Adam curry, John C. Dvorak serving the fine upstanding
citizens of Gitmo nation from sea to shining sea. It's Sunday,
April 19 2009. This is no agenda coming to you from the command
line crackpot Command Center, located in the southwest
quadrant of London in Gitmo nation east. I'm Adam curry.
And I am the DOS based unit from Northern California. I'm John C.
Dvorak. Hill. Yeah, well,
that was all right. It was different.
So what's the we didn't tweet a Twitter or our fan base?
Crowd? No, we did not. Let me just do it now. No agenda is not
alive. No agenda. stream.com. Sorry about my, my tardiness. By
the way. Yeah. Yes. I've come to the harsh conclusion that my
family my wife certainly does not give a crap about the show.
Oh, well, why would she? She's making like a fortune as a
television star. At the moment. That's exactly. Just a schmuck
doing the show that you know, that's kind of nutty.
Exactly. That's my point. So you know, the the minute she's,
she's big and happened and then all of a sudden, you know,
nothing else counts?
Well, that's the way it is with celebrity couples. Oh,
maybe. Then I need to get myself a girlfriend, maybe? Is that
what celebrity couples do? I gotta I gotta adopt a child from
Africa. Isn't that
thing to do is no, you gotta let me come over there and take some
candid photos and then I can sell them we can get the money
to this show.
Oh, really? That's the way we're gonna do it.
That'll get us out again is our income. They're really
those pictures. They really don't sell for a lot not of us
in Holland. The markets too small. It's too bad. Yeah, it's
not. Not big now. But yeah, it's like it's the same two weeks
ago. I was like, I gotta go pick up the heavy stuff at at
Sainsbury's, which is like, you know, heavy stuff, bottles and
whatever crap. And I said, well, as long as I can be backed by
four, we can do it anytime before that. And you know, it's
like, she just leaves the 330 don't care. I said, Don't you
care? Yeah, I can't tell you don't care.
Yeah, what do you want for? What do you want for free?
So it's this time it was my fault. And my My apologies,
obviously.
Well, it's gonna be next Sunday. That's more challenging.
Yeah. Because you're going to be in Amsterdam for the Queen's Day
festivities. Yes. And that is that actually Sunday? The 30th.
Is that No, I
think the 38th on the 30th. So it's either 30 or so. Sure.
Thursday, Queen's Day invites a lot of ridicule from the San
Franciscans, I'm sure. But I was actually about to say about the
queen of that, you know, who knows? No, Americans know by the
way, Queen's Day, the 38 looks at to be on Thursday.
That's not actually her birthday, by the way.
Well, I was just gonna say, I don't think most Americans even
know that there's a queen.
Well, she's a part of the Uber or Uber overlords that are
controlling us so
it's easy for you to say Yeah, really?
You might you might as well make some acquaintance with her. Oh,
yeah. She roaming around on Queens day. Yeah, she
does like one she'll do an appearance somewhere at some
dorky village and all the kids come out with their with a
national color which of course is orange is about the ugliest
color you can imagine to be national.
Well, that's interesting because I have a I should bring my
hoodie that I got from Findlay University. Which one the men's
division two basketball championship this year? And I
should get get that and wear it because it's really orange.
Yeah, anything orange we'll do
an orange shirt I'll just bring my orange shirt.
It's and the slogan is ordering you Bova which means orange up
which I believe stems from the from the second world war that
was kind of the you know the resistance motto is orange will
always come up. It's it sounds kind of like a puke story that
when you say it that way, but orange is orange is the color.
The House of Orange from William of Orange. Actually was
interesting. They had a Dutch day they had a Queen's Day in
London. Yesterday, in I'm gonna say Trafalgar Square. And there
were little market stalls people selling Dutch Cheese selling
Dutch pancakes. There was some Dutch bands playing music and of
course a ton of Dutch people. And the kids actually went and
they brought back some cheese and they said it was it was
pretty cool. But the whole Dutch community in in London gets
together and celebrates a week before the actual Queen's Day
festivities in the hole in the hinterland.
Hmm. Yeah. Well, there's a lot of Dutch in the US. Maybe we
should do something like that here.
I'm sure they do. I'm sure there is a some kind of Queen's
probably in Pennsylvania. Seems to be a lot of Dutch people
there. Yeah, but
there Yeah, that's true in Dutch, Pennsylvania.
And
I mean, New York to me, it used to be in Amsterdam, and
I'm bummed about it because you know, this is how stupid is it
that you're coming this side of the of Gitmo nation. And, and
two days earlier, I traveled to the west side of Gitmo nation or
the Yeah, the west
side is this way we can keep our world perspective.
So you're gonna have to give me the world perspective from your
drunken slumber in Amsterdam.
I don't drink. So the
problem. The problem is not so much Sunday, the problem is
going to be Thursday. That's the problem because that's Queen's
Day itself. So I think we do it on Friday. And then we can
either do a show on Sunday, we could move that up one day to
Monday when you come back. I have that somewhere written
down. Actually. I'm
coming back in on Saturday. The other week after though.
Oh, the Saturday after Queen's Day. Yeah. Then we'll figure it
out.
Won't we? Yeah, I'm a Saturday to Saturday trip. Yeah.
But we'll have a regular we'll have a regular Thursday this
coming Thursday.
And I'm going to miniature world. Maduro Damn, whatever
is that? Is that all set up? Are you good? Do you got your your
tickets? Boy, oh, boy, John. You're gonna enjoy a little
Maduro. Dom my friend.
Well, I saw it once on a travel thing. Recently, like about a
year ago and I ended when I was in Amsterdam, I guess it was two
years ago because I was in Amsterdam a couple years ago and
the I wanted to go there but it was like it's inconvenient if
you just have a Eurail pass because I guess it's out in the
middle of nowhere. And so I never made it there. But I've
always wanted to go there because when I saw this this
this travel I said it's actually I think it's mostly for kids.
But it reminds me of of a grand version of what's in Victoria BC
and I would recommend this to people by the way as a tourist
attraction. They have a miniature world in Victoria BC
and it's but it's indoors and as a museum of this one's outside
was your damn Yeah, no, I know the difference. I saw the I
mean, that's what drew me to it because it looks like a
photographer's dream come true for just weird pictures. And
yeah, cuz you in this one you get to walk right through like
the cities you know, and they're all miniature. You look like a
monster. And but the one Yeah, that's
that's how it was sold to me as a kid to John. It's gonna be
really cool kids. You'll be like a monster. Yeah.
Yeah. Excellent. Do you think it's not worth going to his
site? No, I definitely think you should go I think that's a fine
idea. Take many many pictures and Twitter them while you're at
it.
And so anyway, this I do recommend the this little dis
Museum of miniatures at in Victoria, British Columbia, it's
actually worth going to you onto it a couple times.
So the Dutch are in our in the picture momentarily. As former
mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani is outraged at the Dutch. No,
yeah, says a program we didn't talk about this, I think was on
a week and a half or two weeks ago called Devil's Advocate
direct translation of the show title. And the devil's advocate
is essentially looking at big issues from you know, the side
of the devil and then making decisions in a mock court. And
the the issue at hand was,
well, where's the show? Where's the show Air and Air
is only in the Netherlands? Of course. Okay. The issue at hand
was Was there enough proof that Osama bin Laden was behind the
911 attack in attacks in New York and, and Washington. And so
they know this is a live jury and they and they have, you
know, prosecutors and defense etc. But it's a mock trial,
obviously, and the jury which was made up of regular Dutch
folks at NAB, not enough evidence, and Giuliani is
outraged.
Whereas, of course, did Bin Laden never come out and say he
did it?
Well, not even that but the FBI does not have him listed on
their 10 most wanted list for or any wanted list for the 911
attacks. They have him on the list for being An accomplice in
the world Trend Trade Center bombing. But they the FBI said
repeatedly and this has been underreported, of course, but
it's quite official. FBI says, you know, we can't put him on
the 10 Most Wanted list because there's no proof that he did it.
So then why is Giuliani all
bent out of shape? Because he's a part of the game. We have to
believe. But what's
the point of being bent out of shape at all? Was it just like,
let it slide? Does he have to be?
Sorry? Well, no. I'm sorry, it
was like the right hands, you know, you
know, and I have buttons. That's the whole problem. It's just I
have everything all set up now in
the big giant buttons that you can pound at the drop of a hat.
Big enough, it's just like they're in a new order. So the
one I wanted was nothing to see. Look at that. I got a couple
more that were sent to me. So that's why I know I got a nice
little controller man I got a keypad and with with colored
buttons, and corresponding on my screen are the drops in jingles
with colors and position, so I should be able to do it. So now
Giuliani I have to translate backwards now. Oh, he's saying
this is not only is this you have to
wait, wait, do you have to translate backwards? Because
it's a show about the devil and everything goes backwards?
Yes. It's fun to smoke marijuana? No, it's because it's
in Dutch. And of course, Giuliani responded in English,
I'm sure. So now I'm translating back into something that might
sound like him. It's a bizarre and unfounded judgment. And I
think that it will not mean much to most sane people thinking
except for sane, sane thinking people, except for those of
course who love conspiracy theories.
Well, that's us. Yeah, exactly.
So we love it. When you do that, Rudy. We love it. Of course, the
EU claims now that there were over 500 terrorist preparation
attacks in 2008, that they thwarted 500 of them, count
them.
If that was true, they'd be in the news more, of course, is
total crap. Total total crap. And where are the arrests?
Which arrests? Well, there's no arrests.
Well, there's no arrest. How would they wait, me? Let me get
this straight. You, you there's a terrorist plot afoot. You
figure it out. And then you stop it. And they don't arrest
anybody. And then you don't arrest anybody.
You might arrest people. But you know, they were trying to keep
cool and calm and not to alert to
before they affect when they had all the sweeps here in the
United States. They were arresting people left and right
and making a big scene about it. They arrested some guy used to
work for Intel up in Oregon. And then you know, because he went
and visited, you know, some madrasa or something like that.
And then they arrested those guys up in New England. They got
some guys in Virginia, and they've arrested some people in
the middle of the State of California for I don't know what
they they were just plotting. They weren't even putting
anything in play. And they were arrested. It was a big deal. So
what changed that made us stop publicizing the arrest if this
is true, well, I don't think what's the logic here? I'm not
getting it. Well, the logic is the news media just dropping the
ball and they refuse to report what they're told to report. So
what you're saying,
No, I think it's a combination. The on top of everything. This
is an EU report coming out of the European Union, and they
just want to say, hey, we're doing a good job. And so you
scratch your head and say 500 And you know, I heard of maybe
two, one of which is still responsible for us not being
allowed to carry more than 100 milliliters of liquids on the
plane because these guys were supposed to be blowing them up
with liquids. No, it's it's it's just the part of the show. I
mean, as as Simon Cowell continues to produce the show
world that we live in that we believe is reality. Sometimes he
lets it slip, you know, it's it's a hard job. It's not easy
producing this big show.
If there are 500 incidents that should have been reported.
Well, then the media is lame.
Well, somebody's lameness is bogus. You can't say there's 500
Things we thwarted and and they don't tell us what they are when
they were who did them or anything in between. What kind
of thing is that? What is that bowl? Well, they are the people
who who get who claim this.
They categorize the well, there's the EU, eu themselves,
let me see if I can find it. They, they categorized these 500
thing was 515 total. So this is euro poll. They said they
counted a total of 515 terrorist attacks carried out or planned
in the union in 2008.
This is like jobs saved, yes.
saved or created or saved. The threat to EU member states of
Islamist as well as ethno nationalist and separatist
terrorism remains high.
Deputy Director of Europa now included the separatist
terrorist. Yeah, does that well first
of all, is ethno nationalist ethno. So that could be shit
that would be me here I guess. Am I not an ethno terrorist? I'm
sorry? nationalist? Yeah What is that a national an ethnos? I
can't even say it. I think
what it means is that you are somebody that's in a within a
region that would like to split off into two countries like
Canadians Quebec qua and probably the Irish.
So despite the dominance of nationalist and separatist
groups in the EU, above also the Basques. How about the
Armenians? Maybe, yeah, Mr. Salamanca said Islamist
terrorism considered to be the greatest threat at the global
level. Can you give me what these guys are saying? Mean?
Please just just say Arabs just get them all in there. And while
you're at it, as major considering Europe with Islamist
terrorist cells remaining active within within the EU, one attack
by this type of group was perpetrated in 2008. With only
the terrorists dying at a restaurant in Britain when the
bomb exploded too early. I don't even know about that one. You
think you would.
And he died in a restaurant many
other attempts were foiled. Citing examples in Germany and
Italy, and 187 arrests in France, Britain and Spain. 187
arrests were worth these arrests. Amazing. Yeah. You
think that they'd be getting some publicity here?
That's amazing.
I mean, they were getting publicity for every two bit
arrested they were making a few years ago now. Right now we hear
nothing. I guess it was still on the top of the list. Why is it
being suppressed that this is true? I am
it's just not true, then. I'll tell you what is getting out of
control. Because every day there's a new report about
border patrol abuse within the United States.
Because you see, the video we have on the blog, was it about
the pastor was about the guy that would get like 100 miles
inland Border Patrol, you know, they feel that there's a
that's that happens in all the cases. But there's two cases
that I saw in the past few days. One was a pastor who was beaten
on the head beaten a pastor, and the other one was a guy and he's
filming the whole thing and the Border Patrol agent pulls out a
pair of nunchucks Yeah, can you believe that? He like flashes
his nunchucks at the guy and then the guy you know he's like
I've got the Constitution in my knapsack and was wrong guy to
flashing nunchucks at you threatened me by brandishing a
weapon man just goes on and on and on and on what was the one
that you had on the on the blog
to go look at it it's one among many but this this just keeps
the guy you know reading them the riot act
it just keeps on happening though. This is completely
unconstitutional and illegal
Ken where is the lawyers where are the lawyers that are so you
know they're adapted
the lawyers are running the White House my friend
and why is the White House not doing so this is idiotic you
know who's telling these guys to go out and do this stuff? And
then of course we have this Nepali Katana wherever you
whoever whatever name is yeah she's being targeted by the
right wing talk show people as a as a as a bad person trying to
get her fired because she's you know made it so that if you have
any right wing ideology in other words if you believe anything I
have a huge laundry list from being anti abortion to thinking
Ron Paul's a good guy. You are you know up for being on the
terrorist watch list. Yeah,
now they're trying to downplay that here and there but this
this is what gets me is this like everyone people push back
on something okay, don't worry, we'll change that. We'll fix
that for you. And then nothing changes nothing gets fixed and
it just keeps on moving. And when you know it's like do you
even hear about the deficit anymore? I mean, that that's
like you just just don't You're here about this stuff anymore.
Just it's news for about a week and then it goes away and and
we're all just happy little suckers
Yeah, well, that's just the way it goes.
We got a nice review once again. Oh, yeah. For who? I think his
name is James. Either it's cool or cola? I'm not sure. And he
actually a quite a thoughtful review. Any the title of the
blog post is the real Daily Show, not more of the same.
Which I thought was quite To complement their and it goes in
to until it's really comparison between the Daily Show and no
agenda and of course otherwise why bother with reading the
review? We come out on top smelling like a rose but no it's
good he he recalls our discussion about the pirates and
you know says you know but of course we always drop in the
real news about Madonna adopting a baby yeah it's good I was it
was very very nice
yeah the one that we have by the way the the video we have as is
the nunchucks
one it is the nunchucks one yeah yeah
there's a couple others I'd like to get on here too there these
guys are you know people I realized you know that II 71
phone I have as a couple of interesting features. And it
does seem to have a limitless recording capability told
you Yeah, just as long as you got
started recording and you dropped a thing in your in your
vest pie or your pocket in your shirt because the thing is so
light is not even doesn't even drag your shirt down. And you
can pretty much record anything you know
when I saw on the plane the in flight magazine on EasyJet when
we came back from Portugal and of course I wasn't one of the
selected flights which had this item available was a pen you put
the pen in your pocket and it's actually a miniature camera and
so you can pretty much aim at angle it because the the lens is
right on the clip there right above the clip and it records it
I think there's a two meg memory chip inside and then you just
unscrew the backing and plug it right into USB and you can drag
the video probably more like two gig yeah two gig I'm sorry I
need that that's really cool.
That would be cool for you especially since you're you know
yeah but I
You mean because I stand up for my rights? Because I don't take
shit from people I'm confrontational you sound like a
border patrol agent Mr. Dvorak
maybe. I think the you know, I think I've decided that what
we've got from the Apollo on Aton or whatever the heck
Napoletana I don't know
so i think is that when she gave us the list there of this you
know you can't be anti abortion you can't care about what
Mexicans crossing the border and you can't you can't NAFTA you
can't
use Linux with a black screen with white prompt.
You can't do all these different things that is that that was not
a suggest that was not not meant for anybody but it was marching
orders for the public.
Well, and there's a lot of that and and this is probably a good
time to get into the one bit of agenda we have for today's no
agenda. Was it your son who sent that email that you forwarded to
me about your pirates? Now? Which son is this?
Yeah, he says yes. was followed up with a bunch of other stuff.
He said Which son is this? This wasn't this wasn't Eric. No, no,
this is John. He's the one at Evergreen. Well, how old is John
22 I think you think you got so many kids. You don't know I
don't care. I can I can I know what year he was. I know the
year everyone was born because they each one has, like Eric
has, you know, okay,
John. Let's go. How old is Eric?
Eric is what he was born in. 77. How old is he? Come
on. Don't you can't use it doesn't roll off your tongue.
But three, two, I guess. 32 Okay,
and then we have John Jr.
who is not Junior because you got a different middle name. Oh,
okay. And he's, he was born. He was born in 85. So he's 20 She's
24 He's gonna be 24 this year. He's 23 Lottie Dottie da dee da
dee da no agenda. I'm so big. You better right just remember
the tease you in those buttons. You hit the wrong one.
No, I like that one.
I just remember the Lottie Dottie Dhawan yeah yeah, I just
remember that years ever born I don't sit around calculating Oh
God now they're this age you know I don't care.
So he sent a very thoughtful email about the pirate situation
and which really is a media story more than anything but
there was something because I'm conclusions to doing it. Wait a
minute. Wait a minute. Wait. I have
watched the machine hung it up.
It reads John C. Dvorak during the broadcast have no agenda.
Please leave your mystery caller details at the sound of the
tone.
Oh, you had that ready to go? Oh, yeah. I was ready for you.
Guy always calls Who the hell is probably my wife calling your
phone just to mess up the show some more. Don't wear them. Did
you hang him up?
Yeah, yeah. Give him a call his number in London, and some joker
calling about the show.
No, you're kidding me? No. Who was it? It's probably the
guy who did the jingle.
And he has your home phone number. He wanted to get to get
the jingle on like, quick. Let me call every call. That's
funny. That's funny.
All right, don't do that again. Damn it, guys. Clint. I want to
I have somebody call me up. You know, that's got my number. And
they I've had more than a few calls. There's not a lot. I
mean, I get called. I call them all crank calls. About maybe
twice a year. It's not like it's not like a nuisance, but it's
usually some drunk. You know, teenager, I swear to God, it's
like always like it. It's you know, it's like they're back
East. And so it's like, two in the morning and a guy dies or
act at Holland this. Dogs rules. And then they want to chat, but
they have nothing to talk about. I've always told people you
know, if you're going to go to if you like going to a concert,
a big thing is to get the Backstage Pass. Yeah. And you go
back there, you don't have anything in common with any of
these people.
In fact, you're in the way all the time. You're in the way
you're in the way backstage access all areas. Oh, yeah,
that's what you want, baby. That's, that's what you need. If
you want to be with incredible kids,
I will say this, if you can get a backstage pass and get back
there. You want to I mean, there's only one reason and one
reason alone to do it is there's usually a good buffet in cold
tracks, area old
cuts, cold cuts, cold cuts are great.
And potato salad.
That is truly the the best part of the backstage experience. And
then if you got some, you know, some band that's, you know, or
artists that is that is up there. And this is really rockin
then, you know, they always have a rider with all kinds of crazy
shit. So you'll have, you know, only a specific type of evianne
or tons of toilet paper. Or just no or no brown m&ms.
Something like that. So anyway, the it's just not worth the
trouble.
So let's, let's get back to your son John's. Oh, here's someone
sent me the link for the pen cam. That thing is cool. Send it
to me now Skype it to you right now. So So he, the way I read
his email, which is too is too lengthy to read on on the show,
is this is really like the perfect storm of a story.
Because on the one hand, it it conditions the masses to think
yeah, let's go kill those bastards. Damn pirates, Johnny
Depp on the high seas, let's go kill him back. And on the other
hand, it gives people some people, some selected people,
the thinking of a you know, we're not safe. We need more
spending on anti terrorism. And then of course, you have other
people who are saying, Oh, poor pirates. We're screwing. It's
our fault, which is kind of what I said last time. And I think I
might have to revisit after after reading the email, I have
to revisit my opinion.
But there's Yeah, he's basically summarized as saying the whole
thing is just a
fractal. It's the well, it's like the perfect media storm,
isn't it? Yeah. And
it's just a bunch of you know, it's just to get people and you
also gets he gets the fractal thing doesn't work? Yeah, it
does. I don't think so. It's too hard to hear it.
Well, if you hear it twice, then it makes sense. Yeah. But
then you explain you're asking too much of an audience. And
you're making demands on the audience.
Right. Right, we need a new one.
So yeah, he believes it's a fractal of the of the of the
left liberal agenda, to always, you know, break it down to these
people are not doing anything more than what we do, which is,
you know, we're a bunch of criminals as a as a culture,
which is exactly what I did on the last show, by the way, is
exactly exactly how I categorized it. Exactly. The
message I, I sent, and I have to say, I got to think about it
now.
Right? Yeah. Well, as soon as you read that, I was thinking to
us you know, that's interesting. Yeah. It's it's he's very
analytical. He you know, what it is, is he and a bunch of this
generation, not all of them, but a lot of them. They read these,
these specific popular philosophers of the era, namely
Lacan, and mainly as interpreted by this character names zyk,
whose hard names hard to pronounce and Zig writes, and
he's actually got a lot of YouTube videos. He's
fascinating. Yes, it's ZISCK something like that.
Zizek like the like the great Carnac
and his stuff is quite good but he's extremely the politics are
very unique zyk I don't know maybe somebody else so the thing
that is kind of glad vas ZISE K
and he's one of the philosophers of our era
well no lecan Is INSS IK is his is his his mouthpiece. I mean,
he's nobody can understand this guy Lacan
says is it Sizzix speaks for lecan Yeah, that's what I need.
I need someone to speak for me.
You do. Now the way I see it, is it but the funny thing is if you
start listening to zyk he's actually got his thoughts are so
unique and interesting that it's an extremely blunt about what's
going on. That is in and of himself. It's fascinating. The
lecan part is actually kind of tedious. So anyway, that's kind
of where we're at. This is a fractal
I don't have to talk anymore. Mr. roboto.me got though.
I like that guy. So anyway, yeah, no, that's yeah, we have
to rethink some of the stuff I'm going to try to get him to he's
once I said, I'd like to run this on the blog, this long
letter he sent right because not a bad essay. It's kind of
rambling. And I just added a little bit to tighten it up he
says and then he sends me another note that you didn't get
worse as well. You know, I think this is more of a dumb thing
about the media like to redo it and talk about how today's media
is a bunch of you know, and then he goes into criticizing the 140
character Twitter Well, it was distribution
I did see that well let's just stop for a second because the
latest news because there is something going on here and I
agree that partially it's the news loves this because it's
almost like it's got all the elements you know, it has some
romance kind of mystique. You know, the whole pirate vibe is
just fantastic. pirate movies, except if it stars Gina Davis
are, you know, blockbusters? It's the days of Errol Flynn's
the romanticism yet we got to get these fuckers. And so I
think the news is the news, the media keeps dredging up stuff.
But at the same time, there is actual stuff happening. They've
read this just today, a Belgian ship now has been nabbed by the
pirates. Which of course was not hard because they ran out of
coal. Pirates captured Belgian ship and we're taking to the
coast of Somalia after the vessel was reported missing
early Saturday. Now a lot of these reports, by the way, are
coming out of the UN and NATO. So that's why I'm always highly
suspicious. But yeah, so these these these ships that are being
captured are five 600 miles from the coast and it seems a little,
you know, this is why they talk about the mothership and
everything that there's got to be something more behind this
than just poor fishermen.
Yeah, well, poor fisherman is like the joke of it. And here's
the thing that gets me why or why did we grab one of the head
pirates and drag him to New York City Of all places to put him on
trial in Ewa in you know, in New York?
Well, not just that. France handed to the pirates over to
Kenya. I don't know why they would be handed over to Kenya.
And what's going on with these guys being used as like,
like trading like mid like Monopoly pieces. You can have
one player and have a pirate a mid. They have 11 Somali pirates
that they seize the naval raid this week. Did you hear about
it? All I hear about is our hero.
No, or our hero. The guy that was that was there when they
shot everybody standing around? Yeah, yeah. Because they had
sharpshooters on board. Yeah, well, they, I guess so we had to
I had to, by the way, give him a call. Because I was ridiculing
the sharpshooters being on board when of course, that's about 10
people pointed out with emails. They were parachuted in from a
nearby location. I don't know what
how does that work? Just parachute onto the ship. You're
not like a like a target?
I guess I guess they parachuted onto the ship. I mean, these
guys are Navy SEALs, so they can do it. I mean, Navy SEALs are
obviously, you know, adept at everything. Could
it be that could it? Is it possible, John, that this is
just being used as a ruse to build up an incredible naval
force in the region?
I don't think we can afford that. Yes, we
can. In fact, yes, we can. We can't afford it.
We need a jingle that says yes, we can. Yeah. This is basically
it's a fractal of Obama's yes we can
hear that's that's To be like, has to be different somehow
well give us the why we're in the world. I'm kind of wanting
you to do this. Can you play that? That that little intro
that that guy did that you're running on the stream? Oh, yeah,
sure.

I'll play the I'll play the other one before we're done with
the show. Yeah, that's
the typical thing. We're that we're the announcement is longer
than his show. It's exactly right now, I think he did a
pretty good job, but
I'm sorry.
I do think he said light Barry. Oh, no.
No. Did you say Liberia? No, I think he did tell me that. And
so I don't want to go back and listen to it.
Parker. I think they go phoned the.
And now back to real. Well, some some just fantastic Real News,
John, that I almost can't believe how fortunate we are to
be able to have a mainstream media that discusses these very
important stories. And I have one that's trending that I
guarantee you will be top of the news.
The Twitter trending I like I like it's picking up on the
trending stories right
here's a trending well unfortunately, it's real news is
trending real news story. The Twitter enabled cat flap the
white the Twitter enabled cat flap. So this you're gonna see
this everywhere. This guy had like stray cats coming into his
house. And he wanted to catch him. So he set this thing up his
own. His own cats have RFID tags chips embedded in it's a very
new world order type thing. That's why I'm sure it's gonna
get picked up. So when they come up to the cat flap, the RFID
tag, identifies then takes a twit pic and posted on Twitter
as they're coming through the cat flap. And if they have the
wrong RFID chip or no chip, then the door stays locked. But still
a twit pic is taken and posted to Twitter. This is definitely
something you will be hearing about over and over again.
Oh brother. So yeah, well Twitter's become the big news
thing. You know now they Oprah I guess she joined Twitter and she
got 250,000 followers like instantly that which I surprised
is that low?
There was wasn't I think wasn't Ashton Kutcher? Didn't he send
the first Oprah Twitter Say that again? I gotta work on the
buttons.
So I'm looking at the Oh, you're gonna continue with Real News.
Is there anything else?
Well, I was just gonna say that. I think Twitter is real news.
Yeah, but it is real, real news.
Yeah, ya know something about it.
I mean, right now, I'm gonna see the trending topics on Twitter.
Number one, what do you guess? Oprah? No, no, Oprah is about
number eight. Now I don't know what pirates? No, it's still
Susan Boyle. Oh, please. This is how shallow we are as a human
race. Then,
here before that would be a quickie. It's interesting.
There's Ascot for a sought 400 See what's cool about this is
you see those trends right and then you do a search on that
trend. And then I can see let's just say English and Dutch
actually quite close. This is so this these little pockets of
people who just are twittering like crazy and they use a
hashtag and then it shows up as a trend half the time you don't
know what the hell it's about. But yeah, Easter is still high
FA Cup Jesus Earth Day. a pussycat Island.
That sounds interesting.
Let's see what's happening in the world of pussycat Island
It's almost noon here. It's time for Mojito. Does anyone need
one? Bell is that so there must be some people hanging out in
pussycat Island. Okay, quite boring actually. I guess there's
nothing to that Twitter.
So talking back to let's say memes because we're talking
about Twitter. I wanted to before we left the pirate topic,
I had to go to the printer and because I printed something out
because I thought it was funny. I was looking at the news
rundown on Google News because they have you know, all these
redundant stories. So I looked up Abdul Wally muse who is the
pirate that we dragged over to New York City okay. And it's
interesting that they I'm just looking at here I'm just gonna
read just a variety of stories away and they're all They're not
all like, you know, AP stories, but they all say the following
19 year old Abdo Wally moose, or moose believed to be the
ringleader of the form. And then just the ringleader next one
next story from congu.com The power was never his 19 year old
overwhelming moose believed to be the ringleader here's one
this
isn't that but that in itself the ringleader it it yeah no
wait on what? Amen This is like a ring of pirates now. This is
your your your shit.
Here's the Times online in the UK. Do all the moose 19 Instead
of saying 19 year old I'll do all the moose. I'll do all the
moose this how they changed it. Yeah. 19 is believed to be
the ringleader. Oh man, how lame.
So it's like there ya know, the ring leader? It's like you know,
it's like a ring. It's a rule. So
what do we know about these guys? Do we know anything? Is
anyone doing any report? I mean, why are we not revolting? You
know you shouldn't revolt against bankers you should
revolt against your news media. That's what you should revolt
against if I guess we're doing it already but not buying your
stupid lame empty as newspapers and watching your stupid lame b
s television news DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE di already now
because yeah, we got to go through this shit John we got
again we're not even halfway through the carwash. There's no
light at the end of the tunnel yet but I think we have to go
through this. We got to go through the real nasty.
So there's one here I just noticed this is the this was on
all this was funny. This is the news carrier that is getting
busted all headline news. I don't know where they got this
one from. But it says Abdul Ali moose who will be brought to New
York. He's in Kenya under the custody of American authorities.
Oh is another another connection connection.
Yeah. Why? Why Kenya?
I have no idea.
I'm telling you, John, is Kenya poised it? Where's Kenya on the
map?
I mean, we gotta go in the middle of the country. Is it
kind of truly located but is it
centrally located in beautiful downtown Africa? Kenya is the
place for you to visit. Is it is it near the Somalis on the
coast, but is it the border on Somalia?
I don't look on the map. All I know is it's a shithole. I we
were in Nairobi at the airport. Wait a minute.
I'm come come to Kenya, John C. Dvorak says it's a shithole. So
that's your endorsement right
there. So you were in the airport. And the military is in
the airport, shaking down the tourists that are passing
through
literally like taking their shit away from him.
Yeah, and stealing their money.
Now Kenya is on the on the opposite coast, I think.
No, no, no, it's over on the east kind of in the Northeast.
on the East Coast. Right. Yeah.
Right. So it borders on Somalia. So you have to go to Somalia is
on the coast that has kind of like that hook going up. And
then you have Ethiopia, another fine place to visit. And we have
and Kenya. So maybe Kenya is staging a takeover with help of
because the Somalia is a mess. So maybe that's what this is
about. Maybe that's why they're being sent to Kenya then
probably in cahoots.
Well, let's look at this map here.
Look at it, man. I mean, Ethiopia has got to be easy.
Those guys will do anything for
you does have some Portsmouth Nairobi is where I was. See what
I just did. By the way, I would not recommend anyone going there
for any reason. Unless you're escorted by the military. But of
course you know, if you look at where it's strategically
located, Yeah, so Somalia has a nice flap of land which board
which is across the water from Saudi Arabia.
I mean, if you're taking Well, yeah, because it flips around.
If you're taking a look at Somalia, and you want to say to
yourself, What could I
do? What can we do with the country? Come to Somalia, you
know, the place that used to be a shithole? Well, we've changed
all that.
I mean, it's got a shoreline that goes on forever.
It's beautiful. Let me zoom in on Google Earth when we take a
look at the at our new beachfront property. Where would
you like to have our house John since
we had trouble in the past? No, no, no. And that's where they
were they ran Clinton you know, he was you know, send some
troops there and then they butchered them and then we all
we we ran like, you know, kids out of there instead of bombing
the place. And so that place is kind of, obviously out of
control. And I guess, you know, a lot of the pirates are using
it as I don't know what they're gonna do. They're gonna hit what
maybe they incited a war. I'm just thinking in some sort of
global overlord.
Yes, kinda they and they talk. Yes, they will. We
don't know who they are what you do, but I don't of course I am.
Yeah, so I said. They decide okay, we're going to be using
kids. In other words we're doing is we have Americans in Kenya in
the first place is because we got our people our economic
hitmen already. They're
working, working the land stealing the minerals to get
the to get them to go to war with Somalia.
I really, if you look at how surrounded everything is because
of course, you know, we've got we've got a rack, which is we're
surrounding Saudi Arabia, essentially, what else is on the
other coast? What else can we look for in the news? Eritrea.
Deep, Djibouti, Djibouti, the helis Djibouti as a country.
And in a way, yo, Eritrea used to be called something else.
There's so much of your lane
here, they changed all those names just to confuse us.
Well, yeah, that's working gang can't keep up. I mean, it's
like, we don't look at the African map that much as it is,
and most people, especially in the United States. Seriously,
it's unbelievable.
So we should be on the lookout for weird stuff coming out of
Kenya, because you're right, our people are there already.
They're probably going to take over running of Somalia. And
then of course, we have it's just a lot, you know,
what we're, you know, we have to do it in such a way we,
obviously we don't want to get involved in Somalia, you know,
as a as a USA, because that's not going to fly. I mean, we
couldn't do it before. We have to we have to incite some sort
of a situation. So, okay. Djibouti. Jay, how's your
Djibouti going?
Hey, did you check the Djibouti on that girl man?
How did that one get by major booty is rockin? Well, here's a
must say, you know, Djibouti is a really small country with with
a capital Djibouti. Yeah, you know, so. So the mailing address
would be Djibouti Djibouti
Djibouti, Djibouti. I got excuse me, John, I gotta make a
Djibouti call. I'll be right back.
It seems to me that since where it's located, and the rest of it
is going to be sitting on some oil fields.
Oh, of course of this. Of course. There's something
important there.
Yes, we're so small. Let me just type into Google G booty b o u
t. I
do that and I'll take us a little bit away words towards
oil field towards Israel because there is some interesting stuff
coming up. The US is going to participate in a missile shield
war game exercise with Israel. Yeah, great. Well, you know what
that's about that's about Iran.
Yeah, yeah. Just to saber.
saber rattling we're looking at this pirate stuff. Think about a
John why wouldn't we want to have a whole bunch of destroyers
and of course its NATO forces. The Dutch are sending a ship.
But the Belgians their only ship of course, got captured. Shit
happens.
The one running on coal.
There was no wind. They were in iron and iron. They were able to
get him out I think it's the buildup of force there. I think
they're just using this and they're probably paying some
some ze guys formerly known as Blackwater, or maybe three
mountain tops. Obama's boys from Chicago or whatever it was 310
tops. What was the name of the new Blackwater there? KIM Yeah,
I can't remember the name of said Say it's maybe like Prince
changing his name.
You get you get these pirates out there five 600 miles from
the Coast can't find a mothership and you got to think
it might be Navy SEALs or some other consultant type guys
helping out.
Yeah, well, anyway, he could have said they were Navy SEALs
they may not have been who knows and we don't get to facts and
nobody's the military is not talking to anybody and there's
nobody inside on the ship's is gonna say anything they're
fairly good at being quiet. The so here's a background on
Djibouti Djibouti the French territory of the Fars and the
East SOS became Djibouti in 1977. Hassan Goulette app to
Dawn installed in authoritarian one party state, and proceeded
to serve as president until 1999. unrest among the Fars
minority during the 1990s led to a civil war G. That's unusual in
Africa. That ended in 2001, following the conclusion of a
peace accord between the far rebels and the East Side
dominated government. This is from the CIA effect book.
Yeah. Take that with a grain of salt. No, I
think this you know, the CIA Factbook is actually pretty
decent.
Yeah, when it comes to the script,
well, I'm Yeah, but it's still the information is good.
Here's one for you. US Bank. JP Morgan Chase, has said to the
Dutch Rights Museum, John, you can maybe still make it before
it's gone. said that, hey, we really liked that Expo that
you've got up there. But that one painting the bend in the
gentleman's canal, that's the translated title, the boss from
the head of craft, painted by Rembrandt and 1672. We're gonna
have to take that away from you, because the guy who, whose
collection it belongs to had put it up as collateral for a $50
million loan. He then sold the painting to the Reich's Museum,
and now JPMorgan Chase is saying, we had a lien against
it. We're coming to take it from you.
Right, that's interesting when the guy seen that painting, by
the way, because they went to the Reich's museum beautiful
painting. Yeah, well, there's a lot of good that's a nice museum
which has been completely screwed. It's it's, you know,
that half of it's been closed for two years for you know, some
quick repairs that we're going to do that's pretty outrageous.
The bank is just going to take it right out of the museum.
Sorry, it's ours.
I think they should I think the country Holland should
nationalize the painting and tell the bank the screw itself.
You know, that's, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.
What is all this this this talk of nationalizing news.
I've only just started this is only starting to crop up about
nationalizing news. I no idea what it means what of
Okay, so what I understand is, it wouldn't be a true
nationalization, but it's really the next step in in kind of the
Ministry of Truth, Orwellian feel to what that what seems to
be happening. The first step is, there would be no corporate
taxes on news media, because, you know, they're all dying,
right, that everyone's going down the tubes. And so, you
know, I'm not quite sure what the what the steps are after
that, we will make it I really don't know. But I keep seeing
this nationalizing the news media and I'm thinking this is
really really really bad that it's even being discussed in
this manner.
I haven't been able to catch up to it.
Well, that kind of kills that topic doesn't
catch up to it. I've been seeing it crop up as a meme. You know,
nationalize the news nationalized the news and I but
I'm not seeing any what this what what anybody's talking
about. I have no idea. I mean, if they want to, like give the
guys a tax break, what do they need a tax break for? They're
losing their ass. That's a tax break in and of itself. They're
not paying any taxes. Well, so how does that make any sense if
you're losing a million dollars a week at the San Francisco
Chronicle? What's your tax?
Yeah, that's a good point.
So there was a you know, so there is no tax break when
you're broke? Maybe
it's a setup for for a bailout?
Well, I think there that's a possibility but what kind of a
bailout would these guys expect or want and what good will it do
them? Well, they're going down the tubes because their product
sucks.
But that didn't stop us from giving General Motors money.
Well, yeah, but they're gonna still go bankrupt. Well, that's
the here's what the dire need all this isn't fuel, keep
pointing it out. Why are we giving them money when they're
just gonna go bankrupt anyway, say here's money, money, money,
money. Well, bankrupt. psych ward isn't where would you just
give all this money for? You're gonna have to go bankrupt
General Motors. If we if we were thinking about this, clearly, we
had to realize that at some point, the real problem here
with General Motors going bankrupt is obviously these old
farts. Well, not not necessarily that some of them are These old
guy, these retirees from General Motors who, who bought into the
proposal that look, you worked for us for 2530 years, and we
give you a, you can be able to just give you money for the rest
of your life until you drop dead. And so there's 1000s and
1000s and 1000s of these people, and it's caught and something
like, I think something on the price of this, like two or $300,
a car or some outrageous amount of money goes into paying, I
mean, in terms of the price you'd pay for American American
car is really paying the welfare for these retirees, which of
course, Americans not being a generous sort, would rather buy
a Honda or a Toyota for less money, and it's a better car and
on top of it. So you have this situation where what can we do
to be more competitive? Well, we've got to get out from under
this ridiculous pension.
But why are we having Why are we having this conversation now
after we already spent 20 billion on them fully, everyone
was aware that it wasn't going to work. Everyone's like
laughing about this. And now that it's happened now General
Motors is saying, Yeah, we're gonna go bankrupt. And that was
really just how are we going to do it? When are we going to do
it? Why do we have we become so numb to the numbers that they
don't matter anymore? What? What is going on?
I wonder about that myself about why if we knew, I mean, maybe we
didn't, maybe we'll have somebody who actually didn't
know that this was going to have to happen. I think or maybe
they're just trying to stall because here's what the real
problem is, you pull the rug out from under all these retirees,
and you got it just you got like a horrible situation, maybe this
way, you need the Border Patrol and cracking head. Thank
you, John. Fine, you you're starting to see the light, not
only that with the retirees, but in general, the pension fund, of
course, the biggest Ponzi scheme that we own. That's why there's
FEMA camps, John, because I do believe that where we're headed,
is Total Mayhem on the street. And it'll be the Border Patrol
will say, why don't just come on run over here. We'll take care
of you, ma'am. Mr. Dvorak, please, nothing to see here,
just have a seat, the barbed wire turned on the inside is for
your protection, not to keep you from escaping.
Whatever now, you're always going in that direction? I think
there's a concern. But I think it's an economic concern. I
don't think that these guys, this particular group of people,
I think there's there are pockets of people, or maybe this
is maybe everyone, actually, maybe the government thinks the
way you do which is a possibility, which is
frightening, which is that there's going to be riots and
blood in the streets. If these guys have their money taken away
from them. They guaranteed this money that's going to work for
this company for 25 years, the ugly told a given a bunch of
bull crap, and then have my pension taken away. Now what am
I supposed to do? There's no jobs for me, there's nothing to
do, I can't can't pay my mortgage, I can't get another
loan, my house is worth less than it was two years ago. I
mean, this is like a buffer. This is a formula for you know,
for you no riots. This
is exactly what was discussed in the secret meeting in Congress.
You'll recall this happened in the last quarter of 2008. Just
before everything started to really hit the shitter. There
was a secret secret meeting off the record, only only House
members were allowed to attend. No one's allowed to talk about
it. And we now know that in that meeting, specifically was
discussed that martial law would have to be invoked in the United
States because we were tanking the I mean, it's not like these
guys don't see it. Why do you think that Goldman Sachs is
stealing all of our money taking it right from their buddies in
the in the treasury? Because they know what's happening. It's
unavoidable Minus World benefit while we can and yes, that's why
the camps were set up conveniently, the law, they
already had them set up, but they conveniently introduced the
bill, just about the time where we're going to actually need
them, where they can be for all kinds of disasters and anything
else homes homeland,
can use for anything. car buying.
This is exactly what they said 50 years ago, these camps, and
then I can be used for anything. Don't worry about it. But you
got nice showers there too.
Yeah, well, I mean, from your perspective, I can see it,
especially when you're overseas and you're not actually here.
John, they already literally said the government said, it'll
be the summer of rage. They're they're already putting it into
people's heads. Oh, there's going to be fighting in the
streets. It's going to be the summer of rage. Everyone, you
know, we have extra forces now that we need because the economy
the people are so meek and sheepish here that they they
need the actual command. It's like a command line. They type
in the commands
dry it. Yes, he's right. So we can implement our scheme.
Yes, that's exactly what it is. It's that simple. I used to
think it was so complicated, but it's really really Simple and
and I'm sure that I
put money on these riots yes yes yeah
I will not dry it's I'm putting money on people being detained
in camps for sure. Detained they'll be living there
peacefully Yeah how about so the
in the agent it's all one giant homeless shelter
we are these tent camps are all over the country now they're
growing like crazy people have to go somewhere pending in the
United Kingdom it's already cultural to sleep rough.
You know the did you know that? You know what is your sleep
rough mean?
That means you sleep outside on the street or wherever? That's I
mean without your underwear. That's Commando.
So. So yeah, by the way, just as an aside, so you know, that
Italian town a couple of bunch of these Italian towns that were
devastated by that earthquake, they set up these tent
communities all over the place, the run by the mob? Well,
there's what the funny thing is, I was doing somebody was doing a
walkthrough in this tent community. It looks like
anything else in Italy, a bunch of people sitting around
drinking cappuccinos.
A lot of people died. Let's not be so no, I'm
sorry about that. But I'm just saying the fact that the
Italians are good can relax into any situation as Italians, you
know, without be like you have it. This was like an American
thing. You'd have, of course, the news media propagates to
stay find some woman crying her eyes out. Yeah, you know, and
all she does is sob. And they put her on the camera and then
they you know, then
voiceover. This woman lost her entire family, her home and
everything that she ever possessed.
And they come up to how do you feel about that? Oh, my God,
what is wrong with you people? Leave with a woman alone. How
do you feel? Because it's the same guy who asked Madonna the
question, you know, when her child adoption plans are
thwarted. It's the same guy. How do you feel about that?
The secret memos, I think is worth mentioning. Please, okay,
please tell me you've heard about
this. I've heard about secret memos. But I don't know which
ones to which you refer.
Well, these would be the bush interrogation memos. Oh, yeah,
there's the one where they care. Right? Go ahead. Well, I mean,
this is the one where they said you know, the bottom you're kind
of promoting the torture,
kind of kind of promoting like waterboarding. Totally. Okay,
good. Good to go kids. Torturing children by putting them in, in,
in a confined space with with with bugs. Yeah, man.
I know, it's sick. It's like, it's like when did these you
know when did these when did we get a When did these people who
should have probably been washed out of communities or you know,
national service for being probably perverted and sick? You
know, why? How did they get into positions of power where they
could like promote this sort of thing? I mean, this is like,
this is like out and out sick.
Yeah. And it's stamped with an American flag amigo. And so
Obama's administration says, well, we won't prosecute anyone
who participated because they were just following orders my
god another throwback to WWE to we were just following orders.
Yeah, she had that the problem with that was going along with
it we instead of probably what they should do is course
prosecute because that will keep other people from making the
same stupid mistake, but that's what exactly that's what they do
is what they buy not prosecuting is kind of like Wink, wink,
nudge nudge. It's okay. But we're saying it's not because
our followers, Neal demanded, but we're going to just you
know, you guys are you're off the hook. How's that work?
It only works in the Land of Oz, my friend. There's a judge in
Spain, who for a year now has been trying and he's gaining a
little bit of ground. He's certainly gaining some PR. He's
desperately trying to bring six leading Bush administration
officials to justice, including Attorney General Gonzales.
Undersecretary defense Assistant Attorney General Jay Bybee, John
Yau, the Deputy Assistant Attorney General and William
Haynes, the second Defense Department general counsel, and
this is like lawyer war going on.
Yeah, lawyer war. Well, you know, the lawyer wars going on
with the new attorney general and, and that Ted Stevens case.
Yeah, that
can Isn't that still lingering, isn't it?
Yeah, because they're thinking of prosecuting yet for malicious
prosecution, the government officials that went after
Stevens. So there's a lot of weird stuff going on like that,
I think is it's out of control. There's just no control. No
one's running the show. Everyone's got their little
fiefdom. Everyone's responsible for one little thing this was to
fuck us with. And they're just out of control. It's like,
here's, here's your papers, border patrol, go screw with
everyone. Lawyers. Let's go sue each other. Goldman Sachs, keep
stealing money from us. Okay. We need to implement the bird flu.
Hey, hey, you guys. Don't let that story get out. That was
bad.
So the talking about, you know, this, these guys trying to
prosecute Bush officials. I think there's a certain irony
that's at play with these with all the people in the New World
Order and internationalism, because at some point, if you're
going to go in that direction you're asking for asking for,
for an international court. Yeah, that actually has power
over Americans, which is something we don't want, because
we'd rather bring people to New York City and try them there.
Because we are the international court. I mean, we drugged
Noriega to Panama, you know, just go in there, grab him,
bring him to Florida, try and throw him in jail. You know, the
guy who's running a country? I mean, that took a lot. Excuse
me, who owns the country? Yeah, right. Hey, dude, we told you
what to do. We put you on the payroll, you didn't do your job
in the brink. That's how it works.
But when you take when you if you're gonna go toward
internationalism, that potential exists, that these guys that
are, you know, being indicted on some international court,
because there wouldn't the Bush administration, are at great
risk of not being able to ever leave the United States for
because
they'll be picked up and thrown in, in court subsequently jail.
Yeah, I think it'd be picked up anywhere pretty much around the
world, you know, that somebody can grab them. And the thing is,
most of these guys would, you know, they seem to have plans to
get to Paraguay, which I think is, you know, immune to
Paraguay, and in particular is immune to extradition. From the
US or to the US, I guess if you can somehow get to prayer,
Paraguay in a private jet, perhaps you could escape but
it's like people are scrambling, it's kind of interesting to
observe the
rats are leaving the ship. And well, I think that China China
is onto something they they're really quite smart about, about
you know, so the US our government basically kicks us
into shape with intimidation and all kinds of crazy Gitmo nation
like rules but in China, they've they've they've gone on a whole
different track, which I really liked. They've apparently the
government has employed Jackie Chan. I kid you not. And he said
he's coming out and saying stuff like the Chinese people, they
really need to be controlled. I'm not sure if it's good to
have freedom or not. This is the way this is the way to do it. If
we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want.
That's wrong, says Jackie Chan.
Is DeQuan we want not I didn't catch this. This is funny.
Yeah, this is a Yahoo actually from the AP. It's a good story.
It was a panel discussion. Titled tapping into Asia's
creative industry potential. Good old Jackie, Jackie Chan
doing his stuff, man, I love it.
I was reminded of all these companies back in the 90s and
80s, that were relocating putting a lot of their offices
in Singapore, which is the fascist state. I mean, it's an
actual real honest to god fascist state that actually
functions very well. And it's a place where the visiting
Americans always Euro comfortable there, by the way,
especially American companies, because it's this, you know,
essentially, fascists are comfortable
with the uncomfortable. Yeah, of no, they're very comfortable
they go to they're comfortable, though, because the government
of course, is its corporatism. So yeah, so it works perfectly.
Yeah. And if you go, I've been there, and it's a very
comfortable place to go. I mean, it's like there's a lot of
people around but you don't feel you know, just everybody. Not
everybody, but a good portion of the population speaks English
because it's that you find that in that part of the world
because of the British. And it was a British colony. And it's
just but it's interesting. How relaxed me you Yeah, they, you
know, there's a joke. They like to joke about themselves, the
Singaporeans and they one of their gags is, you know, oh yes,
we think Singapore is a very fine city. You get fined for
jaywalking, you get fined for bubble gum chewing you get fined
you keep by the way, it is illegal. chew gum and sell gum.
No it is you can't spit it out on the street. That's when you
know you can have
gum but you can't but no, you also can't sell it. Nobody sells
gum in Singapore. Check it out.
No loss, no loss.
Anyway, just if it's not in a white witch so there we go.
I got one for you from the shadow puppet theater files.
Steven Rattner, who was an adviser to the auto industry
bailout is now under investigation. He's an adviser
to the Treasury, by the way and the president. Opening this is
the LA Times who does some interesting work. From time to
time the investment bankers Steve Steven Rattner came to
Washington in February to help the admitted Obama
administration bailout General Motors, corporate Chrysler, and
maybe even find a larger role in government for himself. But any
larger ambitions are now clouded by a pay for play scandal that
links the New York State Pension Fund, a low budget movie called
church and Ratner's form it private former private equity
firm. This is the stuff that dreams are made of when a
movie in and of itself,
the movie named church. But the I guess he leveraged the New
York State Pension Fund, you know, it's like, these guys,
these are the guys who are in there trying to save the auto
industry we just spent $20 billion on and if you look at
the guy, he had just you just want to hit him in the face.
He just like missing a picture you want I mean those guys when
you just know that they're screwing you just the kind of
guy just want to slap around. Look at him. Steven Rattner.
Let's see, though. Not I mean, he looks like a weasel. co
founded the Quadrangle group. Yeah. to whoop dee doo. He's got
that same hair cut dead bunch of these is like an Ivy League
look. You know where you got the it's William F. Buckley kind of
haircut.
Yes, exactly. Nicolas Sarkozy and Napoleon. Just just call
them Nicolas Napoleon from now on. Sarkozy the great. He sees
this guy keeps coming out with amazing quotes. He's better than
Berlusconi. Of course, they both have the same would. And he I
think he offended three world leaders in one lunch. I'm
looking for three for wine. Here it goes. Mr. Sarkozy, not known
for his tax said US President Barack Obama was quote, not
always up to standard on decision making or efficiency.
Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero of it, you have been was, quote,
perhaps not very intelligent. Well, Angela Merkel, quote, had
no choice but to come round to my position when she saw the
state of the German banks. This guy, this is the guy you gotta
watch out for.
Oh, yeah, this guy's
dangerous, but he is yeah, he's he's very dangerous. And the
more I look at Carla Bruni, the more I'm convinced that she must
be an MK Ultra experiment. She must be one of the presidential
models of you know, that are hypnotized. And and I'll just
robotic. Why else would she be with this man?
Well, maybe she well, she likes to trappings of power. Plan
about trappings of power. So I've forgot to mention that one
of our contributors last week, which I want to mention, because
he gave us an interesting number. And by the way, I want
people out there. We didn't get a lot of contributions last
week. I guess the show wasn't that good. But to send us some
help here at the fork.org/in A. Anyway, so this guy sent us
$51.50 5150
is nine oh 5250 is Van Halen studio address. 5150 I give up
it's the guy specifically I think is in California, but I
think it might be elsewhere it's refers to a section of the law
that defines insanity. Ah, so I yeah, when he when he came in
with this number, I immediately caught it because I used to work
enforcement he used to be insane. Because we used to have
these people that were logged there was all though don't get
can't go visit them. They're 51 fit or they actually we call
them 5050s. And that meant that they were net jobs and they were
had aluminum foil hats and that kind of thing. um you know like
you
and that's another one for the armory
we appreciate so anyway we know the thing this about this
character is his name it's like I lose saw his name I go oh my
god, this is like one of the world's greatest names, because
it could be any kind of person. So his name is Johnny green. Oh
great, John.
I agree with everybody. Yeah, Johnny green bringing it to the
ladies.
It could be like a pimp. Or it could be like a you know,
broadcaster or it could be a baseball player Johnny green.
Johnny green is centerfield. It's
one legged Johnny green out there. And he's gonna steal
second.
And so so the so the you know, so he's got this is a universal
name, but that but the thing that's really interesting about
is that in this day and age, having the last name green is
actually pretty, you know? trendy. Oh, right. Okay,
I see where you're coming up with the
green thing. And I'm saying Do you
remember we talked about a
finish some more of these numbers? Just seconds.
We talked about someone who made a donation last week and we
thought it was a hot babe from from Italy? Andrea? Yeah, it
turns out Yeah. Andrea is like a is an is a is a guy's name in
Italy.
Oh, so. There you go. I thought I'd link to her. I still want to
know if he's hot. You don't know this. Not well. Okay. Maybe
undirected. Let us know. So here's a couple other numbers.
2012 Of course you get that and 911 which is surprising. We
haven't gotten that more.
Was that. Nine $9.11 or
nine 911 minutes. Okay, sure. 666. Again, I here's what I
didn't couldn't fathom. is the only one there's a 1984 There's
a 2001 You know, based on the movie a guy had to write me a
note. Yes, but the front of movie. This one. I don't get
2674 2670
form now. It means nothing to me.
I got nothing. I got nothing. Then maybe who knows? Some some
in there.
2674. Did you Google it? Did you try that?
Oh no, I didn't do that.
We have an RFC 2674.
What's that? Something about
printers.
I liked the printer. He likes a certain HP printer.
You know people should there's a lot of things you could do. You
could do house resolutions A 35 is a good one. Which of course
is the RE education program of America. Which will send your
children to camp and they get a nice armband. 2670 490 Pen pen
Doris Okay, hold on a second. 2674 Pen Doris. A Jew Jupiter
Trojan. discovered on January 27 1982. I don't know what that
is. It's like a an asteroid.
I don't know. Maybe that's the one headed our way.
What else do we get?
That's pretty much it. I mean, there's a lot of you know,
subscriptions. And that's about you know, two bucks here and
there. But we don't have anything spectacular. We don't
have any new nights.
You know what the problem is, John. The problem is we don't
have enough. And now back to real. Pop Star Madonna has
suffered minor injuries and bruises after falling from a
startled horse on New York's Long Island on Saturday.
According to her spokeswoman, the 50 year old singer fell when
her horse was startled by paparazzi who jumped out of the
bushes to photograph her. Madonna was treated at a
hospital in Southampton and was later released.
Wow, she could have been killed
that actually makes like the BBC News. I'm reading it from a BBC
News report from idiots, we are
that's pretty bad. Like, you know, somebody falls off a horse
emulous they she breaks her neck or some is not news. She did a
she
She hurt herself pretty bad. A couple of years ago on a horse
Yeah, she broke her arm and I think maybe her collarbone and
she got pretty bad. Hey. I didn't know. You know, and most
people when you think of Iran, you don't think about that they
have this problem or even these facilities. But the Iranian
authorities have arrested 26 men and women who were involved in
producing and distributing through the internet, child and
other forms of pornography We got a whole cyber team over
there.
Well, I Ron's not, you know, a backwards country by any means.
Oh,
I know. But I believe most people think Iran and you think,
you know, people with towels and camels.
They hadn't even think there are any camels in Iran.
They got iPods.
You know, they're Persians, not Arabs.
The Persians not were towels on their head.
Very she didn't know and not that I know of. It's not a
towel. Really? Coming out of the shower, what is
that? Garmin called then John. And Scott. Oh, you're so
knowledgeable. You can't name I mean, a tinfoil towel. That's
what I need. Okay,
I'll just hate by the way. Yeah. So last week, I went on, I got
like, I got a nasty note from one of our producers. And by the
way, that's what we call anyone who contributes to the show
divorce.org/in A or no agenda? library.com, please. Anyway,
he's saying that, you know, you told the stupid court cork story
of in Portugal once already, you know, six months ago, and why
are you telling it again, it was boring, and it was long winded
and you can't you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I'm
thinking and I said, Well, you Eric Adams supposed to call me
on these when I'm being repetitious. Like because I
don't know. I think it's a fascinating I like the cork cork
story.
Okay, so so we have to have an agreement because from time to
time, I think gosh, shit, man, you've told that before, but I
just let it go. Because I don't want to be rude. Maybe
the West that's when I don't
say oh, we already heard that before. But I guess I should.
Well, I think you should do it in some sensible way.
Okay, let's try it. Hey, dude, you this is the second time
here we go. Ready? Yeah. Okay, go. So you didn't know dude
finish up with your you're in Portugal and you know you're
Yeah, it was the Cliff Richard wine and there were some nice
oak Yeah,
you know, the funny thing I was in Portugal in that same area.
And the funny thing was, you know, is that I had this like
fascination with cork trees. So I wanted to take a look at a
cork factory.
John, you've already mentioned that to us before 10 Time to
take your meds and let's continue with the show. From
getting impatient, go ahead.
Yeah, to come up with some better I like to Horn No, that's
okay, good. from Gitmo nation can be honking that half the
time
it's just really good. There's a new leaflet out John in the UK.
Remember, we're just talking about conditioning of the
people. The leaflet is titled coping with the stress of job
loss. And so there's many tips in there. Can you guess what the
main tip is?
Drink a lot.
It's close. Eat more fiber.
You're kidding though. Though you have a copy of this. You've
got to scan it. I don't have a copy of it, but I will get it. I
didn't scan it because that is too funny. A leaflet blog a
leaflet
on coping with the stress of job loss includes advice on
maintaining well being by eating healthily including
concentrating on fiber rich foods like wholemeal bread fruit
and vegetables and here it is John Drink plenty of water and
get enough rest and sleep I mean how how degrading
fiber that is these grains these these complex sugars which what
they really are the bane of, you know people with blood sugar
issues. They want you to have a lot of extra satiating and makes
you kind of slow witted you make dumb you get just kind of stupid
like the smartest you know if you just eat fish you're getting
gonna get you know too
too smart and yeah, you'll be you'll be like prepared to go a
riot
and stuff and so would you so you want to have a lot of you
know that and then of course drinking but I'm because I'm not
a total believer in this one. But drinking a lot of
fluoridated water on top of that. That'll keep your calm
exam to keep it calm, so you won't call it throwing rocks at
the parliament.
It's not quite as bad as in Thailand though, where the
government has classified 13 plants as hazardous substances.
They include ginger Wow. Tumeric knee hitting that name. I don't
know what neem is.
Name is an E M is a an herb used in Indian medicine. And chilies.
Chili. Yes, that's like the staple in Thailand.
Well, the Ministry has labeled these as hazardous to substances
type one which quote requires all manufacturers growers
importers or exporters of any products made from the plants to
follow strict AFD and quality control rules are face up to six
months in jail and a 50,000 baht fine. Which of course is you
know like 10 years wages for these guys.
So just silly grows wild yep so just pick it
you have to adhere to the strict safety and quality control rules
this is how these guys get squeezed out because who who is
the company that is going to come in and do this for us
months Monsanto
exactly Monsanto
actually we need to do it to count down we should do 123
Monsanto together you know and do it together. Yeah, see if we
can harmonize Okay, let's get actually nevermind because we
got a leg here to impossible to harmonize so
I can harmonize with you you can but it will sound unharmonized
on your end.
Oh yes it would. So anyway, yeah, no, they obviously this is
a way to screw the little the little regular farmers that grow
this stuff. And especially I mean, ginger, I mean what some
dude, this thing none of these things are harmful.
No, they're extremely dangerous to your health. If you don't
follow the strict health and safety guidelines or
shit it's bull. What's the what's the what is it with a hot
chili pepper? You pick it and put it into food and cook it and
me what's the deal? I mean, what do I it's what's the what's the
fear?
Riots in the street that did not that I would advocate. Thai did
the food is delicious. I love to call out basil while they're at
it.
Oh, they wine world who says they won't we still have a show
on Thursday. Anything can happen. But there is an outrage.
And this kind of foul I would do in real news except it is kind
of an outrage. Gordon Ramsay you know the guy who of course
always says everything has to be fresh, fresh, fresh, fresh,
fresh has been busted. Well busted. Yeah, that he makes
stuff up the day before and then heats them up in baggies in hot
water before serving them.
Well who busted him for this.
This is what's the guy's name?
pipa. We didn't have a dead Gordon Ramsay doppelganger who
could come in when Ramsey is doing this and just berate him.
Israel pawns that he's one of the he's one of the guys who I
guess Ramsay came in to save his restaurant. But he had to close
it. It didn't work out. Oops. And so he's done a tell all with
the sun in the UK. And he's talking about the boil in the
bag type food that Ramsay is serving his restaurants.
Headline Ramsay serves up coq au van va en he just he just rolls
up the meals premade in his van to the restaurants. That's not a
good thing to have. People say about your food.
No. But there's there's a obviously a publicity campaign
targeting him. I think because there's too much he
did not respond at all to the allegations about his. His
philandering. He'd never responded once and it went away.
It just went away. Maybe that's why they're back at him. He must
have pissed somebody off. I'm sure he pissed a lot of people
off.
Yeah. Well, you know, the real kicker there, of course, is that
his partner that really made him who he is today was his father
in law. I didn't know that. Yeah, his father in law's his
backer. And his father in law obviously wasn't too pleased
about finding out that he was, you know, screwing over his
daughter by philandering. And then the next thing you know all
the shit starts hitting the fan. You know, restaurants are
closing he's losing stars. And now you got this. Like,
Gary, I know what's next. If you really piss someone off, here's
what always comes next tax. The next story is big tax tax. Yeah,
that's it. Yeah. And, and if he gets through that, then it's too
to the head and put the gun in his hand. That's how they do it.
And in the United Kingdom, health services, finally they
figured out a way to kill people. free flu shots, if
you're over 60 Come and get him come and get your formaldehyde
calm and get your Mercury is particularly good if you're over
60 You die quicker from it. Beautiful.
So a little late in the game to be given flu shots out. Well,
it's a big it's kind of suspicious. I mean, the flu
season ended in March
da Oh no, this is the new one that one shot does all the
hazzan during shot so there's 61 I
didn't even know this thing was released yet as far as I know
it's not available in the United States is one I know what the
what this is. I don't think it's it's been approved.
Well, I'm reading through it if I can see anything. Well,
it could be just, you know, stupidity of, they don't even
think, you know, first of all, it's Pharma. This is the tie in
right there. So if they're given away free, free, free flu shots,
who's paying for it, the taxpayers are going to wind up
paying for this, obviously,
I bet you that, you know, I mentioned this is I'm just
guessing, surplus flu shots from this last season that they got,
they can't get rid of. That's an interesting theory. And so they
give them away, and then they stick the government because it
is such a nice thing for some, you know, tax break, or who
knows what
I am of a different opinion. But, yeah, I don't want to bore
you with it.
Well, we already know what it is. Well, but it is
true that we do have a problem with world population. So it's
true. No, it's true, you know, and what we're doing is we're
saving ourselves from every No, you're protected everywhere you
go, you can't fall off a bike and die anymore, because you've
got to wear the damn helmet, you know, there's just no easy way
to go anymore to the bathroom, surprising amount of people who
die in their bathroom. But, you know, we are growing out of
control. And it's what it was, what does it logarithmic is or
exponential,
we need to have some sort of a famine. Yeah, usually there's a
family usually what happens is pestilence is you know, they
have these the merit, the population of the world is self
controlling, because it either has a famine, because it can't
make enough food for everybody. Or they have a war because
everybody's bumping into each other too much. And you get kind
of annoyed by that plague. Or you have a plague some some
pestilence or something. Spanish flu, which was the last night
has to do with you know, people again, being too many people to
get too many people in a confined area. And then when
something takes off, I mean, if you had a bowl in New York
Manhattan, can you imagine how long that would? I mean, you'd
have the you have the population of the city be dead in 24 hours,
right? I'm just on the subway. I mean, you know, that's
so follow my logic, you get the free flu shots, which of course,
is just think about the Spanish flu, they dug that guy up by the
way, they took his DNA so they could find out what that flu
virus was. They've injected it into service people, lots of
people are dying in the military from injections that are
documented that experimenting all over the place. And now it's
time hey, if you're it's actually sick 60 to 6465 and
over don't get it because they'll just the why waste a
good flu shot and killing that person. They're gonna die
anyway. Let's just get the 60 to 64 year olds, I guarantee you
this is a part of a you Genesis death program.
Yeah. This is good that you have this kind of material I it's
it's a lifesaver, the way I see it, because otherwise, otherwise
it would just people would be taking the show seriously, and
then we'd have you know, the two shots that they had
the gun and the gun in your hand. Remember, I'm right
handed, so they put it in my left hand. I didn't fire those
two shots at my own head. Okay.
So here are the music. I'm gonna did work that org slash in a
here the music company.
We've been on for what? How long? One hour?
33 minutes. It's about right about right. I don't know. I had
a weird feeling about this show. But you mean, I don't know. Feel
it felt kind of discombobulated.
I don't think it was damaged different than the last show
which was kind of all over the map.
True. Maybe you like the new format for the show notes. A lot
of I was surprised. I thought it was shit and people liked it.
People like different things. It's weird because we just did a
redesign on
some like chili peppers that are natural and grow in the wild. So
I'm like them from Monsanto.
We just did a redesign of the blog and it's got like people up
in arms. The common thing doesn't work right is the
problem. That's
yeah, you can't take away features man. People really hate
it when features go.
Well, they didn't go it's just that they've it's funky.
Coming to you from the command line crackpot command center in
