separated by almost 1000 miles and certainly by 0.8 of a
generation. It is time once again for no agenda coming to
you from the caravan or in Guilford in the United Kingdom,
where we've had a blustery summer's day. I'm Adam curry.
And I'm John C. Dvorak here in Northern California where we've
had an outbreak of hornets.
Not quite immediately logical occurrence there.
You never know.
You've got a hive nearby. Is that it? Or is just
the show's over? I gotta take care of it.
What are beehives and hornet hives are nasty things my
friend.
Yeah, well, it's not a these are mostly wasps that are not big
hivers and I hope Okay,
so how was your Fourth of July you just got got in and I hope
people remember that. You said that we will be doing the show
on Sundays for a couple of weeks. So
right. I just got it. Yeah, it was up in Port Angeles,
Washington where we got to witness people going completely
crazy. Because the fireworks are legal. And and there's something
weirdly ironic about the fact that and it's it was very it's
just like everybody's blowing stuff up. But it was what's
weirdly ironic is that the fireworks up there tend to be
sold by Indians, of American Indians, Native Americans and
their Chinese in origin the fireworks then they're
celebrating the American Fourth of July
there's something very twisted in that isn't they're
not Yeah, sick. And you know, I don't personally understand the
need to be I mean, there's some guys I'm sure there's a bunch of
blinded kids. I mean, I've never seen anything like it was it's
the most I've seen in a while. I mean last year that the years
passed before all the the Chinese started inundating us
with all these boxes full of fireworks and by the way, on the
way in I took some maybe I'll post this video showing going
past a couple of I didn't take a picture the big one there's a
huge amount of stands, these fireworks, stents huge. They
have them in other parts of the country. But these are really
massive and they and people are buying you buy these boxes. It's
like a huge kit
like a package with all kinds of with a mixture of stuff
to Wine Crate filled with a bunch of things fun ammo,
footlocker. Yeah, it's unbelievable. And then they'll
have all these little rockets and these shells and all these
cases are we're talking about fireworks that go up in the air
and look like a company there was one guy down the street from
us who had a better fireworks display in his backyard in the
air big boomers that went way up. Then the Berkeley Marina
does every year,
which of course is no reference to me. All I know is Fourth of
July in New York City.
But that day, it's hard to top that but actually Detroit and
some other towns that gets the spectacular displays but it's
amazing what some guy can do in his backyard nowadays.
I've never been into that fireworks have never really
interested me
like I was into it when I was in the third or fourth grade.
Oh yeah, like an awesome firecracker Sure, but not really
big like that. Not in the in the same with the New Year's Eve in
in the Netherlands. Oh man, people start buying stuff weeks
ahead of time and they have all these laws that you have to
order stuff. You could order it we can actually pick it up until
the 31st of December and people go crazy. And it seems the same
thing every year seems like there's more and more fireworks
but not sold by American Indians and manufactured in China I'm
sure it's all manufactured in China.
Yeah, I think so. Whatever the case it was quite amusing. Hey,
when John once your book coming out your recessions book
any minute seriously? Yeah, like I just have to sit down at for
about three days to fit finish it
so you had the deal and everything so I mean, literally
the publisher is just waiting for you and I'm
publishing and myself until I for for starters and then I'm
gonna package give it to a publisher after that. Well, I
think the timing is right man. I think the timing is so right. I
feel like we've turned some kind of final corner or something it
feels like starting
starting to have gonna have a boom is going to be a boom right
after the election huge boom really? Oh yeah. Big time. I
mean, if this theory is correct, I mean, it could be you know,
it's not it's not my this isn't a thing I've developed from
empirical data. I mean, I'm not predicting it doesn't look right
to me either. But the fact is, it shouldn't just has to be a
nice boom and I probably will be whoever gets elected president.
Typically in an election cycle that takes all the uncertainty
out everyone plans for the you know, the guy being in office,
and so they all relaxed and they all buy back into the market and
thing takes off like a rocket
except this maybe there's a A set of conditions that are a
little bit different this time around.
The conditions are always do what actually the set of
conditions is always different, which makes it kind of amusing.
But if it's a cycle, which is what I'm arguing here,
what is this 100 180 year cycles that we are saying 80 or 100?
There's a 40 and an 80. Which is the same, you know, basically
the same cycle if you think about it,
but I thought I also think there's a there's a no agenda
cycle every week when we do the show oil seems to be up about
$2.
Yeah, it's what's it at now? What's it as you
it? Well, they actually they I think they trade over the
weekend, they mined? Let me say,
it's corrupt, who cares?
It reached 146 50 during the week at one point. For the for
the August futures. Oh, it's down. It's 144 14. But that's
that since Friday?
I don't know. I don't know what that where it's going to where
they're going to where it's going to turn I think it's going
to keep going up until after the holidays, and then it's going to
collapse. Because I think the the demand is gonna pull back so
far, that they're gonna actually have to start, you know, they're
gonna have to stuffs gonna start showing up or you're going to
have more oil than you know what to do with Where's
where's the demand pulling back? Where do you see that happening?
I will I mean, I'll do I could tell you right now going into
San Francisco every couple of days. It's like there's, it's
like a breeze. I can see the demand right out by looking out
the window.
Right. But but that's okay. That's not Chinese.
Just an example. I mean, all I know is that when things are
booming, you usually have you can tell by how many people are
out on the road, and people were just wasting their time. I don't
know why they just don't I think the demand is going to fall. I
mean, it's already statistically it's fallen off a few percentage
points, but it'll really drop off after the holidays, I think.
But unless, unless we invade Iran.
Yeah, no, I got some guy out there who's talked me into $100
bet I don't think we're going to invade arann.
Okay, well, I mean,
what's the what's the chit chat over there in Great Britain is
everyone's scared to death, we're going to invade Iran.
Well, what's happening right now is everyone's scared to death
that they won't be able to buy food tomorrow. That's, that's
what's happening over here in Europe. Central bank just raised
the interest rates by 25% 25% by 20, a quarter of a percent. So
it's 425. In most countries in Europe, the value added tax
either has now gone up or is announced to go up by 1%. In
either either in the next coming months, or by January
jump one a whole percent for value added tax. That means
everything you buy is gonna cost you a percent point more Yep.
Yep. Yep. Of course, you know, there's, there's just seems to
be more and more carbon taxes every day. So yeah, so, you
know, the house houses, house prices have fallen and are
expected to fall considerably more. There's Yeah, 50% less
activity in the actual market, less houses sold, or like 42% or
something around the 50%. Mark. Yeah, so it's, it's pretty
messed up. And the consensus or the consensus, I guess the
reporting is that now that Israel might start some trouble
and then the US would have to come to his aid and then that
would warrant some form of aggression against Iran. And of
course, the theory is that all this has to happen because of
the Iran has promised to flood cheap oil into the markets based
on the Euro
now say that you'll give me this again and so in detail the RAND
says what oh,
I guess in December of 2007 I'd have to look it up who said it
but let's Iran quote Iran said they plan to flood the world
markets with cheap oil based on the euro and they remember that
whole trading oil bores that they that they opened up and the
the rumour about the undersea cables being cut to the Isle of
Kish right. Well, the you know, so it actually opened up in
February and you know that that rumour of Iran flooding the
world market with cheap oil based on you know, trading in
euros is pretty persistent.
Well, you know, we were talking about this from the get go.
Yeah. So we nailed it.
Yeah. How cool are we that we got it? Right? We're going to
war.
Yeah. And we're not going to war. I don't think they just
can't see it.
Same John. I see. I see exactly the same thing. I see. You know,
oh, they Got to Bureau they've got some kind of nuclear
programme EB even though then the the inspectors saving. Ron
has stopped since 2003. Oh, dude, did I send you that
article about the? Was it the $400 million that Bush got from
Congress? I know I sent you the link
will tell me about it.
pulled it from the New Yorker magazine. You haven't read this?
No. Oh, shit. Hold on a sec. Well, just
tell me Give me a briefing you can summarise. Okay.
So the deal is, Bush went to Congress under asking for
special funding and because of the type of request that was,
which was for a special covert military action, which included
and that's the quote I was looking for use of deadly force.
They didn't have to actually put it to a vote or put it up for
debate in Congress, they only had to go to the so called Gang
of Eight, which is like Pelosi and whoever else. And they, they
basically approve the $400 million to be used for covert
operations in Iran with use of deadly force. All right. I would
say that that's that means something doesn't it?
Sounds like a boondoggle. What it means is some contractors are
gonna get a bunch of money Blackwater's running, they need
a gig.
Right. Well, I mean, but if it's meant specifically for a ran,
doesn't that kind of say something? And?
Yeah, shed doesn't sound good. No. $100 bed here. I'm looking
forward to.
No, it doesn't sound very good, does it? I sent you the link to
it. You should really read that
article and read it and we can discuss later.
Yeah, it's too bad. I'd sent you that as a no agenda agenda item.
Actually, maybe I did look at it. And I forgotten me. Well, I
know what it was. I put it on the you just want to see it. Oh,
yeah, I gotta read this. And then of course, I forgot all
about it.
Unlike all the stuff you send me which I diligently read
immediately. Should I in case encounter a test?
Yeah, for sure you do. So I'm coming back from Seattle. By the
way, don't eat breakfast at Anthony's at the SeaTac Airport.
Anyway, I coming back from Seattle, and they have they're
putting these these trains. They're gonna run a train from
downtown Seattle to the airport. Like you know, it was like a
subway train. Like, there's the front pages of the newspaper.
They had a picture of this tube. I saw one of them. One of these
trains it's a blue and white long, cool kind of cool looking
train. Not really that cool. But it's already looks like it looks
like a 1970s Manhattan subway train that's been hit with
graffiti taggers. Yeah. I mean, huge burner on the side of the
thing, that paint job is completely ruined. And I mean,
it's like what kind of I don't have any history? I thought
there's supposed to be all the security extra security out
there isn't there's no security at all? No. So I'm coming into
the airport, I go to the TSA. And they got this. They have
this thing now called you an expert
traveller. Who is that like the clear programme, but you
know, as part of it, but it's not the clear product, the way
to what it's turned out to be? It appears is that this my
guest, by the way, I don't know. But I just think cropped up
about two months ago, first time I saw one was in Oakland, or
this huge, long line, and I saw this little thing says expert
traveller, enter here. And it's got a little scientist attend
all of the airports have the exact same sign. So I guess they
printed a bunch of them up it says, For those familiar with
TSA procedures and you know, experienced travellers gone
there's like nobody in this line. Really? Yeah, a couple of
people followed me. But you know, I went it was just like a
straight up straight up. But then I went back to the Oakland
airport again, and they had the clear people, they're handing
out brochures to people going through the expert traveller
lineouts either. Now what I'm thinking is the following
sales pitch, it's a little taste of the good stuff of the
highlife baby.
I think what it is, I think it's a combination of things. I think
there's a I think there's Yeah, I think that's one possibility
is a marketing trick that somehow the TSA has bought into
or they just can't get enough people to rationalise it they do
enough people are signing up for the clear programme because the
only people I know that use it are basically people will find
it out in New York all the time. And they can't get enough people
to sign up for the clear programme to justify having this
extra line taking up space and all the rest of it that they
have to have a kind of a combination thing. So that and
out because this Seattle,
listen, listen, listen to Black Diamond self select lanes. Is
that could that be what you're talking about?
Here well, that's not what it's called here.
Okay, TSA is listening to passenger feedback to improve
The checkpoint experience. That is why TSA launched the Black
Diamond self select programme. Since then, since this Salt Lake
City, Utah The programme has rapidly expanded to 21 airports
the goal of self select is to enable expert travellers who
know TSA procedures, who know TSA procedures well to go
through checkpoints quickly and efficiently, efficiently, while
giving families and others with special needs more time and
assistance. There you go. It's a it's the Black Diamond expert.
And then we have the casual lane. And then we'll have the
family and special needs lane. Oh, this is a whole new
programme that we're working on, John.
Yeah. Well, that's the Black Diamond expert I've been using.
And I would take my family into that too.
Excuse me, sir. The Black Diamond is not for families.
That's, you need the other line.
So anyway, the so I get in the Black Diamond lane, and I'm
flipping you know, it's pretty quick to get get out. And I, but
I get to the part where the guys are checking your ID and now
they've gone through some new. Here's a map of the Black
Diamond for people out there. It looks like San Francisco,
Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego, Portland, Seattle, for the West
Coast folks. Who maybe Spokane and then Boise, Idaho, Utah, and
then Chicago, New York. Anyway. So they got this new process,
the guys are so slow. Normally, they you know, especially in
most places that you look at your thing, you know, as long as
your licence matches your ticket. Now, these guys, all of
them on it, see how we're doing the following. First, they take
your driver's licence, or passport. And then they they
take like a, like, one of those things, you look at diamonds
with what we call a loop loop, where you go right up against
the thing, and they look at it and then they slash
to they have a loop with a little chain around their neck.
So if they can just drop it off like a diamond che
No, but they should good suggestion, you should mention
that these lines. And then they have this little blue light and
they hold it up against dead like the drivers as they hold up
against it. They're looking for something that's on the licence,
I guess. Yeah. So they said then, you know, that's not bad
enough, then they you know, they then they hold the lice. This
this one, I think both people were doing this, the guy holds
the licence up in the air and puts the picture of inhales at
such a distance that the picture of your head and your head which
because you're standing there, he looks at it, I guess maybe
goes cross side to see if he can match the face.
He's always holding it up next year, next year head. Yeah,
basically,
in free air, of course, up in the air kind of in and he's
looking at your head and then moving the thing to a distance
to your head and the picture is the same size to you know.
And he's like, it does take his fingers have tried to squeeze
your head between it from a distance. I have you know, I'm
crushing you stupid expert traveller.
So I mean, it's like took five minutes. I mean, it's
unbelievable. I mean, what's the point you can't look at the
licence and look at somebody's he was the same person have to
hold you and the way they were doing I have to assume some
bureaucrat, you know, came up with this idea because somebody
in Pittsburgh or wherever got through with a different licence
in their name or something pass. So they want to make sure it is
the same person that isn't going through this process, which is a
time killer. I thought it was ludicrous. Then of course, they
had to open one of my bags up because I was bringing back a
bunch of
so here you go from the TSA website. Did you know The
average traveller takes up four feet of space at the checkpoint
taking roughly 32 seconds to divest their belongings, and 42
seconds to compose at the end of the checkpoint. These numbers
may seem insignificant for one traveller but when you consider
that about 2 million passengers go through checkpoints every day
it adds up please, please do not try to put shoes or boots with
zippers or laces on right when you take them out of the bins
move to the side to let other passengers take their items and
go there's no sign and of course there's not any side to move to
either move
forward or backwards you don't move to the side. Unbelievable.
You know meanwhile all the stuffs in the bins so you gotta
you can't care all that stuff you have to put it back where it
belongs and the pat in the bags. So you can't you know just move
to the side and you know I don't know it's of course it's a
systems bad and then once in a while you run into where they
did just no bid you know the guys don't keep the bins you
know, refreshed
that one guy you're waiting for like you know dude because you
pick up some bins and bring them over here like we got no bins.
Yeah. Tonight on the BBC and I will tape this for you. I bought
a system specifically to be able to tape stuff for you.
To be burned to DVDs. Yeah,
well Oh yeah record it and then burn it to DVD hold on where
it's at nine o'clock HOLD ON THE CONSPIRACY files. Here you go
and investigation into the final mystery of 911 now cool yeah
well but bla bla bla bla bla nearly seven years on the
eagerly awaited final official report on the World Trade Centre
will be published in July official event invest this is
about building number seven official investigators are
expected to conclude that fire caused the collapse of this
third tower the World Trade Centre, but that would make this
the first and only skyscraper in the world to collapse solely due
to fire blah, blah, blah. Here it is. Oh, oh, they don't they
have a different description on the BB webs BBC website that I
read in the newspaper. Do the conspiracy files explores the
many unanswered questions in an attempt to find out what
happened and why some people think there was a sinister plot
to destroy the building. What it said in the newspaper actually,
a little blurb about this was it all it takes to task all of
those crazy conspiracy theories and shows how they're ridiculous
and completely unfounded. So this is kind of interesting,
because a here finally you know, here's someone countering. Well,
coming from the BBC is what really makes it interesting. But
of course, the BBC has never aired any type of documentary
about you know, the conspiracies and the theories, only this
debunking show. So it should be kind of cool.
Ya know, it sounds like a winner. Yeah, we'll probably get
the it'd be a race between you getting me the discord showing
up on YouTube.
Yeah, right. Probably before I even get up in the morning.
It'll be on YouTube. So Right.
So I have a bunch of weird posts on the blog that a couple of us
should we should discuss, okay. By the way, some guy in this, I
was thinking we're going to discuss this anyway, I see that
Ed Campbell already. Yeah, he did post it, which is Oregon.
And I can just
say one thing before we start, John, because I said something
last week that I regret saying, and one of your people actually
emailed me about it. Now I at one point, I said, we were
having a discussion about posting on the blog, and I said,
Well, you know, you've got a whole army of bootlicking
lackeys who who post for you. I did get some email about that.
And I don't know how many of them you have these associates.
But I do apologise to all of them. That was misdirected anger
in the heat of the moment. Was just pissed off at John. No
offence intended.
We pissed off at me. I don't know you were always because you
are full of hot air. You are full of shit. Yeah. Oh, here we
go. Okay, let's go big. That's fine. I'm sure they all nobody
listens to the show that does the blog. me assure you. Okay,
except for because ever Baba
Baba didn't complain, dude.
No, he doesn't complain. He's not a complaint. Well, I
shouldn't say that. Shouldn't say anything? To be honest.
Let's just move on. Let's share
balloon is to land safely in Idaho.
Yeah, I did hear about this. I heard something I think on the
on the BBC this morning. So this is one of these guys who loaded
up his lawn chair with balloons and flew away.
250 I think I said let me see if I get to decide 250 miles or
something. Cool. From Oregon to Idaho over the hills, mountains.
And as you see the picture, I mean, it's a bunch of semi the
length balloons, big balloons, you know, filled with helium and
he's hanging on a lawn chair.
sent me the link through Skype. I'm gonna say it. Yeah. And the
last time a guy did that. He got taken away to get taken down but
they forced them to land because he actually flew up and there
was a 747 that song. That's how high was
this guy? He got that hide on thing? Yeah, but there you go.
But it's what's weird about it. And so he controlled his
altitude. He obviously had to be an expert balloon
to shoot the balloons right with a BB gun. Yeah, he had a
BB gun and he would like shoot a balloon to get this you know, go
down a little bit. It's just funny. Now
some other guy did the exact same thing this guy looks like
his setup is pretty sophisticated actually.
Yeah, looks Yeah. Still lopsided on one side but it's got like
the big bunch at the bottom and he's got like a kind of a table
top of it to Tom.
Was it really? Was he really their lawn chair?
Well, I can't tell I don't know. That's what everyone said. Oh,
there you go.
Look, if you if you click through the link, you get a
couple pictures. Oh, I mean, that's like a super duper. It is
a lawn chair. But it's on a on a whole rig. It looks like
it's got all kinds, you know, dangling from a lawn chair.
I think the other guy actually hooked up a lawn chair.
That's cool. Yeah, that's it for Even with the
power to the pioneers of flight a
Those are big balloons, Emma's taking a few tanks. So cool. And
here's the other one that you would should be interested in,
which is the post right underneath the one there. The
blog. Hi in tofu vegetarian diet causes dementia, or our humorist
Steven Nuland did the post is or is it the other way around,
which is, if you think about it, you have to be demented to have
a high vegetarian type tofu diet. But this is we've been
talking about this. My son had done some research on this some
time ago, us because he turned up some weird data that says
that tofu or actually soy?
Brain, yeah.
And then those most of those posts that have anything to do
with that, you'll find a couple of things. They're all missing,
they're all gone. They're all been taken down ruined. And you
also find that when you run into nutritionist or people who make
public pronouncements about soy or anything bad about it, they
they get hounded by the soybean Institute, or whoever they are,
they have a public relations company that that's very
aggressive. And if you want to do some research on soybean out
there, anyone wants to do this, you'll find the following
interesting kind of a coincidence. If you do go to all
these different sites to talk about soybeans, and how you know
there. Somebody might question whether the holes, soy culture
is good for you, you'll find like a question and answer thing
that says, Well, you know, here's the thing, here's the
myths about soy, you know, bad for you, or whatever. And you'll
find that you'll find that and every one of these sites,
everything is curiously worded exactly the same indication, of
course of tampering by public relations firms. And in fact, it
becomes really obvious after a while, if you started to trying
to find bad stuff out about soy to Google searches, you will
find the same litany of information that is worded
almost identically, and it's all over the place. So they really,
they've done a good job of saturating the media with their
pitch, which of course, is to sell more soybeans, because
that's what they do. I mean, they're in the United States.
We're big soybean country now. And the Canadians do this same
thing with canola oil, which is rapeseed oil. People, I always
like to still question I always 90% of people out there, you can
say to him, you so what's a canola? You know, what is it?
You know, canola oil. What's, what's the canola? Yeah, it's
just the name right? Just a brand name? Canola? Yeah, it's
a Canadian oil with low acidity is what it means. Right, canola?
So I wonder what is the Codex Alimentarius say about soy?
It's a good question. You're really on to that. That's what
we're supposed to talk about this week. We were gonna
tell I didn't really prepare anything about it. Did you? Did
you look at anything about the codecs
that you mentioned? I just remember it now.
What I know about it, is that it the Codex Alimentarius stands
for code. It was at the food code or the food law, I think is
what it is. And it was started by the World Trade Organisation.
And so the theory goes, of course, is that, you know, this
is really an evil plot by the pharmaceuticals to control what
we eat. And the first noticeable effects of it not only being
quote harmonised, as it is being in Europe, but I think being
brought into law in the US in a year or two. Is the you send me
something here.
Yeah. Something else go ahead.
Is that your your food supplements? And you know, what,
yeah, organic, you know, organic supplements that those will be
outlawed, basically. That's where it starts.
Like, I love it. These guys are passing this let's outlaw this,
just like they tried to do with raw milk. Well, I
think it's actually happening, then, in fact, the Codex is
French put up with this. How do they French tolerate this? The
French are like they do their own thing. They can't be putting
up with this much longer.
I don't know. I don't know. France is one of the countries
that has already implemented it. I know that Britain has they
already started to ban some some foods, some supplements. I think
some and it's and what they're saying it's not necessarily
about the supplements themselves, but how much and you
know, so what the what the government are saying based on
the, the jurisprudence if you will have something set out by a
trade organisation, not the health organisation, but the
World Trade Organisation is that you know, there's only X amount
of say vitamin C that you're allowed to have and You it
should be illegal for you to have any more than that. That's
kind of what it boils down to.
Yeah, nanny state. Welcome to the new world order.
You know, and don't say
that to throw Linus Pauling in jail. Who's that? Linus Pauling
is the guy who made the connection between vitamin C and
not ever getting sick or whatever he is the guy you know,
one of the one two Nobel Prizes. A famous guy just died a few
years back, but he's the was the vitamin C nut. And you know,
great, one of the great figures in science, and now he'd been
jailed based on this kind of thing.
Well, you put all these when you put all these things together,
and then you know what you were talking about. Just Just last
week, of course, we both got a whole bunch of email about
Monsanto and how you said, Oh, you watch people are gonna get
sued overseas falling into their in onto their land. I mean, this
shit is actually happening. I mean, they've even patented pigs
John. They have trade this patented pigs to here. This is
crazy.
This is probably a pig. I wouldn't want to eat.
No, but still, you know, it's not. I mean, that's what I mean.
It's like we're turning some kind of corner man is, all of
this stuff is now starting to happen. All of a sudden Soylent
Green. What's that movie that everyone should revisit? By the
way if you haven't seen it, Soylent Green? Soylent Green.
You've
never Soylent Green. Now, I'm sorry. Oh,
S O Y as in soy bean. L e. N T. Soylent? Green. I
got it science fiction movie. One of the
great, great, great cult films ever. If you watch it, you'll go
out what a great movie.
Well, certainly it's available somewhere on somebody's illegal
site.
So it may be well I'm sure it is. But of course,
Viacom will have this information within seconds.
But yeah, I'm surprised you haven't seen Soylent Green. It's
like it's a seminal you have to everyone has to have seen this
movie is one of the most important movies to watch in
terms of this type of dystopian dystopia view of the of the
future very entertaining very rich a funny movie. Okay. So
anyway, so I sent you this link school boys did this into into
telegraph co you got UK famous newspaper, school boys
disciplined for refusing to pray to Allah. To school boys were
allegedly disciplined after refusing to kneel down and pray
to Allah during a religious education lesson. Were in
Britain. Well, let's see. Chester Cheshire County Council
must be Britain
so I don't understand was this Muslim school?
No, it was a regular public school there in England your
fear your country?
My adopted homeland. Wow. Okay, that's kind of weird.
I think it's totally weird. They're making a big deal. I
mean, of course the kids you know, what am I you know, they
don't know that they make you do genuflect and do the sign of the
cross. You know, like a Catholic does or make you you know, take
peyote because of you know, if some Indian or you know, Native
American religion was why they make them these kids bowed and
you know, face the east and prayer to pray to Allah does
crazy. What's wrong with that country? I
don't know. But But look at this picture and tell me what's wrong
with that picture. So there's a picture here of looks like maybe
10 school boys. And they're all praying, presumably towards the
east and then there's a little girl who's kind of standing up
in the middle and then the background is looks like a video
camera on a tripod. What's the picture about man telling me?
I didn't know you had to get a hold of the heath Clift O'Malley
who apparently took the picture. They still named kids Heath.
glit.
Luke Yeah, they should do that. Some kid over. You came over
here the other day. One of Christina's friends is Hi, my
name is blue. I said what was your nickname? No, that's my
name. Blue.
His name was what blue? Blue Blue. Just blue like veal, u e.
b l
e EBLUE. Blue. Yeah, my name is blue and it says my brother's
name is Art for Art Garfunkel and my other brother's name was
Herbie for Herbie Hancock. What was the blue for that nice
colour sky?
Hippies. Yeah,
I guess so.
All right. What else we got here?
Oh, The Guardian had a big scoop. Guardian newspaper. over
here, they got a hold of a secret report. I'm always pretty
wary when I read. They got a hold of some secret report from
the World Bank, and their food Economist has and this will be I
presume this will be pretty big news in the papers on Monday.
Their food Economist has come out and said, Well, you know
what? The incredible rise in prices of food 70% of that is
caused by biofuels.
Oh, yeah, that's what we've been suspecting.
But 70% Come on. Well,
it doesn't take much I guess the food thing is like, you know,
kind of a it's not a it's not because it because food, you
know, you can't keep it forever you. I mean, it's, you know,
it's a perishable. Here's, here's the way only make so much
and you got a population increase, it doesn't take much
to imbalance the system.
Yeah. Lately, what I'm what I've been seeing, well, first of all,
the all of the trade that the whole trade system, I guess, is
pretty fucked up about, you know, who, who was who can
export to where and who can import from where I mean, that's
that that situation by itself looks pretty messed up. But
apparently, because of all the subsidies, a lot of farmers
switched to growing grain instead of other cereals. And,
you know, it's like, almost quadrupled the output of corn.
And, of course, they're selling that, you know, that that's
working out fine. But then now there is some drought in
Australia and stuff so that, you know, there's just a shortage
because the the farmers didn't make anything that people needed
to eat.
You know, the corn thing also subsidised? I mean, we're,
you're actually because of all these, and I blame the greenies
on this one, you know, everybody's all jacked up, about
finding alternative sources of energy. So they just let's make,
let's use food, to power our cars.
And it turns out, you need the same exact amount of energy, you
know, it's like, you can almost count person for person, cereal
for cereal, the energy levels, you know, how much energy people
need? I mean, it's almost a science. I mean, that seems like
numbers could have been done pretty easily on that one.
Whatever. It's just, it's crazy. But that says that, you know,
there's a funny, there's a very interesting I don't have the
code here for but there's a really weird derivative out
there. You know, there's these strange these new stock market
derivatives that you can trade like stocks, the American Stock
Exchange's like specialising in a lot of these things. And
there's a group of them that essentially, when you invest in
this stock, you're actually investing in an index for food
companies. And you can buy into what's cool about it for people
who have an investment fund, and you know, and they've always
wanted to short the market, which you can't do with a 401 k,
right? You can buy these stocks or derivatives, they're called,
you know, d t, some I can't remember they they're like
options, aren't they? No, no, these are actually they're not
like options. Options expire, these don't. But you can buy
these on the short side, the end that you should actually short
the index by by going long. So you can do it. You can put
shorts into your 401k. But the but there's a group of these
called Ultras, and I'm Ruby, I'm going to be talking about this
or writing about this elsewhere. When I figure out how to how it
works. Why do I kind of know how it works, but it's just, I don't
know, you know,
you want to sucker people in until you're ready for him.
That's what you're saying exactly.
It's like, for one thing, there's a lot of these things
and they're all over the place. And they have different kinds of
qualities, but there's one group called Ultras, if you would have
in bet you end up with a kind of an investment in all these food
companies and if the food companies double in value, the
ultra quadruples, ah, so, but if it goes down it quadruples the
other way, too. So you can get yourself you can lose your money
really fast.
Right? But but you know, there's also people like starving, John.
Yeah, and I'm trying to decide which is more important.
How to make money off of it or how to worry about people being
hungry.
Well, the question the question is, is, is once people come to
the realisation that we're starving the public because of
this idiotic corn based fuel will they go back to planning
regular corn, you know, to feed people and will that send all
these food companies so we're talking about Archer Midland,
McDaniels these you know, these these big food companies? Would
there would the stock go down or would it go up? I can't figure
that out. I mean, maybe it was gonna keep going up as we keep a
food shortage would that give everybody like the oil scam?
Will it just make everybody who's in that business make a
lot more money? Eat? Or will?
Well, I mean, surely surely the price of food is also partially
at least influenced by the price of fuel. Yeah, that should be a
part of it. Yeah. Right. So
he got a double whammy. Also, there's a big demand coming from
China, although I think China's there's a lot of weird stuff
happening in China. They think Ted Koppel spending a lot of
time in China.
But yeah, China's oil demand is like up by 2 million barrels a
day or something like
that. Yeah. But they're just gonna they're just going and
raping Africa. They don't even need our help.
Really? Why? I know about the Africa thing, but you know, our
help. I mean, where are they getting their oil from? They're
getting it from Russia. Are they getting it from from
Russia and Africa? And you know, they're not wherever they can
get it. Best Price.
And what does that Russian oil trade in dollars?
I don't know. We will get we're obviously you don't know much
the two of us.
Yeah, we really suck at this, don't we?
Are we trying to you know, the problem we have is we've covered
too much, too wide a range of things to be experts in and all
we do is bring up these, you know, kind of a half baked look
at things. And then our listeners come in with with when
they do they do say hey, you idiots. This is what's going on.
They sent us a link to some really cool stuff. And then we
read it the two of us and then we and then we know we never
bring it home ever bring it out. The two of us are very
knowledgeable.
Let me see. I did have some notes. Hold on a second. I
thought I kept some notes from stuff people sent us. Oh, yeah.
Well, so that was the Monsanto thing. Yeah, the Monsanto thing.
I brought that up.
Yeah, the months that way. I know there's I got about 10
emails people saying What are you talking about? They're gonna
start suing people. They're already suing them. And they
have cases that go way back. You know, some body plants a bunch
of Monsanto, crazy. Wheat. And by the way, we blogged that
interesting one where it turns out that Did you see that that
piece I think around in England about how some of his wheat
that's got the built in pesticide in the wheat?
Yeah, well, that Yeah, exactly. So this so that you can throw
the pesticide the Monsanto developed pesticide onto it, and
it won't kill it.
Right. Well kill the No, that's the That's right.
Yeah, that's that's what it was.
Last night, there was one that they had them on, we got to get
it listed. Somebody's got it out there has to know all these
different Monsanto products. And I guess Dow Chemicals got stuff
too. That's,
but what's crazy about it is just, I mean, it's literally a
licencing fee. So you buy the seed from Monsanto. You sow your
field with it, your crops grow, you know, you Alright, you're
all done and then you harvest your crops you sell it off. And
then of course, you know, I either seeds are there or they
start growing again, or you re Reese received the land. But
then Monsanto says Hey, hold on a second, you're reusing our
seed. Now you have to pay you know your yearly fee your
royalty on using that seed again, which is just kind of
crazy when you think about it.
Yeah, I don't see anybody way anybody goes for that deal. But
they're also I thought suing people when they have a blow
over like some guy will plant a big field, multiple acres, and
then some of the seeds get into his neighbor's yard and the next
thing,
right, well, what I read some stories of people who had
helicopters come over their field, pulling out of course
black helicopters, drop fertiliser to see if it killed a
patch and if it didn't kill a patch, and they knew that it has
to go raid the place, because they were clearly using
Monsanto's CD legally.
Oh, I didn't get that memo. Yeah, that's a good one that
says, choppers like that's that's vandalism.
Yes, that's correct. John and downtown ran to
should be gunning down those choppers This is why we need to
be armed in the teeth in this country by the way
in this country too, by the way
I'm reminding people go oh you know you kid assault weapons are
bad and also stuff Hey, the DC
gun ban sorry, the DC gun ban has dropped you know that right?
Yeah, I know. So which would be you know, I mean, I don't think
people should be just shooting their gun every which way but
the I'm reminded when people talk about well, you know, you
have to gun has to be for hunting or you know, personally
I could be maybe just
shoot Monsanto helicopters, dude. Yeah, and that's
what I'm thinking should have a Gatling gun. But I don't see
anything wrong with having some of these high powered weapons.
If you look at the history of this country, Henry Clay in the
thing is everybody would they want to throw everyone in jail
nowadays, instead of just telling them to stop? There's
some kid got arrested for something recently. It's just
like, why don't you just tell him to stop?
Well, you know, the FEMA has 800 jails empty and ready to go,
right?
Yeah, well, that's what they say. It's I think that's bull.
Every time I've researched that's always been a crock. I
really anyway, but the point is Henry Clay Baca, you know,
before the Civil War, used to have a cannon in front of his
house that he filled up with bottles and, you know, chain
link, and whatever he could stick into thing. And because he
was an abolitionist in an area that knew of Kentucky, where
they it wasn't appreciated. And so they tried to arrest him
once. And so he held off the local sheriff by firing this
cannon at everybody. perfectly legal, they find it Yep. And
they finally said, well, let's you know, forget it, you know,
so they never followed up on their, you know, wanting to
arrest him for some trumped up charge. But in today's world,
now, you'd bring in the army and you'd burn down the place. Shoot
the guy's wife. I mean, who knows?
You're sounding more and more radical, my friend.
I sound like a nut ball. Yes, but
I'm enjoying it. I'm just sitting back on yeah, go, John.
I'm there. Take the red pill man down the rabbit hole. That's
right. Oh, your awakening has begun.
Well, I always like to bring up the Gary Weaver thing because it
comes up. They came up in the conversation at dinner last
night. And it's always like,
I hadn't heard of this guy, though. I mean, what was that in
the 70s? Mid 70s.
On I was like later than that is during the Clinton
administration, as I recall. And, you know, Clinton managed
to, you know, kill a bunch of people in Waco, or what's her
name, Janet Reno. And then they get this this Gary Weaver with
some tax evader. And instead of just you know, saying, Well, you
know, why don't we just grab him when he's in town some time they
decided to lay siege to his compound, which is a total waste
of taxpayers money. And then some sharpshooter gunned down
his wife.
There were they were there. Yeah.
And claims they was under orders to shooter but nobody takes
credit for giving the orders. They know who that guy is. Why
isn't he in jail?
Yeah. And what was why did they want him Why didn't want him
basically the government committed murder. This is
because she wasn't under indictment or anything. But she
wasn't trying to escape. What was the point of shooting her?
So they shoot this woman dead? The government, and then nothing
comes of it? And well, I don't know it was under orders. Oh,
well, you know, just the way it goes. And mistakes can be made.
And bla bla bla, that's, that's what the Germans used to say.
Just taking orders. We didn't know.
But the point is, murder was committed. No charges were
filed. Meanwhile, some kid you know, has no rights on a
sidewalk with chalk.
And he's an incentive. Charles is a felon. Yeah.
I mean, I don't mind that. You know, they don't they don't
follow through on some things. But why are they picking on
these kids? We had one because
they're our future John. I believe that children are a
future
there was some kid and it was on the blog the other day I got to
think about it.
That was one of the new human rights that was in the in the
Lisbon Treaty in which is basically the supposed to be the
new European Constitution. The government has the right to
arrest your kids, if they need to be disciplined. They can
incarcerate your kids
if the words that were
don't make me go get the documents, it's in there. Okay,
what's funny is you know, it's in what they call the it's the
it's the amendments of the of the document that you have the
amendments, then you have the protocols and these amendments
is where all the human rights so the human rights are listed in
the document but the amendments to the human rights are separate
documents and so even though they're not technically a part
of it, they are considered to be legal. And you know, I have
questioned different ministers about this and they'll say well,
yeah, you know, so basically, we'd go by those first and if
those don't apply to the member state and you know, a person
could take it all to eight all the way to the High Court in
Brussels I'm like what the fuck good is that but that's what
they keep coming back to you know, at any point you know, you
don't agree with the with the amendments are kind of the you
know, the basic guidelines, which we don't have to adhere
to, but if we do decide to adhere to them, then you can go
fight and in Brussels well, thanks. Yeah, that's a winner.
You said like fascist state takeover man. I think I think
yumyum you may be very right.
I think so. So here's the one I was talking about Minnesota teen
charged with felony for eBay joke. This is a kid a kid was
actually a college student. He says it was a put up his vote,
which is probably which is actually a kind of seems to be
freedom of speech issue. If he asked me, he put up his vote for
sale for the Fall presidential election. And Oh, interesting.
$10 in exchange for voting for the bidders preferred candidate
I'm guessing interesting.
No, I think I'm sure that's illegal. Yeah, it
is old. Legal, he'd ever got any bid bids. And but it's but
again, it's one of those situations yet so legally kids
that probably nobody knows what's legal and illegal
anymore, especially, you know, because of the education system
doesn't teach you. So they found some 1893 law that's essentially
a dead letter law but they decided to, you know, push it on
this kid is a felony, so he loses vote forever. And instead
of you know what you do in a normal society, he's just a kid.
That's a filmmaker, don't do that. Yeah, take it off the
thing and get out of here. But no, they're gonna do prosecute
the kid waste of taxpayers money go to a whole big Guild and I
did a little research and found out that the Secretary of State
in Minnesota has all kinds of kind of sketchy things he's been
doing. And it's just like, he's being investigated, and there's
a scandal. And you know, it's unbelievable.
A quick, a quick search brings up an article from October
14 2000, where the Chicago Board of election commissioners plan
to file a lawsuit against vote auction.com Which was kind of a
goof, I guess.
I must admit, I mean, I've always felt that Well, these
guys are worried sick about somebody selling their vote or
whatever, but they're all adults irrelevant. It's irrelevant.
It's well, it is irrelevant, but you know, there's also what if
they're not checking, you know, meanwhile, they didn't want to
check IDs because we shouldn't have to check on ID should be
able to just waltz in and say You're such somebody and I
personally get that either. And I don't know I think it's crazy.
Well, let's just get back backstep one one spot there with
and we've been talking about Obama for a while not and not in
a god yeah, it's amazing. Some people call us undercover
Republicans. But aren't we Yeah, no, not really. No, no, we're
undercover libertarian libertarians I think as much
libertarian crackpots Yeah, I'm
I'm a Ron Paul light. Yeah, Paul light I'm a Poli. Poli Elian a
liberal, Poli. And, anyway, Obama. So first of all, you
know, so here's what I've seen happen in the past month. Obama
says, I'm not going to take advantage of public funds, I'm
going to raise all my money
through the people. Yeah, because you can get a lot more.
Right. So then, next up, it's like, alright, it's gonna cost
about 500 million for his campaign, which you know, and he
says, Hey, this is, you know, the 92 million you can get from
public funds. That's just not enough to become president these
days. That's not what a campaign costs. So the number turns out,
you know, as reported about 500 million, and McCain will
probably also need 500 million. And so I'm sure that Obama then
turns around and starts talking to people say, How much should
we get on that website again? And, you know, then all of a
sudden, it's like, well, maybe I shouldn't back or maybe I should
just let this FISA bill kind of go through, you know, and do war
in Iraq. Well, you know, this summer, I'm gonna think about
maybe doing something in 16 months. I mean, the guy is
totally turning around.
He's, he's becoming a politician.
Yeah, but it's like, I hope people see this
Well, according to Robert Novak column that ran a week or two
ago. You know, Obama makes a big scene about I don't want you
know, special interest groups. I'm not going to take any money
from lobbyists. They've been soliciting lobbyists and they
get fed one guy refused to give him any money and they got a
second solicitation signed by Obama signed by Obama himself.
Well, who and I mean, they don't these guys don't have time to
sign any Well, you know, probably
Obama has been lobbying the, the trade unions. Now we've now
started lobbying Tesco over here. Lobbying Tesco to allow
trade unions to operate the you know, those new stores. We
talked about the fresh and plenty or the good and groovy,
whatever it was,
yeah, right. We had a hold. Yeah. The places that we
determined are probably going to crap out because they don't know
what they're doing in the USA.
Right. But Obama you know, he's been been making public public
bids because you know, obviously he wants to trade unions to back
up and I'm sure that you know this they also contribute a lot
of money
can I get to be able to Unionise a store like that they will
they'll lose whatever money they make.
It's too small. But that's that's what Obama has been doing
lobbying Tesco
window dressing. Why is he lobbying Tesco? Why isn't he
lobbying? Toyota? I don't know. I mean, I think those Toyota
factories in the US aren't aren't union as far as I know.
It doesn't matter no matter who becomes president the stock
market takes off which means of course oil has to drop right
that's what's gonna happen after the election. It was gonna drop
before this. i So don't think so. No way. I really don't see
that happening? Yeah,
it has to November election if that if the oil prices remained
as high as they are into November, then they then they
have the winter that they can keep them propped up even longer
would be a disaster.
I think that's where we're headed. Dude, I don't see why
oil would let up. I mean, the future is all the way
he's gonna go to $1,000 a barrel. Is that what you're
suggesting?
No, but I'm saying that I totally think we'll still hit
200 By the end of the year.
I think 200 number comes up too often, I don't think is ever
going to hit 200. And if it does, then it's going to
collapse the next day. I just don't see it. I'm just seeing
too many. I mean, I've listened to the Michael Greenberger. And
I hear all this other you know, these I mean, there are two
schools of thought about you know, whether it's how much
manipulation is taking place, but it just seems like the whole
thing is rigged and ready to fall. And the guy that has had a
shell came out the other day and said hey, this is different
prices, you know, they should be should be 80 bucks.
Yeah, but, but a lot of that is also tied to the value of the
dollar. I mean, with every with every micro micro Penny the
dollar devaluate devalues the oil automatically has to become
more expensive. That is fairly that's a part of it. Surely? The
even the Roman
army surely. Sorry, Roger over us. Now, maybe I don't know,
you're gonna have to. All I know is that they're supposedly
supposedly horrible manipulators in Dubai and London, that are
responsible for all this?
Oh, yeah. It's the World Bank, the guys who buy it out of the
ground and put it into the trading system? Well, they're
they're manipulators. That
must come down as all I know.
But, but just like the balloon guy, you can go up to those 740
sevens before you come down.
Well, you could. But that's hope not God, although, you know, I
have to say, so they don't really make it. I don't have a
long commute generally. And I think I'm close in my house is
close in where I would do real estate should actually go up.
Typically, when you really have a pinch, it benefits. P, it's
actually somewhat beneficial in some ways to some people.
And why would it benefit you?
Well, because I don't have to sit in traffic. Yes. Okay. Good.
One huge benefit. Yeah, no idea.
I agree.
And my house is located in a place that if people have to be
closer to San Francisco, they could. This is a good area. As
opposed to San Ramon, which is like, you know, another hour
from here. People commute people commute into San Francisco from
towns that are, you know, 6070 miles away. So unbelievable. I'm
17. I'm actually I'm about see five Susan, but I'm about 11
miles from downtown San Francisco.
Well, I certainly hope your version of the future is is more
correct than mine. But I'm really I'm just not seeing it.
No, it's obvious you're not seeing it. The only reason that
this shows interesting. But you can be right that gives a went
up to 220 or $2. Or sorry, $250 a barrel or something like that,
which, you know, if these guys were any good, they might be
able to do it. But they're already putting the kibosh on it
with some legislation looks like it's gonna pass.
Yeah, but that won't pass until was it December? Something like
that? But yeah, I don't know. You know, and I based some of
these thoughts on a piece of video that I saw by this guy
named Lee, I think Lindsey Williams, have you heard of him?
What's it about? Lindsey?
Lindsey Williams was a pastor on the one of those
0.0 Do tipping point oil, zero oil? What's it called peak oil?
Peak Oil?
No, No, quite the opposite. In fact, now quite the opposite.
Now he says he was there as a pastor for three years in Alaska
when when they struck the largest oil field in the world.
And, and he was there because he was a trustee of one of the I
forget the name of the oil company at the time, sure by now
it's been you know, whatever, it's become Exxon. Anyway, he
was there when all of the like eight oil Big Top Oil men were
celebrating and saying, Oh, this is great. America will have no
more independence on foreign oil. And in the next day, they
said no, you can't talk about it. We're putting the kibosh on
it can never come out. And the whole theory behind it as he
tells it, the guys like you know, 60 or 70 years old, and
he's now coming out with this. He says because he, he he was in
not only did he was explained to him, but he witnessed how the
whole deal was set up with the Saudis. When Kissinger went out
and made the deal with him. Look, you know, we'll Make You
Rich, we'll buy all your oil only if you trade it in dollars,
and then you have to buy our national and your piece of that
money you take to buy back our national debt. And that's how he
gets into this whole thing about Iran. And he says, you know,
Iran is threatened with this cheap oil. And even worse, the
whole point is it can't be traded in euros. And that's if
you look at the timeline, and I went back and looked at some of
the some Google News articles. The first time Iraq was invaded
under Bush, the first it was literally two months after
Saddam Hussein and said, Hey, we're gonna start selling our
oil in euros.
Well, I know I had that sounds, you know, he sound that sounds
right to me. I mean, I don't you know, I'd be interested in
watching that documentary.
And it's on curry.com. You know, the place where I never blog.
Though, it is one of the rare posts
when I posted I mean, uh, Johnny, baby.
You should get some some, some minions.
I don't know, I know, I liked the post that I've been using
the that dropped on it.
The reason I have all these guys, my guys, by the way, are
extremely talented. The guys who post on my blog. I mean, every
time in fact, the other day I read happens all the time, where
and in fact, I think it happens with all of us. And because we
all have a kind of a like mindedness about some of these
things we like to post about, you go in your posts, I mean,
you hit the button and you go into somebody else's just posted
the same thing five minutes earlier, it's really annoying.
If you look at that I dropped out i o slash daily source code
that's kind of become an instead of weblog format, by the way,
I'm view I might even change that over to curry.com. Because
it's so much more entertaining. And it all it is it's either
notes, its links or its files, and essentially, the public,
anyone who wants to go to drop.io/daily source code, and
you can put in either a note a list, yeah, I got to set
something like this. Maybe bubble would do it for me.
This is the beauty. I don't do anything. It's just people who
listen to the daily source code or posting stuff about the
topics that I'm talking about. And also new stuff right in
there and everything he
told me about this weeks and weeks ago, and I like remiss,
no, I look dude,
I'm just saying I got my minions, right. Except they're
not minions, they're savant. I get it. I get it. Some farms.
They're highly expert and skilled.
Well, I don't know about that. Here's the ghost spells potato
with an E. Oil prices would come back down is just the one you're
talking about.
Which one are you looking at?
Are you looking@curry.com? Now I'm looking at daily source
code. No, no,
no for the video. Yeah, no, go to curry.com and look for the
video that says the the non oil crisis or something like that.
It's about an hour intended to
describe it as having worked at an oil refinery and then been an
air pollution inspector at another oil refinery. I'm fairly
familiar with the stuff that goes on having been in one to
many meetings. And this peak oil thing is bull.
Well, that's exactly that's what this this Lindsey Williams even
says that's misinformation that the oil companies have put out
there and to throw you off track is absolutely not true. At the
peak oil is not true.
So as to where the new collapse capitalist pyramid it was found
power that the energy non crisis posted on last Sunday, June 29.
It's fantastic. You'll like it.
Oh, there it is on that guy. And he looks you know, like
appreciate looks
respectable, doesn't he? I mean, you want to believe the guy
right off the bat.
All right, I'll tell you what, why don't I go watch the 911
debunking show. And you go watch Lindsey Williams, which I
encourage everyone to do. By the way, if you want. If you want to
