, right underneath Greece. Greece is clear it'll be bankrupt in 15 months. Boop! In we go. In we go. The US changed its regulatory processes to make sure that gas can flow inside of Europe even Russian gas once it enters the EU doesn't have what's called a destination clause This is important this is the destination clause so this is what we want We want to be able to put our gas and then go to anybody which is what the European leaders want

2:21:45 They want this energy union so it's one big country negotiating for the gas. Which, you know... And boy do you set people up for bribery and becoming disgustingly wealthy with... I'd like to be on that purchasing committee! That would be nice! Hi, i'm a buyer for EU gas? Second, the reverse flows interconnectors but we need to do more together with the European Union Together with individual member states in Europe to make it an integrated and interconnected market. Gas needs to be able to flow in not just north-south, but east-west, west-east interconnecting countries so that there would be not only the ability to bring in other sources of gas into Europe in a easier way and have that flow throughout Europe based on need That will allow for diversity... Listen to this! Based on need? They want to control inside the EU even

2:22:38 Do you have a need I think you could turn your thermostat down a little bit You don't really need that much. You watch, you watch this happen supply the computerized gas meters are for At an ultimate level probably yeah easier way and to have that flow throughout Europe based on need That will allow for diversity of supply diversity of transportation and diversity of fuel mix fuel mix mmm, they're gonna dilute it Yeah, or yeah there must be some other stuff coming in

2:23:15 It's an odd thing to say out of the blue like that. I have a final 45 seconds, I don't remember exactly what it was... Israel's energy minister Slovan Shalom said his nation is becoming an energy superpower. Is that an overstatement? I think super power may be a little bit of an overstatement Well, because I'll have to tell him to shut his mouth next time big fat stuff. Shut up yo But there's no doubt that there's significant discoveries in Israel We avoid superpower in general as a term Someone's getting a memo hey hey Hey dude, do not use the term superpower when you're talking about energy. Okay? But I but i do think that there are significant discoveries here but looking at it the way I would differ with with the minister is that this is not about Israel

2:24:04 It's not about Jordan or Egypt or Cyprus. It's about the region it's about the reach is about the money Yes, it's about the corporations and there is not enough gas to justify every country having To spend 10 billion dollars on their own infrastructure We have to look at it in a smart way and a collaborative way and a cooperative way do what we say I like this you're not that you're not doing it in a smart way You might get a hellfire Who has infrastructure that already exists? Who has the roots, who has the gas, who has the oil and see how do you make this all work in a way that at the end of day it's not about governments and not about politics. It is about generating prosperity for the region. Wow! What kind of prosperity are we talking about?! Is it about generating prosperity for the reason...region? Yeah.

2:25:03 That's what it is, man. Rubbleize! Rubbleize the region! If you rubbleize it you have to rebuild and there's money in that Yeah but they are guys literally saying You know hey we've got to work smart I when someone says to you let's be smart about this you should probably shoot him in the face It's a good idea because that guy is up to no good. Rubbleize... I'm gonna write that down. Hey, let's be smart about this Bill Why take chances? You know what i mean? I hear ya! Hey lets ask the yeah guy hey should we rubbleize the region Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

2:25:53 Well, you know this is an interesting day because this is the first time I've seen a spreadsheet that I don't have to scroll. Yeah, little things here so let's thank a few people who did come up to the plate Stephen Shipman in San Rafael California who did send in his short note and it's our read since he sent it in by hand I completely says as part of my initial donation, I completely derailed Adam from pushing the karma button for me. Apparently he asked for karma and by having included a question in my note about his universal audio-based recording process this launched him into full audio geek mode! I don't remember this when did this happen? I do remember good you were in a zone

2:26:44 Well, you know people send me notes and say hey I'm starting a podcast can you please send me your setup? Let me know how it works. Ludicrous is ludicrous! It took me 10 years to figure this out You could teach a course, you could do a seminar. No what I want to do is I want us to be selling the best podcast in universe kit in conjunction with Universal Audio who make the box that we're now using and we can have our own plugins That'd be cool It would be the... The Dvorak Skype plugin The Curry Tourettes plugin Well anyway, give him a karma that he didn't get. I'm so sorry that was unintentional

2:27:28 That's okay. You've got karma David Alston in Yukon, Oklahoma 111 and 11 Thanks for doing this show I'm also concerned about the volatility of donations to sustainability of this worthy venture The most underappreciated aspect of the no agenda show is the stellar and artful audio engineering Which is well beyond the most major networks? I'm sorry. I didn't hear exactly what he said there What did you say? It was the what? I can't, ah man. Something got in my head. Adios mofo! It was just stellar audio engineering thank you Thank you for that recognition There goes this snapping again

2:28:08 Spence, search summoner in Calgary Alberta and we just get these out of the hundred bucks. Nice going monthly contributor cannot do that anymore because PayPal has permanently blocked me what? What how does that work I don't know Travis Benelli in this super upper Decker if you know what I'm saying there is a scandito California $100 and then he says paypal cut off my last message please view email okay we will That was probably Him saying, ha I gotcha. Oh the Upper Decker? What do you want to be called? Pooping in the tank We could call him Sir Pooping In The Tank. Tank pooper. Giles Pavot and... I'm gonna be Giles here. Hey French guy! A French guy from Paris! No he's a good guy. Long overdue donation yesterday. One French guy listening he says Nice

2:29:07 Sir Chad Biderman or beater depending on whether you what he's one of our regular so I have to as Since he sent in a note. I'll just take a look at it He says he recently had that put his cat Mr.. Falker to sleep But I had a few extra years with him thanks for the no agenda karma Thanks again And so we got the car on credit he believes and so here's 100 bucks to make up for it Dan Oh Dan O. In Washington State somewhere, and he has a note he says he's Dan O. I want to read this. This is one of the notes that really did want to read. John, as she says, I appreciate your alternative thoughts about lateral thinking

2:29:55 In other words, he wants me to comment on this and you too. I'd be curious to know if you have any thoughts on building a writing regimen and what yours is as you have been consistently prolific at writing consistently good article over the years—30-plus years, I might add? Example, do you...or question. Do you block out a specific day to write or do you wait until inspiration hits you? No, you don't...do not write that way. If you have any interesting thoughts advice...okay every writer has a regimen they write four hours a day typically sometime most of them from 8 to noon everyday. Eight to noon huh?

2:30:32 Yeah, I do an eight to noon read. Most people do...I take of all and I've read about other ones but I always ask writers this. I've asked Anne Rice. Really? I've asked Bradbury. You talked to Anne Rice? Yes she was at a book signing in Boston in the bookstore that happened to be in. She was roaming around the bookstore in advance of the book signing and I talked her about writing. Did you say...? You look familiar to me did you say that it's kind of funny No actually had to add it on what she looks like but somebody told So I went over there and asked her, what word...I always ask the same question. What word processor do you use? At the time she was using WordStar and what's your regimen when do you write? And she writes from 8 to 12. And then breakfast with Ray Bradbury once. Wow! Asked the same questions and he said the same thing. Others have too. Wow! Now can I ask you a question? Sure. Is your...What is your regimen

2:31:23 8 to noon. And what word processor do you use? I use Microsoft Word Do you use the ribbon? Unfortunately, I don't like it. It slows me down What do you have for breakfast? I usually have eggs or oatmeal I'm disappointed what happened to the croissant coffee and bubbly water. I have croissant coffee for the show now That's your podcast regimen yeah, you have a cross on with jam and in coffee normally drink tea I use Vim do what VI M dim V Victor India Mike Yeah, I was using emacs for awhile But I think vim is better

2:32:09 Yeah, well okay. That's a holy war jihad. I know, I shouldn't have said that. Wait before you go on, I have to finish the note. Oh, sorry! He says across the area he read an article about lateral thinking. Lateral thinking is one of his assumptions most people believe it is true as challenge leading to new line of thought that would probably not have been considered elsewhere in this way and then he goes on with Peter Thiel who's not a writer and far as I'm concerned just really lucky person What is the thing you believe true that most do not? I don't care. It's probably pretty much everything You can get send me another email as an answer directly okay now you can run DUI with Ebola story sent to Adam thanks guys this is Alan Smith in Powder Springs, Georgia

2:32:57 You didn't read his email. Jose Riveros. I got a lot... Yeah, it was a very long note yes. Okay something about Ebola? Yeah well no it was no hold on its coming back to me that there was, yes someone they were afraid that someone who was arrested under DOI was probably puking in the cell. They thought he had Ebola they locked everything down it's crazy. Another dumb story this is going to go on for months Alan Smith Powder Springs that's Jose Riveros in New York City 7777 which congratulating us for a seventh year and Philip Rodonkonicus

2:33:39 Rod Connick kiss in Oak Hill, Virginia Finally a Virginia donation 7777. They guilted him 70 says 73 is his K from kf5 now that's Ben Smith That's the next line Oh Yeah, it Ben Smith is 73 73 KF 5 SWC I just want to say something about Philip. He said, have you given any thought into organizing as a nonprofit so that our donations would be tax deductible? Yeah we're never going to do that. Can I give you some insight information?

2:34:17 So, we study how to do fundraising at the show and it was discovered actually when we were doing some very heavy research that in fact if you're a non-profit organization not just taking the money and giving it straight to the government like we do. It turns out you get less donations. We would actually get less money According to all the research, if we were a non-profit. And it's not like we don't have to pay taxes anyway? What is the benefit? There is really no benefit. It's a benefit for people donating because they can get tax deduction but you're only donating to this show which is part of your life just to get a tax deduction... ...is probably insincere Whatever the case is donations would go down That's fact! It actually researched fact Hold on a second

2:35:09 Let me just ask them, let me check for a second. Hello? Yeah yeah guy would our donations go down if we were non-profit? Yeah yeah thank you it's okay you can hang up now Oh you click and then people will get that reference Brian Brown Orange California 6969 Send Me Drunk So, somebody's drunk donation will bring me tonight status. Oh he's a knight! I would like to be knighted as Sir Brown Eye of the Orange Groves. He's gonna be upset when he gets undrunk and hears that. Brown eye? Really?

Now this is interesting, in Poland the CH is pronounced H so it's LeHendro not Bogdan LeChandro like I kept calling him but it's Bogdan Lehandro and the C-H reminds me of the change in the way they're calling that organization. Yeah, Horazon. Horazon from Chorazon? Well its a K I think isn't it? It was a Chorazon but that would be a CH In some languages, I'm guessing. And anyway something's up with this... Strange. Something is up. Strange. Maybe a point to Poland? That's it! That's all we got yeah that's what was told. I do need to recredit James Cates' $100 donation to Andre Mikkelsen of Norfolk Virginia in honor of his birthday last month

2:39:10 Make sure we got that taken care of. And let's see, we have a couple of nightings today also some birthdays but we do need to remind everybody that we need a better showing for Thursdays program We're here! We're working it!

It's always our favorite there at the end Go to no agenda nation comm slash rings pick up your rings and your sealing wax, and you'll get your in your official certificate of Your peerage And you'll be put on the peerage map and thank you for supporting the program it truly is the only way we can make it go Okay well I'm dying here this was just open the window again. There's no air movements too warm oh Yeah, I had this long clip. Let's get a couple news items out of the way. Okay let's do this good idea. Let's just start with Sarkozy in trouble This is interesting

2:42:11 Nikolai Sarkozy's camp is in the spotlight once again. Three of his allies were charged with forgery and abuse of trust following the so-called Big Melion scandal. Big Melion was a PR company that dealt with Sarkozy campaign meetings ahead of 2012 presidential election but it's accused faking its bills so that Sarkozy's UMP party could spend much more cash on the campaign than his rivals. This is seen as a huge blow for the former French president because he recently announced his political comeback. He's done! I don't think you're coming back my friend, goodbye So they decided to get rid of him which is the way it happens like that fat guy who was gonna be the head of the IMF

2:42:57 Here's a story. Dominique Strauss-Kahn. Yeah, that guy. This is the clip of WTF Mexico this report is not being reported very much but apparently most of the drug cartel people have taken over much of Mexico by taking over the police departments and the city governments and end up stories like this around 100 officers cordoned off the area after authorities discovered fresh mass graves on Saturday. They're located on the outskirts of the same village in southern Mexico where dozens of students went missing last week. On September 26th, students from a Chilpachingo teaching college were protesting in Iguala after boarding buses in Iguala, the police fired on them three of the students were killed and 43 remain missing one of the youth confirmed that the police drove off with students

2:43:49 Yes, yes. I saw around 30 or 40 friends being taken away by the local police. On Thursday thousands blocked roads in Chilpachingo to ask the government for help finding the missing and protest against police corruption 22 Iguala police officers have been detained in the incident investigators confirmed that the local police are linked organized crime games But I thought there was an update to this story where they found a mass grave with the 43 kids in it No, no the mass grave was found before. Oh Okay, that's what they triggered the whole thing. They found a mass grave Before you go on to your next clip because I know you're on a roll but did want to just say that Because a number of people have sent these news items to us when Ferguson happened we both identified that What was it was being used?

2:44:45 to get people to vote Democrat. Yeah, and all the news articles voter registration in Ferguson surges after the Brown killing everywhere exact...and you nailed it this was your initial and correct analysis that this was all this talk about You know, horrible whitey killing blackie. All of this stuff was all about getting people to register to vote they were out there while the protests were going registered vote often Democrat and there it is successful. Yeah they do good work those Democrats fantastic work

2:45:29 I have in fact talking about that you might as well play this clip. This was on one of the, uh...this i believe is Hillary Clinton's former chief of staff regarding when she was secretary state not chief of staff but her foreign strategists or something along those lines. But this is the America is screwed clip, this is very interesting to listen to. Well I would love for national security play a bigger role in general because I think we're democracy the American people should have say but our Congress has not now organized for the American people that have a say it's highly gerrymandered so districts are going to people who are of

2:46:05 of the party that has gerrymandered that district and that's pushing districts to the fringes. And, the way that the votes are being jerry-rigged is similar so you get a Veterans Affairs vote with an Iran sanctions vote stuck onto it or pull troops out of Iraq vote with a Iraq funding vote stuck together and these are gotcha votes the whole reason that these votes are being structured is so that an attack ad can be written later for whoever votes for or against the vote to get them in the midterms because of that kind of gerrymandering of the districts as long as we have a Congress in which you know

2:46:41 if you vote on a serious national security issue, there's going to be attack ads at the midterms and you're gonna be hurt in the polls. You're not gonna get serious thinking and serious debate." And that's where we are right now so the politics of this issue suggests to me that we need to pull back on how politicized it is until we can change those politics and I think we have what eight more years until the census happens again? Where does the term gerrymandering come from? It actually, you know it may be a guy named Gerry Mander. I don't mind doing this for a moment. Oh here we go! The word gerrymander originally written Jerry-Mander was used for the first time in the Boston Gazette in 1812

2:47:33 The word was created in reaction to a redrawing of Massachusetts congressional election districts under then-governor, here it comes, Elbridge Gerry. So I guess they tacked Mandarin to Gerry? Yeah You know, it was the first yeah 1812 so it begins then and it just gets more and more fine-tuned to the point where some of these congressional districts in California for example have like you know a thin line through a bunch of communities and then up to a housing development. And it goes maybe, you know, 50 miles long or 100 miles of this little thin line of people that live in certain kinds of areas. So they're gonna...California has been gerrymandered to death but is mostly favored Democrats and so we have a state run by the Democrats and everybody's happy Democrat. I'm a real happy Democrat. We've been redistricted here in Austin, I think.

2:48:32 It's always designed to screw the public. Oh yeah, oh yeah. I mean you know we were talking about the Department of Homeland Security and how messed up it must be and i found this article in The Examiner...I just wanted to read to you what's going on in the Department of Homeland Security because this is not getting enough attention at all You want a little rundown of what's going on in this outfit? This 200,000 person outfit with the... Of course there is... They're gonna fold their tents and close up shops. Yeah I don't know. A US immigration officer was sentenced on October 3rd to two and half years in federal prison for accepting bribes in the form of cash and egg rolls from applicants seeking citizenship and green cards. She was in Santa Ana

2:49:17 She said, hey give me 300 egg rolls and then told an immigrant applicant to pay $150 for it. Bribery though is not uncommon in the Department of Homeland Security. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement ICE Special Agent James Dominguez admitted guilt on his role in a bribery scheme that illegally funded confidential DHS records to a Los Angeles immigration lawyer. Nice! His name is Kwang Man Lee, who was a former US immigration official. Doctored information in secret government databases and sanctioned sham marriages involving foreign nationals The plea deal offered to Dominguez was a bargain since it allowed him to be held accountable only for making false statements So he doesn't even go to jail Corruption in the Department of Homeland Security Former supervisor of the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General

2:50:11 OIG, Eugenio Pedraza was found guilty of conspiracy and falsifying government documents. He conspired with other ICE special agents to falsify investigative reports pertaining to bribery drug and alien smuggling they were placed on administrative leave and reached non-prosecutorial agreements with the government all charges were dropped against them with prejudice which means they can't be prosecuted of course But this is a pattern. Frank Johnston, former assistant special agent in charge of ICE Homeland Security Investigations received 24 months in federal prison for obstruction of justice giving false information to a federal prosecutor and a federal judge and devising a scheme to have his wife paid $600,000 by the agency as a consultant. Twenty-four months! That's pretty good deal for 600 grand

2:50:58 Former ICE agent Richard Kramer, one of the highest ranking immigrant agents arrested on corruption charges provided drug traffickers with confidential law enforcement background checks that helped smugglers avoid capture. He was sentenced or charged with multiple counts of drug smuggling and faced 20 years in prison sentence to 24 months in prison. That's a great outfit. TSA manager Brian... How many people smoke dope in some of these states and they get your life? I think Texas is one of these states TSA manager Brian Germain Livingston was running a prostitution ring out of a Chrome Plaza hotel in Maryland, pleaded guilty with no prison time for $500 fine. Of course he was... the services were... that was just somebody who didn't pay their bill! There you go. CPB officer Manuel Salazar robbed drug smugglers to transport 1700 pounds of marijuana through his inspection lane in exchange for a bribe of ten thousand dollars and 24 month probation

2:51:56 This is really unbelievable. Well, this doesn't even touch the surface of all the petty thieves that work for these operations are stealing laptops opening suitcases and taking stuff out there's so much of that goes on I would just cringe to think about checking luggage especially if it has a camera in it yeah oh no you can't do that you can't do that and then my favorite article here this is from The Independent in UK The headline is, scientists to fast track evidence linking global warming to wild weather. This is really phenomenally interesting. Scientists are to challenge the climate change skeptics by vastly improving the speed which they can prove links between a heat wave or other extreme weather event and man-made changes to the atmosphere

2:52:53 It typically takes about a year to determine whether human-induced global warming played a role in a drought, storm, torrential downpour or heat wave and how big of a role it played. This allows climate skeptics to dismiss any given extreme event as part of the natural weather variation in the immediate aftermath while campaigners automatically blame it on global warming By the time the truth comes out, most people have lost interest in the event. The Oxford University scientists involved in their project say hey we've got an idea! They're developing a new scientific model that will shrink to as little as three days the time it takes to establish or rule out a link to climate change

2:53:37 Another model. Well, this is fantastic Yeah This is great So they have a model and the minute it rains three days later they can say shut up already its science! Shut up already its science! That's right kids good work We had a local guy who got a lot of attention, it's grad student although they played it up as those guys like some sort of world-class expert in climate science and he came up with similar conclusion about local events like that. I think he probably was part of this program

2:54:13 And it's always...you tweak the model. It's always a model, computer model that somebody...they can't predict the weather with the computer model for the next five days with any degree of accuracy. I think their accuracy is 65%. Yet, this is the computer models can do these fantastic projections and they're not even close to being right. Both ways. I received an email from one of... This computer model thing bugs me! Well, thank you. I received an email from one of our producers and it was from his cable provider which is Optimum Cable And he says he's been with Optimum Cable for a long time. I don't know where Optimum Cable is. Hmmmm....I don't have it. Keep looking. Keep talking. I'll check it out. Yeah, you check out where it is. Optimum Cable...and so they sent him an e-mail

2:55:06 Twice a year during the spring and fall you may experience some degree of television interference due to a phenomenon known as sun outages. This Q&A will help you understand what they are and how it will affect you, What is a sun outage? A sun outage is an interruption in satellite signals caused by interference from solar radiation. The interference is caused when the Sun is in direct line with the communication satellite and the Suns radiation overwhelms the satellites signal How long do they last? Interruption TV servers due to Sun outages can last up to several minutes a day, how did they affect TV watching but all the obvious things there But then they supply

2:55:45 a spreadsheet. So first they have outages here and they have little table this fall sun outage is expected to occur between October 4th yesterday and October 12 during the following times, and this is just a small table it says Saturday October fourth start for 29 p.m., end 523 p.m.. But so they're predicting exactly when these outages are supposed to happen Let's just do Sunday, October 5th. 914 AM is when it should start, 525 PM so all day today you could have an outage and this is kind of a little table but then they have a full schedule of sun outages John they haven't broken down by cable network in how many minutes and seconds they expect an outage I don't understand how that how they can do this. I know

2:56:38 The geniuses. And I put this in the show notes so people can take a look at it, just give me one name...name a cable channel anyone? A cable channel? Yeah any channel you want. ESPN! ESPN okay we have ESPN Do you want zone 1, classic? HD? Zone 2? HD. That's 96. Today you can expect it to start at 426 p.m., and end at 434 p.m.. How do they know this?! I don't know... You're gonna have to ask them! It's baffling! Optimum is in Long Island.

2:57:20 Part of the of the shore the Connecticut Shore is scattered about The New York area. It's part of cable vision, which is like Science science there's also a bunch of good interesting availability in Poughkeepsie no Poughkeepsie yes of course I just found that to be fascinating, they could pin it down. Yeah, you've stumbled onto something. Baby Doc Duvalier is dead at 63? Yeah, I thought he was dead already... That's what's strange. Well but i'm sure it was convenient. I'm sure we didn't need him testifying. I think there was some testimony coming up for him. So I'm watching a crazy show called Ford Museum or something like that. Some very overproduced show

2:58:11 on that's on saturday mornings beautiful production but with some kind of a goofball you know science guy and they start talking about the other side since this is an answer to that so they ran the story which i was just an eye roller and this is the eight holes from austin and their great invention all thanks One of the biggest pains in your grocery shopping is dealing with the cart. Yes, yes they give you antiseptic wipes to clean the handle but then end up pushing it with your knee until dry. There's always one wheel that likes to mess with you. But what if he didn't even have to touch that shopping car? What if it followed you around like a loyal puppy with a basket? Here's Adam Yamaguchi

2:58:56 Who doesn't know this drill? Can you believe we've been pushing around this metal contraption since 1937, but that shopping cart with the battery your mom used and her mom used and Eleanor Roosevelt used is still pretty much unchanged. I'm baffled! Today they're building cars that drive themselves Why do we still rely on technology from nearly 80 years ago to help us gather our fruits vegetables and cookie dough ice cream That's all about to change thanks to creative minds like CK sample and Eric Schneider at chaotic moon in Austin, Texas They showed me their prototype for a smart card It's a shopping cart with a brain and here it is. Here it is so this is the next generation of

2:59:42 Yes, or at least one version of it I would say. Why did you decide that this needed to be reinvented now? The shopping cart works for carrying things and helping you shop but with all the new technologies that are out there there's lots of interesting things you can do so if your kids are having too much chocolate or too much candy and you're having a restock every few days this will tell ya yeah yeah and you can actually take the information that this is gathering and it'll actually warn you in the store so then when you start to drop in you know that bar of chocolate they'll say whoa Whoa, you're overfeeding your kids on chocolate according to the settings that you've set up for your children When might I see this at my local supermarket? It could be in the next year or so There are scanners in stores. There are eye beacons starting to be deployed in stores To tell you location of where things are but I think we're almost there Time to move out of Austin Seriously people What bullcrap Oh, this is internet-of-things bullshit

3:00:37 You got too much chocolate. What business is it of yours, chopping cart? Well I set it up with the profile for my children because I'm a moron but can't feed my children properly. I am sick and tired of this people you're gonna be so sorry when you grow up When you figure it all out, there's gonna be this moment of awakening. It'll be I wasted all my life on this bullshit and these stupid morons. Yeah listen to this high school! This is the competitive world we live in people Monday night's JV football game began just like any other game for Brandon Bulldogs quarterback Mason Matthew and his team was up 21 to nothing against the Northwest Rankin Cougars in the second quarter. Then the Cougars quarterback got hurt and couldn't continue. They tried to play some different kids at quarterback, you know any other position would have been fine because you've got other linemen when you get other receivers, you get other running backs but you only lot of times have one quarterback. The Brandon Bulldogs had two quarterbacks to utilize Northwest Rankin Cougars

3:01:39 What is going on? That is nuts. Any of the running backs to play quarterback most of them receivers can a quarterback. This is bullcrap You only have the one guy cuz nobody everybody else on the team's too stupid to play quarterback throw ball We borrow one of your guys All right I'm gonna leave my final clip, and I'm done that's you death that should have been your final clip That was a great no, and this one's the best

3:02:33 This is one of those, the truth wants to get out clips. From a politician and this is David Cameradong. Oh that guy! That guy from Gitmo Nation East Listen up Citizens of Gitmo Nation East Here's how he really feels about you. This party is the union for the young woman who wants an apprenticeship, for the teenagers who want to make something of their lives. This is who we resent these are the people that we are fighting for. Oh brother! This is who we resent! The people we resent? That's true! It's the truth it came out okay you can take clip of today and go on. Ah yes I knew hey

3:03:42 I'll take it by save the best for last like whipped cream on your banana split which we're gonna make and get out of here. I tell you hey, are you doing? Tech news where twit hello Oh no, you're going to Los Angeles. Of course not duh! No of course not I'm sorry yeah i forgot to say you're going to los angeles so you can't come right? I gotcha Sorry about that Hey well enjoy- What are you flying? What airline? Ah it's my favorite

3:04:26 Yeah, what's your boarding? Do you know your boarding number yet? You're right. Oh, it's no I always pay I'm not like you I paid the extra 25 bucks to get auto and auto boarding pass I have pre check. I don't know what your problem is free check doesn't give you a better boarding pass number It gives me all good feeling yeah well that's true Coming to you from the capital of the drone star state, but we are looking for a low-risk patient with Ebola walking around In Austin in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where it's still hot It's gonna stay hot and then going down to Los Angeles. We're still hot and staying hot. Ay yai yai

3:05:06 I'm John C. Dvorak. We'll be back on Thursday right here on No Agenda, remember dvorak dot org slash N-A. That's how we roll... And that's the story! There is a need for rescue mission when the world is threatened and the world needs help it calls on America And that's the story. And... but the most destructive can be the stu- to paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, The most destructive can be the stuff that you don't know that you don't know. Adios, MoFo!
