Adam Curry: Okay, Frenchie. Adam
curry Jhansi Devorah 920 23 This
Year Award winning chemo nation
media assassination episode
1571.
Unknown: This is no agenda to
many your
Adam Curry: cameras and
microphones and broadcasting
live from the heart of the Texas
no country here in FEMA Region
number six in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry
John C Dvorak: from Northern
Silicon Valley where we're all
wondering why our cluster bombs
a good idea. I'm John C. Dvorak.
Unknown: Buzzkill.
Adam Curry: This has got to be
the funniest news story of the
week. Because it's not just
cluster bombs. It's cluster
bombs with a very low dud rate.
John C Dvorak: Yes, that's
right. Every of the dud rate
goes through the bomb cluster
and make How do you test? How do
you test this? I'm asking, well,
let's listen to Apple. Watch
them all up to see what the dead
rate was.
Adam Curry: This is Adam Smith,
a Democrat from I believe
Washington.
Unknown: I mean, in March last
year, as UN Ambassador
criticized Russia for its
deployment of cluster munitions
saying they had no place on the
battlefield quite enough about
turn by the Biden
administration. This, the
Russian cluster munitions have
about a 30 to 40% death rate.
They're spreading unexploded
ordnance all over Ukraine, the
weapons that we're sending have
a death rate of just over 1%,
which is a dramatic difference.
Yeah. And oh, yeah,
Adam Curry: foam finger number
one baby, we got a dramatically
lowered dud rate of Washington
as a very high dud rate,
Washington DC this, this? This
is unbelievable statistic. And
why and why? Oh, Adam Smith
explains again, on the BBC. Why
do we have to send the Oso loved
cluster bombs with low duck rate
to Ukraine, we would much
Unknown: rather not have
introduced this weapon, which is
why we didn't do it until we got
to the point where it was
basically the only ammo that we
have left to offer them.
Interesting. It's interesting to
say that the only ammo we have
left. I mean, I mean, could it
just be Could it just be that
this is a bridging operation,
and at such time where the
United States is able to supply
more shells to Ukraine, these
cluster munitions will not be
necessary? Yes, thank
you. And actually, I put that
poorly. They corrected me
properly. And I appreciate that.
We are in a gap. We don't have
they still have other
ammunition. At the current pace
of battle, they will have to
begin to severely restrict its
use and eventually run out if
these weapons aren't used. And
the other thing that we are
doing all of our allies, the 53
nations that are working
together on this are ramping up
production of other ordinates.
And yes, that would be the plan
to get back to that. And the
bigger plan would be to force
Russia to the peace table so we
can end the war entirely.
bomb them, bomb them and bomb
them again.
Adam Curry: Yeah, baby. Oh, it's
a way to force
John C Dvorak: force rushing
rushing to the peace table. You
gotta forces Alinsky to the
peace table.
Adam Curry: I mean, these
things, all we've ever heard is
how horrible people are used
these things.
John C Dvorak: This somebody
must have a clip of Jen Psaki
when she was the Press Secretary
saying that cost that according
to the president cluster bombs
are a war crime. Oh, wow. I
Adam Curry: wish
John C Dvorak: I don't think we
have it. Well reasonably run
that clip.
Adam Curry: What do I have
McCain here for some reason.
What's this McCain clip what is
this from? This is from 2015.
Let's have a little listen.
Unknown: Again. This week. We've
seen the skies over Donetsk.
It's suspected that it could be
incendiary munitions, which
international conventions banned
from use in civilian populated
areas. I think July they were
reportedly dropped from cities
controlled by anti government
forces. Well, international
observers have previously called
the Ukrainian army using
prohibited weapons. The use of
cluster bombs in populated areas
was confirmed by the humans
right. In October. The watchdogs
report stress that this could
amount to war crimes. But for
some US politicians kyiv's use
of cluster bombs he's
justifiable
we would have provided them with
a weapons and he wouldn't have
had to use cluster bombs is
partially our fault.
Adam Curry: It's the same thing
it's a repeat to repeat
John C Dvorak: our fall by the
way our fault to be would have
to give him cluster bombs if
we'd give him more above
everything else because exactly
what the guy from Washington
said
Adam Curry: except that was 2015
and McCain was still alive.
Yeah. Okay, let's listen to
Jason budget
John C Dvorak: douche by the way
getting douche bag is running
our country. All now there's an
Unknown: astute observation.
First, we are security
assistance decision on Ukraine's
needs on the ground, they got
needs on the ground baby. And
Ukraine needs artillery to
sustain its offensive and
defensive operations. Artillery
is at the core of this conflict.
Ukraine is firing 1000s of
rounds a day to defend against
Russian efforts to advance and
also to support its own efforts
to retake its sovereign
territory. We have provided
Ukraine with a historic amount
of unitary artillery rounds,
Adam Curry: unitary artillery
rounds, doesn't sound like
anything good. And we are
ramping
John C Dvorak: up unitary, what
he means is single, single Yeah,
not cluster. But he has to use
the word unit, whatever it
Adam Curry: was unitary
artillery bombs,
Unknown: and we are ramping up
domestic production of these
rounds. We've already seen
substantial increases in
production, but this process
will continue to take time. And
it will be critical to provide
Ukraine with a bridge of
supplies, while our domestic
production is ramped up. We will
not leave Ukraine defenseless at
any point in this conflict.
Adam Curry: So because and we
shouldn't even have these
things, I guess, because you
know, it's mean to kill people
in different ways. Unitary
killing fine cluster killing,
not good. So they've got all
these all these excuses. And the
main one is we're out of we're
out of ammo, sorry. Oh, no one,
no one wants to want to attack
us. Second.
Unknown: Russia has been using
clustered munitions since the
start of this war to attack
Ukraine. Russia has been using
cluster munitions with high dud
or fairly high DoD between 30.
Here we go again, in this
environment, Ukraine has been
requesting cluster munitions in
order to defend its own
sovereign territory. The cluster
munitions that we would provide
have done rates far below what
Russia is doing, is providing
enough higher than 2.5% Oh, wait
Adam Curry: a minute, it was 1%.
Now it's 2.5%. I think we have a
dud rate issue here. What is our
actual dud rate? I think that
should be the topic of
conversation for the entire
week. And third,
Unknown: we are closely
coordinating with Ukraine, as it
has requested these munitions.
Ukraine is committed to post
constant t minus a
John C Dvorak: what I'm just
saying, what this whole
discussion and the depth of it
is pathetic. These things should
be we're like one of the two or
three countries in the world
that refuse to sign a treaty
that's never used these weapons
because they're junk. They're
done. They're bad for civilian
populations in the debate,
right? No matter what it is, is
a bunch of does over there.
People step on it. I like mines
Adam Curry: for this this man.
Yeah, go ahead. And what you
were saying and
John C Dvorak: oh, I said it.
Oh, did I get cut off? Yeah, I
guess so. Good.
Unknown: Ukraine is committed to
post conflict, demining efforts
to mitigate any potential harm
to civilians. And this will be
necessary regardless of whether
the United States provides these
motions. Because of Russia's
widespread use of cluster
munitions,
Adam Curry: they use cluster
munitions so we can use class
70s. There's a lot of
information going on about the
class of munitions. Here's CBS
Unknown: terrifying, lethal and
highly effective Ukraine is no
stranger. Right. Both sides have
been accused of deploying them
since Russia launched its
invasion, but they did it first
with devastating effect. It's a
weapon that breaks up mid air as
it approaches its target,
injecting a number of smaller
explosives or bomblets bomb
lettering indiscriminately
across an area that can stretch
to the size of several football
fields. Most of those explosives
detonate, but not all posing a
threat to the civilian
population long after the war is
ending, especially children.
Here in heart Kyiv investigators
have built a mountain of Russian
munitions and evidence of their
evidence and billionaires
evidence. These are just some of
the Russian cluster bombs that
have been recovered here in the
Hartke region and this dude,
Adam Curry: are we in middle
school? I mean, that's what look
I have evidence that they use
the bomblets so we can use the
bomblets
Unknown: is an example of a
Detonated Bomb lit which would
have been packed with explosives
Adam Curry: somehow bomb would
just doesn't sound like it take
you could take your leg off or
anything does it's like it's
it's a bomb omelet. It's like an
omelet with
John C Dvorak: each one of
them's a hand grenade basically.
Unknown: Ukraine says it needs
the help in a stalled counter
offensive against entrench
backing the White House
John C Dvorak: stop the clip.
How about how come this isn't
being discussed more as well? I
didn't hear it was a stalled
counter offensive it was stalled
Adam Curry: because they were
waiting for the bomblets. The
DoD rate was too high. stalled.
This is bold because they told
us it was well underway. Part of
the drones was was part of the
offensive. Then the member that
crazy, that crazy brigade that
also had a media event.
John C Dvorak: And although
never Wagner
Adam Curry: no, no, that wasn't
Wagner. It was it was.
John C Dvorak: There was some
other brigade You're right asmof
Adam Curry: No, no, no, no, it
was yet another Isaac Asimov,
the Asimov. The asmof guys are
gone. There's nothing left of
them. BOCES
Unknown: Ukraine says it needs
the help in a stalled counter
offensive against entrenched
Russian troops backing the White
House's argument that the use of
the controversial weapons is on
Ukraine's watch.
Ukraine would not be using these
munitions in some foreign land
if this is their country they're
defending. These are their
citizens they're protecting. The
prosecutor's
office told us trainee military
will have to do all they can to
avoid their use in urban areas.
Now this latest aid package $800
million brings the US total to
more than $41 billion since the
invasion began
Adam Curry: now bull crap I'm
sick and tired of these numbers.
I've counted over 140 billion.
This is not true. Oh now it's
only 40 No, we've been giving
him so much.
John C Dvorak: It's 37 it says
800 800 million a pop
Adam Curry: it's bomblets we got
done right.
John C Dvorak: Now what do we
have a bunch of stockpile of
these things? What are we doing
with them?
Adam Curry: Well, NBC Meet the
Press had a two parter Courtney
Unknown: explained to me, what
about these cluster bombs make
them so controversial? And how
soon can you see them in
Ukraine?
Adam Curry: Well, unlike other
bombs, these kill people,
Unknown: so it's the dud rate is
really the drag nations more
than 100 have actually outlawed
these munitions. What that means
is, these are ammunition that
when it explodes, it releases a
bunch of small little bombs or
munitions, called bomb lists.
main missions one is anti armor.
Adam Curry: I'd like a truckstop
bomber, please. So it's a shape
Unknown: charge that essentially
can pierce an up armored
vehicle. The other is anti Pro.
Adam Curry: That's a new term an
up armored vehicle not just
armored vehicle an up armored
vehicle. This is some this is
some warfare talk we're getting
here from NBC Meet the Press
Unknown: two main missions, one
is anti armor. So it's a shape
charge that essentially can
pierce an up armored vehicle.
The other is antipersonnel. That
is what we often hear military
talking about frags or
fragmentations. Actually, those
are the munitions that explode
into even smaller pieces. Think
about that when it impacts the
body. Ryan Of course it has the
potential to injure or kill
anyone in its path. So these
munitions when they release
these bomblets, depending on the
type of cluster munitions, some
of them have a very high death
rate, meaning that the bomblets
don't immediately explode. These
have the potential to to cause
danger, catastrophic destruction
to someone, a civilian, even a
child who may have stumbled upon
them. Oh, hello,
Adam Curry: Oh, hold on a
second, NBC MEET THE PRESS HOLD
THE PRESS bomblets might be bad
for children's health.
Unknown: Weeks, months, even
years later, that's one of the
reasons that human rights groups
and many and many nations have
have said condemned the use of
these sorts of in the
battlefield, I should say, the
US says that the version that
they're going to send has a very
low dud rate somewhere in the
neighborhood of one and a half
to about two and a half percent.
What is it as opposed to some of
the other ones that we've seen?
According to the US the ones
that the Russians are using?
Have somewhere in the
neighborhood of 30 to 40%? Oh,
yeah, Russian
Adam Curry: bombers are crap.
All right. They're
John C Dvorak: the brushes don't
know what the dangerous ones it
may create.
Adam Curry: Yeah, the bomblets
are turning the frags gay. I
mean, this is an insane
discussion they're having
they're just cavalierly
discussing and weapons that are
outlawed by 100 countries. But
no, it's for Ukraine. Yeah,
Unknown: according you mentioned
that there are other countries
who are opposed to the use of
this type of weapon. Some of
them are NATO countries. And of
course, the President is going
to be with some of these NATO
countries next week. Will he get
some pushback from these
countries?
Adam Curry: No, no, because he
has a 100% dud rate. There's no
problem
Unknown: decision. And not just
NATO countries. But I mean,
we're talking about the closest
US allies who are part of NATO
who are opposed to the use of
these weapons. Now, the US
before they announced this
today, they spoke to most of
these countries, many of them,
they reached out, they gave them
a heads up that this was coming.
The officials have been speaking
to here say, look, the country
these these allies have said
they're against the US but they
don't expect any widespread
public pushback on it. There's a
real threat ignition here have
exactly what we heard from
President Biden just moments ago
that Ukraine needs ammunition.
These have the ability to
essentially fill a bridge while
where the Ukraine right now has
a real deficit in artillery
rounds particularly 155 rounds.
This will be something that they
can use in that place while the
US and other nations really ramp
up production of the artillery
rounds so they can keep Ukraine
in the
Adam Curry: fight 155 rounds
well now can you shoot the
bomblets the cluster bombs from
the same 155 millimeter cannon
seems likely what do you oh wow
these look these look bad these
hot these are the howitzers the
155155 That's
John C Dvorak: the one that
invested before the Warriors
made a lot of money
Adam Curry: and so cluster
cluster shells I wonder what the
hunt can you shoot those out of?
John C Dvorak: doesn't really
say as a bomb as a shell
Adam Curry: me Okay, so you
shoot it like a mortar? I don't
know what this is just it's
disturbing. This is disturbing.
We are the biggest eight holes
in the universe right now. Do we
not see that? I mean, we see it
but and this is just bad.
John C Dvorak: I have a series
of clips.
Adam Curry: Ah, is this the girl
stuff?
John C Dvorak: No, no, no. Okay.
No, no, girl girl. That's good.
That's good. No, no, no, what
you'll get there was a Ukraine
clip.
Adam Curry: Okay, good.
John C Dvorak: This guy's name
is Shaheed Bolson. Actually
Shaheed King Bolson. Don't ever
read about him before I play
these clips. Because this guy is
an operative for someone. I
don't know who he's an asset or
something. I don't know. I can't
figure it out. Because when you
listen, listen to him. He sounds
like a Middle East expert.
Adam Curry: He has a Twitter
account. Who just saying
John C Dvorak: and well, let's
just just listen to the first
clip and then I and I explained
who this guy is this Ukraine
analysis Shahid one,
Unknown: let me talk for a
moment about Poland in relation
to the US proxy war against
Europe popularly known as the
Ukraine war. As I've stated
since the outbreak of the war.
In my opinion, the Ukraine war
is a US proxy war not against
Russia, but against Europe. It
is the launch pad for a
continent wide destabilization
project that will create
conflict zone conditions across
Europe, it will divide the EU
against itself, it will D
industrialize the continent and
turn it into another laboratory
for the imposition of severe
neoliberal austerity policies
that will wipe out all except
the largest private sector
players and basically refute
allies Europe. Now Poland
appears to have been selected by
the United States to act as
their hub of operations for
implementing this program. But
before I get into that, let's go
back to one of the earliest
examples of this type of
project, the Dirty Wars in
Central and South America in the
1980s. When I was growing up, I
was always interested in the
news and current affairs and
world events and so on. And the
evening news every night was
dominated by stories of savagery
in places like Nicaragua, El
Salvador, Guatemala and
Argentine uncle Don wars, death
squads, abductions, torture, and
all forms of brutality
proliferated the entire region.
Now, all of this was
orchestrated out of the American
Embassy in Honduras, under the
management of then US Ambassador
John Negroponte, whom locals
referred to as Mr. Death Squad.
Honduras had the largest US
Embassy, they had the biggest TV
station, and the country became
the staging ground for a
regional destabilization project
that continued throughout the
1980s.
Adam Curry: Wow, okay. All
right, hold on. I'm just gonna
give it to you upfront, because
I know what's going to happen. I
can just give it to you right up
front. This is dynamite. This of
course, it's so obvious. Now.
This is a complete
destabilization of Europe. And
we're going to squash them like
a bug like a boat on
John C Dvorak: the EU, as our
friend Nuland said,
Adam Curry: oh goodness,
John C Dvorak: if we go back to
that, and we listen to this
clip, and we listen to the FT
EU, we start to understand what
might actually be going on.
Adam Curry: We should just know
not everyone understands this
because they weren't around when
we played this the first time in
2014. This is when the US was
installing a new government into
Ukraine. And Victoria Nuland was
caught with well was recorded it
high quality,
John C Dvorak: very high quality
by the Russians obvious on a
phone
Adam Curry: call. Always she was
talking to her compatriots who I
think was Was he the ambassador
at the time? Not sure ambassador
and maybe but they were
discussing you know who we got
to put in? Yeah Klich no
clutches no good we got up that
guy and yeah we can have Biden
come out here and bless the deal
He'll kiss the babies it'll all
be good Biden by then we got the
Biden come in and and then it
was like well you know they're
not gonna like what we're doing
the EU but and then she just
said that fuck the EU and there
you have it with great disdain
and yes we play that clip again.
It's in there somewhere Well No,
I know of course I can find it.
Newland, here we go for a little
bit until we're tired of it.
Unknown: What do you think?
I think we're in play. The
Klitschko pieces, obviously the
complicated electron here,
especially the announcement of
him as deputy prime minister and
you've seen some of my notes on
the troubles in the marriage
right now. So we're trying to
get a read really fast on where
he is on listen
Adam Curry: to these these terms
they use. Were in play. Yeah,
like we got a little trouble
here on the marriage because
they're just they're just this
like shotgun wedding, we were
fusing everything together
handing out cookies
Unknown: stuff. But I think your
argument to him, which you'll
need to make, I think that's the
next phone call we want to set
up is exactly the one you made
to yachts. And I'm glad you
Adam Curry: said seosten yoke,
who later did become prime
minister for a moment or put him
on
Unknown: the spot on where he
sits in this scenario. And I'm
very glad he said what he said
in response.
John C Dvorak: Oh, we should
also mention that Klitschko is
currently the mayor, Mayor of
Adam Curry: ukef. Key.
Unknown: Good. So I don't think
we should go into the
government. I don't think it's
necessary. I don't think it's a
good idea.
Adam Curry: So I just make it
not happen. That's how that's
how democratically elected
countries work. Victoria Nuland
says, I don't think he should go
in and he doesn't.
Unknown: Yeah, I mean, I guess
Adam Curry: he's not agreeing by
the way.
Unknown: You think in terms of
him not going into the
government just let him sort of
stay out and do his political
homework and stuff. I'm just
thinking in terms of sort of the
process moving ahead. We want to
keep the moderate Democrats
together the problem is going to
be tiny book and his guys know
tiny man, you know, I'm sure
that's part of what Janna COVID
is calculating on all of this.
Adam Curry: Jana COVID was, was
that the guy that we're putting
in it was the guy was going out?
I can't remember where he was
the guy going out I think it was
Unknown: I think yards is the
guy who's got the economic
experience the governing
experience. He's He's the gut
you know, what he needs is
clutch and tiny book on the
outside he needs to be talking
to them four times a week.
Adam Curry: Now see now actually
not just putting people into
government but but arranging
their agenda,
John C Dvorak: doing their
calendar for the calendar, you
know, this is a Democrat report.
This is the democratic demo
monetary that we're saving for
democracy democracy.
Unknown: I just think cleats
going in? He's gonna be at that
level, working for Yatseniuk.
It's just not gonna work.
Adam Curry: Okay, what do you
think John? Not gonna work? I
think just not gonna work.
Political homework on the
outside? Good. What
Unknown: do you want us to try
to set up a call with him? Is
the next step.
My understanding from that call,
but you tell me was that the big
three? We're going into their
own meeting? And that yeah, I
was gonna offer in that context.
Three weeks, you know, three
plus one conversation or three
plus two with you? Is that not
how you understood it? No, I
think I mean, that's what he
proposed. But I think just
knowing the dynamic that's been
with them where Klitschko has
been the top dog, he's gonna
take a while to show up for
whatever meeting they've got.
And he's probably talking to his
guys at this point. So I think
you reaching out directly to him
helps with a personality
management among the three and
this is
Adam Curry: literally how we
used to pitch like, you know,
Gillette, all right, you talk to
you talk to your guy, and I'll
talk to my guy and you work him
from the back end and we'll get
the big three or maybe three
plus two, we'll get him into the
meeting. We'll pitch them on
with a PowerPoint and it will be
good to go
Unknown: and it gives you also a
chance to move fast on all this
stuff and put us behind you
behind it before they all sit
down and he
Adam Curry: Oh yeah, let's move
fast before they figured out
what we how we've hoodwinked
them, he explains why he
doesn't. This is good to review.
There's I can see there's trolls
who have never heard this
recording. They have
John C Dvorak: no 2014 So it's a
bit it's a bit like nine years
ago it is
Unknown: okay, I'm happy Why
don't you reach out to him and
see if he wants to talk before
after
Adam Curry: all right. How do we
put a bow bow on this? Vicki?
How do we wrap this all up?
Well,
Unknown: thanks. Okay, I've
now written Oh, one more wrinkle
for you. Joe
Adam Curry: wrinkle wrinkle
standby. Jeff, I got a wrinkle.
Yeah, I
Unknown: can't remember if I
told you this, or if I only told
Washington this
Adam Curry: that Yeah. because
you know you're not in the loop
on everything, Jeff just so you
know, when I talked to
Unknown: Jeff Feltman this
morning, he had a new name for
the UN guy, Robert Serry, did I
read that this morning? Yeah, I
saw that. He's now gotten both
salary and Bonnke moon to agree
that salary could come in Monday
or Tuesday
Adam Curry: all restaurant they
had Bunky moon and on the deal,
the Secretary General of the UN
to bless the deal, punky Moon
will come in. They guys have
dead anyway, just Whoa, they
didn't even speak English. Just
let them mumble. Okay.
Unknown: So that would be great.
I think to help glue this thing
and have the UN help glue it.
Yeah,
Adam Curry: have the UN help
glue it because that's what's
good glue, glue it
Unknown: and you know,
the EU. Yeah, exactly.
And I think we've got to do
something to make it stick to
exactly.
Adam Curry: Let's just go back
for a second. So she's saying,
we'll have the we'll have the UN
glue it because clearly the
United European Union is like
what are you guys doing in our
backyard? This is not so cool.
So we're gonna have this thing
glued for the whole world and
fuck you. Fuck yeah,
Unknown: we you know if I only
told Washington this that when I
talked to Jeff Feltman
John C Dvorak: lightweight,
which was she said, Fuck the EU?
I think she was specifically
saying we're going to have the
UN do it and fucka you meaning
we're bite? We're skipping them
by there. Anything that they
have to say about it? Yeah, cuz
Adam Curry: the UN greater than
sign EU.
Unknown: Morning. He had a new
name for the UN guy, Robert.
Sorry. Did I read that this
morning? Yeah, I saw that. He's
now gotten both salary and
Bonnke moon to agree that salary
could come in Monday or Tuesday.
Okay. So that would be great, I
think to help glue this thing
and have the UN help glue it.
And you know, fuck that, you
know? Exactly. And I think we've
got to do something to make it
stick together. Because you can
be pretty sure that if it does,
if it does start to gain
altitude, the Russians will
Adam Curry: be working behind
the scenes, it's gonna gain
altitude. Alright, bring in
Biden try to torpedo it.
Unknown: And again, the fact
that this is out there right
now, I'm still trying to figure
out in my mind, why Yana COVID
that, but in the meantime,
there's a Party of Regions
faction meeting going on right
now. And I'm sure there's a
lively argument going on in that
group at this point. But anyway,
we could, we could land jelly
set up on this one if we move
fast. So let me work on or they
work on Klitschko and if you can
just keep I think we want to try
to get somebody within
international personality to
come out here and help to
midwife this saying, Oh,
Adam Curry: someone with
international personality needs
to come out and midwife this
thing.
Unknown: The other issue is some
kind of outreach to Yanukovych,
but we probably regroup on that
tomorrow as we see how things
start to fall into place.
So on that piece, Jeff, when I
wrote the note solitons, come
back to me VFR saying you need
Biden and I said probably
tomorrow,
Adam Curry: Jake Sullivan, by
any chance anybody you saying
yeah has to be Jake Solomon.
Yeah, he's got Biden. He's got
Biden. Yeah, he's got the 100%
dud midwife, this
Unknown: thing and then the
other. The other issue is some
kind of outreach to Yanukovych,
but we probably regroup on that
tomorrow as we see how things
start to fall into place.
So on that piece, Jeff, when I
wrote the note solitons come
back to me VFR saying you need
Biden and I said probably
tomorrow for an attaboy and to
get the deeds to stick.
Adam Curry: Oh, Biden will come
out for an attaboy and get the
deeds to sick. Greg, thanks,
Good work, good work. No agenda
you know, agenda show has has
receipts people.
John C Dvorak: You know, this is
so scandalous and it was played
by it was played at zero by
Adam Curry: zero. Well, she used
an expletive on a call you know,
so we can pray the extra two
because she said a bad word.
It's not about that people
listen to what they're doing.
What they did, they did it.
Everybody's job.
John C Dvorak: You gotta give
him kudos for that same
Adam Curry: people. They had
lady G. They had McCain they had
who was the CIA director.
Everybody was in there to do
this. And it was just part of a
Brennan was there and then and
now Vicki is back. You know
she's not I think she's now if
not, has been or will be the
Deputy Secretary of State again.
And she's here to finish the
job. And Europe You're screwed
if the EU you're screwed.
John C Dvorak: Let me read some
more about this shutdown. This
is Shaheed King Bolson who's
talking about Poland being the
crux of this whole thing. Glad
we played and this is
interesting. He's an al Qaeda
operative. Oh, well, sure. By
now first affiliated to the
Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood.
Those two don't really
necessarily mix but okay.
Suspicious
Adam Curry: wasn't the Muslim
Brotherhood was not Obama's
guys.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, I think so.
Yeah. And it started 2015
multinational corporation for
everyone basically goes on it
Not a he is a fine where it was
born Shannon Morris in Boulder,
Colorado in 1971. He was raised
as a Catholic, by his mother at
Catholic by his mother after
their father abandoned the
family to pursue a screenwriting
career in California. And this
guy family would later recall
that even as a young man Shannon
was deeply troubled by social
injustice, and the gap between
America's rich and poor that's
Adam Curry: it so his name is
now Shaheed
John C Dvorak: he went from
Shannon Morris to Shaheed King
Bolson.
Adam Curry: I'm calling you
Johnny, and I'm sure he'd Okay,
that's that's Huda. Hello, Joe
heed.
John C Dvorak: So it goes on and
on and on. Robert is a bunch of
Connections is a very
interesting article. If anyone
can find it, it's in the weekly
blitz.net a background are on
this guy. And the guy is
extremely suspicious. And he's,
he's really good at analysis. So
let's go to part two of his
clip.
Unknown: When John Negroponte
was appointed the US ambassador
to Iraq. Shortly after the
invasion and occupation, I fully
anticipated that he would pursue
the same sort of destabilization
project throughout the Middle
East. Now, Negroponte had a
protege named Robert Stephen
Ford, who was appointed the US
Ambassador to Syria at that
time, and he immediately began
trying to foment rebellion and
opposition and resistance and
recruiting militia groups until
he was eventually kicked out of
the country. I think we're all
aware of what happened a few
short years later, in the Arab
world with the Arab Spring. And
we're all aware also, I think,
of the role played by CIA backed
organizations in that Disruptive
Movement. And I think we're also
all aware of the role played by
the CIA, in backing armed groups
in the civil war in Syria. In
fact, during the Arab Spring,
the United States tried to
appoint Roberts even for it
after he'd been kicked out of
Syria, they tried to appoint him
as the US ambassador to Egypt.
But fortunately, his reputation
and the reputation of John
Negroponte preceded them, and
popular opposition to that
appointment towards the US
describe the idea. So the point
here is that there is a pattern.
And once you are familiar with
the pattern, you can recognize
it. And you can sort of
abstractly predict the way it's
going to play out, if not
specifically, well, in the
current scenario, in my opinion,
Poland is Honduras, near the
beginning of the war in Ukraine,
I noticed the role being played
by Poland, as a destination for
refugees and as a source for
mercenaries to go and fight in
Ukraine. So I decided to check
who is the US Ambassador to
Poland right now? Well, the US
Ambassador to Poland right now
is not Robert Stephen Ford, and
it's not John Negroponte or any
of their known protegees. The
current US Ambassador to Poland
is the son of one of the most
notorious policy advisors in
recent US history. Zbigniew
Brzezinski, and I'm not going to
make any effort to say his name
correctly. Brzezinski, who was
Polish was the architect of us
support for the Mujahideen in
Afghanistan against the Soviet
Union. And he was a staunch and
paranoid anti Russian zealot.
Adam Curry: Wait a minute it is
it's Mark Brzezinski. Oh, man.
How did we miss we miss this? Do
we know this?
John C Dvorak: I think we may
have noticed it some time back
but I think we didn't make it in
this connection. We didn't make
this connection and
Adam Curry: is he not married to
or boyfriend girlfriend with
that horrible woman? Yeah,
because yes, when? I know I kind
of that's kind of an open open
thing there isn't it? Ah
Brzezinski No way. This is
atrocious with all the all the
shields are in place. Let's
Yeah, who is he? He is cement
not Samantha what's what's her
name?
John C Dvorak: That Samantha
Powers. Oh, no.
Adam Curry: Apple been friends
with Apple bomb.
John C Dvorak: Oh, Apple bomb.
Oh, Annie.
Adam Curry: Because he's
divorced. He's twice divorced.
Not saying that something that
doesn't happen. Is he with Apple
bomb. Okay, well, let's continue
with the clips. You can do them
doing the research over here on
the Apple bow
John C Dvorak: and so onward
with now the question that
occurs why is this why did this,
this analysis even get out
there? There's something up with
that. And I haven't figured that
part out yet. And this Shaheed
character, again is another
mystery, but let's go on with
part three.
Unknown: Now Brzezinski felt
that the disintegration of the
EU was inevitable, and that only
the perception of a threat being
posed by Russia could possibly
induce the Europeans to act in
unison.
I think a united Europe came
into being out of fear. I I
think that entity is now on the
way to a disintegration because
the fear is gone. There is a
certain inevitability to that.
Now, if content starts another
wave of Cold War unilateral
actions, they'll probably all
come back again.
He also believe that there were
several countries that had been
admitted into the EU that never
should have been admitted,
namely the Eastern Bloc
countries in the Baltic states.
Now I think it's safe to assume
that Mark Brzezinski, the
current US Ambassador to Poland,
probably shares his father's
views and he is now in charge of
coordinating the destabilization
program for Europe that will see
the continent split right down
the middle, with America's focus
of support moving from the
Atlantic, European states and
the Central European states, to
the Eastern European states,
with Poland as its primary
client. Ironically, the US is
using Brzezinski theory, that
the Europeans need a Russian
threat in order to act in
unison. They're using that
theory to coerce the European
nations to be unified in the
adoption of policies that will
ultimately lead to the
disintegration of Europe. Now,
no doubt the US is dangling
promises in front of Poland,
telling them that they will re
emerge as a major power after
four centuries of irrelevance
telling them that Germany is
weakening, both naturally and by
design and that Poland can
become not only the
manufacturing hub, and heart of
Europe, but also with the
strongest military power.
They're even hinting that Poland
can become a super state,
incorporating both Lithuania and
Western Ukraine into their
territory. And just FYI, the
suspected St. Petersburg bomber
was born in western Ukraine.
Adam Curry: So they went to
school together and Mark. Oh,
they went to St. Anthony's
College in Oxford.
John C Dvorak: No, Robin, a
Rhodes scholarship. No doubt.
Adam Curry: Yeah, he's the one
that when when the pipeline was
blown up the Nord Stream two.
Key tweeted, dear Thanks. Good
job. Remember that
John C Dvorak: I vaguely
remember that was funny.
Adam Curry: These people, these
people are crazy. Okay, this is
good.
John C Dvorak: There's a lot of
interesting stuff. But if you
think about this, this plan this
scheme, which goes back to two,
pre 2014, because you had to get
this this Ukraine thing started.
If this scheme goes back, as far
as it probably did, it might
have been an extra explanation
for Brexit. Because Brexit,
Brexit, the British were a part
of five eyes. Yeah. And they
would know that if the scheme
was underfoot to bust up the the
EU and just make a mess out of
it. Kind of just scramble it.
Adam Curry: Well, well, this is
this you have to get out. This
is succeeding. They're
succeeding with this. Yeah.
Well, I'll tell you why in a
minute. But let's let's get the
final piece here. Let's get to
John C Dvorak: find out clips.
And then he also goes on after
this was some more stuff, it
diminishes his score, rating us
and bitching and moaning about
stuff. It goes into a Muslim
rant. But this is this wraps it.
Unknown: So based on all of
these promises, in my opinion,
Poland is willingly doing
America's dirty work, which
after all, they've actually been
doing for quite some time, as a
result of embracing their role
as a destabilizing client state
of the US, Poland will likely
become a police state. And this
is already happening with
American soldiers running amok
in the country, and polish
Police telling their citizens
that they have no right to
arrest them. And the same is
likely to happen in the other
Eastern Bloc and Baltic states
where America is shifting its
focus, they will be tightly
controlled by American
influence. And they will be
encouraged to distance
themselves from the EU and to
even form their own economic
insecurity bloc, which again, we
already see happening. Poland
will potentially become
militarily engaged in the war in
Ukraine against Russia, as well
as potentially in Bella roofs
and unquestionably covert
disruption activities in both
Moldova and in Georgia, and
elsewhere, will be originating
from the US Embassy in Warsaw.
So this is just to give you a
sort of geopolitical framework
for what's happening in Europe
and Poland's role in debt in
what is a repeating pattern by
the US.
Adam Curry: Okay, so, what just
happened this past week in one
of the countries that is that is
under attack by Brzezinski and
his band of Biden criminals is
the Dutch
Unknown: government in The
Hague. Crowds gathered outside
the prime minister's office at
the bin and half the Netherlands
law longest serving leader
resigned from his fourth term in
office because of disagreements
over immigration between
coalition partners.
Adam Curry: So it's not
immigration. It's literally
asylum seekers. What from war ie
from Ukraine.
Unknown: Today, unfortunately,
we have to conclude that those
differences are irreconcilable.
That is why will immediately
offer the resignation of the
entire cabinet to the king in
writing will of course also send
a copy of that request for
dismissal, but the House of
Representatives
since January 2022, Mark Ruta
has led a coalition government
comprising four parties from the
right and center. Some months
the government had been trying
to find an agreement on reducing
the flow of migrants entering
the country. This week, the
Prime Minister tried to push
through a plan to restrict
family reunification for
refugees in the Netherlands. The
plan included a cap on the
number of relatives of war
refugees allowed into the
country, but two of the four
party coalition were not
prepared to further tighten the
policy for asylum seekers.
margaritas resignation opens a
period of uncertainty for the
Dutch.
Adam Curry: So the ad at hand
were very interesting case, you
know, they have a coalition of
four parties, two big ones, two
smaller ones, and Ruta with with
the other big one. They said,
Well, you know, we really want
to restrict children of war
refugees from I mean, where else
could they come from, but from
Ukraine, we want to restrict
them so we can't bring them in,
which sounds like a real dick
move. And then, you know, the
two smaller parties went well,
that's a big move. So the oh,
well, I guess we can't figure it
out. So let's all resign. Here's
a better report from a Dutch guy
on Instagram.
Unknown: Hi guys use this video,
I said that I'm not going to
make any videos or post anything
with something big has happened
in the Netherlands, the cabinets
Margarita has resigned about the
problems they had about all the
migrants that were supposed to
come to the Netherlands. And now
they resigned says it's a big
sign people I think I was
talking to my friend in the
United States. And he said that
a couple of days macarons ago
and people in there and then the
government of Germany will go
and then Europe will collapse.
It's finished. It's finished,
keep on praying. It's all those
Klaus Schwab assholes are gone
and will be put to trial for a
tribunal for what they have done
to them. So to all the people in
the country so say to the world,
please, forward please this this
video. Margaret is cabinet of
the Netherlands has resigned
this falling. It's finished.
It's gone. So he
Adam Curry: sees it or at least
he sees a version of it by
saying Oh no, what I understand
is McCrone will be gone which
we'll talk about I guess now and
the Germans will be gone and the
whole thing's gonna fall apart
and then we're gonna put we're
gonna hang up the World Economic
Forum eight holes I'm not so
sure that's gonna happen but I
like his spunk. So we have
France bonk. This is this is
this is our doing when I say our
pitch American politicians and
diplomats who have been working
this
John C Dvorak: has been going on
for a while, obviously pre
COVID. Obviously pre 2014 now,
huh? Now, what is the goal?
Adam Curry: verbalization. Now,
what else?
John C Dvorak: That's what we
do?
Adam Curry: Where the rubber
lies is baby. Yeah, well, what
is the goal is complete
financial dominance. The bankers
never
John C Dvorak: other banks know
your banker friend said this was
a fait accompli sometime back?
Adam Curry: Yeah, you know. So
in 2008 there was a war and he
said, and I just remember him
saying we won. We won. We beat
the European banks. We won. And
he still speaks of winning,
we're winning now. We're
winning. And with that, it only
means against the European
Central Bank and the European
banks in general. Obviously, the
Bank of England, you know, broke
that one a long time ago. So I'm
sure that you know, it was
annoying the whole European the
whole euro project annoying,
annoying, annoying, annoying.
And since we have the BRICS
getting together and they keep
threatening a gold backed
currency they're all going to
use Yeah, it's not that simple.
It's not going to work. I don't
know if it'll work or not, but
it's just not that simple. It
sounds good on paper. Oh, yeah,
we'll just we'll just we'll just
put together currency everybody
use it, but to to crush the
euro. Especially by bringing in
Fifi Lagarde, globalist. You
know, she may look French she
may speak for wrench, but she's
a globalist. She comes from the
IMF. We know where she's from.
So now she's she's going to run
the European Central Bank into
the ground. But then we just
have some irritating little
people like, I think Rota, I
think it was. He was told I
think he was told to to fold.
This doesn't seem like they had
to collapse the government over
this issue.
John C Dvorak: No, I don't think
so. He is under, he's going to
get raised
Adam Curry: under. He's under a
real attack. He's in a real
attack. But you sent me that
that article that I put in the
show notes or that cable, the
diplomatic
John C Dvorak: was a cable that
was on a wiki leaks, and it had
to be archived in Iceland, or
something's quite interesting.
It's in the show notes. And it
outlines and this is an old
memo. During the Clinton era of
December 2010. No, it's Obama.
Okay. Yeah. Well, Clinton is
what I meant Clinton. Oh,
Adam Curry: Clinton State
Department. Yes. Yeah, of
course, of course.
John C Dvorak: And it outlines
the methodology used to subvert
the society in, in France
mainly, and I guess other
countries, and it's pretty much
to implement the diversity into
integrate whatever the di e
thing that Dei, whatever is
planned
Adam Curry: and going after
going after youth groups with
great vigor, riling them as all
kinds of crazy terms in the in
that in that cable, it's like,
we're gonna organize the youth.
And we'll show those
friendships. Those friendships
don't know how to do it.
John C Dvorak: It's it's
designed to destabilize the
country
Adam Curry: very, very much. So
John C Dvorak: it was very, very
interesting series of memos that
were picked up. You can see why.
I mean, those kinds of things.
WikiLeaks is still laced with
tons of cool stuff. It's been
scattered all over the world.
Airline,
Adam Curry: let me read from a
little bit. So this is the from
the American embassy from
Ambassador Rivkin 2010. We
believe that if France over the
long run does not successfully
increase opportunity and provide
genuine political representation
for its minority populations,
France could become a weaker,
more divided country, perhaps
more crisis prone and inward
looking and consequently, a less
capable ally, as is witnessed by
his cozying up to China and not
participating in the in the
Ukraine Gambit. Right. And then
there's, you know, this crisis
of representation in France. So,
you know, the racist a holes,
strategy for France, our aims,
the overarching goal of our
minority outreach strategy is to
engage the French population at
all levels in order to help
France to realize its own
egalitarian ideals. Again,
democracy, we're doing a good
job. But our strategy has three
broad target audiences in mind,
one, the majority, especially
the elites, yeah, well buy them
off to minorities with a focus
on their leaders. That's right.
They go into the mosques. And
three, the general population,
employ the seven tactics
described below, engage in
positive discourse, set a strong
example launch aggressive youth
outreach, aggressive,
aggressive, encourage moderate
voices, propagate best
practices, best price, deepen
our understanding of the
problem, integrate target and
evaluate our efforts. This is
France. This is not, you know,
some, some dusty desert. There,
why
John C Dvorak: are we but why we
become the button skis of the
world where we're gonna go to
France, historically, highly
cultured country and tell and
then manipulate them to get what
we want. I mean, I think it's, I
guess it's our job to manipulate
everybody to get what we want.
But it's subversive. And if we
have to admit to it, I'm getting
caught left and right. That memo
should have never been we
shouldn't be reading that memo
on our show a and b, we
shouldn't have ever had that
Victoria Nuland call and the
fact that all this stuff is
pretty much out in the open and
is not being picked up by the
mainstream media is disgusting.
Well, that's why
Adam Curry: we're that's why we
are the best we have cast in the
US. We is if you know, you know
exactly. No, you know, you know,
hey, so with the Netherlands,
you know, so you have a
decommissioned cabinet. So they
stay on and they just kind of
keep the seats warm and they'll
have elections in the fall. Now
what's going to happen in the
fall, what's going to happen
before they even get their
elections going, which will be
November I guess, in October,
this is when Fifi has promised
us the digital Euro. I mean, I
may be getting ahead of myself
here. But yeah who knows? Who
knows? I got a clip we got to do
something.
John C Dvorak: On what you This
is an ask Adam.
Adam Curry: Oh goodness,
John C Dvorak: this is the head
of a Estonia the female leader.
I think she's the prime minister
the president. And this is an
acid she's gonna be talking
about somebody I want you to
tell me what she's talking
about.
Unknown: Okay there fellas I'm
really sorry not to be able to
be there with you in person.
Adam Curry: What is the first
name? She said? Dear What she
said Dear fellas, are there
fellows
Unknown: there fellas? I'm
really sorry not to be able to
be there with you in person for
the first ever NATO Summit in
Vilnius. But I will be following
in your footsteps in a few days
when NATO leaders meet as a
proud honry fella. I want to
send my greetings to you and I
wish you the most base NATO
Summit possible. As I've said
before the aggressor must be
defeated she say most
Adam Curry: based NATO Summit.
John C Dvorak: No, she said most
based NATO Summit.
Adam Curry: Okay, well, that's
that's so some countries say
Navo other say NATO but she said
baby Oh, no. What No. Yes. No,
in Holland, it's Navo
John C Dvorak: na fo is a
completely different
organization. Look it up and
when the Wikipedia after you
listen to the rest of the clip,
Unknown: the proud 100 fella, I
want to send my greetings to
you. And I wish you the most
bass NATO Summit possible. As
I've said before, the aggressor
must be defeated on the
battlefield. But Russia is also
waging a war against our
democracies, and energy war,
cyber war and information war.
Democracies need to take steps
to defend themselves in all
these areas, as well as holding
the line to defend the world
where rules still apply, and
where technology works for not
against democratic societies.
You are all a living example of
this fighting Russian
disinformation and bad takes
with good humor, intelligence
and enthusiasm. Behind every
fellow is a real person. You are
volunteering your time and
energy because you believe in
Ukraine's victory. I thank you
for all your support to Ukraine,
as well as the Baltic Sea region
and Estonia. And thank you for
all your support to me
personally, it really, really
warms my heart. So what more to
say then keep fighting the good
fight? Because NATO expansion is
non negotiable,
as was as we know. Oh, really?
Well, I don't know. We go.
Adam Curry: All right. I know
what this is. Because she used
all the words. This isn't a foe.
You're right. And I fo North
Atlantic fella organization.
John C Dvorak: Yeah. And she's a
fellow. She's
Adam Curry: a fella. That's
right. And they combat
disinformation.
John C Dvorak: They use the same
logo as NATO. Yep. It's only
just started in 2020. This is a
joke. This is some millennials
that were in government that
came up with this idiocy,
they're even good. All these
morons and she's one of them.
They're using the shiba inu dog
and they use that stupid dog to
dose dog the dose dog as as
their logo this is wrong, which
is also a pedophile will sign
that according to some people on
the no agenda social anyway. The
whole thing is wrong. Is Wrong
fella fella.
Adam Curry: Well, she said when
she said based I knew something
was up. I don't care what you
say, well, you're using base as
a politician. You're not a
politician. I don't know who she
is. But
John C Dvorak: she's the head.
She's the honcho of Estonia,
which is a stooge country for
us. What is she very high tech.
Adam Curry: What is she doing
wasting her time at the NATO
John C Dvorak: Bush she didn't
go to us she just gave a video a
basic video. She's bad. So she
gave a video on this. She's
gonna go to the actual NATO
conference in a couple of days.
This is so great. It's
unbelievably stupid.
Adam Curry: She's well now
John C Dvorak: top that,
Adam Curry: uh, well, the I
can't really top it with only
one other piece of Dutch news,
which is the winner of Miss Miss
Netherlands 2023. Announced on
Saturday night in a televised
you know this will be part of
the Miss Universe competition.
And it is Ricky Calais. A dude I
told you I could top it as seven
foot tall dude one
John C Dvorak: seven foot tall.
Yes. Big dude very
Adam Curry: tall dude very tall.
And I do not believe this is a a
completely transition person. I
believe it is a transvestite.
I'm not 100% Sure, I don't
really care. But now is this
Ricky is a combo a Dutch?
molucca and malaco You haven't
heard muckers in a long time?
John C Dvorak: I haven't heard
idaite Are you remember that?
Well, the molucca is
Adam Curry: are the ones who
were hijacking the trains in the
70s in Holland, do you remember
that? Oh, I
John C Dvorak: don't remember
any of that, because they were
all pissed off. This
Adam Curry: is part of the DEI
agenda in the Netherlands,
because, you know, everyone's
vying for money now, now that
the king has said, you know,
we're a bunch of racists, and we
ship the slaves go us, and now
they got museums and all kinds
of stuff, you know, oh, well,
now we're a bunch
John C Dvorak: of racist so
we're gonna make up for it by
naming this guy, Miss
Netherlands. That's pretty much
gonna help. Yes and help our
cause.
Adam Curry: How do you feel?
That's reparations? There you
go. That's what it is. Here's
our reparations take that
muckers?
Unknown: Man oh man. Oh
Adam Curry: man. Oh, man. Oh
man. Oh man, and not that
attractive with a huge Overbite
can scrape flies off the wall.
I'm sorry. I mean, I just got to
be a television producer here
for a moment the profile is not
a good look. Look it up.
John C Dvorak: by Neil really
want you to
Adam Curry: know you need to see
overbite, okay. Miss Netherlands
just look at you have
John C Dvorak: to get hold on. I
gotta get a browser up and I'm
going nuts. You mentioned it. I
just don't.
Adam Curry: You don't even have
you're doing you'd been doing
the show for almost an hour and
you haven't don't even have a
browser up. I don't know what
kind of podcasts or are you?
John C Dvorak: I know. It makes
no sense. You're still in your
pajamas yet about pi cash and
you have a browser running
constantly. Look I gotta do to
get ISS Palumbo, Netherlands.
What? Oh, I see what happened.
What are you
Adam Curry: doing? It's Ricky
Valerie. Colet. Oh wow. Ricky ri
K K i e of course makes nothing
but sense. R I K admis.
Netherlands. Come on. Oh, there
John C Dvorak: she is. Don't say
she will if I just saw a picture
the way that when that showed
up. I would say that's a she
Adam Curry: No, but now look at
the profile. Look at look at
that overbuying. I've put a lot
of money into my mouth now so I
feel I have some standing. Get
your face fixed.
John C Dvorak: She is extremely
tall. And again I say she
because I have no evidence. Very
and I don't have any profile.
Okay. She's She looks very
Hispanic moniker Hispanic. No.
Now there's no there's a picture
with orange lipstick.
Adam Curry: Anyway, I knew I
could top it I knew I could top
it
John C Dvorak: is definitely
different. I want to before we
leave the your analysis
completely behind I want to do
one quick three parter on
Russian. The COO
Adam Curry: Oh, yes. Now before
you even start, did you see that
they now have pictures of hot
dog boys? Penthouse
John C Dvorak: No, I don't know
anything about hot dog boys
penthouse.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah, so they
got pictures of his penthouse or
his mansion or whatever. And
he's got like all kinds of wigs
and disguises and weird things
and he's got Illuminati
checkered floors. I mean, this
guy is into some weird stuff.
And there's paint and now
they're posting pictures of him
and all these different get ups
and all these different
disguises which are I mean, it
hilariously bad. With like,
really bad wigs. The whole thing
is bizarre.
John C Dvorak: It doesn't even
seem like he's ready running
anything. Here,
Adam Curry: a peek into Pergo
Z's bizarre pad. Among the
findings were millions in cash
and gold bars a disguised
collection, a giant sledge
hammer, and a cache of guns and
ammo. Well, you could find guns
and ammo mine was a sledge
hammer Yeah, that's the one that
he was bashing people's head
that he mesh in your heads with
your this guy he doesn't even
exist. This this guy is an
entirely made up fictional
character I'm convinced of it
now.
John C Dvorak: Well, could be is
just as good as any Additional I
was listening so I wanted to get
the clip somebody sent me the
link and I put it off from the
last show I wanted to get the
clips of Kennedy on on the media
Adam Curry: oh I haven't heard
that one yet. I've been the
media has been the K is what
they're calling him Now Bobby
The K Bobby the
John C Dvorak: K's on on the
media and they do a takedown of
course is very slanted they use
loaded languages it's I think
might from my perspective
they're being sincere but
they're being dishonest but they
don't know it. So they got but
in the process before they get
to Kennedy they do they bring
some guy on some experts uh, you
know, they always have some
expert on the media and they
bring him on and he's he talks
about the about the coup and it
was some kind of me I don't know
if it's inside or just a
different approach but I thought
it was interesting enough I get
some clips okay. And here we go
with the coup. Some background
are on the cool
Adam Curry: on the media is an
NPR product on the media
John C Dvorak: is a right it's
an NPR thing with his Brooke
Gladstone who's being
substituted hosted by some New
York Times column this girl girl
girl and it's a very it's
supposed to be media Deaconess.
Once we will redo it's supposed
to be decongesting. Yes, sure.
It's supposed to be
deconstructed, but all it does
is it just looks for anything
that's a little right wing and
then it gets condemned
Unknown: in the last day or so
has seen an extraordinary turn
of events in Russia.
A week ago, the world watched
his Russian President Vladimir
Putin's favorite fixer made a
power play in the Russian
city of Rostov. Armed men
and armor on the streets
understanding if any precaution
He is calling for an armed
rebellion
precaution announced his army
10s of 1000s Straw Wood River
Adam Curry: they're doing super
cuts now. Is that what they're
doing to the
John C Dvorak: really former cut
as a president preludes? Yeah,
it's kind of like their way of
leading in
Unknown: rebellion pretty Goshen
announced his army 10s of 1000s
Straw would reverse course
backing out of Ukraine, marching
directly on Moscow,
Russian state TV through a lot
of commercial breaks as the rest
of the world tried to figure out
what was going on. What's the
latest that we have confirmed so
there is very little confirmed
an
utterly baffling turn of events
here as a rebellion that wasn't
in Russia or wasn't a rebellion.
But then as quickly as the
rebellion flared, it fizzled.
The leader of the Wagner group
you can see progression, has
ordered his mercenaries to turn
around and returned to their
bases to avoid bloodshed. He
said
Vladimir Putin began the day
angrily denouncing an armed
insurrection as terrorist
methods and now appears to have
struck a deal with precaution.
The
Kremlin says it's dropped
charges and Prigogine will go to
Belarus, while promising his
fighters contracts with the
Russian military.
It was not a coup because Goshen
made his intention clear
repeatedly. He was not trying to
overthrow the government he was
not trying to seize power from
Putin
Nani Hall thing is the author of
seizing power the strategic
logic of military coups back in
2016. He helped on the media
create a breaking news consumers
handbook military coup edition
after a failed attempt by the
military to seize power in
Turkey. He says what happened in
Russia last week was less a coup
than a mutiny
Adam Curry: Oh yeah,
John C Dvorak: they got it where
it comes from from everywhere
yeah, we were talking over and
over and over again about what
is what is he talking about
Muni, Muni, Muni. Muni? It comes
from this show and that right
there
Adam Curry: so you share there
the orange the originator pretty
sure
John C Dvorak: Yeah, cuz this is
not brand new. And it just all
seems to stem from this guy
Adam Curry: helped me understand
one thing. Now if you and I were
producing on the media, and you
know, we've produced a lot of
stuff in our time. First of all,
make this girl spin around make
sure she's okay for the role.
John C Dvorak: A patent make
curry.com I'm just doing
Adam Curry: television producer
stuff, but it's radio. We would
never
John C Dvorak: I wish the
spinning around for radio.
Adam Curry: We would never
choose this guitar music. What's
up with the Spanish guitar? Why?
I mean, it's royalty free. I get
it but want to have
John C Dvorak: an A gillows What
I have played? Okay.
Adam Curry: Sure. Carry to vorak
for all your podcasts. Okay, so,
John C Dvorak: so, so this, this
mutiny thing comes from this
guy. Now while you're listening
to this guy explain what a coup
is and what a coup isn't because
there's I guess there's a bunch
of the he's the he's the guy. I
want you to also be thinking
into at least in the back your
head everyone out there should
be thinking about January 6,
though as a cool, suppose a coup
and you If you listen to these
guys, and you listen to what
they say about this, and then
you think about January 6,
January 6 was not even it was
not an insurrection. It wasn't a
coup. It wasn't a mutiny. It was
a lousy re was a poorly planned
event.
Adam Curry: What No, hold on a
second. It was a it was a jacked
up crowd that was jacked up
because there was about to be a
vote taken inside. Inside the
capitol that could actually have
stopped the certification of the
vote, let's just call it what it
really was. That's why they let
everybody in, oh, people are
coming in. We can't do we can't
take this vote. That's what it
was. Okay, so it's kind of like
a mutiny, really.
John C Dvorak: But it wasn't
really like a mutiny at all. But
let's listen. Now we get to more
parts of this. And you can kind
of share this site. They're
really looking for something
here. And it's I don't know what
anyone is looking for. But it's
kind of interesting.
Unknown: So there were some
distinctions. Most mutinies are
from the bottom, which is to
say, if your average Russian
construct was to rise up against
the war, or against their
conditions of service, that
would be a lot more typical.
However, this is not something
which is unique, what Prigogine
did. In fact, there are other
examples like in Ecuador, or in
Argentina, where you have
generals or people who are in
command of significant military
forces, who will mountain armed
rebellion, who use that force to
attain a political objective.
It's just that in this case,
that political objective stops
just shy of the removal of the
president.
When you spoke to otium. In
2016, it was about a coup
attempt in Turkey. You said then
that coos are about making the
outcome seem inevitable, and
putting out the message that
they've already succeeded in
overthrowing the people in power
to precaution do that, no
production
did not. And it's one of the
ways in which he avoids being
accused of mounting a coup. He
never says My intention is to
take over, he never says I've
already succeeded in taking
over. In fact, his first target
is rust off rather than Moscow.
John C Dvorak: So this all seems
like it's from the CIA playbook.
His discussion of you know, just
saying I took
Adam Curry: thing, I don't get
the coup ribbon, unless it's an
actual coup. So I know what a
coup is, okay. And you need to
have an army leader you need to
have someone taking over has to
be a political takeover, which,
of course, January 6 was not
that was what that was, was
worse than 911. That was worse
than the Civil War. But it was
not the worst, everything was
not a coup. It was not it
John C Dvorak: was poorly done.
That's why. Okay, so we'll
finish this guy off.
Unknown: And he says he intends
to go in and remove the top
people at the Ministry of
Defense, he doesn't say I've
already succeeded in doing so.
However, he does do half of it.
If you're going to create a
narrative that your seizure of
power is a fait accompli, that
your success is inevitable. The
first half of doing that is that
you have to demonstrate that the
state is no longer in control.
And that's the part that
precaution does do you warn
that in the case of a coup or a
mutiny, each side is battling to
seize the narrative. What are
the competing narratives here?
Adam Curry: Wow, fire her this
is horrible. What are they? I
mean, is she Do you think she's
reading right in front of them?
Where their head down just like
just reading off the paper? Or
is this inserted later? Sounds
like?
John C Dvorak: That's a good
question. Because you can't tell
it's so poorly done. Sounds
inserted later
Unknown: me. Each side is
battling to seize the narrative.
What are the competing
narratives here?
You're seeing a
Adam Curry: lot more notes
inserted later.
John C Dvorak: I think so.
Unknown: Yeah. Battling disease,
the narrative. What are the
competing narratives here?
You're seeing a lot more
narrative creation now that
things are over always
John C Dvorak: top again over
another is just for people who
care about this kind of
broadcasting crap. The other
thing is, is that generally
speaking on this show and some
of the other shows, they're
doing it over a satellite link
and there's always a delay that
they never cut out. Really, they
always leave a look do it that
I'm when I'm doing these clips.
I'm cutting stuff out
constantly. The lag but helped
me understand
Adam Curry: how is it that NPR
with all their resources and
Neumann mics and beautifully
soundproof rooms, to have to
still resort to interviews over
the satellite with a delay?
We're using a $20 clean feed
account and it's fine.
John C Dvorak: I've always
wondered about some of these
some of these delays and Fox has
them two boxes, the worst is La
got the money and just wasting
cash box delays on their on
their satellite feed? Are 234
Second ridic
Adam Curry: not his video. So
they're adding that but it's
ridiculous. That's a ridiculous
Unknown: control. And that's the
part that precaution does do.
You warned that in the case of a
coup or a mutiny, each side is
battling to seize the narrative.
What are the competing
narratives here?
You're seeing a lot more
narrative creation now that
things are over promotion wants
to make it seem as if he could
have succeeded. Putin is trying
to make it seem that provisions
activities were highly
threatening to the state, but he
was in control all along, and
that he's still in control. Both
sides want to create an
impression to create an
understanding of what occurred
because of the consequences for
their existing position. If
Prigogine can make it seem like
he came very close to succeeding
it'll make it a little bit
harder for people to assassinate
him because of the assassinate
him. Maybe his troops will rise
up and maybe they'll overthrow
the government.
Adam Curry: Yeah, but no, so
Unknown: this was as far fetched
Adam Curry: total CIA guys. This
is nuts about narrative
creation. This is exactly what
they're trying to do. You think
it's far fetched? No, I
John C Dvorak: think is forfeit
his thesis at the end is far
fetched, which is that oh,
precaution only did this so he
won't get assassinated. That is
the logic of eyes bull.
Adam Curry: This guy. This guy
is a ghost.
John C Dvorak: Well, I think I
think I think this writers is
working for somebody. Yes, it's
connected. I think you're right.
Adam Curry: I mean, he knows he
knows how it works. Speaking of
narrative creation, very
surprising. And I have not seen
this movie yet. Sound of
freedom. I think I talked about
it on the last show with Mel
Gibson promoted sound of
freedom. And this is a true
story. It's based on a true
story of a guy who went and he
made it his job to go and find
children who had been abducted.
Now, I again, it's in theaters
so I haven't seen it yet. But it
was outpacing everything this
weekend in the box office,
including Indiana Jones, which
is a multi 100 million dollar
production. And, and this shall
not stand. And all of a sudden,
this has become a Q anon movie
for some reason. And even
Rolling Stone. Yeah. Okay, so
the guys who produce this are
this and this is partially
crowdfunded. It's Angel studios
from from Dallas. This is the
guy that did the year guys that
yes, you're the Jesus
revolution. He did the the
chosen very successful Christian
series. And so, you know, they
produce this on a low budget.
People start loving it. I think
this is the second weekend that
it's out. And all of a sudden,
oh, no, this is q1 on the Get
Jim coversyl. The guy who
started and he's q1 on, he's all
Q anon conspiracy theory. None
of its true. I mean, just
listen, listen to how
Rollingstone treats this movie.
Sounds of freedom is a superhero
movie for dads with brain worms.
Okay, now that's funny, but the
Q anon tinged thriller about
child trafficking is designed to
appeal to the conscience of a
conspiracy addled Boomer.
John C Dvorak: Wow, I liked that
phrase it conspiracy addled
Boomer. dynamize too long. But
whoever put that one together
gets a gets a couple of candy,
some suckers.
Adam Curry: So, based on a true
story, the familiar words had
appeared on the screen and an
elderly man had taken upon
Himself to read them aloud to
the rest of the sizable audience
seated for a matinee showing of
the anti child trafficking
thriller sound of freedom,
starring Jim Kevin Ezel thing as
I pronounce it. For the season
movie goer. This phrase is a
joke. We know that cinema will
stretch almost any truth to the
breaking point, and the rank
insincerity of such a
pronouncement is the foundation
of the prankish opening titles
of Fargo. So this guy he played,
this is best that coversyl Best
known for being tortured to
death and Mel Gibson's The
Passion of the Christ. You mean
he played Jesus? Is that is that
John C Dvorak: he? Covey, Kevin?
Covey, I don't know how you
pronounce it. But he kept he was
the guy was in persons that
person have a hint interest,
which was a long running TV
thriller show. It was quite
good. And he's been in a lot of
stuff and he's Yes, he did play
the Christ in that.
Adam Curry: No, no, no, no, he
played the guy best known for
being tortured. If not all yeah
not Jesus no
John C Dvorak: no Jesus no no
it's not Jesus some guy just
some random torture
Adam Curry: dude some dude you
got tortured exactly
John C Dvorak: as funny and
catch Ballard himself heaven
forbid we use the word Jesus
Christ in our publication oh
this dedicated atheists
Adam Curry: sound of freedom
lives up to its anticipation
it's a stomach turning
experience fetishize the toward
fetishizing, the torture of its
child victims and lingering over
lush play alludes to their
sexual abuse. It sounds to me
just reading this and seeing
like Guardian articles with a
very similar bent. Here
Washington Post. I read this for
a second when Washington Post
the low budget film about side
channels
John C Dvorak: like that, yeah.
Fascist the other word they
could use
Adam Curry: as the low budget
film about child sex trafficking
almost topped the box office on
July 4, but at Star Jim cabezo
has linked it to the q&a and
movement. Well,
John C Dvorak: I have a clip. I
have a clip too, but
Adam Curry: I'd love to hear
yours first.
John C Dvorak: Boy, you're gonna
have to use your search engine
because from a couple of shows
ago, okay, it's the Audrina
chrome clip with Jacob Feasel on
Steve Bannon show
Unknown: for labor for slave
labor, or is
it Adrenochrome? The whole
Adrenochrome empire that this is
a big deal that it is under
listed under the NIH. It is is a
chemical compound. It's a
molecular structure is a C nine
H nine no three. It is it's an
elite drug that they've used for
many years. It's 10 times more
potent than heroin and it has
some mystical qualities as far
as making you look younger.
There's
there's a scene in Fear and
Loathing in Las Vegas that
nobody could figure
out. I saw that and why did why
does Ms. 13 have most advanced
guns? You know, why do we sit
alone gangs have all How come
110,000 people died? Or
disappeared in Mexico City?
Where did they go and their
start pulling people out of body
bags now? You know how this is
just insane with our military,
our Special Forces and we don't
take care of this.
You can't just have that demand
unless somehow that's organized
also
100% I believe. Okay, so the
agents that I've spoken to,
alright, here's here's the s for
a barrel of oil $77 for a barrel
of body parts and what's going
to be Adrenochrome all the
plumes that are in the woman's
mother's wombs. That goes from a
plastic barrel and that's 77,000
that that gets sent into these
barrel biolabs barrel oil
$77.70 $7,000 for Ukrainians
have Russian bloodline and
everything and then I started
looking at that. And then I
started looking up this Azov
battalion stuff the Nazis
Adam Curry: so in this
Washington Post, that's a good
clip. By the way. In this
Washington Post article here
comes he is focused on one Q
anon belief in particular while
promoting sound of freedom. The
idea that child traffickers
drain children's blood to
harvest a life giving substance
called Adrenochrome. Speaking to
a Q anon affiliated conference
in an Oklahoma in 2021, the
actor said Ballard wanted to
join him, but he's down there
saving does the guy the real
guy, but he's down there saving
children as we speak, because
they're pulling kids out of the
darkest recesses of hell right
now in all kinds of places. The
adrenal chroming of children.
THE MODERATOR asked them to
elaborate. If a child knows he's
going to die, his body will
secrete this adrenaline
adrenaline cabezo said, his
voice catching these people do
that do it. There'll be no mercy
for them. This is one of the
best films I've done in my ever
in my life. This film is an
Academy Award Level. In reality
this is back to Washington Post
Adrenochrome is a relatively
mundane chemical compound
created by oxidizing adrenaline.
Though the author Hunter S
Thompson portrayed it as a kind
of super drug popular with
pedophiles in Fear and Loathing
in Las Vegas John you're the
chemical engineer you're the
chemist I mean this Audrina
chrome
John C Dvorak: you can look it
up in Wikipedia Audrina Chrome
is there. Yes. I have no idea.
Well, it's I think it's toxic. I
have no idea. I don't know what,
what anything about it. I think
a lot of this is I mean, Hunter
was a very creative person. I've
met him a few times, talk to him
on the phone, Thompson and
really Yeah, I had lunch with
him once with Hurst.
Adam Curry: Now, did you have a
nice cup of Adrenochrome with
Hunter? No, I
John C Dvorak: hate drinks. It
was interesting. He drank for
lunch. He had a tall tumbler
with no ice of Chivas. Oh, wow.
A nice lunch drink. And he
always seemed us us at the
salmon or parties. He went to a
couple of the Christmas party.
And he always had these girls
around him. He seemed which now
there's some evidence that one
of them was a dude his handler
Oh, but he always seemed kind of
dinghy. So so I don't know. I
think he made it up. But
Adam Curry: the thing is, I'm
not so sure that the
Adrenochrome was even mentioned
in the movie. No, I don't think
it is. I can't wait to see it
now. I don't think and by the
way, it doesn't matter. Someone
a troll points out quite
correctly. If people think it's
it gives them super power,
though. They'll want it anyway.
Yes, there's there's all I know
is for for the mainstream media
to discredit this movie basic
based upon this, I think is
disingenuous that probably
covering for the studio, that's
probably the biggest problem is
the whoever did Indiana Jones is
losing their shirt. You know,
that's not they are up and
that's not supposed to happen.
No. And you cannot deny that
there's a lot of child
trafficking and pedophilia
John C Dvorak: is one of missing
children, the number of missing
children in the country is
outrageous. So here's 85,000 A
year something or more.
Adam Curry: So here's CNN
speaking. So that's a pull it
all to Q anon which Q anon what
I remember q1 was, was a was Q.
Q was was posting pictures of
like him dropping truths, et
cetera, during bombs, truth
bombs, and no truths. And, you
know, and where we go, one we go
all and, you know, whatever. But
this discrediting of this movie,
which is clearly about child
abduction, and the child
trafficking, which is real,
that's real. Why are they
covering it up in such a drastic
manner? And here's CNN just for
an example of it
Unknown: seem pretty familiar
with him because he doesn't
really hide his association with
this real wild plot that that
involves, you know, drinking the
blood of children and things
like that.
No, he doesn't hide it at all.
And you have a lot of people who
are in this world of Q anon who
say, Oh, they don't know what
that is. I've never heard of it.
They're just asking questions
with somebody like Jim Gisele,
he is openly embracing it. He's
openly using its catchphrases
and its concepts. He's speaking
at Q anon conventions, and this
film is being marketed to either
specific Q anon believers or to
people who believe all of the
same tenets as Q Anon, but
claimed they don't know what it
is.
And the sound of freedom does
focus on a real issue of sex
trafficking. But that theme,
it's sort of like that kernel of
truth that feeds the Q anon
conspiracy theory, tell us how
those two things work. So the
kernel
Adam Curry: of ohana the kernel
of truth, that children are
traffic, that's the kernel that
feeds the Q anon conspiracy,
therefore that movie is no good.
The
Unknown: Freedom does focus on a
real issue of sex trafficking.
But that theme, it's sort of
like that kernel of truth that
feeds the Q anon conspiracy
theory, and tell us how those
two things work together.
Sure, and the most durable and
the most believable conspiracy
theories are not entirely false.
There's something in them that
is true, and the rest of it is
false. But the believers point
to the one true thing and they
say, Oh, you don't believe that
this particular thing is true.
In terms of child trafficking.
We know trafficking is real. We
know it has real victims, no one
is denying that. But these films
are created out of moral panics.
They're created out of bogus
statistics. They're created out
of fear. And it was something
like sound of freedom. It
specifically is looking at q&a
on concepts of these child
trafficking rings that are run
by the high level elites. And
only people like Tim Ballard,
and only people like Jim
Caviezel, and by extension, only
people like the ticket buyer can
help bring these trafficking
rings down. So there's a very
participatory elements. You're
not just going to see a movie
you're just killing two hours on
a hot day, you are helping bring
down these these pedophile rings
and save children. Now it's not
true, but it's a very comforting
and it's very warm feeling to
have.
Adam Curry: Wow, way to bring it
first of all, this movie is
going to be one of the biggest
box offices of all times
John C Dvorak: now. Yeah, with
that kind of promotion. And so
how now I was not interested in
this movie. And now I want to
see
Adam Curry: Yes. And how is it
that this is a problem this this
movie about child trafficking is
a problem. Um, but this is okay.
Unknown: I've always wanted to
be able to lactate. And today,
my doctor after my EKG results,
said that she's feeling
competent enough to start me on
this medication regularly. And
it has serious side effects. But
I'm only going to be taking it
for two weeks up to three weeks
possible.
Adam Curry: Now by the way, tell
me this is a Matthew
McConaughey.
Unknown: So within two weeks, I
should be lactating. The rest is
on me. I'm going to have a
supply Neuchtel little this is
the tough part. I have one pump
I need to and the matter of
lactase, the amount of pumping
that I have to do to lactate is
gonna require a better one. But
I got I mean, I have electric
pump, but I need the two ago.
And I need them where they're
more compact. And I'm gonna
start a GoFundMe. So this
Adam Curry: is it. So crowdfund
a movie about child trafficking.
You are Q anon This is no good.
You got brain worms. But
crowdfund for your for the dude
to lactate right on. This is
Murca baby. Yeah,
John C Dvorak: it was
disgusting. I had that clip to
Of course you did is the second
part of this where he showed
where I didn't clip it because I
was actually gross.
Adam Curry: I go ahead and say
it.
John C Dvorak: He's actually
lactating and he shows this.
This milk in a jar he shakes it
is like it's enough to make it
throw up. And he's so proud of
himself.
Adam Curry: And he says he can't
wait to give babies trans milk.
That was the punchline. You
forgot that part.
John C Dvorak: Yes. Yeah. He
went on and on. It was really
gross. That guys, and the guys
is getting bald. Heads, shaved
head gauged ears, so it's big
holes in his ear lobes. And a
nose ring and a piercing in his
chin. It's just a grotesque
person. Yes.
Adam Curry: But that's all good.
That's all good. Should give
that guy a go. primetime show.
Well, thank God, there's a
movement here. I'm very, very
happy that this is happening is
this is this is so. So odd. You
know, it's like you're
overstepping your bounds people
your underwear showing the the
vigor that they're going after
this movie can only be for one
of two things. One, the money
that is being lost, which is
likely loss on this huge on
these huge productions. You
know, Oppenheimer was supposed
to be the big Fourth of July.
John C Dvorak: That's a toy.
That's a total No, no, I don't
even want to see. I know. We've
heard so much. We know so much
about Oppenheimer. Why are we
getting this movie? It's like,
so it's old news.
Adam Curry: The only thing I
could think about that is
because it's about you know, the
atom bomb. And I was listening
to Bobby The que en Lex
Friedman, which I was very
interested in because I know Lex
Friedman would you know, abhor
him and and the K is talking
about the duck and cover days
during the you know, the 12 days
of the missing the Cuban Missile
Crisis, and that his dead
John C Dvorak: duck and cover
days was went throughout the 50s
Yes, but
Adam Curry: during that time,
they were doing duck and cover
in school and his dad, Robbie,
Robbie, the K had had said, I
don't want you doing that.
Because I don't want anyone to
see that. You're You're ducking
and covering you're going into
the basement you're going into
the shelter. He says because the
whole duck and cover thing is a
psychological operation on the
American people to accept the
whole notion of nuclear warfare.
which I had never heard anyone
admit before. And so the
opposite
John C Dvorak: is interesting. I
would duck and cover anyway
because everyone else is so I
Adam Curry: think I think that
dog barking that's a dog barking
Yes. She smells Adrenochrome
like and with that I'd like to
thank you for your currency in
the morning to you the man who
put the sea in the COO and the
Audrina chrome ladies and
gentlemen say hello to my friend
on the other hand, the one and
only Mr. John Cena
John C Dvorak: well in the
morning you have Australian
Korean warships see boots and
Rafi near subs to water and all
the names and nights out there.
Adam Curry: And in the mornings,
the trolls and the troll room
was like hey
that's okay feeds It's okay.
It's okay girl.
John C Dvorak: I like this Alan
is great. She's got a big voice
Adam Curry: on her. We have 2409
Trolls with us today. I think is
pretty good. I
Unknown: Phoebe is pretty normal
Phoebe quiet.
Adam Curry: She listens to me I
have control. Is that normal?
It's good furs. It's normal for
Sunday, we're
John C Dvorak: on par with a
high net low.
Adam Curry: It's good. It's okay
trolls. They're in the troll
room and they hang out there
live on the on show days
Thursdays and Sundays. Why?
Well, because they are an
important part of our live
studio audience. They are the
live studio audience and they
have a feedback mechanism. We
love it when they jump into the
to the troll room. So they're
listening live and can jump in
troll room.io If you want to
participate, it's very simple.
Or we recommend one of those
modern podcast apps it's the
wave of the future. Now with
with licensed music coming soon
with value for Valley Music,
stay tuned for that. But you've
got these apps like pod verse,
I'm gonna promote pod verse
today this others you know,
podcast guru, podcast addict
fountain, but pod verse will
actually alert you when we go
live and you tap on your
notification opens up the troll
room, you could chat right away,
you can listen to the stream.
It's a fantastic experience.
Now, you can also if you so
choose, you can follow us on no
agenda social.com Which, and I
was I was stand corrected. Erina
has, has said that. He said
don't know if if threads. That
is the new Mark Zuckerberg,
Twitter clone threads. If they
want to federate with us, he's
all for it. So, so let's see how
long that lasts. Let's say how
long your posts on no agenda
social will be able to be seen
on threads. I'm sure I'm sure
it'll be quite a lot.
John C Dvorak: It's gonna be for
long. I don't think
Adam Curry: so either. The no
agenda show is a value for value
proposition. It's been that way.
We're now in our 16th year which
means we don't have any ads. We
don't take any creepy commercial
deals. No corporate money is
just you, who we have always
well from almost show five or
six probably have called
producers. Because you support
us you support the show you
support it in many ways time,
talent, treasure, those are the
three T's you can do lots of
things you can give us boots on
the ground reports you because
everyone's an expert in
something we love those people
make jingles set up servers
maintain things for us that no
agenda are generator, the shop I
mean, there's all kinds of
things. One of the biggest
talents that we like taking
advantage of is though is that
of our artists. And they upload
during the live show that they
are working hard, like, you
know, sketch super fast sketch
artist, but they do high end
arts, a lot of them and upload
it to nogen art generator.com so
that we can right after the show
was done. We don't edit, we just
put in the ID three tags. And we
do put a little opening font
opening at the beginning. And
then we add some art to it. And
the art shows up in all of the
podcast apps. It's something
new, it's something fresh, it's
not the same old logo like
everybody else. We've been doing
it as I think one of the longest
running shows ever to do it. And
we of course want to critique
those who screwed it up and did
something horrible that we
didn't choose, which which is
fun, because no one will give
you honest opinion these days,
because you know, feelings. But
we also want to hype up the
winning piece of art which was
served Parker Pauly with just an
outstanding piece. This was the
no agenda, Biden Harris logo
with cocaine overtones, shall I
say,
John C Dvorak: you know, also
Paul couture should be given
some kudos for changing the
layout of this page. Yes,
Adam Curry: he's done it now.
Thank you. I noticed that too.
He's done it now. By ease. He's
given us
John C Dvorak: by show number.
Yeah, show number was easier for
us to figure out what shows us.
Adam Curry: What are we looking
at? Excuse me.
John C Dvorak: So yes, the Biden
Harris thing, which was the
first thing I mean, it was just
it jumped off. There's a lot of
good stuff here, which is always
got to be annoying to the
artists when they do good work.
And there's a lot of good work
in this one. There's about five
pieces that are usable,
stunning. A lot of them I like
stunning pieces really? And
Adam Curry: well. Let's see. So
we had the Biden Harris, which
was the razor blade, although,
you know, I got Christina and
Kevin here. So that's a great
piece of art, but dad just so
you know, nobody uses a razor
blade anymore. Because you call
me out as a fuddy duddy
John C Dvorak: you're a fuddy
duddy. fuddy duddy Did you ask
them what they use instead of a
razor blade?
Adam Curry: Yeah, of course they
just do Molly to swing on. You
should
John C Dvorak: have called the
cops.
Adam Curry: We don't do coke. We
just do Molly. There were some
other good pieces. A lot of
banana peels which were
appealing, but didn't quite cut
it ghost guns was cute. I
personally thought the Kenny Ben
Taunton. Neil was very funny.
That's a Dutch joke.
John C Dvorak: Well, I liked the
comic strip. lagers,
Fredericksburg, we have gays.
We've got lots of gays.
Adam Curry: It was a little too
small but I liked it too. I
thought it was funny. And that
is the Fredericksburg sign.
John C Dvorak: Yeah the
Frederick
Adam Curry: we got lots of gays
we're a gay friendly town. So
you know it hunters Oreo cute
because they're more addictive
than codec by
John C Dvorak: the way. I will
say this about them. We have
gays we have lots of gays. Yeah.
Contrast helps. Yeah, yes. I
agree. React to contrast a
little bit on this piece. Yeah,
Adam Curry: because they kind of
blend it into the background too
much.
John C Dvorak: It's like low
contrast. Yeah.
Adam Curry: Yeah. What else was
there? Media assassins poster.
Cute. But now No, Hunter buy
lots of Hunter Biden coke
baggies. Yeah, there's just no
doubt. This Parker Polly piece
was a winner. A clear winner, a
dynamite winner. And just a
great job really was a great
job.
John C Dvorak: But the best of
the banana peel piece we should
mention his sizzle Tron had a
banana peel that was in the form
of like a slipper or a high
heel. Yeah, that
Adam Curry: was very cute. Very
higher up.
John C Dvorak: What was good
about this piece to me was it's
very dimensional. It's very,
it's just a beautiful piece of
art calling
Adam Curry: out the
dimensionality of the art. Very
good. Very good. So in this
value for value model, the idea
is, you get the show. We don't
we don't put it behind a
paywall. We don't make you
subscribe. We don't we don't
have to do a Patreon. No, you
just subscribe to it in the pot.
You could even just download it
from the web page if you want to
go to no agenda show.net. Which
is because that's a lot of the
2.0 features. By the way, the
chapters, transcripts, all the
show notes, you also get the
show notes. You get all the
clips mean, you can make your
own show
John C Dvorak: notes are
valuable forever. Yes.
Adam Curry: Oh, yeah. And
they're searchable. Now with
bing.io. Another beautiful piece
of value from Cirque de
nonnamous. This is how the
system works. Now, so people get
value, they do stuff like hey,
I'm going to make some art, bro,
I'm going to try this. I'll do
that. Now, if everybody who
listens, once in a while chipped
in a buck or two, it would be
dynamite. But instead we go
through this for years this
seesaw. You know, it's like, oh,
we're up and we're down or up
and we're down and it all and
after Fourth of July, everything
goes wrong. And then we have to
say it when I did not enough
support we go up and we know
it's not it's nauseating, it's
nauseating. Where's everything I
just ask yourself, did I get any
value from this? Is it worth a
cup of coffee? The three hours
we brought you? Is it worth a
cup of coffee? Certainly there
has to be some value that you
can ascribe to it. Do that,
please. In fact, I'm gonna tell
you what to do that upfront. We
have a website for that, which
I'm told will be updated soon.
vote.org/in A we're gonna do one
donation segment today and
because it's all short enough,
and we will be thanking upfront
our executive producers and
Associate Executive producers
because not only do you get to
return the value, but if you
come in at $200 above or $300
above, we give you a title as an
executive producer or Associate
Executive Producer for this
episode, which is a real credit.
What are you drinking?
John C Dvorak: I'm drinking a
Bud Light.
Adam Curry: I'm sure you are.
Let us start with our first
executive producer Erica waltz.
who checks in from Phoenix
Arizona. Oh, I hear those suds
soakin now and Erica bops off
right away with an instant Dame

my fellow listeners. A beautiful
new couple known as the Wowzers

thankful for Erica and she loves

John C Dvorak: Meanwhile, Erin
Bauer all also in Phoenix
coincidently came in with
another $1,000 And he's got no
no dirt or anything and I
couldn't find anything It looked
as interesting. So I'm not sure
if there's a relationship
between air and Erica or not
whatever the case is, you'll get
a double karma and they will let
us know what he wants to do.
knighting
Adam Curry: you've got karma now
Perhaps. Perhaps this is some
value being returned to us from
Arizona natives that as we
received reports that our
rainstick shaking had indeed
created monsoon related
thunderstorms across southeast
Arizona. Yeah, and people were
very happy very happy with our
rainstick prowess once again. So
it may be they're just happy and
the returning some value for us
bringing the right could be as
possible. Sir Jeff is in
Bethlehem Pennsylvania 333 dot

tried. I even because I have a
radio. I even considered at some
point, taking a little, a little
raspberry pi that had, you know,
being able to plug it in outside
the wall nearby with little
transmitter. So that it would it
would download the latest no
agenda. And then it would replay
that on the little transmitter

Sadly, could not make the big
Austin meet up this past week.
And of course we have the kids
in town so that I didn't think
they would appreciate driving an
hour and 45 minutes to do the
meet up in the back. You know,
they might have liked it for a
little bit but decided against
that. So instead, we think every
kid's going to be in town. They
are leave. They're going to go
to Austin for two days on
Thursday. So they'll be out of
the house on Thursday and they
go they fly back Sunday.

one near you start one it's easy
Unknown: sometimes you go hang
out with Tyson day you'd be
triggered you want to be
everybody feels the same it's
like
Adam Curry: man even though we
still have plenty of show left,
I suppose. Did you bring any
ISOs I have one
John C Dvorak: but play yours
first. Okay
Adam Curry: I have to
Unknown: bow has amazing night
is absolutely amazing. Nice.
Adam Curry: Here's my other one
salmonella salmonella salmonella
is part of a clip they didn't
play. Good. Yeah, exactly.
John C Dvorak: I only have one
is podcasting
Unknown: podcasts and
alternative news outlets are
enough.
Adam Curry: That's a little
long. So just a tad long. The
mean do you think that's better
than the thank you for your
thank you very much. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you
John C Dvorak: we'll play yours
again.
Adam Curry: Okay, hold on a
second. I'm gonna rewrite got
Iraq. It takes a second Iraq
here it is. Here's mine. Set bow
has
Unknown: amazing. That is
absolutely amazing. My
Adam Curry: it's not great. A
little at the end. I cut that
off. I cut it off.
John C Dvorak: I think the
amazing one it works. I don't
really have a problem with it.
Unknown: Podcasts and
alternative news outlets are
enough.
Adam Curry: Have you seen this
podcast? You know, I have a beef
here. I have a beef.
John C Dvorak: I do. I've got a
couple of yeah, a lot of beef in
Texas. Yeah, we got
Adam Curry: tons of beef. US
podcast misinformation goes
largely unchecked. Notice they
never put our show in these
articles. That's because we're
never we don't have
misinformation. Exactly. But
here's what they write. This is
News guard. So this is a stupid
firm that is now if we were
doing ads, we will be broke.
Because newsguard affirm that
rates the credibility of
websites announced in May it
will begin evaluating the
trustworthiness of popular
podcasts.
John C Dvorak: But this is the
idea is to run podcasts that are
stupid enough to bring in
advertisers that are squirrely,
generally speaking. Yeah.
They're wimpy and squirrely. And
they show you sure we can begin
to do this with the podcast. I
don't know Bill, what do you
think? And so they'll bail out
left and right and so they see
us and what's the point
Adam Curry: newsguard said it
will release the rating the
ratings rate ratings for some
200 podcasts in 2024, giving
more transparency to listeners
and an herbalist like listeners
care what transcript Yeah, so
listen to
John C Dvorak: the truth. Giving
transparency data. Well, what's
it going to do transparency?
You're going to treat it like
the podcast. Yes.
Adam Curry: And enabling
advertisers to avoid podcast
featuring information or content
at odds with their brand. Yeah,
which is everyone. editorial
director Eric Efron said reading
podcasts is, quote, more
challenging than other content
because of the audio format,
which requires time to listen
and to examine transcripts. And
this takes a tremendous
investment, because we use human
intelligence.
John C Dvorak: Wow, why would
anyone use the word human
intelligence unless they're
spooks?
Adam Curry: Because he's playing
off of AI, artificial
intelligence. But here's the
here's the beef that I have.
Being neo Nazi podcasters who
said Prince Harry and Megan son,
Archie is an abomination that
should be put down for being
mixed race had been convicted of
terror crimes. Now, I know a lot
about podcasts. And, in fact,
you know, me and Dave Jones, we
built a little index called
podcast index.org. And we know
what's a podcast and what's not
a podcast? So when they say this
is the Daily Mail these two
jokes Christopher Gibbons, 38
and Tyrone Paton Walsh 34 hosted
Black Wolf radio, homophobic,
racist, anti semitic
Islamophobic and misogynistic
podcast.
John C Dvorak: I can tell you
rap and put it in a nutshell. I
can tell
Adam Curry: you, that's not a
podcast. It never was in the
index. It was never subscribable
and we have everything that is
that is nut job. It might have
been a rumble. It might have
been a Bridey on but they never
put it up on an RSS all the
rumble. Yeah, so it's not a
podcast to get it right. Daily
Mail.
John C Dvorak: Well, I'm glad
you excoriated them. Yeah,
Adam Curry: it's annoying. It's
just annoying. All right,
John C Dvorak: it's back. So I
got Kennedy. I got this gal lift
guy who's gonna who's I don't
know Israeli intelligence. Maybe
I don't know what Yeah, so
Adam Curry: I explained the
background of this gal LWF guy
because he just popped up out of
nowhere he's a whistleblower.
He's a Mossad. Whatever he is,
he's an Israeli.
John C Dvorak: He seems to have
been he don't know what he is.
He is an Israeli we know that.
Adam Curry: He seems to have
been in business with Hunter
maybe or something with the
John C Dvorak: China he was in
business with the Chinese oil
company. And so
Adam Curry: all of a sudden,
this guy is spilling the tea on
the bike. Well,
John C Dvorak: here, he explains
it probably better than I can
with clip one Biden hit Dr. Gal
lift.
Unknown: Good day. My name is
Dr. Gahl. Loved. For the past 20
years, I have been the co
director of the Institute for
the analysis of global security,
a Washington based think tank
focused on energy security, or
stink tank. For the past 15
years, I've been a resident of
Israel. And for four years, I
was senior adviser to the China
energy company CFC, at the same
time of its dealings with the
Biden family. Under normal
circumstances, I will be
testifying before Congress about
my experience with CFC. Sadly,
due to circumstances I shall
describe here in this video, I
am forced to tell you the story
via video. My ordeal goes back
to a fatal decision I made in
March of 2019 to share with the
US government my knowledge about
the Biden family's relations
with CFC. As I said it was in
March of 2019. In a two day
session at the US Embassy in
Brussels. I insisted that the
meeting take place in March
because at the time they will
rumor was that Joe Biden who was
planning to run for president, I
saw it as my civic duty to alert
the government beforehand and
give it enough time to probe the
issue. I want to be clear, I am
not a Republican. I'm not a
Democrat. I have no political
motive or agenda. I did it out
of deep concern that if the
Biden's were to come to power,
the country would be facing the
same traumatic Russia collusion
scandal. Only this time was
China. Sadly, because of the DOJ
is cover up. This is exactly
what happened.
Adam Curry: A couple of things.
One, CFC that's a Chinese energy
firm. Right? Yeah. But to he
said he made a fatal mistake. Is
he dead?
John C Dvorak: No, he's not
dead.
Adam Curry: Good point. And he
also said no agenda, which I
kind of liked that he kind of
said no
John C Dvorak: agenda. That's
all. So he goes on. Yeah,
there's a lot of clips here, but
I'm only gonna play a couple of
them because he kind of is he's
not interesting. He's in terms
of his presentation. He doesn't
have any dynamic range. He just
goes on and on with his spiel.
And you have to wonder who is an
asset for somebody? We can't
figure out who, cuz Why would we
know but here we go.
Unknown: The DOJ sent to
Brussels, a delegation of six
people to prosecutors from the
Southern District of New York,
by the names of Daniel right
Intel and Catherine Ghosh. And
four FBI agents. One of them was
special agent, Joshua Wilson
from the Baltimore Field Office,
which also happens to cover the
state of Delaware. Or you want
to ask yourself, why did the
government dispatched to Europe
so many people? Why six? Why not
to? The answer is that they knew
very well that I am a credible
witness, and that I have insider
knowledge about the group and
the individuals that enrich the
Biden family. Over it intensive
to you to the meeting, I shared
my information about the Biden
family's financial transactions
with CFC, including specific
dollar figures. I also provided
the name of ROB Walker, who
later became known as Hunter
Biden's bagman. You yet as we
now know today from the
whistleblower testimony, Gary
Shapley, it took the DOJ the
whole 21 month to probe the
issue and to actually talk to
Walker. But perhaps the most
alarming information I revealed
was of a mole within the DOJ who
shared classified information
with Hunter Biden and his
Chinese partners. I told the DOJ
that Hunter was closely
associated with a very senior
retire retired FBI official who
had distinct physical
characteristic. He had one eye
one of the FBI agents at the
time, even told me, you know,
that would be very easy for us
to find there aren't that many
one eyed people in the bureau?
Adam Curry: Alright, that I have
a couple of questions because I
of course, I saw this whole
thing. No worries, like 15
minutes.
John C Dvorak: It goes on for
days.
Adam Curry: One why does this
Israeli national Why is he
really doing that? He's saying
because he's so patriotic for
America. I find that sketchy.
John C Dvorak: That's all I got
questions to keep going
Adam Curry: to. You know, what
is he really telling us? That's
new Other than this, this is the
only thing that's new is there
was a mole one guy that one is
the one I DOJ guy. That guy.
John C Dvorak: There's about
this for another question. Why
is he going to the embassy in
Belgium there's an Embassy in
Tel Aviv another good question.
Why is he just go to the local
embassy right there? He's in
Israel.
Adam Curry: I don't know that. I
find this this whole thing.
Question fishy. really sketchy?
John C Dvorak: I think it's I
think it's fishy in a lot of
different on a lot of dimension.
I
Adam Curry: really liked the one
I guy though. I mean, the one I
guys good. There's gonna be some
guy who's just gonna show up on
the scene. And when people got
that, that's the one.
John C Dvorak: That'd be the
guy. He's got one. I,
Adam Curry: you know, that's
gonna happen.
John C Dvorak: Hey, we'll play
one more.
Adam Curry: Yeah, which one?
Three.
Unknown: The information they
provided the FBI in March of
2019 was fully corroborated.
Nine months later, when the
famous laptop belonging to
Hunter Biden, which contained
all the emails and receipts, was
handed to the FBI. And guess who
seized the laptop from the
computer repair shop. It was
special agent Joshua Wilson, who
was with me in Brussels earlier.
In other words the FBI knew
about from me about the Biden
CFC deals before they got hold
of the laptop way before they
had enough time to investigate
the issue. But they didn't.
After Brussels, I never heard
back from the DOJ. But instead
of showing appreciation for My
whistleblowing I became public
enemy number one. For the past
four years that followed me, my
family Fonasa
Adam Curry: whistleblowing is
not just the guy who says, Hey,
someone I do knows all about it.
A whistleblower is someone who
works in government and is is
blowing the whistle on
corruption or something
happening inside the
organization right inside, you'd
John C Dvorak: have to be part
you have to be if he worked for
the DOJ, he could, he could say
was the whistle. So
Adam Curry: I don't like any
data, which I don't like. And I
think you and I agree that
clearly the Biden's are up to no
good but this guy just doesn't
seem like the guy. We need the
one I got that's that's clear.
John C Dvorak: And the other
thing too, but he does bring up
an interesting point about you
know, every time anyone goes
after the Biden's if we connect
that to Biden being involved in
the takedown of Europe, because
she he was mentioned in the in
the phone call that we played.
He's part of a bigger system,
they can't afford to let him get
become a distraction in any way.
Nothing's going to happen to Joe
Biden. No,
Adam Curry: but we know what
hunter is going to have this
unfortunate jet engine
ingestion. Just tell I'm just
like the
John C Dvorak: fact that you're
sticking with it and with it.
Unknown: After Brussels, I never
heard back from the DOJ. But
instead of showing appreciation
for my whistleblowing, I became
public enemy number one. Over
the past four years that
followed me, my family, my
friends, my associates, were all
arrest intimidated. And finally,
I was prosecuted. Despite all
that, on the eve of the 2020
elections, I sent my lawyer to
Washington to meet with then
acting deputy attorney general
is to reach out to you to ensure
he was informed about the
information had given his
department in Brussels 19 months
earlier. And also to warn him
that there may still be a mole
within the DOJ. Mr. Donner
you'll confirm to my lawyer that
he was aware of my claims but
now we learned from the IRS
whistleblower that it was
reached Donohue himself who
suspended the investigation few
weeks earlier on September
4 2020 on the grounds that it
was quote too close to the
elections
Adam Curry: I don't know man
What is this guy's up ended up
with I'll always be on the run
now. Yeah, right. And why What
are you worried about?
Unknown: My um,
John C Dvorak: I feel the same
way you do I think the whole
time that I got more I do we can
stop it there because it's just
pretty much the same. Yeah, but
it's you know, the DOJ is
courageous the same no crunchy
at this and these but he named
some names which is kind of cool
and but he himself this guy is a
little a little sketchy.
Adam Curry: All right, let me do
some other stuff. But here's
something that we've been
hearing. For several weeks.
We've talked about it on the
show. We've we've we've gotten
people to explain to us what
they are. And once again, here
comes forever chemicals forever
chemicals. It's everywhere.
They're forever. They're
chemicals that are for ever
Unknown: in tonight's
healthsmart new water concerns.
Researchers say nearly half the
tap water in the United States
contains forever chemicals known
as PFA Is there a group of
synthetic chemicals found in
many cleaning products that
linger in the environment and
the human body? A new US
Geological Survey study
discovered 45% of us tap water
contains forever chemicals with
the highest amounts in central
and southern California. The
exposure to PFS is linked to
problems like cancer, obesity,
thyroid disease, high
cholesterol, decreased
fertility, liver damage and
hormone suppression.
Adam Curry: Now when I heard
that list, first thing I thought
was man, they're doing anything
to cover for the ozempic side
effects but I think there's
something else going on here.
They finally figured out they
want to get to our water. And I
said when I heard this CBS
report with the solution because
you know we have the problem of
course that's the Forever
chemicals we've been it's been
been building for weeks. We've
kept hearing these reports
forever chemicals, okay,
everyone's hearing about forever
chemicals. There hasn't really
been a huge reaction outrage but
okay, here's the solution.
There's
Unknown: a disturbing new study
out today. The nation's drinking
water researchers found that
nearly half of the tap water in
this country contains
potentially harmful compounds
known as forever chemicals.
They're linked to a wide range
of health problems including
cancer, high blood pressure and
fertility issues. CBS is Mark
Strassman takes an in depth look
at a new technology that could
make so called Forever chemicals
disappear
technology. Nasty cargo 10,000
gallons of landfill water laced
with PFS, a known carcinogen
that nothing could get rid of.
Until now
we're concentrating the nasty
stuff to allow the Annihilator
system to treat it.
Not just treat PFS blast them
out of existence. These so
called Forever chemicals are
manmade used in Teflon
firefighting foam, even facial
makeup and previously
indestructible. This is where
the PDFs go. That's correct.
Last year we showed you
Battelle, a nonprofit research
institute doing a small scale
field test, distilling water
into pee fast concentrate,
they're really nasty stuff for
destruction. It worked a
technological first, leaving
behind water and salts harmless
to the environment.
You've got to have enough force
and energy to break those bonds.
Now another first scaling that
technology like this forklift
carrying the concentrate for
treatment. The PFS annihilator
lives inside this converted
cargo container with heat and
pressure. It blasts the PFS
concentrate these forever
chemicals gone without a trace
within seconds here in Grand
Rapids. This retooled water
treatment plant is North
America's first permitted pee
fast remediation facility. Were
you convinced it would work? We
had a lot of hope that it would
so How
scalable is it? It's could be
much more scalable, much larger
than this. This plants
treating a half million gallons
a week, the market seems
virtually limitless.
John C Dvorak: This is only the
tip of the iceberg of us being
able to get the scalable
technology to market and
customers for the
Unknown: first time. Nothing
about P FOSS is forever.
Adam Curry: The again, like what
is this now all of a sudden
they've got some way to treat
native ad Yes. But for some
company that's trying to get
investment I think not sure.
Kind of like oh,
John C Dvorak: so Jesse, Jaycees
wife and JC to a lesser extent
they're very good at searching
out the best of the best of
various kinds of things. And so
she's a freak about the water.
So she you know, bread is no
good. And they were using the
zero water system.
Adam Curry: They don't have a
Berkey
John C Dvorak: I'm just putting
this out there for people who
want to try these things. Okay.
And the one that they finally
know that one of the finally
concluded was the best because
it takes out fluoride,
supposedly, and I biotics and
all this crap in the water. And
I've been using it, it makes a
delicious glass of water, I
would say I'll say that. It's
called Clearly Filtered, Clearly
Filtered. Now Clearly Filtered
is waters tasty, but the device
that they have to do the water
container is a piece of shit
into the lid doesn't want to
stay on. Just keep it out to
hold it down when you're poor.
Nobody except for that flaw is
Brett's dynamite. And I think
that might maybe be the best of
the bunch of these things.
There's a whole bunch of these
companies that make this these
filters interesting. So it's
just a recommendation from me to
the audience.
Adam Curry: A couple other
things. There's some loose ends
I want to tie up. So this story
is all over the news. But I just
picked a random clip this is
from W IO n. But there's a
question that no one is asking
or that is just not being
discussed
Unknown: phase after violence
erupted in France, the French
Senate has now passed a
controversial law granting a
sweeping powers to police
authority. This after the
country was engulfed and riots
after the police fatally shot a
teenager in a Paris suburb city.
According to reports, a French
police can now spy on suspects
by remotely activating cameras,
microphones and the GPS location
system of a flow.
Adam Curry: So this is
everywhere this story of French
have passed a law that they are
now allowed to activate
microphones, cameras and GPS
systems and they can keep the
data up to six months. The
question I'm asking is how are
they doing this? No one is
discussing this. No one is tell
is it is Apple just saying okay,
Frenchie. That's all good. No
problem. Yeah, well, we'll just
turn it on for you. Is that how
it's happening?
John C Dvorak: No one's asking
the question. These are
journalists that they were you
expect them to actually
Adam Curry: you're crunching in
and out for some reason. Oh,
okay, hold on. Yeah, write down
the time. Well, here's what I
surmised. Because I think I have
the answer. What clearly must be
happening is the very same
social networks. I don't see
Apple going. Yeah, sure. French
no problem. Yeah, they Frenchie.
Yeah, we'll just flip it on for
you, man. You go, there you go.
Do whatever you want. No, I
don't think they'll do that. I
don't think even Google probably
wouldn't do that. But I do have
a feeling that Snapchat,
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram,
that they'll gladly give them
access to flip stuff on. The
apps can control it you give
your app permission to access
your camera access your
microphone X true access your
GPS location. So I think it's
these apps. I think the apps are
the are the are the the bad
actors in this.
John C Dvorak: What about the
telecom companies? They seem
like bad actors see, but then
Adam Curry: we'll have access to
the camera like the apps do the
apps you meet the people
literally give them permission?
Yeah. Can we access your camera?
Yeah, go for time. Yes, stupid.
So stupid.
John C Dvorak: Send your contact
list. Don't forget that. Oh,
yeah.
Adam Curry: Now here's another
thing that is rather irksome.
And fast
John C Dvorak: profit, by the
way, is probably a profit center
for the apps. Selling the
information to the government.
Yes. I would hate to say it, but
I'd probably be on board with
that. Company.
Adam Curry: I'm not sure why
this clip is only six seconds
long. In fact,
Unknown: the two hottest days in
world history is the history of
the planet.
Adam Curry: Why is this? Why is
this so short? That's weird
because you missed I must I must
have missed clipped. The point
is we all heard about it. The
John C Dvorak: hottest, hotter
you talked about this on the
last show, I need to remind I
know
Adam Curry: I just I just have
to have to point out that this
comes from the University of
Maine's climate re analyzer.
They're the ones who determined
this. This is where all this
news reporting comes from, as
Tuesday and unofficial on
official record for the hottest
day on Earth was set. And here's
how they do it. From their own
website. The Globe's average
temperature reached 62.9 degrees
Fahrenheit 17.7 degrees Celsius
on Tuesday according to the
University of Mainz climate re
analyzer, a tool based on
satellite data observations,
computer simulations used by
climate scientists scientists
for a glimpse of the world
condition this is a bogus story.
John C Dvorak: It's used it's a
lot of legs
Adam Curry: oh boy did it ever
because they couldn't do it
because they can add a map and
stuff and so on. And you might
have seen this story. Climate
change is making turbulence
worse Have you seen this?
John C Dvorak: No. Oh no.
Adam Curry: That was new Oh Just
plug it into the into the into
your Google thing there
turbulence climate change. I
mean, I can read you some of the
headlines. It was my daughter
even cuz she's she has she's not
a very confident flyer, CNBC bad

Turbulence is getting worse as
the planet warms, New Scientist,
turbulence on flights is getting
worse because of climate change.
NPR, climate change may be
making turbulence a lot worse.
Green matters. Why is turbulence
getting worse? The plane
experience is getting bumpy, USA
Today. What causes turbulence?
Here's what makes it worse.
You're on news. Fasten your seat
belts. Turbulence during flights
is getting more severe due to
climate change. NBC News. The
seatbelt sign is on viral videos
and climate change boosts
concerns about turbulence
insider how climate change is
making plane turbulence worse
The Verge it's not just you
flights are getting more
turbulent. BBC News flight
turbulence increases at planet
heats up study Washington Post
how global warming is creating
more turbulence on flights.
Yahoo News severe air turbulence
has increased by more than 50%
in the past 40 years because of
climate change. I can go on and
on and on. Allow me to explain
what's going on there. It's got
John C Dvorak: anything to do
with bedbugs
Adam Curry: know what the air
traffic control is doing in
conjunction with airlines is is
what's causing the so called
increased turbulence in order to
save the planet and save the
Earth. They are now trying to
position the way you approach
your destination airfield is
you're at 30,000 feet and then
at a certain point air traffic
control says okay, says okay,
Unknown: okay Devorah airways,
go down to 25,000 feet,
Adam Curry: and you'll go down
to 25,000 feet up you there for
a little bit. And then you after
you get a little closer and and
say, Please descend to 12,000
feet and you start descending to
12,000, you fly around there for
a little bit. So they can
sequence people, you know, you
kind of go in a step down
manner. And this is the way it's
been done forever. But oh, no,
now they're trying to change it.
And they're using AI, of course,
so that and this is crazy. So
that you can basically glide all
the way down in one fell swoop
without using your engine. So
you just put the engines to
idle, you start gliding down,
then there's no stops at any,
any particular altitude level,
all the way down pretty much
until you're ready to sequence
into land at the airport. And of
course, what happens is, you
don't get the pause just before
you know a level that may have a
little bit of chop as we call it
in the business is it's gonna
ride us riding it all the way
down, and it's scary and it gets
bumpy and it's not a pleasant
experience. The reason why
pilots and airlines don't do
this is to keep the passenger
comfortable. And this is now
being sold as climate change is
making turbulence worse. Isn't
that isn't the
John C Dvorak: presentation on
your part? Thank you sound
Adam Curry: effects to on Thank
you
John C Dvorak: glad to hear the
sound effects.
Adam Curry: You heard the sound
effect.
John C Dvorak: Oh, that Oh,
yeah. Well, you that's that's
always a winner.
Adam Curry: And then I got that
I got a note from one of our
producers about climate change.
Now because of course they're
also looking at the hottest day
on record by going back to since
1940. Because 1941 was the
coldest year on Earth since the
1600s when he when the sea belt
when the belt sea froze over
each year. In fact, in the 1600s
Swedish armies could walk to
Denmark and apparently according
to one of our producers, Denmark
still has a law on the books
that says if a Swede walks over
the ice to Denmark your it is
legal to beat him to a pulp.
This is a great law so it's all
such bunk. A such bunk it's just
unbelievable.
John C Dvorak: What we're
talking about bonk bonk you guys
might as well do the hit job
that on the media did to poor
Bobby to K
Adam Curry: okay, let's do the
Bobby The K hit job. All right
John C Dvorak: now everything
about this is slanted and it's
assumed and I have to I have to
assume that they're sincere.
They think Bobby The K. Robert
Kennedy Jr. is nuts. He's a
conspiracy theory. Drina Cruz,
he uses techniques to fool you.
He's a liar.
Adam Curry: So let's go and even
his family hates him.
John C Dvorak: Oh, yeah. And we
get can't forget that his family
hates him because he's so off
the rails. And by the way, the
conclusion is a good muzzle
summarize that it's only for his
legacies doing this appeal.
Remember he existed? That's such
a loser. That's
Adam Curry: like a Trump thing.
He's doing that just just to
just for his own ego. Is that Is
that what they're saying? Yeah.
Oh, nice. Kennedy's media on the
media gonna win
Unknown: in November 2020. For
most likely he won't win the
Democratic primary either. But
even if he gets nowhere, just
sticks it out. They're part of
this election cycle. He'll
Garner plenty of media coverage,
and his dangerous ideas will
reach more people. My article
was published on NBC news.com. A
few weeks after our encounter,
after I'd had plenty of time to
fact check and contextualize his
response. But not everyone's
going to have that luxury. for
help and advice on covering
conspiracy peddling candidates
on the trail. We called up Anna
Merlin. She's the author of
Republic of lies American
conspiracy theorists and their
surprising rise to power. In a
recent article, Marlin described
Kennedy's supporters as a quote
coalition of anti Vax activist
crypto enthusiast, Silicon
Valley moguls and supporters
from across the horseshoe of
extremism, the horseshoe
Adam Curry: of extremism. This
is a good one.
Unknown: So on the left, Mr.
Kennedy is obviously talking a
lot about his bona fides as an
environmental lawyer, which is
the job he sort of did prior to
becoming an anti vaccine
activist and he is weighing
heavily on the family name. On
the right and far right he is
promoting frankly, Trumpian
talking points, for instance,
talking about sealing the border
permanently blaming mass
shootings on pharmaceutical
drugs like Prozac.
Anecdotally, it appears that
almost every one of these
shooters were on SSRIs or some
other psychiatric drug,
promoting a view that the war in
Ukraine is fundamentally a proxy
war. And
President Biden has said that
was their deep platform to
depose Vladimir Putin. And if
that's why we're there, we're
killing a lot of Ukrainians as
pawns.
He has said that he opposes
trans women competing in women's
sports.
Adam Curry: This guy isn't
crazy. You can't have all this.
John C Dvorak: And I liked the
last bit on her laundry list. He
opposes of all things. He
opposes trans women, competing
and female sports is oh my god,
what a lousy guy.
Adam Curry: What if this is just
an a hole? I tell you. So that
John C Dvorak: was the laundry
list of Democrat. Talking
Points.
Adam Curry: We need a new list.
We need a list for Bobby, the K
of all the things he is. I mean,
he, he uses the horseshoe of
extremism.
John C Dvorak: Clip, never heard
of this.
Unknown: He also has an
incredibly combative and often
litigious relationship with both
mainstream media and sort of
mainstream systems of
government. He wants to persuade
people who think they're
Democrats that they're not
Democrats and people who think
they're Republicans that they're
not Republicans is how he put it
to Dr. Drew. So he's presenting
himself as kind of a nonpartisan
everyman, who is equally
dissatisfied with both sides.
So let's talk about how
journalists and media outlets
are handling this candidacy. You
wrote that ABC and CNN
demonstrated how not to cover
RFK Jr. Yeah. What did they do
wrong?
So this was a very kind of URL.
Adam Curry: Oh, well,
John C Dvorak: let me just I
know this. Oh,
Adam Curry: we should just
rename him Bobby. The cue. I
don't know why we even talk
about this man, Audrina Croft K,
Unknown: Jr. Yeah. What did they
do wrong?
So this was a very kind of early
example of media platforms, just
not really being ready to cover
Kennedy's candidacy. So what ABC
did was they sat down for a
fairly conventional candidate
interview, oh, maybe. But during
it, he did what he does, which
is he started spouting COVID and
vaccine misinformation. And so
ABC made the decision to just
cut that portion from the
interview, and then tell their
audience that that's what they
were doing just
Adam Curry: that was just like
vomit just spouting from his
mouth and was Orpheus about
vaccine disinformation.
Unknown: We should note that
during our conversation, Kennedy
made false claims about the
COVID-19 vaccines data shows
that the COVID-19 vaccines
prevented millions of
hospitalizations and deaths from
the disease. He also made
misleading claims about the
relationship between vaccination
and autism research, I
think that it was a well
intentioned decision. But what
it did was it gave Kennedy an
incredibly powerful talking
point to say, you see my views
on COVID. And vaccines are so
powerful and so threatening to
the establishment that they
cannot see the light of day.
This is what happens when you
censor somebody for 18 years.
They shut me up that long,
because now I'm gonna really let
loose on him for the next 18
months. They're gonna hear a lot
from
Adam Curry: Oh, let me guess.
Next question. So Becky? Thick.
So what do we do with a
candidate like Bobby the
barbecue? What do we do Becca?
John C Dvorak: Yeah, actually,
she this has got the second
example first, and then it falls
apart. You're right, that this
kind of coming up.
Unknown: CNN was a little bit
more unusual. Essentially, what
happened is that a CNN political
journalist named Michael
Smerconish had Kennedy on Ash
managed to use the word vaccines
exactly once in his
introduction, and then proceeded
to have a very friendly, jocular
interview with Mr. Kennedy about
his campaign that managed to not
ask about his anti vaccine
activism at all. Let's spend
more time talking about Mr.
Smerconish, his Fandom of Cheryl
Hines, Mr. Kennedy's wife,
if I had not convinced her that
I can win this race, I would not
be in it because she's the
ultimate boss.
Okay, listen, I do love your
wife. I'm Team Shirl.
Having said that.
So it was really really
striking.
So okay, that's what journalists
do wrong. How can we do things
versus
Adam Curry: when we're wrong?
What's the with the G? guttural
G wrong? I heard it before.
John C Dvorak: This is new. I
didn't notice this.
Adam Curry: What that's what
journalists do wrong.
Unknown: That was really, really
striking.
So okay, that's what journalists
do wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
Adam Curry: Wrong. I heard it.
John C Dvorak: Yes, that's
wrong. Wrong.
Adam Curry: What are you doing
it wrong? I said that wrong.
Unknown: So it was really,
really striking.
So okay, that's what journalists
do wrong. How can we do things?
Right,
right. I mean, oh,
Adam Curry: man, this is this is
NPR. I mean, it's just a
podcast, a throw it out of the
index. That's so bad said that.
Unknown: So it was really,
really striking.
So okay, that's what journalists
do wrong. How can we do things?
Right?
Right. I mean, the first of
course, is the absolutely cannot
go into arguably any interview
unprepared, but especially with
someone who has spent,
Adam Curry: I'm just stopping
this right now. I'm just
stopping it right now. This is
so dynamite. This is the truth.
You got two clips of the day.
John C Dvorak: Oh, I'm on a
roll.
Adam Curry: I mean, the fact
that this is being broadcast on
all right
John C Dvorak: guys on NPR, over
out of it Public
Adam Curry: Radio, it's you know
what this is, this is wrong. Our
Cuba
Unknown: please really interview
unprepared, but especially with
someone who has spent the better
portion of the later part of
their adult life promoting and
advancing false claims about one
thing specifically, and is very,
very, very trained and how to do
that. The second is to be
prepared to push back in real
time. Then the third, I think,
is sort of a broader existential
question, which is ask yourself
what the purpose of interviewing
is, like at its base, what you
are hoping to convey to readers
and listeners, the sort of
unanswered questions that you
know, an interviewer might go
towards answering.
Well, let's talk about that fact
checking in real time. It's very
hard. Yes, it is.
And Mr. Kennedy does something
that is a kind of known
rhetorical style that other
folks do, too, which is called
this sort of Gish gallop is the
term for it named after
Adam Curry: Whoa, Gish gallop.
John C Dvorak: Yeah, Gish,
Gallup is actually in Wikipedia.
What is it?
Adam Curry: What is it Gish
gallop
John C Dvorak: against Gallup?
is what I would say if anybody
actually does it. I don't think
Kennedy does. But it's so a Ben
Shapiro would do it, where you
just throw so much stuff at
somebody, they can't take it.
They're ducking you left and
right. And they can't respond in
time. Oh, by the time they want
to respond to something you say
something else. Oh, you mean
like with facts? Yeah, if you
were actually a Kennedy has a
lot of facts. But they, they
just assume everything. He says,
Is this information or there's
better facts, or?
Adam Curry: I mean, let me read
the exact definition. The Gish
gallop, or Gish gallop, which I
like better, is a rhetorical
technique in which a person in a
debate attempts to overwhelm
their opponent by providing an
excessive number of arguments
also known as facts, with no
regard for the accuracy or
strength of those arguments.
Gish galloping prioritizes the
quantity of the Gallopers
arguments at the expense of
their quality. The term was
coined in 1994 by anthropologist
Eugene Scott, who named it after
American creationist Duane Gish,
and argued that Gish use the
technique frequently when
challenging scientific fact of
evolution. So don't throw too
many facts at me, because then
you're Gish galloping kind of
known
Unknown: rhetorical style that
other folks do, too, which is
called this sort of Gish gallop
is the term for it, named
after Duane Gish, a creationist,
right so the idea that you're
creationist
Adam Curry: Gish
Unknown: gallop is that you are
making claim upon claim
Adam Curry: season. I'm sorry, a
heathen who believes in God. Oh,
no.
Unknown: Gish gallop is
the term for it, named after
Duane Gish, a creationist,
right. So the idea that Gish
gallop is that you are making
claim upon claim upon claim sort
of bad argument after bad
argument very, very, very
quickly, so quickly, that it is
hard for the person that you
were speaking to, to sort of
respond to all of those claims
effectively and in real time.
Adam Curry: Oh, what a horrible
What a horrible trick. I can't
believe Bobby, the queue is
using the Gish gallop trick.
That's, I mean, that's just, I
mean, even Trump can't do that.
No, Trump can't Wow, this is
John C Dvorak: Oh, man. So this
is the demean him further, you
know, and and by the way, it's
always associative. You want to
associate people with create
creation? Because yeah, yeah.
Because that makes you nuts.
Adam Curry: By the way, this
whole sequence of clips, it's
just like, I had a T bone steak,
a tomahawk steak, and then
afterwards you came out and
said, Would you like some
tiramisu with that? I mean, this
is so good. I'm just, I love
this. This is the best ever,
ever.
Unknown: Word one thing that is
sort of recommended for
responding specifically to fish
scallops is picking out one
claim and focusing in on it
whether it's the most ridiculous
the most dangerous, the one that
has been debunked the longest,
you can pick a single claim and
go from there, debunking a
single claim goes a long way to
sort of illuminating the larger
false premises on which some of
these claims lie.
So a lot of these pointers deal
with TV interviews, I work for a
television company, but I prefer
print because then you do have
more control over the outcome.
I'm actually reminded of the
brand alliinase law, which is
this internet adage that says
the amount of energy needed to
refute is an order of magnitude
bigger than is needed to produce
it. And in print, I can
contextualize quotes more easily
I can take the time to consult
Experts in fact check. Do you
think print journalist have a
little easier here? And have
they been doing a better job
with him? And I'm also thinking
that with presidential
candidates TV coverage is such a
big part of it.
Adam Curry: Oh, I'm sorry. Does
she mean like something the
Rolling Stone would write when
they say the Q anon tinged
thriller about child trafficking
is designed to appeal to the
conscience of a conspiracy adult
Boomer, is that contextualizing
that you're looking for Becky?
Nice in print? Wow. So but you
know, unfortunately, so much
television. And
Unknown: I really believe that
this is the appropriate
mechanism for covering claims
like this that often require not
just a lot of explanation, but a
lot of links to other sources.
You know, I really believe in
providing links to scientific
studies, position papers, good,
strong context that can lead
people to understand better the
claims that he's making. It is
so hard to do that in a two
minute TV hit, even in a longer
sit down interview, he just
incredibly, incredibly
difficult.
What have you learned from your
experience reporting on
conspiracy theorists? Is there
anything that you've done that
you wouldn't repeat?
In terms of things that I have
done that I would no longer do?
I would be less flippant about
their ability to affect
politics. I went on this cruise
for conspiracy theorists in
2016. And I went into it with a
sort of like light hearted
attitude thinking that this was
going to be a fun cookie story.
And almost immediately, it was
really checked really sobered by
what I saw on what was going on.
Andrew Wakefield, who is kind of
the father of the modern anti
vaccine movement was on that
boat, people promoting
conspiracy theories about the
financial system that put
themselves and others quite
literally in prison. I think the
one thing I would never do is
discount the ways that
conspiracy theories can shape
our politics shape our national
conversation and decimate
people's lives.
John C Dvorak: First is no
conspiracy. That's why they
ended up in prison.
Adam Curry: First of all, why
did I not get invited on this
cruise? Yeah. Setting what
Cruise was this?
John C Dvorak: I don't know
baby, I asked him when he would
know.
Adam Curry: This is this is this
is wrong.
John C Dvorak: Was that the last
of that? I think that was the
last unfortunately. But I do
have a sub clip. A little minor
little clip. Goodness, I need
more I need more. Three second
wrap up the whole thing. This is
like they kept talking about
that and maybe a different
person. This is the RFK
accusation clip and this is what
summarizes it for me.
Unknown: Beliefs are extreme or
his beliefs are often false and
misleading.
Adam Curry: Extreme
John C Dvorak: beliefs or
extreme or or false or
misleading
Unknown: beliefs are extreme or
his beliefs are often false and
misleading misleading beliefs.
Adam Curry: You're You're
misleading me with your crazy
beliefs, man.
John C Dvorak: His beliefs are
misleading. Wow. Does that.
Think about that sentence? Yeah.
You have beliefs? Yes, I do. Who
are you misleading with your
beliefs?
Adam Curry: Dumb dipshits like
this.
John C Dvorak: You could only be
misleading yourself if your
belief is not your comments, or
it's not what you say. I don't
know. I mean, this was a hit
piece from the get go. They made
him I mean, they're trying to
make is worse than they ever did
with Trump. Yeah. I think and I
think they're gonna continue
this, this attack. And the
problem is they drew out that
piece of all these vendors more
to it throughout the entire
thing. They did not refute one
single thing.
Adam Curry: No, because they
were they were being Gish,
gashed
John C Dvorak: gears. No reef
refutation of anything. He said,
No. Well, of
Adam Curry: course not.
John C Dvorak: It's like the
ivermectin stuff. There's so
much documentation for Arbor
Mason. It's horse paste. Get.
Exactly.
Adam Curry: Gish. gassers.
That's what I'm calling these
women. That's probably not very
nice, but you go holy crap. I
don't think I can come back from
that. I can't top it. I could
just give you some piece of
information that I'm sure is
misinformation disinformation.
It can't be true. But no, no, I
can't I can't. I can't do
nothing. I got nothing. I'm
going to end the show is to it's
everything just good. This is
it. We're good to go. That was
unbelievable. Good job. Hey, if
you wonder why they call it the
best podcast in the universe.
You just heard why. No doubt
about it. And And to add to
that, it's all in the Durham

adios mofos who we who we had to
Unknown: start with just how
concerned parents should be
about these viruses.
I mean, the big question a lot
of parents are asking how
concerned should they be about
this right now? Should should
should. Health officials are
warning this morning about a
growing threat of a so called a
triple damage that is people
getting sick from the flu COVID
and a seasonal virus that mostly
affects kids it's called RSV.
How do you tell the difference
if you're a period between the
flu and COVID and RSV?
Well, that's the thing, Kristen,
that's so you know, challenging
is that the symptoms are pretty
much indistinguishable.
Exactly, exactly, exactly.
Tripled Vivek. That's a phrase
that we're hearing. Can you
explain that what that means? So
so that means that we have to
keep our eyes on multiple
pathogens, multiple respiratory
viruses at the same time time.
Adam Curry: I'm in a, in a an
old Airbnb actually is not an
Airbnb, Airbnb, proper bed and
breakfast with a really
beautiful breakfast done by the
owner. And so it's old, it's an
old house and it has one of
those old Dutch toilets that I
think I've mentioned it before
on the show that has a ship
thing way up in the air wellhead
it has the the the reservoir way
up in the air so uses real
gravity big as gravity but it
needs that because it's one of
those typical old Dutch toilets
that has the shelf and for
people who don't have the main
Dutch toilet maker back in the
days start making the mainly for
hospitals and and there's a
shelf so when you poop then your
poop stays on the shelf so it
can be examined and no one ever
thought that's kind of
disgusting for the home and they
just will just just use the
hospital toilets and so it's
kind of weird when you sit there
I mean this was on the shelf and
that's why he the extra gravity
is on the shelf. In some places
it hits the fan in the
Netherlands it's on the shelf
there's
Unknown: poop upon the show
there's a poop upon the shelf we
keep it boy Oh hell for the
