About this episode

A 19-year-old intruder wielding a fake pistol hijacked the Dutch state-run NOS news studio in Hilversum, demanding airtime before a televised police takedown. The security breach at the Media Park campus coincided with a surge in Dutch media scrutiny regarding Adam Curry and the perceived legitimacy of podcasting versus mainstream outlets like RTL Boulevard. This incident serves as a backdrop for a broader examination of the expanding European security state and the use of staged-looking events to justify surveillance.

Forensic analysis of the Kenji Goto execution video reveals significant technical inconsistencies, including white balance errors and unnatural shadows that suggest the footage was manipulated in post-production. In Washington, former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson testified before Congress regarding a White House campaign to intimidate journalists, while Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch faced questioning from Senator Jeff Sessions over executive privilege and the Fast and Furious scandal. Meanwhile, the new Syriza government in Greece has broken ranks with the European Union over Russian sanctions, signaling a major shift in the Eurozone debt crisis as Germany maintains a hardline austerity stance.

Senator John McCain provided a viral moment by labeling Code Pink protesters low-life scum during a Senate hearing for Henry Kissinger. The human element of the broadcast shines through during a travelogue of the Texas Hill Country, where a visit to Grape Creek Vineyards in Fredericksburg challenges preconceived notions about regional viticulture. The segment features a knighting ceremony for Sir Jason of River Rouge and a debate over the merits of Crate and Barrel versus IKEA furniture assembly.

CHAPTER 01 / 38 Discussion

Tule Fog, French Halogen Headlamps, Chain Reaction Accidents

The discussion opens with a comparison of weather patterns in Northern California and the Netherlands, specifically focusing on Tule fog and its role in massive multi-car pileups. Historical automotive features are examined, such as the yellow halogen fog lights once mandatory in France during the 1970s. The conversation questions why these specialized yellow lights, which were designed to penetrate thick fog without causing white-out glare, have largely disappeared from modern vehicles.

00:00 A withered old woman. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak It's Sunday February 1st 2015 time for your Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 6-9 or 2! This is no agenda Piling a healthy news diet for you from FEMA region 6 in the capital of the drone star state Austin Tejas in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where we're fogged in. I'm John C DeVore Mm-hmm most winter on street it's winter that's what you get see across the street as far well, we don't normally get

00:40 Fog is not part of the winter. It tends to be off-season, two different kinds... Is that June? You get June gloom? We sometimes get June fog and it varies a lot but there's two kinds of fog. There is this fog which is bay fog comes in from the ocean and which is normal for Mediterranean climate keeps area cool normally doesn't gets burned off and in the burning off process that keeps the area cool The other kind which you get more in the valleys and in the inner parts of California is tule fog. Tule? And that stuff is nasty. It's called tulie fog. I have no idea how to spell it, could be t-o-l-i-e for all. But its always been called tulie fog since I was a kid and it comes from the ground up

01:27 in certain areas and under certain climatic conditions, and it puts visibility at zero. And this is what results... It used to result not so much now but every so often it'll crop up against the cycle like 85 car pile up. Because these people will drive in this fog and I swear it's got vented, you cannot see beyond about two feet from your front bumper. So growing up in the Netherlands... By the way, I think it's T-H-U-L-E or T-U-L-E? It could be TH, yeah Thule. Drive in the Netherlands as a kid. There's a lot of fog and they would have probably Couple times a year they would have a what they would call a ketting boltsing which be it a chain reaction accident And you know, and you would have 100 200 car pileup It's unbelievable nuts man the end scary because you know people like really die

02:24 Not not yeah people. Yeah, I get well No you're getting rammed into and I mean if you're cautious it shouldn't be a problem But nobody is and it's almost impossible actually to be on the road in a really bad right to leave fog because you You have that I've had the situation where I've had to open my window and look down Just to see the white stripe yeah? Yeah That's how I flown that way before landing. Like what is there? So here's the question, I remember when i was in France in the 70s

03:00 Man, that's when women had very hairy legs. Yeah I don't know what you would there's all these people with these generalities about French hair okay anyway Everybody had all the French cars had yellow headlamp Yes the halogens which were illegal in some countries well they were yellow though no we're talking about actually color There are fog lights well week We called them halogen and they were yellow that says what we call them but yeah this piercing yellow lights. They're fog lights and we used to have fog lights available as options on some cars here, and that's because it was apparently a lot of Thule fog in France and they needed these fog lights on the cars and the fog...the yellow lights do penetrate the fog a few more feet if they're not that great but they do help what happened to those lights? They don't have them there anymore I've never seen those lights for 20 years

CHAPTER 02 / 38 Discussion

Adam Curry, Dutch Media Hijacking, Podcast Media Recognition

A 19-year-old man dressed like a member of Anonymous hijacked the Dutch state-run media (NOS) news set in Hilversum, demanding airtime to deliver a statement. This event coincided with significant Dutch media coverage regarding Adam Curry's personal life, leading to a debate on how mainstream outlets like RTL Boulevard perceive podcasting. While some newspapers treated the podcast as a legitimate media property, entertainment shows expressed disdain for the medium's lack of "official" status.

adam curry· netherlands· nos· rtl boulevard· podcasting· media park

03:52 Good question. I would think that the modern headlights that we have are better than the yellows? No, when you get fog and you hit it with a bright white light It just blows you out You can't see anything I don't know. It's an EU relate. I do know one thing we have a lot of new Dutch listeners today who might be able to help us oh yes right this is the new saga that were following yeah this is interesting by the way, this guy has got your exact same name which guy? This Adam Curry Yeah which guys that The guy they're talking about In Holland that guy Oh man! Well they finally are using different pictures on me

04:49 It's not just all the goofy... and man do I look like Bruce Jenner in some of those. It's not a good look, which is something we haven't talked about. Bruce Jenner? Or just my look! No, Bruce Jenner turning into a woman- Yeah i don't need to talk about Bruce Jenner. Although I will say that yesterday that in the 70s there were already a lot of rumors about him being transgendered. In the 70s. All right Okay, so there's kind of two stories that go crisscross and I'll come back to one in a moment. So we had our show we talked about what was going on my personal life on Thursday and as the show ended

05:36 A lot of people were sending me links to something going on in the Netherlands, which I want to come back to. Which was this... Some guy looking like Anonymous with a gun with a silencer hijacked the Dutch state-run media news program talking about how he had to do his statement and you know it's gonna blow stuff up and a lot of things happen. I want to get to that in a moment So really nothing happened. There was no response to anything that we talked about until Friday noon, and then stuff was just kind of exploding like, okay... And what I inadvertently because we talked about it at the top of the show it meant no work for anybody so they could all say oh if you're interested in listening to what Adam said and they just would post a link straight to the episode to the full mp3

06:31 Which is actually good because that way not only do we get a lot of links to sound files, but then it was pretty much the whole show. Anyone could keep listening if they wanted to so that was a win. You know like nobody... It's about time! Yeah well nobody's gonna go and cut something out and post it Too much work I didn't even think about that but it turned out pretty well Now here's what's interesting No, first I want to say the support. I've received from the no agenda community has been pretty stellar People have been saying the nicest things Everything for any of people praying not just for me but for Mickey and Christina and everybody being extremely loving and nice I've got offers I can stay anywhere in the world But I've gotten naked pictures from women and men this is everything is ready for me

CHAPTER 03 / 38 Discussion

Airstream Travel, Mobile Podcast Studio, Lexus Towing Capacity

A suggestion is made for one of the hosts to adopt a nomadic lifestyle by living in an Airstream trailer and broadcasting from the road. The "Dvorak Collective" proposes that a mobile existence would allow for better engagement with the listener community across the United States while minimizing living expenses. Concerns are raised regarding the logistical difficulties of show preparation while traveling and whether a Lexus is a suitable vehicle for towing a heavy trailer.

airstream· lexus· mobile studio· road trip· hot pockets· trailer

07:22 I think that, I should mention something here. We talked about it at the house? Uh-huh! We think as a collective... That is the Dvorak Collective. The Dvorak Collective believes that since you enjoy this so much and you would probably be really happy because you do have all these contacts all over especially in United States because you've done the Hot Pockets thing and stayed in different driveways Yes yes we think there's a lot of driveways out there for you a nice air stream and just get out of the place you're staying at, and just hit the road full time. The amount of money you could accumulate because your expenses are going to be quite low, and then number of people...and the goodwill that you can generate from being on the road on a trailer

08:09 I think it's just a great idea. You know, and should i tell you something? This is a common idea this is not just the Dvorak collective but this is something that I've received continuously yeah they're telling you this is the cosmic message Well, I've got six months lease on this place and then I could do that if I wanted. I guess... Oh it'd be great! I don't know where should i go? I'm coming from Minot North Dakota Should just drive around just randomly or...? Nah, wherever the whim you'll be sitting there reading a newspaper and you'll be in Lincoln Nebraska

08:49 and you'll be seeing, oh this is interesting what's going on. Let's go there! A big festival in Springfield Missouri it's not that far you hit the road you go to the big festival you can go up to Calgary Stampede I've been to the Calgary Stampede but not with a trailer No i have not been with a trailer The problem is, you know, then I'm show prep is difficult. You know, I'm driving a lot then... No, you can settle down here and there for maybe a week or two. You talk a big game! I would say I'm too old but let me say that if I was you yeah do this really? Yeah absolutely Do have a tow package on the Lexus

09:30 The Lexus is not that what you want is a nice truck. I just asking No, but I don't know if you can put one on there whatever the case you wanted to be funny looking though And you want an Airstream and you went to so roomy I'm thinking okay? I think the idea is good But I think I need a driver You can pick up some women along the way and have them drive once in a while. I don't know. There it is, there it is. That'll keep you... that by the way will keep you from driving around too much if you think you need to drive. You drive from place to place to place and you stay awhile meet the locals. It's a consideration. There are so many no agenda listeners. It is a... It's a consideration. Okay, we'll work on it later. Yeah oh yeah

CHAPTER 04 / 38 Discussion

Relationship Status, Grumpy Host Stereotypes, Dutch Gossip Media

Listener feedback suggests that changes in a host's personal relationship status might lead to a shift in the show's dynamic, specifically a move toward a "grumpy" persona. The conversation touches on how Dutch gossip magazines and "TMZ-style" shows like RTL Boulevard covered recent personal news with a mix of interest and professional elitism. The hosts mock the idea that mainstream media is "real" while podcasting is dismissed as unofficial.

tmz· rtl boulevard· gossip blogs· listener feedback· relationship· media disdain

10:20 Okay, so now moving on to and really fantastic and has been so incredibly nice just Some people are also very worried. I think there's a funny funny email. I got this morning. Let me just read it to you It's like the show is going to be ruined that was the That was the basic message Where was it? Um, maybe I don't know what i did with it. But it was basically you know now that your relationship is over you're probably going to turn into another Dvorak and then the show will suck. What does that mean? Like I'm gonna be grumpy or something! That's what-that was the... What does that mean?! Yeah I'm just telling you this is what people are saying It's the collective Who is this? I'm gonna ban him

11:07 I gotta find it now. Go on with the story about the Dutch media, I'll find it later. Okay? Now here's what was interesting to me that now this appeared in newspapers, in gossip magazine, gossip blogs kind of like TMZ type shows And what interested me the most was the decisions that were made in determining where this recording came from. Was it a radio show? Was it a podcast? Was it, you know, a digital radio show? Stop a second!

11:49 You mean the reporters were having difficulty determining this thing? I would say the reporters were having difficulty explaining it. So as an example... Oh, I see right. As an example for the reading audience. The main headline was Adam Curry said this in his radio show Exactly And kind of one newspaper that actually did quite a good job of translating what I said And it really went into depth on his radio program, which is a podcast...they really tried to explain the podcasts, which was interesting. This is editing. This is the editors that make these guys do that. Absolutely. The reporter probably...because I've been through this. Uh-huh? The reporter knows what it means and what a podcast is. Of course! But they... He knows the audience probably knows what a podcast is and he can use the word podcasts in today's by the way, in today's day and age people can...especially

12:40 especially if they're reading online. They can look stuff up! So it shows the disrespect, really... you reader? You're stupid because you've never heard of this word. This is so dumb that you don't know where to explain it to you. But there was at least treated as a real media property which was interesting Then you had the, like the TMZ TV show. I only saw one but it was enough for me RTL Boulevard and the host of that show so he had such a disdain... Of course, you know, he's in entertainment right? And then it's like well Adam said something on this podcast! Like anyone's bad podcasts alright It's not really official but it's a podcast

13:32 Which shows you just the total, I don't know. It's like podcasting is not real. That's not really any kind of media. We're real media! Yeah that's what he says. That's exactly what he said. Knowing is doomed. And yeah and I found that to be really interesting My ex-wife, of course took advantage of this to go promote some other product. That's what you do? Exactly! Promoting pantyhose or whatever... my goodness You laugh at my life Yes I think your right i need to go far away in an airstream. Oh that would be great We'll get it all painted up with the No Agenda logo on the side

Tarik Z. Hijacking, NOS News Studio, Fake Weaponry

Detailed analysis is provided regarding the January 29, 2015, incident where Tarik Z. entered the NOS studios in Hilversum with a fake silenced pistol. The intruder handed a letter to a receptionist claiming to represent a hacker collective and threatening radioactive explosions across the Netherlands. Security failures are highlighted, including the gunman being led to Studio 10 instead of the live Studio 8, and the eventual televised police takedown which some observers characterized as looking staged or poorly acted.

tarik z· nos· hilversum· anonymous· silencer· studio 8· netherlands

14:22 The big bullseye. Shoot here! Anyway, so that was... Right where the bathroom is? Yeah. So that was kind of that. There's not much else to discuss I guess. Oh okay well now- I did look at uh did a search and did some looking and with the Google Translate try to read some of these articles it's hilarious i should read one of them it's like how does what is how does this make any sense the translation in this world is pathetic Anyway, I just would see if there's anything coming up that I'd have to be a wary of so I don't you know But they look like the same old story told a million times and it's kind of off It'll be off the radar again very quickly because did you follow what happened with this? I think I think is almost like a six-week cycle Dutch style With the news broadcast in the Netherlands. This was truly bizarre So eight o'clock news

15:20 Instead of going to, you know like and this is the Dutch, uh, the NOS. It's the, it's like the BBC, the Dutch government kind of run, you know, the nonpartisan and it's just black. It doesn't switch over there. The news doesn't start. And then for the viewer now we know a lot more after the fact before the viewer after I don't know 45 minutes all of a sudden we go live to a studio and there's this kid um, who is, I don't know if he was Moroccan or... all of it's kind of irrelevant because it was so crazy and bizarre. But he's a good-looking kid you know short cropped hair but he's dressed like Anonymous John He has the black suit with the thin black tie in the white shirt

16:04 He's dressed like someone from Anonymous. It sounds like he's just a black Muslim from the United States selling bean pie Have you seen pictures of him? No, I should go look and see what he looks like. So... I'm unaware of this story Oh oh this was... Just to let you know And so I'm seeing the video of this and then now they're broadcasting this live. This is going out on the station from the news set, there's you can hear a guy talking to him and he's carrying...and I saw this immediately, he's carrying like a huge automatic weapon with a silencer! Like oh yeah okay. And I don't recognize this weapon, this doesn't look real and what terrorist uses silencers? Come on.

16:48 This old school, no one does that. Why? He's there to make some noise because he wanted to read a statement and actually have the episode... And you want to read a statement on the air now So here is The sequence of events this guy walks into the media park as they call it which should be better protected and goes up to the reception desk and hands the guy there a note that says, okay when you read this I'm translating directly in real time. You know by the way I should mention this to interrupt

17:26 There's very little coverage of this in the United States. They don't want to give, you know... because they know that they're giving people ideas when they show stuff like this and it would be hilarious if it started happening here but I think our listeners will be the only ones that know about this because I can't even find it on here! Interesting So his letter translating in real time, by the time you're when you read this do not panic. Don't start yelling and warning your colleagues just pretend like nothing is wrong I'm heavily armed if you just cooperate with me then on nothing will happen to you please know i am NOT alone there are five more of me plus 98 hackers ready for a huge cyber attack above that there are eight

18:11 heavy explosives that have been placed around the country with radioactive material. If you do not take me... Wait a minute, okay. But wait for it! By the way FBI has agents in all countries also in the Netherlands so if you do not take me to Studio 8 to hijack the broadcast of the news I will be we will be forced to turn to action You would not want to have that on your conscience. Would you so please take me now to Studio 8." And then he had underneath that, a little statement he was going to make... So here's where it already starts to go wacky for me. This reception guy takes him to Studio 10

18:55 which is not Studio 8, where Studio 8's about to go live and he's in Studio 10. There is a director there and there are some other guys getting ready to do a stand-up like he's in Beirut or whatever you know how that goes. Oh Bill switch over to that studio which is just two floors up. And so they get there and then he's talking to the kid and the director who was in the booth records it all and the kids like, hey man this is taking too long. Where are the guys? We gotta get rolling on this." And then all of a sudden...and all of this we now after-the-fact have full on video from including they decided to turn this guy and put him on live Well, hey ratings. Yeah well I'll get back to that of course it's rated they should have put them on immediately but okay took and for the 45 minutes before they put him on is just you know please stand by there's no news no nothing and everybody in the broadcast center is cowering in the corner and then all of a sudden you hear yelling and you see the kid drop the gun and he drops the gun immediately immediately

19:56 Get on the ground, he gets on the ground. The cops come in which it's not like a SWAT team but this you have to see it to understand that the Dutch cops and they have orange emergency jackets on and... The whole thing was so bizarre! It was either for me very poorly acted Or this kid was completely set up with thinking that there would be 98 hackers ready to go and five other guys by someone who completely indoctrinated this schmuck. And he's actually, he said we're going to be talking about things you know... We've been sent by intelligence agencies to talk about things that are really heavy shit for the world but all citizens have to understand what's really going on. You know total crackpot talk

20:43 Although I'm sure what he was thinking is probably not far from correct, but that just doesn't work very well in mainstream. And so this is all going down and here's the strange thing... So one they didn't put it on at first then they switched it live But then they did not go back to your regular programming, they did not go to roundtable discussion of what just happened. They kept it on standby after the kids already been arrested you know they goto black and stand by and I think that repeated some really old crappy ass thing. What? I know! Because all these people... It's a bonanza opportunity Right but here is the funny thing

Dutch Reality TV, "Wie is de Mol", Security State Expansion

The Dutch public's reaction to the NOS hijacking was mixed, with many viewers expressing anger on social media because the news interruption pre-empted the popular reality show "Wie is de Mol?" (Who is the Mole?). The incident is compared to the Charlie Hebdo attacks in terms of its potential use as a catalyst for expanding the European security state. Reporters have since identified the gunman as a 19-year-old student of Egyptian descent who was reportedly obsessed with conspiracy theories.

wie is de mol· the mole· reality tv· charlie hebdo· security state· netherlands

21:28 So the Dutch people, there's this show in Holland called V is the Mole. Who's the mole? And it's a reality I don't know...I've never watched it but who it's a reality show and you have these C liberties D liberties and they're doing they're traveling somewhere and somebody's the mole someone's there to either you know hijack things or you know brewing whatever it is Somebody's the mold a mole like the shield. It was like a show a reality show so they're just so they're contributing to them it me those Moles, okay go on yeah And this show is very popular and because of course at sea in D liberties and the Dutch

22:05 like to talk about, oh I think it's that guy. I think she is the mole or whatever." And then of course was following as much as I could and you know this the tweeters and all this...and people were so mad that they had pre-empted their show! Yeah. And really they were putting big posts, they were posting like dude you ruined our show and that really became the news more than this kid. So I'm thinking just looking at face value of what this is it can only be two things And by the way, when the Dutch... they're not... They've gotten much better in their filmmaking skills. But I used to have to laugh a lot about... You know, Dutch cinema films were pretty much like, The Germans are coming! That's kind of the level. Yeah okay we're back to this train here. Right but no, the point is it could have been just a very poorly acted production put in place

23:10 With all of the sequence, the sequence of all these things. I think you're right from the beginning FBI set up some sort of setup with this Joker in there and looking at him now and by the way the only reference i can find it Western media is in the Irish press and uh... It's very difficult to find this because again I believe they put these things out there but they don't want Copycats so you won't run the story at all. I wouldn't run the story for that same reason the guy looks just like some schmuck James Bond movie here, I have 60s hear the details he's half Egyptian 19 years old both parents apparently deceased psychotic The reporting now is he was a psychotic poor sad guy who watched too many Illuminati videos dude? I'm only one one

24:03 Suit and tie away from this guy. Yeah, well now they begin the airstream oh God I'd it just reeks of silliness to have this happen And of course, then of course the discussion the next day is you know oh this is like Charlie Hebdo and just sweet Charlie. Oh we have to protect our journalists and we have to...okay. Who was shot? Who was killed? No nobody but the fact that he got in that's what they're talking about. This is just more add to the security state! Anyway I have both videos when he's in the

Language Nightmares, Ask Adam Segment, Technical Difficulties

A personal anecdote describes a nightmare involving a language barrier where one host could only speak Dutch while the other could only understand English. A planned "Ask Adam" segment is delayed due to technical difficulties in transferring audio clips between computers.

Super Bowl XLIX, FAA Drone Restrictions, NFL Media Rights

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a "No Drone Zone" warning for Super Bowl XLIX in Glendale, Arizona, citing safety and security concerns. The discussion suggests that the NFL's primary motivation for the ban is the protection of lucrative broadcast rights rather than public safety. The hosts argue that the league wants to prevent unauthorized aerial footage of the game from being captured by hobbyists.

26:23 Okay, I will entertain the audience with... This is a public service announcement. Of course today in the United States of Gitmo Nation one of the finest hours of propaganda and militaristic indoctrination of the entire population of the United States we have the Super Bowl which of course will contain many many military moments of flyovers and marching, and really... yeah. Really very important things for us to feel and then we'll have these guys, you know Try to kill each other on the field and I'm not gonna spend all this time trying to get to the damn clip And the FAA has put out a public service announcement about the Super Bowl for today going to the big game Have fun cheer on your team and keep it in no drone zone. Don't spoil the game Leave your drone at home

27:23 There you go. Leave your drone at home. What? Leave your drone at home! Do not bring your drone to the game. Because, don't worry we'll provide the drones Leave your drone at home. Actually, that's going to be a problem with football games because people are not going to leave their drones and think it's hilarious! Exactly Because you can put the... if you're good You can control one of those things without looking at the controls Put it between your legs and send this drone out there and have it land on the court But should I tell you what the real issue is? It's not about that. It's about the rights The what? NFL...the rights! NFL does not want people shooting video of their game

Jeh Johnson, Super Bowl Security, Wilson Center Discussion

DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson appeared at a Wilson Center event hosted by Jane Harman to discuss security preparations for the Super Bowl. Johnson detailed the "marvelous partnership" between federal and local law enforcement, including the use of magnetometers and vehicle screenings. The hosts criticize the focus on "Inflategate" and the general militarization of sporting events, noting that the security measures often feel like theater.

28:10 No, they don't You think you're gonna get in trouble just for if you have a camera on your drone. Oh, you're in big trouble Yeah, so Jane Harman who used to be well she senator or Congress Congress She was a congresswoman from California Southern California and she of course now is super annoying now that she's no longer that she was always annoying But now she's really and really annoying and she's a CNN correspondent but she also is a chair I think at the Wilson Center I believe that's correct. And this is some kind of think tank or what is the Wilson? It must be like it's a, it's the group. It's a, it's the think tank, uh, consul on foreign relations to drinking club.

And I'm giving you a chance to offer any comments you want about deflated footballs Yeah, so she knows she thinks that's being funny. Oh the audience did to listen I'm gonna stay away from deflated footballs. I'm gonna stay away from expressing any preference None of my teams made any got anywhere close to the Super Bowl this year team says he have Apparently his owner of a number of football teams

29:56 And really, do people have more than one team they root for? Well you know me I've talked about this before. Yeah you have Mike. I only root for the winners. There ya go! I was there yesterday How Juh Johnson of you Yes very Juh Juh saw first hand the marvelous cooperation and partnership that the federal government has with Arizona State Public Safety, with the Glendale Police Department, the Phoenix Police Department. I met with the governor and it's a marvelous partnership it seems to be working seamlessly

30:36 I'm confident that we've taken tremendous precautions for the Super Bowl. There are magnetometers everywhere screening all the people who come in. But how will that detect the invisible bombs? Yeah, they're going to have their butt. That's not good into the stadium and get scanners. Hmm. Let me see if he was going to say something about that. Hold on a second. She should have asked him now she's too stupid We're screening all the people who come into the stadium. Screening, screening... Including workers Workers! We're screening all of the vehicles that get within a certain distance of the stadium and so I encouraged at a press conference there yesterday that we, that I'm confident will have a safe and successful game Yeah Well if somebody asked me what do you fear most about the Super Bowl? And i said overtime

31:32 Oh, big laugh. No laughs. Zero laughs. Nobody knows anything about football in that group. They just know about Inflategate because it's gotten so much attention. Johnson knows all about it Over time you know something did happen in one of these games like something really spectacular. Oh the NFL would tank Yeah, yeah, there's nothing to be a major it but There's nothing going on in this country why don't we you know? We had what? These all these things are set up by the FBI all of our terrorist events But then now every Paris events overseas oh

Super Bowl Commercials, Crate and Barrel Assembly, IKEA Comparison

The conversation shifts to the cultural impact of Super Bowl advertising and the personal task of assembling furniture during the game. A critique is offered of Crate and Barrel's transition toward an IKEA-style business model, where customers must assemble complex pieces using hex keys and provided hardware.

crate and barrel· ikea· furniture assembly· advertising· commercials

32:14 Well, you can point to them and say, oh what if that happened here? Oh what if that happened here. But that's not being done which I do find interesting. I do not know why this has not been picked up yet it's probably just because of Super Bowl. That's part... Do you think...? Right because yeah well Super Bowl is the number one show on television on an annual basis they have more... Although The Academy Awards would like to tell you that's not true No they know it's true It's a huge number 60, like 70 million or something they get. Yeah it's just borderline yeah something like that and then all the you know this with you all these crazy commercials supposedly I think it's ridiculous personally and I think its militarized and I think there is too much discussion about I think it detracts from actual news if people like football and I do It's fine play the game and let's watch but I don't we should be talking about for two weeks solid

33:08 I have well it's jokes and it's an advertising bonanza. That's that's what it is It's all about the advertiser So I've decided I'm going to put the shelves together while watching the game out of the corner my eye While watching the game a while yeah, but since when did did Crate-and-Barrel decide they could be IKEA They've always been borderline IKEA Well they've gone full in IKEA now you have to put the whole thing together Oh, I didn't know yo Well, that's because somebody did some looking around and said what can we save if we don't put the stuff together? We're nuts. Well, we could put it in smaller packages That'll save us like millions and then we could you know they give good what a hex keys cost well That'll rack up the bill probably costing hundreds of thousands of dollars for those little keys Yeah, I got one of those in this box yeah a little key

33:55 and uh... good not only do not included is the screwdriver you bring your own screwdriver well you would need a screw driver for the low-key now but it's like he has stuff doesn't require screwdrivers ever just got to be the key twelve twelve of them screws eighteen white things through so that is an asset that's a bad idea is it looks a little too much anyway alright So we have a we should probably jump to our little segment here before we start to show it That's that is a good idea And I do of course want to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you John C Dvorak where the c stands for shit

Texas Wine Tasting, Grape Creek Vineyards, Fredericksburg Tourism

A visit to the Texas Hill Country near Fredericksburg is recounted, specifically a tasting at Grape Creek Vineyards. The host expresses surprise at the quality of Texas wines, noting that the vineyard has won numerous medals at international competitions in San Francisco and New York. The logistics of Texas liquor laws, which prohibit Sunday alcohol sales and require "membership" for certain tasting areas, are also discussed.

Let me tell you what I had. You tell me if you've heard of any of these? Well probably not because there are so many. It's like California they keep cropping up but go on. Rendezvous?

What is these guys on ecstasy when they're naming these things I'm telling you they had a Big awards, like gold in San Francisco. How many? Is there any gold standard thing for wine? Here we go. I think the International Wines and Spirits Competition for American competitions is probably the best but there's also The Chronicle and they have... Sacramento has got something going on at the State Fair. Orange County has a winetasting that's accepted as reasonable. Yeah, it took a photo hold on a second

37:47 San Francisco International. Wines and spirits, yeah that's the one it's not just wines because they have a separate spirits company so that was June 2000 I used to taste in that group Yeah this is why i wanted to tell you about it So they won eight medals double gold best-in-class um in 2013 Long Beach Grand Cru Then is that worth it nine medals to gold Pacific Rim competition heard of that one Pacific Rim competition San Bernardino Yeah, everybody's in on the act new world wine competition Ontario No, no San Francisco Chronicle. Yeah That's a local they started doing it out of the blue we should do what I was it was the board reporters We should do we should do an international wine competition. I don't think this book could be won in Austin and

38:35 The way it works, I know how they do it. You have to... It's a fee to enter your wine They don't just pick wines and buy them Oh! It's like one of those art fairs Yes Yeah Ha ha! You pay the play Ah Well anyway, I bought you a case You bought me a case? A rape freak? Yes Oh thank you Yes, I'm member with the club I remember the club. Pat just showed up! Well, they have a patio and it was raining yesterday but it was horrible weather but needed to get out and my lovely friends had taken me out So they took you to the grape court? Nurse Tracy actually took me out Now nurse Tracy... where is this place? Fredericksburg? Fredericksburg yes Where are they getting their grapes? Right there! They're growing them? Yes

39:22 Yeah, there must be 20 vineyards all in this one strip of Route 290. How far away is it from Austin? About 50-60 miles. I am... Ooh! It's a nice little town. Fredericksburg is hilarious! It's hilarious?! Yeah, it's like you walk back in time to 1890 It looks like it. Well, any kitchen shop is a place to go bankrupt. And then what there's this place that it's I bought it in the kitchen they have... The whole place preserves and butters and dips all homemade on premises and you can sample everything So it was pretty much almost just south of the dead center of Texas Yes exactly It's hill country though

40:26 So it's still hill, so it is pleasant. Very pleasant... well, it was raining but yeah And so anyway, so at the vineyard they had the tasting and of course you know good tasting there's like a bachelorette party. It's just like eh... So there was a patio with heaters which was nice then let's go sit there but no members only now what is this bullcrap? What does it cost to be member nothing but you know you have to that I think that's a Texas law But what seriously No I bet you that county, there's a bunch of places in Texas that are quasi dry and you have to be a member or something rather than get in the drink. No because you could drink in the tasting areas. Oh okay well never mind. Texas is dry, you cannot buy alcohol on Sunday even in Austin even I've discovered. Yeah yeah you know me, I need alcohol. You should always have...that's why you should have a cellar! Not anymore

41:27 So, yeah. I became a member and the only stipulation is that they send you some bottles of wine every five times a year or whatever. So, I got you some wine but I'll be sending it to you. All right. Check it out. Some of their awards winning. Okay. We'll talk about that later. Let's get to our group of people that helped us on this show because we did have a plea saying that we needed some more donations because we were falling into the pit there. So it turned out that people are loving the show, although there's a lot of controversy over the... Over the shortening of the show? Yes! Yeah We have people saying you're right it should be shortened. In fact I just got a note from one of our Dame Lizzie's dad

Executive Producer Donations, Sir Russell Williams, Job Karma

The first segment of donor thank-yous features Sir Russell Williams, who becomes the Baron of Southwest Idaho with a $700 donation. Several listeners request "Job Karma" following layoffs or career transitions, including a 20-year Navy veteran preparing for civilian life. The hosts debate the ideal length of the show, with some producers suggesting a 90-minute format is more effective than the traditional three-hour broadcast.

42:13 who agreed with this. Let me see if I can find it...

I'm going to bump myself up to Baron today but I'm going to do it in two donations The first will be 700 since episode 700 is coming up soon I'm hoping it will qualify me for double producership Okay, we'll do that.

Both of you, with the help of a worldwide network of producers are delivering outstanding news and analysis as opposed to in the past I guess no longer are you just making personal observations and working on hunches? You two guys sitting around having a discussion about personal experience and what they sense is going on has become a real inquiry and research." Yeah well that's also with the help of

51:33 producers around the world who give us real insight. This may not appeal to the fans of what has been in the past, which is more bullshit and less fact... I think this show has more punch and that may be too much for some." And John's correct about the length of the show being too long. There you go! I recommend 90 minutes and that the show notes do the rest. 90 minutes? He's really harsh Well, he probably wants three 90-minute show which is not gonna happen.

Valentine's Day Donations, Enigma Movie Critique, Value-for-Value

Donors contribute $214.00 in anticipation of Valentine's Day, while others discuss the historical inaccuracies of the movie "The Imitation Game." A Polish listener points out that the film ignores the vital role Polish mathematicians played in cracking the Enigma code. The "Value-for-Value" model is praised by international listeners from Germany, Japan, and the UK, who argue that the show's analysis is vital for "enslaved commuters."

55:54 I know it's not an exciting line of business, but hearing you guys bantering and providing your unique perspectives on the media and the government always livens up our days. Thanks for all the work you do! Can you please add Diane Marks to the birthday list? Pretty sure she is on. She seems to be Robert Kane 214 88 from Columbiana, Alabama. This is a Valentine's Day so it's good for a double hit to four Yeah You'll be a double producer here already answering the douchebag check call with my ham version of a valentine's donation 214 88 Sorry to hear about your personal issues, Adam. No questions as is none of my business but I wanted to let you know that you have a lot of friends out here and you could lean on if you need too. John maybe you could pick out a jingle or two to make Adam chuckle? 73 N4XT You know before every show I think I say to myself I'm going to think of one of the old old jingles

57:00 Maybe I don't get a kick out of it or if you can even find it But let's play with the Hillary Clippity-Clop song. The clippity-clop? You threw me for a loop! Yeah, hold on Let me find it then... Clippity-Clop Song yeah, song we mean song It's a song Is there any different than anything we've used no use to use it all the time uh yeah, it's an old western song yes, I know That one? Yeah. It doesn't play the whole thing, where she says there's one with her talking in it. Uh yeah... There's that one. The message is clear! Yeah that's an old one alright

57:59 That's not the one either. Okay, I don't know there was one where she says the message is clear then she says we came we saw oh Okay that would be clippity-clop new Oh yes, it's Clippity Club new. The message is clear. That's all I got? That's all I got? I'm telling you... No! Another one out there. No we have a- But that's okay, it's fine Well this is the one your confused with So I mean that is the land of- No that way, that's not it. Let's move on Yeah please Sir Christian Herzog Don't ever do that again

58:40 What, play the Clippity-Clop song? Just... just... no. It's like throw me off guard man! Well I you know that's what i wanted. I'm trying to start the show thinking it to myself what clip have we played forever then you should email me that before we take you forever to find out okay sir Herzog in Elwood Illinois 214 15 nice which is cute Before I get into the meat, my prior donation took me to Baronet. But that part of my note seems have gotten missed. Does this make me a black Baronet?

59:18 I feel like donating this show has caused myself and other producers to bank some karma. Several producers who worked together until just recently were let go at our previous employer when they decided they just don't want to do what we did anymore! This is the second donation of people are getting canned. This is...the problem with this pressing in spite of this job related turmoil it seems that We are all going to come out of this okay and maybe even bank a little bit from severance, which is good thing. It's actually not a bad time to pick up severance and then get a job someplace else because I think things are picking up actually because of the low price of oil which I can only attribute it to the karmic residue of listening to The No Agenda Show. I don't want to mention the company but the other producers will recognize this note

1:00:11 I don't know why we can't mention the company. If you could hit us with some Jobs, Jobs, Jobs, but Heredia's gone a karmic chaser, I'm sure it will go a long way to bringing good results not just to our group but any other producers and listeners who might be swept up in similar circumstances love the Miss Universe Q&A review yes they're incredibly hot but not very bright women but it almost seems painful to subject them to these stupid questions and Adam hang in there man He says man. Just hang in there, man! Yeah! Jobs jobs jobs and jobs let's vote for jobs! And her head is gone You've got karma

1:00:56 I edit some of these sentences as they go along and it says, hang in there man. I thought hang in there would be better than hanging their man in terms of the way it sounds when its read. I will never question you again. Well you can question me all you want that's not true. Sir Dean Baron of The Gold Coast in Beaver Lake Washington 21415 again. Thank You A bit of support from Sir Dean Baron Of The Gold Coast And then we have a click down on... Sir JD, Baron of Silicon Valley. Sir JD, yes. JD, Baron of Silicon Valley 214 San Jose.

CHAPTER 14 / 38 Discussion

Slave T-Shirts, First-Time Donors, Evergreen Audio Clips

A host recounts a social misunderstanding involving a "slave" t-shirt with a barcode, which was misinterpreted as a racial statement rather than a critique of the system. The segment concludes with a wave of first-time donations and the introduction of "evergreen" audio clips, such as Senator John McCain yelling at protesters, intended for future use in the show.

slave t-shirt· barcode· first-time donors· john mccain· evergreen clips

1:09:47 Please keep up the great work and for all the folks out there, don't forget that you're listening to The Best Podcast in the Universe. And it's a great responsibility and honor to contribute and support this show. I'd like to request job karma for myself and general purpose karma for my enslaved family that is just getting by in Gitmo Nation East in hopes of better days." Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! And jobs! Let's vote for jobs! You thought karma. I like that. Enslaved... but, I wore my slave t-shirt to the spin class the other day? Yeah. Ever since 12 Years a Slave, the movie it's no longer appropriate apparently People don't get the joke! It says barcode! I'm a slave of the system they're like what's this slave t-shirt? You making fun of The Black Man?! That was insinuated. Sean Acres in Missouri

1:10:46 $200.02, yeah you can read the whole thing if you want I like John to read it out loud on the show okay first John like to say that i'm always amused by your spunk and vigor that you inject into broadcasted conversations over the internet your sharp witty as good note yeah this is great now tell me if you want to have a good time pretty good in my book onto Adam oh boy you heard him uh-huh So, on to Adam. You know I recall a conversation that you and Adam were having in the No Agenda podcast about how if someone says, hey are you all right? That's not necessarily what someone wants to hear at the moment

1:11:27 A more mature approach would be to already recognize that something is wrong and do something to perhaps help turn that person's mood around for a little bit, provided that the gravity of their situation is—that it pulling them down is not too serious or dire. Of course That's just a gamble you have to take. But Adam showed a side of himself that was telling of an emotional nature and I think it is one that a lot us have experienced before, and suffice if we say its not fun! So that's why I've decided to step forward finally and make a contribution. By the way, we had a lot of first-time donors this show and i want to thank all of them for finally because once you invest... It's like Girl Scout cookies! Once you have one yeah especially those mint ones. The green box

1:12:18 Anyway, he goes on. He says that in my opinion I've started listening to Agenda Show and my life has gradually improved and I have evolved as a person for which I am presently and consciously thankful. And he says, stop drinking alcohol everybody. I'm just going to give him a de-douching since he's brand new might as well have it. You've been de-douched! Almost there. Almost done and of course you know we'll have nobody now is an opportunity for Thursday people That's right if you want to be in exec or associate exec come on in Now Maurice Tate has the best note He says it all, this is Vallejo California up here by me

1:12:56 Chicks dig producers. Nuff said, they tell me. Uh-huh Matthew These are 200 dollar guys Matthew Pepico in Hiram Georgia Hiram, Hiram Georgia Dear guardians of reality I received the newsletter John reaching out to producers the greatest podcast in the universe for donations was 8 p.m On a Saturday night when I received the mail I appeared on The Note and it was drawn to the highlighted section support of the show has decreased Say no more, since I was absolutely doing nothing. Like a typical broke slave on a Saturday night, I ran upstairs to the office to donate my 200 Federal Reserve notes. My wife and I enjoy your show on our weekly commute. It's nice to come home and discuss show topics instead of just staring mindlessly at Facebook on our iPhones." You might actually want have sex with each other or something. Just thought! Wait a minute, John, go ahead. Hello? What is his wife's name?

1:13:53 Matthew and wife put down the Facebook. Hello, experience intercourse You help us to not be that couple at crapple bees Thank you for your courage snorted We would like karma for America's newest airline and mini evacuation test this week what I don't know with L Sharpton resist we much and WTC 7 won't go away. I'm at an MJ all right of course is this we much

1:14:33 We must and we will much about that be committed. WTC 7 won't go away! You've got karma. Check out Eric P, this is John Grumling in Battlement Mesa Colorado, 200. Check out ericpetersautos.com a libertarian car guy site based on the value for value model after Eric was screwed by Google's so-called algorithm he has been running a model similar to no agenda although he does advertise products he actually uses similar to No Agenda he has inside jokes and memes that take awhile to get used too

1:15:17 And quite a few regulars who add plenty to the conversation. Remember, the more time spent with the real news, the less time you'll spend with the old crappy stuff Ed Laboutier in Hesperia, California 200. You guys are my greatest source of news analysis and humor please give the great work Sir Rocket Man is his real name sir rocket Mark Kanoff in Portland Oregon as our last associate executive producer and he says longtime boner first-time donor huh hmm another one I'll do recent comments about shortening the show finally got me to donate three hours is great

1:15:56 Three hours, five days a week would be even better. If we had a staff of 20 we still wouldn't be able to do it. Don't shorten the show and force me to fill my podcast listing with bullcrap NPR spin-off podcasts that all my friends are raving about! I want to thank all these folks for paying attention and coming in with a strong front end of the donations. The second part is just as good, and this will happen. Of course we try to eliminate up-and-down cycle like this but we don't.

1:16:32 object to it happening. I want to remind you this is Dvorak.org slash NA for the Thursday show 693. And a quick deducing for Mark since he's first time donor... You've been de-douche'd! Thank you everybody, we'll have more in our second segment coming up. Dvorak dot org slash na. And of course you can always participate in helping us out by going out there and propagating the formula Our formula is this We go out, we hit people in the mouth. By the way, I've decided that i'm going to start taking mini clips out so you don't have to produce anything when I think something should be an evergreen. That you can drop in at the drop of a hat and maybe use it for the end of the show. An example is this one which will play the longer clip but McCain Evergreen Scum Clip. Ah yeah that's a good evergreen. Get outta here you low life scum!

CHAPTER 15 / 38 Discussion

John McCain, Code Pink Protesters, Henry Kissinger Testimony

During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, Senator John McCain called Code Pink protesters "low-life scum" after they disrupted Henry Kissinger's testimony. The protesters were demanding Kissinger's arrest for war crimes. The hosts note that mainstream networks largely ignored the exchange, while outlets like Democracy Now! highlighted the irony of the situation.

john mccain· code pink· henry kissinger· senate armed services committee· democracy now

1:17:50 That was a great that was a good drop I like to go anywhere. Yeah, me I'm gonna put that especially when he's talking yeah We have and these were war protesters which made it kind of interesting these were These were the Code Pink people. This wasn't played very well on any of the networks, needless to say... But of course Amy Goodman would play this and I do have the whole clip that two incidents. The first one was when they came in and then he called them scum. And then the second one like 10 minutes later some two women come in and they demand that Kissinger who is giving testimony

1:18:27 And by the way, the testimony was just nothing. It was just and we need to do you know this crap I think that maybe we need to protect Israel. And so he uh... He was boring and but these girls liven things up but nobody else really played these clips except Democracy Now! and she was almost chuckling at the end of it because it was so ironic Do we have it here? You got Kissinger. I got a Kissinger Evergreen is what i got No, no that's a good one too by the way play that We look around the world and encounter upheaval and conflict and chaos Chaos...chaos! We look around the world and we encounter nothing but chaos It is time to kill some people

1:19:16 Alright, so I have the whole thing. I don't see it man you wrong with your clips that's seeing now that I'm wondering how this happened something went wrong Something something went horribly wrong tweet Greek saga no resisting arrests can't be it huh? There's more than one. It's a long clip so would be the longest one says would be the report on banks know oh It would be, I ran three in the youth? No. The longest one i have is deflation in Europe Yeah no yeah no okay I said yeah and no and I didn't...I don't have the clip but it's a long clip where these women come out and they bitch and moan well that's not good we don't have nothing I don't know what happened because I remember clipping it and saving it must've saved to the wrong folder or I didn't pick it up when I moved over to the gmail

CHAPTER 16 / 38 Discussion

ISIS Video Analysis, Kenji Goto, Photoshop Forensics

The hosts analyze the execution video of Japanese journalist Kenji Goto, pointing out numerous technical inconsistencies that suggest the footage was manipulated. Forensic observations include white balance issues, unnatural shadows, and a "photoshopped" appearance of the head on the body. The discussion compares these highly produced "orange jumpsuit" videos to authentic, grittier execution footage from other conflict zones.

isis· kenji goto· jihadi john· photoshop· forensics· japan

1:20:06 Well, then do you want to take a look at some more fake video from ISIS? Yeah, let's play the ISIS stuff. Okay so I have a couple things here... Let me uh.. So there is new video! New video, new video and this is now of course we have the source videos This what we are receiving and this from Brian out there The Brian The Gay Crusader And guess what? The fourth video has been the file name Same naming convention gotoo underscore DVD dot mp4 Yep it means you came right out of Final Cut Pro And, well here's the audio. It's about a minute and it's just hilarious to look at While I'm playing this i'll give you a URL to go too where you can see two things One there is the video which you can look at yourself and see

1:20:57 Just a hilarious shot of the, again they put the so-called decapitated head on the guy's back and some analysis from Brian as well. You want to go to itm.im slash gotohead G O T O H E A D And I'll play this clip in the meantime...and then all of a sudden it didn't play Well set up Curry let me try it this way Oh, of course not. It's a... I'm sorry it's black the first title card there here we go come on come on in you Jihadi John and he's got the other Japanese guy on his knees of course and ready to cut his head off and play

1:21:40 to the Japanese government. You, like your foolish allies in this satanic coalition have yet to understand that we by Allah's grace are Islamic caliphate with authority and power an entire army thirsty for your blood Because of your reckless decision to take part in an unwinnable war, this knife will not only slaughter Kenji but will also carry on and cause carnage wherever your people are found. So let the nightmare for Japan begin! And then he puts that little knife that is in his left hand and he puts it against his neck, and we fade to black. Then we fade up from black and we see again a photoshopped head on the back. A couple things are very disturbing about this video... You have a huge list of notes at this website of yours Yes I would recommend people go through it carefully It's very good

1:22:39 And I... props to Brian on that. Okay, Brian good work yeah and so what you'll see there is there's the video um and as Brian says 59 seconds pause the video look closely at the left side of the screen notice the terrain where the so-called blood has spilled by Gotohs neck very different than the surrounding terrain literally when you look at this picture just imagine his head is not chopped off it's buried underneath the ground! It could easily be that Easily. And the head again looks photoshopped on there There's huge white balance issues between shots Of course, again we don't actually see... Look at the picture John you go to the picture down below The enhance and zoom is what I called it there if you click on that Okay Then you really see how fake that head looks It's a horrible Photoshop job Just look at it! That head is not sitting on that body

1:23:38 No, it's not. In fact you can see the line of... It's out of proportion! Everything is wrong. ...it's like especially near the back under the ear that is just a crappy job Yeah and his hands are still clasped together and of course we don't see any actual beheading And then the paint splattered all over his own face Why is that? That makes no sense That looks like it was painted there by Photoshop Photoshop! Because its kind of in one plane so it's like It's like the paint over his eyelids is in the same plane as his cheek, which is actually forward. It's very obvious and then the paint on the nose is actually overpainted and it's kind of off the nose a little bit

1:24:27 Yeah, no this is photo. And not only that but the color it's just a very... and then smearing is so obviously Photoshopped and not good although you know I mean I don't consider myself an expert at moving stuff around on Photoshop but I would have spent a little more time. Chat room says that looks like was done in MS Paint Remember that? Microsoft Paint. It's possible it wasn't even done in Photoshop, but... But this is real and there are real videos of people killing people In fact there was a recent one I think it put it in the show notes somewhere And it's not ISIS although the titles oh ISIS kill some lady for adultery

1:25:11 But it's not ISIS, it's an offshoot of Al-Nusra Jabradi or whatever. They're taunting some woman on the corner and they wind up just shooting her in the back of the head That's real! You can see it Well there was a beheading of that Wall Street Journal guy... And that was real! It looked very different than all this crap Yeah no look, the real stuff is sickening When you see a real execution or beheading, its sickening and you know it Anyway, again it's the same file name convention. And we had another note from a producer in Japan that I was talking about and it is very long and it's in the show notes and that is our producer is Eiichi Kitagawa and he gives us a good rundown

CHAPTER 17 / 38 Discussion

Kenji Goto Background, Haruna Yukawa, Japanese Identity Laws

Research from a Japanese producer reveals that Kenji Goto had taken his wife's surname (Jogo) to distance himself from past financial issues, a common practice in Japan. The background of the other captive, Haruna Yukawa, is described as "delusional," citing his blog posts about being a reincarnation of a 1903 soldier. The segment questions the mainstream media's portrayal of both men as standard journalists.

kenji goto· haruna yukawa· japan· identity· nhk· syria

1:26:03 Kenji Goto, which he said actually Kenji Goto took his wife's last name Jogo for a second marriage. Hence that his real name is Kenjigoto Jogo and this is done in Japanese culture you take your wife's family name one of two reasons either your wifes side One is when your wife's side has female children only, so you change it to keep the lineage alive. Or if you were in debt filed bankruptcy and name some as on some blacklist he says Japanese system doesn't have slave identifiers like a social security number. So you can actually kind of change things and I guess get away with it. Yeah, you can get it... You can we can change your identity right? Yeah legally! And then he has all these research about

1:26:46 how he and his wife were making like $180,000 a year had a super apartment expensive area. It's nothing really concrete that really Tells you something but just take a look at the note in the show notes I think it is he makes a lot of interesting points and we have talked about the nuttiness of that one guy who says his buddy yeah, cuz the guys are psycho right and Nobody mentions that in the mainstream media. In fact. I have a the official go to Gotoh story clip the way the mainstream media will play it for you. More details now on 47-year old Kenji Gotoh, he was a freelance journalist documentary filmmaker and author He traveled to war zones and told the stories of people caught in the crossfire conflict He especially focused on the plighted children. Goto's wife said he had gone to Syria last October to help track down his fellow friend and captive Haruna Yukawa

1:27:46 who was also killed by ISIS. Godot leaves behind a wife and two very young daughters." Here's what our producer says about that very thing, he says I could find Japanese articles talking about his work in Iraq that were squashed by NHK back in 2003 so he was some form of journalist but I was not able to find any real articles from him come on man And then what was the other guy's name? Was... Zauer or whatever. Yeah, he had something on that too I went to Yukawa's blog complete right-wing delusional vomit like I was born on 1903 in my previous life and was killed in China I hope to record myself fighting on my next trip to Syria notice his URL is Yoshiko Kawashima

1:28:33 His blog's title is a direct translation. Yoshiko Kawashima means beauty who is on male dressing, so maybe that's his drag name? Question mark?" This is all very strange and... Yeah it's very strange and it's not well nobody's bothered to really look into any of this And also no one cares anymore I think they had this format of The orange jumpsuit, the Jihadi John with a knife in his left hand which believe me no Muslim would do this with his left hand. Devout like they say they are. Yeah and then also did you see his boots? Totally spick-span really nice clean. Was he trudging through the sand? I guess not. Did it get any blood on him? No blood on him nothing

CHAPTER 18 / 38 Discussion

Greek Debt Crisis, German "Blackmail" Claims, EU Bullying

The new Syriza-led government in Greece is clashing with European Union officials over bailout terms and debt forgiveness. A German official's comment calling the democratically elected Greek government a "gang" and accusing them of "blackmail" is scrutinized. The hosts argue that Germany is acting as a bully within the EU, potentially pushing the continent toward a major conflict by refusing to acknowledge the fiscal reality of debt haircuts.

greece· syriza· germany· eurozone· austerity· blackmail

1:29:27 But I haven't really even seen mainstream, besides this report that you just gave us, really talking about it at all. Well that was a local station and they were all playing the same... It'll show up in the president's thing again. You know be like well he killed another one but maybe the president already said we're so sad, so sorry? Maybe? The whole thing is fishy I ran into another thing that's kind of interesting floating around is what's going to happen now that Greece... Ah, yes. ...has got the new guy? So they have… there's a showdown coming and it has to do with the banks and I came to some kind of an interesting conclusion after I play these clips because it begins with this clip, The Greek Saga with The Kicker which leads into the other clips. Oh, The Greek Saga okay yeah

1:30:24 Meanwhile, in Athens the new leftist leaders of Greece press top European Union officials today to ease terms of the Greek bailout. But the chair of the Eurozone financial ministers warned Greece against rash decisions It is of utmost importance that Greece remains on a path of recovery This requires commitment to reform process and fiscal sustainability Taking unilateral steps or ignoring previous arrangements is not the way forward. The German government joined in the warnings, its foreign minister rejected demands to forgive rescue loans to Greece and commented quote we are difficult to blackmail I have a long second

1:31:09 The comment, we are difficult to blackmail. Yes I have the blackmail clip from him from the journal. Yeah here he is. Well the Greek government of...I hesitate to call it a government it's more gang simply makes a calculation Excuse me were they democratically elected? The people of Greece, were there monitors? Was there any dispute over the election? No. This is now a German official part of the European Union calling the democratically elected leaders of Greece a gang?! Yeah, well the Greek government I Hesitate to call it a government. It's more gang because I'm a German you see Simply makes calculus they say oh cow there are on board right now. There's our word yeah, well

1:31:59 Germany will have to pay anyway if there is a default, if Greece goes bust simply by refusing to serve the loans. Then the proportion of losses Germany would have to incur would be so massive that Germany will finally give in and refinance Greece again. This is calculus which is erroneous because other countries have made large credits to Greece as well, like France or like Italy. And these countries if they are reasonably governed which I doubt as well should now be soft- What?

1:32:38 I know. Germany is getting ready to strike people! This is him fighting words. Solidarity with Germany because it's not only for Germany to lose, it's for other big countries as well. May I remind you of the fact that the poorest country in the Eurozone, Slovakia poorer, far poorer than Greece participates in the loan to Greece in 2010. In order to help Greece survive so I as a German like to be the advocate of these countries which are forgotten in debate and incase Greece continues to behave as the country behaves they will be very bad off.

1:33:19 Well, it seems to me that a lot of people are going to take a little haircut on this deal if Greece tries to renegotiate it. Which is what they're gonna do. They're gonna have too and then this is bullcrap! This is not blackmail. This is what any company does... Blackmail is a legal term which And it's a crime. As you know, any company will have if they're not doing well they'll have bondholders and shareholders and all of the sudden they had to stay in business this time with Ziff Davis. They stay in business they offer the bond holders like 20 cents on the dollar or they go broke say here's the deal you owe you have $100,000 investment we'll give you $20,000 make that investment which is now worth $20,000

1:34:07 And you'll just sign off on that. You essentially take a haircut for, and I use the word essentially even purpose, a haircut for 80 grand but we're gonna stay in business and then we can...and you get some shares there's all kinds of deals you can do so you might be able to get your money back generally you don't but the alternatives okay were broke you get nothing and that is just the way it works and for Germany to call this blackmail when its fiscal reality is absolutely insane. And Germany- And this A hole This other a-hole who calls them gangs and doesn't have much good to say about the French government, for example. Which is another real government that does its thing. Germany is turning into...this is what I've always thought would happen with the EU. Germany's turning into a huge bully that is going to start World War III! Yeah! There you are. And I'm worried about my marriage. There's nothing this…This is real!

CHAPTER 19 / 38 Discussion

UK Bank Property Seizures, Tom Crawford Case, RT Reporting

A report from RT highlights the case of Tom Crawford, a 63-year-old UK citizen fighting eviction despite claims he paid off his mortgage in full. The bank that originally issued the loan went bust, and the government-run successor company claims only interest was paid. This story is used to illustrate a broader "anti-bank" sentiment growing across Europe as institutions prioritize property seizures over financial settlements.

tom crawford· uk· mortgages· rt· eviction· banking scandal

1:35:07 So we go on and we have another interesting story, which is this report on banks stealing property in the UK. This is a... I'm sorry can I do little Greek before you move on? This ties in. Okay, it's okay, it ties in. I'll come back to that. You can go back to the Greek thing... I'll come back to it. ...this is really more about banks than Greek. I'll come back, I'll come back. The report on banks stealing profit in the UK is a RT hit piece and I believe that most of it is bull crap but at the same time it's bringing out some this anti-bank thing that's going on for what I will show after the next clip could be based on probably

1:35:48 logic. London's chronic housing shortage will see thousands descend on the mayors office to demand a solution they say rent in the British capital have been driven to unaffordable levels elsewhere in UK communities are rallying around help others struggling to keep their homes as Anastasia Churkina reports My home is my castle, a concept on its way to becoming utopian for rising number of Brits who face being kicked out onto the streets. 63-year old Tom Crawford is fighting cancer. A law abiding citizen his entire life Tom's also fighting against the system which he says terrorizes people like him The courts are supposed be protecting people they're protecting in the banks The police are supposed to be protecting the people that their oath and they don't stand on their oath and protect

1:36:34 The banks. The grandfather of two took out a mortgage and bought a home in the 1980s for just over £40,000 He's lived here for 25 years with his wife Sue and says he has paid off the mortgage in full When the bank which provided the loan went bust another company set up by their government took it on And insisted only the interest had been paid. The price of this house wouldn't buy a decent Mercedes for one of their executives. That's how pathetic these people are, they've given up on the money now they want the properties. If they manage to get them out they'll lose everything and they paid for it! They just need someone to look after

1:37:13 evidence. That's all really." Tom is a local hero in his town, hundreds of supporters flock to his home and Carlton nodding him from the crack of dawn as he gets yet another notice that bailiffs are coming to kick him out. Would you want to be thrown out if your asked? If you knew you'd rightfully paid for it all Tom's case is largely symbolic as the issue of eviction has become all too familiar across the UK, as an increasing number of people struggle to keep their homes across the country. This- this is actually... this does pertain to what I was gonna play about Greece Okay. Can I do it? Is it okay just to step back for a second? As long as this is about banks! Well, this wasn't about banks... This was about property that was the whole point. Okay. Negotiations began properly today and the new government has three broad demands The first is to write off some of Greece's eye-watering debt The second is to reverse the austerity And the third to reverse the structural reform implemented under the bailout

1:38:15 It's this final demand that is the real sticking point. But they want to turn and rightfully so, they want to turn back this incredible fire sale where the refineries all of this stuff is going for that's really going for pennies on the dollar. Which is the same that happened when the renewfication between East and West Germany and they create these companies... We did this a long time ago. They create these

CHAPTER 20 / 38 Discussion

European Deflation, Federal Reserve Policy, Austerity Risks

The economic concept of deflation in the Eurozone is analyzed, with the hosts defending the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to print money (inflationary) over the European path of austerity (deflationary). They argue that banks prefer deflation because it makes existing debt more valuable and harder to pay off, whereas the American approach has kept the U.S. economy more stable than its European counterparts.

deflation· federal reserve· ben bernanke· austerity· inflation· euro

1:38:52 the shell companies and then they're the ones, and all the people are advising. And then they sell this shit to all their buddies. It's a bonanza is what it is that's what they're trying to stop. Here's what's interesting to me when I heard this last clip which is deflation in Europe. Okay hold on Across the Atlantic, the Eurozone reported consumer prices fell over the past 12 months. A further sign of soft demand and general economic weakness. Okay explain Alright so people have asked about this a number times when I've said well like the strong...I like the dollar going up and the euro going down and they say why isn't deflation a bad thing?

1:39:30 And I think this is what's going on everywhere, at least throughout. And I think the austerity program plays into this as opposed to what we're doing which is why I still think that Fed is a good operation because they are not out to screw the public necessarily and they are trying to keep things on an even keel in Europe They want in deflation and that's what is actually happening when you're buying real estate or stealing real estate, in the case of the guy in the UK. Or any other situation where they're stealing property. Property is different than money and the money situation which was outlined in that last thing we were starting to see a lowering of prices in Europe which is deflationary because the dollar going up in this process And they want to continue with the austerity thing even though

1:40:18 kind of understands that it's bad because Americans got through this economic downturn much better than the Europeans, because we didn't do austerity and printed money which has an inflationary effect. The banks hate that! The banks want deflation. They want free money. That means their money becomes worth more and they can buy, so it's more valuable. So if you have a loan for $100,000 and you're in a deflationary spiral that loan has to be paid off with more and more expensive money. You're paying more than 100 to pay off the damn loan. If it's inflation, you have a hundred thousand dollar loan and all of a sudden the dollar just... everything is inflation. You give the bank less money for the same amount what it was relatively

1:41:06 The Europeans and the European bankers are a bunch of A-holes, and they're the ones who are pushing for deflation so they can make out. We don't do it that way. Even though our banks would just as soon have deflation than they would do better for themselves but the Fed—and I hate to sound like I'm defending them but I am had the right idea from the beginning when Bernanke was cranking up the printing presses. And anybody who doesn't think that, the printing press is being cranked up we're buying our own debt by the way with that money it's not like it's just throwing money into the sky uh... That has kept this country on an even keel compared to this craziness in Europe and you're going to see them parity with the euro and a dollar shortly if they don't get off this and and and the Greeks and all these other

1:41:54 Economists throughout Europe know this is the case. You cannot go, you can... Austerity is going to cause a massive deflationary spiral in Europe. Is there a cycle you can point to where this has happened before? In Europe specifically? I didn't have...I'm not prepared to tell you that there's a deflation. Yes, I can find it. I don't have it in my fingers. I can find many examples of deflation taking place and the banks are all giddy when it happens because they're in driver seat once it begins. They're loving it. Austerity will trigger it. So looking at Greece's situation

CHAPTER 21 / 38 Discussion

Greece and Russia Relations, Ukraine Statement Dispute, South Stream

The new Greek government has broken ranks with the EU by renouncing a joint statement that blamed Russia for civilian deaths in Mariupol, Ukraine. This move suggests a pivot toward Moscow, with the hosts speculating that Vladimir Putin may offer financial aid to Greece in exchange for strategic influence. Other countries like Hungary, Slovakia, and Cyprus are expected to follow Greece's lead in challenging Brussels' dictates.

greece· russia· putin· ukraine· mariupol· eu council

1:42:38 I think there is a knight in shining armor who could come to their aid. Well, aren't they already coming to their aid? What do you mean? Putin? That's right! PUTIN?! He's the man... he's gonna be- Putin Russia is going to take over this island all the islands and Greece, and Cyprus. Listen to this! So there's this big fracas going on now in the European Union about this letter that was signed a signatory including Greece that said Russia is directly responsible for the 30 people who were fried in that bus that was blown up in Ukraine which is new

1:43:20 for there to be an official statement and an official letter, and the new Greek government says hold on a second we didn't sign that. What's startling though is that one day in Greece is already renouncing EU Council statements as for the point of contention it was this statement blames Russia for the killing of 30 civilians in the eastern Ukrainian city of Mariupol, which was shelled recently. Apparently, the Greeks say that they were not consulted about this, that they did not give their consent to be added as signatories to that statement. RT, though, contacted the EU Council and a spokesperson there told us while they regret Greece wasn't on board with this statement, they said that they did

1:44:07 consult the new Greek authorities, which begs the question of how Greece ended up as a signatory when it was against it. Nevertheless this is the first time apparently that an EU Council statement has been renounced after being published by an EU member state so just goes to show you that the new Greek government isn't shy about letting it be known what's its things but it also indicative of the differences between the new Greek government and the authorities, the establishment. Okay then I cut this off course is an RT report obviously you know they're going to be all pro-Russia but... Well they are also to be only country that our country there their only broadcaster that will do have any of this. So the second piece of this i thought was more interesting which other well here listen it's very difficult in the EU to be the first country to break the ranks

1:45:03 Now that this by the way some other guy. This is some professor who was saying okay? Hold on a second these guys are the first the Greek of the first to say hey screw you Europe very difficult in the Brussels the first country to break the ranks Now that the Greeks have made the move I confidently expect that the Hungarians in particular but perhaps also Slovakia and Cyprus these by the way are all Countries, they would either be a part of South Stream or other pipelines were under energy pathways into Europe We'll find it easier to Ghana courage and to say no To the dictate from Brussels you see

CHAPTER 22 / 38 Discussion

Spain's Podemos Party, Anti-Austerity Movement, Russian Influence

Spain's "Podemos" (We Can) party held a massive rally in Madrid, signaling a surge in anti-austerity sentiment similar to Greece's Syriza. The hosts discuss the historical links between Spanish leftists and Russia, suggesting that the "Yes We Can" branding might be a deliberate mockery of the Obama administration or a sign of Russian-backed destabilization within the EU.

podemos· spain· anti-austerity· pablo iglesias· russia· communism

1:45:45 I believe that the moves such as announced by the government in Athens can have momentum and that once you have the first voice countering, uh, the dictates and fait accompli from Brussels then maybe some other countries will follow suit. And voila! Did you see Spain? Over the weekend? No, but that was expected. So this is not far from Puerto del Sol now and actually there's a sea of people that stretches right into the distance here These ladies are singing Si se puede means yes we can Of course the name Podemos means We Can

1:46:25 That is interesting. All of a sudden we have a brand new anti-austerity party in Spain who went from 8% of the European vote to the majority and it's the Yes We Can Party? I love it. The Rent Too Damn High Party! So what does that mean, is this another American NGO that shilled in there and created this yes we can party? That's confusing to me. This is the Russians It probably is

1:47:22 makes more sense. And he is, hey, Vladimir have a good idea. We call it Yes we can party to fuck into Obama. Exactly and the thing is that the Spanish less so the Portuguese but the Spanish in particular and the Greeks have a long history of collaborating with the Russians since the era of Franco and since the Republican revolution that took place just before World War II which was pretty much guided by the Communist Party of Russia at the time. And I think there's old alliances are still in place so the Russians can go in there and stir up some crap in Spain because even when I was there floating around

1:48:05 I'm hanging out with Garcia and these other guys who are pretty cool guys, but one of them was literally—and I mean literally a communist. He wasn't member of the Communist Party as a communist and he's always very skeptical about everything. And the country has got lots of these people and they all knew that this was coming. I think the public in general in Spain knew that they were more or less scamming the out of all this money so they could build subways. And you can go to the...right now, the subway system in Spain is outrageous! It is fantastic and there's nobody on it. I mean if people are, I guess during rush hour but when there was one subway system under Bilbao that is beautiful. Yeah. I'll tell you what put some pictures in the news. Okay good

CHAPTER 23 / 38 Discussion

Victoria Nuland, Neoconservative Policy, "Crone" Definition

The role of U.S. officials like Victoria Nuland and John McCain in the Ukraine crisis is criticized as "neocon jerkoff" policy. A linguistic tangent explores the definition of the word "crone" to describe Nuland, with the hosts looking up the term on Dictionary.com to confirm its meaning as a "withered, witch-like old woman."

victoria nuland· neocon· ukraine· john mccain· crone· dictionary

1:48:55 But anyway, yeah. No this is good... This is fantastic! It's gonna be fun right? And if they left Russia alone with this bullcrap let them do whatever they're doing in Ukraine which has got nothing to do with anybody it's not a NATO country it's into the sphere of influence of Russia well I would had to go in there noodleman and all the Kagan's and all and Brennan and all these other guys had to go in their cane McCain and screw things up there. Screw it up! And, long story short he says not only are we in an actual Cold War. We are in a proxy war and he believes that we will see NATO moving into some of the non-NATO former Russian country or former Federation of Russian States countries to take up protectionary measures there which of course will result in the Russians

1:50:01 actually moving into places like Eastern Ukraine for real. And that and he his assertion is, that could be very bad. No everybody agrees with that thesis this is not a good thing no whose fault is it? It's well yes the the crazy Atlantis's neocon jerkoffs like Kagan and Carrie and Noodleman, and all these blowhards who just...and they you know I wonder if they sleep. We would after the show when was that we were looking at Noodleman face was that during The Last Show? It was after the show i said she's- Her face is blown up! She looks- her face is all chubbed out because she's unhappy because she knows she's evil! That but she doesn't look right

1:50:47 She was, if you look at her early pictures we've used them on cover art occasionally. She's an attractive middle-aged woman kind of cute now she looks like... The kind you see on Tinder I wouldn't know. Whatever, if you look at her now she looks like an unhappy kind of a crone. A crone? Yeah, a crone What's a crone? You should know what a crone is. No, no, I don't know what a clone is. I don't know what a crone is. Look it up! I guarantee you'll know some. Crone... C-R-O-N-E?

1:51:28 You could have just told me. No! Okay, I know some yes you're right a crone look it up yourself people A withered old woman or according to dictionary.com a withered witch-like old woman yeah operative words witch like or well this is good meaning a disagreeable woman ugly a hag

1:52:04 Crone this is a good word. Yeah, it's outstanding word kiss enough Stan This isn't the word that needs this need to be used more often this word now She's a crone what does that mean just go look it up? Don't worry about it Yeah, yeah. It's sad it's it's sad its pathetic It is in a strange way very good for the United States Everything that's going as good but we get to sell because of course who's gonna we can finally go travel to Europe at a parody We get to sell our weapons into all these prices will be down cognac on sale Okay No, it is good for us. I'm never saying that it's not...what we do on our show for people who are out there know we are pro-Americans but we're coming from a perspective of the American public and we know that these A-holes are trying to screw with us and they're out to get more money for themselves. But I do love all the children in the world

CHAPTER 24 / 38 Discussion

Iranian Youth Culture, Pro-American Sentiment, 1970s Tehran

A report on the "two Irans" highlights the divide between the aging clerical leadership and a tech-savvy, pro-Western youth population. The hosts discuss how Iranian citizens are among the most pro-American in the Middle East, noting that before the revolution, 1970s Tehran was a cosmopolitan city where women wore Western fashion. They argue that the youth of Iran and Israel would likely get along if not for their respective governments.

iran· tehran· youth culture· farsi· satellite dishes· 1970s

1:53:03 Yeah, no we do in fact. Wow he did now come on I gotta call you on that one come on he did a huge yeah No Okay stop that now ya know ya know? I have a clip I hope...I'm getting very paranoid about this now You should! What was the next it was about the oh god That's interesting I have all these clips your clip is your something's wrong deflation We did crazy no then I don't know what you want to where were you going Well, I have another missing clip that is... Ah. This is no good. Try this. Let's go to a… let me change the subject a little bit and I think it will come into play because I think it might be incorporated into different clip, okay? I'm hoping. Okay. Iranians are mentioned or here it is yeah this is the clip that the public, the people that are like us not part of the elite... I mean slaves

1:54:07 Yeah, it's normal slaves. It's a worldwide phenomenon. Play Iran 3 which is the clip that discusses...a lot of people don't realize this what you're gonna hear is not...you should know this but you might not but this talks about the youth culture in Iran they're all like the American public Today, there is a tale of two Irans. While many clerics cling to America as Iran's top enemy, many younger Iranians are looking to the West hoping that normal relations will improve their prospects for a better life The population is one of the youngest populations in large country in world

1:54:51 They're very much involved in internet, social media. They all have satellite dishes that bring in Western programming. Iran is partially democratic. Churches are allowed. Women ride on motorcycles So a lot has changed There is a yearning to be part of the world again and that clashes with the deep xenophobia of The revolutionaries your problem is not with Iranian people. The Iranian people don't hate the United States are the Iranian people Probably besides the people of Israel or the most pro-american people in the entire region But the Iranian people don't control their government Their government is controlled by a radical regime and that regime hates the United States

1:55:35 Yeah, yeah, this is something that people don't know Total fact and in fact before they were for a while there Farsi was the most used language on the internet The kids of Iran had iPhones and I don't know if they still have those, how that's working out. But if you search around for images of Iran, Tehran 1970s it was like the women there is no hijab, shibob, sheboobs everyone has got their hair down flowing sexy 70s like bell bottoms. No kidding! Stunning except for Valerie Jarrett

1:56:24 Even she has some of the you have something cute. She has the features of that You know kind of a cheekbones and oh, it was right bones are good Yeah, it's said inside that comes out yeah And there's nothing we can do about that Anyway they also mentioned they had this long report and I have some other clips from it They Had an Israeli guy who was all seeing us saying We should not even do business with these people to terrible but he also agreed that the Iranian kids or any, you know, under 30s or under 25s whatever. Yeah they're big pro-American and they love the crap that we like to make in the movies and all of this stuff." He said that Israeli youth are exactly the same. In fact, the Israeli youth and the Iranian youth probably would get along with each other which is another thing that's going on that were prevented from letting happen because of people running the place. Right well exactly so the message here is

CHAPTER 25 / 38 Discussion

Loretta Lynch Confirmation, Eric Holder Connection, Constitutional Crisis

The confirmation hearings for Attorney General nominee Loretta Lynch reveal personal ties to Eric Holder's wife, Sharon Malone, through a Harvard sorority. Professor Jonathan Turley's testimony is featured, in which he warns that the Justice Department has contributed to a "constitutional crisis" by facilitating the rise of an "uber-presidency" and the erosion of legislative authority.

loretta lynch· eric holder· sharon malone· attorney general· jonathan turley

1:57:23 Hello, children. Hello if y'all like get together and be getting interested in I don't know you know politics And you know then maybe someone who gets wants to get elected You could actually change your future not all these a-holes ruin everything for you Ruin it yeah well the security state tries to keep that in abeyance Speaking of Security State did you see any of the confirmation hearing for? the proposed candidate for attorney general to replace Eric Holder. Yes, I did! Ah... Did you get any clips? Wasn't much to get it's just like your...I actually had a clip or two from the last show. I have a couple of them. Okay well why don't you play what you got. Okay um

1:58:12 Now, there was actually someone sent a note and yes that was very good no damn good. No hold on a second. Why don't you play the note? Playing the note will be better Loretta Lynch is the name of this woman and here is the note What's first name of the guy Her, Loretta. No no the guy who sent a note. Oh I don't have it here in the shown...I have this note in the show. I didn't know if you wanted to be... Yeah but you can mention her first name. Well I do not have it here. Okay okay so the investigations of Loretta Lynch have started Obama's pick for Attorney General and here is an interesting connection. Loretta Lynch

1:58:52 started Harvard, she co-founded an African American only sorority and there was only one other girl in the sorority. So there were two in the sorority it was her and Sharon Malone that is the name of Eric Holders wife Sharon Malone. And she as the sister I'm sorry no the name of Eric Holders wife is no I don't know Sharon Malone yet she's the sister civil rights activist and leader Vivian Malone Jones. And so there's all this confirmation that this is not really an independent pick, but a longtime college friend of the current Attorney General's wife who would been... well of course this is what certainly the Republican Party would say, who has been a gatekeeper for the crimes of the Obama administration. So I have three clips here

1:59:55 that pertain to this. Now, do you have any clips of somebody asking this specific question? No. This is nepotism plain and simple. Yes The woman is connected pre-connected to Holder and the administration so this whole thing is a scam And these questions should've been asked And the Republicans didn't ask it, and the Republicans have. No, they're morons! They're not morons, they know this! And they want to use it. They are all part of the same scam! There's gambling going on there I can feel it This is George Washington University Professor Turley, and very interesting how a lot of people who testified at this hearing didn't really talk about... I found it disappointing quite honestly. But they didn't talk about the candidate but really about the crimes of the Department of Justice under Eric Holder and for this professor who i think is democrat

2:00:55 to talk this way was impressive to me. I want to begin by saying, I have great respect for Ms Lynch as i've said before her extraordinary career is a prosecutor pays great credit to her and to her nomination indeed if confirmed and I hope she is uh... I believe that she could be truly great attorney general If great leaders are shaped at great moments in history this could be such a moment for Loretta Lynch The Justice Department is at the epicenter of a constitutional crisis, a crisis that consumed her predecessor and his department.

2:01:31 As my academic writings indicate, I've been concerned about the erosion of lines of separation of powers for many years and particularly the erosion of legislative authority. Of this body and of the House of Representatives That concern has grown to alarm in the last few years under President Obama someone that i voted for Someone with whom I happen to agree on many issues including some of the issues involved In these controversies We are watching a fundamental change in our constitutional system. It's changing in the very way that the framers warned us to avoid The Justice Department has played a central and troubling role in those changes In my view, Attorney General Holder has moved his department outside of the navigational beacons Of the first and second articles of our constitution

2:02:23 In that sense, Ms. Lynch could be inheriting a department that is floundering. The question is whether she can or will tap back to calmer constitutional waters and any person who claims they can get the job done alone is giving the very sirens call that the framers warned us against and one that I hope this body resists. In my testimony, I've laid out examples of how this change is occurring. I've divided it between obstruction of legislative authority and the usurpation of legislative authority The American people in my view have been poorly served in recent years by the Justice Department The balance that has been sought in recent years uh... has been lost

CHAPTER 26 / 38 Discussion

Executive Privilege, Sharon Malone, Fast and Furious Emails

Documents obtained by Judicial Watch reveal that the Obama administration claimed executive privilege to withhold emails between Eric Holder and his wife, Sharon Malone, regarding the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal. The hosts argue that this use of privilege for a spouse is unprecedented and suggests a massive cover-up of the department's activities.

executive privilege· sharon malone· eric holder· fast and furious· judicial watch

2:03:08 Precisely as the framers have feared, the rise of a dominant executive within our system. A type of uber-presidency." Yeah! Yeah, The King... Not that anyone understood what he said, of course, too busy waiting for the Super Bowl Super Bowl. Super Bowl! However... Interesting little tidbit about Sharon Malone, who is indeed married to Eric Kohler. Very Harvardian looking woman, very stern. Not unattractive but stern Documents obtained from the government watchdog on the Fast and Furious debacle, Fast and Furious. This was in October just a couple months ago revealed that feds have gone to such lengths to maintain... And we've talked about fast and furious because we had the indictment of one of the cartels, the Sinaloa guys, Chicago. And he said their whole thing was set up by the US government so the Sinaloas

2:04:05 This old stuff on our show. Have we killed him yet? Have we have we killed that guy yet because this is easy gotta go I don't know they said they threw me They probably just let him go He says the government fast and furious debacle revealed the feds have gone to such lengths to maintain privacy on The gun running program that even Eric Holder's wife This is Sharon, has been granted executive privilege status. What? Yes! Wow. Judicial Watch found that the email correspondence between Mr. Holder and his wife Sharon and between Mr. Holder and his mother are being withheld under an extraordinary claim of executive privilege as well as a dubious claim of deliberative process privilege under the Freedom of Information Act."

2:04:50 Wow, so you're telling me that Eric Holder wrote to his mom. Hey mom hey mom how about pretty good huh? We got those weapons in What is it what and what is the executive privilege now that's that's disgusting well Well, what happens you don't probably I think he probably exchanged something important with his wife. Yeah What do you do in the situation where you're trying to do a complete cover-up? You can't take a chance on Something something being out there right showing up and discovery that now you can go off on you know So well then there's what happened after you know because you start going after other people So, you cut them off because this is a massive scandal that just won't...this is like Benghazi. It's a massive, based on our thesis, a massive scandal of epic proportions and everything all this cover-up that's going on around it makes it apparent that there's a massive scandal and the fact the public isn't up in arms about this

CHAPTER 27 / 38 Discussion

Sharyl Attkisson Testimony, Media Intimidation, C-SPAN Punishment

Former CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson testified about the White House's "frenzied campaign" to chill her reporting on Fast and Furious. She detailed how officials cussed her out, handpicked reporters for briefings, and even punished C-SPAN for airing an embarrassing interview with the President. Her testimony is supported by quotes from editors at the New York Times and Washington Post who call the Obama administration the most "control freak" in history.

sharyl attkisson· cbs news· fast and furious· c-span· white house· press freedom

2:05:41 and asking for impeachment shows you that the Republicans are right in on this anyway. And of course, it's a case with these hearings. You think somebody or in hatch? I heard him yacking at her. Are you Eric Holder? Oh no, I'm not Eric Holder. I'm going to be different. Nobody brings up this connection between the wives. That is well moving on Cheryl Atkinson. Or corruption? Yeah, well Cheryl Atkinson now we know she is the CBS news reporter who left CBS to then go work for the Heritage Foundation which was disappointing because she basically went to go work for a Republican funded outfit so she lost credibility with me and then she had this I was hacked and it looked like a stuck delete key not good for her

2:06:28 But I appreciated what she said and she took a different angle, and i'm sure the Republicans had her come in and talk about this. About the Obama administration's transparency in general, The most transparent administration in history as is oft repeated by the administration itself And she had a long testimony just picked out two minutes of it. The job of getting at the truth has never been more difficult Facets of federal government have isolated themselves from the public they serve They covet and withhold public information that we as citizens own. They bully and threaten access of journalists who do their jobs, news organizations that publish stories they don't like, and whistleblowers who dare to tell the truth."

2:07:11 When I reported on factual contradictions in the administration's accounts regarding Fast and Furious, Pushback included a frenzied campaign with White House officials trying to chill the reporting by calling and emailing my superiors and colleagues using surrogate bloggers to advance false claims. Mm-hmm techno experts One White House official got so mad he angrily cussed me out The Justice Department used its authority... Now that's an outrage! I don't have none of that cussing out. ...over building security to handpick reporters allowed to attend a Fast and Furious briefing, refusing to clear me into the public justice department building

2:07:51 Advocates had to file a lawsuit to obtain public information about Fast and Furious improperly withheld under executive privilege. Documents recently released show emails in which taxpayer-paid White House and Justice Department press officials complained that I was out of control and vowed to call my bosses to try to stop my reporting. Let me emphasize that my reporting was factually indisputable, government officials weren't angry because i was doing my job poorly they were panicked because i was doing my job well Many journalists have provided their own accounts. The White House made good on its threat to punish C-SPAN after C-SPAN dared to defy... I hadn't heard this, by the way! I didn't know that C-SPAN never gets punished for anything! All they do is just play with what the guys say! After C-SPAN dared to defy a White House demand to delay airing of potentially embarrassing interview with the president. I don't remember exactly what that was but who you call if you want to get mad at C-SPAN?

2:08:51 Do they have a receptionist even? I don't know. 50 news organizations including CBS and the Washington Post wrote the White House objecting to unprecedented restrictions on the press that raise constitutional concerns A New York Times photographer likened the White House practices in some cases, to the Soviet News Agency tasks Former Washington Post executive editor Len Downey called the Obama war on leaks by far the most aggressive he's seen since Nixon David Sanger of the New York Times called this the most closed, control freak administration he's ever covered. New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan said it is the administration of unprecedented secrecy and unprecedented attacks on a free press. There you go! Well thank you Cheryl That's because they're...they're Free Press The press would discover what incompetent boneheads

2:09:43 are running this operation. Valerie Jarrett, what is she...what's she got going? Was Susan Rice that little twerp?" There you go again with the twerp! Yeah. This mouse. And I actually do have a clip of Lynch speaking. She's...oh, I already don't like her. Is she from Chicago as well by any chance? She must be from Chicago I can look where you're... Yeah, all these people are from Chicago. So this is about... No they're all from Chicago. They were very careful about that. Gangs. This is the gang right here. So this is Sessions he's Republican.

CHAPTER 28 / 38 Discussion

Jeff Sessions, Loretta Lynch, Immigration Law Enforcement

Senator Jeff Sessions questioned Loretta Lynch on whether illegal immigrants have the same right to work as U.S. citizens. Lynch's responses, which emphasized a "legal framework" and the "obligation to work," are criticized by the hosts as evasive "lawyer-speak." They argue that her refusal to give straight answers on the enforcement of existing immigration laws makes her a continuation of Eric Holder's policies.

jeff sessions· loretta lynch· immigration· right to work· legal framework

2:10:22 And he's talking to Lynch about the right to work, about immigration. And by the way I want to mention that I like Jeff Sessions and what his line of questioning in most of these things Yeah, he is pretty good at this Who has more rights to a job in this country? A lawful immigrant who is here, a green card holder or citizen Or person who entered the country unlawfully Well, Senator I believe that the right and the obligation to work is one that's shared by everyone in this country regardless of how they came here. And certainly if someone is here regardless of status, I would prefer them participating in the workplace than not. Wow! This is... for someone who has went through such hardship and annoyance and financial

2:11:08 deprivation to achieve a legal status for a spouse. Fuck that! No, it's the... you know make it easier whatever you need to do some, you know if you want to be legal in America $5,000 per person that's just what it costs is what its gonna cost you to do it? That's just the regular fees and ever since Department of Homeland Security took over this mess Which is now it's a mess. It's not broken, it's intended to... The whole idea was we can't have terrorists coming into America therefore we're going to make an incredibly hard and have all these hurdles to jump over and hoops to jump through and fees to pay lawyers to hire And then you could maybe if you're lucky become legal to work here

2:11:55 That's not what happened to bring your huddle masses to Ellis Island and all that. No, we have 300,000 people in the Department of Homeland Security who are their entire job is to make it difficult for you. Difficult! It's just stupid and he or she as well so you should work yeah Let's just make the system work, lady. Don't give me this... She should be a lawyer, she'd be talking to the Attorney General, she'll be talking only about law and she should not be saying I feel, I think This is just more Holder stuff! Regardless of what she feels or thinks whether I agree with it you agree anyone agrees with it Shes supposed to maintain the law in the Constitution The CONSTITUTION! Participating In The Workplace With Respect To Well um... Nah nah that was

2:12:43 So you think that a person is anybody that's here lawfully or unlawfully is entitled to work in America? Well, Senator I'm not sure if I know the if I understand the basis for your question. Don't you hate it when they do whether or not there's a legal basis for them to work or not No, no! I ask you who had we talking about rights? Can I stop this for a second? Of course of course So, one of the things I learned from the impeachment of Richard Nixon was that lawyers...John Dean was the master this. And I'm telling people this so they can maybe use this information if they're in a court case or something like that. Hold on a second. That's important? This is new information? If you...somebody asks you a simple question, is this blue or green and then hold it up and

2:13:40 I'm not absolutely sure what you mean by this. Well, she just did. Yeah that's exactly... I'm not sure what you mean by that question. That question i didn't fully understand. I didn't know what you meant by this question. I'm not sure I know what you're asking me. Those types of initial answers give you privilege in case there's a second trial or some perjury thing. You said this blue thing was green and then you read back the testimony, say no I never said that! I said it was green after i said I'm not sure what you mean by that and I didn't know they wanted me to answer that it was blue because it was blue." This uh... In Europe they say, wir haben es nicht gewusst which is what the Nazis said we didn't know

2:14:28 Yeah. That's exactly what it is. And so when you hear the appointee for the attorney general using this trick... Disqualification as far as I'm concerned? Yeah! Disqualified?! The question was simple and she says she couldn't fully grasp it, give me a break. Is she that stupid? Yeah, she's that smart. That's the problem. That's the problem. Rights. Does a lawful American immigrant or citizen have the right to have the laws of United States enforced so that they might be able to work? Or does a person who came here unlawfully, have a right to demand a job. Certainly the benefits of citizenship confer greater rights on those of us who are citizens and those than those who are not You think?! Well...

2:15:19 Do you think a person that's here unlawfully is entitled to work in the United States when the law says that employers can't hire somebody unlawfully in America? This is a pretty straight answer she should be giving. I believe... Go ahead, go ahead I think that certainly the provision that you refer to regarding to the role of the employer in ensuring the legal status of those who are here is an important one and we have to look at it in conjunction with this issue, uh... in terms of preventing undocumented workers who as you indicated before are seeking employment again We want everyone to seek employment, but we have in place at this point in time a legal framework No there it is or requires employers. Yes to both provide information about citizenship as well as not hire individuals That's a legal framework John the units all over when that do when they bring that up Legal framework what does that even mean?

CHAPTER 29 / 38 Discussion

Michael Hayden, Fourth Amendment, Totality of Circumstances

Former NSA and CIA Director Michael Hayden defended mass surveillance by redefining the Fourth Amendment's protection against "unreasonable" searches. Hayden argued that "reasonableness" is a product of the "totality of circumstances in which we find ourselves in history," specifically citing the post-9/11 environment. The hosts dissect this definition, arguing it is a legal maneuver designed to justify unconstitutional spying and avoid future prosecution.

michael hayden· nsa· cia· fourth amendment· search and seizure· privacy

2:16:19 Just a term you throw in. Well, before we take a break let me play another A-hole who was changing the Constitution although I will say he has an interesting angle this is Hayden Michael Hayden Former head of the NSA former head of the CIA and former... The guy during that torture era was all in And he did a keynote, which it's like an hour. It's pretty interesting to watch because he just listened to how he is now trying to justify the Fourth Amendment with spying on the American people. He has an actual justification for doing that. I mean for our purposes it's about unreasonable search and seizure

2:17:14 What constitutes reasonableness when it comes to the sovereign authority, gathering data or information or things? Apparently gathering data is now sovereign authority. Did you hear what he just said? Do you hear where he's going with this? Yeah! He's doing everything he can to stay out of jail. But the Fourth Amendment indeed protects the citizens of the United States against reasonable What is the exact text John I want to make sure it's unreasonably protection against unreasonable. I believe but let's take a look Let's take a look because he can't trust that thingy says yeah, and okay amendments fourth amendment And I just want to get it exactly right because that isn't what you need to do in this case is oh? Yeah, I don't have an app for that

2:18:07 It's not on my phone. The right of people to be secure in their persons, houses papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause supported by oath or affirmation and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized so we are protected against unreasonable searches and seizures." And he is taking an interesting tact by talking about what is reasonable And you can argue what is reasonable or what is unreasonable. I find that's a conversation we should have in this country. What constitutes reasonableness when it comes to the sovereign authority gathering data or information, or things from the citizens of the republic that form us? We go back and forth even today... I was struck was the word I was going to use but I think the right word is stunned

2:19:05 After the Boston Marathon thing, later learned that Tsarnaev were surfing jihadist websites. You know a significant fraction of our population and you know and not all of them wearing tinfoil on their heads... Oh I'm sorry hold on let me just take my hat off you dickhead! This guy's rude! A significant fraction of our population says why weren't you tracking those guys on the web? As if it was a good idea for the nation's security services to be aware of what permanent legal residents and United States citizens were actually doing when they were doing web surfing. So we- Hold on a second, how would they even know any of this if they weren't tracking him on the web?

2:19:55 Well, they have something. They tracked something! They got some information... These guys are searching and scrounging through jihadist websites. They haven't been to trial? No, neither one of those two has come out and said that. One of them's dead because a cop ran over him or somebody crushed his head the other guy was beaten up and couldn't talk So how did they know this if they weren't tracking them?! Well it's probably because he was there when they talked to the guy whose head they blew off Whatever. ...we're actually doing when they were doing web surfing, so we kind of go back and forth... Yeah kinda How do we decide that? That what constitutes reasonableness is actually a product of the totality of circumstances in which we find ourselves in history Okay stop Wow He just gave a definition that needs to be challenged I feel

2:20:51 That's a good one. That's borderline clip of the day. Let me back that up for second because what he just had to write this down, only crap and maybe a show title in there actually let's try it again and see what he said. Actually a product of the totality of circumstances A product? of the totality... what did he say? Totality of circumstance. Totality of circumstances. Circumstances in which we find ourselves in history In which, in which we find ourselves in history Okay now

2:21:31 Man, that is good. That is good. So I'm looking at unreasonable because the Constitution doesn't speak of reasonable... You know if he was imprisoned where he actually belongs He could have a lot of time to write some pretty cool stuff with his friend Bubba Okay, let's see. Reasonable... Let's just look at reasonable according to the official dictionaries. Just proper suitable ordinary fair usual. The term reasonable is a generic and relative one applies to that which is appropriate for a particular situation I don't see anything well in the law oh hold on a second in the law of negligence

2:22:11 I guess, um...I'm not a lawyer. The reasonable person standard is the standard of care that a reasonably prudent person would observe under a given set of circumstances an individual who subscribes to such standards can avoid liability for negligence similarly a reasonable act is that which might fairly and properly be required of it so this says nothing about well circumstances is mentioned in the law of negligence and what is reasonable but being a product of the totality circumstance in which we find ourselves in history is an interesting take. But circumstances IS the key word here, so let's continue to see what he winds up with. In other words... In other words? You know this is fact! FACT! And I viewed his reasonableness on the morning of September 10th There we go

CHAPTER 30 / 38 Discussion

Michael Hayden, 9/11 Justification, Torture Defense

Michael Hayden's career as a "government bureaucrat" is examined, including his background as an equipment handler for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The hosts mock his assertion that the death of "3,000 countrymen" (a number they dispute) gave him the authority to bypass Congress and the President to initiate new surveillance and torture programs. They conclude that Hayden's public appearances are a desperate attempt to keep himself out of prison.

michael hayden· 9/11· torture· waterboarding· air force· pittsburgh

2:23:03 I viewed in a very different light on the afternoon of September 11th at the National Security Agency, and actually started to do different things. And I didn't need to ask Mother May I from Congress or President or anyone else it was within my charter but in terms of mature judgment what's reasonable and what is not reasonable okay? The death of 3000 countrymen kind of tilted me into direction over here perfectly within my authorities. By the way, there's another one of these memes that annoys me. I think it was like 2000 of the people that were from different countries? Yeah they were from different countries i think was maybe less than a thousand countrymen got killed and this is like the other thing im always yeah you're moaning about it because its true just keep lying keep lying keep lying and this guy obviously everything he does for one purpose only to keep himself out of prison

2:23:52 And now he's going to... He wants you, seriously. Yeah! He's worried sick that I mean it is showing on his face and he will make the argument that it was reasonable because here's where he really had it It was reasonable at the time to torture people Based on the circumstances based on this and that Where we find ourselves in history. Border boarding was okay at the moment But you could take this so far and say, okay I was speeding officer. It was reasonable at the time given the circumstances. These lawyers... You can't have the public using these arguments Is he a lawyer too Michael Hayden? I don't think so He's probably become one recently but i don't think so Let me see if he is a lawyer

2:24:47 Assholes. Well, besides that he wears a lot of badges and he's never been as far as I know ever been in combat or anything actually in the field He is a bureaucrat government bureaucrat Yeah well you know he was forced sergeant in the Air Force Right So what does he do in the Air Force let me see... He was born on St Patrick's Day No! In Pittsburgh Ah there ya go thats why I don't like him One of Hayden's first jobs was an equipment handler for the Steelers. Really? This is interesting! Well, that's according to the Book of Knowledge." I'm sure it's true they don't lie in a book and yeah he's just a career douche

2:25:33 Yeah, he's a career guy. He just worked his way up because well-spoken sounds smart probably one of the smartest guys in the room when it comes to little arguments yeah Just kicks everyone's ass so I'll Everyone should there's a link in the show notes Of course everyone should definitely take a look at that entire keynote It's it's mind boggling its mind boggling how this guy thinks and the brazen just the brashness of how he Howie? Yeah, how was trying to say out of jail but heap is These people believe this stuff and they believe that the... Oh, no. He's dead serious. ...constitution is just to be skirted around and by the way I agree the word reason or unreasonable? I have to look at this there's gotta be a case law there has to be Supreme Court

2:26:15 Well, there's a lot of case law that allows cops to kick in the door if they say, oh someone is screaming. I thought I heard someone screaming and that's you know... But what he is saying it reasonable to spy on people because the next day there was an attack with 9-11? So he's saying future events make it reasonable to do something now. That's what he's saying. Yeah, screw that guy! Well... onward. I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah that'd be fab NO AGENDA

CHAPTER 31 / 38 Discussion

Donor Roll, International Support, Ruble Devaluation

The second donor segment includes a wide range of international contributions, including a Russian listener in Brooklyn who adjusts her donation based on the ruble's exchange rate against the dollar. An Indian listener provides insight into why podcasts are not yet popular in India, citing a lack of subtitles and a cultural "thick skin" against donating money. The hosts thank hundreds of donors from the US, UK, Canada, and Mexico.

2:27:00 We had a lot of support this week and I want to thank every one of them. But before we do that, I have to go back to show 688 where...I don't know how it happened but i'm reading the thank yous and the top of the list is Richard Tureo in Colorado Springs, Colorado gave us $167.38 and I just went straight to the next guy Craig Covell! And I missed him Oh, on 688 you mean? Yes. Okay well... And he tried to get a hold of me to tell me this and then said it was missing didn't work but he finally did okay and so I'll read what he had to say on 688 why don't we sign up for the newsletter until we donate why don't we sign up for the newsletter until we donate question it's the value-for-value model listening to the show without donating is one thing but adding the newsletter just didn't feel right

2:27:54 So, what he said and I guess the point he wanted to make was that...I'm always bitching about people not signing up for the newsletter because there's stuff in there that we never talk about. It's kind of interesting and he says a lot of people don't do it because they don't feel its right but I was complaining about people who donate then never get on the newsletter until I pull it off the donate list. This 16793 combined with my previous donations brings me to one third a night Thanks for all you do Richard in Colorado Springs.

CHAPTER 33 / 38 Discussion

Idaho House Bill 2, Gender Identity Legislation, Discrimination Law

A discussion of Idaho's failed "Add the Words" bill (House Bill 2) explores the legal complexities of adding "gender identity" and "sexual orientation" to state human rights acts. The hosts argue that the definitions are too broad and could lead to frivolous lawsuits based on "self-identification." They cite the example of Conchita Wurst to illustrate the potential confusion in workplace discrimination cases.

idaho· house bill 2· gender identity· sexual orientation· lgbt· discrimination

2:47:52 The add the words bill which had you heard of this? No. The add the words bill they're trying to do something there in Idaho on a state level that failed at a federal level House Bill 2 updates the Idaho Human Rights Act to add that gender identity and sexual orientation cannot be used to discriminate in the areas of employment, education and public accommodation So this is, I find this very interesting because of course in my heart and in my soul. Of course you shouldn't be able to discriminate based upon sexual orientation but the problem with this type of legislation and it failed by the way did not pass

2:48:32 People were crying and it was just, whoa. Very upset about this or actually not that it passed, It didn't come out of committee they're gonna keep it in committee which means it won't happen this legislative session I can that's kind of the deal there to add those four words There's NGOs behind... Give me the four words again. Let's write them down here, there we go. House Bill 2 updates the Idaho Human Rights Act to add that gender identity and sexual orientation cannot be used to discriminate in the areas of employment. Gender identity and sexual orientation So the problem with this is the definition of what this is And by the way whenever they talk about gender identity or sexual orientation I only hear LGBT

2:49:16 Which is unfair by itself because it should be LGBTQQIAAP to include all the types of gender identity. So you can't have one without the other, you can say oh it's only for LGBT when there are people who are bi-curious, there're people who are queer and questioning, there're people who are asexual pansexual... You know so that is the problem if you get fired and then you say well thats because I'm pansexual In this case, that legislation wouldn't work. But if you say it's because I identify as gay...so this is where it gets complicated when you have to like have an ID card that says you're gay or is all good? You can't prove this after the fact. This is very complicated." Well there's also kind of mysterious situation with self-identification

2:50:04 I'm still baffled by the self-identifiers. The guy with a beard and... Oh, you mean Conchita Wurst? Yeah! Good example of that guy. Conchita Horst is his name. Worst. Worst. Conchita Wurst. Yeah so everything about me is a man, genetically male but I am self identifying as a woman. You fired me because I insist on everyone calling me she Because I personally prefer being called she because i've self-identified as a woman and that and now you're firing me because i'm making everyone laugh at the company or whatever reason. And then, I could sue you right? I think it's a problem yeah! I wouldn't know the only way to do it...I guess if you wanted to. So there must be um there must be age i'm sure is already in their age race religion

2:51:03 Those are already in the human rights, because that's what it is. It's a human rights thing which also... The whole thing is very complicated and but I think people are so...I have this couple of people who at one point they became friends with me on Facebook and I keep following them only to see how some people respond to this type of news without really thinking about it. An example is this, uh, Republicans in Idaho they hate the gays! No it's not quite that simple. It's not quite that simple. Get all these people out there who hate the gays! No it's-it's... Not exactly you have to be very careful with these things

2:51:46 when it comes down to law because you can get into a position where anything you do is, hey man I'm gay and you screwed me on this and i'm suing you. But your married with three kids! Yeah...I don't know how this would work out. I really don't but the response is what's interesting to me they have their protestors hand over the mouth like this put it so that because they're being stifled Surely there must be someone who's a smart lawyer who can figure out a better way to make this happen. Other than I think we have... John, help me here! How can you do something with this? You can't right? No, I don't see it. Unless you have because you know what race you are

CHAPTER 34 / 38 Discussion

Airport ID Requirements, Civil Rights, Self-Identification

The conversation shifts to the erosion of privacy through mandatory ID cards, comparing modern airport security to South African apartheid-era "pass laws." An anecdote is shared about a civil rights activist who refuses to show ID at airports as a matter of principle. The hosts lament that most people have entered "slave mode" and simply comply with TSA demands to avoid inconvenience.

2:52:38 I think you might have just kind of stumbled on something that may well happen. Yeah, but you have to identify it! A sexual identity card? Yeah yeah yeah You had to sign up for it... I recommend Show it and this is the we have this identification card problem in this country. I remember when I was a kid It was I specifically remember it in the fifth grade where they're excoriating the South Africans are horrible apartheid South African And they make you carry ID cards to go anywhere. Well, what is that? What's happened here? You never used to need... In fact there was one guy I can't remember his name he was very famous civil rights computer hacker guy

2:53:19 I have a guy, somebody in the chat room might remember this guy. He refuses that you show ID at the airport! Right because technically you don't have to... You can fly... Technically you don't have to but they still demand it and he gets into beefs at the airport makes a big scene when he shows up at the airport because he's one of the few people in the world actually stands up for his rights yeah I won't bother screw it I just show my driver's license going on the plane but I shouldn't have to show it. And I shouldn't show it if, you know, had more gumption and I wouldn't but don't have time. Yeah ultimately you go into slave mode now all right here is... I'll just be a slave for now so if we can have

2:54:01 Gender... Well also, by the same token I would like to say it shouldn't just be LGBT because what if i'm working somewhere and there's a bunch of Ls who don't like me? Because im a straight guy. And they say, well you're fired. Should I then be able to say... Or the Department of Homeland Security by the way that could actually happen or have happened with a lot of the... Yeah there was a lot of harassment suits. We've had plenty documentation for that. Crazy stuff going on there so do you have the same right? You know it's just... I recommend Yellow Star on the clothing

CHAPTER 35 / 38 Discussion

Robert Mugabe, African Union Chair, Racial Comments

Robert Mugabe was recently elected as the chair of the African Union (AU), sparking controversy over leaked comments where he reportedly stated that "a good white man is a dead one." The hosts question how a known "racist pig" could be chosen to lead an organization meant to modernize the continent, suggesting that money and power dynamics within the AU are to blame.

robert mugabe· african union· zimbabwe· racism· south africa

2:54:43 That's my go-to. It worked so well in the past! It has worked very well. Here is a piece of news that I didn't know happened, but did you know... Play the Robert Mugabe clip because it is interesting for two dimensions. And the summit ended with some controversy, Katarina. Comments made by the Union's new chief, Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe. Tell us about that? Yeah, these were comments made by the new AU chair Robert Mugabe. We must say they were behind closed doors and we learnt of these comments through sources within the summit room. He quoted the former Ghanaian president Kwame Nkrumah saying that a good white man is a dead one

2:55:27 Now, of course the election of Robert Mugabe to the chair of the AU did raise some eyebrows amongst observers who said that this perhaps wasn't the way to best showcase an African Union that was modern and championed democracy. I must repeat those were comments behind closed doors and we're yet to really hear any more reaction from them All right, a couple of things. Robert Mugabe is a racist pig and he's always...he has been an asshole forever. And yeah the dead white man thing no one will really pick up on that because no one pays attention to anything. How did this guy become the head of the African Union? What is wrong with these people? Most money! It's gotta be the most money how all these things always work The most money comes out of South Africa Yeah well

CHAPTER 36 / 38 Discussion

Project Levitation, CSEC Surveillance, Edward Snowden

New documents leaked by Edward Snowden reveal "Project Levitation," a Canadian surveillance program that monitors 102 internet file-sharing sites. The program sifts through 10 to 15 million uploads and downloads daily, ostensibly looking for extremist propaganda. Critics argue this acts as a "digital x-ray machine" over the entire internet, capturing the data of journalists, lawyers, and ordinary citizens without founded suspicion.

2:56:16 That's not where Mugabe is. No, I know Zimbabwe...I don't know! All right. Well, it's just keep your eye on the African Union was said this is supposed to be the leadership organization that's going to modernize help modernize Africa wasn't wasn't this? Wasn't this the one that Gaddafi was really pushing and leading? Wasn't that what he was? And he also wanted the gold African dinar I thought that African Union was his baby somehow. It could be. We'll have to look into that. Not to look into it. Yeah not to look into it. I'm just aghast Okay, as we move down the home stretch here I will give you two more. One is about CSE this is the Canadian spy outfit? Yeah A lot of news there about the what's it the levitation program This is new and by the way...I have to just say

2:57:18 Edward Snowden, at this point... This guy is a trained actor. I don't know if he started out that way but I always start- I got very uncomfortable when i started hearing him talk policy and these doing shows up at all these conferences and he talks policy like a policy guy not like a dude named Ben not like a systems administrator and he continues to then put on... Yeah, he mouths policy scripts. Yes! And then he puts on his glasses with the broken nose guard, the missing nose guard which he does not wear when he's out and about in Russia we have plenty of evidence of that it's brand Snowden and I'm really not buying him anymore other than you're done with Snowden yeah but he has new documents and then they get passed onto

2:58:09 Yeah, what's his name? How does he get new documents because I thought he handed all the documents over to the newspapers. Well, I should restate that somehow he works in cahoots with Applebaum and Poitras and then they write it up for Bilt or Whatever. Der Spiegel, der Spiegel. Der Spiegel that's right and then the journalist and they write that up And anyway here's a report about The latest revelations based on documents from Snowden at some point somewhere somehow who knows called Project Levitation And according to these new documents Canada is watching 102 of the world's internet file sharing sites The kind used to share things like music movies and photos

2:58:53 Canada is sifting through 10 to 15 million uploads and downloads every day, looking for extremists accessing propaganda videos instructions on how to build a bomb. This surveillance expert reviewed the documents for CBC Canadians need to understand and have a debate about the extent which it's okay for their government to be watching everything they do Is it okay in in the pursuit of radical extremists and defending Canadians from possible harm, that the government sets up a giant digital x-ray machine over everything that we do. Just visualize that for a moment! The giant digital X-Ray Machine

2:59:35 Because that's effectively where we're headed right now. He sells these stories. He goes to whatever local paper or news outfit says, OK here's this thing let's put it together and do a story and then they pay him. Conducting mass surveillance... You could be finding a terrorist although probably much more likely you're finding a scientist or journalist A podcaster Or a lawyer working on a case relating to some of those issues or a student who is interested in those issues are citizen who is reading about them so you subject huge numbers people

CHAPTER 37 / 38 Discussion

House of Lords, WhatsApp and Snapchat Ban, Encryption

In the UK House of Lords, former Defense Secretary Tom King admitted he is "not a tweeter" while calling for a ban on encrypted messaging apps like WhatsApp and Snapchat. King argued that these systems are used by ISIS to coordinate attacks and that the government must protect "freedom" by eliminating secure communication channels. The hosts mock the technical ignorance of the officials making these policy demands.

house of lords· whatsapp· snapchat· encryption· david cameron· uk

3:00:26 kinds of very invasive surveillance based upon suspicion that is completely unfounded. CSEC says it's all within their legal mandate to find foreign terrorists the agency says it's not targeting Canadians and if a Canadian citizen is incidentally caught up in this surveillance they have measures in place to protect their privacy oh yes, oh yes, oh of course! Yes sure there is so as we know Tony, uh Cameron called for elimination of all safe ways for terrorists and jihadists to communicate securely on the internet. We do not want that to be possible and this is now propagating we have former Defense Secretary Tom King who is I would say he's a probably in the House of Lords

3:01:14 And so this is who was, I guess to some degree representing the people of Gitmo Nation East. The United Kingdoms listen to the fabulous knowledge that this man has of the internet and applications, but which one should totally be banned because the jihadists are using them? I'm not a tweeter. But we've got Facebook... I'm sorry he says i'm not a tweeter just want you to know that this is how he starts off in The House Of Lords! I am NOT a tweeter but we've got Facebook We've got Twitter Somebody tried to explain what WhatsApp is somebody else tried to explain me about Snapchat

3:01:56 But my lord, I don't know about them. But what is absolutely clear is that terrorists and jihadists do. The understanding here's actually that ISIL and part of their amazing advance across Syria and into Iraq... Amazing! ...that their communications were so good in the way they kept together was entirely due to one or other of the last two systems which I've mentioned which they handled with great intelligence. Oh yes, the geniuses Intelligence work takes place within a strong legal framework. We operate under the rule and are accountable for it In some countries, secret intelligence is used to control their people. In ours it only exists to protect their freedoms. Protect their freedoms. Protect their freedoms. Protect their free- There you go Just... It's only here to protect your freedom So we will have to get rid of Snapchat and Whatsapp Whatsapp Wow Not much we can do about that Alrighty Uh well
