About this episode

Mokhtar Belmokhtar and the Al-Murabitun group claim responsibility for the Radisson Blu hotel attack in Bamako, Mali, as French and Libyan authorities investigate the resurgence of Al-Qaeda affiliates in the region. Author Nick Turse reports that US military involvement now spans 90 percent of African nations, despite US-trained officers leading recent coups in Mali and Burkina Faso. The episode analyzes the sophisticated media wing of the Islamic State, which FBI Director Jim Comey warns is successfully radicalizing Americans through high-production propaganda.

King Abdullah II of Jordan describes the conflict as a Third World War by other means, while UN climate chief Christiana Figueres admits at Davos that climate policy aims to transform the global economic development model away from capitalism. In the United States, Princeton University students demand the removal of Woodrow Wilson's name from campus buildings, and Yale University replaces the title of Master for dormitory heads. Meanwhile, the Fethullah Gulen movement faces scrutiny over allegations of recycling US charter school salaries into political campaign donations for candidates like Senator Kelly Ayotte.

John C. Dvorak shares a specialized Thanksgiving yam recipe involving bourbon, maple syrup, and heat-resistant gloves. The show deconstructs a Kraft Star Wars marketing campaign and examines the trend of entomophagy, specifically high-end grasshopper burgers. Adam Curry and Dvorak also review the release of Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard and the extraordinary coincidence of a multi-site terror drill occurring in Paris on the morning of the November attacks.

Moctar Mbel Moctar an Algerian is a veteran Islamist militant leader and has been a key figure in North African insurgencies for years Last June, Libyan authorities said he was killed by a US air strike.

CHAPTER 02 / 45 Discussion

Mokhtar Belmokhtar, Al-Murabitun Group Rebranding in Mali

French and Libyan authorities investigate the involvement of Mokhtar Belmokhtar in the Radisson Blu hotel attack in Mali. Despite reports of his death in a previous US air strike, his group Al-Murabitun claimed responsibility alongside Al-Qaeda. Retired Lieutenant Colonel Rudolf Atala of the Atlantic Council provides analysis on the group's efforts to link with Al-Qaeda central and distance itself from regional offshoots.

I thought ISIS did this now it's al Qaeda?

03:11 Well, it's the Chi. Oh I'm very confused analysis yeah you can hear I have a couple of analysis But it say no it's the it's and they renamed they rebranded Yeah, well let's start with that star with my side on this because I do have two clips one Actually the better clip play them Play them now here play to here This is the old place I am, there you go. Caffeine John stop with the decaf on Sunday morning Let's go with the PBS on Mali attack analysis this is a short analysis by some This guy decided, you know the Atlantic Council they always talk about the Atlantic Council Right I've just decided that is an organization that is filled with DIA it's not CIA thing It's a DIA Okay And here what the guy has to say For more on the attack in Mali we turn to retired Lieutenant Colonel Rudolph

04:11 Atala. Where does he work now? Did you check it out where he works? Atlantic Council. He served as Africa counterterrorism director at the Defense Department, he's currently a senior fellow with the Atlantic Council, a non-profit think tank. He is also chief executive officer of a security consulting firm. Rudolf Atala welcome to the program so based on what you've learned so far Who do you think was behind this? Well, it's still unclear. It's going to take time to really reveal that but some news agencies are claiming that Al-Murabitun is headed by Muqtar Balmukhtar an individual that was targeted by US operations back in June presumably killed but on certain

04:56 certain contacts say that he is still alive. Nobody really knows for sure and who is this group of what's connected to Al Qaeda? This group isn't as an offshoot of aqm al-qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and Mukhtar Bal Mokhtar has been trying very hard to link himself directly to Al Qaeda central and break away from Al Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb, and try to run things himself now okay it just Yeah, you know what I'm saying? This guy he's like bad Mexican food. He keeps coming back it just oh there he is again one-eyed Marlboro man come on Well, you're the one that said this the guy was a fiction

05:42 Well, he still may be. I think he might be too. He personally has not come out of his group or whatever... This guy goes on and on for a long time and also talks about how they re-branded. Here's what he said! They rebranded it and now the uh uh... kinda does something or other and they don't have any to do with the magreb group because there's just incompetent boneheads should come up with a with a different thing then now you know i have associations so we went we move over to did democracy now report which is a little action three run-downs reordered later on that it was adequate but this play the discounted much in our system slightly different take on it

CHAPTER 03 / 45 Discussion

Nick Turse, US Proxy Wars and Secret Ops in Africa

Author Nick Turse discusses the expansion of US military involvement across 90% of African nations and the unintended consequences of interventions in Libya and Mali. Turse highlights how US-trained officers were involved in coups in Mali and Burkina Faso, contradicting stated goals of regional stability. The discussion notes Turse's failure to mention Chinese interests in the region as a significant oversight in his analysis.

nick turse· democracy now· libya· burkina faso· china· africa

06:25 they bring this writer on and I have to make a comment about this guy but play D.N. Mali 1. of fire while taking over 180 people hostage. At least three deaths have been confirmed so far. Malian special forces have launched a rescue operation and have exchanged fire with the militants inside. Dozens of people have reportedly been freed, as Malian comandos go door to door. There are reports that captors have released those hostages who are Muslim while keeping those who are not."

07:07 Mali has faced a radical insurgency for over three years. Islamist militants seized northern Mali in 2012, A French-led intervention ousted them the following year but violence continues across the country For context on this hostage crisis in Mali though we don't know a lot of details Last week we spoke to Nick Turs who's the author of the book Tomorrow's Battlefield US Proxy Wars and Secret Ops In Africa Yeah I actually ordered that book haven't received it yet I think you just wasted your money. Okay, whoops! It's all right sometimes we have to do that so other people don't have to. We're happy too. Yeah part two in here with this guy has to say now we were going to talk about Africa America's intervention

07:49 And he goes on and on about one thing or another, and he kind of leaves out the elephant in the room. As far as I can tell that he doesn't know what he's talking about. Tursk focuses on expanding American battlefields in Africa where he says U.S military is now involved more than 90% of Africa's 54 nations In a recent interview with Democracy Now!, He discussed how the US-backed intervention in Libya helped fuel ongoing militant violence in nearby Mali One example is the case of Mali where you had a US trained officer who overthrew the democratically elected government there just two years ago. You know, this was...Mali was supposed to be a bulwark against terrorism it's supposed to

08:31 a stable success story instead you have that occurrence. Then last year the US trained officer overthrew the government of Burkina Faso, I think it's troubling and you hear the talk about professionalism of the military and that they're instilling values human rights these sorts of things but But in reality, what we're seeing on the continent is very different. And if you look at the groups that were training on the continent—the militaries were training—and then you compare them to the State Department's own list of militaries that are carrying out human rights abuses, that are acting in undemocratic ways, you see that these are the same forces. The U.S. is linked up with forces that are generally seen as repressive even by our own government. What is the U.S. interest in Africa?

09:22 Nothing, nothing. We don't care about that. There's no minerals, no oil or nothing. It is difficult to say for sure I think the US has viewed Africa as a place of weak governance A zone that's prone to terrorism and there could be a spread of terror groups on the continent if the US doesn't intervene. He never mentions China! It is interesting you say that, I was just googling Chinese in Mali That is exactly where I was going

09:59 She asked him, he just wrote a book. She asked him the question what's the US interest in Africa? And he says I don't know. What is it booked for? Yeah maybe I can send it back on open... I would cancel immediately! I didn't get the rebranding part though that hasn't been made clear enough to me About what about the rebranding is everybody rebranding or just a street branding we have to rebrand the show you know I am gonna agenda We have to rebrand our shows for the French and for the benefit of the French gonna be agenda no no Agenda moon on blue At The Washington Post had an interesting article pretty actually pretty

Washington Post, Islamic State Propaganda Machine Analysis

The Washington Post reports on the sophisticated media wing of the Islamic State, describing it as a "medieval reality show" with high production values. Journalist Greg Miller details how defectors and professional editors create polished propaganda videos that take months to produce. FBI Director Jim Comey expresses concern that this media output is successfully radicalizing individuals within the United States.

washington post· greg miller· islamic state· propaganda· cgi· jim comey

10:47 Pretty lengthy and they did an associated video which I like a lot because it's always funny when you have news, you know print guys doing video They all this out official in everything And we have a variety of looks. Yeah. Yeah, and and I think they made some key mistakes perhaps not in their Well, I think the mistake's in the video and then it...you know they don't have any of this in their research. But they went inside — this is the title of it — Inside The Surreal World Of Islamic State's Propaganda Machine! And I learned a lot and if the...now is The Washington Post still considered like a good newspaper? Is it...? Yes If you would how do we measure against the paper record, The New York Times They're competitors

11:36 Are they also deemed a paper of record or not? No, no. So sometimes the people think they're lying sacks and when we talk about the paper of record in the media I think were referring to the fact that in broadcasts in particular radio stations In very particular especially around the country tend to run stories that are in The New York Times and tend not to run stories that aren't covered by The New York Times Okay You can get fired if you quote The New York Times is what you're saying pretty Pretty much. Okay, well let's listen to the intro of this I was astounded and if this is true we are doing it all wrong! There are hundreds and hundreds of operatives who are using cameras who were using computers who were experts on editing or experts on filming it is a pervasive presence in the Islamic State you know our story would compare those two medieval reality show

12:25 We have to understand that for the Islamic State, the media operation is as important as the actual fights. Media is as much a jihad... They also do a little too much on the background music to be quite honest Yeah I was gonna ask what's with this music? Is it far out?! It's very scary! It's so science fiction show Every fighter that we talked to every defector said that the media wing Wait a minute. He's telling us... First of all, he says the media arm which is the propaganda arm of ISIS IS ISIL dash whatever you want to call them. Let me just blow them up Right! He's saying not only that but they come from news organizations? Are you kidding me?!

13:25 So reporters, I've not heard of this. Reporters are defecting... Okay well he this guy has some very specific information about the... Who is this guy that's talking? This is uh he works for The Washington Post He does it I looked at his... I have to go in and see exactly what his name was. I looked at all of his writing you know he writes about all these rights about ISIS Duh. He's the ace, he got the ISIS beat! Yeah, he actually wrote it with somebody else let me see if I have it here... I'll look for what we listen to the second part which is probably just as funny and even after the filming there is an enormous amount of work that sometimes takes weeks or even months To turn this into a highly polished piece of propaganda. That's ready for release. Yeah, it's ready for release They have a release day yeah It's ready for release Islamic State produces an avalanche of propaganda on

14:27 An avalanche of propaganda. Oh yeah! But that the timing is pretty well orchestrated then if they take months to do one of these burning videos Which of course as we know took months and months of CGI and all kinds of other special effects They time that perfectly with oh, we got yourself like this is this piece itself. Yeah, it's propaganda propaganda absolutely Daily, we should be ashamed of themselves at Washington Post I don't think that's ever going to happen.

15:30 Greg Miller. See, he knows stuff that we haven't even figured out yet. He knows from the dead terrorists... He knows that they were drawn by propaganda. You got a crystal ball. There's one last, there is one last clip of this short one. I love the music it trips me out! This is a source of enormous anxiety and concern. At least some if not all these attackers in Paris were drawn to the Islamic State largely because its propaganda. FBI director Jim Comey talks repeatedly about his concern that Americans who don't even leave this country who don't even attempt to travel to Syria are going to be radicalized

CHAPTER 05 / 45 Discussion

Caliphate Survival Tips, Reciting the Shahada

A discussion on survival tactics during terrorist encounters focuses on the requirement to recite the Shahada to avoid execution. The hosts review the specific wording of the Islamic testimony of faith and mention other potential "quizzes" used by militants, such as naming the wife of Muhammad. The segment includes a brief physical description of Attorney General Loretta Lynch standing next to the 6'7" Jim Comey.

shahada· loretta lynch· jim comey· survival tips· islam· muhammad

16:48 There you go, that's the point. We're all gonna wait I don't want to go too far off topic mm-hmm. I just want to mention it. I saw Jim Comey with The head of what's her name? Justice Department woman Oh Loretta Lynch the country singer She's another twerp. Oh, yeah she is! She shows up underneath way... if she was standing next to Comey I don't know if Comey's very tall but I think so. Yeah, Comey is 6'7". Comey is 6'7", guys huge. Oh, I didn't know he was that tall. Well, she would come up somewhere under his nipple

17:29 The top of her head would be under his nipple. Let's talk about the propaganda machine for a second? Well, before we do that can I just mention one thing about the Mali thing? Of course. There was a lot of mentions and this is no agenda tip... there was a lot of mentions that they tried to... They shot everyone who wasn't Muslim and they... And that one guy from the Defense Department who is now with the Atlantic Council he mentioned that what they actually did, and I think a lot of these guys are doing this. They're asking the... you know they go up to you and they have you recite the Shahada He's the only guy who mentioned this Now there has been two things that he knows Wait a minute The Shahada? You said Yeah the Shahada, look it up Go look it up on Wikipedia because there is actually a clip in Arabic It's very... There is no God but God And Allah as his messenger Is essentially what it is

18:23 I think you might have to get... The Shahada is a testimony of faith. Yeah, it's like the number one on the Muslim list of hot tips. There is none worthy of worship except God and Muhammad is the messenger of God that's it? That's shahada so that's what you have to remember? That's not the one that I remember either when I'm looking at this there was no god but God Muhammad is the messenger of God okay mentioned the word God This is then this is the New Testament version I don't give a shit. Just one of them, but anyway if you said that... Then you don't get killed! You don't get killed, you're out Now if you go to the Shahada page on the Wikipedia there is an Arabic at the very bottom and to the right there's an Arabic way of saying it And I think you'd probably be better off learning that If you click on that you can probably play it if your'e on that page

19:14 Let me see. You can play it right from the wiki page? Yes, new! Okay hold on... Oh it's new interesting New feature Let me see I have the Shahada and we're oh here it is audio let's see if that works A Shahada A Shahada No no further down there's the actual shahada thats just a word Right there on the right and the right column all the way at the bottom. Okay? Oh, yes here we go okay Man, Kanye lyrics. They're very verbose. Kanye lyrics are easier than that. Yeah it might be tough. The other one is and I've noticed this in a couple of situations they give you a quiz this happened on a bus that was hijacked yeah okay these are no agenda tips yes survival tip save your life no agendas caliphate survival tips yeah they ask and i can't remember you know i didn't bring it up right now and i still can't remember this but i know i've looked it up

20:17 They ask you who is the wife of Muhammad? Oh man, I'm already dead. I'm already dead. Isn't her name... what is her name? Well there ya go! Uggghhh I don't want to be dead. Well you better start memorizing more. You don't know either do ya? No that's why I am not looking it up because I'm irked by myself cause' I've looked it up a couple times and I know what it is and I can't remember it either. Kahidija Nah I don't think that's how you pronounce Sorry didn't know her name

20:57 Please okay, those are your no agenda tips for yes. No agenda survival tips 11 22 2015 I'm so I will tips you know I'm so I'm confused just in general about this propaganda stuff and if we're hearing from reasonable journalists who are Respected that the propaganda arm is really the most important thing Why aren't we really doing anything about that because we're doing it? Thank you. That would be the easy answer, but couldn't they at least put up some kind of you know I don't like false front Yeah something like that well actually robberies fake it Robert Gates is Now he was the was he? Secretary defense I believe who was FBI

CHAPTER 06 / 45 Discussion

Robert Gates, Encryption and Tech Company Cooperation

Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates calls for increased NSA capabilities to track terrorists and urges tech companies to provide government access to encrypted devices. Gates suggests a "heart-to-heart" talk between the President and Silicon Valley leaders is necessary to address sophisticated encryption. The hosts review Gates's long career in the CIA and his involvement in the Iran-Contra affair.

robert gates· nsa· encryption· cia· iran-contra· silicon valley

21:49 Well, that was what...what's his name? He starts with the M. He is over at Facebook all the time and he was there for the whole reign of our show. Right. Okay so Robert Gates was DOD...he was Secretary of Defense I think you're right, Secretary of Defense though he of course is out with all kinds of groups consulting and eventually you run out of people to talk to until they bring him in and... He also working for that crazy group that you always bitching about Rita Katz's operation Gates is working for that? Yeah. Oh, well there you go now makes a lot of sense here he is pushing pretty sure I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure would be pretty I'll look at it when we listen to this clip of Robert Gates

22:29 And his idea of what needs to happen now, because of course this is all about the cyber caliphate. I think the president and Congress ought to have the director of the National Security Agency tell them what capabilities does NSA have to track these guys that they are prevented from using now? And what would those capabilities give us in terms of added capability of tracking potential terror plots in the United States or elsewhere in the world? And then, if he says there are capabilities that can be helpful, we ought to take advantage of that. And I think frankly there may be time for a very—for a heart-to-heart talk between the president and some of the leaders

23:12 Tech companies in terms of providing some help to the government on some of these highly sophisticated encryption devices. Ah, highly sophisticated encryption devices! That's right He was director of CIA Robert Gates wasn't he with the Defense Department during the Bush administration? Well, he was Just look him up. He was a part of Iran-Contra affair. He was a part of that and he was...He WAS?! Yeah Yeah, it was very close to a lot of people in that. Uh-huh as director of CIA I think he was CIA then. Remember being the CIA? Well...I think it says that yeah

23:50 Yeah, the American Statesman scholar president service second director of defense. Yes secretary Okay, director 26 years in the CIA and the Nationalist both an NSC which is a White House Director of Central Intelligence under George HW okay? He's the hw yeah That's how he got involved so you would be obviously involved in the contra thing yeah So he's calling for, we gotta do something about the sophisticated encryption technologies. They're so sophisticated! Well that brought up a kind of a... Brennan kinda came up and said something too and this was covered with Democracy Now!, and of course... Ahhhh

CHAPTER 07 / 45 Discussion

Glenn Greenwald, CIA Director John Brennan and Data Collection

Glenn Greenwald criticizes CIA Director John Brennan for using the Paris attacks to push for expanded surveillance and blaming Edward Snowden for intelligence failures. Greenwald cites a New York Times editorial labeling Brennan a "pathological liar" regarding his public statements. The discussion posits that mass data collection is intended for political blackmail rather than preventing terrorism, as attackers often communicate without digital encryption.

glenn greenwald· john brennan· edward snowden· new york times· blackmail· encryption

24:28 Don't rap, Grenn Greenwald! Grenn Greenwald comes on and he uh... Gwen Greenwald. Gwenn Greenwald. Right now I'm rapping. He comes on and bitches but- And i only have a part of this because he goes on and on and on and he lists everything that's ever happened pretty much that they didn't catch because they were blaming Snowden and encryption Oh perfect. Here is kind the Brennan & Greenwald clip To find these terrorists much more challenging That was CIA Director John Brennan. Glenn Greenwald, could you respond to what he said and also to how the media has covered Brennan's comments? Let me guess—he starts off with, well it's totally ridiculous! No? It's actually better

25:13 We have not heard such blatant, shameless lying from intelligence and military officials since 2002 and 2003. Is he back in Brazil John? Yes. By the way he can't seem to breathe through his nose. But that's okay! He is safe in Brazil. And they propagandize the country into invading Iraq based on utterly false pretenses it is actually shocking to listen to John Brennan say that The proof of just what a liar he is, is the fact that yesterday the New York Times editorial page which is usually very constrained and very establishment oriented published an editorial that was remarkable in terms of rhetoric it used

25:55 what the CIA is doing in terms of exploiting the Paris attacks a new low and disgraceful. And it also pointed out that John Brennan, the head of the CIA and Obama's closest national security aide is a pathological and inveterate liar. It detailed all the ways he has been lying to the public about numerous issues. Did you see this article? Yeah. And the New York Times says that Brennan's a pathological liar? Not in so many words, I suppose. Oh okay. For many years and said how can anyone possibly believe him? He is a pathological liar! Well hey, that's what Grant Greenwald just said right there. Go look again. Grant Greenwald just said how can anyone possibly believe a word that comes out of his mouth

26:38 As far as the specific claim that he just mentioned goes, there's so many reasons. So many obvious clear evidence-driven reasons why what he is saying is utterly false. To begin with think about how many large scale mass terrorist attacks were successfully perpetrated long before anyone knew the name Edward Snowden. And I hate saying actually over and over, the column I wrote in PC Magazine. I discussed this where these guys are all buddies a lot of them there are friends come with couple relatives and they lived in the same building when they have to communicate with encryption is go have a meeting also. I told you I've been watching The Americans the series and of course it said in the 80s with the height of the Cold War between the US and Soviet Union but you see how spies communicate

27:39 They don't need encryption. They just drop off stuff at the park bench and stick it under the soda machine I'm sure that works just fine, a little booklet with codes Like the booklet with the codes? Yeah Oh, we got another coded message. Oh God! Are you going to do this one or is it just gonna be me? This will take me an hour there's a good show on can we do it after football?" Right but the emperor has no clothes and that of course is the big elephant in the room as everybody has all these great intelligence services and yet this continues to happen Well The one thing Greenwald never says and he goes on and on believe maybe I if I made that could have made this clip infinitely long

28:20 He never says the one thing, why are they collecting all this data? He does say that there was...I didn't clip this but at the very just as he says it was gonna say something. It's funny but the screen did go dark and show in dark. I couldn't catch the rest of it. But he doesn't say the obvious. They're collecting this data for blackmail Oh, of course. You collect data... Why would you collect data on everybody you can collect data on unless you're gonna blackmail them? Right. Because you're always going to find something that's kind of shady in everybody's background even though I never do anything wrong. I have nothing to hide. Well, one, it says beside the point because they're going to be blackmailing lawmakers and not you bonehead but you probably do have something to hide if you think about it

CHAPTER 08 / 45 Discussion

Public Anxiety, Risk Assessment and World War III

The hosts share personal anecdotes about public reactions to the Paris attacks during everyday activities like getting haircuts or shopping at Whole Foods. They observe a heightened sense of fear and poor risk assessment among the general population. One host describes telling people that the current global situation represents the beginning of a "Third World War" to gauge their reactions.

29:07 Well, I went out. Hold on a second. You okay? Why don't you talk? Yeah, I went out Friday and Saturday amongst the people you know I had to get out of the house as it happened. I don't think i'd left the house since Wednesday this Tuesday night yeah that happens so I went to get my hair cut and everybody I talked You know, they'd be just talking like everything's good and then you didn't just either somehow the Paris You know Isis comes up in the conversation and use NP.

Now we talked about the Warriors Okay

29:55 Okay, yeah there you go. Everyone's real concerned out there in the Berkeley area. Berkeley? What do you expect? No but see their faces going oh yeah I'm really concerned about it and really for the world to shit on me it's really scary out there and this is working. It's working extremely well It's really scary out there. Yeah, people... When I go to Whole Foods, I'm always aware. I look left and right? I try not to mock my friends that way because you don't have to be that worried. People have no way... Human beings have very poor risk assessment skills. You should jump! Did something happen here?!

30:35 Do you know something? Do you know something, do you know that something's gonna happen. Something is going to happen here what's gonna happen here What's gonna happen why are you worried this is not a good no agenda tip It's not okay Well I was listening to char or actually as watching Charlie Rose And this is kind of where it comes from because I do wind up telling people well This is how you know You don't have to be worried But this is the beginning of World War three. You know, it's kind of cool to see their expression go what? King Abdullah of Jordan was on with that Charlie Rose and they did not discuss the sexuality in his DNA but

CHAPTER 09 / 45 Discussion

King Abdullah II of Jordan, Generational Fight Against ISIS

King Abdullah II of Jordan tells Charlie Rose that the fight against ISIS is a "Third World War by other means" and a generational struggle. He emphasizes that Muslim countries must take ownership of the problem, calling the extremism a "Muslim problem" and "evil." Abdullah also notes the global nature of the threat, mentioning fighters traveling to Syria from the Caucasus and Western China.

king abdullah ii· jordan· vladimir putin· charlie rose· caucasus· world war iii

31:12 He's, and I was glad that Charlie jumped on this. For once he was awake in an interview In my view you've got now this phenomena that has created a problem for all of us in the international community This guy speaks some good English too Where was he educated? King Abdullah of Jordan I think England...I could be wrong but I'll look it up But he is married to an American A Hadi Albet Former model Dynamite These guys And that's the issue with foreign fighters So, you have now foreign fighters coming from all over the world. Coming to fight alongside ISIS in Syria and now today inside of Iraq

31:49 If you look at from the Russian point of view, Cheshun extremist fighters are coming in to fight in Syria and Iraq that are going to be problematic because eventually they go back to the Caucasus. Not only that all the other jihadists who are looking for a next place to fight will also go back to the Caucasus so they have as much of a problem I believe If not slightly more because of the numbers involved and let's say other European countries France Germany Italy or anywhere else, so I think we're all in in the same boat. I mean you'd probably be surprised that we're picking up Chinese from Western China That's pretty cool! In Syria there is Chinese from Western China? Are they fighting there with the Chinese from Western China those are

32:35 Are those the extremists who are knifing everybody? Western China is the industrialized part of China. Mm-hmm That's it aren't those the guys who were knifing people out there in West China on The train, is that what he's talking about don't think so In Syria and in Iraq and actually not too far away from our borders So this has really become a global problem And how do you deal with that global problem well There is, on the other side is I personally believe that we as Arab and Muslim countries as I said to our parliament on the opening of parliament two months ago this is a muslim problem. We need to take ownership of this. We need to stand up and say what is right and what is wrong This is no reflection of our religion. This is evil

33:20 And all of us have got to make that decision. We have to stand up and say, this is the line that is drawn in the sand and those who believe in rights should stand on this side, and those who don't have to make a decision stand on the other. It's clearly a fight between good and evil. I think it's such a generational fight As I said to actually to President Putin, I think this is this is a third world war by other means. I think let me just not go You're saying this is a third world war about all the means and that's what you said to Putin That's what you'll say to the president United States? I love that Is that we gonna say Obama any of course he yeah He walks him up. Yeah, he walks that one back Well, sorry, I just want it. I was gonna play his reaction when he says are you so that's what he told Putin I guess

34:05 King Abdullah is hanging out with everybody. He's the guy who hangs out? Well, we call it a fair-weather friend perhaps You're saying this is a third world war by other means and that what you said to Putin That's what you'll say to the President of United States What I believe I've already said to the president and I've said to other leaders This is a generational fight and I hope that Generational fight! I hadn't really considered that Oh, generally. Yeah if you look at because I'm looking at these suicide terrorists... They're all millennials! And we know how easy it is within means

CHAPTER 10 / 45 Discussion

Millennial Radicalization, Campus Free Speech Debates

A discussion on the radicalization of millennials links high youth unemployment to susceptibility to extremist propaganda. The hosts reference a Washington Post article about college students battling free speech, citing Pew Research data showing millennials are more likely to support government censorship of offensive comments. They also mention the "Revenge of the Coddled" and the fears of liberal professors regarding student sensitivity.

millennials· free speech· pew research· washington post· college students· social justice

34:46 For example, the FBI in the United States to string along some...doesn't even have to be a millennial. But I'd say most of these are millennials. String them along for a couple of months get them all hyped up that you know there are so many certainly in Europe there are so many young people who have not just no job but no real prospect at the moment and we have youth unemployment of 50%. You know what is happening? And kind funny and disgusting at the same time that it really is some of the propaganda. Maybe not what is being touted, and what you see on Twitter gives a crap about that but it's not that hard to radicalize these Millennials. Which reminds me talking about radicalizing the Millennials I don't want go off topic too far but there was a nice article on

35:36 I guess it was in the Washington Post, why college student protesters are battling free... Yeah. I think I emailed that to you didn't i? Maybe. Battling free speech and there's one graph they show people that would just assume the question was percent this from the Pew guys yeah percent saying that government should be able to block offensive comments about minorities. And right at the top, near the top is millennials they all say that. The bottom is the Republicans are very bombed they say no to any of that which is a good thing people with college degrees say no white men say no boomers it starts to go up but not much gen X-ers not much and then starts to move in starts moving with I think women

36:22 say it's okay to do that. And then it gets worse with the UK, they hire United Kingdom saying is okay Spain says more than millennials and the French. It's...the millennials shouldn't be on there on the list with these European countries they should be down at the bottom with people that understand that the Constitution protects this sort of thing. They don't get that I think they're easily influenced Yeah, I think I sent you an article about it. It was called the Revenge of the Coddled? Right that's a different article... yeah so and there is also that I'm a liberal professor and i'm afraid of my students. My students, my liberal students terrify me! That's what it is Now we take some of this lightly but in fact

CHAPTER 11 / 45 Discussion

Princeton Protests, Woodrow Wilson and Master Titles

Students at Princeton University demand the removal of Woodrow Wilson's name from campus buildings due to his segregationist policies. Similar protests at Yale led to the removal of the title "Master" for dormitory heads. The discussion extends to Silicon Valley, where some programmers find the "master-slave" terminology in hard drive architecture offensive and seek to change technical language.

princeton university· woodrow wilson· yale university· master-slave· silicon valley· political correctness

37:11 Can you stay with your thinking so I can just take a little shaggy dog? Yeah, of course thing going here play the Attack on Woodrow Wilson clip ah yes. Do we need any background or just I'll just play that there will background after after the fact. began Wednesday amidst massive national student protests. Princeton students are demanding the removal of Woodrow Wilson's name as president, he ordered the resegregation of restrooms and cafeterias in Washington government buildings. In some federal offices, he ordered screens to be set up to separate black and white workers his racist views were so widely known at the time that W.E.B Du Bois wrote an open letter to Woodrow Wilson in which he called Wilson's policies quote the gravest attack

38:11 on the liberties of African Americans since emancipation. So, yeah. It's probably brain-frying some people. This is the cognitive dissonance that is needed to keep people screwy. Now the thing that wasn't mentioned there was that they did a big deal in Princeton similar to what happened in Yale where they had to remove the word master

38:51 from a whole slew of titles. Yes, especially like a master of arts and master. Well they didn't do that yet that's coming OK but I'm talking about the master of various dorms that sort same thing happened at Yale is all these. I agree they should change it to Massa So they've taken the word master out. And I'm thinking this is just the beginning of the end for trying to, you know... We can't even talk about anything at any level and you can't use the word master so over dinner with JC and his wife, both millennials. Both Millennials he says that he is fighting right now in Silicon Valley the move to remove the master-slave relationship with hard disk drives. Yeah oh this has been going on for a while! And that guy got into an argument with one guy about it he says just at the terminology says its offensive and JC's response was to the hard disk?

39:49 No, it's offensive to the hard disk. No no no this is very offensive To the quadriplegic black programmer I don't know what you're a plebeian just sounded better. I don't know just throwing some extra shit in there This is indeed completely ridiculous. There's a lot of examples of this, but I'm reading now that they're talking about changing actual scholarly titles such as a masters in fine arts? You can be reading that but I haven't read that yet... But! That's coming Of course it is So what do we do? What about the poor MBAs out there? What are they going to be called? This is just to get their goat A Massa Yeah

CHAPTER 12 / 45 Discussion

Academic Corruption, Student Loans and Social Justice

The hosts argue that the influx of student loan money has corrupted higher education by turning students into "customers" whose feelings must be protected. An essay by a professor describes how the fear of poor evaluations and tenure denial prevents educators from challenging student beliefs. This environment is compared to the "lifestyle" marketing used by ISIS to recruit disillusioned youth who lack economic prospects.

university of california· student loans· social justice· higher education· tenure· isis

40:36 And I'm really looking at my generation, and you have kids in the same range as mine by coincidence. Well, I know what that was... You had nothing better to do make some kids. Get to the point! Yeah but what have we done wrong? What have we done wrong? Well i don't think I've done anything wrong because JC is a defender of the language. Right gotcha now I got ya. I don't think I've done that much wrong with my daughter either but just look at what has gone wrong Someone has to... The influence of the academic institutions. I don't know, I can't prove this but

41:17 Once they became corrupted by money, because you have to remember that only recently when they came up with this idea of student loans and so the student can get any infinite amount of money... Yeah. That's when students became customers and there was a lot of money being made. Students are customers, so they can jack up the price on them. There is no reason for that especially when you consider the fact that I more or less went to the University of California at the time the top-rated school both private and public in the world for free There was a pittance of the fee, and books were cheap by the way. And you could buy used books for your courseware and all the rest of it. Now it costs as much to go to Cal as it cost to go to Stanford. I don't know why anyone would go to Cal if you have a choice nowadays because this is not as prestigious a degree but...and the football team stinks which is another story altogether. It's really irksome. I want to read this. This is his essay from this book.

42:14 from this professor who says he's afraid of it and he's changed his curriculum, he's taken out anything that might be deemed offensive. And he says here the real problem is simplistic unworkable and ultimately stifling conception of social justice This shift in student-teacher dynamic placed many of the traditional goals of higher education, such as having students challenge their beliefs off limits. While I used to pride myself on getting students to question themselves and engage with difficult concepts and texts, I now hesitate. What if this hurts my evaluations? And I don't get tenure! How many complaints will it take before chairs or administrators begin to worry that I'm not giving our customers—students—the positive experience they're paying for?!

42:55 This phenomenon has been widely discussed as of late mostly as a means of deriding political economic and cultural forces writers don't much care for true Commentators on the left and right have recently criticized the sensitivity in paranoia today's college students, but really you know These students are in a perfect state Of mind to be riled up against anything. As long as you put the right words in there And they could they'll get on board yes, and this is the way the ISIS folks have managed to, in fact you get a lot of if you get enough of these long format news shows like News Hour and Democracy Now! And you get the list that some of these people going on and on about it. They say is the cultural thing

43:36 It's a cultural difference, and the ISIS folks even though it's stupid what they do you know this let's blow ourselves up and put up a memorial and we'll be in heaven and all the rest of it. They actually convinced these guys that this is a lifestyle that's worth its more fun than what you're doing now! And it probably is in many cases yeah. It seems a lot more fun to kill someone get them blow yourself up I mean what are you doing now? You sitting around grousing This is gonna continue to worsen because there really are no jobs out there. Nobody wants to talk about that. That's the problem... Man 2 Thank you, thank you. You're right and with the continuous lying and number jiggering of the economy and joblessness rate certainly in United States... Howard Glassman Who are we kidding with 5% unemployment? Man 2 Yeah where it's really more like 20%. Howard Glassman 22.5%. Man 2 Yeah if you take all the people who've just given up on looking into account.

King Abdullah II in San Francisco, Queen Rania

An anecdote describes King Abdullah II's frequent visits to San Francisco, where his security detail reportedly brandishes automatic weapons from SUVs in Union Square. The King is noted for his fondness for Morton's Steakhouse and his education at Georgetown and in the UK. The hosts compare the Western media's shifting portrayal of Middle Eastern leaders like Bashar al-Assad to corporate treatment of fired employees.

44:33 But this is it's because we're at a point now. Yeah, we always are looking at okay Who did this you know who was really going in for an attack of the scale of the attack in Paris? even in Mali, you know and this is not just a bunch of Millennial kids who are disillusioned than going all-in on whatever they've been mind controlled to but that is happening Now what's really happening yes You were talking about Abdullah. I want to tell a couple anecdotes about him. Okay, tell me about it. He comes to San Francisco a lot and by the way here's his education we discussed earlier as they bring people back up to speed. Abdullah began schooling in Islamic Education College in Amman

45:16 Amman, and then attended St. Edmund School Hindhead in England before continuing his education in the United States at Eagle Brook School and the Deerfield Academy. And by the way he also came back in 1987 and attended the Edmund A Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown. So he's got a lot of connections to... Oh! He is married to that Tati, to Rainier? She's outrageous. And so he shows up a lot in San Francisco and every once in awhile, I was actually in the city when he was floating around and he drives around on these huge escalators and these goofy looking guards are...and I think, I don't know how they allow this in San Francisco but they've got automatic weapons and they're sticking them out of windows. Excellent! While driving by? The streets of San Francisco? Yes!

46:13 Well, you know who really has power I bitched about this but anyway so you so you're right You're there and there's a driving or actually I saw him Saw him somewhere And then they got in these cars and they drove off with all these guns sticking out the windows Lamy and people in the streets in Union Square San Francisco. It's ridiculous I asked around and it turns out that he likes to come into Union Square because he loves II He gives speeches at the Commonwealth Club and different organizations. He must be here three or four times a year. He likes to eat at Morton's Steakhouse. He likes eating homeless people, maybe? Yeah he eats at Morton's Steakhouse in San Francisco. It is his favorite place. Hey pick that guy up! I'm sure Mortons can slice him into a nice little steak. Jeez...

46:56 You know, I had an Uber driver. I think Friday night for like 10 minutes...I didn't record. I should have really because as I'm kind of driving along he's saying where are you from? Oh Jordan! Like oh man and after a very short conversation he says, you know, Jordan can turn into Syria any day. He said, but you got Queen Rainier. I said, oh yeah that's all the more reason to be careful Because this is Assad, also beautiful wife. Vogue magazine everybody loved him Brad and Angelina hanging out of course the New York Times if you read it now has completely changed that into bloody horrible dictator he's been a problem for years you know this is he's killing his own people. It's almost like the way a corporation treats the guy they just fired yeah yes raise a dream this was the best salesman we've ever had yeah the guy was no good

CHAPTER 14 / 45 Discussion

Joe Biden Weekly Address, Refugee Vetting Process

Vice President Joe Biden delivers a weekly address focusing on the "heinous" attacks in Paris and Beirut while calling for solidarity with Syrian refugees. Biden dismisses fears of refugees, asserting that the administration prioritizes American safety. One host shares their personal experience with the US Customs "trusted traveler" vetting process, suggesting the system is generally effective despite political rhetoric.

joe biden· paris· beirut· syrian refugees· trusted traveler· vetting

47:44 Since the president was out and about, he probably pre-recorded his weekly podcast. Good old Joe did the podcast, the weekly address Okay, you want to hear a bit of Joe? No. This is your beat Yeah I couldn't really pull out a single clip because the whole thing is good But we'll just play it until we're tired of it You know man Joe he when he talks like this He looks presidential he's exactly the kind of guy We want I have to say morning everyone everybody how are ya doing this past week? We've seen the best and the worst of humanity yeah The heinous terrorist attacks in venus

48:25 Isn't that heinous? Heinous. Why does he say heinous? I don't know, maybe you can say heinous... I-I don't know Elvis the pelvis and his brother heinous! Wow just i thought it was heinous We've seen the best in the worst of humanity The heinous terrorist attacks in Paris, and Beirut, in Iraq and Nigeria. They showed us once again the depths of the terrorist depravity. At the same time we saw a world come together in solidarity. Parisians opening their doors to anyone trapped in the street. Taxi drivers turning off their meters to get people home safely

49:05 People lining up to donate blood. These simple human acts are a powerful reminder that we cannot be broken and in the face of terror, we stand as one In the wake of these terrible events I understand the anxiety that many Americans feel. I really do! I don't dismiss the fear of a terrorist bomb going off There's nothing President Obama and I take more seriously though than keeping the American people safe. In the past few weeks though, we've heard an awful lot of people suggest that the best way to keep America safe is to prevent any Syrian refugee from gaining asylum in the United States." And then he goes into whole thing about how all people are good and what you're talking about... You must be nuts! I have the reply that Republicans- That's a good summary

50:02 Because you know what we have now is there's this big conversation about can we vet these people properly? Let me tell you something about the US customs process They vet I mean if your celebrity they don't vet and remember. I went to get my like my card my What is it? The trusted traveler card so I can come in on, you know...I can go to the kiosk when I come into the country. Right And then a guy knew who I was and he recalled the story like don't worry about it's all good but did the personal interview having done this twice now there that I think that process is reasonably good no are you gonna have one guy slip through yeah maybe you're wanting 250 thousand yeah maybe 1 in 250 thousand people in America kill someone anyway

CHAPTER 15 / 45 Discussion

Martha McSally, Republican Response on ISIS Strategy

Representative Martha McSally of Arizona provides the Republican response to the President, using her background as the first female combat pilot to call for an aggressive strategy against ISIS. McSally emphasizes her military experience in Iraq and Afghanistan while urging the administration to provide global leadership. The hosts critique her "militaristic tone" and compare it to other political figures.

martha mcsally· arizona· air force· combat pilot· isis· congress

50:51 That's where we're at. That's the statistics now, I think this is... It was higher than that? Could be what I found was it's about the same one about 250 thousand. So you know i'm not too worried about this process obviously only done for well you know what it doesn't even matter We're already there whatever you can light off of a bomb anywhere and just say ISIS and it'll be accepted That's the danger. Now, the Republicans they always get to do a podcast that counters the president I guess and I'm looking at now 53 views this thing is hot! This thing is number one on the iTunes podcast chart right here Martha McSally from Arizona are you familiar with her? You know their name rings a bell

51:45 She is a former Air Force, so she's coming out and she's like we got to go kick some ass. But her cadence is very very disturbing. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Paris as they recover from last week's horrific terrorist attacks while we mourn this tragedy let us be reminded those attacks could have happened here This is not to instill fear, but to remind us to be... I'm not trying to scare you. Not trying to scare anything, but it could happen here! It could happen here! Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Paris as they recover from last week's horrific terrorist attacks While we mourn this tragedy let us be reminded those attacks could have happened here

52:24 This is not to instill fear, but to remind us to be vigilant. That's why we're calling on the administration to step up provide global leadership and put together a coherent and aggressive strategy to defeat ISIS I need no reminders about the threats we face Before being elected to Congress, I served 26 years in the US Air Force retiring as a full colonel I was the first female fighter pilot to fly in combat and the first to command a fighter squadron in combat in US history. In my career, I flew 2600 flight hours including over 325 combat hours in both Iraq and Afghanistan." You can kind of see which faction she represents She is of the let's go kick some ISIS ass faction. I deployed to the Middle East and Afghanistan six times serving in leadership positions for the initial air campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan

53:11 and counter-terrorism ops in Africa. After I was elected, I had the privilege to be appointed to a task force on combating terrorist and foreign fighter travel." I thought she has a very offensive militaristic tone which does not... Not as bad as Carly Fiorina! Yeah but she's running for president She has no time for this Now i want to mention something You're off by a factor of 10 Oh really? It's 25 thousand? Yes Huh Well, so just being in America is potentially more dangerous than being in any other country. Being in ISIS-controlled territory! Actually those numbers are really high. Oh man... not good. So before we take our break and thank some people I thought maybe we would just check in with our buddy

CHAPTER 16 / 45 Discussion

Robert Kagan, Liberal World Order and ISIS Threats

Neoconservative scholar Robert Kagan writes in the Wall Street Journal about a "crisis of world order," arguing that US reluctance to deploy power has weakened the "liberal world order." Kagan claims the threat of an ISIS attack on an American city is a new development, a claim the hosts dismiss as "fear porn" and recycled propaganda. The segment notes Kagan's family ties to the "war lobby" and the State Department.

robert kagan· victoria nuland· wall street journal· liberal world order· syria· fear porn

54:03 Victoria Kagan Noodleman. I'm so annoyed now to bring this in because there was a one of these long reports and I guess they didn't clip it out on Mali, and there was interviews with a State Department... There's two things. One they had this talk with the State Department person who happened to be in Mali coincidentally. And they also mentioned there was some sort of peace negotiation conference taking place in that hotel that nobody talks about. Yes, there was and yeah, and you're right. There's very little reporting on it I did catch that the whole thing is very poorly done well I'm a noodle well I put yeah, I play noodle man because her husband has finally surfaced And he is clearly one of the other advisors that President Obama eschews

54:57 And he wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal titled, you gotta love this guy. Remember this is Robert Kagan and his brother Frederick and Bill Kristol... Part of the neoconservative warmongers. The war lobby who I believe are still running this operation. I think the president is not in control at all. He's just responding now to whatever he can do. And Kagan, Robert Kagan wrote a very important piece which everybody should read Titled the crisis of world order, you know I love it when these guys throw it into your face and he has a new concept called the liberal world order which of course is his crap according to him and Here's what? He wrote. The flip side of European pleasure at America's Newfound Venetian Which is you know because we're all now we're all freaked out

55:49 is the perception widely shared around the world that the US is a declining superpower. This is from Kagan, this is the guy who pretty much you'd presume would want America to be a huge superpower And that even if it is not objectively weaker than it once was, its leader's willingness to deploy power on behalf of its interests and on behalf of the West has greatly diminished. As former German Foreign Minister Fischer recently put it, the US is quite obviously no longer willing or able to play its old role." And Kagan goes on to say that Fisher was referring to America's role as a dominant power, of course in the Middle East. But since the refugee crisis which he is now calling refugee instead of migrants and the attacks in Paris, America's unwillingness to play that role has reverberations and implications well beyond the Middle East. What the US now does or doesn't do in Syria will affect the future stability of Europe

56:43 the strength of transatlantic relations and therefore the well-being of the quote liberal world order. So what we did, so this migrant crisis in the United States has kind of become important for Europe in a strange way...the way Kagan puts it if you read his whole article is that we are so much the winners in all of this that whatever we do Europe is just sitting there going ah we don't know please don't f us and we're probably going to Yeah, and I had dinner with the former New York banker Friday night And his wife? And he was agreeing on everything. It was like, he was no agenda guy all of a sudden. He's like, oh yeah we're screwed. Oh yeah this Europe is going down. Oh yeah it's all over and of course he's coming from the American banks won the European banks lost that still his mantra. Yeah well he's probably right on I'm gonna read something in the Kagan thing which but i believe at this piece...I looked it over uh I didn't deconstruct it completely but it rings with dissonance

57:42 I think it's designed to confuse people, of course, because Kagan. But this one graph really got to me. This is no doubt...he says this is no doubt the last thing that Mr Obama wants to hear and possibly believe. Certainly he would not deny that stakes have gone up since the refugee crisis and especially since Paris At the very least, Islamic State has proven both its desire and ability to carry out massive coordinated attacks in a major European city. It is not unthinkable that it could carry out a similar attack in an American city period and then he says this is new. Yeah when it's just bullcrap, this isn't new it's new that ISIS but always we are just inundated with propaganda that were going to be attacked any minute yes this is not new so why would you put this as new? It's not new. Well knew that one little group is gonna bomb us what difference does it make at this point

58:40 Yeah, that's exactly it. He is saying that ISIS did it and now that's new. And of course we were joking about ISIS you know how they're going to sail their Toyotas to America? No but now because we have this magical propaganda force that sucks children into blowing themselves up That's the so-called the new thing, but that's never been that's not new in no in a meta sense There's been every number of groups besides the lone wolves that are gonna kill us any minute and all the stabbings that are taking place here and there with you know little Isis wannabes

Jeb Bush, Ground Troops and No-Fly Zones

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush calls for the deployment of US ground troops and the establishment of a no-fly zone over Syria. Speaking in South Carolina, Bush advocates for an international coalition to use "overwhelming force" against ISIS. The hosts note that his strategy aligns closely with proposals from Hillary Clinton regarding increased military presence.

jeb bush· syria· nato· kurds· no-fly zone· ground troops

59:17 This is not new. So why does he put that it's new? What is the point, what is he trying to engender in the reader to convince... this is fear porn! This is bullcrap! This whole article is a piece of shit as far as I'm concerned. Yeah, of course. It is a Yeah, but it's important because he's signaling what the other team outside of the president really wants and they want 50 thousand troops. They want a no-fly zone While we're at that let's listen to one of more obscure presentations by Jeb Bush that was played on Democracy Now! This is Jeb Bush calling for war and soldiers. Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush has proposed deploying US ground troops to fight the so-called Islamic State. Speaking at a military college in South Carolina, Bush called for no fly zone over Syria arming Kurdish forces and increasing troop presence on the ground

1:00:13 The United States should not delay in leading a global coalition to take out ISIS with overwhelming force. As the words of French President Hollande have made clear, the United States will not be alone in galvanizing this global effort. Militarily we need to intensify our our efforts in the air and on the ground. While air power is essential, it cannot bring the results we seek. The United States in conjunction with our NATO allies and more Arab partners will need to increase our presence on the ground." Yeah let's elect that guy! What could possibly go wrong? Well Hillary saying the same thing she's saying troops she's saying no fly zone

Putin is seen managing military operations via a high-tech video setup from his palace. In a move described as "puppy diplomacy," Russia sends a puppy named Dobrynya to France to replace Diesel, the police dog killed during a raid in Saint-Denis.

1:00:59 That, you know it isn't is unclear if our president has any strategy. President Putin though did a nice little piece he this guy's I gotta tell ya he's got the cool factor down so he sitting at his desk God knows where it's all gilded He's got the gilded chairs got the flags all looking hot and shit and then he's got a big monitor on his desk with what looks like see its 12 different Skype windows a video, and that's his advisor. So he's not in some situation room down the basement now He's chilling at the palace He just brings up the screen Hey everybody how we doing? Russia launches massive strikes on Syria The intense campaign comes as Moscow confirmed reports that Islamic State was responsible for downing a plane full of Russian tourists over Sinai in Egypt killing all 224 aboard

1:01:55 As Putin checks in with military officials, he offers thanks but adds that the campaign is far from over. I want to thank all of you but i want to stress that for now it is not enough to cleanse Syria of rebels and terrorists and to protect Russians from possible terrorist attacks We face a lot of work and I hope that the next phases will be conducted at the same high level just as professionally and we'll produce the results. We've come to expect Well, I have to see what happens next but he's as cool as a cucumber Cool is a cucumber well The Russian army has always managed to

1:02:36 get the reputation as being just a bunch of A-holes. I like the word... Nobody wants to deal with it. I like the word cleanse, that's always little frightening when someone talks about cleanse. But Putin, now I have to say, uh, I don't know where he, where all his education came from but somewhere along the line, he somehow picked up the John C. Dvorak marketing methods Okay, and then this is in I'm not going to compare you to Putin. Don't worry but the guy is smart What do we do? What do we do what is the number one use of this object so-called object But it's a living thing when we want to really make people feel good about our newsletter

1:03:23 Puppies and kittens Russia says it will send a puppy to replace the police dog which perished in last week's terrorist guys In Paris the Interior Ministry in Moscow says its meant as a sign of solidarity The puppy a female is called the brinia popular folk hero in so cute diesel the dog died in a raid on an apartment in the parish suburb of Sandini where several militants were holding I'm telling you man, Putin.

This was a very good piece, although I think misunderstood or not even caught by most and this was the Catherine de Great art with the French flag over her face and i don't think most people got Catherine DeGreat as uh that even recognized her as such right? The Russian monarch who... Now she was completely crazy about

1:05:09 She was nuts over France. And she was in the late 1700's and she is the one who made all these great buildings, a lot of them in Russia are fashioned after French buildings and they tried to up the ante make it even more grand and they would exchange diplomats all the time and look at each other stuff and go oh that's great! Excellent! Would you like some more caviar? Yes we have buckets full here in Russia much more than you'll ever get in France And she was a loose wasn't you know what she loose didn't she get around or can I think so before my time?

Thanksgiving Proclamation, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln

The hosts deconstruct President Obama's 2015 Thanksgiving proclamation, comparing his narrative of the Wampanoag and settlers to historical records. They debate the origins of the holiday, noting that while Washington issued proclamations, it was Abraham Lincoln who established the modern national day of Thanksgiving. The discussion critiques the sanitized version of history presented in official government statements.

thanksgiving· barack obama· george washington· abraham lincoln· wampanoag· proclamation

1:13:48 We did have a presidential proclamation which since we won't be doing the show on Thursday live I think it is prudent to To compare the president's story of Thanksgiving to the actual story, which has been a staple of The No Agenda Show So the president does of course proclaim, this will be the 20th day on November he proclaims that for the November 26 National Day of Thanksgiving. That's the official title The National Day of Thanksgiving Now John I'll read this and you tell me where do you think the President goes astray? Ready Right there.

1:14:48 The Wampanoag helped them adjust to their new home, teaching them critical survival skills and important crop cultivation methods. After securing a bountiful harvest the settlers and Wanapapa joined in fellowship for a shared dinner to celebrate powerful traditions that are still observed at Thanksgiving today lifting one another up enjoying time with those around us and appreciating all we have." Does this sound good so far? Well you know he's...the way he's presenting it It's truthful, but...okay. I don't think it—I mean it's exaggerated of course because there wasn't like everyone was just pelling around slapping each other on the back. Well this is where they taught us how to— Hugging bro hugs! Bro hug. This is where the Indians taught us how to make sweet potatoes with marshmallow and whiskey right?

1:15:38 Carrying us through trial and triumph, this sense of decency and compassion has defined our nation. President George Washington proclaimed the first Thanksgiving in our country's nascence calling on the citizens of our fledgling democracy to place their faith in quote The Providence of Almighty God And be thankful for what is bequeathed to us Still sound good? I missed something there. You started over, play that read that part again President George Washington proclaimed the first Thanksgiving in our country's nations Wrong Well yeah I believe that, I don't think George Washington ever proclaimed a Thanksgiving. He may have but this was like something that was done on a year-to-year basis and it wasn't a con... you know they make it sound like it started with these Indians and some feast in the 1600's and every day every year since then they've been doing this. Well how about this? President Abraham Lincoln acknowledged the plight of the most vulnerable. Yeah Lincoln is the one who started them

1:16:36 It really stems to Lincoln. He declared... But it wasn't for that, Thanksgiving then was used to thank God that we you know our soldiers is for soldiers who died as if it was a celebration Well not according to this! And that's what Thanksgiving generally was, it was the celebration of dead soldiers No no, little different, the president says President Abraham Lincoln acknowledged the plight of the most vulnerable declaring a quote day of Thanksgiving on which also wait, let me finish this sentence. Let me finish this sentence. Are you heckling the president?

1:17:13 If I was in there, I'd have the duck call with me. There we go. Really? Battlefields?! And through generous donations and silent prayers, the inherent selflessness and common goodness of the American people endures. Yeah unless you're from Syria fuck you happy Thanksgiving don't want you don't want you at Thanksgiving um we're very thankful that there's no Syrians that's how America thinks now ladies and gentlemen so John uh

John C. Dvorak, Thanksgiving Yam Recipe and Heat Gloves

John C. Dvorak shares a detailed recipe for Thanksgiving yams involving baking, scooping, and mixing with butter, heavy cream, bourbon, and maple syrup. He emphasizes the use of specialized heat-resistant gloves to handle the hot yams directly from the oven. The segment includes a brief discussion on turkey preparation and the trend of "shoving butter under the skin."

yams· bourbon· maker's mark· emeril lagasse· heat gloves· thanksgiving

1:17:59 I think, uh...I need from you just briefly if possible the perfect Dvorak turkey. I don't have one. I always experiment, I never make turkey the same way twice. What are you doing? I'm going to give a recipe but it's the recipe for yams or sweet potatoes as you might call them but they're generally yams and this is a recipe that's dynamite. Is this the Maker's Mark recipe? Yeah. Dynamite. This is not my recipe. This is from Emeril Lagasse and first time I had it I said, My God why am I making the yams any other way So you bake some yams for about an hour and a half, then you cut them open. Hold on! Bake them... what's the oven setting? 375? 375 is fine. And do I wrap them in foil? Make sure to poke some holes with just a knife and put a couple of gouges in top of thing. Not in foil it was just there. Just put it in there. Ah, foil. Then you never can get the skin off. You want the skin to crisp up so that you can pull it off. No no, I'm just asking questions. Yeah, I know, but I am angry about it too.

1:19:00 Clearly you're very annoyed by my questions. No, these questions are good though that's a good question okay but I'm not gonna say that i'm going to get irked about it instead oh good oh that way it adds to the importance of the answer Oh My God if he did that you'd all die I'm drooling. Go, continue! You bake the... 375, right? A couple of years. It takes about an hour to an hour and a half. I give it more time than less because as it overcooks... But now the juice will start... The juice will come out and there's a lot of sugar formed Now, I have a new trick that I added this year. You can buy these at... Oh my gosh! Can you see that juice? Sorry, I'm just looking at the juice. So I went to ...I got from Christmas last year couple of interesting gifts that are bought from China One are these gloves you can wear that are not like chain mauled but they're made out of some plastic so when your using a mandolin or some cutting device and you happen to catch your finger Yeah The gloves will protect you

1:20:02 And they're thin, so they're not like a chain-mall glove or anything. The other gloves are these...they look like just cotton gloves but they're not asbestos but you can pick them up and grab the hottest thing. You can't hold it forever. So they're flexible? They're like chain mail kind of? There's two kinds, one is to keep it from getting cut which is a different glove. This is a heat glove and it looks like a cotton glove. It doesn't look like anything special but the couple of cotton gloves but you can grab hot crap right out of the oven with your hands and put it down. Well these gloves allow me to do something that I've never been able to do with this recipe that I'm describing to cook the yams which is I can now grab the bottom of the yam

1:20:49 and hold it. If I had done this under any other circumstance, it would...I'd have a third degree burn because these yams hold heat as anyone knows who works with the yams. They burn hotter than coal, I'm told? So you cut it, and then you grab a big spoon and you spoon out all the insides that you can without getting any of the skin which should be kind of crispy into a bowl. And you put maybe three or four yams in there how many do you want to do? Right. And so you get all this goo. It should be so cooked with a whisk. Now what about the skin? You gotta take the skin off? No, you scoop out from the skin and throw the skin away.

1:21:28 The skin is hot. The skin, well yes the whole yam is extremely hot and if you can do this without these gloves but it's very...it's not easy. But with the gloves holy mackerel! It's fantastic I just made that the reason I say that because I just did this yesterday So you get the, you put the pile of yams and it should be like so soft that you can whisk them with just a regular whisk and fluff them up like mashed potatoes if you want to. But what you add is this is just the simplest ingredients. You could put little salt in there but I don't do it. You add, I dunno couple teaspoons depends on say you got four yams maybe half a cube of butter European butter preferred of course. I always like to add a little bit of yogurt? Yeah for this recipe we use yogurt

1:22:16 We're fine. So you add, the problem I have... I won't talk about it but this is my recipe you can do it your way. Keep going! I know what's next. You put a bunch of butter in there and then you put almost an equal amount of cream like full heavy cream and then you probably can put up as much bourbon as you have to taste. Do you want a bourbony bourbon? So any one of the good bourbons. Maker's Mark is what I've used. Maker's Mark is a good one I last used a George DeKalb, the single barrel. Beautiful job! Put a bunch of bourbon in there and then just to round it out little bit some maple syrup

1:22:56 Not pancakes or maple syrup. And then you take the whisk and you'll whisk it up so it's like just kind of like a very fluffy product, and then you serve that up. It is absolute dynamite! I actually added a little more bourbon at the end. You can add bourbon into it if you want more of a bourbony flavor. It's fantastic! That is the dish of the day. Once you have this dish, you'll go why am I cooking this? Great product. Yeah so what i always do with Thanksgiving is make this exact recipe except that use yogurt instead of the heavy cream and then I always make my famous stuffing which is a stove top put into my own bowl and lie and it really works people love that oh man the stuffing is so great yeah its family recipe So I recommend everybody would you know if I showed up with stove-top you wouldn't know I would You know why no because you already told me

1:23:51 It's just a thought. But I don't have a recipe for turkey that i can just wrap out a lot. You look it up there, I thought maybe you'd have one? My daughter is going to be in Port Angeles for Thanksgiving my daughter's cooking

1:24:32 turkey for the first time for everybody down here. And she's giving me recipes that she's... Can she cook? Is she good, is she a good cooker? She's a baker! Oh really good baker but as a cook you know we'll see how that works out But she gave me one recipe about all the fat The idea of shoving a bunch of fat and stuff inside under the skin on her heritage turkey or butter I saw two years ago it was very popular in all the TV shows Every TV cook to come out and shove butter under the skin. Hmm I just that would be something I do oh my god sounds right I Just shove some butter in there everything like water, but come on all right All right That's your Thanksgiving yam recipe everybody you can add it to the many recipes here on The Best Podcasting Universe

Barack Obama, ASEAN Meeting and Balkan Border Closures

President Obama appears "hammered" or extremely tired during a press conference at the ASEAN meeting in Malaysia, where he vows to be "relentless" against terrorists. Meanwhile, tighter border controls in the Balkans cause massive traffic jams and strand thousands of migrants at the Greek-Macedonian frontier. The media is criticized for using repetitive "b-roll" footage that fails to capture the true scale of the migrant movement.

barack obama· asean· malaysia· balkan borders· refugees· hungary

1:25:24 And cookbook one of these things. I think the president was in Malaysia, I think he already started to sample some of your yams. Drunk or not drunk? I don't know if he's really tired... Did you hear him?! Just listen to this like the 15 seconds here. Meeting with ASEAN. With allies and partners The United States will be relentless against those who target our citizens. Relentless! Do you hear him go relentless? Yeah, he said relentless We'll continue to root out terrorist networks. I don't know, like he was... He might be right! I never thought of this. Maybe he had a cupboard and couple of lewds or something. It was really... Meeting with ASEAN With allies and partners the United States will be relentless against those who target our citizens. Relentless citizens! Citizens! I think hammered. Hammered for sure. Totally hammered. Yeah sad

1:26:19 Let's see, check in with the migrant situation in the EU lands? We have lots of problems, lots and lots of problems. Everybody closing down borders... The Balkans is where now all the refugees are stacked up and stopped and can't come in." The knock-on effect of tighter border controls in the Balkans is starting to show Here in Romania a 7km traffic jam resulted in hours of delays for travellers attempting to cross the frontier into Hungary Border police say the measures, introduced one week after the Paris attacks are in response to possible threats. Authorities believe at least one of the Paris suicide bombers travelled a known migrant route into Europe via Greece From there those making the journey move north into the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia but it is now only allowing entry to migrants from Iraq Syria and Afghanistan Samaritans from Nepal

1:27:15 Thousands from countries not recognized as war zones are stranded at the border and tempers are starting to fray. On Saturday morning on the Greek side of the frontier, riot police pushed back huge crowds attempting to cross over and continue north It loses a lot without the video it's really just see the video what's happening here People yeah, there's there's becoming a collection of b-roll that is just and it's just being used over and over for sure but it's fantastic especially the one my favorite one where you have like a six across stream of people six across or five across But as wide and it goes to the horizon. Yeah, they're all I'm just kind of slowly moving It's the damnedest thing I've ever seen

Nicholas Kristof, Syrian Refugee Polls and Saudi Financing

New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof compares opposition to Syrian refugees to the 1939 refusal to admit Jewish children, invoking "Godwin's Law." A Bloomberg poll shows 53% of Americans oppose taking in 10,000 Syrian refugees. Additionally, reports surface that Saudi Arabia has the highest number of ISIS supporters on Twitter, while Hillary Clinton calls for Arab nations to stop their citizens from funding extremists.

nicholas kristof· bloomberg poll· syrian refugees· saudi arabia· twitter· hillary clinton

1:28:01 And something you don't see more than probably once in a lifetime. Stuff like this is incredibly rare and obviously the media's underserving most at really understanding and seeing what is happening Don Lemon on CNN had Clooney's handler on, isn't it Nicholas Kristoff? Isn't that Clooney's handler I think so. Yeah, including Taylor is it? Oh that's the other guy that funny-looking care Sounds like that though well Kristoff is the New York Times right he said but isn't he must be some kind of I don't know. Oh yeah, but well you can tell by listening to him sure yes, I think he might be um He's obviously been sent in to demonize anyone who was against allowing Syria this whole conversation about Making sure they're only Christians not Muslims which is kind of the same what Isis does it's kind of cool like with me if you say your Christian boom here as we say your ISIS boom is We're all a part of the war now

1:29:01 But he brought it right there. He brought it to Godwin's law. I mentioned before this poll, it is a Bloomberg poll that finds 53% of adults polled say they don't want the 10,000 Syrian refugees that the U.S. has planned to bring here and said they take only 28%, only 28% say it would be okay and 11% say they take only Christians. An idea President Obama has said is shameful Is this really surprising? Shameful. This almost exactly matches up a poll in January 1939 of whether or not to admit 10,000 mostly Jewish children into the U.S., and it was again two-to-one saying no we shouldn't. And in retrospect we clearly acknowledge that was a shameful period in American history. So everyone who is for that legislation or wants to have a conversation... They hate Jews! Hitler! Clearly Nazi Jew haters yeah

1:29:58 Yeah. Oh, it's fabulous now when I saw that come out and then they play everyone played as a meme It was like you know the whole all the liberal media played the same stupid meme I was rolling an eye roller well something interesting is happening We're seeing more and more people point towards The finance years of a lot of terror which of course is Saudi Arabia Qatar We now have reports coming out in mainstream news. It's okay, it's your own news but Saudi Arabia has the largest number of ISIL supporters on Twitter How about that metric huh? I mean could Twitter use that in their financial...in their quarterly call Hey everybody great queue yeah was really great Yeah hey thanks for calling in Yes well one of our metrics our new metrics is now a number of ISIL supporter who have accounts and we're way above everybody else We are kicking Facebook ass

1:30:50 They could, yeah. That'd be a great metric. It could! But now of all people to hear Hillary Clinton go after the Saudis and their financing of terror... Oh you know why? Tell me why. To gouge them for more money, of course. She was at the Council on Foreign Relations. She gouged...they had Clinton Foundation they have close to $1 billion in maybe more I could be wrong in Saudi money. So I think what she did here... They barely didn't pay their quarter lease I think what she did here is she chose CFR specifically because it gets a lot less press and you know, they don't have a bunch of people going crazy for Hillary. It doesn't have the backdrop that the press likes to pull up a quote from so here's a less than a minute but very clear She saying these guys are problem And as the no agenda thinking goes they're probably gonna have to pony up to the Clinton Foundation to get her stopped ultimately our

Fethullah Gulen Movement, Turkish Campaign Donations and "Killing Ed"

USA Today investigates questionable campaign donations linked to the Fethullah Gulen movement, involving Turkish-Americans donating to US politicians like Senator Kelly Ayotte. The movement, which operates over 100 US charter schools, is accused of using "strategic ambiguity" to recycle teacher salaries into political contributions. Filmmaker Mark Hall's documentary "Killing Ed" is cited as a resource for understanding the movement's influence.

fethullah gulen· turkey· kelly ayotte· charter schools· killing ed· mark hall

1:31:45 Your efforts will only succeed if the Arabs and Turks step up in a much bigger way. This is their fight and they need to act like it. So far, however, Turkey has been more focused on the Kurds than on countering ISIS and once and for all the Saudis, the Qataris and others need to stop... The Qataris? But she said Qataris! Isn't it Qataries? Yeah, she did Qataris. Saudis, the Qataris and others... These must be high Need to stop their citizens from directly funding extremist organizations, as well as the schools and mosques around the world that have set too many young people on a path to radicalization. I want to stop there for a second... That's gonna change! Well yet another article in USA Today who seemed to be the only outfit really reporting on this about the Gulen movement

1:32:44 funding free trips to Turkey for lawmakers in all over the U.S., but certainly the state of Texas... Including that woman, or friend? Yeah Barbara Jackson Lee, Jackson Lee. The USA Today has identified dozens of large campaign donations now attributed to people with modest incomes or from people who had little knowledge of whom they had given or from people who could not be located at all All the donors appear to have ties to a Turkish religious movement named for its founder, Fethullah Gulen. Not like they'd report that he's in Pennsylvania at the CIA's bequest. Well, little details they leave out you know what are you gonna do? So top of the list here is Senator Kelly Ayotte who at one point we thought might be a candidate for presidential run

1:33:39 Well, but she can't talk. She's an idiot. She's the nervous one I never thought she was ever gonna have run for president person of some of the 19 Turkish Americans donating to aote All lived outside New Hampshire seems know little about the first term senator who was a woman so they've tracked a couple these people down Iman Cezary said he's a good guy. He's doing good so far Kelly is a guy's name Well, no. Kelly Iode is a her! Yeah, but Kelly's the guy's name. So if you don't know who the hell she is you'd think it was a guy? And that's a 30 year old...

1:34:17 Let's see, Nassau County employee in Long Island who gave Ayot $1200 to a woman he thought is a dude. I just like what he said at the time wanted to make it donation said Hayati Kamlica who owns a Long Island auto repair shop who donated 2400 to Ayot on the same day five of the Turkish Americans who donate to Ayot that day could not be located at all In some cases neither could the employer listed in the federal commission records Oh man, I hope someone really likes- where's Gregg Greenwald on this? Someone needs to really dive into this stuff. So all of these campaign donations coming from Turkey! These guys are evil! Well that could also be a setup because they're out to get her

1:35:08 Aote, yeah. And this could be Dirty Tricks. Hillary has 20 seconds left. And USA Today is not really... like you said they don't bother mentioning that it's a CIA compound he's staying in Pennsylvania now. None of that! That's not mentioned so this whole article may be part of the entire Dirty Tricks process to besmirch Kelly Aote I don't know that she's standing up for Turkey or doing anything to do with that part of the world, uh...that she would be getting these donations in the first place. Well listen to this- Did she get one of the trips? That's not in this article but more than- She didn't get one of the trips then this is bullshit More than two dozen other candidates and lawmakers across the political spectrum received Gulen link donations which you've only heard on The No Agenda Show pretty much Uh..uhh they appear questionable including Clinton and Jeb Bush

1:36:00 The movement runs more than 100 charter schools and dozens of Turkish cultural centers and intercultural dialogue, I think they should have said interfaith dialogue groups around the country. Employees move around among the schools among the non-profit groups so it's hard to keep track of those uh...of who is working where at any given time um..the feature of the Gülen Movement has been called strategic ambiguity and it makes it impossible to trace the root source of funding for any Gulen activities. Many teachers, administrators at the movements Harmony Horizon and other charter schools have provided one-time $1,000 or $2,000 contributions amounts that are usually associated with wealthier donors what happens is they get much higher pay than their American counterparts who are usually very young fresh new teachers

1:36:47 And what I believe is happening is they take that money and then they recycle that by, you know... They're supposed to donate X amount to whatever they're told to do. Right! You just get paid more than them but then more you get paid has to go Has to go to whoever it's designated Yeah This is a scandal of epic proportions Yeah It's pretty bad Well Killing Ed is the movie That's Mark Hall's movie Killing Ed KillingEdFilm.com Look it up He's documenting this Just the beginning Just the beginning Here's 20 more seconds of Hillary. And I think that the Saudis have a multiple level of responsibilities, first and foremost stopping their own citizens from continuing the financing for extremists and you know Saudi financing is still a major source of revenue for terrorist groups inside Syria inside Iraq. Hello? Hello hello hello it's just Hillary Clinton campaign!

CHAPTER 27 / 45 Discussion

Hawala Financing System, ISIS Wealth and Bitcoin

A report explains the "Hawala" system, an ancient and opaque money transfer network used in the Muslim world and India to move funds without physical cash. ISIS reportedly utilizes this illegal but widespread system to bypass international banking regulations and dodge taxes. The hosts speculate that governments may eventually target Bitcoin and blockchain technology by associating them with terrorist financing.

hawala· isis· india· money laundering· bitcoin· blockchain

1:37:46 Yeah. Abdullah Mabula, Abdullah Al-Bakta al-Bakta. What is she talking about? Talking about with Armani going to her... You know that was just a mistake You know, we... you know what happens is that she gets a report. She's a very emotional woman you gotta be careful I don't... she's got to... I know she's very emotional! She has bump ahead... She got the morning report, she get the morning briefing and apparently there was something like a fall off in donations from you guys that was like... What are you talking? Well, you're down like a quarter of $1 million. Oh no I'm sorry 250 million dollars. You're down a quarter of a billion dollars on your yearly's. Send me... where my spreadsheet? She thinks that you are abandoning her and it just blew up. It is just the way it goes. I mean I don't know why have you given up. Give me Bill! Give me Bill! Bill understand much better. Bill is not here.

1:38:47 He's in the de-aging chamber. He's in a hyperbaric chamber he can't be removed from. I wonder if she gets the call or he does? Bill probably takes it by Betty does I Think I think you guys are a little behind so we're talking about financing. I do want to play this clip and get out of the way now This is a clip from the third from the Thursday show that remember 19th show And I'm gonna check your team if you can look it up the clip is called Hawala H awa la hawala hawala We are going to the system

1:39:28 Yes, play it now. Now let me set it up that this is one of the financing systems I can't say it The financing systems that are used in the Arab and Muslim world Oh yeah the Hawa... Okay yes I recognize them And this is a report where they're using it in India and gets everybody all pissed off Apart from the cyber fight against IS governments are also trying to cripple its finances A hard task. It's the richest terrorist group in the world and it uses an ancient payment system known as Hawala. It is illegal in many countries but actually widespread Here's just one example of how it works in everyday business Being a real estate agent opens doors to new heights, but also puts Akash Agarwal in a precarious position His customers prefer using Hawala which is illegal in India

1:40:23 The buyers use a network of money brokers without actually moving the cash. And because it doesn't go through the regular channels, the payments dodge taxes leaving governments out-of-pocket — the equivalent to billions in lost revenue. Rather than transferring funds directly, the Hawala system uses middlemen A buyer gives the money to a local Hawala broker, who then contacts another middleman close to the seller. This second contact then pays the seller directly. The transfer is quick and there's no record. This system is widely used in Muslim countries In some nations many poor people rely on hawala because it's often cheaper and more reliable than traditional banks so many don't see anything wrong with it

1:41:13 How can people say this is illegal? It helps and supports poor people. Minimal costs bring maximum efficiency. Since the system is opaque, it also provides a way to mask money transfers to fund criminal activities and it's also used by terrorist groups to move money around. I don't understand Why don't these guys use Bitcoin? Oh? Sorry was that your punchline Why don't they use bitcoin it sounds like bit going to me. I think that's what this is gonna happen Bitcoin is going too well We'll see we're gonna see what became the blockchain, but it's really made of because they're going after it oh

CHAPTER 28 / 45 Discussion

Telegram App, ISIS Communication and Rita Katz

The messaging app Telegram, based in Berlin, moves to shut down channels used by ISIS for propaganda and recruitment. Security experts like Bruce Schneier have previously questioned the app's safety compared to alternatives like Signal. The hosts note that ISIS claimed responsibility for the Paris attacks via Telegram, though they remain skeptical of reports originating from Rita Katz's SITE Intelligence Group.

telegram· bruce schneier· isis· rita katz· encryption· berlin

1:41:59 Because this, you watch. This will be the... oh! They finance it through Bitcoin If you have some kind of bitcoin traffic running on your machine... Ooh we may have to... I don't know not good Not good Yeah we have now the Reuters talking about some of the ISIS technology that's being used and of course they're going back to the well on Telegram They push Telegram as though it's owned by the CIA. I think that may be the point. I mean, they are really pushing Telegram! Oh and then they use Telegram... They're all using Telegram! We went to Telegram for some reason or other just to play with it? No we immediately got...we were talking about it and we immediately got uh-uh do not use telegram Bruce Schneier...Schneir...Schein...Schneir...Schnerr

1:42:50 Bruce the security guy? Bruce the goose yeah. He said not safe, you signal but he said signal but no telegram let's just listen to the report because your right I think they want them to use this and they want everybody to use this please use this because we can get in Mobile messaging app Telegram is racing to shut down broadcast channels used by the militants The Berlin-based company says it's closed 78 IS related channels in 12 languages on its site. Interesting, I didn't realize it was a Berlin company that adds an interesting twist for international relations. Comey what you gonna do with that? Of course is BND that sitting on the inside of this app but the group continues to create more

1:43:35 Security researchers say the encrypted service is being used to spread propaganda and recruit members. It was also the way IS claimed responsibility for the Paris attacks last Friday." Yeah, and they show this message which doesn't say we take responsibility because we knew that- We know the person who took responsibility was Rita Katz with their own version of a Twitter message I don't think she had anything about Telegram so I wish they could get their reporting straight. It's making efforts to block public channels used by Islamic State but wants to protect freedom of expression The service is used very widely around the world often by people who have something they fear from their government political dissidents or podcasters. Telegram wants to keep those channels open for those people Islamic state is exploiting that and telegram is finding it hard to strike a balance between those two audiences yeah, audiences

1:44:33 I think we need to keep our eye on Telegram. Oh, I didn't realize that was a German company. Well, it could be the German intelligence group working with us. Could be? You don't know. It could be. But it's...I wouldn't...I'd be careful. Now here play this one too because this is when I get this stuff out of the way about ISIL financing. This another old one. This will be looked up under D capital W interesting report Hold on. Interesting report about ISIL financing? Yes.

CHAPTER 29 / 45 Discussion

ISIS Oil Revenue, G20 Funding and Looted Artifacts

Deutsche Welle reports that ISIS earns approximately $1 million per day from captured oil and gas fields, with some of the oil potentially being sold to G20 member Turkey. The group also generates revenue through a 20% tax on local economic activity and the sale of looted archaeological artifacts. The hosts describe ISIS as a "criminal organization" that functions like a state-within-a-state with its own currency.

isis· oil· g20· turkey· artifacts· deutsche welle

1:45:15 In response, world leaders have said they want to fight Islamic State not just with military force but also on a financial level. It's an extremely tricky situation given what Russian President Vladimir Putin told the group of 20 leading economies yesterday or rather what he didn't say without disclosing names He said funding for IS comes from sources in about 40 countries including several members of the G20 The militants also generate their own cash but then they have to buy all their equipment from someone Kurdish troops captured these weapons and vehicles belonging to the Islamic State IS apparently acquired American and Japanese pickup trucks the old-fashioned way by paying for them in cash An estimated 40% of the old fashioned way what happened is 0% APR and $2,000 cash back I

1:46:06 Hey, hey! Where's my cash back? I was 0% APR. Where is my cash back?! Belonging to the Islamic State IS apparently acquired American and Japanese pickup trucks the old-fashioned way by paying for them in cash An estimated 40 percent of the money comes from oil and gas fields captured by IS This propaganda video shows a takeover of a natural gas plant in Syria IS is said to earn some 1 million dollars a day selling oil The G20 wants to cut off this source of revenue. I question, have we really checked that $1 million a day in oil? Have you done any research on that? Yes Is that accurate the 1 million a day? It's close to accurate yes But the oil passes through middlemen and other countries and is hard to track Oh really?! Where is this report from

1:46:56 DW Deutsche Welle so it's hard to track you. It's hard to track the they can't track anything with trucks Driving through the desert well, they bomb them now, but it's not the same experts expect even Just stop this for a second I wonder it was interesting that there was a report recently and had their guys yakking about something in there Back, they have one of the trucks But it was obviously a brand new Mitsubishi. And they had Mitsubishi painted across the back in very bright red letters. We're good too! We have trucks too... We have trucks, really good trucks are Mitsubishis Oil passes through middlemen and other countries and is hard to track Experts suspect even G20 member Turkey might be a buyer

1:47:41 In addition, IS has formed a kind of state within the state in Syria and Iraq. It has created its own currency and even collects taxes. So the Islamic State... This is the gold dinar again. ...imposes roughly 20% tax on all economic activity now that includes Everything from agriculture to electricity production, mobile phone networks and internet. So cracking down on that would be very difficult and if you did it's likely to have a very significant impact on the local population which might actually be counterproductive." Locals who live near archaeological sites under IS control help sell those looted artifacts that aren't destroyed

1:48:26 another source of revenue for the Islamic State. But money also arrives from Europe in the form of donations from radical Muslim supporters. Western intelligence sources say that until recently funding had been coming for years from countries such as Qatar and even Saudi Arabia, which is also a G20 member. Private donations are believed to continue but now the G20 wants to end all outside financing find and freeze IS accounts around the world They can't with the system they have. These guys are quadruple dipping, they're stealing the oil money, they're getting as much as they can, they're taxing the public, they've set up cell phone operations and their overcharging... They are just rolling in dough! This is a money-making... this is just like you setup shop

1:49:11 You can pull this off, you steal everything. You take the artifacts and sell them to all the western buyers. There's nobody... What can I get? Tapestry is much cheaper than what you'll get anywhere else. Best price! So best price. These guys are just... They're raping the public, they're raping the people. They are stealing everything they can. They've already robbed the banks. This is a criminal organization, the likes of which we have never seen. And which apparently... Which is probably why it's run by you know, the Pentagon and CIA. It's astonishing! It was very good. Well what is interesting to me if we look at the European side right now is Belgium

CHAPTER 30 / 45 Discussion

Brussels Lockdown, Molenbeek and Arms Smuggling

Brussels enters a maximum security lockdown as authorities hunt for Paris attack suspect Salah Abdeslam, believed to be hiding in the Molenbeek district. Counter-intelligence experts note that porous European borders have allowed military-grade weapons from the Balkans to flood into Belgium. A report suggests that French jihadists source weapons from Belgium because Belgian criminal networks lack the "moral" barriers found in French gangs.

brussels· molenbeek· belgium· schengen· arms smuggling· balkan weapons

1:49:57 And by the way, this is the only news outlet who will correctly pronounce the word Molenbeek. That is how you pronounce the town. Molenbeek? Molenbeek. Exactly! Yeah but what do we hear every time? Molenbeek. In the town of Molenbeek! No, Molenbeek. Take a little time to learn how to pronounce it And of course I lived in Belgium, although I lived in Antwerp but I certainly have been to Brussels. I've been to Molenbeek actually and we've known... well what? They didn't have a government for what five years how long were those guys without a government remember that? Didn't seem to make a difference there Well the difference is now you have every... and Brussels this is where the EU sits! This is the capital of the EU

1:50:40 And all this crap is going down in their backyard. What is going on in Brussels? Well, we're still stuck indoors. Brussels remains on lockdown as the hunt continues for a fugitive suspect of the Paris attacks who remains at large The streets in the normally bustling Belgian capital are eerily quiet Brussels and its region have been placed on the maximum level of security alert The alarm was raised when intelligence suggested a heavily armed Salah Abdel Slam had returned to the city following the attacks A week ago. The 26 year old is believed to be hiding in the area I mean at this point don't you almost just think that? The EU and everyone all the diplomats who were there or the whole infrastructure Maybe Isis is working for those guys

1:51:28 How can you have all this happening right in the EU command central backyard? It's ludicrous. It really is, it's insane how this can take place. The border is closing is something that will probably have to happen, or maybe I should look at it the other way. The European Union Open Borders project, the Schengen area which is now going to be drastically reduced and perhaps closed down altogether resulted in something that you could have kind of expected if you had your head on straight And we're thinking before we came up with this grand project, if it's all going to be beautiful. All these cultures and if the borders are open well then stuff happens like this... Military-grade arms have flooded into the country almost impossible to keep track of It is very difficult uh..to have a real This is Paris, a Paris counterintelligence expert Control over arms and there are thousands of arms flowing again from the Balkans from Eastern Europe

1:52:29 because of the porous borders also that exist in those countries. After their shootings, most of the attackers blew themselves up using suicide belts all of them identically manufactured a clue The expert says that the devices were made abroad these belts were made by professional and we know, by experience that we don't have such a person here in France. So obviously it came from abroad." Jean, uh... That's interesting! We don't have a person that can do that in France so they know that? That's odd. Jean-Paul Ney has researched extremist groups in France and says almost all of them source their weapons from Belgium for a simple reason, French criminal gangs won't sell rifles to jihadists This guy is pretty funny he's like he's like a gangster who has some legit business consulting but he talks completely like a gangster and in the weapons trade They don't want to have a problem with the counter terrorist police you know

1:53:30 Because if you start to have the highs of the counter-terrorist police on your business, it's over for you. The French jihadists get their weapons from Belgium because in Belgium is different than France There is no walls concrete walls between criminality and Jihadism I like that that the French armed smugglers have a sense of morality. We don't do that for jihadis, man. But in Belgium the criminals and the jihadis are all the same? All the same thing

CHAPTER 31 / 45 Discussion

Paris Terror Drills, SAMU and "Call of Duty"

The director of the French emergency medical service (SAMU) reveals that a multi-site terror attack drill was conducted on the morning of the Paris attacks, allowing for a rapid response. Dr. Pellew of the medical team compares the real-world violence to the video game "Call of Duty," which he calls a "stupid game." The hosts highlight the "extraordinary coincidence" of the drill occurring on the same day as the actual event.

paris· samu· terror drill· charlie hebdo· call of duty· dr. pellew

1:54:06 Something else that we had picked up immediately, that there was yet again with one of these big events. There was a drill going on and it was a drill for exactly this...and I put in the show notes a compilation of the director of the SAMU or it's kind of like the hospital and emergency services director. And he was on every French talk show—it's all subtitled—where he saying you know You know, wow it was so great this coincidence that we had just done a drill the same day that very morning. So we were all ready and knew what to do! And you can hear these news broadcasters and interviewers going, Wow how lucky are you guys?

1:54:44 Kind of the opposite of the no agenda thinking. Yeah, and so just to prove that really was a coincidence I think not. Now BBC Radio 4 had a guy on...I don't know if it was the director but he adds a little twist to the fortunateness of having this drill Dr. Pellew thinks that he and his team saved perhaps 50 lives on Friday night Perhaps in part, and this is extraordinary because he was preparing for what happened only a few hours before the attacks began. We worked to a scenario of attack

1:55:21 We know since Charlie Hebdo and Hippie Kacha, they take Kalashnikov and they kill everybody like in Call of Duty. You know the game? Stupid game! So in the morning we have this exercise... So exactly what happened on the very same day Yes fantastic And he's bringing up Call Of Duty?! For a doctor that was interesting It was just like Call Of Duty That is interesting We need to keep our eye on that. And then the biggest lie... Let's put the simulators to work, to train people so when that real deal happens you actually have some built-in way of responding that is accurate I liked his comment though, stupid game! Stupid game Why? Why is it a stupid game What do yo play if its a stupid game

CHAPTER 32 / 45 Discussion

Chemical Attack Fears, Atropine and Sarin Gas

French authorities express concern over potential chemical attacks, leading hospitals near Versailles to stock military-grade atropine as a nerve gas antidote. The report references the 2013 sarin gas attack in Damascus, which the State Department attributed to the Assad regime. The hosts dispute the official narrative of the 2013 attack, citing academic investigations that suggested rebel involvement.

chemical weapons· atropine· sarin gas· damascus· versailles· nerve gas

1:56:21 Anyway, we don't need to be worried about suicide vests or Kalashnikovs anymore. No! We're ratcheting it up one more notch After the carnage of the Paris terror attacks French authorities fear in the future terrorists could go even further Possibly launching chemical attack Yes Well the possibility appears remote The government is ordering first responders It's remote but yes But yet still we're gonna bring it up and scare you all And the French government is getting ready for it Be prepared At this hospital near Versailles, dr. Francois grandin is upgrading the actor Francois Don't rapine stock an anti serum for nerve gas atropine I look this up Yeah, this atrophy new familiar with atropine oh yeah It's not really

1:57:09 like an antidote or anything for chemical warfare. It just jerks up your system and pushes off the toxin? Yeah, it does two things... From what I understand from it decreases... well first of all, it amps up your... what is it?... oh inhibits the parasympathetic nervous system I guess it affects your nerve system somehow so that it won't propagate any nerve gas and slows your heart rate. Like a zombie. Yeah, like a zombie! Before we had a civilian dosage he says but from now on we will use military-grade atropine it's more concentrated and easier to use in case of such an attack Atropine is used for instance in cases of sarin poisoning Sarin gas was used in the massive attack in Syria's capital Damascus in 2013

1:58:08 killing around 1,400 people according to the State Department. Yeah and of course we know that... We know who really did that it was the rebels! That gas attack Or, or do we follow the narrative that that was Assad's gas? Because you can't have it both ways. You can say... Well they keep- you know, might as well give up I mean its been proven those rockets were not Assad rockets by academia, investigators and everybody in between but we cannot resist because the phony narrative used to embarrass Obama because of the red line crossed

1:58:49 We keep hearing this crap, the same thing over and over from every official. The gas attack! The gas attack!" And we can't resist it because there's just too much of it. There are so many people... It's like with the global warming thing. You're being hounded and hounded. You just can't do much about even though they've more resistance with that I noticed a couple cool things that happened recently about global warming and some of the fudging the numbers again. We just can't resist doing that we're gonna talk about that but You know, it's hopeless these guys are in control And and again, we have the story ramping up about what is that drug? It's like an amphetamine That the fighters like that they need in order to oh kept his cap as something capped again captain Captagon Captain got a captive got a gun captive gone

CHAPTER 33 / 45 Discussion

Captagon, Jihadi Adderall and Trey Gowdy

ISIS fighters reportedly use Captagon, a "run-of-the-mill" amphetamine described as "Jihadi Adderall," to maintain energy and aggression during combat. The hosts discuss the drug's composition and its similarity to the banned weight-loss drug Fen-Fen. They also critique a recent "rant" by Representative Trey Gowdy regarding the "premeditated depravity" of terrorists, questioning his effectiveness as a political figure.

captagon· amphetamines· trey gowdy· jihadi adderall· fen-fen· vox

1:59:40 And I was reminded... You know, I never looked up what's in that stuff. It sounds like an amphetamine to me. Yeah, it think it's a Adderall. It's Jihadi Adderall. Jihadi Adderall? Captagon let's see. Which is just Amphetamines. Yeah, Captagon ISIS favorite Amphetamine this is from Vox so you knew that its true Let's see what does it called well everyone's talking about this now Captagon. Its mostly a run-of-the-mill Amphetamine there ya go I thought it was fenethylene. You know, the phen-ethylene... phenethylene or whatever it's called which is also called fenfen. You know that pharmaceuticals is your beat but yes phenethylene also spelled with a ph or with an F known as amphetamineothelopalicantinpetaleline

2:00:36 of amphetamine and theopiline, which behaves as a prodrug to both the aforementioned drugs. It's a hamburger helper. It's an amper, yeah! ISIS hamburger helper! It's an amp for the fen-fen But I had to think of this when I heard Trey Gowdy railing because...I don't like Trey Gowdy anymore He has become annoying. I think he is a stooge for the other side. He may be and here this rant just caught that actually one of our producers caught it for me Terrorists took the lives over 100 innocent people in France and injured many more for no other reason than the fact that they could. They killed a hundred because they couldn't kill 1,000 and their objective is evil for the sake of evil it is murder for the sake of murder It is wanton and willful violence premeditated depravity Pre-medicated?

2:01:31 Did he say premeditated? Pre-medicated, premeditated depravity. How do you have premeditated depravity? You're either depraved or not. Because he's thinking about it because the truth wants to come out and medicated of course is we got a look into this uh this captagon maybe it makes you all jihadi Well, that's what they claim. That's what I've heard claimed on certain radio talk shows. I'm willing to try if we can get some does anyone have any? It's FinFen just gives you the internet sells it. FinFEN?! Yeah! That is what it's called. Haven't you ever gotten... when I before I stopped getting spam yeah I used to get these you get this you just had put just Google here Fenfen? Yeah PHEN PHEN

2:02:25 Okay, or no of our P. You know FEN FEN where you can get it? Yeah Oh FEN FEN here fen-fen f e n p h en safety update drug information So you can just buy this over the counter that seems unlike I really get it over the counter But she can get it well does anybody have some I'm willing to take one for the team oh Well, you'd probably have to take 10. Well it seems like those guys are taking 10! They're just downing these things and running around... But what if this was a drug that really did something? What if there's been an engineer- Yeah maybe he turned jihadi that would make the show interesting! Yeah alright send it to the PO box I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah they'd be fab On NO AGENDA

CHAPTER 34 / 45 Discussion

Producer Credits, Mile High Club and Birthday Wishes

The hosts read a long list of donations from "Baronets," "Knights," and "Dames" of the No Agenda Show, acknowledging contributions ranging from $50 to several hundred dollars. They clarify the "Mile High Club" donation tiers, which are based on Boeing aircraft numbers like the 747 and 787. Birthday wishes are extended to producer Justin Geiger, who turns 34 on November 27th.

CHAPTER 35 / 45 Discussion

Value-for-Value Model, Advertising vs. Producer Support

Adam and John defend their "value-for-value" funding model, arguing that mentioning individual producers is not the same as taking corporate advertising from companies like General Electric. They note that other podcasters like Tom Merritt and Jen Briney have adopted similar models. The segment concludes with a formal knighting ceremony for Crash EMT, accompanied by a series of requested show jingles.

2:09:35 Yes, well it's all for the cause. It is indeed all for the cause And everybody appreciates it We have a lot of supporters that we really like to thank for keeping this show I mean the show was produced by the supporters All the people that help us out on these donations We don't do anything else, we don't double dip, we don't advertise and then ask for money It's ridiculous So you asked for money and your still compromised We ask for money because we don't want to be compromised under any circumstances about anything, so we can take advertising. We do have people complain about this. Oh! You're advertising all these people it's the same thing? No it's not. No I don't have to meet with them Having general electric advertise is not the same as mentioning you know Justin Geiger in Frankfort Kentucky It's not the same

2:10:24 And it's always nice to see that this model is catching on. You know, we have... what was it? Tom Merritt always thanks us! Which is really a thanks to our producers. He's always thinking that he switched to our type of model, not entirely exactly the same but he's always promoting us. That's cool. And Jen Briney saying... Something closer to what we do. That's right! We have an entire army John! Two? We've got an army of two! Be on the lookout! We're coming to kick your ass! Dvorak dot org slash N A Well, real short today we have one that came in.

2:12:57 After decades of endless efforts, Jonathan Pollard will be released from prison. Throughout the duration of the arrest I kept bringing up to the American administration the release of Pollard. We now wait to see Jonathan Pollard's release." Israeli officials I've been speaking to say they hope that once Pollard is released in November he'll immediately be able to fly it to Israel under the terms of his parole and have to stay in the states for five years. They hope President Obama will grant him clemency Okay, so this guy was arrested 30 years ago. Yeah as a spy he was selling US Was the Department of Defense?

CHAPTER 36 / 45 Discussion

Jonathan Pollard Release, Israeli Espionage and Randy Quaid

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu celebrates the release of Jonathan Pollard, who served 30 years in US prison for selling secrets to Israel. The hosts discuss the terms of Pollard's parole and the possibility of him moving to Israel immediately. They humorously note Pollard's physical resemblance to actor Randy Quaid and question if a "backroom deal" was made with the Obama administration.

2:13:55 I think he had a... it wasn't a life sentence for what he did. Oh, I thought this was... Thirty years in jail seems like enough time. He just got out because it's time? It was just time to get out? So yeah. Anyway, I thought there were some kind of deal that he was let out early. No if there was a deal that had been a swap or something but we don't do Israelis We don't really do that The guy who is punished for being a spy you can't do that Can't spy for anybody You can't spy for Britain You can't spy for our allies You can't spy for the Israelis What is the sentence typically? Is there a mandatory sentence that I know of or espionage. Let me see, it must be some guy maybe it's 30 years. I don't know. I just found an interesting pretty long sentence for most things. I just thought it was interesting the guy just pops up all of a sudden yeah and he makes it to problem reason popped out because you made a big stink

2:14:50 Yeah. You know, he looks just like that guy we were talking... He looks like Randy Quaid is what he looks like! That's what I was saying it looks just like Randy Quaid When i first saw him I said, What? Randy Quaids out of jail?! Free Randy!! And then the guys grousing thats what got him all the attention. He thinks the whole thing is bullcrap so it might be you don't know We haven't looked into at all this old...you know...okay now whats somebody going to do about it? He does look just like Randy Quaid holy crap Yes, he has a beard yeah I just find that peculiar. But anyway, so Netanyahu is saying well you know we had every time i went there had this conversation get this guy out get this guy out now he's free it just seems like it is a deal thats why bring up but I don't understand why and why he was let out because he's grousing? No he's grousing once he got out He wasn't grousing too much inside You want to look into it... I do! I thought there were some kind of backroom deal thats what he was at

CHAPTER 37 / 45 Discussion

Christiana Figueres, UN Climate Goals and Ending Capitalism

UN climate chief Christiana Figueres is quoted suggesting that the goal of climate change policy is to intentionally transform the global economic development model, effectively ending capitalism. The hosts argue that global warming is being used as a "backdoor revolution" by internationalists to establish a one-world government. They highlight that Figueres's comments, made at Davos, went largely ignored by mainstream media for months.

christiana figueres· united nations· capitalism· global warming· davos· al gore

2:15:55 Especially with the Obama administration. I don't see him doing that he doesn't like Netanyahu, I don't think he likes Jews He who Obama yeah? Oh yeah now now he's a Muslim You had a spectacular newsletter John Highlighted some documents and information also come across my desk uh... with more phony baloney doctoring of the numbers you want to summarize yes apparently noah and then the national administration was in that little of the national oceanographic oceanograph organization of a holes they've been doctoring the numbers to make the global warming thing work i mean there nasa people have been kind doing the same thing

2:16:51 They're just feeding us all a bunch of crap. But the thing that I got was this quote from this woman who is the head of the UN climate... Oh, Figuera? Her name is? Figuera! She's scary man. She's scary looking and she came out and you look at the newsletter there's a link to her quotes in it picture ever. You did a total Trump picture of her. That's the picture. The scariest picture. I didn't do anything. Nothing. It was only picture I could find. I mean, if i wanted to have some fun. I could've gone into Photoshop and I could have... No no this was good! She looks like an evil person. She does she has looks totally evil. She might have pointy ears even. She didn't quite say it directly but it was implied that they want she wants to end capitalism because that's what's causing the problem right? And we get the end capitalism any time paraphrasing to an extreme

2:17:44 To end capitalism, you've got to find any mechanism you can. And in this case global warming which people seem to think is like a religion... You can create this group of people that all want it You know, the only way it can really end global warming and climate change is to change from a petroleum-based worldwide economy which is what we're running on. And just destroy that? You'd destroy capitalism. We have to find new mechanisms and that would mean a new economic system." Which is what she said about changing the economic system. And this is crazy! Why this happened in...she's made this commentary in February. Nobody picked up on it

2:18:24 In fact, they finally got around to it just a few weeks ago. And...or they just got around to it...I guess they got around to it early but nobody else did in the investors business daily and I found it was like frightening unless it's a hoax and I don't think so. No this is the point this is why the Pope is all in on there's your socialist pope right yeah no this is a revolutionary this is a backdoor revolution to overthrow the world's leading economic system. She is the only one that seems to work. And who do you believe is leading this? Al Gore. Even Al Gore has an Uber award. No, this would be...this would be the elites. This would be your internationalists of people that want One World Order. Right. They're all in on this because it's great and they can discuss it openly. That's why that picture of her that's in the newsletter was taken at Davos.

2:19:20 where she speaks all the time. She goes to Davos, which is a big international economic summit where everybody goes and they tell everyone what they want to do and Gates is there but it's all internationalists they all want one world order because look what happens when we don't have it? We have all this crazy stuff going on we just need one government And of course you can't get there from here Normal people that don't fall for the bull crap is a lot of people that fall for the bull crap, you know the global warming information which makes no logical sense when you start really looking into it. But they want to shut down everything and I had a guy in fact when I met with

CHAPTER 38 / 45 Discussion

COP 21 Paris Summit, Climate Justice and Binding Agreements

The upcoming COP 21 climate summit in Paris is described as a vehicle for "climate justice," which the hosts define as a socialistic transfer of wealth from rich to poor nations. Secretary of State John Kerry announced that any agreement reached would not be legally binding, drawing criticism from French President François Hollande. The discussion emphasizes the global economy's total reliance on petroleum for products beyond just transportation.

2:18:24 In fact, they finally got around to it just a few weeks ago. And...or they just got around to it...I guess they got around to it early but nobody else did in the investors business daily and I found it was like frightening unless it's a hoax and I don't think so.

2:19:20 where she speaks all the time. She goes to Davos, which is a big international economic summit where everybody goes and they tell everyone what they want to do and Gates is there but it's all internationalists they all want one world order because look what happens when we don't have it? We have all this crazy stuff going on we just need one government And of course you can't get there from here Normal people that don't fall for the bull crap is a lot of people that fall for the bull crap, you know the global warming information which makes no logical sense when you start really looking into it. But they want to shut down everything and I had a guy in fact when I met with

2:20:04 A friend of mine at this trade show I went to, he's a low agenda listener. He says don't you think it would be better if we didn't have all these oil drills and we all went wind power and all those bull crap? And I said, I don't care maybe it would be better but besides the point we are international petroleum economy that relies on this product And what is it really? What does it really think transportation is only, what 30% of the use. I don't even know if it's that much with the plastic bottles we drink from computers glasses we wear the iPhone use the people right iPhones clothes bags in our houses IKEA building materials boxes code hangers pharmaceuticals pharmaceuticals a lot of them come from petroleum based It's just outrageous and you can do it

2:20:52 The only thing I'm worried about is just with life imitating art, if you go back to the State of Fear Michael Crichton's book. Right which outlines the whole mechanism we're dealing with and of course he died shortly thereafter. Coincidence? the thing I'm a little concerned about is that, you know...so we have of course we have climate justice which is what we all need. That's what this is about-climate justice for the poor countries who were screwed over by the rich countries. Right so let's play just so we keep up with the news let's play the climate justice cancelled in Paris so we know that this is going on. French authorities have also announced they've cancelled the November 29th march, the day before the opening of the UN climate summit due to quote the heightened security situation as many as 200 000 people were expected to attend in response french campaigner Nicolas Erringer of 350 dot org said quote

2:21:52 The government can prohibit these demonstrations, but our voices will not be silenced. While this makes it difficult to go forward with our original plans, we'll still find a way for people in Paris to make the call for climate justice heard." Oh God! Climate justice, there you go. Yeah and... Climate justice is otherwise known as money. Take money from one and give it to another. Yes that is part of... Very socialistic if anything is. Which is part of the climate change fund. And the idea is every year to start off with for the rich nations to send $100 billion dollars to the poor nations

2:22:29 And, of course what we're trying to figure out or what the leaders are trying to figure out during their...is it now 10 days or two weeks they're gonna be in Le Bourget? Which is right outside of Paris. It's not even in Paris. Frank- In a big convention hall. Adam- Yeah and our portion of that isn't...it's not huge I think we only have a small percentage of what we would supposed to be paying but it doesn't seem like anyone's ponying up. Frank- There's nobody but us. The Chinese won't be boning up. They're not doing anything about anything till 2030 they say they hope it blows over by then of course, you know, that's stupid They know what's going on and the Indians have already said that yeah we can't deal with it Well, we're kind of saying the same at least some of us some of them in Senate today We're especially here to discuss the potential legal form of the COP 21 agreement

2:23:15 I think that goes without saying, but there's been a lot of things published about is it legal? Is it binding until yesterday when we had in the Financial Times Secretary Kerry announced that there would be no binding agreement from COP 21. No binding agreement from COP 21 and that you know incurred the wrath of President Olag France along with several other people so but anyway that was an honest statement because there won't be any so when it comes to the Financing I know that a lot of people over there at 192 countries are going assume the Americans are gonna line up and joyfully pay three billion dollars It do this fund, but that's not gonna happen either. I don't think so he says yeah No That's not gonna happen Yeah, I'm gonna have them

CHAPTER 39 / 45 Discussion

Barack Obama, Carbon Emissions and Climate Terrorizing

President Obama is criticized for "terrorizing" children in Malaysia and the Philippines with dire predictions of rising oceans and extreme weather. The hosts point out his shift in terminology from "carbon dioxide" to "carbon emissions" or "carbon pollution," which they argue is unscientific. Obama describes a "feedback loop" of warming that will have devastating effects if new energy sources are not found.

barack obama· carbon emissions· greenhouse gases· malaysia· feedback loop· climate change

2:24:02 You know, but the president is really trying he terrorized now Actually I'm gonna have to say the president acted as a terrorist as a climate terrorist for these poor kids in Malaysia Oh and Philippines too. He did the same thing there and he went around looking you're talking to refugee kids See they're all cute. No, no not jihadis change your marketing team But he of course went all out to scare the children of Malaysia first of all, I think that So many of the young people here understand why climate change is so important. So important! The science is very clear... Clear? That because of the carbon emissions that we send in I love how he just goes to carbon, not carbon dioxide No it's the carbon emissions Carbon emissions by themselves are- I don't believe a greenhouse gas are they? It's called soot Yeah, its pollution But he wants- He's talking about carbon dioxide

2:25:05 And the way they change us to carbon pollution is just unscientific. Climate change is so important The science is very clear that because of the carbon emissions that we send in mostly from the use of fossil fuels We send IN? Send In, yeah Like troops! Alright...we need a battalion of carbon emissions Oil gas coal The temperatures Worldwide on average are getting higher higher and That begins to change weather patterns. Mmm the oceans begin to get warmer it's interesting we are right back to Climate is whether The ice in the Arctic whatever is convenient whenever it's convenient yeah, well there's also this whole he's got his isolate What does it? resonating effect or I'll listen to it

2:26:06 That begins to change weather patterns, the oceans begin to get warmer. The ice in the Arctic begins to melt... It's so simple when he explains it! And you get a feedback loop that as things get warmer that creates even more of a trend towards warming and if we don't stop the amount of carbon that we send out we don't find new ways of creating energy. Then you'll see the oceans rise, more extreme weather events, more drought, more flooding bigger hurricanes, typhoons and it could have a devastating effect on countries all around the world. It's cool when you terrorize the Malaysian kids with typhoons! In Paris our hope is to get all the countries to agree that

2:27:07 They will set targets for reducing carbon emissions. It won't be the same for every country." Again, carbon emissions? I don't think they're setting carbon emissions limits. Greenhouse... Why? Well That's an interesting change in strategy. I mean, these guys are always on the move and they must have meetings. Let's start using this term! Yeah By the way that since we started the show... Mm-hmm? ...I guess it was probably maybe just slack tighter so something was going on but whatever covered the mudflats is now gone and that's just mud flats again Uh, I'm sorry Is that how we do mud flats? No, the way we do mud flats is this way

CHAPTER 40 / 45 Discussion

Mudflat Update, Star Wars Mac and Cheese Marketing

A "Mudflat Update" mocks claims that maps must be redrawn due to melting ice in Greenland, with John C. Dvorak reporting that the mudflats outside his window remain unchanged. The hosts then deconstruct a Kraft Macaroni & Cheese commercial featuring Star Wars figurines, labeling it a "room of lies." They argue the ad uses cognitive dissonance to link the value of collectibles with processed food.

mudflats· greenland· star wars· kraft mac and cheese· cognitive dissonance· marketing

2:27:51 Because of what's happening in Greenland right now, the maps of the world will have to be redrawn. Hit it! This is what would happen at San Francisco Bay. Look out your window! Right time for another Mudflat Update. Climate change is upon us or not here's John C. Dvorak Well I'm looking out the window at the mud flats and they're still there. Because of what's happening in Greenland right now, the maps of the world will have to be redrawn. Look out your window Big favorite amongst all producers, the John C. Duvorak Mudflat Report. They do love it. Michelle Obama was also on hand in Malaysia to talk to the children after President scared them sufficiently. Yes here's a little one you come on up. You cursed rat! Look what you've done! I'm melting! That's right. A classic Can't help it

2:28:53 Saw the latest Star Wars commercial, which is now they're doing two first. Now we're going to have to see where it will have seen the whole movie by the time it actually comes out I am proud to say I've not seen a single trailer except this one commercial was not even a trailer. I can't be bothered I don't know why why did this just shows the slave mentality was all jacked up on the 30 year old movie or concept and Yeah, really 1977 is when that thing came in must be a form of escapism somehow it's almost 40 years now They've combined Star Wars with more slave material I don't Collect them keep mac and cheese in here. Okay? This isn't for eating

2:29:48 I collect these too. So toys you can't play with and mac n' cheese you can eat? This is a room of lies! Star Wars Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. You, you love it! Star Wars. I like the line, it's a room of lies but what is the lie? Oh the lie is that it has all these Star Wars figurines and then there's mac n' cheese but you can't eat...can play with the figurines and you can't eat the mac n' cheese Right Yeah so thats the lie How is that a lie What sort of light does it represent? I don't know, but... I thought the combo of mac and cheese and Star Wars was enough. No, I admire what you did there but i'm actually deconstructing the ad itself And wondering what kind of message they're trying to send Well maybe we have to listen to the beginning again Maybe we missed something Look at this huh guy Hey dad Yeah Why do you keep all your toys in boxes? Why do you keep buying toys in boxes How do you play with them? Uh..I dont Huh! I collect them

2:30:50 Does mom know you keep mac and cheese in here? Okay, this isn't for eating. I collect these too So toys you can play with the Mac and cheese you can eat This is a room of lies Yeah, I guess children think this is a subtle hypnotic kind of thing lies To promote consumerism oh that wouldn't be your first I just find it disturbing. Either that or more of this dissonance issue where you just confuse people with, oh its a room of lies... Yeah, you've been using this term cognitive dissidence a couple times. I'm very concerned about it ever since it came up in the conversation with somebody else and one of our clips have decided that's part of the way the system works to break people down so we have a lot of people who donate to the show

CHAPTER 41 / 45 Discussion

Cognitive Dissonance, Planned Parenthood and Public Confusion

The hosts expand on the concept of "cognitive dissonance" in American society, where people are forced to hold contradictory beliefs. They cite examples such as the debate over Planned Parenthood and the death penalty as evidence of illogical thinking used to keep the public "befuddled." Listeners frequently write "sanity" on donation checks, suggesting the show provides a logical alternative to mainstream confusion.

cognitive dissonance· planned parenthood· abortion· logic· marketing· sanity

2:31:39 And not just an anonymous lesbian who I first noticed it with, but she'd always write sanity down in the little note. But other people do it and some people do on their checks that come from the bank, it says sanity across the top right there is a cognitive dissonance issue in this country with people you know, being told one thing and then being told another and trying to push those two things together which logically don't make sense being pushed together. And I think it includes the climate change issues and a lot of other things. The Planned Parenthood thing...I think a lot of abortion is very important that lives are sacrosanct and you can't do abortions but let's kill everyone in the prisons

2:32:25 I mean, there's this kind of like self-contradictory thinking that goes on which I think is used to keep people befuddled and going along with the program. And you run into it constantly with your Obama bot reports which everybody really loves because they're very entertaining but it's all this sort of thing. It's all this confusion, this illogicalness...and a lot of people listen to our show because they say, well, you know, you may have been...you heard this a lot." That's what I was thinking, but nobody confirmed it until you guys came along. And I thought this was crazy. It didn't sound right." And this is what is going on in that...so I'm using it to point out these various versions of and I think this is one of them, how a room of lies or whatever has got nothing do with lies? So which kind of lie are we talking about? I don't get it. Right. But I don't think that this was created specifically for cognitive dissonance. You don't know that.

2:33:18 And I'm not aware of this unless marketing and advertising has some theory about cognitive dissonance that it works better or that is has a deeper impact. How is an ad agency doing this ad? All right, you want to try it? That would be a copywriter. You want to try it? I don't know if we can but let's try it. We have this client craft in there... Look, we got a tie-in. Can we do a tie-in with something? What have we got? We got the Star Wars tie in is what we're gonna do. We also have mac and cheese, we want to promote. We've been promoting mac and cheese across the country and we want to slip it in there. Sales gotta go up! We need more Mac & Cheese So we gotta a couple of people that can come on this. We got the Star Wars guys Yeah And then we got the Mac & Cheeses It's got nothing to do with each other Here's what were going to do Were gonna create a cognitive dissonance which is gonna sell people on both these products by confusing them First were gonna have these two... This guy collects

2:34:08 Get this play this visualize this I'm visualizing the guy has got he's collecting Star Wars toys star wars toys Which people do they do and he's collecting Mac and cheese box. Oh my god, that's brilliant and Yes. What does that mean? Nobody knows, but they're so confused during the process that they associate the value of mac and cheese with the expensive Star Wars toys It's a winner! And every single time you see a Star Wars toy The kids are gonna think Mac and Cheese!

CHAPTER 43 / 45 Discussion

Angela Merkel, CSU Coalition and Refugee Policy Opposition

German Chancellor Angela Merkel faces a cold reception from her Bavarian coalition partners, the CSU, over her "open arms" refugee policy. Party chairman Horst Seehofer reportedly lectured Merkel on stage for 15 minutes following her speech, which was met with little applause. The hosts note that Bavaria is the primary entry point for migrants, leading to significant local strain and political opposition.

angela merkel· csu· horst seehofer· bavaria· germany· refugees

2:37:13 Well, while we were talking about the...I assume we're off the topic of the... Yeah. I'm done. We're back on it. I just wanna get this clip out of the way. This is a...I think that Merkel's losing her...you know she's a coalition leader. She doesn't have...her party doesn't own the place. And she's kind of losing the steam there. Well here are reports from Deutsche Welle on her talking to the CSU which is one of her groups that she's one of the parties... That's her coalition partners who don't like her? They don't like her much because of the refugee thing, but here she is. This is a good report Merkel talking CSU And in Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel has defended her refugee policy before her Bavarian coalition ally the CSU Merkel has run into stiff opposition from the CSU to her open arms policy of welcoming migrants including Syrian refugees to Germany Hold on a second was that her? I thought something else was playing behind That's just her

2:38:10 I'm sorry. The area is where most of these migrants arrive when they first arrive in Germany, and it is struggling to cope. Merkel renewed her call to address the root causes for mass migration and to increase cooperation at an international level. Earlier we spoke with our correspondent Rupert Wiedervald who watched Angela Merkel's speech and asked him what kind of reception the chancellor received? Well, at first the reception was rather friendly. Surprisingly friendly I would say but the longer Angela Merkel's hold her speech and the more it became clear that she was trying to move around the crucial points especially around the controversial refugee gap the CSU has been eagerly pushing for in the last weeks

2:38:57 the tension grew during this convention here and the more it became clear that this won't be the day of Angela Merkel. And what was rather extraordinary in the end was that after her speech, CSU party chairman Horst Seehofer came up on stage and talked for about 15 minutes while Chancellor Merkel had to stand beside him. It all looked a little bit like the teacher is telling its smaller pupil how things are done properly and in the end Angela Merkel left the hall with as much as no applause. That was rather extraordinary. Yeah, well of course that party represents mostly I guess it's Bavaria? Yes Which is where she's from isn't she from? She might be but whatever But these refugees are...that's their entry point so they're inundating this part of Germany and this is not going over

2:39:54 Because they got that, you know... We talked about this big stream. You know the eight wide as far as the eye can see coming down the road it's like army ants in Africa. Yeah and there are so many of these videos about to open the gate there is versions of that I put a couple in show notes at 776.noagendanotes.com It's really quite incredible to see anyone I show that type of video too though oh my god had no idea what do you think it was? We're not being shown, it's just not. It isn't being shown I'm only seeing the good videos on outside of the US newscasts

2:40:33 They talk with the, you know we do the big three ABC NBC CBS they do close-up shots. They do on this scene to get a guy standing there with a microphone and if few guys straggling past... The framing is very tight indeed And the framings tight You don't see that you know they don't pull back and show this line of the horizon of you know hundreds of thousands of people slowly trudging along the way you know pooping all over the place right it does never been addressed I think i'm done for now unless you have any tech news

CHAPTER 44 / 45 Discussion

Personal Cloud Storage, Lima Kickstarter and Amazon Echo

John C. Dvorak reviews the "Lima" personal cloud device, a Kickstarter project that plugs into a router to create a private cloud. He compares it unfavorably to Western Digital's personal cloud solutions, noting that the Lima software is not yet "ready for prime time." The hosts also briefly discuss the Amazon Echo, acknowledging that the device is constantly listening to users.

2:41:10 I almost had tech news, but i think we can put that off until next sunday. Yeah, other than i got the Lima, you know about Lima? I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, Lima was a kickstarter idea and it's like a little... It's almost the size of an iPhone, like twice, two iPhone chargers stacked together And you plug into your router, you plug a drive into it any size you want So I got a one terabyte drive and then that creates a cloud your own personal cloud for any device you have including your phone And the idea Western Digital has a thing called the personal clouds of six terabyte Drive You plug into the into their your main router, and then it does the same thing for all right It's just a driver doesn't it

2:41:57 Plus the drive and some software, and you know the hardware in the drive. It's built into the drive. Okay yeah so... NAS with six terabytes and you plug it in and for all practical purpose only pay for the six terabytes not really paying for anything else. So that's a same idea except these guys they have you buy the dongle for 99 bucks which is expensive but I understand what you're doing. That is expensive And then you have to buy a drive But I gotta tell you, the software is not ready for prime time. And so now I have... Western Digital? I would recommend the Western Digital. There's your tech news. There's your plug. That's pretty good. I didn't realize that was out there. I thought, well... I think Seagate had something similar earlier but

2:42:41 Western digital is really pushing theirs hard because they're finding like with me I'm using the Microsoft cloud and it the other day. It just wouldn't accept files anymore Like that no we're not interested cloud drive for missions or what? I mean the files are still there, and they're intact But I can't move anything to the cloud now if having to move to my regular doc file And since I'm running a fairly thin my main machine is fairly thin and so far as internal hard disk space, I'm gonna drop this. I'm gonna start using this six terabyte drive cloud and I can also back up to it from my place in Port Angeles because it's on the internet even though that's a dangerous... Years ago was considered very dangerous to use any network attached storage but now I think it's not so much because there's just so much... Cloud for all practical purposes is the same thing

2:43:33 Yeah, they're trying to do something which I think the main idea is they have apps and then you know the app Jiggers your phone. So when you take a picture it's automatically also uploaded to the To your Lima Drive yeah But they market it more like oh you'll now have as a terabyte on your phone, but it's not really true In fact, it's not further from the truth quite honestly so I would say not necessarily a Gadget we need but i'm still loving the amazon echo yeah And despite reports coming out that that what then it's listening to you duh cool Duh of course is listening to you all right um. I think tonight? I'm going to check for illuminati signals on the American music awards and
