Anyone ever gets caught with a hooker as a shooter? Adam curry,
John C. Dvorak.
Sunday, November 17 2013. Time for you Gitmo nation media
assassination episode five six. This is no agenda, monitoring
the black peeps from racism central the heart of Amsterdam
and get my nation lowlands in the morning everybody. I'm Adam
curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I remain and tell you do
not buy harmonicas from China. I'm John C. Dvorak. Buzzkill.
What's wrong with your harmonica from China? My friend
sounds like crap out you know it was sounded okay when I first
got it but these these high notes this and
I compare that to a German harmonica.
Oh Hohner is that is Hohner German.
You're both owners.
I have to say there is really nothing like flying 4000 Miles
being jet lagged than doing the show at six in the evening and
having that piercing sound in your ears.
So anyway, yeah, how are you? How are you doing? How is the
flight? Well, so it was Friday that you flew in you were you've
been there for days.
Yeah. So we arrived Saturday of course, Saturday afternoon.
Alright, because you fly through the night. It was I have to say
a couple interesting things first of all the TSA and an
airport security are messing up my my system because what used
to be no of course we can't raise our arm so we don't have
to go through the naked body scanner but it used to be you
could just walk through the premier line to get right even
even with your coach ticket which is kind of our system now
of course Miss Mickey went through a different line because
we can't both go through the line with you know with an arm
issue that would be kind of obvious. And but so now it
instead of the premium line it is only the known as the
precheck line because premium passengers in most cases I guess
are now automatically precheck passengers
but does it mean
well you know what precheck is right this is the
this is this is that system
yeah this is kind of that that scam
right you get more money out of you Yeah,
so not most people who are you know super gold status or first
class they automatically are kind of enrolled in the pre
check they still haven't you still have to have the meeting
and you know so there's just no more there's no more line
there's no more first class line if you can only if you're pre
check and or you know can you go through the you know, the the
first class line which is what Miss Mickey and I would always
do is just you know, take your coach ticket and walk right over
the front they never said anything but now it's like you
know, they don't care if you're if you're first class or not,
it's you're not precheck which of course I'm never going to be
I'm not going to be precheck and then give up my biometric data
and have you follow me and you know that now the credit scores
are proud of pre check That's all now combined. Why? Well
because if your credit score really drops all of us because
you
might want to blow off the plane if you got lousy credit score
you could be considered this rationale well I'm
not kidding you could be considered a security risk so
now all that's being put together that's crazy your
credit score which by itself is a big bogus thing is now
combined with your pre check data. So anyway that
so you could have a credit card in dispute and now be considered
an enemy of the state.
I actually I my credit score is I don't know it's like 400 All
of a sudden because someone ordered AT and T u verse in Los
Angeles and it got billed to me AT and T never even asked me
anything they just sent to the collection agency because I
guess they were trying to build the someone at that address on
my account. And I said no, I have nothing to do with it. So
the credit agency can you just put this on on my on my credit
record now? tanked? Because I have no I have no credit cards
anything all I have is just bad, bad debt.
I'm so surprised they didn't do secondary screening. You come
along
just to curry. I will say interesting for the first time
see your wallet. Yeah, for the first time cuz of course we have
to fly via Atlanta. I was on a flight where the the flight
attendant said You know, you can go ahead continue to use your
electronic electronic devices as long as you have them in flight
mode. So that's a new thing, of course that certain carriers are
allowing to happen And of course I well
that is that's that and ladies and gentlemen that's exciting
report that's Europe
oh no you asked me how the flight was no I'm going to now
I'm going to tell you about race my
that was my fault like the other thing all right
so we we arrived here and wait stop stop
let's go back on the flight this is always entertaining to
everybody any any incidents on the flight you're in coach or
you're in first class did you get upgraded to oh were they
nice to you it was delta jet was the food any good on Delta? I
doubt
there was no fruit on Delta Delta an hour and a half flight
to Atlanta that we had a peanut and we paid the $13 for two
Bloody Marys which is such a bargain.
That seems like a scam Yeah, you
think and everything works nice that you get off the plane in
Atlanta you get on little train, boom, you're because the flight
is you know, it's connected. They know that you're gonna go
on to Amsterdam. Now there was no upgrade whatsoever. Nothing
going on like that. Now the flight attendants on the KLM
flight are always nice to us. They always kind of have that.
Oh, what a surprise to see you back here in coach.
giving it to you, like everyone survive. Every once in a while I
see some really well known celebrity in coach. And I think
everybody looks at him because they look so sheepish.
We just don't care. I mean, it's We've been travelling coach for
so long. We just don't get in
your case. I just really, I mean, I I consider myself knit
naturally uncomfortable. And coach. Yeah, because I'm six
one. Yeah, but you're like Six? Five? Yeah, it's like an icky
six one. Yeah.
It's not comfortable. Yeah. But you know, well, it's, we do pay
the extra $100 For was it? Economy comfort? Oh, the two
inches? Yeah. So yeah, we'll take those extra two inches.
That's really nice. And but yeah, no, it's, it's the
difference between $900 A ticket, and three and a half?
1000. You know, who has that kind of money? Oh, yeah. We're
gonna go to Amsterdam for a week. It's a $7,000 round trip
plane ticket for the two of us. Yeah, I think not. And of
course, the Netherlands by its, we're in an Airbnb right now, as
we know, that's our new thing. Why ever stay in a hotel ever
again.
Which is really going to outlaw Airbnb.
I think I think the opposite is going to happen. I think they
already
get it New York City.
Oh, yeah, sure. The government may. Okay, let's step back for a
second. Here's the future of our world. And we see we're seeing
this with Uber. And we're, obviously we're seeing with
Airbnb, you're going to see more of this, the the world's economy
is going to run on. I'd call them credibility market
exchanges or something like that. So with Airbnb, you're
very much like Yelp, only Yelp got pretty compromised, but I
think you can still, you know, I think you actually follow some
people still on Yelp and you take Airbnb, you look at the, at
the reviews and you decide you know, if you want to, if, you
know if you want to stay in this place, and you can always
negotiate the price, which is kind of cool. But you also you
have a lot of power. So there's a couple things that weren't
right here and we called up and said, Hey, man, you know, you
want a shitty review from us? Are you going to knock something
off the price you're going to take care of a couple things
right now, because you do have some power because these guys
don't want a bad review. Conversely, Airbnb has their own
database of me and I'm in it and there are you know, anyone who's
renting out their place can go and look up me and see if I got
a bad review from somebody else saying well this guy trashed the
place or so this is really interest that's what Uber does
as well with with drivers and passengers. So Airbnb may go
away, but the because you know, as a business, obviously it's
competing with the hotels and tax revenue. But I think as we
move forward and people start to realise that all these companies
and there's really there's no real good way to make money on
the internet other than providing dialogue you know,
internet access, but regulation will kill these types of
businesses but there will be tonnes of of databases where you
have this credibility and you can trade stuff and you know
then and buy things from people directly. I think we're going to
see a lot of that but the the thing
you know, you have to give credit where credit is due this
actually began with eBay.
A totally apps this is absolutely where it started.
eBay came up with the idea that you can buy direct from one
person to another and then they would review each other. You
could say this buyer never sent me the money or this guy's a
scammer scammer or this piece of crap. He's showed one picture
and send us some emails and that sort of thing. You even
Craigslist doesn't do that, right? I mean, you can post
something in To commentaries of Craigslist, but nobody reads
actually I would go a little bit beyond eBay and I would give the
porn industry I would give them props because the porn industry
is always a little bit ahead of the curve and I think escort
reviews came before eBay
escort reviews are one way no customer reviews. Old Adam curry
came over the other day and tried to bang me and he couldn't
get it up. No, that's not true.
Okay, but it okay. All right. I'll take that. I just think
that all right, it will
everybody wants to do this. By the way. I this is one of my
major pet peeves for the last 25 years. Oh, the porn industry is
way ahead of everybody else. They did everything wasn't for
the porn industry. There'd be no VHS and Sony Betamax which is
bullcrap. The thing that made those those systems work was
sports recording. That's why VHS one over beta because it could
record a whole football game and beta couldn't
Oh, is this? I'd never heard this. I liked this is a very
interesting take. I never heard that.
Yeah, and so that mean, that's the only reason that difference
if there was a quality difference would be in favour of
beta, right? But it could only record two hours in VHS was
always at the get go started recording with four and then
went to six. And beta just fell because why would I want this?
Well, I can get this. And so they and it was you know, and
there was also more competition. It was kind of like the iPad
versus the Android
Don't forget there was also the Philips system 2000 Oh, well
don't don't make the Magnavox and my all time favourite was
good. My favourite one was a guy who went to this is that era
when they had all these competitors and this guy takes
me aside he said that even technicolour had a little eight
millimetre job that was kind of ahead of its time, but this guy
takes me sighs just don't get this stuff. It's just it's this
is this is the this is the future this Sanyo V cord who was
this guy were was one of these Pacific stereos or one of these
things. Yeah, Sanyo VT CT as he got the technology's better,
it's easier to make everybody's go into it,
everybody. Yeah, I'll, uh, I'll take that. But I think I've
never heard this theory about the sports games and the length
of recording. I've also always heard it was the porn industry.
And I'm with you on that I stand corrected.
But regardless, convert out of out of none. It gets, nobody
wants to buy it. And they all just something appealing about
the porn industry. They're the first to do everything. Yeah,
they're the first to do pop up ads, maybe, as it were.
I think the first really the first real time streams were all
they actually I think a lot of those came from Amsterdam cops
are also was doing their, their live shows they were streaming
them live very early on. Doesn't mean they invented the
technology or anything.
So they were on the plane, back to the
screw the plane. So anyway, so now we're in Airbnb. And I was
going to say, a big problem, of course, even though it's a very
short trip, and even though it's it's business related, because
Miss Mickey is working with a new gallery and her our expo
here has been extended. So that's all really good. So you
know, she's basically paying for it. The euro is just killing me.
The exchange rate is just out of control. Man, this is a no Yeah,
it's hard to do. It's hard to be in Europe with this Euro at a
buck 35. And that's, that's the official rate. They but they
scam me even more, you know, on the exchange there. Yeah. So use
you probably go up to a buck 40 to 30. So you want to buy a $1
cup of something, and it's a buck 40 to you, and it's already
overpriced. Actually, they'll jack it up to two, two euros,
which makes it three euros for something worth $1 which is
ludicrous. Yeah.
So I'm trying to you know, hit up old friends like hey,
remember, I bought dinner last time? Yeah. How are you doing?
I'm in town. So yeah, so, of course now, we arrived
yesterday, the exact same day as the holy man centre class and
his black piece who arrived on the steamboat, the steam ship,
from Spain, it's with him and with the
Black Panther black pizza. And of
course, we know that this is the you know, the big controversy
that everyone is all up in arms, the entire international
community and all the immigrants in the Netherlands This is
racism. We can't have any of this and how many people were
protesting and how many got arrested? Do you think job?
Well, there's probably I'm guessing based on the reporting,
I'm guessing probably 10 to 15,000 protesters and probably
maybe 100 arrests and five or six beatings.
Well, to be exact one guy was protesting and got arrested.
One guy 100% of the protesters got arrested.
Yeah, that's it. We should have done it. And I'm laughing You
know, and there was there was none. There were no white pizza
rainbow coloured pizza or any of this bullcrap people are talking
about but the funny thing is, after we debunked this whole
United Nations letter that was sent member this the
representative of the high representative of phoney? Yeah,
essentially some consultant who got to use a un letterhead. And
who was calling out to the Government of the Netherlands
you have to stop this Prime Minister, this is racism. The
BBC ran the report with the same lady as like real news
illustration that people's experience of black peace can be
determined by their skin colour. Today, in a country of
approximately 17 million people. More than 3.5 million are either
foreign born Dutch citizens or children of non Dutch
immigrants. Many are angered by accusations that black piece
perpetuates racial stereotypes. More than 2 million people have
linked this petition supporting the tradition. Others like
Michelle are making more permanent statements. This
determination to protect black peace is for some derived from
fears about immigration and the ensuing erosion of Dutch
culture.
There are a lot of cultures coming in here and we are very
easy to a lot of cultures. But they are saying now Hey, stop
your own cultures.
But the UN's letter to the Dutch government argues that sometimes
cultural rights can be in direct conflict with human rights. One
of its four authors believes that the image of black peace
perpetuates racial stereotypes
you can understand I think easily why black people feel
offended. It's really the hair which defines to be black. And I
think a lot of people don't understand that that it's really
such a you don't mess with black hair.
This is the lady from the UN and now she has a new story is you
can't mess with with black people's hair. So the way the
black peeps hit Yeah, I know the way the black peeps hair is
which is all like curly and crazy and out and you're like in
a kind of an unkempt afro. Now this is her stories like oh, you
know, everybody knows you don't make fun of black people's hair.
What I'm telling you,
this is insane. And this is the BBC
they have suffered from this inferiority for so many
centuries. And I think the last thing they should want is to
remind them of that past
of their bad hair past it's correct. This lady is off her
rocker.
So far rejected international rules, intervene to change
appearance, the majority of people, yellow racing, this
event will remove racist undertones. The UN's view,
though is that just because something is invisible to you,
doesn't mean it does not exist.
Anyway. So there you have the last part. Yeah, just because it
isn't in you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
It's
my I'm gonna predict this right off the bat. Alright. was in 10
years back peds dead?
But not just like out of the culture. They've actually killed
him. You mean?
Well, I don't know. The culture but but they could do it that
way. That's the way you do it. The soap opera?
Yeah. No, it wouldn't surprise me. I think that probably what
will happen is,
but no, we had no protests in the country. Nothing's going on.
Nobody really cares. Except this one person, this one squeaky
wheel, who's drawing attention to it and making it look like
it's something that it isn't, which is easy enough to do? She
is going to result in the whole thing. And people are going to
want to wait what why did this why did we do this? Then they're
gonna forget about and there will be no Black Pete No more.
Yeah, that'd be that. So that's,
that's rather irritating.
There's a bunch of stuff around the world that they should go
after. I mean, there's something that happens I think it's in
Wales or Oh, no,
there's there's there's traditional blackface? Oh, yeah.
There's traditions around the world that are even on like the
UNESCO list of protected traditions. And it's literally a
guy dressed up in blackface with like an, you know, an orange
dress on it's exactly the same thing. But it's so many on some
of the continent in the notes. Okay, they're
either that or that the woman does. She's just targeting the
Dane or the dove sorry about the Dutch, the Danes, exactly. Or
the Danes,
we need to talk about one thing are actually a couple of things
we need to discuss kind of off the bat. And one of them because
I'm seeing the emails come in and I'm getting, either there's
a couple of things that must be happening. Maybe we have more
people listening may mean we've reached some kind of tipping
point. And that may not be necessarily good. But we're
getting a lot of pushback on our big pharma reporting, and the
one that I really need to address that we need to address
is Bitcoin. Because people are mistaken, what our objection has
been, versus what is happening and what they think is going on.
And and I actually have an email that might help kind of kick
this off. But to be very specific, we have always said we
don't want to participate in Bitcoin for the way we keep the
show running because we can't use it to pay our rent. And as
long as you have to exchange this into another into a fiat
currency into dollars, it is not only is it it's risky, it's just
risky for us because this is how we live and of course, people
have taken that is, you know, you hate Bitcoin, you're stupid.
And now that it's a you know, the so called exchanges have put
the price at $500 People are saying we're swear we're idiots,
we're stupid, we should have known better I'm like, No, this
is actually proving our point. So here's the here's that here's
an email that kind of got me a little bit now we were talking
about the spread on the exchanges. Like you know, the
bid and the ask so
there's a bid and ask spread is way out of control.
Not only that, but I'd like to know people talk about you know
that there's no fees to very low fee when you have Bitcoin Yeah,
maybe if you send somebody a Bitcoin, but have you looked at
the fees for exchanging your Bitcoin into dollars? And 3% You
know, and then of course, you you might have a cheaper
exchange or whatever, and, you know, but sometimes you have to
wait a week for your money. It's all these things that are really
really really risky. But here's transito and he says he so he
says the your first one He's like, he's really insulting. He
says, you know, do you guys don't know what you're talking
about? How was the spread benefiting the exchanges,
exchanges only match bids and asks of its customers, either
you sell or you wait to be bought? Which is Yeah, on
NASDAQ. When you have an exchange, which is regulated, of
course, even that is crooked. We know that the you know,
especially with the high frequency trading, but these are
not regulated exchanges. I took a look at across some of these
sites of differences in price even some exchanges have it at
500. Today, some have it at four at some habit at 520 Min. How
was that even possible? How does that make sense? But okay,
exchange delays as transito there might have been a total of
oh, maybe 30 minute of delays with em with Mount Gox in the
past five months, since after the DDoS protection have been
put in place after the crash. All other exchanges never had
any delays. Oh, two exchanges benefit from these delays
anyway. Wow. Can I give you an idea? What if the people who run
the exchange are playing the exchange? Anyone ever think of
that? No. Bitcoin exchanges have had their bank accounts closed
left and right for years that money gets seized by the
government. The cost and resource required for acquiring
an MSB licence in every state is about $3 million. Opening a US
citizen opening as a US citizen requires a serving Bitcoin
exchange is actually the worst business you get into the
problem here is the government the government's are ruining the
Bitcoin experience. This is the kind of emails we're getting
here. Now. Hold on. Wait, let me finish and then we the word we
What do you mean
I don't get any of these emails. I'm sorry. It seemed to me I
don't think so. They found they found a they found a sympathetic
source in you and they send you these emails. I don't get any of
them.
Why don't you tell John that there might be something
okay. They still send you you tell you to tell me this isn't
that you'll fall for this. But this isn't just tell these guys
to get screwed. Point is
let me let me finish the email because I this is important
because there's more to this and then we can address it. Why
don't you tell John that there just might be something behind
quote decentralised math based assets like Bitcoin instead of
letting him repeat. The whole thing is a scam and his sell
sell to who joke? Here's my favourite. I made a few million
dollars. That's a good joke. If I made a few million dollars in
part by not following your advice, longtime listener, I've
sent you emails in the past to explain how Bitcoin is a perfect
fit for donations at a value for value model. Still want us to
use shitty PayPal facepalm you won't get a fucking dime from me
until you enlightened the fuck up. So, so here's a guy who's
sick, who claims who have made millions of dollars, yeah, has
listened forever, but won't donate to us because we're not
enlightened. But then he goes on, this is my favourite stock
tip, you might have the chance to witness and maybe profit from
a Bitcoin flash crash of 20 to 40%, around the 18th. And then
he sends a link to the coming hearings about the Silk Road and
Bitcoin in the Senate. But this is not unique. And these emails
keep coming. And it's like people you are falling for
exactly what this is. It's like it's like a penny stock scam.
You can't use you can't use. You can't use Bitcoin to purchase
anything, though you can if you want to be gouged on price. It's
like why would you buy something? If tomorrow your
Bitcoin might be worth more? Well, I'm not going to do that.
I'm going to hold on to my bitcoin and hopefully they'll be
able to sell it when it's $1,000, which it will go to
guaranteed. But Will there be a lot of people around? Who will
be who will take that? Who will who will really do a huge swap
for you?
My joke myself too huge. It's a great
joke. Yeah, it's a good joke. So this is, you know, it's like,
um,
first of all, there's a desert. These guys are these ankle
biters out there that, you know, they make these claims, oh, I've
made millions or I did this. And I did that, which is a typical
of a pump and dump guy, then they won't donate, you know, and
if he likes this show so much. That's my favourite part. If he
likes his show, and he's won't donate because we don't accept
bitcoins because that's all he's going to deal with. Does he do
the same thing and his grocer? When he goes to buy some mess,
Amelia
faces? You asshole. I'm not buying your milk until you let
me buy it with bitcoins.
Yeah, I mean, so he doesn't do that. So why should he do it? If
we've decided not to use Bitcoin? We could have made the
decision to do it. But it's just seemed like, the real reason we
didn't do it wasn't because of the speculation part or the fact
that you can't, the real reason is because you just can't easily
move it from A to B to something useful. It's not useful. It's
just it's a speculative vehicle, great if you're if you've
tripled your money, or, or I feel really good about the guy
who bought apparently a bunch, I guess I could have done a we got
all done this. During the early early days, you could have
bought lots of Bitcoins for 45 cents or four bucks or something
like that. Now, that would have been a nice idea. Because you
wouldn't have kept them you would have dumped them along the
way. Because we believe is what up to 20. This is the problem
with those stocks when you catch them early now. And you know, so
what, but they've just be completely, constantly
complaining about our attitude, or our thoughts on the matter,
which by the way, it's called freedom of speech, freedom of
thought, we can think about it this way. We can say do my jokes
that that's bad. I can't do that. Because I have to follow
the rules of the Bitcoin world. Whatever we say goes facepalm.
swear you're these guys who they send me one of these notes or
just tell him to fuck off.
Buddy, hey, wait a minute, I'm doing a show here. This is
Entertainment. To me, this is important. But you know, because
I check into this chat room we have. And I can see the same
people in there like by they're going to curry and we're going
to eat their words about Bitcoin. What are you talking
about? Because this is exactly the opposite. Exactly. It isn't
useless as a currency if the price is not stable, we've we've
gone up 20% In less than a week that you can, that is not a
currency. That's a speculative stock. This is the point I'm
making and what's so sad and this is
where there's no basis by the way, but then what
is sad is that this is being done. This is such a gene and
maybe maybe Bitcoins, the algorithm everything maybe it's
all perfectly great, but it's playing into into the fears of
people who actually do listen to our podcast and don't you know,
don't want big government screwing around with everything
and and messing with us but you being taken for a ride on this.
And the guy who had an annual $980,000 In bet Bitcoin he woke
up one day. I haven't seen the story where he exchanged that
for the actual money. We don't know if he did we don't know if
anyone would take that. If we don't know, I mean, who who can
exchange a million dollars? Is there an exchange that will take
my bitcoin and give me a million dollars cash? And am I still
gonna pay 3% on that, to exchange that money? I mean,
come on people be realistic.
I think it would be interesting if the whole Bitcoin thing also
had a backdoor, where all of a sudden, you could just make
infinite Bitcoins, like instantly. I don't pull the rug
if I'm you know, I don't know the math is the math, but you
know, it's like these just like these encryption algorithms.
They're all corrupt. They used to be I went to an RSA
convention once, and the first version that is out call. I
think it's true crypt. Is that where
they insert a backdoor into you there?
I already had a backdoor. They Oh. So they were talking about
there was this before TrueCrypt, there was this product called
Dr. Crypt. And it had I just for the life of me can't remember
the name of it, of the of the encryption scheme. But I was
told by one of the guys at RSA says, you know, he says the NSA
doesn't want people using this one encryption scheme, which was
apparently developed by the Swiss bank, as called was called
Cloud or Soma, it had a really funny name. And now it then it
disappeared, they took it off of TrueCrypt when they brought
TrueCrypt out, and now he get his Triple D. S, and all these
pretty common ones, and may all be compromised for all you know,
but this other thing disappeared. And I've always
been kind of in this, ever since I was told that I thought that I
just thought the whole thing was fishy,
right? There's, there was something interesting that came
up in European Parliament. Apparently, Linus Torvalds. Dad
is a minister of European Parliament, which I did not
know. And there was some conversation going on about I
think, one. I guess there were a couple of companies there. As
you know, I tried to watch all this, like three hours of it. I
didn't have enough time. But they were asking Microsoft like,
hey, you know, do you have? Have you installed backdoors into
your into your operating system? And by the way, it doesn't
matter what your answer is, because you're closed source,
and we can't check it anyway. So it doesn't really matter what
you say. But then, Linus is Dad said the following.
That goes to the different way of asking my colleague actually
almost posed a question when my oldest son was asked the same
question do are there?
I'd like to I'd like the Finnish guy saying, dude, that's kind of
cool. Well, my oldest son was.
I was some Finnish German.
Actually, I had to listen to it a couple of times. He said, When
my oldest son was asked, dude,
are there. Has he been approached by the NSA? About
backdoors? Then he said, No, but at the same time, he knows that.
Because then he was sort of being the legal free, he had
given the right answer. And everybody understood that NSA
had approached them. You go.
Yeah, I guess that's my couldn't tell what he said, what he still
wants you to tell me what he said.
Oh, he's so apparently. Linus was asked dude, dude, has the
NSA ever approached you about putting a backdoor into Linux?
And he said, no, they have not approached me well, nodding his
head. Yes. Because he can't see I guess he can't say that or I
have to go.
They probably show you a piece of paper. You can't say you talk
to us. Right, exactly.
There is something really interesting with a lot of talk
here in Europe, which came from the New York Times I know well,
I think Wall Street Journal article which the New York Times
reprinted. But it's not based on any leaks from Snowden. It's
only based on some people who have course sources who go
unnamed, which is kind of weak, because obviously we know that
this is now someone, someone trying to scratch back at the
CIA, because the NSA is getting all the heat
six minutes past the hour. Here. We have this morning another
example of the blurred lines between foreign and domestic
intelligence, your personal information and your money. The
Wall Street Journal says the CIA is building a massive database
of international money transfers, which includes
millions of Americans personal and financial data. The agency
is said to be building the database under the same
provision of the Patriot Act that enables the NSA to collect
Americans phone records, and Authorised by the Secret
national security court. Now you
go. So that's kind of trying to make the CIA look bad. The
Europeans are not liking this report at all, because of
course, they now know that, you know, basically the CIA is
building up a transactional database that includes European
transactions.
Well, that reminds me because that letter that they know
they're now going after the CIA or whoever it is that they're
attacking Brennan with that. You saw the letter. Yeah, I'm sure.
Yeah. Oh, the one about Benghazi where the Yeah, I wish it did
anybody
have to sign non disclosures. Now we know that then Benghazi
people that were there that they shuttled off to Buffalo we
can't find first first of Germany. They were in Germany
for like six months.
Yeah. And then they made him sign nondisclosure. So they
couldn't say what was going on, which was, as we always
believed, from the very beginning that it was a scam,
based on the hostage situation with the Iranians back in the
late 70s.
I mean, we should probably just reiterate that briefly, that
this was a botched kidnapping, which was, this is our theory
from what we've understood, which was put in place to ensure
President Barack Obama's reelection with a rerun of the
Iranian hostage hostage script from Reagan. And actually got to
there was something else what was came out that report. And
this is funny because it plays right into our our theory, our
thesis, which we've kind of gleaned from multiple sources,
apparently attackers had inside information. They knew where it
is. The attackers had knowledge of almost everything in the
compound for example, they knew where the gasoline was, and you
were the generators where they knew where the safe room was.
They knew more than they should have known about that compound.
Yeah. If you're if you're being sent in to do a job
you gotta know what you're doing. So the UPS Brandon writes
No, he did his nine and of course not is the big scandal.
And what I thought was interesting, though, this was a
Mike Rogers memo so they were he was in on this. And then I guess
I don't know if he told Brennan to do this, but Brennan's Did
you see Brennan scribbling at the bottom of this thing? Yeah,
he was we are not going to tolerate anyone not working
closely and cooperating with the committee.
This guy is the new Cheney as far as I'm concerned. He doesn't
he may not be happy with Vice President title.
But Brennan Yeah, he's
totally changed like totally changing guy's creepy.
Yeah, he's funny. So they had that this came out and then now
there's a big you know, kerfluffle over there Well, you
said you lie to these guys just apparently it was all they do.
Send them a memo and they just bullshit yet. These committees
are useless now the problem.
The problem is a they're the committees are scripted be, be
him. The public is just getting hit with Oh, this guy lied. He
lied. He lied. And then let your eyes start to glaze over. It's
like, oh, yeah, whatever. I'm sure they lied. And then what?
Nobody cares. Nobody cares. But this is true. In the morning to
you just in the morning, you Adam
curry. And I also want to say in the morning to all ships at sea
boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and all
the Dames and nights out there, which could be anywhere when we
oops, oops, hold on the phone. The microphone just went out.
nights out there could be anywhere. And what did you have
to say I
was going to say in the morning to everyone in the chat room was
showed up once again, regardless of timezone. They're all there
from their respective FEMA regions around the universe.
Although FEMA has courses only in the US and in the morning to
our artists, and thank you very much James V for your artwork
that we use on episode 565. Looking forward to seeing what
will show up at no agenda art generator.com for episode 566.
This is the no agenda show sometimes known as the best
podcast in the universe. We we don't take any commercial money.
We rely solely on contributions from our producers, as we call
them. And today we have luckily we have a couple of old familiar
names pop back up because the list is going to be short today.
But we do have as
we got to actually send a newsletter out with information
in
this one. How silly of you, John to actually send out a long
newsletter with some real quality information from our
economic hitman. Yeah, good. Good. No, that's okay. I
expected to have a down down day every so often but we do have
for one executive producer and three Associate Executive
producers and artists executive producers Jim crosshead, who
came in with Florida $44.44 of St. Louis, Missouri. My second
donation many more to come send out some carpet and mom she's
already having lots already who's recovering nicely from
pneumonia, and is in good spirits. Biswas wishes the both
of you for running the best podcast in the universe.
Let's hang out From karma to mom, we got
that for you. You've got
karma.
Silver Gorski is next on the list from Issaquah, Washington
to under $50. Longtime pre donor, I like to tell my wife
that's good. Yeah. I like to tell my wife how I owe you a lot
of value. That's why for my 30th birthday on Monday, she proposed
I donate as a gift from her. To me these accept that donation of
$250 I can now enjoy the best podcast in the universe on a
different level. I recommend other listeners consider the
same thing for their major or not milestones and the best it's
the best gift in the universe. I'd like my favourite jingle
which you guys don't play that often. Jaycees pet peeve of the
day, followed by to to the head top with the karma. And of
course I beat day shout from my wife to me.
Okay, we could do this. John Cena for
x. Tivo the day. You've got
karma? No, you haven't really had a good pet peeve all the we
could have done the porn industry. But you didn't quite
go on a rant on this.
That's what I tried. I tried to keep it to a minimum CSS
computers because I my time my basic philosophy is if you've
got nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. That is the
way I live my life. Onward on the restaurant.
Boy would be a really short show if that were true.
Computer Solutions and Services $222.22 And your Crockett and
Tubbs in the morning to you and thank you for your courage. I
got my quarterly bonus for being at a BD obedient slaves. So I'm
ironically sharing it for your value. My donation is the Devil
May and make it rain. I would like to hear from uma and
Mercedes. Oh, Miss, I have to put that on the thing and
reworked a copy again. Where was I? Oh, yes. Can I get a we have
to pass the bill so you can find out what's in it? Do we have
that clip? Well, at what we did we used to have this? I don't
know
if it was I don't know. So what he's asking for is that we have
to pass the bill so you can find out what's in it, combined with
a what difference at this point doesn't make from Haley, which
is a great clip and combined with the Shut up slave karma
that we
have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.
What difference at this point does it make sure you've got
karma? Wow,
I would like to point out that I was ready for that one.
That is impressive. Well,
he also handily sent along to links to clips where I could
find that. And this does bring up another point as we move into
surging vi count of Texas. People it's the two of us, is
John and me. And we have Eric who does the spreadsheet. But it
is very difficult for us to keep track of your titles, your kids
birthdays names, you really have to help us along and if you want
something specific, like you want, you know, like CSS
Computer Solutions and Services wanted, it helps if you send it
to us, we're not afraid to do the extra work. But we really
can just do everything because it's just the operations too
small. And some people get very, very upset when we mess up their
titles. But you know, it's we're, you know, we're really
just trying to bring you a lot of information you can use and
we put all of our time into that. Help us out a bit and we
can do the other stuff.
Very good. G net. Julia. Have you in Austin, Texas. He's over
there. He's right down the street from Adam with a actually
he has a telescope on Adams House as we speak. Austin Texas
make it rain for Cachia he this is a 111 plus an 88 for Adam
being a radio geek plus kicking in a penny for Eric's minimum
wage.
Here's what happened. That's Sergio via account of Texas. So
I guess he wants to do a new Make It Rain and I think what's
going on here is there's some guys I'm not sure if gene is one
of them. They really get a kick out of giving us their ex wives
or ex girlfriends names so that you can then announce them on
stage. Apparently that's pretty funny
to them
so I guess he wants you to make it rain for Katya Yeah, I got
a little script ready.
Oh, okay. When did we do that? We do that in our folder. Olivia
Deray
the regular one so we don't have to do it twice. And now they do
it again.
And that's it. That's it for today right?
Yeah, that's it. That's all we got. All right more loan loan
Eyes, people help us out for Thursday show please.org/and Of
course, you can always go out and propagate the formula.
Our formula is this, we go out, we hit people in the mouth
Oh, I forgot one thing. We do have a PR mention. And this is
crap. I don't know if I have his name. Sorry about that. But it's
a great initiative from one of our producers. It's no agenda
player.com.
And this is a great, great, great, great product. It's
it's pretty dynamite. So he's he's put together this website,
and it's up now no agenda player.com When it was at TED, I
want to say Ted, but I don't feel stupid I, I just I'm sorry.
Everything's all over the place here. And this is really a such
an outstanding product, that where sections of the show are
tagged, and you click on that section, and then the player
goes straight to that piece where we're talking. And of
course, we've had many initiatives like this, we would
like to try and get some feedback from everybody who
wants to crowdsource the tagging. So if, if people
actually willing to do that, then we'll have a great resource
that we have seen in the past with things like this, like the
transcription of the shows, people get really excited and
they do it and then, you know, after like a week or two or a
couple more than like, oh, man, this is a real work. And then it
kind of falls down by the wayside. But this I think this
has a potential no agenda. player.com Very cool.
Yep. All right. Sorry, I'm sitting here. Now, what are you
dribbling?
What are you doing, man?
I'm scribbling notes. Okay, we have a bunch of interesting sub
little news items floating around. I don't know what I want
to get to right away. The one child policy in China has been
backed off to suppose you're gonna close Chinese labour
camps. Actually, this play this clip. This is the closure of
this was from Deutsche Wella. And they do what's funny about
this clip is the guy who reports from China. The two people in
the studio are cracking up at this character because he's got
this is really incredible. And odd German deep German voice
with a German accent. But for some reason, because and I was
looking at this, the lips are synced fine on the show. But
this guy seems to be saying one thing and something else is
coming out of his mouth. And these two anchors have a hard
time and I believe me I had a hard time not cracking up. But
when you hear the guy's voice you go this is a very, very
strange voice. But this is a report on there supposedly. I
didn't know this was going on as much as it is in China. But I am
almost of the opinion that this is going on here too.
Which clips
Chinese labour camps to be closed? Yeah,
so they also decided to abolish China's system of reeducation
labour camps, where 10s of 1000s of people are interned without
trial. Wait a minute, this is what the FEMA camps are all
about. Great. They have FEMA camps in China initially set up
to punish critics of the Communist Party. The camps are
often used by officials to imprison people who challenge
their authority podcasters the reform has been welcomed by
activists, but there's been no announcement on when it will
take effect.
All right, for some analysis, we can talk to my tea is fun. Hi,
and he's had to dodge about was China desk. We want to start
with the camp's. How do you evaluate that announcement?
Well, it seems China's taking steps in the right direction
even though it is as yet unclear how far it is moving in the end,
even though it has been around for more than five decades. So
reeducation through labour is not even compatible to Chinese
legal, legal status.
You know what it is? He's a he's a he's a German puker. That's
what he is. Yeah, there's
a little bit of that. That's getting to
he might have been a disc jockey at one point.
Well, when you look at him he's faced doesn't match his voice
and don't match what he's saying. And he's just like what
we are talking about a system that allows the police to send
people to labour camps, without any trial without any ruling of
a judge. Close to 200,000 people are locked up in the so called
RE education. So labour camps right now, often because of
minor offences like drug possession or prostitution. But
anybody can be locked up who is in the eyes of the police
disturbing public order? By the way, it's not the first time
that reeducation through labour system has been promised. To be
abolished, there have been similar demands already in 2007.
Interesting.
Yeah. When I was they showed the people and they were, you know,
out in the fields and they were making farm and I guess they
laid their labour camps. But that's what we kind of do. We
have these now, we have all these private prisons that
private prison companies are trying to legislate, get people
to legislate. So we put people in jail with three strikes,
laws, all these things just to keep people in jail so they can
exploit them.
I think we're also I read a report that some cities are
taking their homeless and putting them into camps or kind
of like on the outskirts of town.
Nice. Yeah.
So that, yeah, I have to look for that report. That was a
couple of weeks ago, I was like, Oh, okay. But you know, we
didn't talk about it because, you know, homeless plays. Yeah,
well, no one cares about the homeless.
No, not at all. So they had the spy hearings in the UK, the with
the CGC, a CBS GVS guy, the Beegees. The Beegees guy who was
the head of the you know, they're equivalent see GQP What
it I can't remember this. I think it's a never get the right
order. CG HQ is LGBTQ, anyway, they have a big round building.
And then they had an MA six guy, and then they had the Mi five
guy who just wasn't saying anything because he didn't need
to. And we did learn that they're very upset because
they're convinced. Well, here's the report. You can hear it
here. Al Qaeda is having a field day with the leaked information.
It was their first joint appearance before lawmakers, the
heads of domestic and foreign intelligence agencies mi five
and MI six and electronic surveillance agency GCHQ told
the committee they were struggling to port terrorism in
the age of the internet.
It means that we have to anticipate, discover, analyse,
investigate and respond. And we have to do so globally. Because
the threat is coming at us globally.
GCHQ gathers and processes vast amounts of internet and
telephone data originating in the UK and abroad. The agency
had said the information leaked by Edward Snowden had made their
work more difficult by changing the behaviour of the terrorist
groups they monitor.
What I can tell you is that the leaks from Snowden have been
very damaging that they put our operations at risk is clear that
our adversaries are rubbing their hands with glee.
A recent spying allegations involving the British Embassy in
Berlin were not discussed. When asked about spying on Britain's
allies sewers said mi six operated in very few countries,
and its priorities were set by the government. Everything we do
is authorised by ministers. Thursday's hearing will be
followed by further sessions both right and private.
Yeah. So it's interesting to me that these guys are one guy says
why we're there. They're after us globally. We have to do this
because it's a global threat. Do you remember the era you may be
living in the UK during Well, maybe not. You're probably still
in Holland. But there was a period I guess it was in the 80s
and 90s, where the IRA was just bombing the
northern Oh, yeah. The Yeah, absolutely. In fact. Oh, I'm
trying to think now. It was on a regular basis.
And I was in London, what door
was trash? Can
the trash cans were blowing up? And it was bombs everywhere.
Yeah, it was bad. And they didn't have the, you know, the
slogan at the time. But essentially, it was. But it
would seem like in those days, it was much more about
vigilance. And not it was more like, Hey, we're British,
because I was living in the Netherlands at the time. It was
you know, we're British, and we're not going to get we didn't
like that the crowds take us down and the Second World War
and we're going to keep our eyes out. No one's gonna blow us up.
And somehow that has turned around now to any one of us
might be the guy you know. So instead of the snail like like
collective, we're not graduate.
Back then any one of them could have been the guy to there's no
difference, but that when there was a lot more action. There was
bombs constantly. I was in London once when there was a
bomb thing because I was had the excuse me, me and the kids and
we wanted to go to Henley's or whatever it's called that big
toy store in downtown and couldn't go there because there
was a whole area was cordoned off because somebody had blown
same mom in Harrods. No, no. Harrods is the department store.
It's called handling. These are Hensley's. It's a toy store pure
as a pure toy store like you know one of those pure toy
stores. I think it's Hensley's, somebody will know, whatever the
case that we couldn't go there because it was a big deal. And
all of this cops are all over the place. And this was going on
routinely. We've had what how many routine is this? Especially
because that was an attack by just the Irish Republican Army.
Now, according to this guy from CBGB, he says, though, it's a
global thing. They're all trying to kill us. They're trying to
kill us from Pakistan. They're trying to kill us from
Indonesia. They're trying to kill us from everywhere. Yeah,
but where's all these bombs?
Well, this is this is the new talking point. And Mike Rogers
is right on that tip. It's it's a little longer this clip but he
he's essentially saying that we in America are now worse off
than before 911 Because of this, if and exactly for this because
they're coming from everywhere. They're they're propped up
everywhere. There's lone wolves everywhere.
Right reinvented al Qaeda and a man some call the new bin Laden
doesn't get
any better. John, the new bin Laden everybody standby. One
lawmaker
says they're posing the biggest terror threat to the US homeland
in more than a decade. CNN, Brian Todd is working the story
for us today. Brian, what are you finding out? How concerned
should we be?
I think pretty concerned. Jim, I spoke with US officials and to
the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee today. He
has got a really chilling warning. Mike Rogers says Al
Qaeda poses a bigger threat to attack inside the US right now
than it did before 911. And it's the smaller scale attacks, he
says that are the real danger. They've become the new faces of
terrorism against America, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the failed
airline underwear bomber, Nidal Hassan, the Fort Hood shooter,
guided in ideology by al Qaeda. Now a jarring assessment of the
threat from al Qaeda to launch an attack inside the US from
House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Rogers. Now let's
just pause for a second here this Mike Rogers guy has to be
stopped. But he this he is an idiot. He has no idea what he's
talking about whenever it's something that we under actually
understand. Certainly when it comes to what he classifies as
cyber, and he's all he's doing is spreading fear amongst
people. And meanwhile, we have clip after clip week after week
of him sitting down on some panel with commercial guys. And
he's talking about Yeah, we got to get RAM these laws through so
you guys can get the contracts. I'm paraphrasing, of course, but
he this guy has to be stopped, I'm actually calling him
corrupt.
Now they have a different attitude and more affiliates
trying to commit acts of violence in the United States.
To me, that makes the threat much worse against the United
States today than it was even before 911 worse than
before September 11. A US official also tells CNN the
threat from al Qaeda affiliates has grown, they've set up in
unstable countries in Africa and the Middle East where they get
safe haven. Their leaders are encouraging smaller scale
attacks by lone wolves more than ever before Rogers says and they
have the means.
And some of the al Qaeda affiliates have better
connections to the west, meaning they can get good paper to go to
Europe, they can get good paper to get to the United States.
And what is this new mean this good paper mean? Have you heard
this? This is kind of
like it though. Yeah. Like it's by the way to do one of the
reporters who would give he got this call from say to him, wow,
because we be have increased our insecurity to two or three fold.
We've got all these guys listening in on everything. Are
you saying that maybe we should disband all this because it's
not working? Are you saying that the security mechanisms not
working? Is that what you're saying?
But wait, John, don't even stop there. Because wait until you
give me the examples of these horrible terrorists.
These small groups of terrorists are more likely to make
mistakes, experts say but they're also harder to detect.
Because of that. Roger says this is not the time to scale back
NSA surveillance has many in Congress gone after the spying
because
it's working well. We're on the right track handle.
We are talking about reducing the tools adding more risk that
we're going to miss something.
The mastermind of the small attack strategy. An article in
the National Journal points to a Syrian al Qaeda operative named
Abu Musab al Suri.
Al Suri write it down al circ already talked about El serie
This is a new this is new. This is the new bin Laden al Suri. We
haven't talked about him being the new bin Laden, John No.
Well, that's
true. That's a new thing. I'll sorry,
who MIT calls the next bin Laden. When CNN national
security analyst Peter Bergen and a CNN team interviewed Osama
bin Laden in 1997 a
second stop, stop. Can you back it up? Just a little bit? Of
course. Now, this guy who's giving the report Why is he so
worked up and talk and fast and he's all good. He's he seems
excitable
and because he's getting to talk to Mike Rogers you know, he's
royalty. Now he's promoted he's promoting the most cadences
paid. Oh my god,
this is great. Oh, This Syrian al Qaeda operative named Abu
Musab al Suri. Also MIT calls the next Bin Laden back when CNN
national security analyst Peter Bergen and a CNN team
interviewed Osama bin Laden in 1997. It was Al Suri who
escorted them to the al Qaeda leader in Afghanistan. They had
a brush with greatness. Bergen calls l serie intellectual and
dangerous
he was inspired, you know, talking about inspiring lone
wolf attacks. And
basically, you know, he his vision was of a job of a loose
network of jihad ease that weren't part of an organisation
that could be easily detected or rolled up. So wait, so this guy
met with bin Laden and Al Suri in Did you say in 98? Is that
what he said? 9797. Wow, this guy should be writing a book.
And that's very much like what we've
got. Don't you think this is a little fishy?
Let me think
Albert Bergen says Abu Musab al Suri is not the next Ben law. He
says, I'll sorry, does not have the leadership skills, the
charisma or the ability to marshal assets like the late al
Qaeda leader,
John, okay. Well, this is a this is a problem. We have the one
guy say No, and that's no to Mike Rogers. Yes. That's why so
that's maybe that's why he's so excited. I don't I cut the
report off here. But they were talking about the underwear
bomber being an example.
Like, okay, yeah, we're doomed.
You know, the, the Fort Hood shooter was another example of a
lone wolf. These are the guys this is this is who's going to
do it all. At what I would like to propose, though, as I'm
getting emails from companies who have seen that I have my
email was amongst the was it now 3 million emails that were
compromised with passwords at Adobe's fantastic system, their
cloud service? And their registration service? I'm
getting emails from them. But
wait, hold on, hold on a minute. Are you did you telling me that
you joined the Adobe cloud?
No. But I bought it for Miss Mickey who needs the most recent
versions for her artwork.
And she didn't provide her own name. And you did it all. For
her. It
was a Christmas gift. Oh, that's why I bought the
cloud. Was that available before Christmas? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
This Christmas. This group? No.
Okay. Oh, sweet.
Anyway, I keep getting emails. The FBI is now warning that you
should change all your passwords everywhere. And the FBI and the
government itself. And now has a huge problem internally, because
they use Adobe and all you know, the certainly the, the PDF
product, which has all kinds of crazy stuff in there. And I
questioned Adobe in general, with their Omniture product,
which tracks everything you do. But why is it that the CBGBs and
the NSA and all this fantastic work that all these these
government operatives are doing? Why can they not stop these
ransomware? Guys? Why is this impossible? Is it so hard to
track down who's doing this?
I mean, reminded of the that I've always found this kind of
fishy myself, I think every everybody's baffled by it,
because it doesn't really make any sense. And it well, let's go
to let's while we're on that topic, we might as well go to
this story, which is related. We go back to this. I have the I
think I got this from either Deutsche Well, Vela, or
I'm in Europe, and you're watching Deutsche availa. That's
kind of cool
as well. I don't know I can't get anything. Or it may have
been fan cat but whatever. This is the complete child porn
story. This is the from the this is a European report of it. And
I and I never heard the whole story before and they had a
bunch of good clips. It's so long, but it's very interesting,
but it brings up the same kind of question you just asked. And
it's it's actually baffling. It brings up more questions than it
answers and we'll explain when we get to the end of it.
To Canada now where police say they have broken up one of the
largest child pornography rings ever seen
close to 350 people have been arrested around the world in an
investigation that took three years
authorities said they were able to rescue more than 300 children
from abuse and exploitation.
Police in Australia arrested 65 men as part of the global child
pornography bust. The operation that began in Canada three years
ago is one of the largest investigations of its kind. Huge
quantities of videos and photos of children being sexually
abused and or exploited have been seized in countries around
the world.
The child victims identified in this operation, numbered Oh For
300 These 300 children have had their lives altered forever. The
images of them become a permanent record the sexual
abuse of a child. In this operation, the victims were all
pre pubescent, with some as young as five years of age.
The child pornography ring was centred in Toronto, Canada, and
run by a 42 year old man who sold abuse videos and photos
online. Police said the man paid various people to film children
for the purpose of creating material for sale on his website
of concern to the investigators was the number of people that
had close contact with children. The arrests included 40 school
teachers, nine doctors and nurses 32 People who volunteered
with children, six law enforcement personnel, nine
pastors are priests and three foster parents. The website was
set up in 2005 and earned its owner almost 3 million euros. He
has been charged with child pornography offences and running
a criminal organisation. Okay.
Okay, so here we go. Let me just draw a couple of these deals out
here. This relates to this other issue of why they can't stop the
ransomware and makes you wonder about everything. The
investigation has been going on for three whole years as
medicine started in 20. The year 2000. I mean, started the year
2010. Because 2013. Now, this website was in business since
2005. So it went on for five whole years without anybody
batting an eye. And they showed images from the site. And
essentially this guy sold crap loads of DVDs. I don't think it
was a download thing. But it was a lot of DVDs. It was a
catalogue. And it was all kind of with a little they showed
that little I'm Jamie and I, I'm my daddy and my mommy don't live
together anymore. And I don't understand why I don't think
that's fair. And it's some bullshit thing that gets you to
why I don't know what the point of point of it is, or why they
wouldn't buy these. But if it was going on for five years,
then it took three years once they figured out this was going
on to actually come to to get 300 customers. They never named
the man's name. The man a man was running the site. This man
who what? Why can't we get his name? He's been arrested. This
thing is so weird. The only 300 customers over this thing has
been going on for eight years. Are you kidding me?
Yeah, no, this is clearly because in my experience, what I
have learned in my research, which has I did many years ago
here in the Netherlands is the government. People in the
government in justice departments are usually
complicit. And this is the problem is this has been going
on inside these departments. We have examples of this the United
States as well. And then I'm sure other countries, no actual
news reports. And that's how things get stifled and they hire
people who are have the same disability, I would say because
this is these things feed from generation to generation and
these people are sick and need help. And the government is
failing everybody. In this case, I'm surprised it was only a
couple of people in Child Protective Services or foster
parents. But no, no surprise that it's teachers no surprise
that it's all people with authority. They always kind of
skip the ones in government. Right and yours. Demick in the
Netherlands. Yeah, it looks like a judge finally said, you know,
hey, we we will look now that he's retired, and people have
been taught this is the was was the highest guy in the Justice
Department in the Netherlands. Finally, a judge is saying,
Yeah, we should probably open up some files and investigate this
guy and let some people come forward and testify against him.
And we'll see what happens. But then it's a protection racket.
And the whole thing is corrupt from from beginning to end. And
it's been going on for a long, long time. So yeah, it's it's
obvious why no one gets named and nothing really happens. And,
you know, they they bagged 300 people and okay, it's all done
with nothing else to see here.
Yeah, the guy made $3,000,000.03 100 people that do
the math on that
also makes no sense. That makes no sense. That's
who the thing is. I'm sure his numbers are different to
3 million Euros by the way, which is more like four and a
half million dollars.
So this is like very typical and so they and where's the where
are these? The spy agencies and all these guys have got all the
phone numbers and all of the the NSA the Five Eyes Canada as part
of the deal. They should have been all over this in 2006. If
the guy opened shop in 2005. What Why did it take eight years
to finally finish the investigation when we have all
these, the agencies that the NSA is turning people into the IRS?
That's no problem. The NSA has to I think drug dealers over the
DEA that's no problem but they can't do anything about this
sort of thing or one step further they can't do anything
about this extortion where which probably because we
the extortion is in the to be paid in Bitcoin I might point
out the only reason bitcoin is handy to have
is that right? Yeah
oh yeah that's that's the new extortion where forces you to
pay them in Bitcoin and shows you where you can exchange your
money for Bitcoin? Oh, yeah, it's all it's Believe me it's
part of it. I haven't really delved into it but I'm sure
that's part of it. And the beauty is that you have the
people reporting whether it's true or not, and it probably is,
but I was listening I was watching This Week in Windows
something or other or whatever. And it feeds upon itself because
the reports are Oh yeah, you've got to do this this you know
destroy your keys, your sheds gone and your door your drive
blows up. So the promotion is built right into it but it is
the Bitcoin is a part of this it's a part of this it's no
longer it's no it's a you got to send a Bitcoin to this to this
address, which of course is anonymous, but they give you
instructions on how you can exchange your dollars or euros
for Bitcoin. I think that's I think not
well, they should they can put a stop to it by just shutting down
the whole Bitcoin thing which I'm sure they're trying to do
and I expect it to happen I
don't think so. And I think the opposite John I don't think I
don't think that at all I think I think it's to
open up the red book on this one.
You think Bitcoin but you can't shut down Bitcoin? That's the
first thing you can shut down the exchanges and how you and
where you exchange a Bitcoin for usable currency. But shutting
down Bitcoin itself I don't think that's possible
and make it illegal to use Bitcoin
Yeah, but you can of course you can make lots of things illegal
but you know, it's like drugs you can't actually stop people
from buying selling and using drugs but that's been proven
that just doesn't want to but
if that's put it to drugs thing is a different has a different
sociology mechanism than Bitcoin. This guy, you know,
geeks and nerds that use Bitcoin or try to because they, you
know, not useless. Have a different mindset. Okay, by the
way, I can't wait to read it. I can't wait to see my attitude.
adam@curry.com I'll take all your email there.
You should. Sometimes I'll see this stuff happen and you can
just go to the bit reddit.com/are/bitcoin i You can
just see what it says like look at these two idiots. These these
are these fuckwad that's the guy who said the mouse would never
amount to anything. Yes, so you know, washed washed Oh no, I
read all these Gosh, MTV iPhone
wasn't gonna pay out
washed up MTV VJ and the guy who said the mouse would amount to
nothing Yeah, these Jim bronies you can't listen to them they
don't know what they're talking about stupid podcast that's
pretty much it. That's pretty much it right? That's why
we love to get the donations to prove them wrong. That's why
we are oh, by the way, I want to thank who was it our producer
who was very very kind the only one by the way as far as I know.
Oops, I'm going the wrong way here. Tyler, who sent us that he
had just heard the show and sent us a flurry of emails he's now
man I got this PowerShell script and figured it out we can use it
to vote 4000 times and like it was like two hours left for
voting.
I really have to get hold of Tyler about a month before next
year's show set up about 25 of these things and just bomb
but when we have no chance John we have we have no I think if
we have enough people that will set up the script and run it
overnight.
I won't feel good about that.
I'm not gonna I don't care. Let me tell you how I feel okay
please I'm gonna give you my story. So we had there was a
used to be the Comdex use of this famous chilli cook off and
the initial chilli cook goes yeah yeah the first chilli cook
off I won. They had professional judges and my chilli was a was
one because it's chilli was a little off it was not a standard
it was a better tasting chilli is a reasonable one. And the
professional judges recognise it for what it was a very very good
it and I do have a recipe that I distribute I'll put it in the
next newsletter. So the so the chilli guys are the competitors
that mostly one guy from Texas who is also a columnist who was
pissed about this. He demanded that they have the judging have
a People's Choice Award because he believed that people were
over at his booth telling him what a great chilli he made and
says he was Texas. He knew a chilli was an Iowan from
California Judges, of course were stupid and didn't know what
they were talking about.
Yeah, so so the next year they had the professional judges and
they had the People's Choice Awards. And everybody who got
into the event, they had three coins and they could go around
tasting chilli and drop a coin to the buckets. So I hired two
models that were showgirls to
Wayman backup for a second. So you're in Vegas, you're like,
I'm going to win this. Do you then go to a Vegas theatre? Or
do you go to a strip club to find these boys? Do you find the
girls
modelling agencies?
You call the modelling agency? Yeah, okay.
So hired to gorgeous six foot Joe girls and had him in
showgirl regalia. They were pretty tight. I also had an and
the joke of it, of course, at the very end. But anyway, so I
had the two girls at the booth and they were also greeting when
people came in, says, oh, you should vote for divorce, you
should throw all your coins into the vortex pot. And so they
just, you know, sweet talk people into voting for my chilli
for people's choice award, right which, of course, I won. And I
had the two girls ARM and ARM escort me up the steps to accept
the award. I am
googling now. Is there any evidence of this? Are there any
pictures of you and showgirls there are
a lot of people talk it was a little buzz it was a buzz about
about tell you this, the guy from Texas and the other people
know who I'm talking about. The guy from Texas was just livid.
As it was his idea of one that year that's the joke that
chilies they had changed the judging a little bit. And I
realised when I tasted all the chilies that had won by the
professional judges that I did not amp up the ancho flavour
because apparently whoever the judges were, they just love the
flavour of ancho, which is a certain chilli that has a very
distinct in Chile, but I won the People's Choice Award, of
course, that's like feel about these things. Okay, well,
then I have an idea instead of getting all the scripts running
next time, why don't we just hire two girls, and we'll have
them you know, we'll set up a sequence where for every vote
every time you vote, and you have to send us your proof of
voting and you can go back every single day, you will for every
1000 votes or whatever it is, they'll take off a piece of
clothing and we'll post the picture.
Hey, that compared to bots, that idea is not going to get it get
the job done. I like it I will come in from both sides and come
up with the bots that come in with the girls can't lose
will come in with the bots will come in with the girls we're
gonna rock it wouldn't be funny if we actually won this year
just regardless.
We're not gonna we're not gonna happen because we don't have
bots and girls.
We write that down. Bots and girls. That could be the title.
Bad bots and girls watching CNN over here just to move along to
something else. I'm seeing Anderson Cooper on the ground
there, which is now being classified as the super typhoon.
Which is interesting. But the word super we do Hey, oh, by the
way is super food.
Yes. And did you see Mollywood tweeted about some gin that was
derived or some gin that was soaked in kale, which he calls
super.
Now you make me agnostic. Just I gotta finish the show. That's
only
30 Don't puke yet. So I'm seeing the Anderson Cooper over there.
I'm seeing reports on the ground is multiple CNN personalities
there. And if you watch the full coverage, you'll see without
fail, they are standing in the shot with a whole stack of
pallets of us AI D stuff etc. And the count now is it. I think
3000 people, the President came out I got a nice email from the
White House. We have committed $20 million. And I know how you
love doing math John $20 million. We've committed to
helping these poor people in the Philippines, which of course is
conveniently located right there in the seat of China, which is
strategically a great place to be we've we've run that country
before it's not bad being there. Now, let me ask you this
question. If we are committing 20 million and I'm going to
presume that that encompasses all aid, and maybe it'll go up
maybe we'll add another you know, 2030 to the mix. Let's
just let's say 50 million How much does it cost? To have the
USS George Washington aircraft carrier which cost $27 billion?
Which has, I think 5000 people on it? How much? How many? What
do you think I'm just did the numbers, I think it would
probably take about 12 hours of that aircraft carrier sitting
there doing whatever it is to reach the $20 million goal.
Not very long there is this is this is it, are they maybe
they're including that money. That's all they're not given
anything. And that's the money is also to keep their Crowder
running. Now, this
is bullcrap of epic proportions, that we are there because it's a
great opportunity to we had not just the George Washington,
there's a couple others should their support ships are there.
This is a this is a very nasty thing we're doing. And
essentially just just thumbing our nose at China. Hey, here we
are. We were in Japan, what are you guys
doing? Now?
We're a little closer. Are you doing? This is it's just
disgusting. And of course, everyone's gonna know that do we
have a benefit yet for them? And we've done this. This, by the
way, is exactly what happened with the earthquake in Haiti. We
sent the I don't know if it was the George Bush over there, too.
We had that we had the aircraft carrier, we had everybody
running in USA ID billions of dollars raised. We had not one,
not two. But we had three presidents. Ladies, gentlemen,
three presidents who were asking things like, we just need cash.
I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water. Just
send your cash. And then at the end of the day, what do we have
300,000 people with the poop disease living in tents.
And this is no one else fess up and pay the bill on the on the
cholera outbreak outbreak that was caused by the United Nations
nations. They won't they won't even admit to it. Even though
they know it's true, and it's been documented, but
so it's disgusting to see. So basically what you can just
Haiti is a lost cause. And as as much as we you know, that I've
been harping on this for years. I think we just have to put that
by this by the wayside, because it's what it is.
You could are been on for another decade, which is still
not gonna get any of that money. No, it's not going to the
blankets. All the people that texted 10 bucks, that was just a
waste of good, good work
that's already happening, by the way we have that I've seen the
text things. And of course, our advice is not to send any money
to the International Red Cross, which is always what the White
House always recommends. You know, I don't like that at all.
Because they always take the end. And same with Haiti. I
mean, we have these numbers, we discuss it, they take the money.
And they say, oh, no, this is you know, it's a generalist fund
general fund, general fund, you know, we'll help out. Don't
worry, we'll do something. And I feel bad, but you know, it's
like, wow, it's not it's not the shit happens people.
Yeah, well, shit. In the case of cholera, for sure. Yeah. It
really does happen. Terrible. Yeah. All right. So
what other little mini rants do we have for today? Well, let's
talk about your being over there. We just kind of dropped
the ball on this. What are you seeing in the streets? Adam,
what are you seeing in the streets? Can you can you give us
a report?
Yeah, John, I can give you a report. A lot of Pete here's
what I'm seeing in the streets of Gitmo nation. lowlands. First
of all, it is very cold here. So people and it's great, it's a
suicide and not all people are out. Of course, we arrived
Saturday. So we had to, you know, buy a couple things, you
know, like some stuff for breakfast. So we went out and
people are is grey, though people are not happy. But I've
also noticed that people do not recognise your presence or
anyone else's presence. I'm trying to see how I can explain
Of course, I live in Texas, which is different where people
say howdy when you see them on the street, even if you don't
know them. They know hat tips actually exist in Texas. But
here
is this Jewett Fed is an interesting contrast in New
York, where if you went around like that, especially with a
woman she did to slap you or shoot us or accuse you of rape.
Exactly or Yeah, or say she's not harassing me. I'm not
okay. So here, people are depressed. I think there was a
recent study that shows that the Netherlands is the most
depressed country in the European Union. There's a lot of
problems with joblessness. 100 possibly hundreds of the
publishing sector is the big news here. They are firing
people in publishing jobs left and right.
And these poor people cannot get work doing anything out now.
They think that Well, I'm going to start my own blog. You're
Worst case, the worst thing that happened was when Andrew
Sullivan, who had a huge blog following that he worked for the
Atlantic for a while, and then he really went back to blogging.
And he goes got on tomorrow's show, he had a lot of, he had a
he had real high weather that used to be a rating that used to
get people for people knowing comScore or whatever. I know, it
was used to be the M or the E or some crazy thing. So he decides
to go and start his own thing. And he's made like $700,000 on
subscriptions, which is should sustain him at about he thinks
he's gonna make a million I don't know if he's never gonna
get that far. But
he by himself is made $700,000 In subscriptions. Yeah. Wow,
he did it a different you know, he went he had a big audience to
begin with. He made he gets lots of publicity for what he's
trying to do lots of it. All the news, people are covering it.
Oh, is it any, which draws more attention to him and his
descriptions like 20, but it's like that magazine subscription.
And he also produces a lot of copy. He's not a slouch coach.
You got to have a lot of output for that. For that to work. No
doubt. You have to
have a lot output and you have to have it has to be compelling.
You get just like our show, we would get zero donations. If the
show wasn't compelling. It was just one of the typical podcasts
was purely just boring. There's no jingles. I mean,
the ones that people normally vote for. Yeah,
the ones that will win the awards. So anyway, he makes that
much and I think that it'll be sustaining I don't think it's
gonna make get bigger but he probably because he's doing the
model he's using, I believe, will make him about 500 to
$600,000 a year for at least a number of years until he gets
tired of it.
Or Or maybe it'll just keep growing. I mean, if he keeps
going like that, if he can, if you can hit the mainstream
ability to make millions it's here. The problem with me is not
that he's making so much money but it's a lure to idiots who
think they can do this right? There will be a lot of people
that said well of Andrew Sullivan can make 600 does. I'm
better than here.
It's funny. It's funny, you say that because I was watching the
they have Sunday talk shows here in the Netherlands as well,
which are you know, but not like Candy Crowley and all that. But
there's you know, it's kind of like there's some political
stuff but it's really the intelligent people stay home
Sunday Morning John and watch the intelligent talk shows. And
so they had two publishers from two magazine for one from the
kind of the leftist the folks crown, which is the the people's
newspaper have been around for forever, very intelligent
newspaper. And they had a guy who started quote, magazine,
which is kind of a rancid Forbes type thing, where it's all
about, you know, rich people essentially and their cars and
their and their watches and they and they produce the be more the
the rich. They produce the the richest, the quote 500, which
I've been on many times and have laughed my ass off about,
because I don't deserve to be anywhere near the numbers they
talk about ever in my life, even when I had money. So it's
bullshit, but doesn't matter because people eat that up and
they love it. And these guys could, of course, their
magazine, their newspaper in their magazine are doing okay.
So they're almost gloating, although they weren't really
doing it. But they were saying things like, well, you know,
yes, this is happening. It's very normal that that we have to
get rid of all these a lot of these magazines they have no,
there's no no existence, because the internet has one. And all
the money will follow to the iPads and the iPhones. This is
where the advertising money will go. And I'm like, No, it's not.
It's not everyone. Anyone can be a publisher. Anyone could have a
radio station. Anyone can have a TV station? No, it's not like
that. It's not
no, you anyone can be a publisher. Yeah, but anyone can
do apply cannot make money. Well, that's different.
Well, they were they were talking specifically about how
advertising a euro
was going to follow it as he's chasing all this inventory.
Well,
advertising is not the future on the internet, and I'm sorry,
it's just not the future. It's not
why would that be maybe because it's bullcrap that these user
bullcrap that there's bots that are going to be voting for us
next year, the bots will be out there with all these different
IP addresses.
Oh, did I lose you?
Tyler's bot Tyler's bots? It sounds like some some civil war
thing. It's the Tyler's bots. And so Tyler's bots are gonna go
out and vote us in and is not going to be any way they can
catch it because they're going to be coming from everywhere and
there's going to be no you know, there's no evidence of anything.
I like Tyler's Bots as as a brand.
Tyler's bots. Yeah, we could go into business with Tyler
Tyler's bots, everybody. Yeah.
That's right. Yeah, I
just lost you for a second. Then on what's going on oh that's
good. Could be me I don't know. Well we've been an hour an hour
and a half almost yeah that's about it you know what was
speaking of Tyler's bots? Why don't we do the show much
moved by donate to no agenda Imagine all the people who could
do that oh yeah that'd be fun
since at least a short anyway John we might as well do it but
we do get to hear we get to start off with some coolness
don't we
get to start off with our 111 11 from Mike mu Mueller who is in
Fountain Colorado he didn't give us a woman to win he didn't say

demanded two boxes of books. And a lot of writers.
This is actually this is actually a very good way to
start cleaning up your office.
Yes, that's what I'm thinking. Just send it but the boxes are
there. There's still a big box in this packed I can just put

WNSHO Not sure what it means but happy birthday. And grant
McCarran celebrating on was celebrated on November 9. Happy
birthday from all your buddies here the best podcast in the
universe. We really do our best with this. We really try. But
most of our time is spent doing other things. I have some slave
training stuff I'd like to discuss. I think I teased it on
Thursday. This is common common core
before Yeah, we definitely need to talk about it. Before we do.
Can I mention one more thing from Mike in Colorado and he's
headed on this note I had to please because I thought this
was creative. He says it should be a red book entry but it
should be his red book entry because he's just he's dreaming
it up. This is an interesting possibility to support Hillary
Clinton's run for president DC Comics will finally get to
release Wonder Woman movie in the summer of 2016. The web is
covered with failed attempts to get this movie made, but could
see a strong female superhero feed into the public before the
election.
Interesting.
So don't you think that actually is a good idea?
I think it's a good idea if
you're Hillary's campaign absolutely is
a great idea. We and of course your look a little like Hillary
Well, it's funny because there's no she'll never fly. She'll
never take off I don't care what kind of Cape you have. That'll
never work. There was there was something interesting was that
the war on women war on men thing, of course, this is really
going to start heating up as we have more and more news about
women and and almost anti men. As we ramp up towards 2016. And
Hillary I think it was under on a second. I think I had it under
the Yeah, here it is. This was this was a report called The
Sisterhood of the spies. I'll just play a little bit so you
can just get a taste of what they were talking about. You can
listen to the full clip in the show notes 566 at na
shownotes.com Deep
inside CIA headquarters, a special room the command post
the night us seals killed Osama bin Laden, and the scene of
daily secret briefs by the agency's highest ranks. And
here's what's new man given day there are more women than men at
this time. For the first time nearly half of the CIA is female
among them friend we'll
get by the way that the shooting sounds in this clip are in the
clip. What is that about it because it's this whole the the
sounds and and the music it's all like CIA spooky Stettler,
the director of intelligence in charge of the President's daily
brief, and Sue Gordon,
this is our shot. Right there using almost the identical thing
in this in this piece. Why? What
is it got to do with email,
not spies.
It's about spies. John Spicer is shooting up the place female
spies
do. Oh right, apparently
the director of support for America's global network of
spies. In fact, women now hold five of the top eight jobs at
the CIA, even the Deputy Director, the heartbeat away
from the top job is for the first time a woman, our
Deputy Director, our Executive Director, our CIO, our director
of support our director for intelligence. If
anyone had told you when you first started this agency, they
would look like this or that you would have the jobs that you
have. What would you have said that I would have the job that
I'd have, I'd say or you can decades intelligence work was an
all boys club. Most of the jobs women could get whereas
secretaries World War Two allowed some paycheck.
So they It goes on and on. But it's kind of interesting that
the women
now dominate the CIA. So they now they can take the blame for
all this stuff. run by women, it wouldn't be a problem.
But they're making room for Hillary man Secret Service
agents. They're cleaning that up. Because as we discussed, the
Secret Service really does not like Hillary. Now, I think the
latest stats are, here it is. This is from a P I think US
Secret Service agents and supervisors have allegedly
engaged in sexual misconduct in 17 Different countries to work
cleaning up. We'll look for more suicides amongst the Secret
Service, because that's how they do it. You see, particular
that's that's the hallmark of the Clintons I might add. So we
have a secret service agent who spend time with a hooker he got
caught. And then he's so embarrassed, he has to kill
himself. Yeah. Right. Which inmate Oh, is
anyone ever gets caught with a hook or has to shoot himself?
That makes so much sense. So so how
do I get through my common core? Now?
One more thing, since we're on this topic. For the Red Book,
Chris, Chris de who is a real threat to Hillary I believe,
will have a scary heart attack or maybe a little stroke or
something within the next moods in the next. I'd say 12 to 18
months,
for sure. Whoa, very. I'm all on board with that. I wouldn't even
they
won't take you know, they can just spiked his food or spray it
with some press the gas or do something. Maybe he just needs
to scare you all he needs to scare he's out of the election.
And that is something they always keep talking about. Hmm.
Yeah, I think that's a good a good read book entry. I agree.
Yeah, it's in a might have one of he should not be drinking
wine in Los Angeles, like Breitbart? Not a good idea. Yes,
care. Yeah. Also
that British a dead British guy in China who was murdered by
that woman was drinking wine, they poison Yeah, you gotta be
careful.
I have a couple of clips about Common Core. And I've saved a
couple I was gonna play on Thursday, I've saved some and
then something new came out today, which I want to play, at
least the beginning of this is now common core is the new
teaching standards that are being implemented across the
United States of good motivation. And what I found
interesting, this is a clip from Tennessee, who have I think
we're one of the front runners of this implementation of Common
Core. And what and, and, and this is a high school student,
who was speaking at some community thing, but it's
clearly rigged. There's a lot of teachers in the audience. The
whole clip will be in the show notes. But I want to play this
because he explains very eloquently in the first minute
of this clip, exactly how common core came to be. And this is,
it's almost like, someone's like, I could have written this,
but he did it and it's like, it's perfect. So a little setup
as to what Common Core is coming from this high school student in
Tennessee.
In a mere five minutes, I hope to provide insightful comments
about a variety of educational topics. I sincerely hope you
just proved the research I've compiled. Here's the history of
the Common Core in 2009, the National Governors Association
in the Council of Chief State School Officers partner with
achieve Inc, a nonprofit that received millions of funding
from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Thus, the initiative
seemed to spring from states when in reality it was contrived
by an insular group of Educational Testing executives
with only two academic content specialists, neither specialists
approved the final standards, and the English consultant Dr.
Sandra Stotsky. publicly stated she felt the standards left
students with an empty skill set lacking literary knowledge.
While educators and administrators were later
included in the validation committee and feedback groups.
They did not play a role in the actual drafting of the
standards. The product is a quote rigorous preparation for
career and college yet many educators agree that rigorous is
a buzzword these standards aren't rigorous just different
designed for industrial model of school. This is
what I really like. This is this is exactly what Common Core is
about it is to create drums, just kids who can just follow
orders and achieve certain standards, but not even really
teaching them the many thing anything, I got a producer
Brian, he sent me an email he might have sent me the link to
this clip he says Common Core sucks donkey balls. My son came
home with math homework, and I at times have literally no idea
how to help him and I have a degree as a mechanical engineer.
He is because in Common Core, you don't learn using the rote
method anymore. You don't learn long arithmetic. Instead, you do
bullcrap like number lines, fact families and number sentences.
WTF is that? I guess? Yeah. I'll just finish the email is that I
guess when he's standing in line At the registered Mickey D's he
can draw a number line to figure out what your changes by the
way, it doesn't work. He's struggling with it. As soon as I
show him the way I learned, I can see the light come on, and
he gets it. So these are apparently the new ways kids are
being taught. Math is number lines, fact families and number
sentences. I have no idea what that is John, but it doesn't
sound like the way I learned math.
Doesn't sound like math.
Well, you might want to check that out. We'll just looking up
number lines now. And I'm looking at these images where
your this is this idiotic? What is it? You'd have to see the
weather data frog jumping over these numbers. It's kind of
like, I'm just looking just a quick hit on what I'm seeing.
I'm seeing what AI is something like an abacus way of doing
math. Very non standard approach with was really weird. Number
lines. Well, what's the point? Well, is this true? Is anyone
proven that this is a better way to learn math and wrote four
times four is 16. That's Oh, god. No. Well,
I think the ship has sailed. John, this is now implemented in
almost all 50 states. I think Texas is still fighting it
although it's coming into some backdoor called something else
but but be reminded that this is mainly financed by the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation, who might have some kind of skin in
the game. Depending on
where you ask it won't be able to do anything unless you have a
computer or a tablet a surface here. Here's what was the other
one besides number lines. What was the other two?
Fact families?
And what's the last one? Number sentences,
number sentences?
I think it's just ways to remember the answers to stuff. I
don't think they're actually learning anything anymore. I
have this clip that I saved from Thursday called Common Core
brainwashing, I don't quite remember what was in it. So
let's play this while you're looking at your number
sentences.
Common Core or common failure? He's a solid B
math student. And did it go down? It went down to an F to an
F Yes, she was failing math. A group of
moms so fed up with new state education standards. They aren't
for homeschool. Instead,
all of you told your kids out of math class here. Yes, yes.
10k To 10 cassuto spoke with those parents in Hillsborough
today,
pulling your kids out of math class is a pretty big step. My
daughter's a student in went down to an app to an F Yes, she
was failing math. Math is still math. But evergreen and every
other public school in Oregon, now teach it differently using
the Common Core standards. But now they'll have to put that
into a real world example make a story out of it. The principal
expected more struggling that our teachers feel like it's the
best thing for our kids, and it's making them really have to
look much deeper into mathematics than what they've
had in the past
with number sentences. Are you kidding me? Could
it really be the best thing if nine families say that their
kids were so stressed and so distraught over their failing
grades and they pulled them out of class? You know, every okay.
Even aggressive question.
That's the voice of the hills. Right?
Well, hold on. She's, they're about to explain who it is. Oh,
my my roll it back. I should have warned you that was coming
out from the rest of question. Yeah. Yeah, that's that's like
here. Nevertheless, common question.
That's the voice of the Hillsborough school district
spokeswoman, how many parents took their kids at a math class?
We have a small group of parents that are elected to do online
math or math through another venue. So it was a very small
group, how many 1%? And that would be how many? A nine.
And this is, this is being discussed now by our Education
Secretary, Arne Duncan, and his comment on this quote, white
suburban moms are upset that Common Core shows that their
kids just aren't brilliant. What this is your United States
Secretary of Education this is what he's saying. This is very
troubling. What's going on here? Now some teachers because of
course the teachers you know, they're now being the teachers
are being graded based upon the grades these kids get, and it's
really just about teaching them a number sentences and number
lines and whatever. Some teachers have figured out how to
fix this with a new concept called flipping the clock.
Classroom.
Here's a new idea getting a lot of attention at Mercer Island
middle school that's called a flipped classroom. Instead of
lecturing in the classroom math teacher Donna Johnson records a
video lesson for students to watch at home. The next day,
they do their homework in school and Donna's there to help them.
She says this allows kids to watch the video in their own
environment without distractions, they could slow
things down, pause and watch again or fast forward.
By having a flipped classroom, I really get to know their
strengths and weaknesses. And I've seen some kids just grow
tremendously take just leaps and bounds of confidence level and
scoring better on tests.
Donna started the flipped classroom idea last year, and
now other math teachers are joining in one thing that helps
it work in the Mercer Island School District all eighth
graders are issued an iPad, so they can watch the videos and do
their homework.
They go to Bonanza everybody get your eyes but it's all about
flipping the classroom. So the kids at home, watch the video on
their iPad, and then they do their homework at school. So
this is insane. And it's just the beginning I'm afraid.
Let me give you an example of a fact family multiple
multiplication facts down here's what you can do, you draw a
triangle on on your paper. At the top of the triangle, you
have a 12 the bottom of the triangle, you have a four on the
left and a three on the right or that could be reversed I think.
And then in the middle, you have a a times sign a multiplication
sign, slash division sign and that is a fact family. Because
12 is if you multiply four times three, you get 12. If you divide
12 by four, you get three if you divide 12 by three, you get four
and if you if you multiply, but if you multiply by the top
number, obviously don't multiply by anything or divided by
anything. It's just the it's the home number. And this is somehow
valuable. And this is a fact family.
Meanwhile, it's an Illuminati sign. They're looking at the
whole day.
Yeah, especially the 12 at the top. Uh huh. Wow. Well, I don't
get the point. So you have oh, this is a fact family. So 16
would have a be 16 at the top two and eight. That could be I
don't know why you can't do four and four but okay, you can't and
that's a fact family know what you what you get out of this as
opposed to just don't get it. Okay, whatever. I quit
Bad I Think I think this is really a problem. And please
take your kids out of school. That's all I can say is if this
comments world textbooks that worked,
if your kids are in this in this common core bull crap, you've
got to take them out. I don't think that's okay. Hey, my kid
my kids too old now for this. But wow.
Yeah, well, I had this problem when I went to Cal as a chemist.
Because I had been I was at one of the in the college prep era,
they had this thing, they decided to change the this
during the new math there. But there was this thing called and
we all learn this S M student met s MSG from MIT is called
Student math study group for all the smart kids. And you learned
this form of mathematics that when you went to back to like,
you went to a university and took a regular calculus course,
you, I got a D, you can't pass it. Because your whole your
brain has been screwed up by this other methodology. And you
go you and then you go to normal, because they're not
going to start pushing Common Core at Brown University, I can
assure you where they teach you crazy stuff, and you won't be
able to get to college. This is a way to keep you from getting
your kids through college.
Is that when do we want to put that in the book? Is that that
that's your conclusion.
That's well now the more I think about it, and I look at these
these diagrams and all this, this isn't anything you can you
can't make the jump from this sort of whatever it is type of
study to college because in college, they teach traditional
stuff. Yeah. And that's, you know, what they do and you
better have the traditional stuff in the background, you
know, a step previous to this
is this, or is this all part of this stem thing that I that
bothers me to
science, technology, engineering, engineering and
math STEM.
STEM, I got an email from Jeremy, which kind of fits into
this. Hey, Adam, I've been following with interest, your
numerous comments about setting up your own email server and
related systems as well as the need to teach our kids how these
sorts of systems work. And I really think you have a good
point. I have an 18 month old son although I don't have to
worry about it. email, Facebook, etc just yet, I have started to
think about it, I think it'd be great if you and John made some
time to talk a little more in depth about this and maybe give
the listeners some actual direction on how they can
themselves become more informed and how we can teach our kids.
You guys have a captive audience, I really think would
be great. Okay. So here's what here's my thoughts on this.
First of all, I think this common core is essentially,
well, you say it's to AI. And you're probably right, by the
way, it's to keep kids out of college, because we need a whole
generation of people who can run the, the machine. And that's
essentially, you know, there's a triangle. And if you want 12
units to roll off, you have to press the four button and a
three button, it doesn't seem like much else to me, other than
robot training. Would you agree? Well, I'm
looking at let me just go on back up just a second, because
I'm still looking at these some of these images. So there is a
sorry, there is a picture here of this, uh, you have to look at
this, we should put this in the show notes. Okay, this is one of
the things you would do if you were a kid in the fifth grade,
you would do flying with fact families. And there's ABCD, EFG,
there's a there's four is 12 questions, and they show you the
three each has three numbers, and you have to figure out the
fact family. And the fact found, it's so obvious, just use the
last number as the top of the whatever, if it's a pyramid,
that's the big number, that's what counts and the other two
just multiplied by each other. So you're supposed to
extrapolate all this. It's just stupid. You could do this whole
thing without knowing anything. Yeah. I think that's the point.
I mean, you could just you could, you could be brain dead.
And if you were just told, take the biggest number and put it at
the top and put the two numbers below it at the bottom and then
put a this sign and that sign next to boom, you're done. So I
don't have to know anything.
That's what this is about. John, I think and the 45 of the 50
states have implemented this. And we know about the you know,
the governor's council or whatever that organisation is
called who rolled this out? It's been it's I think it's very, I
think this is real, this is crazy, is what I think it is.
And it's meant to build bots. Make your children bots,
now these kids aren't going to be happy?
Well, they did. All they're gonna do is just push the
buttons, whatever they have to do in and
they've and the families that say that their kids are
depressed because it's so difficult. It's not difficult.
It's I think it's so easy. If you just go by the formulas that
you can create for yourself, oh, I can do that. You know, I can
put the number at the top and the two numbers at the bottom.
As opposed to the kids who are going what is the point of this?
Perfect.
I think you and I should write a book, a giblet rather than
ebook. And it should be essentials your kid needs to
know in order to survive the coming robot edification of
America's youth.
Yeah, there's that. Yeah, we should. Yeah,
I think it's a good idea. And it should be some really simple
stuff. And I remember when I'm sorry, I have to use a so I make
the mistake of saying member a lot. And it has, I should be
saying remember.
Oh, you have been saying, you know, this is interesting,
because I've never noticed you as a member.
One of our producers has been pointing this out to me
specifically. So I want to catch myself and say remember,
remember when I was in school when I was a kid, I'm starting
to learn how to say, John, we learned a kid, we learned basic
programming language. Yeah. Yeah.
And that was a part of what you did. And it was it was cool. You
know, we learned basic. And I think there's a couple of
knowledge of both the logic was logical. Yes. And it also helped
you to deep learn to define mistakes and debug because it
had to be right at the end.
Although my code was always pretty, pretty uniform and
simpler was 10 print. You suck 20 Go to 10 and that was pretty
much the code I did that didn't we all but at least he gave you
some yeah give you some skills Manning on this. This is not
okay. This triangle fact family crap. This is what we this is
more dangerous.
It's a fact family.
There's a jingle waiting for that. Don't you think? Fact
family
back family fact family? I don't know. Yeah, there's probably one
that somebody could sing.
Anyway, I think this is more dangerous than al Qaeda, quite
honestly.
Well, maybe that's what they're talking about. When they say the
danger is worse than it ever was. Yes. Because of this, this
thing. Well, we'll keep an eye on it, obviously, but it seems
like it's too late to sell it sounds like it's got slipped in
and earliest kid in high school. He's had some observational
skills. It should be a no agenda listener who just nails it.
Yeah.
There are other people
graduating. He's very probably graduates out of there. I'm
done. I'm done. I'm out. But there are there are meanwhile,
the Chinese aren't learning this stuff. No, no.
Ah, let's see, what else do we have? Oh, you know, a throwback
to or call back to Bitcoin member Cody Wilson. Does this
name remind you of anything? No. Okay. Cody Wilson was the guy
who everybody was up in arms about in Austin, Texas. And he
created the first 3d printed gun. Oh, Cody Wilson and I and I
just guns are so hard to come by. And I think I went on record
and said, This guy is a promo guy, he's a piece of PR guy is a
shill. I'm not quite sure what he's doing other than promoting
the war on printers. Because of course, you know, we can have 3d
printers printing up cool stuff. And guns is used as an example.
But, you know, we can't ruin American manufacturing by people
having doing this at home. And I think that I was right about him
just being a PR guy because Cody Wilson, who was kind of silent
for a while, is back. And he has a new product. Now if you were a
shill, John, and you were out there just to jump on any
bandwagon possible and doing Kickstarters and raising money
for crazy stuff. And the 3d printer stuff had kind of come
and gone and you'd raise your 50,000 and you're moving on what
would you pick in today's world?
I don't know wrist watches wearable computers is the next
big hot thing.
Oh, come on. What's the big hype? We talked about on the
show all the time?
I was probably I'm blinded by it. I don't know what Bitcoin
baby.
No.
Do Would you mind if I played his Kickstarter video for his
new project?
Please play?
Maybe you thought you'd act differently? Maybe you thought
you'd see it come at the moment. And it's time to make a choice.
The United States imagines the power to regulate the world's
first great digital currency. Bitcoin
that's a cyber currency. So how do we get to it
to provide a framework for its existing technology that
questions all previous frameworks? Straight Jack
helping United States as a group of lobbyists and corporations
calling themselves the foundation
by the way the foundation Isn't that for something from a book
or something like the founder isn't that from a movies
sounds like like yeah, like the foundation it's the code of
foundation but it gets better it
get what listen to the sentences this by the way. This is almost
like Brad Pitt Fight Club this video is really it's highly
produced. It's it's just excellent, I have to say, but
people keep your bitcoins away from this guy.
The missions of performance to both agree with and maintaining
independence from
a power but you can't have it both ways. On System is an
international group of activists, developers led by
concerned by the Foundation, centralised development and
advocacy. They're developing a crypto wallet that runs on a
completely independent software stack. Okay, write down
these the Write this down. It runs on a completely independent

This wallet runs on the back end lipid coin, the command tools

It's great.
Help us make this implementation a line in the sand.
The technology now, we are all being intercepted permanently.
This is this is a state changed.
My personal bank accounts was shut down and I was blacklisted
from having a personal bank account. It doesn't matter is it
to use Bitcoin and now we're hearing stories of people's

were comfortable operating in that environment? Because they
felt that they enjoyed complete anonymity. Are you watching

If we don't know you tweet and the sooner you're willing to
make a choice there's a system approaching perfection just in
time for our disappeared so
Scott every meme imagine he's got he's got Atlas Shrugged
memes before disappearance, so this thing's got Nigel Farraj in
the background screaming something he's got
the Sonjay in there everybody. And this is his Kickstarter is
called Dark wallet. Which reminds me of dark mail I little
follow up on the dark mail guy, this is the lava Bit Guy that
everyone's coming over here, let me tell so one of our producers
is a lawyer. And and he's actually very close not to this
case, particularly he understands a lot of this. And
he and because you know, we were talking about the love of IT guy
and you know, what's this warrant about? etc. So he went
he with me, actually, but he sent me a lot of information
went through all of the documents about love of it. And
he said, Here's what the problem is. This Lavabit guy was
actually taunting the government. He wanted a lot of
noise and a trend, the government was really confused,
like, why is this guy keep doing all this stuff. And he's been
instigating these court cases, mainly because what a hit that
this is the conclusion that our producer came to and I agree
with it is the love of the guy is embarrassed, because his so
called super secure service is rely relied on one master key.
And so there was of course, not an any document nothing in all
these court cases says that the government wanted to look at the
Snowden email account. There is no evidence of that. And I
maintain although this is just you know his word against mine,
I maintained that the guy made that up, there was a warrant two
months prior to the request for the the master key a warrant for
child pornography that might have been running on his server,
or at least someone who had an account who was involved in
child pornography. And they complied with the warrant and
sent them whatever they needed to have. But the problem with
the so called super secure system that the genius Edward
Snowden was using for his super secret account was that one SSH
key could unlock all the accounts on the server. And this
is not discussed by anyone in your great technology press. And
this is what this guy has been making all this noise about.
It's just Oh the government or the trending word horrible.
Let's do dark man. But please don't look over here and don't
see how incredibly insecure my system was to start with to have
one master key for every single account. So I'm putting this guy
in the Cody Wilson bucket of bullcrap dark wallet, dark mail.
What is this? Don't be fooled.
Yeah, I think anytime you see the word dark now that's code
dark for scales where the dark casts a dark podcast and we're
underway. We're gonna get some money do a dark podcast I don't
know buddy will be able to figure out how to download.
We're on the deck. Right? We have a dark podcast now.
Our podcast is so cool. It's dark. You can't you have to know
where to find it. You can't just listen to our show no way
All right time for the clip. Let's as we wind up the show,
John, what do you have for us?
A couple of cool things if you want to start off with the well
I'm gonna finish with I know it's Sunday so today means high
school USA but but wait for the end. Yeah, let's start with the
ervil fraud going on in Canada herbal fraud and what's
happening
some herbal supplements may not be what they seen researchers in
Canada to use DNA barcoding to test 44 different supplements.
They found some are often diluted or replaced entirely
with fillers like soy bean and rice 1/3 showed no trace of the
plant advertised on the bottle. Only another plant in its place.
That's good to know. Yeah. Perfect. So there's a
breastfeeding controversy going on in this kind of universal we
have two stories one breastfeeding in the UK followed
by America and tell me if you can kind of spot the difference
between breastfeeding in the UK for starters, and then America
plan back to back.
There is an interesting government programme underway
for new mothers in Great Britain in an effort to boost the
practice of breastfeeding among low income women. Moms are now
being offered money to breastfeed their newborns. Each
mom can now collect $200 For the first six weeks of breastfeeding
more if they continue to breastfeed for up to six months.
The goal is to de stigmatise the practice in poor areas.
Researchers say the United Kingdom has one of the worst
breastfeeding rates in the world. One mother is caught
between a rock and a hard place a Pennsylvania judge recently
told her that she had to stop breastfeeding her 10 month old
daughter so the little girl could stay with her father for
two days a week as part of a custody agreement. But the mom
says there's nothing agreeable about it.
He didn't say something along the lines like well, she should
be on formula or why isn't she on formulas? You shouldn't be
able to have formula at 10 months old. I'm feeling
frustrated, hurt. I'm trying to keep myself from crying. It's
very emotional.
All right, what is this? Is there a new Dark breast milk
market in happening? It
just seems the UK heavy. What is the government telling women
what to do or not to do? So essentially, that's what we're
listening to here. Okay, here we go. Snoring in Brazil, this is
good news for you listeners, snorers.
Avoiding salts could be the way to cure snoring. At least that's
what Brazilian researchers want to prove they started a study
last month, hoping to uncover a connection between salt and
sleep apnea. Researchers believe excessive salt intake builds up
fluid in the body, and then the fluid shifts to a person's neck
when they're lying down. Some patients will take a diuretic
pill and others will switch to a low salt diet to see what works
to treat sleep apnea.
Well, there you go. The war on assault is on.
Again. We're back. Yeah. Meanwhile, in France, these the
truckers have decided to put this this is actually better on
film than than this or with this report. But you have to see
these guys 10,000 trucks will take to the highway, you know
and clog all the lanes and then stop.
They've started Yeah, this is News here. This is big news.
Next
another weekend. Another huge protest here in France. 1000s of
freight trucks blocked major highways and a massive go slow.
Less is part of ongoing protests over the French government's
planned eco tax, which would slap levies on heavy goods
vehicles. Protesters in Britain in Northwest France have become
known for their red bonnets. Well, they've been taking action
and those protests have been spreading across the country.
Excellent. Yeah, the French say that. The French are smart man.
They know how to do it. I don't take any crap from people.
We used to be able to do stuff with the Teamsters. We get
together and do something. No, no. They arrest every everybody.
We throw people in jail. We need more prisoners.
I have something for for the clip Blitz. This is Larry Flynt.
He is publisher of a Hustler magazine quite a hero. And he
has said that he is not interested in seeing the guy who
shot him the one up in a wheelchair because he was shot
by some crazy guy. He doesn't want to see the guy put to get
put to death. He says it does no good and he actually has a
little call back to something that I have said for many, many
years that there is a reality show in some of these
punishments just waiting to happen and the Gitmo nation East
people in the UK knew what it was about in the 18th century a
part
of you. Is there a part of you for which it is difficult to
separate that long held political belief of yours from?
I would guess an understandable anger desire for vengeance
against the guy who put you in a wheelchair for life?
No, because I'm very pragmatic. You know, if you're a victim,
someone who's committed a crime like murder something I can
understand why you see someone paid to death before you really
say, take time to think about the fact that our system was
supposed to be about justice, not Benjen. And when someone
sets out to commit a crime, like murder, medical stopping think
well am I gonna get life in prison or am I gonna get the
death penalty if I do this? That's not the way they think.
It's not a death. It's not a deterrent. It never has been.
And you know, in England, the 18th century pickpocketing was a
capital offence and they used to hang the pickpockets every
Saturday in a town square. And while we were doing it, people
will be going through the crowd picking the pockets of the
people watching the pickpockets getting hang. So I think the
British caught on very early.
Yes. This is a great idea. What happened to those days when we
would hang people publicly? I am such a proponent of
reality TV show then we can quit this gig
Yeah, we could kill people on television have crowds you know
the whole All thing is work when
do ratings do rating how many points does that God did it
shake enough
take us home Johnny. What do we have high school USA
star with high school USA clip number one,
Connors. I'm sorry. I can't figure a way out of this mess
like I usually do.
Hey, Brad, would you mind punching me just one last time?
Sure. glas T, of course. I can't believe I'm gonna diverge. Last
week, we weren't looking. I totally popped your cherry okay,
this is a
you all heard me say freeze. Right? The murderer so ugly.
Well, that depends on your political convictions here. See,
that isn't his face. It's a mask
of President Bush Senior.
And this is on broadcast television.
On Fox. This is the real Fox we're looking at here. So just
Joey just don't have nothing but you know, a lot of kinds of sick
humour. Let's play. Let's have a little anti Semite stuff to
it. This is this clip number two.
Clip two. Yes.
Is our awesome oh, that's not even the half of it. You can do
all sorts of things with the eyes. Did you know that you can
blink them, enrol them and wink them and close them and make
them real wide or real? 20 Art Night? Do you know so much
about?
Yeah, you seem unusually confident on our little field
trip to the early 90s? Aren't you worried about getting an
F not this time? I'm used to not using technology being half
black half Jewish I take part in a cool ancient ritual called
Shabbat every other week and eat what's your bond is the Jewish
day of wrath when God doesn't want you to use electricity for
24 hours. Oh, am you you are so boring.
Like giving someone your full attention? This is the worst.
Alright guys. Oh, M do that.
