This is just asking for trouble. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak
and Sunday May 13 2012. Time for your gizmo nation media
assassination episode 408. This is no agenda. Happy Mother's Day
from Camp MoPhO here in the capital of the drone Star State
Austin Tejas in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry,
and Northern Silicon Valley for a cloudy kind of gloomy Mother's
Day. I'm John C. Dvorak. Dragwon. Buzzkill.
For those of you who don't know if we missed an important
ritual,
important superstition. Yeah, that's
what a ritual is is a superstition. It's very
important stuff. Red alert, Red Alert, Red Alert, John. No, yes,
Red Alert. We've got a red alert. One of our own is being
hunted down. And we have to help him. One of our very own sis
admins, techno experts, one of our fellow nerds and geeks.
They're hunting him, they're gonna kill him. If you see him,
you got to save him and protect him has been missing for more
than 24 hours and there are concerns about his mental state.
Eyewitness News reporter Amy Powell is live in Burbank with
the latest on the search. Have you heard about this? No. This
is the FBI agent who worked in national security. He's been
missing for Wow. 24 hours. And they fear he's going to kill
himself. He's on the run.
Oh, so. So they're gonna kill him? Yes, of course, they're
gonna kill him that he knows something. He's obviously a
techno expert.
And so this is sending the word out. Oh,
I mean, but listen, this is press conferences, everything.
It's like, you know, if your child goes missing
you it's probably code in here that says, Look, if you see this
guy shoot him. Well, let's listen.
Amy. John, colleagues say this is a well liked FBI agent. Right
now. There's no indication that he's a victim of foul play. But
they say he was very upset.
Interesting. How come he's not dead and they're already talking
about being here. There's no he's a victim of foul play. They
don't even know if he's dead. There's no evidence he's dead.
Yet already. The talking about no evidence of foul play
for he disappeared. That's why several law enforcement agencies
are working desperately to find him. Steven Ivan's was last seen
by family members on Thursday evening. Authorities believe the
35 year old FBI agent walked away from his home on the 1700
block of Scott road early Friday morning. Investigators say
Ivan's was distraught and possibly thinking about killing
himself. His handgun was not found in his home,
we can get into the details of why we think he's suicidal. But
other than that, he found something out. We don't want you
to know so we got to go kill him. But we have been in
discussion with his family. And based on just the overall
circumstances, we believe there's that potential.
bloodhound trace does set indicating Ivan's an avid runner
and hiker may have gone to the Verdugo mountains. Today, dozens
of investigators from the Burbank Police Department, the
FBI and the LA County Sheriff's Department searched a Wilderness
Park in the Burbank area.
We don't know how far he could have gone in. You could have
slipped and fallen. There's many, many
potential. He's an avid hiker, but he could have slipped and
fallen. Yeah,
I've been it's been an FBI agents for three years working
in national security. Authorities don't believe the
married father of a one year old boy was involved in any criminal
activity.
He's a very good agent, and has done a great job in the Los
Angeles area. And that's why we're taking this very
seriously. We want to make sure that we are able to find him.
I show a picture of the guy where he looks all deranged.
Oh really? Yeah, you should google that picture. name again.
Steven. Ivan's, I think is his name. Let me just check. Yeah,
this is bad. This is
very, very bad to disguise their targeting and for some. Oh,
yeah.
This is No, I mean, no doubt in my mind. If your kid goes
missing for 24 hours, they don't even care.
No done 48 or something?
Steven Ivan's with pH. Steven. I have as you see the picture.
No, I've got a I put a V.
Ste pH. So we've got to protect this guy. Because clearly he
knows something. He found out something. He's a very, very
good WUNC Well, that's what of course they always take us a
picture when you got any crazy pictures of them. Yeah. Hold on.
Should I get something from the from the shop? Like an FBI
agent?
Brother, he saw what that person the Ulsterman report talked
about.
Yeah, right. Now, well, three years it could be could be it's
very possible. Speaking of which, the there's a there's a
new insider that didn't actually want to get to this yet. But
there's apparently a DHS inside and now this is not an Ultraman
report was Is that? You know, it is. And this DHS insider, I'll
give you the give you the paragraph here. Let me see. The
title of the article is the planned re election of Obama
revolutionary style is nothing that we haven't already
discussed. But the insider says Obama's using some high profile
people as pawns to format the revolution. I heard several
times very credible sources that Farrakhan is on the CIA payroll,
others have been named as well, not prepared to identify yet
Farrakhan has to coordinate the blacks and the Muslims to
prepare for riots this summer using any means necessary. And
the way they're going to do it is an attack on the president
which may or may not succeed, but we've kind of already seen
this ramp up we've seen you know, we saw the test with that
idiot who like now left his gun with the fingerprints in the
car, you know, the crazy stuff. He's AK Yeah. So you know, we've
seen all this kind of being ramped up and prepared so
wouldn't it wouldn't be a surprise
Yeah, well, you know, they keep there's all these weird little
things that keep happening like the I have a clip of the blogger
fire Do you familiar with this story? The witch Journal of
higher education they hired a woman from the West Wall Street
Journal to kind of balanced her coverage. No, no,
no. Tell me about this.
Well play the blogger fire to explain to kind of
a familiar face to many of our viewers. Former wall street
journal editor Naomi Schaefer. Riley was fired this week from
her job blogging for the Chronicle of Higher Education
hired to provide a conservative point of view on current issues
and academe. Riley posted an item last week critical of some
black studies programs at US colleges. She was fired Monday
after more than 6500 people, many of them professors sign an
online petition seeking her dismissal. Naomi Schaefer rally
joins me now welcome back to the program. So we're you must have
known that this was going to be controversial when you wrote the
blog post. Were you surprised by the reaction? Well, a
lot of the blog posts that I've written for the Chronicle have
certainly earned me vitriolic reactions from commenters and
things like that I was a little bit surprised that people took
the time to have 6500 people took the time to sign an online
petition against me. And I was actually surprised by the
dismissal ultimately that the Chronicle caved to this
pressure.
Well, the one of the criticisms is that you didn't read some of
the black dissertation Black Studies dissertations that you
criticize you pretty obviously you you wrote what you did based
on their titles and descriptions of them. But is that a fair
criticism? Well, I you sent me this article. So explain exactly
what this is. It's in the show notes, by the way under surveys
show notes because I had this cuz I started looking into this
thing. What the hell is this all about? Because what, why she's a
blogger. Yeah. Fired blogger. Yeah. And I'm thinking what some
bloggers and
bloggers have no job. Isn't that kind of the whole deal?
Yeah. And so anyway, so I'm looking into and I'm reading all
the articles in every single article, especially the ones
from the left are criticizing her for being, you know,
callous, and then and a racist and all the rest of it, nobody
would link to the article. Yeah. I mean, this is always something
of a problem. But this was out of control. unlinking. So I
finally went to the Chronicle itself. And I got lucky, because
I guess I kept it up for even though they have a little
disclaimer in front of it, I found the article, which is
linked in the show notes, and it's lame, there's nothing that
would warrant getting fired. She just said that the black studies
programs do a lot of stupid theses. And she named a few with
dumb titles. And she says it's crazy. You know, there's just a
blip was a little blog post. And then so you get a petition.
Well, this is the this is the educational industrial complex
at work. Right.
Yeah. And this is also part of your thesis about everything is
there's stemming down to two things. There's actually two
things, and I'll credit you would pretty much identifying
him earlier, probably than I did, which is race wars. You
know, let's get a little race action going here. And then and
the freedom of speech issue. Yeah. I mean, this was very,
this is a freedom of speech type, editorial, and she wrote
her little crazy little blog post.
Well, this, there's something else that I noticed in the in
the past few days. And it actually has been taking place
over the past several weeks. It's now a status symbol for you
to do the commencement speech at an important university. Because
then you get to wear the robe and you get a sash and you wear,
you know, like crazy crown or whatever. And everyone does it.
leucaena Paula Tonto did one of course, we saw Mitt Romney, the
President, the First Lady, everyone's doing a commencement
speech. And this is it's like, no, you have to go and suck off
the most important university and these guys must be
incredibly powerful.
Well, I you know, the Romney thing makes a little sense
because Romney is still distrusted by the conservatives.
And he saw he goes gives a commencement speech at of all
places Liberty University which is which is I don't even know if
this good credited I'm not even sure that you could take a
transfer credit from Liberty University to Harvard. I don't
think I don't know.
It could probably transfer to LA Community College. Well, that's
doubtful but anyway the so the but it's a bunch of it's a right
wing school it's just put it simply a right wing religious
evangelical school, be more specific. So he gave this board
and you know, the thing is, is students would much rather have
somebody more interesting me the speech was boring. Yeah, well,
they're all boring. Yeah, all these people were very boring,
too. There was a someone posted a pitch letter from Singularity
University. Oh, I've linked it in the show notes. For zero a.na
Show. notes.com. So I have the scan of an array. It's from Ray
Kurzweil. And by the way, they're on their letterhead, it
says singularity you@aol.com. How forward looking are those
guys? That's not they
don't even have their own domain name. Apparently
not. I don't know. Yeah, no, they have singularity.org. But
at singularity@aol.com they could have done a foreword, you
know, how hard is that? So it's dear carbon mass. So there's the
cute about it. Yeah. Dopamine and water mass. Yeah, make it
dopamine from my ventral tegmental area is flooding my
mesolimbic pathway, which is crudely, if commonly called
delight, at the fact that I can offer you acceptance to
Singularity University, which is in no way affiliated with
Scientology. You are one of only 40 students, whom we wish to
extend the invitation to give us $25,000 This is a great pitch
letter. And then it just goes on and on and on and on. Your
tuition covers room and board, hyperbaric dorm pod alkalized
water, the red pill, and world class speculative instruction in
business know they had another one of these. Another one of
these gatherings, I think was about a reporter from The
Guardian, I think went asked him Ashton Kutcher is there. You
know, it's it's bullcrap. These people are a holes to most of
them.
Well, you know, this came about from Kurzweil, his concept of
the singularity. But Kurzweil for a long time I've always felt
was,
I find him freaky. I find I'm stable.
I mean, I, I had him on the table on the silicon has been
showing me it seemed unstable.
Worship Him, though, into Silicon Valley people worship
him his because he said, men and machines will meld which
because of a science is basically as a science fiction
mentality about the way the future is gonna go. And they
want to do it and the machines will take over and will be their
slaves kind of thing. Yeah. And Ben, this funny thing is there's
a lot of people that believe that I mean, Bill Gates has
never said it I know publicly. But I know that he said it. He's
always thought that software would end up ruling the world
and we'd be its slave. Literally. And that is not like,
you know, figuratively. This is actually what he thinks. Yeah.
And so, Kurzweil is in this camp. And it's kind of creepy,
and he has zero sense of humor at all. I mean, I don't really
even smile anymore. And yet, I really think he's, he's not
staying stable. Well, in the morning to me, well, there's all
these, you know, these eight holes at that Singularity
University, which is not accredited for anything that I
know of. No. And I don't even know what the point of it is.
What can you get your degree in? It's a conference.
It's just a swanky way to sell a conference, because you go
there. There's a whole bunch of cool people, you know, and
arguably, there's cool people that you'd want to know that
you'd want to meet. And, you know, it's, it's a conference,
it's just a conference only it's sold in a different way, and
it's very expensive. Which is the way to do it.
Yeah, well, it's definitely the way to go.
In the morning, John C. Dvorak. In the morning
to you, Adam curry in the morning to all ships at sea subs
in the water, boots on the ground and feet in the air
and FBI agents on the run. We're here to protect you. And all of
our human resources in the chat room, no agenda stream.com no
agenda chat. dotnet. Thank you so much for tuning in. We bring
this program to you twice a week. It is a podcast you can
get at no agenda show.com. But of course, you can always Listen
Live and join in the chat, keep us honest, keeping them honest.
And we hold on to the value for value model I'd like to before
we explain that. I'd like to give you a brief example of how
news works. And this is this is a great example from MSNBC,
which was aired just this week. The host is Tamron. Hall. And,
John, you might just want to explain because you've done this
a lot thing you you see the host, and they bring up a topic.
And they bring in two boxes. Sometimes it's multibox. Yeah,
you can have like four or 5468. Yeah, at the box. Yeah. You're
gonna have a whole bunch of pundits talking. It's a
technical marvel. And they're all set up. And they're all
prepped with what they're supposed to say, correct?
Well, yeah, it's but it's not like they it's not as like a
talk show. And like the Letterman Show or anything where
they actually go over it. They what they do is they fight they
asked you about what your opinion is on the topic. And
then they might suggest that Well, maybe if you had a
different opinion, you could be on the show. Seriously, how's
that worked out for you, John?
But sometimes you can't have the opinion. I mean, I have a lot of
you when I was so obviously I can't I cannot use that I cannot
state state that opinion, because I can't You can't i
can't back off. I just I don't believe it.
But there's so they're basically asking you to project a certain
opinion if you can, they want
to balance the coverage. So you can you say something bad about
this? Or can you say something good about this? Or what do you
think? And if you have like some real interesting idea, which I
tend to get on from for this purpose. So yeah, he the way I
see it is this and it's some screwy, screwy thing they never
thought of than your gold. So it's cool. It takes away all the
pressure off the writers. Right.
Well, so. So this is about the obvious hit job where Obama
comes out says, gay marriage. I'm all for it. And then, a day
later, coincidentally, we find out that Mitt Romney beat up
some gay kid in high school. Got his hair off? Yeah, I know that.
That wasn't the setup. That's great. And so this guy is
supposed to talk about the coverage of it. And he goes off
script from the from from the minute it happens. But what's
interesting is the hosts response which shows you the
hubris and the bullcrap that these Well, of course, and it's
MSNBC, so duh, but it's nice to hear, because this happens on
every single channel.
Yeah. But Tim in the point is he's doing local television,
that's a local reporter asking about something that is
important to the people of that particular state. And his
response, you know, people are raising an eyebrow about okay,
well, I'll talk about the marijuana in one second. But
what you're doing here is a typical media trick. You hype up
a story, and then you justify the second day coverage of the
story by saying, Oh, well, people are talking about it.
Here's how Romney responded to this
guy like, whoa, whoa, don't tell everyone how it works. You
idiots. I can just produce the inner ear guy off. Yeah,
no, let's move on to a question. I asked you. You didn't have to
accept the invitation to come on. You knew what we were going
to be discussing. Yeah,
what is this? What do you mean? I just told you? No, but you got
to tell me again, because I got cut out. I didn't expect him to
go this walk off the track this way.
Okay. So he's, he's so there's always two guys. And now I don't
know, I don't know who this guy is. It's irrelevant. And, and
his, he is supposed to say this is on MSNBC. Yes. And he's
supposed to comment by saying, Well, you know, the fact that
Romney is doing little local television means is really
hurting the campaign. You know, he's trying to do damage control
that he's a gay basher. That's
the thing instead, instead, he's doing our job.
So you know, we gotta get the I want this guy off the air. You
know, we can't have like spilling the beans and ruining
our gig. And so and she says, you know, you knew it. You were
invited. You just went you went and it just goes
on and on. This is the amateur hour part of it, because she is
obviously a bot. But it doesn't have a clue. But it's
good. It's even worse. It's even worse. She's not just the bot.
She's insulted. John, Hey, listen.
question I asked you. You didn't. You didn't have to
accept the invitation to come on. You knew what we were going
to be discussing. Because you're kind of in my house here. The
problem is this. You're in my house out there. And you're
right. I'm not saying that we should belabor What happened 50
years ago, we're talking about the response by the campaign and
by the governor. Now. You're, you're you're bringing up a meta
story here, which is what is the Romney response to this other
non story? I'm trying to go meta meta on you. Here's some
treatments. Anything on you because you're actually
you want me to go anything? Whoop your asthma.
I'm gonna be honest with you. You knew them. You agreed, and
we're not talking or demeaning. Listen, 50 years ago, I was a
much tougher kid probably than Mitt Romney was in high school.
And this is where
she's struggling. She doesn't know what to do. So now she's
making stuff but the funny
thing is, this is very recoverable, if she was any
good, you can get out and make yourself look good. If that
person goes off the rail like that. You push them further.
then you can you can it. This is not a hard interview to get back
on track. She's all she's doing is making it worse. It's because
this is Clip of the Day.
She's well, I'll play that in a second. So she's, she's so
frustrated and doesn't know what to do. And she's got the
producer yelling in your earpiece, and I have the
obviously Oh, yeah. And that's why we just talked about, like,
50 years ago, I don't even know how old she is. But like 50
years ago, you know, you don't want me to go anything on you.
I'm
talking about the issue of whether he was bullying or not.
He says he doesn't remember to be fair, I cannot say he does.
What I'm asking you about is how the campaign has handled this
decision handle this situation, how we handle the Colorado
reporter how he handled same sex marriage where he said he agrees
with gay parents being here.
She's just rolling down the list of what he was supposed to say,
you know, it was like, here's what this guy
is gonna ask any of these questions because he went off
the rail right away. Yeah, no, but
this is on the on the lips. This is.
This is great to adopt. But he does not agree with same sex
marriage. Just the handling of questions beyond comfortable
talking about that. I am okay with you're not going to come on
and insult me. You're not going to come on and insult the
network when you insult me in so the network? You Hi, woman we're
going to talk about dun dun we talked to Jim. Yes, I am Jim.
And I say this with because we're joining me I do the same
for Tim. But we have to be able to have conversations and not do
quote unquote hit jobs on each other when we know we're guests
on the show thank you.
Don't hit new hidden job on it. Don't do hit jobs on each other
when we're doing the show. Man, this is the show. Just play
along with the program was
a great Clip Tip of the Day hit it the day when we blocked a
clip of the day right at the beginning of the show. So
I'm sorry, because I wanted to tie it to the poor donations we
receive for our value value model. That's what I was trying
to do as you
you failed to hit the Cinco de Maya Maya one time. Yeah, yeah,
that
has everything to do with it
is all that's all it is. So I have said we're talking about
the Romney thing. So some black guy was on again, MSNBC
replacing Ed Schultz. And he has his cran books. Craig is
Cranbrook school. And I guess this black kid oh he Blaze like
man, but I guess he was a kid during the era at one point
Romney was there and he was and he went to the school which
seems like wow, that's a pretty ritzy school for you know, I
guess he was not a poor black kid, that's for sure. It's a
boarding school and play the clip and tell me if you could
figure out what he's talking about. I attended Cranbrook
school in the mid 70s for about a year and a half. I witnessed
all kinds of behavior from the simply inappropriate to the
outright intolerant. For instance, there was a recording
that was released on cassette that said we're going cigar
fishing today. No, we're not we're going inward fishing.
What's the bait? How many grips so I'm quite acquainted with the
fact that even the elite at the top level have bigotry
percolating inside.
Okay, I'm gonna need some help on this one. I'm going to say
well, let me Don't don't if you know don't tell me Let me listen
Let me listen to cigar fishing. Oh, my second one is this kinds
of behavior from the
simply inappropriate to the outright intolerant. For
instance, there was a recording that was released on cassette
that said we're going cigar fishing today. No, we're not.
We're going inward fishing.
What's the bait? How many grips so I'm quite a how many grits?
Yeah, how many grits?
How many grits is the bait? Yeah. Wow, you know what a rough
school no idea what that means. Cigar fishing. I mean, it's such
a
big it's they're going to cigar fishing. And how many grits but
he says but this is no we're going inward fishing. I mean,
obviously there's there's there's some sort of way of
producing the N word. And the reference would be hominy grits
because black people apparently even though it's not just black
people, but everyone in the south eats hominy grits which is
grits Yeah, which is breakfast starch which is quite good by
the way I make grits every so often
oh yeah I feel another no agenda recipe coming on
when he just buy him and cook them it's not just these recipes
are just going to be a recipe is going to be a recipe not
something people should know how to do you see
we have a nice header for the recipes page now.
You cigar fishing? What do you think? Cigar story like oh,
okay, yeah, all right. What's your bigoted bastards the way he
has? I don't know. It's just like,
well, you know, no one. It's all code talk about the skull and
bones and all kinds of weird crap the good that's what
college is all about is being initiated into weird crap. I'm
glad I dropped out
before any of that happened. Yeah, you could have been a
cigar fish
or are eating my harmony grits on the inside fishing? Oh, what
does that mean? Anyway, let's thank do we have executive
producers? It was a low Show Low show.
Yeah, well we have one executive producer and two associates so
he was drunk. It doesn't really count Keith brown gave us
foreign 50 bucks for spring Texas. He's probably not
listening to the show because he sent his very long note in which
I cut down substantially because he thinks he's gonna sound like
an idiot. He kind of does. Yeah.
That's that we kind of liked that. I mean, the whole note was
good.
But yeah, it was, but it was longer than one of my columns.
So
twice as long actually recently,
so I can try to read it the way he wrote it. Faizi seven is
drunk donation at qualification for data with status.
Accounting, JC DS recommend the recommended advice. I had hoped
to be drunk on the frog 30 But when I Googled it, I found it it
was at least $700 A bottle about no cheap as $50 MacAllan instead
it I'll have to do even though I've donated before I was still
a douche at times to Adam, for all his crackpot stuff so I
guess de douche me for that. To his credit, he answered all my
emails. I've since come to value you both for the extremely
prophetic media deconstruction how you guys see through some of
this BS is amazing. I've also been somewhat of a douche and
not contributing regularly. I've been a canard a long time ago
doing it in small chunks, but I wanted to do it in one big
splash to be an executive producer, but I never seem to
have the cash to spare for that douche bag. will now also be a
regular subscriber to the 3333 mothership plan who knows? Very
handy I cannot listen to the Sunday show because if you read
any of this on the air, I'm not gonna want to hear stupid shit.
I said the way you're saying this is priceless John Dee's
brown spring Texas 450.
A man Thanks. Thanks for the drunken night. It'll be a night
today it's great.
And Dame Janice King came in with an associate producer ship
from Milpitas, California to 5007 I hope the check clears in
time for the birthday shout on May 17. It'll be a milestone
birthday for me in a duel slide whistle serenade would make my
day we've that's usually not
where I'm at. First of all, we got to de douche. Keith de
deuced but then we have a show on the 17th Isn't this
way we have to give her another call out then. Yeah,
okay, so the buzzkill Junior, make sure you get her on the
list.
Are you still listening you
stupid millennial?
He gets up early.
All I want is the 500 bucks a month I don't care just let me
describe
it nice to know agenda keeps me ever vigilant of ulterior
motives ulterior, she has spotted yet another scheme to
harvest personal information from the general public slaves.
I'll send more info later. Thanks for all your hard work.
Finally, she says she's living the American dream just getting
by nice hyperaware technologies Los Gatos, California $200.07
and Dame Kang was 5007 So we have a couple of prototypes pro
slide license now, as promised here the double donations Chuck
waters donated $25 that hyperaware.com And Sam Shepard
donated 50 Here's their 150 plus 50 More for me and seven cents
for the slide with some voting. My offer still stands that any
donations to my son's walkathon will be doubled to no agenda.
See hyper aware.com/no agenda.
Great initiative. I'm liking that.
David Foley. Yeah, no, that's very good. I liked that, too.
That was it. Yeah, that was all we got. People didn't like the
last show, I guess. And when the one guy was drunk,
he doesn't even know if you heard the last show. Wow, wow,
that. I don't know how I feel about that. Because it's funny,
because last night I was thinking maybe you and I should
write a book. Here's the the title of the book is value for
value. And so of course, we have to give the book away for free.
Right, and then people can donate. And then we can get on
the speaking circuit. Except we just go and then they pay us
whatever you think it was worth.
That's an interesting concept. Well, but our model is right.
Yeah, I understand what you're saying. The problem is, is that
the value of value model is is alien to the way people have
been raised, which is to be the kind of passive and shown a lot
of commercials and advertisements and information
collected from them. Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna get money at the store
by buying some. I'm gonna disagree because something is
changing. And if you look at cars last night, actually, we'll
talk about this. I watched the documentary called, called debt
talk cracy D BT debt talk cracy. And it's about Greece and
parallels to Argentina and Ecuador. And this was a
documentary, that was crowdfunded, you know, on
something like a Kickstarter. And I'm pretty convinced that if
you look at Kickstarter, and you look at, you know, how that
works, which I think is it's a brilliant idea. And all of
these, you know, similar concepts, essentially, it's
like, you know, you go on there, you see a cool gadget, you know,
like, you know, that's a cool gadget, you know, I would buy
that for 200 bucks, we know what a bike for 250 as well. So I'm
gonna hear that, that's what I think it's the value of that
gadget is, so I'm going to throw 50 bucks their way so they can
get it made. So I can buy it for 200, that is an extension of the
value for value concept. People don't want shares, they just
want to have the thing or whatever it is that's being
offered. And they're valuing that by how much they want it.
And then you know, that just tack on a little bit and say,
okay, you know, I'll throw that in. And I don't even want your
crappy t shirt. Now, just make the thing. And I think that's
when it comes to media, because, you know, there's all these
future of news conversations. And let's face it, news is dead,
and not as dead as in physically dead because news, you know,
it's not a thing that can die. But it's over. And you know, the
whole model doesn't work. People don't care. It's all about
selling movies. And so what we do is we're actually doing not
news, but we're doing journal, we're practicing some
journalism. And we're providing analysis, which is valuable to
people, and they get something out of it. And then they
whatever they think it is, they toss it our way. So there is
something changing, and I think that we could at least get on
the speaking circuit, and make some dough.
Yeah, well, look, if
you're not going to help me, I'm going to do it myself.
I don't know I'm in. I just think, you know how to write a
book. And I just disagree with the fact that the fact that you
believe why I can't disagree with the fact you believe, but I
disagree with the idea that people have not just in general
is yeah, we have a number of we have a lot of listeners that,
that listen to us deconstruct things and tear stories apart
and find the story behind the story, essentially, what we do,
and or maybe find a reason for the story, the rationale for its
existence as part of a scheme, which is the movie thing, for
example. But I still think the majority of the public, in fact
that I that was one of my friends, he says he can't listen
to this show.
And he's no he's unfriend him then
he's like, and and another friend, which is in the same
group says to me, Well, you know, he has such a rigid view
of the world, that this disturbs him to listen to our show,
because we questioned my authority, essentially, we we
take it upsets some people, there are people that cannot
listen to our show, because it disturbs understand, but we're
not other people like the show because it confirms what they've
always believed that in other words, they haven't been
completely taken over by the pot. I
understand. I understand. So you're saying that it's not well
known. It's not because people feel value, it comes down to the
same thing. You're just saying it's a small audience, but I you
know, we can get on. If you have a book that I can get on MSNBC
and bitch at this woman.
You've been banned from television, we've been banned
for MSNBC, that's for sure. Yeah, for After saying that,
like you're telling the teaching, Michael Jackson was
killed?
How crazy was it to even consider that man,
cut you off. And that was the end to you.
Let me give you a little
for.org/n A I want to remind people go to vork.org/n a
channel of work.com/n a no agenda nation.com. And no agenda
show.com where you can give us some donations. Get us get our
numbers up a little bit from the next Thursday show. What we're
talking about, hold
on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Don't move right along like
that. We have a format to follow here.
Oh, yes. Well, you'd have some we have some PR initiatives,
we do the no agenda, news app, and a news app.com was approved
by Apple for an extended period that will last and you know why
it took so long. They and I have to give Apple some credit for
this. They thought that this app was stealing our content. And so
they question this and the producer who was putting all
this together he sent them all the links to our where we
explain our open source format of the program. Like Take
anything you want, do whatever you want. If you see some value
feel feel free to give us some cash. Because it is a for pay
app, I think it's 292 99 or something or 295 and he sent
them that and I was ready to testify I sent him a note or
whatever you know. I swear to tell the truth the whole truth
and nothing but to Gianna and so they they question that I think
that's pretty good. And oh, that
was good. Yeah, they were trying to protect content is somebody
and creating our content is open source. We want to remind people
if you want to put our podcast on your blog, please do it
or on your radio station, your P one market radio station.
Anything. That wouldn't be a good, go go ahead and put that
on z 100. New York. That'd be fantastic.
We'll find some way to get on the satellite.
So yeah, because everyone listens to the satellite. Sure
get we pick up I tell you, I swear to God, we pick up because
I listened to it when I you know, once in a while, I think
that we'd pick up at least maybe 510 more listeners problem is
the problem is because I know Steve leaves over at Sirius
Satellite. And, you know, he's he basically hires, you know,
he's content acquisition talent and whatever. The problem is,
they charge people for putting your content on Sirius now.
They're so hard up. They you have to pay to get a channel.
It's not no,
yes. No good. Don't have a big enough audience to pull that
off.
Well, exactly. That's why no one wants to do.
The numbers of people that do listen, and there's by me, you
know, it's in the, you know, I guess 10s of 1000s. It's all
diluted by the fact they have like 500 channels in exactly.
You can float around for days before you'd find our show.
Yeah, we'd be on channel 497. Good luck. Yeah, that'll really
help donations, John. You know,
well, like I said, five to 10 people we might pick up
Yeah. Anyway, if you even if you don't like our value for value
concept, and don't feel it's worth any of your money. If you
don't want the book, you can always do one simple thing. Just
go out and propagate our formula. willya our formula is
this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth
and remember, slang. Today, by the way, John is not a fake
holiday. Mother's Day is not a fake holiday. It is an official
holiday.
It's a fake holiday created by Hallmark, the Congress
by a joint resolution approved may 8 1914. designating the
second Sunday in May each year as Mother's Day and requested
the president to call for its appropriate observance. And this
is as per the President's proclamation today. Once again
proclaimed because he gets to do all kinds of cool stuff
proclaiming this Mother's Day. So there was a joint resolution
may 8 1914. So it's not entirely fake.
Well, I'm not saying that it's
now yes, a mouthful of teeth. You have nothing to say do you?
Know it's it's depends on what your definition of fake is?
Well, it's obviously there's no you know what
the modern holiday of Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908
When Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother in America. She
then began a campaign to make Mother's Day a recognized
holiday in the United States. Although she was successful in
1914. She was already disappointed with his
commercialization by the 1920s.
Well, yeah. Anyway, I'm just celebrated all over the world. I
miss my mom. You miss your mom.
Yeah, everybody misses their mom. Yeah. Jarvis never
mentioned mentioned mothering Sunday.
Hey, by the way, while we're talking about this, so CNN,
which is a Time Warner company, was shamelessly without even
mentioning that they're owned by the same parent company
shamelessly while promoting the Time magazine cover. Now, have
you looked at this thing?
So hilarious?
So you're what I do
if I saw that cut, right by that thing, that's a frameable. That
is art. My friend art?
Well, it literally is our job because when I saw this, I
immediately recognize the symbolism. And I think that
there's code in this Oh, so the symbolism is ISIS, Mother ISIS,
feeding her son Horus. Now, if you go look at this, this is
very famous statue. Are you familiar with this? Yep. And the
reason so the reason I will admit I didn't think of this
though. So first of all, it's the left breast left breast
exposed, it's always the left breast what that always
signifies ISIS and that's on a lot of symbolism throughout
history even isn't that even the stuff they covered up and like
Congress or something because you know, the the got the
woman's boob left boob hanging out like oh, we can't have that
on television during the State of the Union. We got to cover
that up. You know, it's crazy. So I think the store and who
gives a crap about Attachment Parenting if whatever. But this
kid what is he wearing? He's wearing camouflage pants, so
that would symbolize him as though because Horus was the god
of war and I believe this is and there's some other things here
like if you're looking at the cover by any chance
No I'm looking for Horus pictures. Okay I'll go look at
the cover you should look
at the cover because then you see right above his head is the
word God because there's another story apparently inside god of
cricket and crickets also if you think of cricket not as in
cricket the big picture but if you think of cricket the
okay French rejection god of cricket Okay, the kid is wearing
camouflage pants for some which would be the God of War thing
which I think you nailed this is good go on.
So we've got I think that this is a symbolic message that war
is coming like a real one. And and of course you know, this is
this all has to do with the cricket is you know, I don't
know I'm thinking maybe Jiminy Cricket you know, Pinocchio,
like the wooden boy comes to life this there's something
there but just the word God is positioned so beautifully above
his head. Yeah, exactly.
And and then the E the gods sitting on top of that, that
once part of the letter E and it goes right to it right
into his noggin. So to me this symbol This is a symbolic thing.
And it's also you might might have heard the word French
rejection up there is another one of the slammed against the
French it seems
so ISIS was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife, and the
patron of nature and magic. She was the friend of slaves,
sinners, artisans, that downtrodden and she listened to
the prayers of the wealthy. She is also known as the protector
of the dead and Goddess of children, a Horus was the god of
war and hunting. He became a symbol of majesty and power as
well as the model of the pharaohs. The pharaohs were said
to be Horus in human form. And the fact that he's got his camo
is on I think, somehow and I don't actually know and I don't
know how symbolism works, but I know symbolism is important. And
at a subconscious level, you know, this stuff means something
to us. I think we probably inherently are programmed
somehow to recognize this to me this was so far out of left
field and so unimportant Yeah, to sell magazine. Sure. But this
is a and we know time is corrupt. You know Time Warner
you know where they're all seeing eye logo. We know that
they're a bunch of creeps, too. I think it means big war Coming.
Coming. Well.
Well, that doesn't. It's to me it means the I would say that's
an interesting perspective. I would be more inclined to say
it's the military sucking off the tip of the American public
it passively the arms or legs slash site down he's not like
holding or anything he just like they're here. And it's like
she's almost forced feeding him. And we do have a military that's
oversized and over budget. So I think is more along those lines.
Personally, I don't think anyone's predicting war they'd I
don't think it's just not it just makes it's too out there.
Okay, but we always have wars.
I mean, we have a war now. But yeah, but that could be a really
good one coming.
There's a good one. There's a cycle war cycle, and there is a
good one coming in 2020. Okay, well, for sure. That's way out.
Is that in the Red Book? Have you put that down with there's a
good one coming and 2020? Yeah, I could
put that down.
Is a good one coming.
But it's not a relative. So I said we're talking about code. I
did run into an interesting member the show Rubicon. Yeah,
sure. I got cancelled it Well, yeah. It was somebody had a
whole season. And it was all about codes. Uh huh. And it was,
and one of the things that started the storyline, people
should go rent this DVD set. We've told you about this
before. It's a show that was on AMC called Rubicon. It was about
a spike of people that contract for the big spy agencies. And it
was one of the little contractors that and they're
finding things out and I don't want to give away this whole
story, but it starts off when one of the analysts finds coded
messages in a crossword puzzles. So apparently, according to this
Rubicon becomes life.
A Venezuelan crossword compiler has been questioned by
intelligence officers after accusations that he hid a coded
message to assassinate the President Hugo Chavez brother
are done in a puzzle. commentator on state television
said the words kill gunfire and a Dan had been hidden in a
crossword of a national newspaper. from Caracas, Sarah
Granger reports.
innocent puzzle or coded message this crossword got its compiler
Naphtali Segovia into a lot of trouble this week. Venezuelan
state television presenter Perez pirela said a group of
mathematicians psychologists and others had studied the crossword
and concluded it was a coded assassination plot. If the
deployment says to disarm, or joyless, these kinds of messages
were used frequently. The goals messages were famous when he
sent them to the French resistance from London. To him
France, after the accusations were broadcast, Segovia was
questioned by intelligence agents and released a statement
saying his work had no political dimension.
Oh, that's good. I like that
cracked me up. Yeah, well, you know,
if I weren't, you know, just along the lines of symbolism,
you know, your brain can actually decode this stuff quite
well. I'm convinced. You just don't at a conscious level, you
don't actually see the words into Circulus. Yeah, this is
what is believed to be true. You know, one of these days you and
I are just going to wake up and go, moss, do this now.
Kill all humans.
Kill all humans. Okay, I'll Tapia I'll stop here with one.
Someone sent me this clip. This is from wag the dog when was wag
the dog was that 1990
It was a ways to go, let's take a quick look in the book and
knowledge. So that was,
that was of course Dustin Hoffman. Dustin Hoffman, Robert
De Niro, a cast of 1000s. And the whole idea was they were in
order to
1997 Oh, wow, this later
and I thought, okay, so it's not even that long ago. So there's a
there's a clip in this film, which predicts the war on
terror, which of course, we didn't have at that time. I
didn't come until four years later. And this is where dinero
sitting in restaurant with the Fed, and which he's recognizable
by the earpiece and the curly wire in the restaurant. And the
Fed is saying, Hey, man, there's no war going on, because we
looked at our spy satellites. And there's nothing going on in
that country. So this has got to be faked. And here is De Niro's
little monologue.
And let me ask you something. Let me ask you a simple
question. Why do people go to walk? Why do they go to work?
I'll play your silly game. Okay. Why did they go to work to
ensure their way of life? Would you go to war to do that? I had
if you went to Oregon, who would it be against your ability to
fight it to ocean war against who who Sweden and Togo, that
time has passed, it's over the War of the future is nuclear
terrorism, it isn't. It'll be against a small group of
dissidents who unbeknownst perhaps to their own governments
have blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And to go to that war, you
have to be prepared, you got to be alert, the public has got to
be alert, because that is the War of the future. And if you're
not gearing up to fight that war, then eventually the actual
fallen, you're going to be out in the street. And you could
call this a drill. You could call this job security. You
could call it anything you like, but I got one for you. You said
go to war to preserve your way of life. Well, Chuck this, this
is your way of life. And if your spy satellites don't see
nothing. If there ain't no war, then you could go home and
prematurely take up golf, my friend, because there ain't no
war. But I was.
You have not seen wag the dog, you must watch this movie.
Oh, it's a great movie. I don't even know how they got hold
times. It's always hard. How did they even get it made? I think
it was because of the timing. It came into the book. It was it
was based on a book called American hero. It was done in
1993. And then it was obviously optioned and made into a movie
came out in 97. And that was just happened to be a lull in
the action. And it was but you mean no, there was a little that
Serbian thing going on? When You Wish I think it was a lot of
this was based on what Clinton was trying to do. But it just,
it's all wrapped in there. I think it's snuck in there.
It was good. It was good. It still is. It's a classic movie,
you can get it for free streaming for free quote for
free on Netflix and
all the technologies they show in there are nothing compared to
what you can do today. Yeah.
I mean, they were still using blue screen I think instead of
green screen. Remember those days when Chroma Key was blue?
So always a problem with people with real blue eyes.
Let me talk about a
couple things about words mattering and meaning something.
First, Zach, one of our producers caught me on something
I apparently overuse. And I want you to keep an eye on me, John.
Apparently I say turns out quite a bit.
Turns out Yeah, so that'd be your days as a pimp.
Yeah, so I don't want to be saying that too much. Because
that can be annoying. If people start focusing on us. I'll say
Well, it turns out that
well, would you use the stuff I was just about to ask
you, what would it sell good substitution B.
Turns out well to Turns out that so what you're doing when you
say there is a transitionary term, you're trying to switch
from a statement that is wrong to what it really means, right?
And so you're using that didn't make the transition. Maybe I
should say, say what's actually happening. But then you use that
word actual purely.
Factually, I could say it word, I could say, nothing could be
further from the truth.
But that will get boring after a while. But yeah, but here's what
you do you say nothing could be further from the truth. It turns
out that,
why? Because I'll just say why? Because
I don't know. I'll think about it. And I gotta have something
that they will make it a contest or listeners can send
suggestions for transitionary term terms or phrases we need
said better than turns out,
or the fact is, it's as bad as the fact of the matter. That's
that's known
fact of the matter is much worse. And then I got another
fact of the matter so bad when I'm watching any TV and somebody
says it now. You know, I defend the whole family starts jumping
up and down. Yeah,
no, I can make he does the same here. So I got like the buzzer
noise. Did you? He sees you on his follow up reply. Do you see
that I rape email from one of our listeners about my use of
the word homophobia?
Yeah, I thought that was I got a cc on that. I read it over a
little bit. And I said, No. It seems like a much to do about
nothing personally, but Well, I
thought it was valid.
I thought it would want you to summarize and
look at the summary is on the last program, we talked about
the President's interview, and where he said he supports. He's
leaning towards supporting gay marriage. And then and then
there was a, the interviewer, Robin Roberts, I think said,
Well, this is a huge issue in the black community. And then I
said, Well, wait a minute, you're saying the black
community is homophobic. And his point is the word homophobic is
an incorrect use of the term in that context. We're anti anti
homosexual, actually, because you I mean, I guess you can't
even use the word gay anymore. Because then yeah, that's the
wrong word does not the meaning of gay. But the definite, there
are a couple of definitions of homophobia. And whenever you put
phobia, after a word, it intends to mean the irrational fear. Now
I use it in the aversion to context, which is also according
to Merriam Webster, a proper is the second definition. And
that's fine. And the third is discrimination. But I have to
agree that you that using the word homophobia is in this
context incorrect because a lot of people may not have an
irrational fear of homosexuals. They may just be against gay
marriage. Or they may they may not agree with homosexuality,
but that doesn't mean it's irrational. And I have to I have
to agree with that. It's not irrational that they don't agree
with homosexuality, that's up to you. And it doesn't mean that
you have it. You know, if you're freaking out and spinning
around, and you know, and doing backflips, yeah, that's kind of
irrational.
I thought it goes that far. Well, but
in the media, you'll hear this very homophobic term
is is a misnomer. That's the problem with that debate you had
with this guy. It's a it's an it's kind of an accepted
misnomer that people just use casually, to mean, you're
against it. I mean, everything you said, is all wrapped up into
Word homophobia. But homophobia is a very aggressive word that
makes you it's just it's a shut up slave word.
Yeah, it is. It is. It is. It is because it basically says you
can't have an opinion because you're irrational. So I'm going
to not use that I'm not going to unless it's appropriate, but I'm
not going to use the phobia word. Unless it's appropriate.
That's good. I mean, I I take that the guy was an aihole The
way he put it, but fortunate partners blow hearts so and then
then I have one more because this is the President I
want to get back in something else. He said in that note, he
mentioned the word hetero phobia, which is the term I like
to use.
When at the club,
what hetero phobia is
that where do you use this term?
I use it on this show. Oh, okay. I've never heard refers to gays
who really I would say like a lot of gays are hetero hetero
Fobes in the same way a lot of straights are homophobes if
we're going to make the word kind of not really mean phobe.
And I would suggest that you run into this commonly especially if
you watch gay USA for example, and free speech TV, where he has
these two,
do I feel a clip coming? No, I don't have it. Because Have you
been watching
shows on once we I could I could I could record it now. I find at
least two or three moments of him. headrow phobia because they
blast the crap out of people in a way that's very unfair, I
think honest. Assume that if you don't if you're not for gay
marriage, for example, then you're upset. Yeah, then you're,
you're in a hole. And you're a horrible person. And I think
that's hetero phobia? Well, this
brings me to a second point. And I did a little bit of re
educating, I re educated myself a bit on the Constitution and
the concept of rights, as in the bill of rights and privileges.
And because I got a couple of people sending me emails saying,
Hey, man, what so if the state of Texas as I can't follow my
human rights of getting married, and I should move to New York,
and I'd like to remind you that marriage is not a right. I'm
going to talk about human rights. But it's not a right.
It's not in the Bill of Rights as per the Constitution. It is a
privilege granted to you by the state, and they have certain
terms around it. And someone else said something very
interesting. He said, homosexuals have the right to
get married just like everyone else, but they can only marry
someone of the opposite sex. They're actually asking for an
additional privilege, which is interesting. Know what I mean?
Yeah, actually, I've made that argument before people when they
get into a big debate, people will not like you for that.
Right. You do. Yeah, you do have the exactly the same rights.
It's not
a right. But it's a privilege. It's not a right. It's a
privilege, granted to you by that's a big difference. There
is nothing in the Constitution that talks about marriage at
all. It's a privilege that has been agreed to by society and
laws.
And it's also a church. You know, the technically marriage
is something that was done by the churches and its civil
unions would be something that would be done by the by the
government. So you know, which is also
a privilege. It's also a privilege, these are not right.
And this goes back to, I want to put that interview with the guy
who wrote the book on on rights. And I'll put that in the show
notes. You gotta watch that, and you gotta read that book. How
was the name of that book again? Because that was really
interesting how this whole human rights thing it's bullcrap.
There's no such thing as LGBT rights. There's no such thing as
any kind of sexuality rights, that's just not true. A right is
really about possession.
And ladies and gentlemen, it's adam@curry.com.
You know, it's important to understand the difference
because you people are being hoodwinked and programmed into
believing certain things or rights when they're not their
privileges. If you want to change the privileges, you've
got to change the legislature of your state.
Yes, like the right to drive, you know, it's
the same thing. You don't have a right to drive you have, you
don't even own your car. You know that.
Who owns my car,
you co own it with the state it unless you have the
manufacturer's statement of manufacturer, which you don't
have the state has that on microfiche in their archives.
That's why they can that's why they can ask you to charge you
money to register as basically rent. You do not want you can
get this by the way. If you go to another state, you buy a car
you say I'm gonna take this cart. So let's say you buy it in
Arizona, I'm gonna take this car to California, I will only buy
the car with cash if you give me the manufacturer's statement of
manufacturer and then you can you'll have to fight every
single time but then you technically do not have to
register that you don't have to have license plates you do not
have to
wear this one oh
you can you can consult the book of knowledge there are people
who have done this
so I could literally so let's say had a nice car a year to
registered in California. Yeah. What you're saying is if I
bought the car and some like Nevada and then I got this this
document, I can bring it into California and I don't have to
register it correct. I thought you had to register for as
permission to get on the road.
No, nope, nope. Nope. If you look at what registration is, it
is not permission to now will you be pulled over? Yes. Will
you get tickets? Yes. We have to fight it. Yes. We have to go to
court. Yes. Can you win? Absolutely. And it may not be
worth your trouble.
No but it's it's a good point. Yeah, well it's the same we're
not gonna look into this now. Now you got me Well, yeah, my
curiosity pitch the same with
land, John. You don't own your land. That's where the whilst
you have to why you have to pay taxes on your own land if you
own it. Why do you have to pay taxes on it? You don't because
it's been incorporated under the city of Berkeley or whatever you
co own it, and you own real estate. That means everything
you do on top Have it you can own but you don't actually want
100% outright buy yourself the land. This is the things people
don't understand. And I've been re educating myself it doesn't,
you know, it's not like you can go and change this
because you're on the process of trying to buy some land. Yes,
exactly. I'm
like, Hey, I'd really like to own it. Well, no, this is City
of
honestly, the most boring guy idle company, when you? Well,
and
this is how can you realize that you people, this is how it came
up? Because the guy that I'm working with very sweet guy, you
know, and he has a title company that he works with, and all
these agents do. And then part of the deal is they wanted to
use their title company. I'm like, why? What's the
difference? And then I started looking into title companies.
And you know, it's different from buying a house when you're
buying land. This is a very serious contract. And like,
well, what am I actually buying? You know, I'd like to know, now,
there's going to be a third party in this, which would be I
don't know the bank. But if you just leave that out of it, if I
could show up with with cash in hand and say, Here you go. As it
turns out, you don't actually owe it and yeah, they hate me.
Because I'm asking all these questions that I think that we
don't even want to do a deal with me. Like, this guy has too
much pain in the ass. He's asking too many questions. Ah,
interesting. No, right?
Yeah, no, I mean, I never thought much about it. Because
you just, you know, you get your property and you live there,
whatever, then you sell someone else. And then you get another
one. And you don't think about the the any of these other
issues because they don't come up in the conversation. They
don't seem to interfere with commerce know, in any way,
shape, or form. But it but if it turns out that essentially just
as way to steal your money, which is what you're making it
sound like well, it's something to look into. But then again, if
it's set up in such a way, this is the exact same thing I was
talking about earlier, people have been, you know, made not to
like the value for value proposition, because they just
don't know the way it should be. It's free. It's free with
advertising, not to advertising. And of course, the advertising
model is now being busted left and right, because of you know,
DVRs and everything else, right, which is causing nothing but
panic, and then the internet's changed things made music piracy
easy. So the whatever the case, it's like, A, you just assume
these things, and I never, I'm gonna, I'm gonna look into this
car thing, because that actually, if that's true, that's
a scandal.
It's another column for Jonathan. So the book is like,
I'm sorry, the book is the last utopia, human rights in history.
Samuel Moyn, m a y n, it's in the shownotes now under human
rights 408 In a show notes.com or big book, show.com have a
look at this interview. Because it is very timely when you hear
everyone talking about human rights and human rights and
water rights again, and this really is just it's it's a scam.
It really is. It's just not true. It's not the correct use
of the word. But yeah, we're being to kind of suckered into
it.
Well, you know, I'm also reminded of the anti tax nut
balls that are out there that hate the federal income tax, and
then they make the argument. I've run into a couple of these
guys. They make the argument well, first of all, it's
voluntary. So you don't really have to pay the taxes. Yeah, and
what and then they have these cockamamie schemes, which a lot
of people have been suckered into and now like Wesley Snipes,
Wesley Snipes, yeah, then you put your money offshore over
here, and then you create a trust and then you make the
trust owned by another trust and that trust puts money into an
account which then you can go to the bank and use your ATM and
pull the money out of the account. But it's coming from
the trust that's owned by another trust which can which
the money's not even in this country. And it's just you the
whole thing and then the scheme and it's a real I've seen this
present presentation, because it's been on television and the
guy is just like arrows going from here to there and somehow
money and this is just asking for trouble in the bed by the
way we will get letters for bringing this up because there's
people that listen to our show that believe will say This is
bull crap this works. This is great. We have no tax system is
Voluntown No, it's not it's it's
awesome. I'll tell you one thing. The IRS has guns and they
come into your home your place of work with their guns,
I've had this your money and they like you might be
voluntary, but you're gonna get extorted for it. I mean, there's
no way you can not let me
let me tell you another crazy story. So I'm helping Mickey
with her visa. And you know I don't want to pay a lawyer to do
this I can read I'm a government legislation analyst. So I get
all the appropriate forms. And you can download them then you
get the and by the way, they have them all locked PDF like
you have to you have to you're forced to get Adobe otherwise
you can't read it. You can't copy something out of it. You
know, it's like real good. Oh crap. And you have to get the
right form the right date. And I'm reading through this. And
there's two things, first of all the fee. And this just blew me
away the fee for her visa $420. Now, are you kidding me? For
2420 at me and government documents for immigration, apply
some bonehead,
some joker, some Stoner and the
Department of Homeland Security. Yes. Yeah. But the second thing,
so you have to send a check for this $420 and Department of
Homeland Security says, We will not you will not receive this
check back. We will do we will debit your bank account for that
money. I find that frightening.
Well, I had to get my car repaired, and the dealership now
has a
jeep, but I'm not authorizing. I'm getting a check. And then
they can use that as authorized authorization just to just say
to my bank, hey, give me that. Yeah, that's bull crap.
That's what they're doing it the good everywhere. Now they take
the check. I thought this was interesting. This first place
I've seen Dubai can see this happening all over. They take
the cheque, and they run it into some little scanner, which reads
everything off to check. And then the scanner goes to the
bank and then takes the money out of the account somehow
without the cheque ever showing up it. Yeah, this is not good.
This guy back to check. They say yeah, and then they you know,
they don't even get the check back, though. No, they say I
know you don't have to get the check back. It's far too much
work to do that. But But it's like, yeah, yeah, this whole,
that this is all the same process of getting us off to any
ability to actually handle our own money.
Exact not the check was not void, yellow, just you have to
send a valid check. Anyway, the President also use some
interesting terminology. You know, he has these things that
pop up over and over again, like everyone gets a fair shot, pay
their fair share, play by the same rules, we got that one, we
have the American dream of work, you'll work hard, set a little
aside for a time and maybe send your kids to college and die
with dignity. That is the American dream as according to
our current president of the United States and the entire
administration. And now he's got a new one, which is bothering
me. And I think someone should call him on it. Because it's
bullcrap. And I'm calling him on it passing tax cuts for
workers, to opening up new markets for American products,
to reforming our patent system. But now we need to do more.
That's why we made Congress a handy to do list. It's like the
kind I get
from the show. Now I'm sorry. You're the president of the
United States. And your wife is giving you a to do list of what
what is on the to do list. Walk The Dog what is it?
I don't know walk the dog do the dishes. I don't think he does
anything. This bullcrap he doesn't get it to do lists,
lists from Michelle lessons. Go buy me something, like get the
jet ready so I can fly to Spain.
Not even that he's got to he's got assistance for that. But she
has no to do lists for him.
She has she has 20 assistants or something like they own really
good. She has a $1 million budget for assistants The
only thing that can be on the to do list is what he's about to
say here. Because he says just like the one I get from Michelle
so the true ruler of America is the First Lady to here's her to
do list. It's a
handy said to do list. It's like the kind I get from the show.
It's short, but each of the ideas on this list will help
create jobs and build a stronger economy right now.
She is helping us build jobs Yeah, it's annoying and he's
used this over and over again everywhere just like the To Do
lists they get from Michelle do people fall for this?
I don't know. I got him on one I got one of his things that he's
got this new fired up and ready to go thing ready to go home
that well when I first started I actually tweeted this I said now
Obama's once it says ready to go I thought he wanted to run for
reelection and it's just kind of a joke. Because he sounds like
he's ready to go he's ready to leave. So but play the you're
gonna have to endure this but it this is why listening to the
Obama fired up and ready to go. Oh, good thing, thing. The thing
here we go. But here here's the favorite. After a minute or so.
I'm feeling kind of Florida. I'm feeling like I'm ready to go.
Join in the chat and feels good. And for the rest of the day.
Even after we left Greenwood it seemed myself I say Are you
fired up and say we're fired up boss are you ready to go on
sound ready to go? Once you hear it? You will never forget. So so
some people start putting fired up ready to go on their shirts.
Some people start putting fire The breaking on science
everybody is saying and ready to go. Which shows you what one
voice can do. One voice can change a room. And if a voice
can change a room, it can change a city. And if it can change the
city, they can change the state. I can change the state, it can
change
the change, it can change the world. Your voice can change the
world. So I just got one question for you. Are you fired
up? Are you ready to go? Ready to go. Go ready to go. Ready to
go. Ready to go. Ready to go. Let's go change the world.
Yeah, that's not mine control.
Well, you know, it's also black preaching. So anyone who didn't
think he went to the brights church and never listened. He
obviously that's not true. This is a classic style of preaching
that white boys and white girls don't never seen before. They
never heard of they never they have no idea. That's what's what
he's doing. It's cool, but it is it's very propagandistic. And by
mind control
business what Hitler did. Yeah. And people loved him. By the way
people love Hitler.
Did light Yeah. No, we always in denial about that.
We were taught differently. We're taught incorrectly.
He's loved Hitler. Yeah. He was there because he was fired up
and ready to go.
Hey, you're fired up and ready to go. Whoa. Okay, John. Good
one. I found that an outfit that I'm looking into. This is
actually let me let me take let me take you to a different
place. First, let me take you to where is she now? clippity clop.
I was wondering now because Lucifer, Hillary Clinton has
this little thing where she has dignitaries visiting. And she is
comes out in the double doors open wide, and she clipped the
clubs out with her hooves onto the rug with a dignitary and
then she says, Oh, it's so great for you to be here. So let me
just play the most recent one that it took me a while to
figure out what was going on.
message is clear. Good afternoon, I am delighted to
welcome His Royal Highness
here, those whose men clip clop clip clop to the State
Department.
Back rain is a value to ally of the United States. We partner on
many important issues of mutual concern.
So you catch it. This is the crown prince of Bahrain. You
with me?
Yeah, he's our buddy. Yeah, each of our nations
and to the regional and global concerns as well. I'm looking
forward to a chance to talk over within with His Royal Highness a
number of the issues, both internally and externally, that
Bob crane is dealing with and have some better understanding
of the ongoing efforts that the government of buffering
is undertaking. So and then he says, Thank you. It's great.
It's awesome to be here. Whatever. Like why, why why what
is going on? What are these important issues that we're
talking about? Oh, can
I just interrupt for a sec? Sure. Do they have those cameras
miked? Yeah, no,
it's annoying. I know. There's no reason to have that. You
don't need your cameras
aiming at her. It's a directional mic. I guarantee
you.
Yeah. But no, it's a directional mic from the back of the room.
So they can also do the if there's questions, they can
focus it on the on the question asker
it can turn that mic down. What click click, click, click,
click, click, click, click. It's
the whole isn't. You're not supposed to be listening to
this. This is the whole point. This is a photo op. It's a photo
op. And I go on to I'm like, What is going on? And I wait and
I search and I wait and the next day? Oh, there it is. Ah, the US
State Department announced today that President Obama has signed
off on a resumption of weapons sales to Bahrain. It's like,
wow, you know all these important things. You're full of
crap. Lucifer is just as to sign the $53 million initial deal,
where we're going to sell 44 Humvee armored vehicles several
several 100 t o w missiles along with associated equipment.
maintenance contracts. Yes
well prime contractors are am General and Raytheon. But they
make a very important statement that though nothing will be sold
that can be used against protesters. So unlike the 44
armed Humvees and the towel missiles, they're not selling
tear gas. No tear gas will be sold in this deal. We're arming
by rain and that's when oil important issues Yes, it's very
good. Yes. Very good at what they do the deal at the Formula
One race, elitist pricks.
douchebags that's for sure.
He's a photo op. And all the press is like, that's great.
What do you have to say? Royal Crown Prince, Your Highness, let
me kiss your ring.
Well, this will bring me to kind of another off just slightly off
topic.
Welcome to the off Todd, the show of off topics. It
brings us since you brought up the Middle East. I might as well
talk about the murder at the Kentucky Derby. Oh, yes. Yeah.
Okay. play Kentucky Derby.
homicide occurred in the backside of the community where
hundreds of stable hands live. And they've shut down? Yes,
the police have no known leads. Where do you start this
investigation? Well, I like that underbelly concept. Because I
think the greater story here here is the culture that exists
in this the backside 1000 horses, 600 migrant workers not
so different than migrant farmworkers. But their horse
caretakers, they feed they clean the stalls, and a lot of them
are undocumented citizens that are undocumented people from
Central America, you're gonna have a very hard time with
witnesses or anyone coming forward to talk because they're
not going to want a the truth about the underside or the
backside being known and be these people are afraid of being
deported. So it, it could be a big story where maybe this man
knew something about drugging horses or fixed races, and
whether we're doping allegations not that long ago, or it could
be simply stable hands having a barroom fight.
All right, John C. Dvorak, we're very interested in your
station races are rigged. And I stopped betting after the
barbell row incident, I want to tell you that just relayed this
story and nobody picked up I mean, I don't I read nothing
after this happened. But the typical trick that they like to
use, and I think this guy was killed, for some reason, because
the horse that one was not the horse that was supposed to win.
Oh, the way this is supposed to go down. And it's done in almost
every year, not quite not quite every year, but there's
obviously not going to happen this year. The idea is you when
you have one outstanding horse when the first two races and be
ready to win the Triple Crown. Everybody puts their money on
that then a ringer comes in and wins. That's the formula. Okay?
That's the formula. Okay, now, and this happened over and over
again. In the classic examples in 2006. The horse was Barbaro,
undefeated horse, the hands down winner of every race that had
ever raced goes to the Kentucky Derby wins with the near record
race time, about 20 lengths against the next horse goes to
the Belmont Stakes, wins. No problem. Now the next race is
the Preakness and the horse is that the length that the horse
does best. Now this horse again now is not never lost. But when
the two big ones, everybody goes down and bets on this horse
because it's going to no matter who's racing against it, it's
going to win. Now we need the ringers, we bring in the ringer,
they bring in a ringer, but they still have to deal with this
horse being the fastest thing on the track. They shoot it right.
Well, the you know, the funny thing is they ended up shooting
it of course, here's what happened. They I watched this
race and I said Ah, that's it. I'm never going to even watch
racing anymore after this scam. They put all the horses and if
you read the if you read the accounts of this, the horse had
a false start. How do you have a false start there in these in
the gates? They're all closed up. He jumped out and his gate.
None of the open first gate opened. The other one stayed
locked. His gate opens of course takes off like a rocket breaks
his leg. computer glitch. They never explained it. It was never
discussed in any stories I've ever read. Nobody bitched about
this, they put over it. I think it didn't break his leg quite
them but he was already spooked and weird. So they have to go
put him back in. The race takes off then he breaks his leg
because he's already ruined because of this false start. And
it goes into the horse that wins. It was never in the
Kentucky Derby Derby was never in the Belmont. It was a horse
from Dubai owned by the the ruler the kingdom was the vice
president of the UAE They brought him in as a ringer. He
won easily after barbero. Barbara was came up lame with a
broken leg they had to shoot the horse one of the greatest horses
in the history of racing. This was rigged well this whole thing
is a ridiculous scam I'm
so I'm so upset by this scandal
you think all sporting is rigged?
Of course it is all professional sports are rigged. course
this is but now me well, they had to shoot this Mexican.
Because he was like so obvious he screwed up their scheme for
this year.
Perfect. You know, don't mess around you stupid Mexican.
So anyway, that's my racing.
So I've, you know, in our we have kind of a new quest, which
I'm liking this and we find all these bullcrap nonprofit
organizations and, and how they operate,
we could just do a show on that.
Well, I like doing one or two an episode. So go to mobile
active.org. While you're looking for that site, I'll read the sub
text here a global network of people using mobile technology
for social impact. And this is basically it's a job site. And
it's like jobs, check out current tech and mobile in
social change positions.
Who's this guy the thing with this guy with the head gear,
the kind of guy they're looking for. So this is you know, he's
like Human Rights Watch is seeking a researcher on the
internet and human rights. So these are techno experts. This
is where you get recruited cheap
us Institute of Health is looking to fill some technical
positions for the meso American Health Initiative Project in
Mexico. This is a bunch of this is front for some spies,
okay. So if you find out who this organization is, they are a
fully owned subsidiary of the Nonprofit Technology Network,
the NT n and the website for that is n t e n.org. Now here's
where it gets interesting. So if you look at their about page
went in at NT n n t e n t e n o n t e n n t e n aspires to a
world where all nonprofit organizations use technology
skillfully and confidently to meet community needs and fulfill
their missions. And you look at this place and this thing.
It was just a website designed by the same guy did the other
website dA.
So you know, you see their mission statement. You look at
their board. Very interesting board members. Let's see. What
do we have here?
Oh, here it is. Board. Yeah.
We've got
why is this woman holding your chin as she did this stuff?
Weird photo, Amy Borgstrom.
I know. She's great, isn't she? She's like a hooker.
Talk about hookers. Khadija Andreessen was pretty hookeri.
But on the board is Edward Gregor hop, global CIO
International Red Cross and Red Crescent societies. So you know,
this is obviously the techno experts. chillage. And I go and
now there are 501
Kresge Foundation. Yeah, there are stereos droop. Yeah, there
are black bod. They're open ground, which is, yeah,
they're a 501 C for good.
There's one there's, what are we going to call our organization?
I don't know. We're going to try to do good work. Well, let's
call it the Network for Good.
Instead, you could call the Devorah Consulting Group. We
know how to do this for you. We'll come up with something
better than that. Yes, No. Good. So they're a 501 C three
Corporation, which means they're nonprofit, but they don't have
to report who gives their money, which I think this has to stop.
I think if you're a nonprofit, we should know who's giving you
money. This is this 501 C three is bullcrap. From their mission
statement to educate the public members of the philanthropic
community and other section 501 C, three organizations ie other
secret fronts, on how technology can help to advance charitable
missions to connect diverse constituents that share a common
goal of helping nonprofits use technology more effectively,
like NGOs and other countries. Membership is made up of both
individuals and organizations, including nonprofits,
technology, support organizations, consultants and
vendors, who want to identify peers, connect with clients
develop professional support networks and share information
and resources. So the thing that was interesting is they in
truth, their revenue numbers 2006 They did
$244,000 2007 $211,000 2008 $424,000 So now they're they've doubled
then 2009 463 So pretty much flat then 2010 Oh $2 million
Oh, somebody sorrows came along,
or the State Department or somebody, and we can't find out.
But if you look at this, this website, these are where the
technical experts are hired.
Well, if you go to the address, which I like to do it, you know,
Southwest Taylor and number 800, and Portland, there's a whole
bunch of all this is not a mail drop, because there's obviously
one place that has, like idealist.org. Is that that
address? And if you look at their website, to take one,
yeah, no, take it down the same road, same designer. Yeah. And
do the Personal Democracy Forum. And they have this thing with
the internet's new political power. This is a this is a this
is interesting. You stumbled onto something here? Yeah,
that's why I bring it up.
What all these double onto except for the tech no extras,
I'm not sure how parenthood is changing the way I work. A
member of the idealists team offers a personal reflection of
Mother's Day I'm a new mom to her daughter blabbity blah,
blah, blah.
It was on our team here@idealist.org who's on the
team?
It's a good question people put Barbar number of jobs
organizations volunteer opportunities internships, it
doesn't say know what know if you got this 421,000 People
network done this idealist.org?
Well, you what you need to do because all these sites, they
always mess it up. So they don't have to ever have an About tab
but if you go to the bottom of the page, that's kind of like an
old an old throwback to making fashion. Yeah, there's always an
about us our
team. Let's see.
Put barber Who's that guy?
Huh? Put the guy's names put and read his name. And let's say
we're gonna name our kid. Well, we made all our money in the
stock market selling puts let's
call them call now we can we'll have to call put that's funny.
Put put put barber a call put.
He's a senior advisor. We need the board of directors.
They don't have a board. Yeah, it's just up above. Kathy.
Director. So you go.
And educators explored public engagement. She's at the
Learning Community, another
learning community. I mean, this is employing people man this is
and here we are. We're like two schmucks watching C span all
day. Why do we even bother? We just need to do one of these
things. Yes, of course we should. We can go suck some
schlong and DC and we'll get some money. No doubt about it.
Michael D. Smith of the Case Foundation that Steve cases case
found.
It could be. Could be. Anyway, it's a rabbit hole, obviously.
Oh, yeah. No, you could I'm sure we could spend hours going from
one site to another. Sandy. This week. I've heard of this bird.
This is the one at the bottom Sandy Stone said never the
president of the ONE Campaign advocacy organization based in
Washington.
Citizen, the ONE Campaign There you go. We know of Banos
involved is not good. That's Banos outfit.
Yeah. All right. Well, you gotta click on that your you gotta go
back. You got to click on that link where it says the ONE
Campaign and look at this. What comes up?
Is it What page is this? Oh, the one with at the bottom. I got
it. What comes up? Thrive. Oh, that's thrive.
And liquidate all these pictures. They got Merkel and
Obama ins what's Harper?
The seed of change it's time to break the vicious cycle of
hunger and poverty. Please urgently agree to an implement a
bold global plan to ensure 50 million people escaped poverty
through agriculture and 15 million children no longer
endure chronic malnutrition Yeah, what kind of bold plan is
that?
And by the way, who's this guy is that the new guy from France?
That's over second to the left. He's already
on the right that looks like him Orlando Yeah, yeah, he's already
in
wow these guys keep up well,
they're making all this free money all they got to do is
build a website and and hosted a drink once in a while. Collect
the checks Very good. Very good. I love the little dancing beans
over their heads up should be a game you should be able to click
on Obama's hand and would pop up and eat the being
signed petition wait a minute this is you with at least
checked Oh yeah.
I'm clicking on No thanks. Take me to one.org Yeah, I
clicked on that.
All right. Okay. So anyway, like can I move off of this? I just
want to mess with it. You brought it up and I know it's
we're techno experts go it's just to show you that all this
money is and they'll come wasn't the State Department USA ID,
human rights now all this stuff? So last night, I was up quite
late actually, I watched this documentary called debt talk
cracy. As I said, at the top of the show, it's a crowdfunded
documentary about Greece. And actually the reason why I was
interested in this is because you brought it up on the last
show, and you brought it up again on that Horowitz podcast
you do about Greece now wanting to investigate the actual debts
that they may or may not have to the bankers.
You with me? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Are you still? Are you still looking@one.org? Can
I can I? Not I'm sorry.
Can I have your undivided? I need to get out of the media
center. John.
I just okay. bonaero statement on the selection of Dr. Jim Yong
Kim is the president of the World Bank get
out of the media center when anything? Get out of the media
center.
Okay, I'm closed. I'm closing the site closing 123 gone.
Now, do I have your attention? I can smell I can smell I can just
see it was like, click, click, click. Wow, what is this
bullcrap, click click click. Alright, so did you hear what I
said about the dominatrix are
very suspicious of this so called is all of a sudden they
joined the EU next thing you know, they're broke. How's this
work?
So this documentary, very well done. They raised a lot of the
fact they raised so much money, they had money left over to
promote the documentary. It's in Greek. And actually somewhere
it's in French and a little bit of it's in German. It has
English subtitles. poorly done, I have to say because I
understand the German and French I can get a little bit the Greek
Not really but subtitling not so great, but Greek to me. Yeah.
But it goes into essentially, it makes a comparison between
what's happening with Greece right now. And Greece has the
Troika, it has the EU, the IMF, and the European Central Bank,
who are now trying to take money from the slaves and give it to
the banks. They compare it to what happened with Argentina.
And Argentina was essentially exactly the same where they had
the IMF and actually Washington, were saying, hey, slaves, we're
taking your money, and we're giving it to the banks. And
Argentine that didn't end so well. You know, there was huge
riots and the country got screwed. Then they bring in the
comparison with Ecuador, and Ecuador. They elected a guy
named Carrera. And he said, Screw it. This is odious debt.
And like, Whoa, there's a new term. Are you familiar with
odious debt?
No, I'm not. But I am familiar with the fact that Ecuador is
the country that was cited the most as the target of the
economic hitman by Perkins in his first book,
he's actually in this about about Ecuador. And because they,
they were given loans that they could never pay back, ever, even
when they signed the deal. And so Ecuador got out of it by
saying Hold on. This is international law. This was
odious debt from the book of knowledge. In international law,
odious debt is a legal theory that holds the national debt
incurred by a regime for purposes that do not serve the
best interests of the nation should not be enforceable. Such
debts are thus considered by this doctrine to be personal
debts of the regime that incurred them, and not the debts
of the state. In some respects, the concept is analogous to the
invalidity of contract signed under coercion. And this was
started, this was started by a guy named Alexander sack, a
Russian theorist who use this on the United States. When we
acquired Cuba, essentially, along with Cuba came in for 100
years of debts to the Spanish colonial regime. And Alexander
sack then argued successfully,
by the way, were the ones who repudiated the debt. Yeah, the
correct I read in Mexico, it was during Maximilian when he came
down here, and this was during the Civil War era, when
Maximilian was dropped in just a little background. Maximilian
was dropped into Mexico by the French, as the British had the
northern, they had Canada and it was it was implied that the
United States would just the Civil War would bust the company
in half, then the French would move in from the south, and the
British removing from the north and take over the country so
they could get a hold of the gold that we do we had on the
West Coast. And so the whole thing was a giant scheme to bust
us up. And so the French during the Napoleon, the third era, and
the British were not our friends.
Right. All right. And now let me get back to the point I'm
making. Thanks for that interlude. So the last time
odious debt was used, do you know when that was, it's not in
the Wikipedia. It's in the documentary and I liked Very
much. The last time this was used was Iraq, in 2002. Before
we went into Iraq, the Bush administration went to the IMF
and, and the Paris Club and said, Look, this Saddam, he's
got huge palaces, he spent all this money on weaponry, we're
gonna go in there. And of course, we're basically going to
conquer it. But you have to agree that these are odious
debts. And Iraq, the people of Iraq will not have to pay this
back. Because otherwise, you know, it's screwed. We're going
to spend all this money going there. And we don't want you
taking the oil. It's our oil, because we're conquering this.
So you have to say, under odious debts, you don't have to pay it
back and they made a deal. The deal was okay, we'll give you a
40% cut on the debt. But you cannot go public and call it
odious debt, because that'll we don't want that shitstorm. We
can't have this. This concept being
a deal rather than Yeah, exactly. Men have odious debt.
Exactly.
So if you look at Greece, in particular, the Siemens scandal,
and we've discussed it once or twice, maybe because we know we
really didn't look too deeply into it. But Siemens really,
really, they bribed all kinds of government and government
officials, they bought everybody off. And a lot of these debts
were incurred through the corrupt Siemens deal. So what
they're now trying to do, and of course, it's not easy to get a
hold of the documents, but they now do have a team. And this is
not a team of, you know, you can't have you know, government
legislators, you need people like John C. Dvorak and Adam
curry, who, you know, can just go in and read a contract and
say, Oh, this bullcrap. And this is this isn't, you know, clearly
these guys are corrupt, and therefore, it's an odious debt.
And that's what the fight is about right now, is the Greeks
are now saying, Hold on odious debt. This is debts that were
made under corruption, coercion, we had nothing to do with it.
You cannot put this on the people. We're not going to pay.
And that's what's going on right now. And I thought it was
fascinating. It's only an hour and 15 minutes as documentary,
but Well, we're lying. Where do you get us? No, it's online.
It's, it's freely available online link in the show notes at
408. Dot na shownotes.com under Euro land,
and it's called
debt debt. Debt talk. cracy. Yep. Fascinating stuff. And of
course,
no, this is probably the same thing going on in Spain is oh,
it's
exactly the same thing going on in Spain. Exactly the same. As
always,
what I find interesting, is that this this thing about Iran,
Iraq, Iraq,
Iraq, Yes, correct. correctly, Iraq.
The Iraq situation is that they would they wanted to keep this
term from getting too much into the public domain? Correct?
Because because it has a I'm not going over the same wiki page.
It is very powerful if you can make this kind of thing stick.
And that's international should get it would get Spain off the
hook, it would get it we get everybody that's been screwed
over by the you know, the Germans, essentially, the EU by
you know, by creating these odious debt situations. Yeah.
No, of course, you can. We're walking from this odious debt.
You need a really courageous bunch of people to do this. But
I'll tell you, when it comes time for America, I'm there. I'm
a government legislation analyst here my credentials. This is my
partner, John C. Dvorak. He assists me on slide whistle,
we're here to look at the papers will be their best pleased will
be there will be upfront. Meanwhile, here's what you did
not see in America on television, how Spain is doing
in Madrid 1000s took to the streets. They call themselves
the Indignados. But he referred movement that first protested
last year against economic hardship and political
corruption. A year on they say little has changed.
A year has gone by and nothing has happened. Things haven't
improved at all. In fact, they've got worse. The
government hasn't sorted anything else. Everything is
worse. Cuts are ongoing in healthcare and education. This
is what we're demonstrating about.
And there was real anger directed at the banks.
were ignored by the banks now that they have injected millions
into that and that was exactly what they have taken from
education. We are a bit tired, because they are always the same
ones who take the money. They talk about the crisis and there
is no crisis of term private debt into public debt.
unemployment in Spain is nearly 25% the highest in the euro
zone. Here it's the young who are worst hit. Half of all
Spaniards have been 25 are out of work. Tonight 105 1000 people
gathered in the main square of Madrid, Spain joins the widening
protests across Europe against austerity.
100,000 people John, where's Anderson? Cooper? 100,000
people. This is Tahir square times for 100,000 people pooper
get on the scene. Now you can't because you're assigned a
script. You're a slut of the banking, Uber lords. I'm telling
you odious debt. It's a it's a great term. It's a great
concept. It's a legal concept that's been used over and over
the United States use it on Iraq, Iraq. This is very
important stuff. Very, very important stuff.
Yeah, that's a good find.
Is that how you compliment me, daddy? Oh. It's okay. All right.
All right, then. Let me just play this. You know, because
we're about to ask people to support our cause. We could also
do it this way, September
11 2001. The terrible events of that day will live in infamy by
the United States would ensure that those responsible would pay
the ultimate price justice will be done. On May 1 2011. We
leaked members of Seal Team Six carried out a daring operation
with extraordinary bravery and precision.
Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world
justice has been done.
And now the historic coin Mint is making available this rare
commemorative coin paying tribute to the team who carried
out operation Geronimo. Have you seen this commercial
and no, but I just makes me cringe. They've already stealing
the day it lives in infamy from you know, Roosevelt and World
War with an attack on Pearl Harbor. Find to be offensive.
But this is a great deal, John.
Because you get a coin. Is you got the head of bin Laden
No, listen what
it has featuring the courageous SEAL team and their secret
stealth helicopter.

It
was definitely from a privileged background. But his father
didn't own the business that he worked in. He managed it. Rupert
always saw himself as an outsider. He thrived on that,
but gave him a competitive edge.
He would set himself apart further when he went on to
Oxford, where his attraction to Communist philosophy earned him
a nickname. Read Rupert

for this light. Supporters very light. We didn't do very well on
this Sunday show and hopefully people will say well, you know,
that show was pretty interesting, especially the part
about the odious debt.
Apparently, this is interesting. The slide whistle weapon Ron is
now an instant internet viral sensation. It has been clipped
in his already going around the interwebs. I want to play that
as end of show after your end of show. That the end of end of
shows the end of end of show. Yes, well it is value for value.
Stay tuned for the book. Come on, John, we can do this. Yeah,
okay, well, let's
crank it out. I mean, we have enough material just from the
shows, you know what's so good about it is is about three
things in every show that could go into a book
with value for value. I mean that that's all that it is. I
mean, we're about value for value, not about the show. I
don't understand what you're doing.
I don't understand what you're talking about.
Well, we do the book about the book is called value for value.
I think we should do a no agenda primer, as a book. Yeah, we do
at least three things per show, that would go into a book and be
very readable and interesting. I mean, the odious debt thing
alone is worth the price of the book.
So what is the what is the confessions of media assassins?
Is that is that our
start?
Yeah, well, let's let's think of a title. All right, well, we're
gonna later work on that. Anyway, the only way that we can
continue to do this is through your generous support through

program. Hey, wow. Haiti is back in the news. And there's a
reason for it. Yeah, I saw
this the it's, it's funny.
The reason they're in the news is because the United Nations in
Haiti 2011 report has come out. I've read this for you. I'm not
going to dissect it, you can take a look at it for yourself.
But it's kind of funny. Right there in chapter two, can any
good news come out of Haiti and not have one listens to the
eminent person who travels from the airport to the hotel and
probably pronounced that no progress has been achieved. Or
if you believe the TV correspondent who stands in
front of a collapsed house and states that almost no Rubble has
been removed since the earthquake. But this narrative
of failure goes too far. Of course, in the aftermath of a
major earthquake, which just a few seconds caused damage is
estimated $7 billion equivalent to slightly more than the
country's gross domestic product to those nine, the extent of
continuing cholera epidemic, Haitians face enormous obstacles
of recovery. Of course, the impact of these twin
catastrophes, oh now as twin catastrophes has been compounded
by the reality that Haiti faced daunting and well known
structural problems even before these events structure Shut up.
To the this whole report is like a big excuse. Really. So the of
course the fun news is that the International Federation of Red
Cross and Red Crescent societies is going to take 10 and a half
million dollars of the money that was raised you remember
when the Bondo and Bon Jovi and and all the Hollywood guys and
George Clooney and the
television it was all the networks that were running this
thing it was to collect the money for the poor Haitians?
Yeah, you know what? I remember watching it. Yeah, you know
what they're gonna do with the that with 10 and a half million
dollars of that.
What we'll hold on a second. Are you telling me that this money
hasn't already been spent on the Haitians?
Oh, no. In fact, if you look at the annual the 2011 report, they
haven't even spent 25% with the Red Cross, who you don't like
give your money the Red Cross and they go in they help people
know they're gonna build a hotel and conference center. The hope
is profits could sustain the work of Hades local Red Cross in
the coming years, so they're giving it to themselves in the
form of a hotel and conference center. The 10 acre compound
known as the Hilton property, was purchased from Haiti's local
cigarette company in the months after the quake. The charity
paid in a single payment. Yeah, they've got cash, hey,
you got cash cash?
Hey, we don't need a mortgage man. We're cash buyers here.
Using funds donated by National Red Cross agencies. This is an
outrage. This isn't just
the people that bridge phoned in they they put punched up a
number on their cell phone to get billed by the phone company.
And this is where it went. Yep. To a hotel. But the real
discount at the hotel at least.
Oh, you might get a Hilton's reward card as possible. But the
real news one of those the real news came out yesterday.
They found gold.
Yeah.
They expect $20 billion worth of gold is in the ridges of the
country's north eastern mountains.
Yeah, yeah. Great. The public of Haiti, you will get not a nickel
of it.
But when you read into this, it turns out that mining I'm there.
See that? Turns out
there you go. You said it. I don't know that you're catching
yourself because I get
no it's it's annoying to say that curry. So here's what is
being told
to work can't do it again, do it.
mining camps have been going on for years. And US and Canadian
investors, the one who caused the earthquake has spent more
than 30 million in recent years and everything from exploratory
drilling to camps for workers, new roads, offices and
laboratory studies of samples. Actual mining has been underway
for five years. So think about this for your earthquake
machine. Because of course, they hadn't had an earthquake in 90
years. This was not a known fault. Maybe they harp harp this
thing triggered it not only to grab control of the country, but
to shake up the earth so they could get to the gold.
Well, is it possible because we know that this is can be done.
It happened in California when they were trying to lubricate
the vault some decades ago,
lubricate the fault. I like that that's a good show title. And
hey, baby, let me lubricate the fault.
They they were screwing around because this sounds doesn't
sound like a gold mine in the classic sense where you go in
there with a pic. And
with a mural with a mural in a bucket.
It doesn't sound like that. It sounds more like this. You know,
it's like it has to be torn. It literally has to be ground up.
And so you want to crack the crunchy Yeah, ha pound it was
all kinds of heavy explosives. And then you they triggered an
earthquake by accident. What better way rather just do the
silently.
Well, yeah, but there's it's very silent because no one knows
about this $20 billion. That is. That's five years worth of their
GDP.
Yeah. And I think they were hoping they could bump mine this
and ship it out of the country before anyone got wind of it.
Well, MSNBC reported this, which I thought was interesting. So
they got wind of it. There's other kinds of crazy things that
are going on like that. All right, all over the place. Sure.
The media does, but $20 billion concerned about, you know,
Romney, shaving some kid's head.
Boy, meanwhile, the true presidential candidate Ron Paul
had breakfast with Ben Bernanke.
Oh, that must have been that would be great to be at that
breakfast.
Yeah, it was just him and Ben. And from the article is from a
Wall Street Journal, the Fed chief and lawmaker had sort of
an open discussion, Mr. Powell said while declining to provide
any details of the conversation was off the record. What do you
think happened? I think this this, if anything, this is this
is the meeting where it's like a A Boy, you better stop this
messing about now. Because you know you got your son there in
the Senate. This I bought.
Ron, who you okay you don't have any you're not carrying a wire
anything. Everything you say is true. I don't know what to do
about it, Ron, I have no idea I'm it is not me that's
controlling these things. I'm just told what to do but I can't
tell you who's telling me it's just God was I'd be dead
tomorrow Stop
picking on me
because you need any help to get that get the nomination. I saw
I wonder why why, you know, no one's talking about this. What
do you think that meeting is? I mean, that's that's the power
breakfast right there. And he's always messin with Bernanke in
these hearings. And what could that have been? I hope he didn't
have any oysters
will be bad? I don't know. We'll find out in the weeks ahead.
Well, we won't.
Ron Paul. Isn't his mum, his mum about the whole thing.
Say Ron, it is tungsten and Fort nosh. Gotta lay off easily got
nothing
ixnay and the tree is broke. Stop it.
Nothing. If you audit the Fed. We're done.
Let me show you this slide presentation. Let me show this
PowerPoint. You see all that that big plume of smoke. That's
America. Ron, stop it now. Stop it.
It's all bull crap.
I wish he could do a Bernanke voice.
I don't know that he has a voice.
He's an animal. He's an animatronic.
I can't even come close to catching it go I'd never do it.
So the big news, of course, in finance, which I'd love to get
your take on was, was the morgue, as they call it, JP
Morgan, all of a sudden had $20 billion worth of losses of its
own $22 billion worth of losses with another billion coming. And
but here's what I found rather interesting. He was he appeared
on Meet the Press this morning. And here's the lead I think
people are going to be talking about in the week ahead. And
that is the coming clash between Washington and Wall Street. Why?
Well, you've seen the headlines this week that came from JP
Morgan Chase the nation's biggest bank, it lost $2 billion
in trading losses because of risky bets. The man at the very
top bank chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon. Very powerful figure on
Wall Street and beyond, often outspoken, no stranger to
Washington. He made the announcement about that loss on
Thursday afternoon, and after, after the markets closed on
Friday, he sat down with me in New York. Here's what was
interesting. He actually did the interview on Wednesday. And this
was before the announcement on Thursday, about the losses. So
then he had to come back and do the interview again. Now this
was a not known whether he got out and so later in the program.
Chip Gregory, what's his name? Pete CHIP. CHIP, Gregory says,
Well, you know, we did an interview on Wednesday, and then
I had him come back. So if you're being interviewed by Meet
the Press, and it's Wednesday, and you know, this is coming, I
got to presume you know, this is coming, or that it could be
covered up. Within Thursday, you have to announce it. You're
either a not going to go on Meet the Press. But you're, you know,
or you're going to mention it or something's got to happen. So is
this telling me that Jamie Dimon did not know about this until
the actual earnings call?
It's it has to be I mean, your your analysis is absolutely
correct. There's no way he would have done this. He would have
put it off reschedule. There's a million ways to get out of these
things. Especially if you're Jamie diamond. What a name.
Yeah. So yeah, he must have been completely caught off guard.
And this is being touted as sure
he's chewing out the person that booked him on the show. Oh,
yeah. And he's somebody must have known what
No, but he I mean, even that person didn't know they did not
know. But for this thing to come at the very moment when they're
talking about the Volcker Rule. And me and this is obviously a
derivatives deal that went bad. In your estimation, John C.
Dvorak, a cyclist extraordinaire. Do you think
that the fractal is kicking in? Is it time now for the
derivatives, which by some accounts is six to $700
trillion?
Is it going to the numbers unbelievable, is
it starting to unwind? Is this where it happens? Is this how it
goes is this and then we can of course, speculate if it's by
design, but what do you think? Well, no, I
would always say it was a cycle.
I will say this, I will say this. I opened up a bank account
at Chase when we just moved here and the only reason was
Christina, my daughter. She He opened a chase account in Los
Angeles against my better judgment and recommendation in,
you know when so when she comes up short, I gotta send her cash.
And they do have a pretty simple system, but you can do right
through your phone. So you know, I put some money in there,
they're really nice people, I have to say, I mean, you can't
go to the bank and just do a transaction, you got to sit down
and talk about the bank managers, kids. And of course,
I'm going to scam them to get money to buy this land. And to
build camp MoPhO, we're lucky. He called me at least three
times in the past two months to check in to see how everything
was doing, which is a cash call, essentially. And, and I'm not
putting money in there, I just have some, you know, that's just
in there to send to Christina. So my thinking is that the word
was already out that they needed to recapitalize and get money,
because that's how it works. You know, the word goes out? Hey, we
need more money, go call everybody go call make your
calls. So I think there's there's something bigger going
on here.
Wow. You might be on to something.
And it could be structural and huge. And it could be I mean,
well,
the cycle would have it that we would have an economic collapse.
There's two things that can happen in this decade. We have
which is very reminiscent of the 1890. To do to the turn of the
century. That's
what I'm looking forward to work. That's what I'm talking
about. Yes,
which is the night which would be 2013. Would right after Obama
was elected. It would be a collapse. Even if more of Romney
either one. Egg Romney can blame Obama if it happens, so So he'd
be in pretty good shape. But Obama's got nobody to blame but
himself if it happens, and it should happen in 2013. And less
with In other words, a major major major depression lasting
probably a year or two, maybe maybe longer, but it'd be you'd
never really perk back up, it just kind of flat. I mean,
that's the cycle. That's what the cycles got written all over
it. That's what's supposed to happen as what normally does
happen. It has been to work it only a couple of times. And it
could be thwarted by by huge infusion of printed crank, the
printing presses up like there's no tomorrow, not as you know,
the top Oh is a trillion, we're talking about $20 trillion needs
to be pumped into the system. So I don't think they have the guts
to do that. So that's not going to happen, we did somehow crank
things up so that you could push off the depression of 2013. It's
still going to happen in 2017, no matter what you do, and that
and if it happens in 2013, it's going to happen again in 2017 No
matter what you do, but I think next year, and I was already
getting prepared for this fallen off the cliff and all the rest
of this kind of discussion, I think is being geared up and by
the way our clip after show clip of George Soros discussing
economics and the new theories that are needed to explain what
things are while things are going I think will adequately
explains why we're gonna have a crash oh,
good turkey. Oh, goody. And what can we do to prepare for said
crash? Our economic professor, our Professor in Economics, John
C. Dvorak?
Well, every time is different, so you never know. I mean, it's
almost unpredictable. But one thing that Swedish people have
discovered is that farmland is a really good place to put your
money.
So screw Krugman, listen to the vorak the Krugman doesn't Oh,
crap farmland. Well, good. I'll have some land I can farm on it.
Yeah, just get more acreage than you normally would.
on it. You can't you can't afford it, man. I can get half
an acre.
If the economy collapses in 2013 farmland should should collapse
with it and then recover other
Oh, yeah. And I'll be rolling in the dough.
Donations don't go up.
Meanwhile, over there and get my nation east. The slaves are
being trained, that the government takes care of you.
Here's a commercial that was running on the BBC, which I
found to be the abhorrent
politics doesn't really affect us, does it? Oh, apart from the
cost of our heating and the fat content of our food. How often
our streets are cleaned the starting knife our children and
whose hand they can have in marriage. The minimum wage,
maximum wage recycling cycle lanes. First homes and the
government will take care of all of that. Wow, that continuity
stayed out. Yeah.
Oh yeah. Justification for what you do or don't do actually.
Yeah,
that's awesome. Bunch of commies over there, man.
Well, on the topic of the Brits, I I did catch some of the
testimonies. They're continuing this this testimony about the
wiretapping, or is it just
me or does Rebecca Brooks the former editor of news of the
World as she looked like a skanky hole? Or is it just me?
Wash? Don't forget, she was like, 30 or something when she
got to her first editor ship and I think he's at the sun. But he
she looks like she does look like she looks like man. It
looks like it kind of tries to put it to put it mildly. When
you see her and you she's very sharp, by the way. But when you
see her and you see how fast she moved up the ladder, you have
this and even though this is a very sexist thing to say, and
I'm gonna apologize to our female Naya dame's she looks
like a blow job artist.
She looks like the kind of woman that should be wearing a poncho.
While she does look like a hippie too. Yeah. So okay, so
she, so I was for job artists.
What I mean, I never have I ever looked at a woman and thought
that only you, John. That took you a while? Yeah. Just realize
what you said. I was too busy in the media center. All right. So
what do you got here? Rebecca Brooks.
So she got I was actually surprised by what she said here,
because I would have suspected that Rupert read Rupert was more
of the guy that really tries to commercialize things, but this
was kind of an interesting thing. This is the first clip
put just Rebecca BROOKS
Yes. Views on Europe. Presumably you are a US skeptic, correct?
Yes. Especially. And politically, you the opposition
is fairly similar to Mr. Murdoch's. In some areas, yes.
In which areas? Do they differ?
Well, we, we, we disagreed about quite a few things. In in more
in margins of it rather than the principles. So I haven't know
the environment, DNA database, immigration, top up fees. The
amount of celebrity in the paper versus serious issues columnist,
the design, the headline, size, the font size, the point, I
mean, you know, yes, we had a lot of disagreements. But in the
main, on the big issues, we had similar views. Yes. And so on
the issue amount of celebrity against serious issues. Where
did each of you stand on that? I like more celebrity and he he
wanted more serious issues.
So that caught me off guard,
you know, I'm gonna be talking to super agent Keith, when
Mickey and I get married in Amsterdam in July. He's coming
over from the UK, he you know, he knows all these people he,
inside and out. He you know, he would work with the, you know,
the money flow. He's known as the Bishop of Soho. He will give
me some real insight into what happened you watch tons of
stories. Oh, yeah, you watch.
So anyway, just as an aside, she also explains what she meant by
liking more celebrity. And I mean, this by the way, she's a
modern, I think, I believe she's a modern editor. I think they
all think this way. At this point. They don't give a crap
about educating the public in any way, shape, or form.
And why did you want more celebrities? Well, I liked I
thought the readers was quite interested in me only have to
look at the viewing figures of BBC or ITV to see that it's the
celebrity programs, the real life, the reality programs that
do so well. And I took from those figures that our readers
were quite interested in that he thought there was too much of
it, although we like to expect her.
But she's absolutely right. Can you imagine us pitching this
show to Rupert read Rupert, Rupert, we got a great idea.
We're going to deliver real news. We're gonna dissect all
this bullcrap. And we'll have no audience. Which is what we've
got. And that's our model. Rupert, don't you love it? You
can just see the guy going like, what? That's not gonna happen.
Not on my watch.
No, it's kind of pathetic. Good.
So there was a there was a pentagon briefing. Actually, I
think it was Department of Defense, although it was Panetta
and Dempsey, Dempsey, I kind of liked because he shoots his
mouth off and he in and he, it's, I liked the guy on one
hand, I think he's probably a good commander. On the other
hand, he's a little egocentric. You know, he feels like Panetta
is getting too much press. And it'd be like, Oh, well, he he
asked me to question too. So let me answer it my way. And he
messes up when he does that. So this is regarding Yemen. First
of all, did you know that we a great guy to have a drink with
Dempsey? Yeah. And in fact, atomic rod knows him and says
that he is a good guy. atomic Rod was on a nuclear sub for two
or three years or whatever. So did you know that we have sent
troops into Yemen? We have boots on the ground?
Well, I mean, we've talked about the the troops that were sent in
over a year ago. But they're all stealth.
Now we sent in new troops, but they're not different. They're
for a training mission. Oh, a training mission? So the
question comes in from good a good guy. Good question, by the
way, nice, nice dude, who's in the old gray, gray idiot who's
never gonna get asked back again, after the announcement,
the department's announcement the other day that military
trainers are being returned to Yemen. What is the prospect of
even deeper US military involvement in Yemen in coming
months, whether it be airpower or ground forces?
With regards to em question of his, his I've said time and time
again, that
count the times he says Al Qaeda and ring your bell, we will go
after Al Qaeda, wherever they are, and wherever they try to
hide. And one of the places that they clearly are located is
Yemen. We've, we've obviously, the United States, both military
and intelligence communities have have gone after Al Qaeda.
And we continue to go after Al Qaeda, the recent threat that,
that concerned all Americans about the possibility of another
effort to take down an American airliner has come out of out of
Yemen. And it's for that reason, that we will continue to, to
take all of the steps necessary to try to go after those who
would threaten our country and threaten our citizens safety of
American people. We have operations there, the Yemenis
have actually been very cooperative in the operations
that we have conducted there. And we will continue to work
with them to go after the enemies that threaten the United
States.
So this actually didn't say it all that often.
Say, Oh, it wasn't Yeah.
In Dempsey, and you'll hear Dempsey in a moment. So I find
interesting is the he brings up the well you know, we thwarted a
jet bomb attack, which is bullcrap. It's just bullcrap.
That's not true. We didn't thought anything. And it was a
apparently the Brits are not taking responsibility. Hey, it
was actually an MI six guy who was worth really? Oh, yeah. Oh,
yeah. The Brits are saying it was an MI six guy. So you know,
there's all kinds of credit that's not flowing properly, and
everyone's all pissed off about it. And it wasn't it wasn't
supposed to come out like this. And yes, it was a bad leak. But
then Dempsey, he, he says something pretty incredible,
which is exactly the opposite of what is supposed to happen.
Because you know what happens when there's all kinds of bull
crap in these countries, we have the responsibility to protect we
have an entire executive committee the President put
together when there's when we have internal strife and evil
dictators. And let's face it, Yemen has a dictatorial
government. If you can even call it a government, then we go in
when there's stuff going on. Right? Then we that's when we
have the no fly zone, we go into protect the people Correct?
You think using ground
forces in Yemen at some point? There's no consideration of
that. Our operations now are are directed with the Yemenis going
after Al Qaeda. If I if I can contribute to that part of the
question or that question as well. We you know, we've had a
decade's long relationships, security cooperation
relationship with Yemen. We suspended it during the period
of their civil unrest. And as President Hadi began to restore
constitutional order to the situation, we're we're we're
reappearing in terms of our building partner capacity. But
that makes no sense.
What makes no sense
about it. When there were civil unrest, we left
your death. Yeah. And then when they when things would calm down
again, and it was a constitutional we came came in
came right back in. Yeah. Makes doesn't make sense. If you think
of Yeah. So
then the question comes up about Syria. Hey, is there al Qaeda in
Syria?
I haven't seen any intel to suggested AQ as responsible for
those attacks, although we do know that there have been
extremist elements that are trying to make inroads in Syria.
Oh, really. So there are extremists like al Qaeda, of
course, but let's disclaim this quickly.
That is to be distinct from the opposition. I'm not tying those
together, you know, at its core,
You can just see Panetta kicking him under the table. Oh no you
dummies me I'm Al Qaeda a idiot don't just say that
she did that in front of the boss Yeah, well huh okay, I've
got the Sunday Times here.
Oh do you need the jingle?
Oh yeah, why not okay just on the Sunday
pretty busy at times just having promises trying to lay people
off this just may be the last you know, last I need
to go all value for value it'll be great. The paper will be one
page.
Big front page story on the cost of education soaring and young
adults play growing price and loans. We talked about that on
our show of course a generation hobbled by college debt huge
huge front top of the fold big picture of some girl I don't
know why she's doing this but she's looks like she's at her
restaurant counting tips. She got a bunch of money on the
counter that's about it. So that's the big story and they're
going after that Tea Party focus turns to Senate and shake up was
on the left doesn't sit mean anything to me. US made this is
kind of interesting, though. And this is the far right column top
US made jettison efforts to train Iraq. Iraq police units.
Key mission in disarray, costly prod project falters as American
influence shows a decline. In other words, which is the whole
thing is done. Yeah, we suck. below the fold. We got echoing
out of Texas a story that caught my attention because you of
course are in Texas echoing out of Texas Chinese voice of
dissent Hmm I don't know what that's about but I guess
somebody's in Texas complaining about the Chinese
What did they do as book
era rule for writers is type faster.
Yeah, more books. Right. You got to do one a year.
You got to crank them out. I saw a picture of Romney speaking to
these guys at Liberty college a couple little minor caught this
little group of minor stories missile plans where he
Londoner's about those missiles in the rooftops budget crisis in
California. No, there's
just on the missiles in London there's a awesome crackpot video
that you can find under out there in the show notes for zero
rated any shownotes.com titled the video 100,000 to die at the
London Olympics. And they have all these media messages and you
know coincidences and then of course is the Illuminati playing
card deck. The assumption here or the assertion is that a dirty
new cool go off during the Olympic Games. It's a good
crackpot video to watch if you're if you're
like a winner.
It is. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Please have a look.
And pretty much there's not much going on.
Well, then we can close it out because I got more. I got more
to say I do have
a little Olympic things as you brought it up. There's a there's
a screwball sculpture they built to the Olympic Park. I have a
clip describing it. And there's a question this is kind of an
ask Adam because it has a question that you'll see guess
the question when when you play the clip.
I'm just looking for it. Right
there at sculpture. Yeah,
here we go. London's latest landmark, an awkward odd looking
tangle of Red Steel. It looks like a Helter Skelter, but it's
actually a sculpture called the orbits. Okay, Adam, what's the
question?
It looks like a Helter Skelter. Yeah, what does that mean? Hmm.
So I remember there was some reference to this. Someone who
was second how to do it. I was reading a recent helter skelter
reference and not in not in reference to the song or to
Manson or anything. What was that? Was something weird about
it? And that's a good question. Well, the whole time that whole
thing is completely Illuminati based. Hey, you got the big
pyramids? Did you see the Olympic flame got blown out the
high priestess was I love it when that happens. Yeah. So they
had a ceremony. And actually they called her the High
Priestess. This whole thing? Yeah. Oh, yeah. The BBC. Call it
the heart that she's the High Priestess. I had it on last
week's show. I didn't play the clip. And yeah, the High
Priestess and then the big gust of wind comes and a blows out.
You see this girl like what What do I do now? And they lit it
with a parabolic mirror. It's the whole thing is it's well,
anyway 100,000 To die get out of London's my advice you know you
never know it can't hurt to get out
anything look like a Helter Skelter. Here's a couple of
things in the book anoche says they helter skelter is a
nickname for Bishopsgate tower, and the skyscraper under
construction in London. Mm hmm. That's just the name of it.
What elimination let me do helter skelter lyrics let's see
what is there a clue there may be the lyrics
of skate towers pretty
is very pretty. See the lyrics for health are Skylines
started look like Dallas. Like in it
the lyrics I'm coming down fast I want to get to the bottom I go
back to the top of the slide when I stopped turn around don't
want me to love you. I'm coming down now. I don't think there's
nothing in the lyrics.
So you said looks like a Helter Skelter. I'm referring to this.
I'm just I'm just searching man. I'm just what I do.
I gotta find it. There's nothing this is I don't know what the
guy's talking about why the guy didn't call him on it. What are
you talking about?
Meanwhile, here's some great news. Researchers at
the utilize secondly, I hate to interrupt you but you got to
look at this picture go to helter skelter in the book of
knowledge. Just a word helter there's a bunch of but the one
is just helter skelter and then go away here it is Bishop's gate
tower is what you want. You gotta go to bishops gate tower.
From the book of knowledge page. Yeah, the
book of knowledge. Should say Bishop gates tower, he should
just have a standalone entry. Almost got a picture of the
tower and
looking forward Bishop gates tower, right. Okay.
usually referred to as the pinnacle, you see that? Okay, I
click on the tower picture on the right. Okay. And of course,
that's not it. Hold on. Pick on that. Click on the other one
that where it says planning and design the disguise the scene?
Yeah. And you got the bullet. You got the tower in the
gherkin. You have r two d two. Yeah, you're right. What is
this? It's hard to it's hard to do. Good catch.
Absolutely. Right. I wonder what building that is?
It's hard to do.
Alright, researchers, you know, this is my head always goes, Oh,
researchers at the University of Michigan, they've done something
outstanding, John. They have tweaked the Kinect sensor, you
know, the Microsoft Kinect, which is that three cameras, the
eyeballs. And they have brought it into the classroom. They the
connects motion sensor can now be used to observe children, and
to pick up on whether they exhibit the symptoms of autism.
You've developed a maniacal laugh, you know?
How can you not so, so he put this in the Red Book, your kids
going to be at home spinning, of course. Because that's what kids
do. And I can just imagine, the kid puts his head on the ground
and spins around that. That's that's a good spin. Or maybe
just with arms out spinning around, your Kinect is going to
register that, and then you're gonna get a knock at the door.
And it's going to be I'm sorry, you know, we obviously we
obviously know that your kid has autism, and we need to we need
to give him some shots. If you have a Kinect, get it out of
your house. It's a very bad idea to have these things. And you
can cross this one off from the book of from the Red Book, or
what's in the red book about tuberculosis.
Oh, that's a long time ago, I'd have to be digging in the book
for a while.
World World Health Organization, extreme drug resistant strains
of Tuberculosis. Tuberculosis has now been found in 70
countries. And it's the doctors fault. What we are seeing
worldwide is the emergence of strains of the bacillus causing
tuberculosis that are resistant to most of the drugs we have
available. Director of World Health Organization stop TB
campaign is saying. Here it is. In certain cases public clinic
clinics run out of stock of the proper medicine but increasingly
private sector practitioners are to be blamed in India, which has
the highest prevalence of TB in the world. 50 to 70% of patients
referred to private doctors when they begin cough thing. They
don't want to queue in public clinics that are overwhelmed and
congested. And instead of prescribing the four drugs six
month regime recommended by the World Health Organization who
I'm sure somehow are being paid, private clinics prescribe either
too many drugs, which is a waste of money and increases toxic
toxicity, and also increases drug resistance. So, you're
taking the wrong meds slave, you got to take our meds which are
World Health Organization approved. I told you this. There
you go. You've got it. You've got it right there. And get more
nation East's to stay in on the on the medical front here Big
Pharma. prescriptions of Ritalin for attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder have quadrupled in the last 10 years.
That's a lot. Yes. I would say. Alright. I'm done. You're done.
I think let me just check and see if I'm done. Yeah, the HPV
thing. I still want to get into that. But I need more time to
formulate it as a crackpot thing, if you just want to go
out on a funny note,
let's just get summarize.
Yes, it's a very quick summary. crackpot note is that Mark
Zuckerberg that his real name is Jacob Greenberg. And there's a
mug shots of this Jacob Greenberg, who was arrested
several years ago for marijuana. And it is
a just no just to hold it right there. I have a I got a magazine
with a picture of him on the cover. And I'm looking at it and
I'm saying this guy is smoking dope. Because he's got those red
bloodshot eyes like they use though, you know, and you know
what I'm talking about? Yeah, well, he's MK Ultra. It's very
obvious that he's smoking dope. Based on his eyeballs.
Well, that fits in with Jacob Greenberg, who was arrested. And
if it really if Mark Zuckerberg which by the way is German for
sugar Mountain, which is kind of interesting as a codename for
Facebook. It's a honeypot the sugar mountain, remember $500
million investment from Inc youtell started that thing. Then
his family members would be the Rockefellers because, yeah, the
Greenberg's are related to the Rockefellers and the
Rockefellers of course own 8% of Facebook. Zero right. According
to the prospectus.
So keep your eye on Zuckerberg is
a good one. Yeah. Okay. Well, we'll follow this. Yeah. Why
not? Nobody else is.
No, that's gonna be a dog have an IPO though, I can tell you
that. If they ever get out, maybe that's why Jamie Dimon did
all this now. So they don't have to take Facebook out.
Well, they could be one of the things is if you can kind of put
the market in a stall. No one's gonna bring out an IPO. And
they've been stalling it for a while now. Looks like we'll see.
It's gonna be next week.
Yeah, well, maybe the $1 billion additional loss that's coming is
from the Facebook IPO. Maybe that's what he's saying. Maybe
it's all just code. Might be elaborate code, but
I was looking for it in a crossword puzzle.
Alright, so Ms. Mickey and I are flying to LA this afternoon. I'm
going to visit my daughter. So I will be submitting myself in the
tunnel of humiliation to the TSA rapists should be fun. And we
have an end of show clip coming up. George Soros on economics.
boring but fun to watch. John says fun to listen to. Happy
Mother's Day, everybody coming to you from the capitol of the
drone Star state here at Camp MoPhO in Austin Tay Haas. In the
morning, my name is Adam curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley, where I also say Happy
Mother's Day to all you mothers. I'm John C. Dvorak.
We'll be back again on Thursday right here on no agenda. Ever
since
the crash of 2008. There has been a widespread recognition,
both among economists and the general public, that economic
theory has failed. But there is no consensus on the extent of
that failure. Even among participants of this conference,
as a sponsor of AI net I'm delighted, because it shows that
inet is open to a wide variety of new economic thinking. But
I'm also a proponent of an alternative interpretation of
financial markets. And in that capacity, I take a different
position. I believe that the failure of is more profound than
generally recognized, it goes back to the very foundations of
economic theory. Economics tried to imitate Newton's physics. It
sought to establish universally and timelessly valid laws
governing reality. But economics is a social science and there is
a fundamental difference between natural and social sciences. As
social phenomena, have thinking participants go base their
decisions on imperfect knowledge. That is what
economics has tried to ignore. scientific methods needs an
independent criterion by which the truth or validity of
theories can be judged. Natural Phenomena constitute a such an
independent criterion. social phenomena, phenomena don't.
That's because natural phenomena consists of facts that occur
independently of what anybody says. The facts then serve as an
objective evidence by which the valid the of scientific theories
can be judged. That has enabled natural science to produce
amazing results. Social Sciences, by contrast of
thinking participants, who have a will of their own, they are
not detached observers, but engage decision makers whose
decisions greatly influence the course of events. Therefore, the
events don't constitute an independent criterion by which
the participants can decide whether their views are correct.
In the absence of an independent criterion, people have to base
their decisions not on knowledge, but on an inherently
biased and to a greater or lesser extent distorted
interpretation of reality
and Obama's.
