There is a technical glitch at the beginning of this episode which leads to about a minute of silence. We started over when we realized that we weren’t recording. One day, that bit of knowledge is going to win you a trivia contest.

I replied that I am not a fan of that site so not very trusting of any story coming from it….very infowars-ish.
And now I learn Mike Adams actually has been on Alex Jones\’ show. Learn something new everyday.
It’s true. I’ve heard in conversation that Mike Adams REALLY doesn’t trust the American government, possibly living outside of the country now?
But, yeah, they are two of a kind. A horrible raving kind.
