No Agenda-Saturday News Letter

Dear Producer,
As we head to the Fourth of July weekend next week we expect to see another holiday drop off in both support and listenership. You should note that we work though these holidays unlike most media operations that give up and take the week off. Show your appreciation by contributing a lucky Fourth of July contribution of 74.14. If you do this we will get through what promises to be a lively week of news and analysis. Click here!

Tomorrow expect us to focus on the rigged World Cup with final predictions. Adam has also dug up some very exclusive insight into the IRS email scandal. This promises to be breaking news not found elsewhere.
 

Mr. Cool in action. No Agenda sys-ops chime in!

Also we cover the presidential candidacy of Joe O’Biden, who is bragging now about being dead broke in an attempt to top Hillary’s nonsensical claim that she and Bill were destitute when they left the White House. Although, that would explain the (long forgotten) fact that the twosome were trying to steal White House furniture.
 

Hey, can you spare a dime?

And, of course, we are one of the few (only??) USA-based news-analysis podcasts that closely tracks the never-ending shenanigans of the EU.
 

Goofy EU News? Whaaaaa?

I’ll have a few weird clips for you too, as usual. So make sure you listen to the last show for June 2014. And support the show through July with any form of contribution you can afford by clicking on the support page here.

Thanks,
Your co-host,

John C. Dvorak

Beware of SPAM

It seems there is a new rash of spammers out there filling your email inbox with spam...if you are like me and use gmail, fortunately most of it has gone to the spam folder and here is where I know that it is on the rise because what normally is 5 or 10 in my spam folder when I get to it in the morning, was 55 today! Just beware to never click on a link that is provided by someone in an email that you have opened, thinking it was from someone you may know. Obviously you shouldn't even open mail you do not recognize but most phishing scams or spammers will have you click on something within the email to actually activate the process. Need help because you aren't sure? Just contact me and I can point you in the right direction hopefully.

No Agenda Newsletter

 No Agenda
Newsletter
Dear Producers,
It’s that time of year when we do our Fourth of July celebration fund raising with both a 7-4-14 ($74.14) USA donation or the European date stamp of 4-7-14 ($47.14). The EU amount is cheaper because they do not even celebrate the holiday.
 
Typical American backyard gathering

Whatever the case we will keep this donation amount special until the 4th which comes right after next Thursday’s show. Please help.

Tomorrow meanwhile, new developments in the Middle East are keeping the news media busy. Chelsea Manning is now writing op-eds for the New York Times? Ourexclusive insight into the recent airliner mishap as well as enlightening clips and analysis of news you cannot find anywhere else.
 
This is all thanks to you. Visit the support page here or the regular donation pageto show your support for the Best Podcast in the Universe.

Your co-hosts
John C. Dvorak & Adam Curry

No Agenda-The Saturday Missive

Dear Producers,

Your No Agenda Show is headed to its seventh anniversary and, more than ever, it needs continued support, especially during a sluggish summer season. While others are on hiatus during the summer, your No Agenda Show continues unabated. This is so you, the actual producers and supporters, can be the most up-to-date with important current affairs that will affect your life.
 

Hopefully, you will continue to support the show with a generous contribution. The show would like to offer a special feel the heat open donation. What is the temperature outside as you are reading this email? 70? 80? 69? Donate that amount for a special feel the heat call out on Sunday’s show.

Otherwise, visit the support page here and find a support plan that suits you.
 

We also like to remind you that most every bank has special time-payment plansthat allows the bank to take out a certain amount from your bank account and mails us a check monthly or weekly or at whatever frequency you desire for however long you desire. This is usually provided as a service to all customers.

The mailing address the bank can use is No Agenda Show, Box 339, El Cerrito, CA 94530. This is also an address you can use for special direct contributions of support or anything else you want to send. I received a mug this week. Woo hoo.

The summer is here, so please keep your support steady. And do not miss a show.
 

On a lighter note I got a funny photo from Sire Gene showing Adam photo bombing Gene and Adam’s visiting niece. I had to share this. All photos can be improved with photo bombers. Luckily Photoshop can remove the offenders.

Your co-host,

John C. Dvorak
PS. Yes people complained about the lack of a cute kitten in the last newsletter. So I found it interesting that singer Taylor Swift apparently has a slew of cats and is destined to become a cat lady. Her new little kitten has become the center of attention. To a cat this is hitting the jackpot.
 

Soon, the empire will be mine!

Audible Gold for $1.95

I have been an Audible member for years.. that is until I simply ran out of time to read/listen to all the books I had downloaded.. I was getting close to signing up again when I found this offer which was simply too good to refuse! If you are unfamiliar with Audible...
Audible is widely regarded as the best audiobook service out there, and $14.95 per month for a one-book subscription is not a bad deal. But here's an even better one.
For a limited time, you can get three months of Audible Gold for $1.95 per month when you apply coupon code TZ2014. That's a grand total of $5.85 for a subscription that would normally cost you nearly $45. And if you decide not to continue, you'll walk away with three audiobooks.

Microsoft Email-Our terms are changing! Email

I am getting inundated by clients asking what they are supposed to do and if this is a legitimate email or not. To answer quite simply:

Yes, it is legitimate and no, there is nothing you need to do. In fact you should NOT be clicking through the message at all. Why not? Because with most email that is sent out to people it is tracked by whether or not it is opened and more importantly, if it is read and if you click on a link within the email message then obviously it is considered to be read.  If you don't care about receiving email like this in the future then you need to do nothing more however if you wish to stop receiving email  like this then scroll down to the bottom of the message and in most cases you will find a 'unsubscribe' link. clicking on this link should take you to a page that says you are now unsubscribed and/or provides your current email address and wants you to click to accept the fact that you are unsubscribing. This is ok as well. However, BE AWARE of the ones where you click on the UNSUBSCRIBE link to end up on a page that prompts you to first enter your email address.. YOU DO NOT WANT TO INSERT YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS because if you do, you are actually providing that company with a legitimate email address that is sure to be spammed in the future, if not sold off as a legitimate email address to a 3rd party spamming company.  In the case of this email from Microsoft, you will first have to click on the PRIVACY STATEMENT link at the bottom of the email you received which takes you to another long winded page about their transparency and privacy, blah, blah, blah. Here you will need to scroll down to the section about your MICROSOFT ACCOUNT and click on the OPT OUT link where you will then have the option to opt out of various advertisers.. trust me when I say you will always have to accept some of these because just like Google, Yahoo and Facebook, Microsoft is intertwined with so many companies that you are going to have to take part in some in order to utilize their services.  

If you wonder why you are receiving this email from Microsoft in the first place, it would be because you have a Windows 8 machine and if you remember initially signing in to your computer where it prompted you for your microsoft account sign in and if you didn't have one, to create one OR if you were wise enough to bypass this by signing in to your LOCAL MACHINE where you can bypass signing in to Microsoft, then you are still receiving it because in order to use the Microsoft Store, you would have had to sign in to your Microsoft account. So regardless of how you try to bypass Microsoft, they will always find a way..

If you utilize Google Gmail then you can always add this as SPAM and further mailings will go directly to your spam.. since there is really no need to read this statement.

I am enclosing part of the email message which does include the link to their privacy statement which you can then decide whether or not you wish to opt out of future mailings.
