Adam was giddy about the controversial, and recently removed NASA photos that show what appears to be a space ship or ‘moon base’ on Mars! The photos were taken by the Spirit exploration craft on the martian surface. More info here.

During NA #264, Dvorak mentioned this episode of CNBC’s American Greed which featured the story on how Health South cooked their books in order to create the illusion that they were doing better than they really were.  What revenue the company did take in, they paid to the IRS in taxes so they could further perpetrate the fraud. Dvorak postulated that regulators are reluctant to investigate and prosecute since they are taking in all that tax money.

Surprises From Bernanke’s Forced Disclosure!

Adam likes Dylan Ratigan of MSNBC (used to be on CNBC). He often discusses the problems and fraud being perpetrated by the Federal Reserve with the bank bailouts and Quantitative Easing.

Here Ratigan interviews author Chris Whalen.

Now at the App Store, snitch apps! First there was the Patriot App to report suspicious behavior, now there’s Drive Me Crazy, a voice activated app where you can report someone and issue a virtual ticket! According to Adam Curry, this GPS enabled app records the time and place of the violations and then reports this information to the DMV and all insurance companies!

Adam explained further that this snithch app was produced by Philip Inghelbrecht, who created the popular music ID app, Shazam. Adam said all listeners of No Agenda should boycott Shazam and use Soundhound instead!

John and Adam further discussed how this is all part of See Something, Say Something and is similar to the infamous Stasi and other eastern european security organizations that encouraged snitching on your neighbors.

We at No Agenda Entertainment are intrigued at Drive Me Crazy’s capability to flag ‘cuties’ you see on the road. Maybe it ain’t all that bad?

During NA 262, John Dvorak offered up this clip about Hooters. Adam responded, “the girls there have no more hooters” and “it’s boring and has horrible food!”. He also compalined that the girls there are flat-chested due to a lawsuit.

Harmony is a new book by HRH The Prince of Wales. During NA #262, Adam was impressed with some of the ideas expressed by Prince Charles in the book.

Description:

For the first time, HRH The Prince of Wales shares his views on how our most pressing modern challenges—from climate change to poverty—are rooted in mankind’s disharmony with nature, presenting a compelling case that the solution lies in our ability to regain a balance with the world around us

With its holistic approach, this provocative and well-reasoned book takes the discussion of sustainability and climate change in a new direction. Prince Charles shows how the solutions to problems like climate change lie not only in technology but in our ability to change the way we view the modern world.

For decades, the Prince of Wales has been studying a wide array of disciplines to understand every aspect of man’s impact on the natural world, and in that time he has examined everything from architecture to organic farming to sustainable economics. Now, for the first time, he speaks out about his years of research, presenting a fascinating look at how modern industrialization has led us to a state of disharmony with nature, created climate change, and pushed us to the brink of disaster.

The Security Industrial Complex is here according to Adam! During NA # 260 he discussed Counter Terror Businees magazine which features all the tools of the trade to run a Gitmo style, security operation!

During NA #260, Dvorak was impressed with this 15 year old’s speech about the recent UK student riots over the huge tuition hikes.

Nine times out of ten, it’s swamp gas!

Play the Challenge!

Will Lisac from NoAgendaChallenge.com reminded us that it’s not to late to get these awesome coins! By buying them you help support No Agenda plus you get an awesome memento to show your friends.

What’s the challenge? Well, it’s a game you can play if you ever meetup with another No Agenda listener!

From their site:

You will obey! There are specific rules governing a coin challenge that should be followed out of respect to tradition and the group.

• Traditionally, the challenge is initiated by drawing your coin and loudly announcing that you are initiating a “coin check”. Another, but less vocal method, is to firmly place the coin on the bar or table and continuously tap the coin until all have responded.
• The response consists of all persons being challenged drawing their coin in a like manner.
• If you are challenged and are unable to properly respond, you must buy a round of drinks for the challenger and the group being challenged.
• If everyone being challenged responds in the correct manner, the challenger must buy a round of drinks for everyone he or she challenged.
• Failure to buy a round is considered the height of villainy, should one fail to fulfill his or her obligation, he or she must dedouche himself or herself with a large donation to the No Agenda Show or suffer being ostracized by fellow producers.

Now that you know the rules, you don’t want to get caught at a producer meet-up without a challenge coin or the drinks could be on you! This is a limited coin run so be sure to order your Gitmo Nation Challenge Coin from No Agenda Challenge before we sell out.
