The Great Daylight Savings Time Conspiracy or 100% Yanni-Free

00:02 Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. Analyzing the globe armed with a compass and a rubber knife. It's time again for the two guys who don't know much about nothing. This is no agenda. It's Sunday, March 8th, 2009. Coming to you from the Crackpot Command Center in Gitmo Nation East, located in a blustery and wet southwest London. I'm Adam Curry. And I'm John C. Dvorak here in Northern Silicon Valley, where it's beautiful today. Yo! I don't think you brought it up fast enough, Dan. Yeah, I was a little slow. Well, I didn't know how you were gonna end, because you didn't... you know, you're supposed to end with... like an ending. Eh, that seemed kinda like one. Well, so I was waiting for it. Oh, okay. Well, one of these days... Yeah, we'll get it right. So, very confusing and perfect to jump right into our first...

01:00 topic of conversation, daylight saving time. Yes. Because you sent me a note, I was not even aware that it was changing in the US today. Of course, last year, the President, President Bush decided to move that up by about a month as compared to the rest of the world in changing the time. And of course I went on my annual or my bi-annual search to find out the true conspiracy behind the daylight savings time. You know, there's no one agrees on this shit. No one has a clear and cut reason why we're actually still doing this except for the 2005 Energy Savings Act that

01:43 That is so apparently we're saving energy, but I don't buy it Before you go into your conspiracy, which I will elaborate on once you establish whatever pattern you're going to I shouldn't something is kind of galling. I'm looking at my computer here and Generally speaking Microsoft Windows changes the time for you automatically on daylight savings time, and I know that it failed to change it when it was supposed to happen because they did change the day that they were going to do daylight savings. They moved it up a few weeks or a week and then they also changed it back to regular time a couple weeks later than they normally do.

02:25 And Microsoft has, every Tuesday they have Patch Tuesday and they patch hundreds of things over the year. How come they have not patched this? I thought they would have patched it after last October when the computers didn't change to the right time and now I'm noticing this morning that my time on the computer is off by an hour. What didn't they patch? I mean doesn't the way Apple works it just you know periodically checks its clock against The time server and so there's no logic in the computer itself. It's all based upon the time server Well apparently it's not the same situation here the time server. I'm sure the atomic clock is

03:06 It's got the right time and this thing doesn't. It's annoying. I don't understand. Why can't they do this? How hard can this be? Well, you know what happens every single time we have this switchover because I live in a different time zone and we have two different calendar systems. Well, really we have Microsoft Outlook which most people use and then a lot of people because we're at least 50% Mac based company, you know, use Google Calendar and they'll sync that to their iCal but invariably meetings get fucked up. You know, you're waiting there for 15 minutes before you realize that the conference call is not going to start for another 45 or you show up late. I mean, it never works. It never really works 100% of the time.

03:50 Yeah, I noticed. I've missed plenty of meetings. 13 things you probably did not know about daylight savings time. By the way, it's saving, not savings, I've learned. That would be the first one. Now, of course, the page is slow to load as I set that up so beautifully. But I did cruise around. The best quote I got was, this of course is, well I'll give you the quote, with the ability to set the clocks back, they have mastered the space-time continuum. And now that they control all of the world's markets, the world's largest military, they are officially the masters of the universe. Who's they? Well, the evil Uberlords of course.

04:40 But really, there's only two things. There's a couple things this could be. One, this may be the day that the BIS, the Bank of International Settlements, does all of its settlements because of course all log files get screwed up everywhere. You know, your stats get messed up because you lose an hour of stats. So maybe there's all kinds of money transactions that take place in this lost hour. Whoa, that was loud. Yes, it's like a year from here But in general I think it's just it's just built to confuse us and kill more of us more people died this is This is the best you can do. I thought you had some really good conspiracy Let me let me add a little dimension to this. Okay, you're gonna take us back to the Benjamin Franklin candle thing So when they in initially I think this was initiated if I'm not mistaken during the Roosevelt administration Which of course would you know?

05:34 kind of concur with the some of the they notions. But what was interesting about it was extremely controversial. I mean, not just a little controversial, like now people just put up with it. Maybe it was an attempt to see how much people would put up with. Well, it's mind control, clearly. I mean, someone is saying they're going to watch what I make these fuckers do now. But when they did it, it was supposedly for the farmers and it was done and the curious thing is, and I have a collection of these songs... You know, there's already disagreement about that, John. I'm reading here that Benjamin Franklin came up with it and it was originally done so there'd be less candle burning.

06:12 I don't, that's not the story I'm hearing. But anyway, because I know during the Roosevelt administration there were at least a dozen records that were cut. Now that which makes, this makes no sense. Maybe, maybe Franklin had the idea and then they passed on it and reintroduced it. Because I have, in fact I'll have to dig these up. They're somewhere in my collection. of songs done by famous artists during the 1930s, musicians, complaining bitterly, and Hollywood personalities by the way also, complaining bitterly about the implementation of this process. And so why would they be complaining if it was Franklin, you know, Ben Franklin?

06:57 Well, because... Why are they complaining in 1930? Because the pretense is a lie. I mean, it's clear that it has nothing to do with... Oh yeah, it was like Thanksgiving. Well, yeah. Yeah, that's a good one too. Thanksgiving is a crock. You know, it's... Well, yeah, like we really sat down with the Indians and had a big feast. Please. We didn't even have a Thanksgiving. We probably ate the Indians. Come on. Okay. All right onward. It's an unsolved mystery and everyone has their view on it But there really has never been as far as I my research tells me other than this the theft of time Absolute theft. There's no loss an hour not to fly out today. Yeah, there's no imagine how many people are gonna miss this flight There's no other reason for it. I am

07:43 I dove into a couple of stories because I've learned now that when something shows up in the media evolving around politics and it's like a ha ha funny, a dumbo story, there's usually something else behind it. And I'm starting to learn that's maybe how disinformation works. And we witnessed that with our very own story two shows ago where what the mainstream media pulled out was, yeah, funny, but it had nothing to do with a rather serious topic at the moment, right? Which one? That was about the Peter from Fulahoe, the Dutch royal who rashed my wife. Right, that guy. So I've been looking into a number of good ones including, well why don't I do this right now, the Barack Obama helicopter. So we talked about this story, it must have been the same two episodes ago.

08:33 At least. And so the story is that Obama's Marine One, of which 28 have been ordered, the budget for that has gone from $6 billion to $11 billion, which is just an unbelievable amount of money for 28 helicopters. And it turns out that this dates back to the war in Iraq. when uh... do you remember the the the niger yellow cake as part of the proof john that uh... the other hand i was a member of the weapons of mass destruction so do you know where that proof the so-called proof came from about the uh... the the yellow cake purchase i don't remember anything while too far gone yeah well i'll jog your memory it came through italy uh... when uh... sylvia barry scone he was still

09:29 Prime Minister, before he got kicked out of course now he's back again. And all the stories here, because of course the helicopter is not being built by Sikorsky, a fine American company. No, no, no, it's being built by Agusta, the Italian manufacturer of helicopters. And apparently the original six billion, actually it's Augusta Westland, remember Britain also lied to get us into Iraq, so Westland is a British company, so it's the British-Italian Augusta Westland. That the six billion dollars was a payoff for the lie that and the so-called proof that Berlusconi provided So they you know have this huge fund of money going back. This is you tell me this is a quid pro quo Yes, it is quid, and I've got lots of reporting on there must be a bunch of coverage of this in the media There's no way You would you would think John but no I actually found

10:28 I found a Dutch link which is very interesting and a what is this newamerica.org but it has some really good sources that it points to. So this is just it's a payoff and that's why it will happen one way or the other because these guys don't forget. How did the payoffs get to 11 billion dollars? Does that mean they actually have to pay for the helicopters on top of the payoff? Well, it could be. First of all, you don't need $6 billion for 28 helicopters either. I had the most expensive non-military helicopter from Augusta. It cost like $4.5 million.

11:03 So, you know, factor of 10 for all the James Bond shit. And it's still, you know, there's no safety in a helicopter when it comes to an RPG. Anyone can blow you out of the sky, which is why the president has multiple helicopters, because you never know which one he's flying in. At least that's what I'm told. Yeah, so yeah, I think it just you know the budget just balloon. That's what these companies do Hey, here's here's your budget go ahead and build a six billion dollar new helicopter line because it may cost billions to create a new helicopter The R&D, but they've already started to pay off this money 2.6 billion already transferred so total quid pro quo pay off like a complete scandal it is and it's not being reported a quid pro quo payoff

11:51 After screwing the American public and breaking the country with this crazy war. Go ahead and give them some more. They're just asking for more. Thugs, man. Freaking thugs. So, but it was fun to kind of say, hey, you know, there's something going on. People are laughing, you know, even, you know, you've been preoccupied with this helicopter story since you first looked at the numbers because I couldn't believe the numbers. You know, everyone takes it for granted. Oh, 11 billion ago. That sounds right. No, it doesn't sound right. It does not sound right. That's not what a helicopter cost. A couple billion to develop a new one. Sure. Maybe. Maybe two three billion, but you know then then to deliver you only need 1 billion to deliver all of them And you got some change left over enough to save health care Yeah, well health care is going nowhere. That's a scam. So we were looking at yeah go ahead We were looking at my wife came up with this one, and then you know I started following up and

12:48 There's kind of a scandal going on and I twittered it and everybody's like, you know, up in arms about this HR 875. Oh, this is the organic food bill? Yeah. Oh yeah, this is nasty. They want people to register. This is basically register everybody and the organic food people think that this is just an attack on them on behalf of Big Ag. and also Big Organic, which is the fake organic that everyone's being sold. So the woman who I just sent you a picture of, Rosa DeLauro, is the hor- I hate to- and I don't normally rag on somebody's appearance, but this is the ugliest woman in the history of the US Congress. Oh! Nice teeth though.

13:36 If you go to that Wikipedia page on her, they have a picture of her cackling at the podium about something or other. I really don't like to be besmirched by somebody. Judgmental or for any reason we should not be laughing at appearances. But this woman looks like a witch. Yeah, she does. She is the hat. So the untold part of the story is that, just mentioned casually in the Wikipedia thing, she's the one who initiated this bill and got a bunch of people to go along with it. The rest of her bills all have to do with women's rights. And so she comes up with this Ag bill out of the blue, and so it says she's married to political strategist Stan Greenberg. If you look up Stan Greenberg, you find out that he was either working for, directly, or a lobbyist for Monsanto. Of course!

14:30 I actually did the Google for, I couldn't find a cross-reference, I was looking for HR 875 and the Codex Alimentarius, because I'm sure somewhere... Yeah, I knew that you would do this. Yeah, and I was looking for the correlation. I couldn't find anything, but I did read through this bill. And it does some very interesting things. Legally binds state agriculture departments to enforce federal guidelines, so the states should then effectively have no more power and they just become the food police. Criminalizes organic farming without actually using the word organic, so it's very broadly written.

15:10 and affects anyone growing food even if they are not selling it but consuming it. I mean, essentially you could interpret some of this language to, hey, you know, you can't grow something and eat it yourself. You certainly couldn't sell it, you definitely cannot sell it to your neighbor. So it's the... Yeah, the farmers, you just might as well just shut down every farmer's market in the country. So Stan Greenberg He's a little nebbish-ish nebbish like character to himself. He looks like Woody Allen. I'm just looking at some pages here. God, so he, what are his ties to Monsanto? Well, let's see here. The one was...

15:53 For those of you who haven't been listening... He's the founder and CEO of Greenberg, Quinlan, Rosner Research, a polling and consulting firm and co-founder with James Carvell of Democracy Corps, a non-profit organization which produces left-leaning political strategy, married to so-and-so. His corporate clients, he's just a British, British Petroleum, British Airways, Monsanto and General Motors. Unbelievable. And I don't understand how there's, you know, nobody's linked to this. This is an obvious conflict of interest. Well, he's just my husband. My ass. Well, I'm starting to give up on complaining about the news not bringing us the news and just maybe just start to prepare people for the inevitable because these jabronis are not doing anything good for us.

16:48 You're talking about the media, the folding media? Yes. The ever-shrinking media? Complicit, shrinking, bullshit, lying media. They're worried about their jobs. They don't have time to actually do any research. So no one is patriotic in media. No one just stands up and says, screw it, this is just the way it is. Not that it would even make it on the air unless you're in a live situation. Well, I don't know what patriotism is when it comes to the media. I'm not one of those that thinks the media should be pounding the drum for the government. No, but isn't the media... But they're not even doing... I mean, they maybe don't... It seems to me that there is people who say, well, you know, it's a liberal media. And they've done a lot of research and it is a liberal media. They're all union members and most of them vote Democrat. And you can go into the newsroom. I've told the story before. I'll tell it again to some of our newer listeners. I went and gave a speech in

17:43 to a group of newspaper editors and a couple layers of editors and there was probably hundred people in the room and I was casually mentioning this issue and nobody disagreed with me and I said how many people here for example would even think of voting for John McCain out of a hundred two hands went up Wow and and then what guy comes up to me after the speech and says I was you know I just want to let you know that that I would have raised my hand, but I didn't think it was a good idea. And he said, you can see the reason why. And that's just it. That's just the way it is and nobody, they don't think twice about it.

18:32 You can't be anything but a liberal in the newsroom. Half the people on television particularly who are doing the news are just reading the news. I mean they're just like President Obama. They're just reading from teleprompters. By the way, he'd be a great newsreader. He would be a great news anchor. There is definitely a career for him there. There's a Dutch YouTube video which I never cued up because it's obviously in Dutch and it's a video. But I will put it in the show notes. It's of a Dutch newsreader, a girl. young woman and it's before air time so it's an off-air check and it got out and she's literally, you know, she's futzing with her hair because that's all she cares about. She has to look good, not bump into any furniture and read the news or read whatever's on the teleprompter and she's like adjusting her breasts and opening up her button and saying, oh yes, it's all about the boobies and you know, if my mom sees too much she'll be angry. I mean, complete, totally breaks down the wall

19:29 if you've ever seen this woman reading the news and people don't realize though they don't stop to realize yeah well really the newsreaders are what they did they're readers not what they are the newsreader reading newsreaders they're just good readers Obama's a really good reader. There's been more stories about him. Now he's getting so dependent on the teleprompter that he brings it with him everywhere. Even when he gives like a two-minute thing where he says, I'd like to introduce so-and-so who I believe is going to be an outstanding secretary of blah blah blah. He has to have a teleprompter for this.

20:04 Yeah, there's a story in the show notes that's linked that really breaks down his use of the teleprompter. It was pretty good. Was that Politico or what was that site that you said? Maybe, but a lot of people have been picking up on it because it's getting a little tiresome. Yeah, Politico. One of the problems that he has, I don't think for one thing, I don't know, he's so dependent on it, it's ridiculous, because I've seen him, I said, well, this guy can't, you know, and people believe that during the debates where you couldn't use a prompter that he was going to just show himself to be a stammering, you know, fool. But I saw him ad lib fine. I've seen him on Letterman. I've seen him on Leno. And he's, on Letterman, he was very funny. He had good lines. He's a little hesitant when he speaks. He's not as quiet as... There's an obvious reason for this, John, and I have something to prove it. I have some proof for you today.

20:53 The obvious reason is because, first of all, again, this is the fail culture we have where everyone is sitting on top of everyone's every single blog post, Twitter wording, or soundbite to pounce when you did something wrong, or you said it wrong, you're wrong! People love doing that. That's all they sit around all day and because this is stuff that deals with billions of dollars, hundreds of billions, trillions of dollars, it's because of the lawyers. They are so afraid he would actually say something like he said this morning in his address.

20:04 Yeah, there's a story in the show notes that's linked that really breaks down his use of the teleprompter. It was pretty good. Was that Politico or what was that site that you said? Maybe, but a lot of people have been picking up on it because it's getting a little tiresome. Yeah, Politico. One of the problems that he has, I don't think for one thing, I don't know, he's so dependent on it, it's ridiculous, because I've seen him, I said, well, this guy can't, you know, and people believe that during the debates where you couldn't use a prompter that he was going to just show himself to be a stammering, you know, fool. But I saw him ad lib fine. I've seen him on Letterman. I've seen him on Leno. And he's, on Letterman, he was very funny. He had good lines. He's a little hesitant when he speaks. He's not as quiet as... There's an obvious reason for this, John, and I have something to prove it. I have some proof for you today.

20:53 The obvious reason is because, first of all, again, this is the fail culture we have where everyone is sitting on top of everyone's every single blog post, Twitter wording, or soundbite to pounce when you did something wrong, or you said it wrong, you're wrong! People love doing that. That's all they sit around all day and because this is stuff that deals with billions of dollars, hundreds of billions, trillions of dollars, it's because of the lawyers. They are so afraid he would actually say something like he said this morning in his address.

21:31 To the people of the United States and the world, his weekly YouTube radio address, listen very carefully to the wording about our jobs. ...of new lending so that families can finance a car or college education and small businesses can raise the capital that will create jobs. And we've already begun to implement the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, a plan that will save and create... Did you hear it? What? He said save and create. Yes, save and create. It was save or create. It's been save or create for months, John. Oh, he made a huge blunder. Now he has to actually create a job. Save and, I'll play it again, save and create, he's saying, for the first time. So that families can finance a car or college education and small businesses can raise the capital that will create jobs.

22:25 And we've already begun to implement the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, a plan that will save and create over three billion dollars in public spending. picky youn little nitpicking of a just a parsing and then saying well he's changed the word or to and it's significant yes and I totally agree that there that what you're saying is exactly the same but there is a little bit of difference when people are pouncing on someone to say they jumped the shark and a guy putting 800

23:03 of printed money into the economy to save or create. Now he's saying save and create. Does that mean we need another 800 billion? And by the way, the jobs he has saved, he proved it. Our president went off to the Academy for the Police and said these 25 cadets jobs were saved by the stimulus package. 25 jobs! 25 you how much tea did you have this morning and then so I go to recovery org gov and then there's oh 3,000 aviation jobs of course my eye catches that wow that's interesting aviation jobs Yeah for the Department of Homeland Security for the TSA So we now have three thousand twenty-five jobs that have been saved those jobs aren't saved or created

23:54 they were saved because the... no, no, the... you have to understand... the 3,000 were created and the 25 were saved and he did a whole press conference, it was live, I watched the whole thing. I know, I saw this press conference about saving these 25 jobs. Yes, it was 25 jobs! We have hundreds of thousands of people being thrown out of work on a monthly basis is the most ludicrous thing. I don't understand why people aren't up in arms about this. Because people are stupid and they are hypnotized Yeah, I know when I count to three you're gonna be awake one two three wakey wakey wakey, okay? You're up, and you're awake. Okay. You're gonna start the show and you're cognizant, and you know what's going on around you This is the funniest though John

24:36 So, you know, of course there's been this minor international flap, probably under-reported in the United States, but we definitely in the United Kingdom feel that President Obama shined our Prime Minister who went to Washington with a lot of big poo-ha noise. Stiffed him. He got completely stiffed. Well, the White House has responded. The reason President Obama... Oh, there's a new reason? Is it? No. When it was snowing? No, no, no, no. Mr. Obama and his staff have been overwhelmed by the economic meltdown and he was tired. The new president is not getting enough rest. He went to a basketball game. Dude, yes, every night he's got Earth, Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder, he's got the Jonas Brothers, they're all hanging out, they're having cocktail parties on Wednesday night. He's going to basketball games. He was too tired?

25:28 Now, it gets better. So Gordon Brown, love him, hate him, I don't care. He does a very... They're all over this by the way. People should know this, our listeners, that in the British media they are just on the story. Because it means a lot, which of course I'm going to get to. But first let's do the trivial shit. Gordon Brown did something very English and very British and very proper. He brought along a gift and the gift was a pen made from the wood from a ship that was one of the first ships that stopped slavery. I'm paraphrasing obviously, but well thought of. You know, hey man, this will mean something to this guy. You know, it's a personal gift, it's a pen, it's made from the same wood the President's desk is made at the White House. So a lot of thought went into this. What does he get?

26:16 He gets a goodie bag of DVDs. And of course... Wait, and the kids, the two kids, Gordon Brown's sons, each got a plastic model of Marine One. Oh, the irony. Well, here's the real irony. If he gave those DVDs, because of the nature of the MPAA, are not playable in English. It's a change of the region code. So I was looking up the region code, so he gave me a bunch of DVDs that are basically just pieces of plastic. Unplayable, they were bogus. Because USA is region 1 and England I think is region 2. Region 2 I think. No, no, region 2 is Japan, oh yeah, Europe. That is so funny. So, and the funny thing, to make it even worse,

27:06 They have over the last year or two, a lot of people haven't, nobody's really discussed this too much, but they've added another layer to the region code thing which DVD players have to look at the region code and see if they can legally play the disc. Well, they've added another layer which I'm looking for the name of it. But anyway, it's another layer that only applies by the way to region one disks because this is the only important disk I guess you have to be careful with. And the region one disks will now not play on the systems that are region free. You can buy these DVD players that you can buy them, most of them come from China but they're around, you can buy them. They play all the discs from all over the world. So if you have a region 2 disc you can play it, you can play a region 3 disc, it doesn't make any difference. But now region 1 discs won't play on these devices. So essentially, you gave him discs that are no good. This by the way is our tech savvy president. Yes. So it was a set of DVDs, it was 25 classic American films.

28:11 And Brown also gave gifts to the kids. He outfits from Topshop, which of course is a very British clothing chain, and six children's books by British authors, which are shortly to be published in the US. So this clearly is an international... this has importance, and I can boil it down to the following that... Can you turn your speakers down just a tad, John? Yeah, it's down pretty low. Well then turn up the hearing aid. What? Are the lights still on? I believe that at this point in time and just look at all the signs around us, you know, with the auto industry now really on the imminent precipice of demise, not just in the United States but across Europe. We've got huge industries that are set to fail.

29:11 The derivatives scandal that is wrapped up in AIG unwinds, another layer comes off every week which is another 10, 20, 30, 80 billion dollars. All Obama's administration is doing, which of course he is communicating through reading, is keeping this shit afloat just a little bit longer. They've got the plunge protection team in there, working on the markets every single day. You can see what they're doing when it shoots up and then it goes back down to the level it was at. I mean, it's all so obvious that the whole scheme is coming apart and all they're doing is trying to keep the shit together until they come out. And it might happen in April.

29:48 with the G20 that they will announce the new monetary fiscal as Gordon Brown said to the joint session of Congress the new the global new global economic system and I think it's going to be the IMF John they're the ones making the most noise making the most moves they've they've now passed legislation so all members of the IMF which is all countries basically that matter to create SDRs, special drawing rights, which is a phantom form of spreadsheet money. It's coming baby, it's happening. And there's nothing that Gordon Brown clearly is going to do with Obama. He doesn't give a shit about Gordon Brown. He poops on him.

30:28 He did, he did. I poop on Gordon Brown. There was an ad for a book in the Financial Times, the title of the book, Gordon is a Moron. I mean it doesn't get much cleaner than that does it? So that's where all of this is headed. Every week I'm like, God man it's Monday, what is going to fail today? Who's going to be in huge trouble? I'm blaming the British for all this. Well of course it is the evil British bankers who are really... and I'm not talking about the Bank of England. Here's one from our files of ongoing topics. We've been talking a lot about medical marijuana in California and there was a lot of hubble-a-boo recently when the... was it O'Brien? Attorney O'Brien?

31:21 had directed to stop the raiding of medical marijuana, I guess, growers and shops, etc. So it was O'Brien who sent out that memo. He overturned it on Friday. What? Wait a minute. Back up. I knew you weren't listening to me. I was listening. Okay, so Thomas P. O'Brien sent a confidential memo to prosecutors. I heard the entire story, but I'm not believing what you said. I think you must have made some error here. Okay, well this is from the LA Times, the Los Angeles Times. And I'll just... I thought, oh wait a minute, stop it before you go. Let's give some background here.

32:01 My understanding that, or your understanding, because you're the one that keeps bringing this topic up. Obama was elected with a clear mission. By saying that he was going to do something and he got a mandate to do it and now you're telling me that he did it for like five minutes and then said, ah screw it, I'm gonna go back to the George Bush way? Yeah, more like three days. So let me just read the first paragraph verbatim here. The US Attorney in Los Angeles sent a confidential memo to prosecutors last week ordering them to stop filing charges against marijuana dispensaries. Then abruptly lifted the ban on Friday. O'Brien of course declined to comment on why he has rescinded it. And it was literally two days after the Attorney General Eric Holder

32:52 said that medical marijuana prosecutions would not be a priority. So, this is, but this is pretty consistent, John. It's like, you say on day one, you say, no lobbyist in my administration, here are the rules, and then two days later you quickly go and break the rules. That seems to be the modus operandi here. Well, you know, he can at least say that yes, I did that. Technically, it's that lawyer shit again, man. Technically, I did exactly what I said I would do. Well, I guess he did it just long enough for his boys to get their stash. There's a new conspiracy theory in Europe. All right. There is no such thing as Americans. They are all actors. Working for Disney. That's right. And we're actually backstage right now. Did you know, you know, I don't know a lot of people know this, but Disney, when they set up shop in Florida, they wanted to, you know, Florida had all these strict labor laws.

33:58 And Disney said, you know, we don't really want to deal with these labor laws because they're just going to cost us too much money and it's not going to be any good. We need some way around this labor law thing. And so they changed. So people that work at the Disney Disney World in Orlando, they don't actually not working for Disney. They're all considered cast members. Yeah. And if you in fact you'll see that when said it where it says the employee lounge it just doesn't say that you know they might as Just cross out and actually said that they're backstage It has all backstage cast members only because they because the labor laws don't apply to actors in Florida and they these people and this includes by the way the guy who scrapes the bubblegum off the off the ground He's an actor for sure yeah

34:44 I'm going to send you this link just to get back to one second because of course we like to identify trends. The first trend we've identified is that when there's a crisis abound, the government will create a website. Whether it's recovery.gov or whether it's realhelpnow.gov.uk, the next step in this trend is you need an emblem. A downloadable emblem. Oh yeah, they always have to have the logo. Oh, this is their new logo. This is the new logo, the Recovery.gov emblem. And you can download a high resolution version. Wow. They're really into this imagery. Well, someone should, I'm sure someone will, should dissect this because it's got a lot of it. I like the gears on it. You know, what is the gears thing? What does that tell you? We got agriculture on the left. People will look at this later. It was a circle that's cut in half and then on the bottom are two quadrants. One of them shows a leaf, a couple of three leaves actually indicating agriculture is on a green background. And the other one shows two gears against a red background, communist by the way.

35:49 It's a socialist color, symbolically. It's a total communist thing. And then above that is a whole half circle that says recovery.gov and then 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 stars. So look at two stars break the circle though, what's that all about? I'm sure that's an Illuminati probably just in the two stars break the circle on one side and so does one of the gears and this end up in the base of the stem yeah I don't think that's significant I think it just happened it's actually sloppy just shitty well maybe not maybe he makes a circle more I mean if you yeah I don't know whatever that patch look great on a denim jacket I think as an armband

36:38 Where's the armbands? I'm waiting for these. They're not out yet, man. I keep looking at the rights for these things and every time they design one of these things, if you start really digging into it, there are rights associated with it. So you can't make it into an armband legally. Well, this is ours. This is from the government. This is not from barackobama.com. This is from the US government. Maybe this could be done. Maybe we'll do an armband with this. It's not as jazzy, it's not as fascist looking though as the Barack... I'm sure they hired the same team though. The logo design team, they're out of Chicago. Yeah, of course. Of course.

37:22 Something interesting happened. You know, I'm not a big sports guy. In fact, I really don't give a rat's ass I'll watch the championships and the final things of the Olympics. That's about it But I I've been following what's been going on with Major League Soccer in the US for two reasons one David Beckham, of course arguably one of the world's best players was You know was bought and and installed there but also one of the world's former best players and great coach Ruud Gullit who was a Dutch player. Yes, Gullit most people would say.

37:58 And this was big news in the Netherlands because he was moving there and his wife was moving there. She's a famous girlfriend-wife type vibe. She always has all the bling and, oh, we'll be hanging out with the Beckhams. So I followed that a little bit. And Beckham has done nothing but lose, not necessarily Beckham, but the LA Galaxy have done nothing but lose. It's been a total PR nightmare. It has not worked at all. And all of a sudden Ruth Hulett, like maybe two months ago, said screw it, I'm out of here, I'm cutting my contract, I'm gone. And I've just now

38:36 Learned after hearing that David Beckham was so anxious to leave He was on loan to AC Milan the Italian team where he's played before he was so anxious not to go back to the United States He actually contributed to some of the money that AC Milan has to pay The galaxy so he does so he can stay playing and stay on playing with AC Milan now that to me was very interesting I'm like, why? Here's some, take my money. Take my money. This is like working for a company and then giving them money so you don't have to go to work. So the story is, and this is coming from

39:12 You know, obviously it's third, fourth hand, but it's through my Dutch channels, is that Gullit discovered that the whole thing with Beckham and him and MLS and the LA Galaxy was intended to kill Major League Soccer because basketball, baseball and football in the United States need all the help they can get. And because soccer is such a worldwide sport, they want to kill it. And that's why these guys bailed, because they figured it out. That all this whole MLS thing is just to never make it successful. And there is almost like a disinfo campaign. Hmm. That's interesting.

39:52 But you know doing a good job of killing it. Yeah, well Mission accomplished. But what's there to kill? The American public has never gotten into soccer. It's considered a girls game. But think about the setup. You know the setup of having a Beckham and a Posh Spice and you know the whole Hollywood vibe with Cruz and everyone you know was trying to kind of try to make it work but they were probably putting something in their food because the team you know whether you had Beckham or not the team was just sucking. But for Beckham to pay money, to not have to go back was astounding to me. Good story. Thanks. Okay, so I'm going to jump ahead here with this. Here we go. You've been waiting for it. The public needs to know. We don't know anything about this. I just got an email from somebody. I don't know that I got permission to use his name, so I'm not going to. We'll call him Adam. Was I copied on this?

40:55 Yeah, it says right here you're actually the first gal who got it. Adam and John, my boss's wife works as a project manager for Utah's largest private construction company. Her company just won the bid to build a new eBay data center call center going up in Tooley, Utah. It's pronounced Too-il-uh. Okay, Too-il-uh. I was in Indian tribe. She was looking over the blueprints the other day and noticed something strange. There is a fence that surrounds the entire perimeter of the grounds. Next to the entry gate there is a security station. Next to the security station there is what looked on the blueprints to be some sort of an elevator that pops out of the ground. She asked her boss, the founder of the company, what the elevator was. He didn't know so they contacted some folks at eBay who told them that it was a .50 caliber machine gun turret.

41:46 As if that wasn't strange enough, this enormous building, sorry I don't remember the square footage, this thing only has 75 parking spaces. Well it's a data center, you don't need a lot of parking spaces for a data center. True, you don't. Well it's supposed to be, it's also a call center I guess. Oh really? Yeah, and he does say, I'm looking at the mail now, data center, call center. So it's a call center, but still maybe only, but 75 is, So the folks at eBay said that this is, that's a .50 caliber machine gun turret. Yeah, what do you think that could be? Is this like a prison they're building? There's a lot of dual purpose buildings going up here and there. Are you sure it was eBay not FEMA? I mean, you know, you could get it kind of confused, but... I don't know, maybe. Unbelievable. Something else happened over here that may have made the press, which I did just want to comment on.

42:46 The business secretary here in the UK, Peter Mandelson, was attacked by Plain Stupid, which is a green group, and they threw green custard all over him. Did you see any of this at all? No, I don't anything about this So what happens in the parking lot and there's a couple of things that are really astounding. So first of all plain stupid are They were one of the most vocal groups who want to stop the approval of a third runway at Heathrow. I So there's all kinds of cameras and the guy drives up to Whitehall and he gets out of his car, and the cameras are always a little distant. And this woman just walks up to him and he leans over, you know, he's kind of a tall guy, to hear what she has to say. And then she has a cup of what looks like coffee in her hand and she throws this right in his face and it's green custard.

43:36 and so this whole thing has been one big joke, it's being laughed off, you know, he laughed it off. This woman by the way just walks away. You know, the cameras follow her, so she throws this custard in his face, no one apprehends her, no one jumps on her, she just walks away and two days earlier she was in some public meeting place, it was a very funny idea by the way, but she had an air horn and whenever someone said something she didn't like, she'd toot the air horn and say, oh I'm sorry that's my lie detector, I forgot to leave it at home. And so she kept tooting, which is very funny. That's a good gag, I like it. But she's terrorizing. Let me say one thing. Throwing something into someone's face is a huge

44:21 huge hugely aggressive act and I really am severely against it and I've seen this happen this is Pim Fortuyn before he was assassinated by an animal nut shot six times in the head Dutch politician two weeks before he was going to win the election which he did posthumously they threw a like a cow pie in his face This is really very, extremely aggressive behavior. I don't care what your point of view is, that is violence and I'm really against it. And the government laughing it off are a bunch of tools and idiots. Good point. I'm not going to argue with you on that. Links in the show notes at noagenda.mevo.com. I have some maybe related news. Anthony Weiner

45:20 It's funny that his name popped up in this research. He is... I interviewed... Weiner popped up? Pun intended. Representative Anthony D. Weiner, Democrat from New York, who I interviewed for CNN when he was just starting out in his political career, very young guy, tall guy, has been arguing for H-1B visas for models. He feels that a thousand H-1B visas, which allows foreigners to work in our country, in the United States,

45:56 He says, you know, it's a real problem if we can't get these models in. We need at least a thousand models a year to have reserved visas, which on one hand, I like it, I think it's pretty funny. But it got me into a whole bunch of other pieces of research and I stumbled upon this something that happened just yesterday because of the rumors about this company been going around for so long. Thank God the mail was all on top of it. The CEO of the elite modeling agency was arrested on cocaine charges in Paris but the guy was using he had just bought 120 pounds worth of cocaine but consumed it before the police got to him. Holy crap! So the police seized 150 grams of cocaine, 150 grams, 750 grams of cannabis

46:49 You know, this is, there is a huge scandal to be unearthed amongst what's going on in the modeling and fashion world. You know, we got fashion models committing suicide. Just look at them on the runway, they look like they're drugged out. Yeah, well, maybe that's the case. If you can't cover it up, turn it up. This is one big, if you want to go after slave trade and prostitution, bust open the fashion world. It's atrocious what they're doing to these 14, 15 year old girls and it's douchebags like this, Mr. Hennet, 35, chief executive of elite world models. They are the ones that are at the center of this trade and it needs to be exposed. Bertrand Hennet. I hope you got that off your chest.

47:41 It's horrible. It really, really is horrible. Look at one of these runway shows and these models, they look like they're coked up. Yeah. And the smart thing the fashion industry has done is let's just make the raccoon look and the wiped out mascara that makes them look like heroin addicts. That's just to cover up the fact that they're heroin addicts. Another guy, Anil John, was found guilty of sex abuse on models. There's an Indian guy who was also running models. I mean, it's between 14 and 21 years old these girls are. It just pisses me off. Really does. So on a lighter note... Well, I thought that was pretty light. We talked about models and... You know, so Wiener's in this scandal, clearly. He's trafficking the girls in and handing them off to the drug dealers.

48:42 What do you need to bring more models in for there's so many models in this country already? Well that's because you need to get the foreigners in man. Like with no history, no papers, no backgrounds, you can trade them easier. Yeah, sounds like it. H1B. You know people haven't, the justification for H1Bs in this job market is really on thin ice. Microsoft for example is going on about well you know we have to lay off a bunch of people, we got to keep our H1B people. Why do you think that is? Because they're cheaper? Because they're the world's greatest coders? Well, that's what Eric Schmidt says. Okay, so what are we looking at with these products they produce? So I installed Ubuntu.

49:27 Oh really? It's a fun OS. I've done that in the past. It's really nice. I'm actually impressed with it. What's cool about it is that if you get 8.1 and you download the ISO and make a CD out of it, the thing is not only installs from this disc, but you also access a live CD. So you can actually, you can plug it into any, uh, any windows machine and it'll just even a Mac. I think you can put that CD into and it'll just boot up Ubuntu. Yeah. And you can even burn, you can put it onto a thumb drive and then you can have your own customized desktop. It's quite advanced and it comes with good tools and it kind of just works. I was impressed.

50:07 So people, in fact they just wrote a column that's going to run on Monday, PT Magazine. So, hey, Becky Worley showed up. She's working on ABC News now. Oh yeah? So she's been assimilated? She's been assimilated, but she did a story that, I don't think they lightened up the story, but they did a story on Nightline about teenagers being addicted to text messaging. Yeah, and then they highlighted one girl who apparently did last month I don't know how the parents you text messaging costs a lot of money Well, you get you get X you get your bundle you get X amount for free you get five hundred last month She did thirty six thousand six hundred and sixty six text messages was that just sending or receiving or both? I think it was sending

50:58 Which is a thousand a day, a little more than a thousand a day. Jeez. They showed her. So how many is that an hour? That doesn't make sense. She just has to be texting all the time, but she showed her she's so good that she doesn't have to look at the keyboard on the little, you know, device she's got and she can do it behind her back. She's like Jimi Hendrix playing the guitar. Well, these are star children, John. You know, just because they've adapted right out of the cradle to the new forms of communication and interfaces. Whereas we had to not just learn, but in some cases create.

51:36 the forms of communication, it's been handed to them on a silver platter and they grab it and you know they're super intelligent beings. I do believe in evolution, they've got to be smarter than me and just like I'm smarter than you, just purely because of evolution. So somebody just sent me a note saying it's $30 a month unlimited on T-Mobile. Okay, so anyway, the other story which they didn't bring up for some reason, I couldn't believe that, you know, the Nightline show run, but the guy that's, I can't remember his name, who's the host, he's just this dour Indian guy who's just got no sense of humor whatsoever. They had one of the, they did a segment on how these,

52:19 Titty Bart style restaurants like Hooters are actually making money in the downturn and then they mentioned two specifically new places that are opening up in Texas. One of them, Bone Daddy's, which by the way has some of the, yeah Bone Daddy's, and Bone Daddy's which has four stores doing six million dollars a month has some of the best looking waitresses I've ever seen. I mean, unbelievable. And then the other one, the other chain that's opening up in Texas again, because they got a lot of good looking women down there so they can do this, is called Twin Peaks. That was a pretty funny name. And Twin Peaks is an operation that's moving into the various Ruby Tuesdays that are folding all over the state. They're moving into their premises? Yeah.

53:11 And, anyway, so at the end of this segment, this guy has his, the guy doing the packages has himself showing himself with all the girls around him from each of the restaurants. And so they show him with a group of babes and him with another group of babes and him with another group of babes. And then they go back to this Martin Bashir, who's this host of Nightline, who's who just said and that was so-and-so and so he said like it was the funniest thing you've seen for a while on this show and this guy can't break a smile can't say anything funny and you know it's just the worst show this nightline with this guy it's imaginable anyway well then what they missed on the on the nightline show was another trend which they're starting to talk about and the and the new term is out to the new meme is sexting

54:00 Oh yeah, sexting. Instead of texting. And sexting, which I was just stunned that they didn't even bring it up, is these kids, again teenagers, who just text message constantly, sending lewd pictures of themselves to their girlfriend or whatever. Which girls are now being arrested for because that's child pornography. You're actually storing and transferring child pornography if you're underage. And they're being arrested for it. Yeah, I know. There's a bunch of arrests being made. These kids are going, arrested for what? Yeah, because you sent a naked picture. That's child pornography right there. Wait a minute, it's my own picture. You can't send it to anyone. That breaks all the laws right there.

54:41 I know these kids are befuddled by this and they're all a lot of you know There's some kid that was you know thrown in the slammer and they had you know and girls. Yeah 13 year old girls Yeah, well, there's also boys as some pictures of their dick No, but they get a criminal record and oh, they're sick and they have to go to the psychiatrist and Child Protective Services will come and take him away It's just another reason for all of that shit. You know, I'd like to stick to the Apple community We have something called I cheat What's I cheat well you know I chat yeah, well, so that's I cheat you have sex to yourself, and you have I cheating Okay, because it's a full-on Video audio great quality experience with chroma key backgrounds. Oh, you're gonna do chroma keys with I chat well It's yeah, it's it's a kind of chroma key. Yeah, it's automatic it says step out of the frame and then you You step out of the frame and then it keys

55:39 You know, it's best if you have a white wall behind you, obviously, or some even color. And you can do a quick time movie or just a picture. It's pretty cool. You can really customize your experience. And you can have multiple people on, can share the desktop. It's iCheating. Now, brought to you by Mattel and Apple. iCheating for kids. Well, they should throw all these kids in jail, apparently. All right, so the big topic for me. Which I'm pretty sure showed up on Dvorak.org slash blog as underreported news is Baxter International, the flu virus vaccine company who sent a lethal mixture of flu vaccine and bird flu

56:34 to uh, they say four but I'm pretty sure it was 18 European countries to distributors and one of the distributors for whatever reason maybe just because you gotta test this shit tried it out on some ferrets and the ferrets died immediately and it turns out that they were sending out flu vaccine mixed with H5N1 virus known as bird flu. Yeah, well, somebody's, you know, that's it. Here's the problem, Adam, and I, you have to agree with me on this one. You know, they, this bird flu thing just kind of didn't go anywhere. We were hoping for the outbreak so we could have a pandemic and it never happened. So the thing to do is to load up some vaccine and send it to Europe and maybe get this thing started. Right. That's exactly what this is, John. I'm glad you laid it out so clearly.

57:21 Because we know that the thing that they haven't been able to do yet with bird flu and yes all Pharmaceutical companies and I'm the dick that goes in and reads the 10 Q's and the 10 K's They all boast about their half a billion or billion dollar pipeline of flu vaccine and specifically avian flu vaccine. You can see it right there. It says we have avian flu vaccine and we have a contract with the government. The stimulus bill has actual billions of dollars appropriated for avian flu and other airborne illnesses written right into it. But they can't get it going because it doesn't transfer from human to human yet. So clearly the theory is if you mix it in with the flu vaccine, which John I might point out you take every single time it's available, and then it's mixed up with a bird flu, you could get a hybrid that is an airborne version of human to human H5N1 virus, i.e. human bird flu. Right? Anything's possible.

58:25 So, is this being reported at all in the United States? At all? I've seen a couple of mentions of it, mostly on blogs. It's not all over the news that I can tell. Yeah, because it's Europe. It's Europe. Who gives a shit about Europe? That Gordon Brown guy, give him some DVDs. Who cares about Europe? Where's Amy Weinstein when you need her? Amy Weintraub. That's even better. So, you know, John, give me some feedback here, man, because I'm really outraged by this. And I've put a whole bunch of links in the show notes. There were some homeless people that in Poland, they did trials on them with flu vaccine and these homeless people died. And so now that's been exposed. So, you know,

1:01:07 But this just blows me away. And you know, Baxter International is a publicly listed company. Its stock actually went up when they admitted it. Yeah! I didn't notice that. It went up like 90 cents. They admitted, oh yeah, we messed that up. Oh, everyone was like, yeah, they're on it! Quick, invest! This is a good way to go! Make some money! Yeah, they should probably be thrown in jail. I'm going to make a prediction right now. Remember I told you about that Jade Goody? The girl who's dying of what initially was cervical cancer. The big brother celebrity. Oh, right, right, right. So my prediction is...

1:01:50 And it's horrible, but somewhere between this program and probably, it won't probably last, take more than four to six weeks, they will start using her death, her imminent death, as a reason for people to go get this bogus HPV vaccination. Which of course might be mixed up with bird flu! If you, if they start doing that, make some, some, Fine, you know get make some clips of them on the show some clips example I think you're absolutely correct and why wouldn't they but yeah exactly and and it's disturbing John. It's just fucking disturbing

1:02:28 But that bird flu thing is pretty bad. I mean, it's like, why? How did it get in there in the first place? What was it doing? I mean, what were they doing playing with it? I mean, how did it? Yeah, well, I guess it's, you know, this definitely, uh, I don't get why the media wasn't all over this thing and trying to follow up and doing some investigative reporting and how did the bird flu, what were they doing with bird flu in the first place? And there's nothing, we get nothing. These guys are horrible. I mean, it's gotten to the point. You know, where like I was, you know, mentioning earlier that the stuff that they're doing is so lame and shallow now that it's just, it's pathetic. They're so brazen. They're just out in the open. You know, it's climate change. Everything's happening around you. There's, you know, we're entering into that phase where there was a great article. I think someone copied you on, it was an email from Nancy Levant.

1:03:24 Let me just bring this up for a second was called the United shame of America and I'd never heard this This term before but she talks about green communism better known as communitarianism Had you heard that term? No. No, I don't remember this one. I like it communitarianism So that's basically green communism and it really talks about you know how and she's talking from the US perspective and I think it's it kind of you know kind of goes for Most countries where people are listening is that we want it this way. We let it happen You know because we just you know, we just can't be bothered and you know, yeah We'll just give it up and let someone else do it. You know, we'll take it goes even Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude doesn't mean that we can't be in servitude It's just not involuntary and with her point of the article is it's voluntary and that's just who we are and who we've become and

1:04:24 I'll put the link in the show notes, but it's a pretty good article. I thought you were copying on that. I figured you would have read it. No, that one's got me. But I think communitarianism is a good one. I like communitarianism. Because it really is much closer to what's happening. So another, just mention one thing, get it off my list of stuff. So I guess of the five science advisors, the most interesting one is this Sharon Long. L-O-N-G? L-O-N-G. She's a former Stanford professor. She's now on the Obama administration. And she was, before she went to Stanford for a very short stint, about a year, she was on the board of directors of Monsanto. Oh! You're kidding! It's another episode of Shadow Puppet Theater with Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak in the morning.

1:05:22 And most people think that it was planted in the Obama administration or brought in so she could straighten them out. Pun intended, planted. Hello? Yes. And so they could straighten them out about labeling because the biggest thing that Monsanto tries to do and they tried to do this and they ruined the careers of some radio personalities in Florida. I think they sued them into oblivion. who are making a fuss about the fact that Monsanto was going around from state to state to get this local, this is why they want to by the way federalize all this agriculture stuff and make the states stooges so they don't pull this kind of crap because that way you only have to go to one source to get the law the way you want it instead of state to state to state. So Monsanto was going around, this is a few years ago,

1:06:05 Making it illegal for people to put on their milk cartons Does not contain any milk from cows given BST which is that bovine? Yeah, whatever it is that makes them produce more milk It's a shot they give these cows and next thing you know they're cranking out tons of more milk by the way I've tasted the milk from that process shit. No, it's this case like water. Yeah, that's that would be shit. Oh Yeah, it's just watery. It's like, what is this? What's the point? Why don't I just drink water? How did the radio hosts get into trouble? I don't see the connection. Apparently they got sued or something. Just a nuisance suit from Monsanto and they just started making their lives miserable. They got them fired. There's a story about that. We'll have to dig it up and we'll go over it in detail because it's a disgusting tale. Sharon R. Long, PhD, very interesting. Her current research as of this writing

1:06:57 uses molecular, genetic and biochemical techniques to study the early stages of symbiosis. So she's a gene splicer. Yeah, well anyway the idea is that she's coming in the Obama administration to make sure that, because Obama, among his other promises that he has reneged on, he's promised that genetically modified foods will be clearly labeled. Yeah, and dangerous. But as long as they're labeled it's okay. Right, the danger, well, yes. But they have to be clearly labeled. Monsanto does not want them labeled at all. No. Duh. Because their argument is, you know, their argument is there's no difference between the genetically modified food and regular food. Except that 50% of mice die after eating genetically modified food. There's no difference otherwise. Well, you know, there's the mice.

1:07:56 Anyway, so she's in there as the stooge for Monsanto, while this other woman, this Congresswoman whose husband has connections, Monsanto is an amazing... It's a total takeover. It's an amazing operation. I mean, it's astonishing to me that they are as good as they are in terms of this kind of thing. How are they doing as an investment? Probably really good. I don't know. It's definitely got the corner on the market for this stuff. And you, Chris, now there's a... I have not been able to prove this. I would have talked about it as a story item. Supposedly, there's something, they're only using Monsanto seeds or some genetically engineered stuff for all the new agricultural plantings going on in Iraq. We won't, you know, we'd give money to everybody, but they have to use these, I don't know. I can't... Oh, I'm sure it's one of the strings that are attached. Here's the money for your new crop, but you have to use these seeds, of course.

1:08:58 And, you know, but this is happening everywhere. You can't get away from Monsanto. You just can't get away. And if you think you can, they'll spread some seeds on your land and they'll come by and then they'll fine you for it. And then unless you start buying licenses. Yeah, I know. I know that's ridiculous. I don't understand how the courts can put up with that and they can, they do it consistently. Well, because the courts and the judges are all paid and bought for it. It's all done. Okay, so Monsanto had a high of 140 and that's sitting around. It's got to be a lot lower than that It's got to be 30 40s. No. No, it's in the still in the 70s really. Well, there you go 71 65 as we speak, but let's see what the numbers look like. Let me just go quickly I don't want to make this a stock market show. No, but the peg is right on the money this company That's what the stocks are worth. So they're doing fine. Yeah, I

1:09:51 Yeah, you mean the book value versus capital? No, the peg is the price earnings growth ratio. In other words, you see what it's going to look like. The old rule of some investors believe in this rule which is that the price earnings should reflect the growth rate. And so the peg essentially tells you it does it. If it's one, it does. But it's tricky because lots of companies acquire other companies to really fuck with their PDE ratio. Yeah, it's an old trick. A couple updates. I know you're on a tight schedule because you're leaving, so I just want to rush through a couple things. We talked about the FDIC, the Federal Deposit Insurance, is that corp? Corporation?

1:10:40 federally insures the federally insurance deposit yeah federal deposit insurance corporation who said hey we're gonna run out of money if the banks don't pay us some more then we won't be able to guarantee the two hundred fifty thousand dollars you have in your bank account citizens of course this is definitely walking around with a tin cup out yeah well five hundred billion has been moved by Christopher Dodd the Senate banking chairman committee to allow the treasury to lend 500 billion, so that's another hole that is just going to walk right through. 500 billion, half a trillion dollars to insure your money. So your money insuring your money. Go figure! How does it work? How does it work? Moving right along, European banks, looks like the total nut is about 2 trillion dollars. America, thank you, you're going to pay for that. You're paying for it through your contributions to AIG.

1:11:39 Which, there will be more. Just a funny trend, both Clinton and Obama now saying, never waste a good crisis. This is kind of a theme that you'll read more and more, that politicians say, hey, you know, a crisis is really good because then you can change a lot of stuff. And so now they're just saying it, just as boldly as all this other bullshit. and uh... yeah well why not you know the public seems to be you know for one thing they're not being informed by about anything right i mean how many people and we have a couple hundred thousand people listen to our show and they probably get perked by the stories but it will you know buses yeah but you want to go back to any wine trial that's fine we're happy to do news about her

1:12:31 Have you seen Britney Spears by the way? She's kind of chubby again. She is, but the last time I saw a picture of her, you know, she looked pretty good. Well, you know, but you know, picture. I mean, like, you look at pictures on magazines, on newsstands, you don't think every single one of them is manipulated, further corrupting the young women of the universe who believe that that's the way you're supposed to look. Yeah, she does not look the way she looks on the magazine cover. Here's by the way the Associated Press has to spend their time on this story. Associated Press breaking news one hour ago. Britney Spears visits sick kids in Miami hospital. Hold on a second. Hold on a second. Hold on a second. We're not... Pop singer Britney Spears made a surprise visit to a group of sick children at Miami Children's Hospital. The 27-year-old Spears posed for photos with the children on Saturday. She's also donating $100,000 to the Big Apple Circus Clown Care Program, which brings clowns to young hospital patients. We nailed it. Totally nailed it. Good job. Good job.

1:13:37 That's the kind of news that people are getting. So I've been talking about this AIG thing. It's very hard to follow this news because now it seems like every day on C-SPAN there's 18 different banking committee meetings and you don't know which one to follow and there's all these different C-SPAN channels. But the big thing is AIG being an insurer, you know, these are the guys who insured all these bad investments and also held bad investments or basically paper of, you know, spreadsheet entries of no value. So these billions of dollars that have to go in, there's all kinds of people like representatives saying, could you please tell us what we're doing with the money? And the Treasury and the Fed are literally saying, we cannot tell you because it's counterparties. So you make a deal, right? You say, I'm going to ensure you

1:14:29 For this that you have over here so that person that that customer if you will is called a Counterparty in banking and they are of course the European banks who are two trillion in the hole But your government will not tell you that your money your tax money and the money being created on the backs of your children is going to European entities And no one can get every lawyers trying to get this get this out They just flatly refuse because oh, you know that could destroy the counter party it is an unbelievable Travesty that has taken place before your very eyes, but what was going on with Britney Spears again? She would visit a kid sick kid sick kid right okay? You know they can't you can't beat a story like that. I mean sick kids man. I mean shit You know everything for the children

1:15:24 There's a Tim Geithner's choice for deputy Tim Geithner is the Secretary of the Treasury his Assistant Annette Nazareth quit She's another one. Yeah, these guys can't she pull it out over there Well, this is you know, this is the kind of the political story everyone say hey man, you know And I don't get it in a country we have to save and kill create three and a half million jobs, the administration can't seem to hire anybody. What is going on with that? There's a lot of people who I'm quite sure be very capable of filling a lot of these positions and if not by background and skills, certainly by pure spirit and motivation. This is, you know, it's crazy. Maybe they can't buy off people fast enough, but whatever it is, they're failing big time. They don't have the house full.

1:16:17 They don't have everybody in. It is... I don't get it. Don't you... John, you're old enough. I mean that in a good way. Yeah. You know, don't you just look at this and say, this is something very different. This is... this is... this is just messed up. You know, one of the newspapers in London on that thing with Gordon Brown getting snubbed, some columnist made some allusions that Michelle Obama is a Lady Macbeth. Yeah, I read that. and she's apparently you know she didn't want to see him or she didn't want to see the British representatives Explain Lady Macbeth because not everyone understands that reference. Well as a person who is, what it implies in this regard is that she's a person who's behind the scenes manipulating things so she's the real boss she's the actual president. Gee not like that was the same with Clinton. So

1:17:16 So, and there was some thought that maybe it's because the British were slave traders or something and she still irked about that. I'm thinking, what is the possibility, although by the way I did look, I said well maybe there's something here but I couldn't find any evidence of it. It's always amused me the possibility, because you run into people like this, My wife's run into him, I've run into him, you just run into him over time. You go, and it could be anybody in the administration, it could be Michelle, it could be Rahm Emanuel. You go and you start working there and the guy comes up to you and he says, by the way, if you do something like that again, I'm going to kill you and eat your eyeballs. Which by the way, Rahm Emanuel has been known to have these type of outbursts.

1:18:03 So I mean if you're you know one of these things you do you've seen this have people who have you run into these people there they exist out there and they come up and they get you alone and they threaten you in a very creepy way out of the blue. This has to be going on in this administration because there's no other reason for these people like the guy who was the Surgeon General, he was in two days later, he says I'm out of here. I have personal reasons, he leaves, he walks. Why is this? Who went up to him and said hey, You know, if you think you're gonna get my job, I'm gonna kill you if I even see you taking a look at such and such. You know, I mean, who knows? I mean, there's somebody in that, this administration that's doing something and he's gotta be rooted out and he's gotta be fired and I, you figure out who, unless, I mean, if it was Michelle Obama, which I don't really think so. Could be. You're not gonna get rid of her, but everybody else is up fair game. Something's wrong. The most famous Rahm Emanuel story of them all is the one that begins

1:19:02 with the dinner the night after Bill Clinton was elected in 1992. This guy's been in politics for a while. Among those present at the dinner table was ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos who watched while an overwrought and clearly exhausted Emanuel began ranting at a long list of Clinton enemies as he shouted each name he stabbed the table with a steak knife. Nat Landau dead! Cliff Jackson dead! Apparently others at the table joined in. So he is a candidate. Yeah, he's a candidate. And he would have contact with everybody. But what you're saying is, it's really, it sounds like the cloak and dagger stuff that you still see on these period piece movies which always win Oscars. Where you have some guy in the shadows with a cloak and... Cardinal Richelieu. Right, and he comes out and it's like, if you do that one more time, I will kill you. You know what? You will step back and shut the fuck up. That's what you will do. Or quit. Yeah. Yeah, or withdraw, as we call it.

1:20:00 Withdrawal. That's interesting. So, wow, John, I like that theory. It's the only possible explanation. Well, I would look to the Chief of Staff to be the first possibility as the guy responsible for everything. I don't think it's that Orzac dude. He doesn't look mean enough. Although, Lady Macbeth as Michelle Obama, maybe. Maybe. She looks like she could beat me up. She could crush my head between her thighs. Pop my head like a pimple. Good point. Two anniversaries that I don't want to have pass unnoticed. It is International Women's Day today on the 8th of March 2009 and that's been going since the beginning of the 1900s but apparently mainstream media doesn't give a shit about women so that's why you're not hearing about it.

1:20:59 But maybe more interesting for this program and audience, the Global Seed Vault celebrates its anniversary. And of course the Global Seed Vault is this seed bank in the Norwegian Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, and its purpose is to replenish the world's crops in the event of a global catastrophe. Bill Gates contributed to this and there's a whole bunch of right big companies and you know people always kind of wonder what that's about You know something there's been a thing floating around the interwebs for at least a year or so that supposedly a Norwegian politician came out and told some conspiracy theorists of course some friendly conspiracy theorists with a website and a downloadable emblem that

1:21:53 You know, that there's all these underground tunnels in the mountains there, and the fjords and whatever in Norway, and there's trains that go at light speed, and there's all kinds of shit that's going on, and that's the place where all the people who are needed to survive the coming apocalypse, that they're all going to be transported there. But there's all kinds of crazy things floating around about that, which I'm sure you've never heard of. No, I haven't heard that. I didn't know that Bill Gates was involved. He paid for all the FedEx shipments of the seed. Really? Probably to get a discount from Microsoft. By the way, that's how they ship vaccines as well. Did you know that? FedEx? Yeah. So that's what the bird flu went out, FedEx? Mm-hmm. When you absolutely positively need your bird flu the next day, FedEx is there to bring it to you.

1:22:52 Sure, maybe FedEx can expand and they can just do the vaccinations as well. You know, they'll bring the vaccinations. Why don't they just arm all the FedEx guys and then when they come to deliver they just shoot you? Yeah, but that would be too... It's cheaper. I think I've spent my wad. Okay, I just want to remind people to go to Dvorak.org slash NA and help us out so we can get this and keep this show going because we do have information you're not going to find any place else. It's good stuff, it gives you something to think about and we're not beholden to anybody. That's the coolest thing. It's so wonderful to have all filters removed. But again, for the right donation, we'll give you the disinformation minute of the show.

1:23:39 Right, no problem. You know I was gonna mention that PBS has a bunch of this stuff you know they're always begging for money but the PBS is deteriorated they had a Yanni concert on the other day and then they came on asking for money and thinking you better pay me. But they've done the Yanni thing a thousand times isn't that the same concert or do they keep bringing him back? I don't know I mean it's just a horrible thing to watch. Yeah the Yanni concert's pretty bad. The Andre Rijook Viennese concert, it's actually pretty good. I like, he's a Dutch guy and he's very successful with his show that he does, which is just massive. But still, 100 bucks. You know, we're a much better deal and I think you get more bang for the buck and less yanni. There you go. Donate to the John C. Dvorak Adam Curry Library slash Winery because we guarantee less yanni.

1:24:28 No Yanni, we guarantee no Yanni. Zero Yanni. That's right. So we'll be back on Thursday with Zero Yanni coming to you from the Crackpot Command Center in Gitmo Nation East in the blustery wet southwest of London. I'm Adam Curry. And I'm John C. DeVoreg here in Northern Silicon Valley where it's sunny. And we'll talk to you again on Thursday right here on No Agenda. you
