About this episode

Twitter's board of directors has officially deployed a poison pill defense to obstruct Elon Musk's $43 billion hostile takeover bid. The strategy allows existing shareholders to purchase discounted stock if any entity acquires more than 15% of the company, effectively diluting Musk's potential stake. While pundits Scott Galloway and Kara Swisher dismiss the move as a defense against free speech blather, the maneuver highlights the escalating corporate war over digital discourse and platform control.

In Shanghai, 25 million residents remain under a draconian three-week lockdown, resulting in rare public confrontations with hazmat-clad police and the conversion of schools into quarantine centers. Meanwhile, the World Economic Forum and Accenture are piloting the Known Traveller Digital Identity program with Canada and the Netherlands to implement biometric border crossings. Domestically, Union Pacific Railroad has ordered CF Industries to slash fertilizer shipments by 20%, threatening agricultural yields across the American Midwest during the critical spring planting season.

Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter presents a counter-narrative to the Bucha massacre, alleging Ukrainian National Police conducted a cleansing operation against residents who collaborated with Russian forces. The episode also tracks a verbal slip by South Australia Premier Peter Malinauskas, who referred to the global pandemic as a plandemic during a live press conference. From yak burgers in the Texas Hill Country to the sinking of the Moskva, this installment deconstructs the week's most suppressed headlines.

Easter Traditions, Yak Burgers, and Texas Survivalism

The hosts discuss unconventional Easter meals, including yak burgers sourced from Montana and the historical consumption of rabbit in the Netherlands. Observations are made regarding a silent trend of survivalism in the Texas Hill Country, where residents are reportedly stockpiling rice and preparing hunting equipment.

Dvorak It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning Yes, this is a typical California staple for Easter. Yakburgers? Used to be rabbit. Yeah, rabbit growing up in the Netherlands I remember that. In the 70s people would always be eating rabbit

00:49 We had a nice little French restaurant, Togo. Oh this is the one that closed? This is the one that closed. He went to France and had a stroke, that's great! That doesn't help because they closed. Yeah they closed and he used to have rabbit à la moutarde all the time it was at a Togo meal. A la libtard? Rabbit à la libtard? Yeah rabbit libtard We just made a new dish. I think we need to publish a recipe. Rabbit, I liked ala libtard better though yeah so yak burgers where'd you get the yak? Mimi got the yak from a supplier in Montana nice but there's a bunch of yaks

01:38 It seems as though most of the yak grown for consumption is there in Texas. Yes, a lot of these ranches... Not taken advantage of? No no I got to you know we'll get into it where everyone right now is just collecting rice and canned goods here at the Hill Country! It's really true it's a silent kind of thing that's going on Everyone's talking about, you know I got me these big buckets and I got some plastic. What are you going to do with it? Put rice in there? Why? Well I don't know man! Doesn't feel right what is going on put some rice in there. Yeah people getting polishing up their hunting rifles the crossbows they're preparing here in The Hill Country. I'd like to get the Elon Musk news out of the way right away because there's something in there that we need to discuss as it pertains to this show

Elon Musk, Twitter Poison Pill, and Corporate Defense

Twitter's board of directors implemented a poison pill defense to block Elon Musk's $43 billion hostile takeover bid. The strategy allows existing shareholders to purchase discounted stock if any entity acquires more than 15% of the company. Speculation continues regarding Musk's "Plan B" and the potential for the stock price to drop following the blockade.

02:29 Do you have any Elon Musk clips? I do. You know me, do I have it? No no, you have some serious series and sequences I see so that'll be interesting. Oh yeah, got a bunch of those. Musk musk musk... How about this? Actually there is the Musk in here yes and i know what it is In fact, it happens to be part of that one series. That long series on women online. Well let's wait for that then. Let's just go through the top line and then if you want we can get into women online Yeah, it has to do with Musk because he's going to ruin it for everybody. Well as I predicted he is going to ruin Twitter and I think he's well on his way!

03:27 Tonight, after Elon Musk's bid to take over Twitter the company is bored fighting back with a corporate defense tactic known as a poison pill. If Musk or anyone else acquires 15% or more of the social media platform Twitter will allow other existing shareholders to buy additional shares at a discount just last week must disclosing that he now owns more than 9 percent of the company making him one of the largest shareholders it puts a blockade up from us if he wants to go down the corporate radar route to ultimately limit his ability to build shares. It's Twitter's latest move to box out the world's wealthiest man last week, they offered him a seat on their board when he found out he wouldn't be allowed to publicly criticize the company. He turned it down. Twitter has become kind of de facto town square just hours after announcing is 43 billion dollar offer to buy Twitter on Twitter Musk appearing at a TED conference saying his buyout is extremely important to the future civilization

04:24 But he was evasive when asked what he'll do if his offer is rejected. Is there a plan B? There is. Woo! And Cecilia, Twitter says this plan is similar to other plans adopted by publicly held companies in comparable circumstances Now Elon Musk is known to be unpredictable so it's a wait-and-see game for what his next move will be Yeah yeah this is you know it's keeping Twitter alive that's for sure That's all the conversation seems to be on Twitter. Oh man, Elon! He is going to do this and he is going to that... Now the poison pill as far I know from my public company experience it not seen a positive thing for the market

05:06 I think you're right. Yeah, poison pills are considered a negative thing because even if someone else...I mean I thought that at least maybe we'd get a bidding war? I'm sure there was maybe one perhaps two maybe existing shareholders who would have wanted to counter Elon's bid but they too would be subject to this poison pill correct? Everyone would be yeah. So Monday it seems like the stock should open down and Elon should be selling into it Well, that may be his plan B. Yeah I don't think he has any other plan B but as i said what Elon does is he destroys things comes in and it destroys things and this is a destruction of Twitter which I'm personally quite happy about now what was interesting is you know the response from yeah in this case I just have to say the left the politically left-leaning who dominate Twitter thanks to its content policies

CHAPTER 03 / 52 Discussion

Mika Brzezinski, Recycled 2017 Media Control Clip

A viral video purportedly showing Mika Brzezinski criticizing Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter is identified as a recycled clip from 2017. In the original footage, Brzezinski was discussing Donald Trump and the media's role in controlling the public narrative. The segment highlights how old media clips are manipulated and recirculated to fit current political events.

mika brzezinski· msnbc· twitter· elon musk· media narrative· disinformation

06:04 I was so surprised how well this one and it was not wrong To look at Mika Brzezinski saying hey controlling the message the narrative. That's our job But yeah, of course have this clip because we played it for the first time in 2017 This is a new version of it know It's the same clip It's the same... Are you sure? Because they're talking about Twitter being taken over by Musk. No, no! If you look at the tweet that everyone retweeted it says Mika Brzezinski talking about Elon but she's not this was talking about Trump back in 2017 about him possibly creating a media company etc she does not mention Elon in this

06:51 It is the same clip. I went back, double checked... So you're telling me that that clip-I don't have a copy? I do! I have three copies of course But well I know about the of course part of that but uh Well see as- Are you telling me this is just a recycled old clip That's being pawned off?! Yes sir Uh not an officer but okay Nor a gentleman See I did not catch that Yeah well this was going to say This is why you support this show Now, there's two of us... I do support this show. There's two of us luckily and I caught this right away! Oh my God, this is a recycled clip but it was so interesting that whoever launched this first put in Mika Brzezinski talking about Elon Musk taking over Twitter and if you listen there's no mention of Elon in the clip And yes, I do have three copies because we played it three times throughout the show since 2017

07:47 And although she still said it, which is the beauty of it. It got almost no traction back then but be aware that when people post stuff this is manipulative and lots of people fell for... People even argued me on it! It's like, well here why don't I send you the clip from 2017. Here it is. Exactly and that is that's exactly what I hear what Yamiche just said is what I hear from all the Trump supporters that I talked to who were Trump voters and are still Trump supporters, they go yeah you guys are going crazy. He's doing what he is so surprised about? He is doing exactly what he said he was going to do Well I think that the dangerous edges here are that he is trying undermine the media trying make up his own facts

08:36 and it could be that while unemployment and the economy worsens, he could have undermined the messaging so much that he can actually control exactly what people think. And that is our job Yeah, that was 2017. But she said it because that's exactly how the left in the United States think! They think hey we need to control this everything that is that we deem dumb unscientific stupid conspiratorial That should be kicked off so now let's play something from The Tards from 2022 This is my hate listen the professor and Cara Anne

CHAPTER 04 / 52 Discussion

Scott Galloway, Kara Swisher, and Free Speech Platforms

Pundits Scott Galloway and Kara Swisher dismiss Elon Musk's focus on free speech as "First Amendment blather" and argue that alternative platforms like Gab, Truth Social, and Rumble lack business value. The hosts counter this by emphasizing the importance of decentralized platforms like No Agenda Social for community independence.

scott galloway· kara swisher· mastodon· rumble· gab· free speech

09:19 better known as Scott Galloway and Kara Swisher, but that's now my new name the professor and Cara Ann. And they're talking though they can't get enough of talking about Elon but listen to what their thinking is It's really outdated thinking considering how this podcast has thrived for 15 years when he has a vision for Mars It's the right vision and I think he can articulate something really compelling and I don't understand half of what he's saying I'll make this guy knows what he's talking about when he talks about moving equipment into the atmosphere For less money using reusable rockets when he talks about electric vehicles

09:59 He has absolutely no vision here other than First Amendment blather. He hasn't been able to articulate... Free speech, not First Amendment yeah. Okay but there's none of it makes any sense what does he want to kill a live puppy on Twitter spaces? What is he talking about free speech? Yeah all right why wouldn't you buy why wouldn't just by Gab parlour true social rumble mastodon diaspora or why wouldn't do that because this is the prize okay Why would he My Great Dane just took a dump the size of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Why wouldn't you buy that? There's more value in that than any of the firms you just mentioned here, okay? True social getter and what's the other one grab? Yeah, but it's popular parlor has to done rumble rumble They love they love this whole big First Amendment free speech thing And because they want it they want a wallpaper over the fact that more people they're not very good business More people are downloading curtains calm app

10:55 then there's nobody on these platforms. They don't work! Yeah, but they are on Twitter so this is the one that someone wants to own. Oh, this says it all! Wow. I mean, I'm not doing it but...I could easily give you a clip of the day for digging that piece of crap up. No no we can't! I won't accept it for a hate clip. It's- I cannot in good conscience accept Clip Of The Day for a hate clip. You're relishing those clips So couple things here first of all the First Amendment free speech blather what does he want to do kill a puppy on Twitter spaces?

11:36 By the way, is Twitter space still a thing? Apparently. I guess so. Yeah, I'm sure it is. I'm sure people use it but then Kara Swisher technology opinionist for The New York Times talks about Mastodon as if its for sale Idiot no you can't buy mastodon, and then they both agree that these platforms Don't work this this free speech first amendment blather. No one wants it It's less popular than the curtains calm app and so this this but well yes first of all if that's the way You feel then what's the what's the bitch? Yeah, well I think he's probably a shareholder of Twitter So he's annoyed

12:25 He doesn't like it. That's where the power is. That is the power of the decentralized world we're moving toward that's what we're a part of, that's what noagendasocial.com is a part of yeah are they worth billions of dollars? No not at all! Are they worth billions of dollars to us to the NOAgenda Gitmo nation? Yeah Yeah, of course. It's our lifeline! It works really well we communicate with other groups We get pissed off and do whatever we want And these guys are still in the... Oh let's keep all that free speech blather out of the way They're gonna lose so hard This is going to be so bad Anyway

CHAPTER 05 / 52 Discussion

Nina Jankowicz, Women Online, and Harassment Statistics

Author Nina Jankowicz discusses her book "How to Be a Woman Online" and research from the Wilson Center regarding harassment of female politicians. The study claims over 336,000 instances of gendered abuse were directed at ten US candidates during the 2020 election, with 78% targeting Kamala Harris. The discussion frames online harassment as a form of censorship that discourages women from public engagement.

nina jankowicz· wilson center· kamala harris· disinformation· gendered abuse

13:16 I'm glad Elon is ruining Twitter. That's a good thing! All right, now let's do your Elon in the women online if that's where you want to go now? Well, I might as well because we have... Elon is used as the hook. It's very creative They had this woman come on who just did a book about women being excoriated online and I got way too many clips of this but it's so interesting at least to me You can kill this whole bit If you think it's not good But I'll tell you this I like the way they use Elon. They use Elon as a hook at the beginning and then they use him as a hook... ...at the end, it's got nothing to do with Elon. So they use Elon as bookends is what you're saying? Pretty much yeah and so uh Elon sandwich

14:01 Yeah, let's go. Women online NPR Tech titan Elon Musk has launched a hostile bid to take over Twitter the social media platform favored by many politicians celebrities and journalists That's because he says he's a free speech absolutist And he says the platform now has too many rules about what people can say But our next guest says there's a group of people who are essentially censored on social media right now women especially women of color Women of color have the loudest voice in all media right now. Are you kidding me? You don't even have to know what a form 990 is if you're sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry You're like I'm doing the bit sound like these two women they're gonna be yacking away here are full of crap no

14:47 I'm sorry are indeed because of the vicious sexist and racist abuse. They're subjected to online Nina Janko which is known for her research on online disinformation and its effect on democracy Her latest book is called how to be a woman online Well Ask Mark Pugner. He knows how you should be online disturbing detail the vastly disproportionate attacks that women face compared to men when they try to have an online presence and she's with us now to tell us more Nina Jenkins welcome Thank you so much for joining us Thanks for having me. Oh, yeah She didn't do it right? Yeah, she's a Hi-hi Imogen do we know where she's from what I say she's a Reese he's one of the researchers

15:31 No, she's like a book writer and... So Elon Musk is basically the prototype A-hole who bugs women online. That's the kind of the association that I think they just made what you just heard which i think was... What's the word? Chicken shit! Yes it's very chicken shit so here we go but now starts getting broken out I'll break this up into segments because and the ending with some dumb thing. Although I'm being obviously a misogynist by even suggesting such a thing, but let's go with part two. All right give it to me straight how bad is it? Give us some parameters about how to think about this

16:14 Well, you know it's hard to put a number on things because it's hard to detect this harassment a lot. The harassers online are quite creative in the ways that they harass women but when my team at the Wilson Center sought to document some of the harassment during the 2020 presidential campaign over a period of two months on six social media platforms we found over 336 thousand pieces of gendered or sexualized abuse and disinformation directed at just 10 US candidates. And most of that was directed at then vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris, 78% of it in fact. So that's just a short period of time, just a few platforms and when you compare what women receive as some of my colleagues have done in other organizations with what their male counterparts receive, its just far and away much much worse especially if your woman of color or a woman of intersectional identity. Abuse and disinformation, a new category!

CHAPTER 06 / 52 Discussion

Online Criticism, Intersectional Identity, and Political Brutality

The hosts debate the severity of online harassment, suggesting that public figures should expect criticism as part of their roles. They discuss the concept of intersectional identity and observe that political discourse on the left can be more brutal than on the right. A side observation is made regarding the ubiquitous use of filters by women on platforms like Instagram.

intersectionality· online harassment· filters· instagram· political discourse

17:14 What's the intersectional thing I wonder? What does that even mean half the time. I don't know but i want to hear examples. Have you ever gotten any harassment online ever? Every day, every single day! Everyday someone says something ugly to me yes and this is really feelings deeply usually not Well, then you're just a hard-hearted bastard. Sometimes someone will say something that... Yeah of course! Sometimes people can be very mean and say something very hurtful and yeah bugs me but I know how this works. I'm an adult

17:51 Well, these women don't seem to get that part of it. But let's go with... And by the way I want everyone to consider the premise why are you online in the first place? You come online and make some opinions, oh look what i think! Then you then you get grief and then you uh you know you get hounded off the system. You don't have to be online at all Also there is no reason to be online If your a candidate running for president It's open season on you and once you're a politician, certainly in the House of Representatives or the Senate or White House. You can say whatever you want about anybody and people are going to say a lot about you so it is almost trial by fire that is very necessary if you want to be the chief executive of the United States. You have to have some skin.

18:42 Part three. In the interest of people who don't live this or have this experience, what kinds of things are we talking about? Well it's a whole spectrum of abuse. Some of it is a little bit more anodyne you know men referring to as girly dear princess sweetie honey I get the bimbo slur a lot B word C word often come up

19:21 Men will comment on my hair, my breast size the symmetry of my face. There's a lot of assertions especially among women who are public facing voicing their opinions online that these women must be transgender because otherwise they wouldn't he so assertive They look for evidence of an Adam's apple or a five o'clock shadow. Sometimes we hear men sexualizing or diminishing women's roles in society saying, oh you know she is just arguing with you online because she wants to sleep with you or I've had someone say it to me and she is angry at you because no one would hit it and stick with it. I have had men say that you birth babies! We build bridges! And then often I get from the far right

20:07 Wow, I don't even know where to start with that one. But wait everything she said if you listen to that little ditty at the end and then she says and then the Michigan from the far right And then the Republicans this was just the Democrats doing that That's exactly what I was gonna make the joke but that's in fact kind of what she's admitting too No, that's not kinda what she said. That is what she said Have you- Jeez, just play the very end. She does a litany of Adam's apple jokes and everything now play the little bit at the end I want to play the Adams Apple jokes Hold on a second here we go

20:44 It's true. It's true. The left is the one, and I believe it is true...I believe the left is much more brutal than- I think so too! The right wingers are just can be as bad but I think they're a little more gentle because many of them are more religious for starters Yes All that all that left wingers are all atheists

21:30 And so that calms it down a little bit. But I, that whole litany that you heard about Adam's apples and six o'clock shadow... Five o'clock shadow. It has never been a six o'clock shadow except in California. Six o'clock shadow. So couple things one one what? That, yeah if all of that were true. Yeah that sucks but you know have a little bike ride past Instagram and tell me that women aren't trying to look super good with the filters they use every single one of them every single one of them uses some type of filter for their photos for their videos I was gonna say something else about it this that was really incredible i want to hear more of this do you have more

CHAPTER 07 / 52 Discussion

Social Etiquette, Egg Carton Memes, and Online Trolls

A discussion on social etiquette covers the use of terms like "hun" in retail environments and the rise of specific online insults, such as sending empty egg carton memes to women to mock declining fertility. The segment addresses the psychological impact of "swarming" by trolls and the resulting security concerns for public figures.

huns· fertility memes· january 6· trolls· social etiquette

22:26 Yeah, believe me. So let's go to the right leaders... Oh no I remember what i wanted to say! I have noticed a rise of women saying to women and to men certainly in a retail environment or restaurant environment hun what can I get for you hun? I don't know that there's a rise in that. That is, I think very common and it goes on all the time and you're right hun which is just as insulting if you think about it has baby or whatever she's moaning and groaning about. I've noticed an increase

23:02 So that's just my personal environment. What? You go out more, a lot more than I do and you would notice the more Huns Yeah Huns which of course is also slang for Hitler German Nazi No Huns! The Huns are gods they're horrible people Yes the Huns are no good The Hun so she's calling you a hun That's right Not as in honey, but as in hun. And then often I get from the far right memes of empty egg cartons which are sent to women to say that our fertility is declining and we should get back to our homemaking activities and then there's the more violent stuff. I've had people say you'll be dealt with in the streets uh...you know if a civil war comes your gonna be first some people think things like Oh my goodness this is us John! And I wish she had said it she should have said

23:52 And some old white male podcasters are threatening to shave heads and march us down Main Street naked for collaborating? You'll be dealt with in the streets. You know, if a civil war comes you're going to be first. Some people say things like I'd fixed her and then you know I've gotten emails directly to my work account including just after January 6th when it was quite tense here in Washington saying things like you sound like a hysterical bleeping snowflake lesbo bleep

24:29 This is a worldwide phenomenon. This is not just the US phenomenon, I mean there are just you have example after example in your book where these trolls are sort of activated across national lines. Just somebody gets into a disagreement, a legitimate disagreement over policy or over opinion and then the trolls get activated like all over the world to attack and swarm this person so There are people who think, well this is just air quotes here. Words it's just mean words you make the argument that this is not just words that this has violence personal security implications but this really does cause women to censor themselves and to avoid engagement in the public sphere why do you say that? Okay first of all I have a whole room full of trolls who are awake and listening to this they're being blamed

25:23 They're looking for good bits they can use. They're looking for trolls! Wow... You know, maybe everyone should expect when you have an opinion that people will spout back at ya and maybe we will realize that we still have tailbones in this type of open communication en masse globally is not something were prepared for and boo-hoo Then go somewhere else, set up a mastodon. Get off! Yeah get... Oh misogynist you said get off and I did right all right you want to hear more? yeah this is good stuff i like it You say this isn't fact they force me- I'm sorry you need to setup? No no its just good stuff

CHAPTER 08 / 52 Discussion

Censorship Claims, Personal Safety Alarms, and Digital Natives

Nina Jankowicz argues that online abuse forces women to self-censor and carry personal safety alarms in the physical world. The hosts question the validity of these claims, suggesting that locking down social media accounts is a choice that primarily affects marketing opportunities rather than fundamental rights.

censorship· first amendment· personal safety· digital natives· marketing

26:15 It's kind of proving her point that we're sick. But it's amusing, go on. No it's very amusing and you're...it's totally in the context of Twitter and free speech blather First Amendment blather this is the real divide thats happening because of the power who has the power? And for the past Well, really seven years. Especially black women in America have had the voice and a lot of power! A lot of power! So I reject the notion but also with a lot of power and a lot of voice comes people who are not going to like you

27:04 You know, they killed Martin Luther King. People don't like messages and he wasn't even a woman! You say this is in fact a form of censorship? Yeah in my own life it's a form of censorship right every time I am online thinking about okay am I gonna tweet am I gonna pitch this article today...I think about you know do I have the emotional capacity right now to deal with what might come if that's going to be out there in the real world so now carry a personal safety alarm around me Hold on a second What articles is she pitching and why is she pitching articles on Twitter? Does she not have a job? I don't understand. No, what's what she's doing is trying to get traction She's trying to use Twitter for marketing Marketing her article Of course we do that And some people will say That's a shitty article Some people say I don't like you Oh my goodness But oh no it's censorship You know what? I think we should amend the First Amendment

28:04 that there are special rules for black women and special rules that don't apply to white men. If that's going to be out there in the real world, I now carry a personal safety alarm around with me because i am worried about if one of these people who has threatened me online shows up in real life particularly women of color have had offline threats that originated from online threats And, you know I've spoken to many women. Many of whom are prominent in their field who say when I know I'm going to be getting a lot of attention let's say for congressional testimony or if i'm going on TV they lock down their accounts which is closing themselves off to opportunity and that's women who are at the peak of their careers

28:49 When I spoke to young women about this, women who are high school and college aged were very much digital natives. They said to me you know i don't want a lifestyle that public anymore. I'm going to lock down my account. I don't really voice my opinions online except to my friends and that just breaks my heart we need their voices no no let them be private let them do their voices elsewhere whatever We need their voices it's about power And she goes on with this high school thing and then she also has the word in there opportunity. So they cut that, they close their accounts and then they miss opportunity... What is a high school girl? Missing an opportunity? What's her opportunity that she's missing out on because she shut down her Twitter account? Confirmation that her makeup is jammin'.

29:36 You know, more likes. More views. More acceptance from other filtered peerage people? Yeah we're too old white guys what do we know and often pointed out online shut up old man! Shut up old white guy I get that all the time of course yeah because i am or might retire Is that what they give to you retire? Oh, that's horrible. You should have retired that guy He doesn't know anything he retire him retire retire retire all right wait this is This is it this isn't this is this by the way stop

CHAPTER 09 / 52 Discussion

Free Speech Absolutism, Wealthy White Men, and Online Decorum

The discussion critiques the claim that free speech absolutists are typically wealthy white men with security details. The hosts argue that the lack of consequences for poor decorum online is the primary driver of toxicity, rather than systemic racism or wealth disparity.

free speech· elon musk· racism· decorum· security guards

30:13 Happy Easter brother John happy Easter to you and happy Easter all yes. Happy Easter everybody out there, and then in-betweens Yes, happy who are Celebrating an Easter it's nice Easter. Yes Number six we're celebrating in our own way So you know you can't help but notice that many of the free speech absolutists are often Are we free speech absolutist? And what does that mean I That means everything goes. Okay, yeah I think we are. Most people are free speech absolutes in other words the first amendment that you can say what you want when you want and how you want anytime you want is absolute it's a right

31:01 So you know, you can't help but notice that many of the free speech absolutists are often online trolls themselves and or they are wealthy white men who have ample means to protect their personal safety. They have personal assistance. Stop it! Stop the clip! What she just said is ridiculous Yes I liked it a lot The white man who can say what he wants online... They got money They got money and they have guards. We've got personal assistants... No, she also said guards! Guards! Yeah but we didn't even get that far we were only the personal assistants. We got limo drivers. Security, they can afford security so they can beat somebody up who comes up to them in the street because of some tweet. Online trolls themselves

31:51 And or they are wealthy white men who presumably have ample means to protect their personal safety. They have personal assistance, they have security guards, they have people who can provide a zone of personal safety for them. But to the argument that it is just words what do you say? Okay wow! How many white rich men are there with security and assistance Get those guys off Twitter! It's not just words. They're power trolls. If I were walking on the street and a crowd of hundreds of people were shouting the insults that we spoke about at me, police would intervene bystanders would intervene it would not be acceptable and yet it is happening to millions of women around the world and worse every day

32:44 Hmm, okay. So now she's conflating two things the offline world with the online world and in general that is the problem with the online world is that there's no consequence to decorum There's no consequence You know In general most societies are polite most a lot and also you know you do something like that to someone's face They might you know hit you in the nose or do something else so this typically people tend to shy away from that Don't they understand why this is happening? No It's racism. It's white racism, that's what it is. Rich white racism. Well you know but here we go! You said it right at the beginning first second clip yes its rich white Democrats. That's where the rich white people are in the Democratic Party. Yeah well now this last clip which is long and but if you can play it

CHAPTER 10 / 52 Discussion

UK Online Safety Bill, Elon Musk's Trolling Style

The UK's proposed Online Safety Bill is discussed as a potential model for making "awful but lawful" content illegal. The hosts defend Elon Musk's online behavior, characterizing it as harmless trolling rather than targeted hate speech against marginalized groups.

uk online safety bill· elon musk· hateful content· legislation· censorship

33:49 But it's just, it builds to a crescendo. They blame Musk again I can't summarize it but you've already heard most of what you want here You can play this if you want And I think you make a really good point Michelle For people of means Wait did you edit that or did they edit that? No! There is no editing in the 80s And I think you make a really good point Michelle for people who are in the majority It's a little bit easier to deal with. The onus always falls on the target of the abuse, the platforms aren't doing very much right now and I shuddered to think about if free speech absolutists were taking over more platforms what that would look like for the marginalized communities all around the world which are already shouldering so

34:34 so much of this abuse, disproportionate amounts of this abuse and re-traumatizing themselves as they try to protect themselves from reporting blocking etc. We need the platforms to do more and we frankly need law enforcement and our legislatures to do more as well. Yes if you say something horrible online a drone should come by and zap you! Other countries are looking at this, you know the UK has an online safety bill that's being considered right now trying to make illegal this currently, quote awful but lawful content that exists online where people are being harassed. Your book offers very practical advice to individuals about how to address these matters in their own if they have too

35:16 or feel that they have to engage with these platforms. But from a broader policy standpoint, what should happen is... And part of the reason you know where first of all your book is quite timely I mean it was due to come out now but it's interesting that it comes out at this moment where Elon Musk as we said has engaged in what he says is this campaign to take over Twitter because he wants it to be sort of an absolutist free speech environment where there are no rules. You know I think you could crawl through Elon Musk's Twitter and not find a single thing hateful towards any woman of any color because he is asexual, as far as I'm concerned. I don't know if he cares about women at all but i doubt there's anything in there yet he's being used as the poster child for this. That's interesting. Good point! Yeah, I think you're right. If you went through his tweets, I don't notice that he has ever even attacked anybody really

36:12 No, he's just been trolling but nothing no attacks. I'm certainly not if he had attacked attacked Vitally attack the black woman or a woman of color. He'd be he'd be toast. Yeah This is not as we said has engaged in what? He says this campaign to take over Twitter because he wants it to be sort of an absolutist free speech environment where there are new rules But we got it. I've just wrote this down absolutists freeze know free speech absolutists Yeah, this is the term. This is it. Absolutely. It's been discussed on the show already. From a policy standpoint what do you think should happen?

36:50 Well, I think what we've actually been seeing Twitter do in the past couple of months to a year has been pretty progressive on the side of platforms. We've seen them introduce what they call human-centered reporting which looks rather than at their terms of service hierarchy it asks people what happened in their own words. Oh yeah meanwhile while I have 15 imposters... They refuse to believe that these people are imposters of my account and are trying to scam people into crypto things through DM. No, I have to crowdsource everyone to report otherwise they don't solve anything

CHAPTER 11 / 52 Discussion

Twitter Bot Prevalence, Human-Centered Reporting, and Account Imposters

The hosts discuss the prevalence of bots on Twitter, estimating that 30% to 50% of followers on many accounts are automated. They criticize Twitter's failure to remove imposter accounts used for crypto scams while simultaneously implementing "human-centered reporting" for subjective harassment.

36:12 No, he's just been trolling but nothing no attacks. I'm certainly not if he had attacked attacked Vitally attack the black woman or a woman of color. He'd be he'd be toast. Yeah This is not as we said has engaged in what? He says this campaign to take over Twitter because he wants it to be sort of an absolutist free speech environment where there are new rules But we got it. I've just wrote this down absolutists freeze know free speech absolutists Yeah, this is the term. This is it. Absolutely. It's been discussed on the show already. From a policy standpoint what do you think should happen?

36:50 Well, I think what we've actually been seeing Twitter do in the past couple of months to a year has been pretty progressive on the side of platforms. We've seen them introduce what they call human-centered reporting which looks rather than at their terms of service hierarchy it asks people what happened in their own words. Oh yeah meanwhile while I have 15 imposters... They refuse to believe that these people are imposters of my account and are trying to scam people into crypto things through DM. No, I have to crowdsource everyone to report otherwise they don't solve anything

37:28 These guys are full of crap. To report it that way, I think that's in the right direction what i would love to see is more incident reporting on platforms so rather than just reporting one-off pieces of content or accounts that are abusive being able to report the whole picture to a content moderator because usually these campaigns are started by my follower individual or several of them and they come in waves and if you see see

38:08 and you're a content moderator, and you have 20 to 40 seconds or even less time to evaluate that piece of content. It might not look that bad but when you see hundreds or even thousands of tweets coming from people all around the world that are generally quite vitriolic or disgusting in some way, the combined effect on one human being I think would be taken much differently so that's something that I've advocated for in the past But really any enforcement of consequences against abusers would make such a big difference because part of the reason this happens right now is that hardly anything ever happens to the people who are levying they abuse. What do you mean? People are thrown off Twitter every single minute and never never to return I heard that Elon started to due diligence, and then he saw that half of Twitter is bots And that's why pulled out

39:02 And I think it's probably true. Twitter is a bot central. Well, there are lots of fake accounts in fact there used to be a program and may still exist and they used to... which makes you wonder why Twitter can't do this by the way You put in a name as somebody and the thing will go through all their followers and then identify the fake ones that give you percentage of real followers Yeah, you have pretty high Almost almost ever I have pretty high what yeah, I think you have 30. I did this 30 be 30% I think of your followers or bots I have similar

39:41 according to that, it's a thing you can do. You know I have a pretty high normal following actually 30% bots is low most people have 50%. That's what i'm saying yeah okay well here's the interesting thing why do I have such a low because a little following of bots because with me as a more conservative type Twitter tweeter They go after you and they pulled numbers out of you. They say, oh these are bosses get rid of them and so you watch your followers go down from... I saw it happen already once. I had 105 once yeah and then it went down to 98. That's because you have a check mark

40:23 Well, I don't know if it's true. Yeah yeah and you get penalized your check mark your blue man Your blue check per person are we dealing with this Illuminati? Yes that was the end of the clip okay this will play at the very end again so i can go off from that Well, the very end was that we need to hurt these people. Any enforcement of consequences against... Oh she did another laugh! Hold on The combined effect of that on one human being I think would be taken much differently so that's something that i've advocated for in the past

40:59 But really, any enforcement of consequences against abusers would make such a big difference. Because part of the reason this happens right now is that hardly anything ever happens to the people who are levying the abuse." Okay so she ends with a lie? Okay fine! Well, that was a little walk down the mentality of the typical complainer who thinks we shouldn't have free speech at all in fact. Yes so we've heard quite a spectrum and it's very depressing happy Easter! I want to dive right into some COVID stuff since that seems to be what people are missing from some our coverage We left it till the very end on the last episode Don't have a lot but do have somethings of note

CHAPTER 12 / 52 Discussion

Shanghai COVID-19 Lockdown, Resident Protests, and Neighbor Surveillance

Shanghai's 25 million residents face a strict three-week lockdown, leading to rare public confrontations with police in hazmat suits. Authorities are reportedly converting schools and apartments into quarantine facilities. The hosts compare the current situation to historical neighbor-on-neighbor surveillance described in the book "Life and Death in Shanghai."

shanghai· china· lockdown· quarantine· police· life and death in shanghai

41:45 And there's been a ratcheting up in Shanghai. Three weeks into lockdown, some here in Shanghai are angry. In broad daylights the confrontation. The police up against the people Scenes like this have become increasingly unusual here, but then so is locking down almost 25 million people. Head to toe in protective suits in an eastern district of the city officers were forcing people out of their rented apartments So they could turn them into temporary quarantine facilities all in the name of a war against a resurgent Covid But for some it was just too much

42:29 Their homes sequestered, their desperation easy for all to hear. A few miles away there was an organized protest a bold stand as the lockdown takes hold I'm just listening to this and thinking wow these women are bitching on NPR about being attacked on Twitter And listen to these mothers screaming crying because these white hazmat suit goons are throwing them out of their apartments The NPR needs to spend 20 minutes on... I'm so abused by PTSD.

43:06 In a country where you can be arrested for picking quarrels, they're angry about a local school being turned into another quarantine facility. Police with riot shields forced them off the streets in the end. This was on a small scale but it's a sign of anger and frustration as this lockdown goes on. Larger-scale social unrest is what the ruling Communist Party fears the most and would likely tolerate the least. So yeah, now we're seeing Shanghai residents going taking to the streets They're still all lined up on each side of the street on the sidewalk neatly with their fists raised And they're of course they're wearing masks but they're protesting

43:49 And the theory that I'm going on is this is mandate of heaven and we cannot be seen as losing to some natural disaster. And that's why they're clearly going nuts! What's interesting, if you watch... Have you seen any of these videos with the white hazmat suits? Yeah, I've seen a couple. They're not really hazmat suits but... No, just a white... It looks like a police uniform Well not just like a police uniform They are very distinct I've never seen these before with blue stripes and it has Chinese lettering on it, but also big large words police. Thought that was rather interesting you know these in Shanghai they have these suits and it says police an from what we understand from our boots-on-the-ground professor in Shanghai most of these people are like your neighbors who were given a suit to then boss you around which is of course why this is working so well

44:48 You want to get people to boss people around? Give your neighbor a suit and tell him he's in charge of you. Well, that brings us to the book Life and Death in Shanghai. One of the most famous books ever written it has been kind of banned in China but its available And it describes exactly what you said because this is what happened in the 30s I believe when the Chinese used the ability to turn neighbor against neighbor and turned, you know like your next-door neighbor into your boss in a similar manner without the costume. And it's a horrendous tale if you read this book! It's really frightening what they with the Chinese can do

45:37 And how the Chinese themselves turn into these little Ikemen kind of characters at the drop of a hat against each other. It's volatile Yes, Life and Death in Shanghai...Nin Chang is very famous book Yeah Which i have not read So it's readable, its very well written Its a very easy to read book and its a little long by today's standards, except unless you're a Stephen King reader. And yeah it's good book. So that's the story in Shanghai in Australia South Australia has a new premier

CHAPTER 13 / 52 Discussion

South Australia Premier, Global Plandemic Slip

The new Premier of South Australia, Peter Malinauskas, is highlighted for a verbal slip where he referred to the global pandemic as a "plandemic" during a press conference regarding the transition out of emergency management declarations.

south australia· peter malinauskas· plandemic· gaffe· covid-19

46:20 He made an oopsie. We haven't transitioned out of a two-year long emergency management declaration ever before, we haven't transitioned out of the global pandemic in the modern world with a modern economy... What? He said plandemic! Yes sir! Out of a global plandemic in the modern world with a modern economy ever before Yeah I'd vote for that guy very good now there's some issues There's some issues going on in Australia with, it looks like we have some vaccine issues. Vaccine related heart attacks the Australian Health Minister is queried about this because they're seeing a rise of 40% in what they call code ones and a code one is cardiac arrest

47:16 So that's when you send out an ambulance and they just can't figure it out. I don't think anyone can explain why we saw a 40% jump in Code 1s, and as I've travelled around the state sometimes, I'll walk into an ambulance service and they'll say, We had a 30% increase in code ones yesterday Can't tell you why? We just had a lot of heart attacks and chest pains and trouble breathing, respiratory issues Sometimes you can't explain why those things happen but unfortunately Do you have any theories or any idea as to what could have been that exacerbating factor? No, we don't have that information yet but um...you know what I do know and i'm hearing some interjections on the side is that vaccines actually help people stay out of hospital not put them in hospital.

CHAPTER 14 / 52 Discussion

Athlete Heart Issues, Myocarditis, and Vaccine Skepticism

Reports of myocarditis and irregular heartbeats in professional athletes, including Australian soccer player Ollie Wines, spark discussion about potential links to COVID-19 booster shots. The hosts also note an increase in Bell's Palsy cases and question why these issues are not being more thoroughly investigated in the sporting world.

myocarditis· ollie wines· bell's palsy· athletes· boosters· mrna

48:05 I love the press going, hey could this be related to vaccines? No no no. And these questions... This is going on all over the world with different... It is it is you know there's all kinds of things with kids and all these things that the livers are getting blown out and getting all kinds of diseases in and they will never even suggest The coincidence, that's a coincidence. So an Australian soccer player had to be taken off field and he was diagnosed with myocarditis, Ollie Wines. Bailão Milos, Ollie Wines remains in hospital tonight with a worrying heart issue live to Mitch Cleary with the latest. Mitch Wines was subbed out of last night's game against Melbourne Well Tim, the power and medicos are tonight exploring inflammation around Wines' heart known as myocarditis

48:54 after he presented with an irregular heartbeat last night. It's expected he will miss matches, but the full timeline won't be known for several days as they conduct further investigations." And they discussed this very incident and went a little farther than they should have, I believe. Yeah, it's just a big unknown as to when he will play again. It may be as soon this week but nothing coming out of the club at the stage. There are a lot of these going on in world sport at the moment? Well in the world World sport? A lot of athletes have got these issues Are you Brownie referring to the booster shots and contracting it? That's obviously the word getting around

49:48 Look, it's being discussed. I haven't been able to get an official line on that from anyone attached to Olly Wines at this stage but the question is being asked and put to me and others including yourself by a lot of people about a possibility of that But its not just the heart issues without delving into your private affairs you've got Bells Palsy at the moment which hopefully you're on track There's literally a guy in the panel with a droopy mouth he's got Bell palsy I wonder what could be going on here. It's not just the heart issues, without delving into your private affairs you've got Bells Palsy at the moment which hopefully you're on the back end of that but there is a bit of that going around as well. Exactly it has gone to heart issue and Bells Palsy has gone through the roof since the boosters and COVID-19 issues so we had Michelangelo Ricci on AW on Friday night he said

50:37 Wines, it's a field. There is a ward filled with people with similar symptoms in Adelaide to Ollie Wine so nausea heart issues so there has to be something more to it and just we're not anti-vaxxers We've all done our due diligence with our booster shots and all that sort of stuff but there is going have to be some study done on this Not just in the sporting sphere but like you know like a community centre And your right though because we don't want to get into the space where we are no experts at all Wow. Yeah, I don't know if that show is still on the air or Sky even exists after this. It's like Pfizer only got so you know they can't step on every little... You know they can't stomp on every little gopher that comes up in this now Australia is out of control they gotta do something about those guys Well their doubling down. They're doubling down Scientists discover world's first cure for heart attacks using the same mRNA technology as COVID vaccines

51:37 Wow, that's beautiful. Well as long as it doesn't create the spike protein anyway these athletes we have to always back up a few steps and remember that athletes are the ones with good hearts you'd think Well, it's always been that way. I've never heard of anything like this is going on with athletes especially soccer players where you have to run and run and run. I mean, I'm surprised the basketball... although you have your own theory about that one more basketball players haven't dropped

52:14 But, uh... Yeah I don't think they took it at all. That's just phony baloney! These are- I think they think they took it Oh yes yeah there you go There ya'go Yes The team owners would never allow it. Yes That was the theory Because of the investment in these players is just to large to risk it To risk anything They don't even let them on social media most of the time. No, some of these players just for some perspective some basketball players use the guys who play 82 games a year and they don't even play that many anymore as somebody once pointed out more recently they played about 60 of the game So they play about sixty basketball games a year and many of them make forty million dollars a year plus Yeah you're not gonna shoot that thing up with just anything

CHAPTER 15 / 52 Discussion

Xavier Becerra, Vaccine Racial Disparity Gaffe

Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra made a notable gaffe during an equity seminar, stating that "vaccines are killing people of color" at twice the rate of white Americans. The hosts conclude he likely meant the virus itself, but highlight the statement as a significant verbal error.

xavier becerra· hhs· vaccine· racial disparity· gaffe

53:02 Also, basketball contracts aren't like football contracts which are bogus. You know you get a stubbed toe and the contract gets pulled you don't get anything. Basketball players get paid no matter what and yeah I think your theory might be correct Back home the Department of Human Health & Services had a seminar titled Convening Equity in The Age Of COVID Because, you know if it's not rich white men with assistants and security guards attacking women online well it's obviously COVID is

53:42 is also racist or is it COVID? I don't know. This is our newly appointed Secretary of Human Health Services, Xavier Becerra. Secondly by having better data we can do a couple of things vaccines A year ago today By the way We know that vaccines are killing people of color Blacks Latinos indigenous people at about two times the rate of white Americans Okay, is this a gap heard it. Is this the gaff? It's got to be a gaff It's gotta be a gas he meant virus you met the virus or he meant Kovac He meant kovat is killing which is true Kovac is killing X number of people twice as fast because you know vitamin various reasons for that

54:26 So, but he said vaccines. By the way... Play it again We know that vaccines are killing people of color Blacks Latinos indigenous people at about two times the rate of white Americans Now that we're playing this as to old white men without assistance mind you is that racist because he's brown? That were laughing at his gaff We laugh at everybody's gaff. Okay, we laugh mostly at the white old man Biden's gaffs Yeah, yeah, we do! We do he's number one. Yeah okay I'm plowing through this and we do have... That truth that needs to come out in that clip is probably right? Yeah oh no it's probably I'm quite sure it's right but who am I

CHAPTER 16 / 52 Discussion

California School Vaccine Mandate Delay, Pfizer Pediatric Boosters

Governor Gavin Newsom announced that California will delay its COVID-19 vaccine mandate for school children until at least July 2023. Simultaneously, Pfizer released clinical trial data showing a strong immune response from a third booster dose in children aged 5 to 11.

gavin newsom· california· pfizer· pediatric vaccine· fda· neutralizing antibodies

55:12 Good news out of California, I guess. This morning the state of California is delaying plans that would require students to get vaccinated against COVID-19 Last year, California became the first state to announce a vaccine mandate for all school children But the FDA has not yet fully approved the shot for anyone under 16 So California Governor Gavin Newsom announced late Thursday that the new deadline will be no sooner than July 2023 All right, it's interesting to put a put a date way out in the future I guess they're expecting to have issues next year virtue signaling and without doing anything maybe things get canceled. Who knows? Pfizer of course not sitting still you got some news on vaccine and kids just coming in hey you got some news on vaccine and kids

55:59 You got some news on vaccine and kids just coming in. Just off embargo clinical trial data from Pfizer on the third dose for children ages 5 through 11. Here's what we know at this point, the data showed a very strong immune response after that third shot. This is the same pediatric dose as been tested and authorized in this age group. This third shot given six months after the second dose they found protective or we call neutralizing antibodies against both the Omicron variant and wild type strains. So why do they, why this term? Maybe I've missed it previously what we call neutralizing antibodies. This is, this sounds rather new to me. Is there a reason you think never heard it?

56:42 Neutralizing antibodies, is that different? I don't know what that means. What's a neutralizing antibody? It's an antibody! That's what i thought This third shot given six months after the second dose they found protective or we call neutralizing antibodies against both the Omicron variant and wild type strains well tolerated by the pediatric participants of the trial in terms of side effects no serious safety signals And we expect the drug maker Pfizer to submit the data to the FDA within 75 years for the booster in the next couple of days. As is as we are still awaiting the clinical trial data on the third dose from Pfizer and children under the age of five, so still a lot happening in the vaccine world. But this was going the direction we thought it would eventually were gonna get the okay for boosters for kids

CHAPTER 17 / 52 Discussion

FDA Breathalyzer Authorization, InspectIR COVID-19 Testing

The FDA issued an emergency use authorization for the InspectIR COVID-19 Breathalyzer, the first device to detect the virus in breath samples. While the device provides results in three minutes, the FDA recommends following up positive results with a PCR test. The hosts express skepticism regarding the device's accuracy and potential for misuse.

fda· breathalyzer· inspectir· pcr test· emergency use authorization

57:29 authorized for boosters looks likely but we won't know until we know. Yeah, yeah so they're waiting on some trial... We're still waiting for official trial information to be made public and discussed that Pfizer tried to hide along with the FDA okay Now we have our test to treat because this is not going away. Whether it's COVID or bird flu or whatever, whatever is coming next they're going to use it again. They collectively all connected through the World Economic Forum but really World Health Organization is drawing up this treaty that all countries are gonna sign on too and there'll be command central and they throw out the bat signal everybody shuts down or whatever were supposed to do

58:15 And the testing will continue and there's new technological breakthroughs in testing. The FDA has now issued an emergency use authorization for the first device able to detect COVID in breath samples About the same amount of breath that it takes to inflate a small balloon The breathalyzer is about the size of a carry-on luggage It can be used only at doctors offices, hospitals and mobile testing sites and results are ready in about three minutes Now, the breath test will likely not replace the more intrusive nasal tests. The FDA says a positive breathalyzer should be followed with a PCR test. Why? Answer me this Batman or whoever does that bit... why does it have to be at a doctor's office

59:05 Well, no it doesn't necessarily have to be the doctor's office. But I believe the machinery is expensive and if you do it at the doctors... They made it clear that can't just have in the field like a yeah, I can't have it at the plaza You would've expected them to tell me they didn't tell you anything well as usual Let's listen to the ad for inspect IR maybe we can glean something from there Another one of those great little videos someone put together with some cool music. Right now, the world faces challenges. They demand innovation accountability and most importantly accurate results. InspectIR Systems is a research development and device company that's developed proprietary methods of machines to deliver accurate results in real time as a deadly virus circles the globe and cripples schools churches and businesses InspectIR Systems has created an elegant screening solution

1:00:06 the unparalleled PMY-1000 mobile COVID-19 screening device. With a patented breathalyzer technology to collect samples, the PMY-1000 is completely painless and noninvasive. The algorithmic software analyzes the subject's breath to look for specific chemistry associated with the active viral infection of COVID-19 Sounds like an Elizabeth Holmes deal to me. Oh, it sounds like it to meet you by the way why is it the PMI 1000 they make? That's what I'm saying fear and also had like the Theranos 1000 was it at 1001 is just a PMI one They do have an emergency use authorization for some reason so I guess that FDA thinks It works And and they can use that and they've got the same think it works won't they just give it authorization John

1:01:01 Here's the way I see it. It works so well because it gives you the illusion of some high-tech device with accurate results, but they're really doing where this would know what's gonna give you the results that the operator desires Yes, give me one of those Hey guys we oversold the tickets for tonight all right ratchet up 10% positive get him out of here It could be anything. I don't believe this at all, i want to see how this works. They have trouble getting breathalyzer tested? I mean they can do alcohol because it is literally on your breath! They want to...they want to do this because it's within three minutes we can start separating people right away and that guy looks white he looks old you probably has an assistant positive. And security guards will beat the up though

Known Traveller Digital Identity, WEF Global Travel Pilot

The World Economic Forum and Accenture are piloting the Known Traveller Digital Identity (KTDI) program in collaboration with the governments of Canada and the Netherlands. The system uses biometrics and distributed ledger technology to create a "seamless" border crossing experience. Critics argue the program will lead to mandatory biometric sharing for international travel.

ktdi· world economic forum· canada· netherlands· biometrics· blockchain

1:01:53 So now we have the World Health Organization connecting with the World Economic Forum for a, and what we've been waiting for this at least I've been waiting for this. For the Papers Please app it's known as TDK... No, N-T...ah! K-T-D-I. Hey, these guys are bankers they don't know how to market it's the known traveler digital identity program and they already have some two main players to main countries all in on it this is their promo video I cut it down to 155

1:02:44 With the number of international arrivals expected to grow 50% by 2030, travellers need seamless ways to cross borders that also protect national security while protecting their personal data. The Known Traveller Digital Identity, or KTDI is a public-private collaboration that enhances security efforts while enabling a connected journey for today's international traveller. The KTDI is the only global travel initiative of its kind. Travellers can share documentation and information from one verified identity with partners including government authorities airlines and hotels

1:03:26 The KTDI allows travellers to play an active role in travel security efforts by sharing their information proactively. Travellers always retain control over what, when and with whom they share their information Each data element shared by the traveller is verified accurate and consistent every time This is made possible by the technologies of distributed ledger cryptography and biometrics As more data and information is added, travelers build more enriched profiles that build trust with each partner interaction. Throughout the journey the known traveler digital identity creates one connected process to build trust encourage travel and allow precious security resources to focus on the areas of greatest need

1:04:16 Components of the known traveler digital identity will be championed by the governments of Canada and the Netherlands. Additional partners include Air Canada, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Toronto Pearson International Airport Montreal Trudeau International Airport and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in collaboration with The World Economic Forum and Accenture The Known Traveller Digital Identity will be piloted this year, unlocking the power to change how we travel. What you all brought into the, was it GOES or what was the name of that system and you took it a couple times? You went to Europe back and forth. Yes, the global... And then come back its like a phony baloney kiosk Yeah, the Global Entry System which has now since been abolished

1:05:10 Yeah, these things that's how far they get. They get abolished and I don't know why it gets abolished Oh, it didn't work? No It was abolished because they sold all that off to clear and other private parties And I won't do clear because they require your biometrics So we're gonna do that give you my eye then it's just creepy in general But this app I love the positioning The positioning is You determine what you give and to whom you give it. But that's not how these things work, it works like this... Show me! And then if you say no I don't want to give it to you No entry for you! Come on This is reverse It's gonna be so safe. It's encrypted. I heard blockchain in there. That was great distributed ledger blockchain crypto Wow can't wait

Lucky Charms Investigation, FDA Priorities

The FDA is investigating reports of over 400 people becoming ill after consuming Lucky Charms cereal. The hosts contrast the agency's rapid response to cereal complaints with its perceived lack of interest in investigating reports of vaccine-related adverse events.

1:06:09 And you can't even use the excuse of I don't have a smartphone because countries just give them now to people Especially if you come in illegally everyone's got the Obama phone so for me That hey that is it's a true representation of that lady She was very excited about her Obama phone So, here's the thing. With all of these... adverse event, vaccine adverse event reactions or reports with all the things we're hearing about. You'd think someone would be headline news like hey we got to investigate! We gotta investigate what's going on there may it may not be they may all just be coincidence but we may have to look at these vaccines in some cases that seems to hurt people no no no that's not what we do in America with our federal Food and Drug Administration now we do this

1:07:12 The FDA is investigating as to why hundreds of people reported getting sick after eating Lucky Charms. More than 400 people have complained about the cereal on a website that tracks foodborne illnesses General Mills, which makes the cereal says it is also investigating those complaints but does not believe Lucky Charms are responsible So there's lots of websites where people are reporting about vaccine injuries But the FDA isn't interested in that No! Lucky Charms Cardboard with high fructose corn syrup state of the world. I'm speechless State of the world, baby That's okay it's Easter Some warm when you war well before we do that might as well Do the just one this little 17 second clip because he talked about China for a bit there and I want to get my china clip Visiting Taiwan

CHAPTER 20 / 52 Discussion

Taiwan Diplomacy, China-Russia Space Ambitions

A Defense Intelligence Agency report warns that China and Russia are expanding their space assets by 70% to challenge U.S. dominance. The report outlines plans for moon and Mars exploration over the next 30 years and the development of missiles capable of destroying satellites. Meanwhile, international delegations continue to visit Taiwan despite Chinese protests.

taiwan· china· russia· space domain· satellites· moon exploration

1:08:12 In the past two years more and more countries have sent high-level officials to Taiwan that's including the US and a number of European countries like France, Lithuania the Czech Republic Estonia in Latvia. A delegation of European Parliament members also visited the island. The Chinese are unhappy with that no here's I get two more Chinese clips Here, the China and Russia space wars. The Defense Intelligence Agency published a report that describes how China and Russia would try to counter the advantage the US has in space A defense intelligence officer explains why Russia and China are primary strategic competitors are taking steps undercut the United States and our allies in the space domain

1:09:01 Both nations view space as a requirement for winning modern wars, especially against Western nations and look to prove themselves as world leaders. A defense intelligence analyst also points to the two countries' combined assets in space He said they've grown about 70% in only two years he outlines their ambitions both nations seek to broaden their space exploration initiatives together and individually with plans to explore the moon and Mars during the next 30 years. And if successful, these efforts will likely lead to attempts by Beijing and Moscow to exploit the moon's natural resources." What's more he said that Moscow is now developing a missile that is able to destroy satellites in space vehicles. Of course! With their dead Rubel

1:09:56 Yeah, that's mint. That's mint yeah space wars well I've been saying that's been going on for a decade. You've been on space wars since the beginning? Yeah you know Noah was a conspiracy theorist until it rained just saying. Ooh mm-hmm you stole that! Of course, I can tell. I can tell your material from stolen material It wasn't stolen it's credited in the show notes with a link to the original It is! So you take a one-liner and you make a point of crediting it to somebody? Yes You know why because you outed me douche. You could have said wow you're really smart Adam No no that's not how it goes

CHAPTER 21 / 52 Discussion

Andrew Horowitz, Passover Dinner, Yacht Club

The hosts recount a humorous interaction with financial commentator Andrew Horowitz regarding a Passover dinner invitation. The anecdote involves a misunderstanding about whether Horowitz was cooking at home or taking guests to a yacht club, leading to lighthearted banter about social obligations.

andrew horowitz· passover· yacht club· traeger· social interaction

1:10:40 It's almost as bad as me saying that I had nothing better you anticipated it. That was funny So this is what a bat is isn't he saying? I had nothing better to do than have dinner with the horror wits Oh, there it is He called me oh Okay, we had to stop to show in this business and it goes he had not heard The last episode you gotta listen to the last episode cuz I shouldn't be talking to you at all. I've denounced you but You know what he called he said hey, it's Good Friday I just want to say hi, happy Easter. He's Jewish. Yes. But okay. Passover. Oh yeah, Passover. And I said oh man this you got me real good you even got the Vorak in on it and he was laughing...

1:11:26 I think he was trying to like say, yeah. But I think you're right. He might have been a little hurt maybe in Down Deep? It was a combination. It's an obvious combination because Andrew is not really a performer and so when he... You know it's not like an actor. No, like Nanu Nanu! So when he tries to do something designed to be partly acting and partly truthful It's obvious to me. And he was overdoing it, so that's what made me bring it up on the show and that's what he wanted me to do I was just following orders in some odd way. Ach, da hat man es nicht gewuscht!

1:12:10 So, and I say are you cooking? He says yeah everyone's coming over. See you cooking? Nah not really and then he lists this whole thing...I got two turkeys in the smoker, I got five briskets and I said you know I really wish I could be there with you if I didn't have something better to do! And that was the end. No, I love Andrew and Jill You know, now that you mention it... Instead of him taking you to the Commodore Club or whatever the hell it was. It was The Yacht Club! He should have cooked for ya! No listen he had nothing better- He's got a Traeger? No no he had nothing better to do so he just took us to The Yacht Club. He's not gonna cook for me anymore ever again. Wanna do this other China clip you have?

CHAPTER 22 / 52 Discussion

World Bank Loans to China, Supply Chain Diversification

World Bank President David Malpass suggests that diversifying global supply chains away from China is beneficial for the global economy. Despite being the world's second-largest economy, China continues to receive $1 to $1.5 billion in low-interest loans annually from the World Bank due to its "developing country" status, a designation the U.S. has challenged.

world bank· china· david malpass· supply chain· developing country status

1:12:58 Yeah, I might as well. To me this is like a good news bad news clip This is maybe good news for us and bad news for China but it's hard to say at the moment Countries around the world are working to diversify their supply chains and reduce dependence on China World Bank President David Malpass commented on Tuesday, saying this is probably good for everyone. I think the world is working to reduce the dependency on supply chains from China and that diversification is probably good for everyone He added that China also needs to be part of a value system shared by other countries. The world needs China to be a good producer and consumer, and part of the value system that was described. I don't know if it will happen

1:13:49 China is the world's second largest economy after the US. Malpasset, he expects China to become the world's biggest economy although China suffered some major setbacks in various areas either way the country plays a major role as both a consumer and producer of goods. China is a shareholder of The World Bank but also a borrower The World Bank plans to aid China through 2025 Among those plans are low-interest loans to China totaling 1 to $1.5 billion every year The US objected when the World Bank first adopted the plan in 2019 citing Beijing's human rights violations According to the World Bank, China is still a developing country meaning it can get benefits earmark for developing countries both in trade and other areas

1:14:41 On the other hand, the US excluded China from its own list of developing countries in 2020 under the Trump administration. Yep. They're going to be number one economy in the world but yet a developing country? Well that was the whole deal with the World Trade Organization. Let them in! Give them special status Well, things are not going well with what's coming out of China. So they may be a producer and consumer but I don't think the producers getting to where it needs to get Certainly when it comes to grain products, which they're hoarding and fertilizer. It got another hit today I don't know if you saw this so already the majority of fertilizer comes out of China There is a certain there's definitely a chunk that comes from Russia Which will likely be less available but now in the United States and this is right up your foamer ass alley

CHAPTER 23 / 52 Discussion

Fertilizer Shortages, Union Pacific Rail Restrictions

Union Pacific Railroad has ordered CF Industries to reduce its fertilizer shipments by 20% to clear rail congestion. This restriction impacts the delivery of nitrogen fertilizers, including urea and ammonium nitrate, to key agricultural states during the spring planting season, raising concerns about crop yields.

fertilizer· union pacific· cf industries· nitrogen· rail traffic

1:15:39 The major fertilizer companies are saying that Union Pacific is putting limits on rail traffic to clear up delays from shipments that farmers need for the spring planting season. CF Industries, saying that the railroad has ordered it to cut its shipments by nearly 20 percent and I think that's for all private cars Which kind of takes me back to that weird four private cars on the Zephyr you saw on Thursday. I wonder if that was related to this, maybe they're trying to get the private cars to a destination before this went into place? I don't know what they mean by this... The last Thursday wasn't two private cars it was two new engines, new Elko, new ALC engines which if you go to Noah Janet's social somebody found them and posted

1:16:39 The engines are the new version, more horsepower less. More fuel efficient. So now the private number of private cars I see on trains if they're talking about that but they make you talk about private boxcars. I mean people own these cars those are private cars too in some sense? Yes! But to private passenger cars or few and far between nowadays? Let's see... The world's largest fertilizer company said Union Pacific had hit it with railroad mandated shipping reductions that would impact nitrogen fertilizers such as urea, pig piss and ammonium nitrate shipments to Iowa Illinois Kansas Nebraska Texas and California. Union Pacific said CF Industries or told CF industries without advance notice to reduce the volume of private cars on its railroad immediately not only will fertilizer be delayed by these shipments but additional fertilizer needed to complete spring applications may be unable to reach farmers at all

1:17:40 I think, you know someone's nuts. I'd have to re-read it. Yeah well this it is a... It's like the messaging its Associated Press and its you know so.. Sounds fishy or poorly reported or something somebody does somebody just I don't know lousy written press releases regurgitated poorly yes kind of what I'm guessing yeah Maybe this will lead us into the war. You know, Russia still needs to make a $650 million payment on its debt which has now been thwarted because they have no way to pay in dollars only in rubles and this has been a very slow fall towards them defaulting on their debt which would be a very interesting default because it's not a financial default that's a political default

CHAPTER 24 / 52 Discussion

Russian Debt Default, Austin Property Tax Hikes

Russia faces a potential political default on its debt as sanctions prevent payments in U.S. dollars. Domestically, homeowners in Austin, Texas, report property tax valuations increasing by an average of 56%. The hosts discuss how California's Proposition 13 protects long-term residents from similar tax spikes.

russia· debt default· austin· property tax· prop 13· real estate

1:18:36 And I just wonder how that's going to play out. If it will even matter, I don't know if it even matters but... So if Russia defaults on their bonds? I have no idea! It may not even make a difference at all really You know who would know? Would be your responsibility No, I can't ask Horowitz about this! No, not Horowitz the banker Oh yes okay good one I don't think Horowitz would have a clue about it either. No, you're right the banker...I gotta call the banker about this well the banker i got to call him anyway because remember he was like no one's buying up homes to rent them out that's not so that's not... I know he was wrong all you have to do is watch television in the bay areas John buys Bay Area homes! The brothers buy Bay Area homes! You have a home you want to sell just don't worry about just sell it us immediately we'll get on and fix it up just sell it

1:19:33 I mean there's guys and i think that's a lot of parts of the country. And so if you're gonna buy a house, uh... You're gonna be-you're gonna pay a lot and you're going to be lucky to get one And you're not going to be able to afford it. Austin, where the prices went up... Oh my God! I do thank God for this we played it so well selling our home in Austin and getting out. I've told you this before don't ever expect this to happen again now in your lifetime You nailed it Yeah yeah but what's happening now in Austin everybody just got their property tax bill every home was revalued

1:20:14 at an average of 56% over last year higher. That's going to push people out of homes! Well, that's why California is in good shape because of Prop 13. They keep trying to kill it but back in the day this was like 20, 30, 40 years ago when they passed it if you move into a house say at the end of the day and buy a house for $100,000 and your paying property tax on it and that house gets jacked up to a value of a million dollars

1:20:52 and you stay there, you're still paying the $100,000 taxes. Oh! That's nice. Prop 13 was all about because this is before it even started really cranking up... And that would let me guess 1970s? Yeah Also 1970s rent to own homes are back not that they ever really went away but the what was it lease option to buy or I guess rent-to-own That was popular in the 60s and 70s as well, I believe. I don't remember it but maybe... So let's play a couple of clips here. I want to get this Mara Souple thing out of the way. Well i was going to do two 70s things and then hand them back to you

CHAPTER 25 / 52 Discussion

IRS Staffing, 1970s Global Cooling Narrative

The IRS reports its lowest staffing levels since 1974, leading to refund delays. The hosts play a 1977 ABC News clip featuring climatologist Reed Bryson warning of a returning Ice Age. They compare the failed "global cooling" scare of the 1970s, which used armadillos as a mascot, to modern global warming narratives.

irs· global cooling· ice age· reed bryson· armadillos· climate change

1:21:39 Oh, you got 70 more? Yeah there's always something in seventies of course. Ah taxes! If you have a refund coming it may take awhile blame it on budget cuts and staffing levels which are the lowest since 1974 still as of April 8th more than seventy million refunds have been issued and the average refund is up almost 10% from last year It's now close to $3200 but no But no refund for the president and first lady. They report... Who cares? So that was your 70s, yes very much like the 70's but the one I wanted to play uh And we've done this many times but of course this comes right back to where we are today

1:22:20 1977 ABC Evening News. Pay attention people who weren't born yet! Warm periods like ours last only 10,000 years but ours has already lasted 12,000 so if the rhythm is right we are over ready for a return of the ice Experts like Reed Bryson, the head of the biggest meteorological department in the world in Wisconsin believe that since 1945 that has been in progress. We're returning to an ice age They base this on ever-cooler temperature readings in the Great Plains on land and the North Atlantic at sea, and on the headlong retreat of the heat loving armadillo from Nebraska to the Southwest and to Mexico. And on many more sophisticated sides... The argument that we face some long cold years is pretty convincing."

1:23:11 Don't pack your things and investigate real estate prices in the tropics yet, but there's a theory advanced by climatologists that the last two years of battering by winter means that an ice age is returning to the earth with glaciers down to the Mason-Nixon lines and freezing temperatures south of that. Non expert than I am, I tend to lean towards the Ice Ages for the evidence adduced by Professor Reed Bryson at the University of Wisconsin our leading scholar Among other items he cites the rhythm of a hundred thousand years of ice age interrupted briefly by a mere ten Thousand years of warmth and our ten thousand years of warmth has now passed So you forgive us if we're skeptical sometimes since in our lifetime We've heard that were going to die frostbite and die of heat exhaustion But this is really and this does show what they did wrong because they were trying to scare everybody the same thing. I

1:24:09 And it's not nice, I don't want to live in an ice age with the glacier till the mason takes a line. But listen to this clip! I realized what they did wrong why... This is very simple Why did the global cooling, the Ice Age not catch fire and people were all freaked out about it versus global warming? Do you know why I'm waiting they chose the armadillo? Versus the polar bear come on people. Oh, they were Armadillos nothing like a full liver no They actually are kind of cute But they're not now it's mammal well that's your armadillos a mammal too. I don't know No It's it's not gonna work You need something fluffy even though the polar bear will rip you to shreds

1:24:54 Yeah, and eat you. And yeah you put the polar bear on a little piece of ice and float him with his sad eyes... You take an armadillo what can you do with an armadillo to make him look sad and cute and adorable? He has no expression. Sorry Armadillos! You got nothing now. An interesting little factoid that's overlooked in this is that all the scientists were all in on the global cooling About 70% of them moved over to global warming. Same people! But the unknown factor is that a good percent, maybe 10 or 20%, of the original cooling types they're still on that trip. They're still saying cooling. Do you have any names? No I had... this was a couple years ago when I saw the list

CHAPTER 26 / 52 Discussion

Smith-Mundt Act, Army Propaganda Exercises

The U.S. Army is conducting exercises at Fort Irwin to train troops in responding to Russian propaganda and electronic warfare. The discussion touches on the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 and its subsequent modernization, which critics argue allows the U.S. government to more easily propagandize its own citizens via the internet.

smith-mundt act· propaganda· fort irwin· electronic warfare· department of defense

1:25:43 And yeah, but there are a couple guys I could dig them up that are still they said no no this is bullcrap. This warming thing's nonsense we're getting freezed to death so at least a couple of them were sincere. I would say i'm more in that camp long term than anything else you know it's more deadly that's for sure. I'm gonna get you into Ukraine right now and do this in a unique way For one of the complaints we have about all the bills, we've analyzed all the big money that's been spent throughout the decade and a half. The National Defense Authorization Act that overturned the Smith-Mundt Act was the one that was most disturbing. The Smith-Mundt Act from I believe originally in the 70s, I think maybe an early 80s. The Smith-Mundt Act was put in place to ensure that United States government

1:26:37 could not propagandize its own citizens. And we have an entire division, the Broadcast Board of Governors used to include Tucker Carlson's dad by the way Then they created Voice of America and Voice of Europe and Radio Free Russia, it's all American propaganda that was typically broadcast via shortwave longwave medium wave into these countries. And with the introduction of the internet The theory was well look we can't be trolling people on Twitter you know with all kinds of disinformation Americans might see it but we don't want to violate the law so instead of us not doing that

1:27:19 We're going to change the law and do away with it. Smith-Mundt Act, I'm sorry 1948 Holy crap! What happened? Something happened with the Smith Mundt Act in the 70s i thought Maybe It was first passed by Smith & Mundt and he...it was called The nickname was United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 Well, here's where we are today.

1:27:59 is the use of the Internet. The Army is currently doing scenario exercises at Fort Irwin in California, troops are learning how to respond to specific Russian tactics used in the invasion of Ukraine including electronic warfare insurgency and propaganda So do you think that the Department of Defense goes to Twitter and says, okay here's a list of 10,000 accounts. You leave these alone because these are us, these are the good guys we're here to propagandize, you can't touch us? I guarantee you that list exists. I wouldn't be a bit surprised...

CHAPTER 28 / 52 Discussion

Episode 1442 Artwork, Nestworks, Pan Am Nostalgia

The hosts review the artwork for episode 1442, titled "Slime Mold," created by the artist Nestworks. The discussion covers the artist's use of a "tag" signature and transitions into nostalgia for the Pan Am airline logo and the "Value for Value" model of show support.

nestworks· graffiti art· pan am· podcasting 2.0· value for value

1:31:41 The artwork was nestworks, which is a very very nice piece the so-called graffiti piece although I still think it's called you pronounce it as graffiti but You just pronounced it as graffiti. You can but I've well we've been through this I say tomato tomato tomato tomato Nestworks, I don't think Nestworks had a win in the past few months. He's had a couple actually and he gets a newsletter win every so often too. Now he's a pro that's why. I like this piece of art it has she in the back and

1:32:27 The back in the green and the whole thing is just that it's a very well done piece He thought he was gonna he mentioned in new agenda social that he thinks he was good thought. It was gonna win now There was one thing in particular That was a premier in his art that you caught the last time he won for sure was the Valentine's Day show He used the first artist as far as we know to sign his work yes, right I'm glad your thought of remember dad Yes, he actually tagged was kind of a uh graffiti tag um in the corner bottom right hand corner wait but that's not a tag you taught me that's not a tag it's kind of a tag the tag is just initials

1:33:13 Yeah, generally but you can tag your whole name if you want. It's a little more elaborate than a tag would be. A tag would just kind of in black and it'd just be a messy looking thing But if I was going to call this something personally, I would call it a tag but he did it in the corner and uh...I don't know if that is gonna open up the gates of hell, so far as these artists are concerned. I think he got away with it because of the nature of the piece...I don't know that everybody can... No no it fit with the piece because it was a name you know spray-painted yeah It was a nice piece there were other things that we looked at now The Groomers with the Epstein Island temple? No

1:34:01 We liked the Sir Net Ned take a bus on the Pan Am logo, but we decided that pretty much nobody remembers the pan and Excellent piece it really made a point Yeah And I and then Adam brought it up that if this you know This is a great nice nice piece very usable. I think the other pieces still better But very useable piece but who they all besides us remembers to Pan Am logo I remember Pan Am so well. I used to fly them all the time, they had little swizzle sticks with a round end that had the Pan Am logo on it just like that and my sisters wore dresses with white gloves and I wore suit when we were flying back in the day in little boy suit when I was in the 70s early seventies oh you must look so cute with that long hair yeah right

1:34:56 And what else do we have? A lot of Twitter stuff, none of which was really compelling. We had buy luxury mansions BLM but that's an old joke that circulated the Biden ghost guns didn't really talk about obscure barking Jen we thought was kind of cute no agenda goat slime from Darren also also nice I did like... I liked the Go to Shanghai card from a Monopoly game, Dougopoli by Capitalist Agenda. No wait- That was a good point Wait we but we used that on the previous episode so i don't know why you're looking that far back no we didn't use that in the previous episode pretty sure we did no I'm sure no I'm guaranteeing we didn't use what go to shanghai? That card? The monopoly card yeah

1:35:49 Let's see, 1441. No? Was it 1440? I'm so sure we used this! Oh no, no...I remember. I used it as the pre-art for the pre stream. Right and we did discuss well should we use it again that would be two times in a row that we had pre art and album art That was the conversation, I remember it. Yeah that's right exactly and then we back looked over everything again and that's when the capitalist agenda thing came or not sorry the Ness work thing came forward yes And Dame Kenny been valiant effort with a child shoe but there were some technical issues with your piece mainly the flowers? Yes for one okay couple things

1:36:38 The child's shoe was like, it wasn't scuffed up. Didn't look like a real shoe. And with the blood runs I have no idea... If I may? The shoe cannot be on its side it needs to be flat on the ground this is doesn't bring them the same emotion of the child blown out of it. And then the flowers that she had in the background looked like a rope between two cameras yeah yeah well there's your criticism. It was a mess! We congratulate Nessworks for the outstanding work on this piece and thank you very much. Value for value in its truest form from our artists, we like time talent and treasure whatever you can do to support the show when people do so much The Troll Room is not owned or operated by us nor I mean we have servers, we have No Agenda meetups, we had Damastadon, noagendasocial.com all of that is time talents and treasure from the producers

Executive Producer Donations, YouTube Strikes, IRS Criticism

The hosts thank high-tier donors and discuss the technical challenges of maintaining the show, including YouTube strikes against third-party uploaders. They urge listeners to use modern podcast apps to avoid de-platforming and read notes from producers criticizing the IRS and supporting the show's "truth-seeking" mission.

executive producers· youtube strikes· irs· donations· podcast apps

1:37:35 And the same goes for Dreb Scott, who will take many of these pieces of artwork and display them proudly in our Podcasting 2.0 chapters You really should drop the Legacy app and be using a modern podcast app not only for all these extra features but also for No de-platforming We could get kicked off Apple at any moment I don't think we're on most other platforms—we shouldn't be But some people even got used to listening to us on YouTube. And now the producer who was uploading it to YouTube, which he asked if that was okay...

1:38:12 So I don't care. He said, well, I got to stop uploading it to YouTube because I keep getting strikes against my channel and going to get kicked off of YouTube! Yeah that's why we don't upload it to YouTube so if you were watching there and you missed it get a new podcast app NewPodcastApps.com Now let's thank our executive and associate executive producers part of the treasure parts of the three T's for episode 1443 Kicking it off with James Schneeberger from North Carolina, Cary, North Carolina and big baller today 1428 And let's see what his note is.

It still can only get their open rate to 35% of the newsletter itself after sending out the secondary note So, we had a lot of possible reasons for it but at least they responded to the secondary note. Aaron Moore comes in from Niceville 11115 and I have no note from him and I didn't find one. I do not have a note from him either so... I can look while you're doing… why don't you read the next few?

Military Inventory Dumping, F-4 Phantom Drone Mission

A former Air Force "Wild Weasel" pilot, now Sir Weasel, describes how the U.S. military uses proxy wars to rotate expiring munitions. He shares a story of shooting down a remote-controlled F-4 Phantom drone that coincidentally had his own name painted on it from his service during Desert Storm. He now operates the Knik River Ranch in Alaska.

wild weasel· f-4 phantom· f-15e strike eagle· alaska· knik river ranch

1:45:37 By the way, we got a number of notes from people that confirmed that this is inventory dumping. Oh in Ukraine yes in Ukraine so just when you say inventory dumping and I think it's clear this note also makes it clear the whole idea is you have perfectly good munitions but But the military-industrial complex needs to continue churning. So what a great opportunity, well let's give that stuff away so the $800 million is... That's not really the stuff that has gone away it's new money! New money they can use. Fugazodo had one commentary about and then I got another note which is not this one but this was an interesting note too from a Marine who noticed all of the stuff we're sending them as marine surplus

1:46:23 He says it's all junk because the Marines are moving away from artillery so getting rid of these howitzers is actually a good thing. Yeah, they're all doing cyber, they're doing online propaganda you don't need to blow people up anymore My comment was exactly why would we scrap perfectly good weapons when they can be used by somebody to kill someone. Yeah, in Africa or something! Anywhere just as long as they kill someone okay let's go with this our note here In the morning today's donation of 333 dot 33 pushes me into knighthood I wish to be named Sir Weasel keeper of the pioneer peak

1:46:59 Last show's discussion of the rotation of military weapons similar to groceries with an expiration date was correct. Doesn't like a good proxy war to test out weapons and get rid of old stock. It reminded me of a story that may be too long to share on this show, but is interesting nonetheless I think it's interesting so read it I was a backseater in both the F4G Wild Weasel and also the F-15E Strike Eagle with over 120 combat missions. The Air Force, in order to test missiles in their inventory will task aircrew such as myself to shoot down a full scale drone aircraft with a missile randomly chosen from the Indian inventory." That's some kind of quality control they do with hard disks by the way. He sent he sent a picture! He was basically Goose in Top Gun

1:47:46 Yeah, I mean it's the same plane everything like holy crap and he's got his name on the side. Woo! The program provides realistic training and also verifies the inventory almost as well as a good skirmish would Uh, I was in the Strike Eagle when I was selected to shoot down the drone. I tracked the drone with a targeting pod and we shot it down with an MRAM! The drone in this case was a retired F4 converted to be flown remotely Like into it like into a building John as fate would have at the f4 shot The F for I shot down that day actually had my name printed on the side from an early From earlier in my desert storm days. Oh, what are this was completely random occurrence? As there are over 5,000 f-4 is producing only one had my name on it the pictures are attached

1:48:43 After leaving the Air Force and a stint with a soulless defense contractor, I now own and run my own ranch. Nice! Raising pheasants, geese, ducks, and bird dogs I also have a campground with cabins. The property is amazing as it is the base of Pioneer Peak along the, what's the river? The Knick River in Alaska. Producers who enter ITM as a coupon code on knickriverranch.com will receive a 20% discount when reserving a cabin. For the round table, I request Jeremiah Weed Whiskey

1:49:24 This is reasonable. And Alaskan king crab, I also request goat karma and pigs in human clothing for jingles. Jim Parker, Butte Alaska So i went to knickriverranch.com Oh man this is something the keeper and I would consider it's sporty It's outdoorsy and sporty, that's for sure. But man it is so beautiful! And you can ride horses on the frozen Knik River? Hmm. You should look at that website, I'll actually put it in the show notes It is dynamite! Alaska's the only state i've never been to... I've only been to Anchorage for like a 24 hour period Yeah you did a toe tap, it counts A toe tap yeah, little toe tap Thank you very much Jim Parker and thank you for your courage Thank you for your service!

A producer from Vermont discusses the start of maple syrup season, while another producer describes moving from "Portlandistan" to Spokane to escape urban decay. The segment includes a request for "Yellen Jobs Karma" and a discussion on the naming of the Comirnaty vaccine.

1:56:53 And he writes, been a while since I've donated. But notice my last year's donation put me over the level for baronet since it's maple syrup season in Vermont and like to change my name from Sir Richard the Lionhearted to Syrup get it? Of the Green Mountain State maybe we could get some sugar on show, no sugar on snow at the round table making maples sugar on snow. I don't know why you can't say that and finally add me to the birthday list okay we gotcha you're on the birthdays. That's interesting, you had a real brain block sugar on snow yeah sugar on snow. Oh yeah I healed ya fixed sir Mike Sir Mark Mark Koolen is in The Netherlands in Weidenes 333. Weidenes! Weideness that's right hello Adam and John as founding father of the no agenda stream oh

1:57:53 That's interesting. I hereby donate to be an executive producer and to advance from baronette to baron of East Lake City you are the reason i have been unmasked, unvaccinated, and unafraid! Hail to no agenda! Nice one Mark thank you very much. I'll grab this next one too it's blowed out my spreadsheet this note Brian Maloney M-O-L-O-N Brian Maloney Spokane Washington 333 in the morning thank you for your courage I've been listening since Adam's first rogan appearance broken donation And I've been meaning to donate for quite some time. The value the show has provided in my life is a need of balance, so i'm finally donating and am no longer a douchebag! Please de-douche me. You've been de-douched While I'm at it call... please call out my friend Kyle as a douchebag! I hit him in the mouth shortly after moving from Portland... Portlandistan to Spokane

1:58:46 And you help keep us both sane with your amygdala-shrinking conspiracy therapy. Boots on the ground report, Portland really is a shithole! Sadly I'm one of those producers whose keeper didn't appreciate his shrunken amygdala No regrets on the major life change but the moral of this story is that all... Yeah All producers should immediately go hit their keeper in the mouth upon hearing this if they haven't already You've given me great value and now have some of my treasure, but I want to also add some of my talent by suggesting a production note. Oh! Alright... you know what? It's fair it's fair production note we someone has a note finally someone has a production note. You sometimes pronounce the name of the vaccine as if it were Sherlock Holmes rival Moriarty Comergnardie

1:59:32 May I suggest you pronounce it so it is nearly indistinguishable from your best woke impersonation of the word community. If you practice the pronunciation by referring to those who accepted the vaccine into their life as the cominarty community, then it sounds more like cumonate cuminate and you've nailed it! Oh man... Add some of your finest vocal fry for the cherry on top. Okay Cominarty community Bonus points if you start referring to all the diverse communities as communities. You know what? No, I like it appreciate the note but no one knows the name of the vaccine It's Pfizer Moderna and it's also not the vaccine that there is no community of Cominarty in America because its not on the market here cause it's a scam

2:00:22 Lastly, huge shout-out to producer Tim for his help getting me up and running with a no agenda phone. What a fabulous producer Kimunartai is out there! Time to find the meetup near me I found the job in Spokane prior to requesting Job Karma so I'd like to pass my Job Karma request forward for those in need.

Biden whole load and loaded up and look at that juice yes I'm 12! I got you i'm not so sure about the Yellen jobs karma did we have a Yellen jobs karma?

2:01:18 about that be committed. It was hard to get it aroused and it is hard to get it aroused but we got it aroused I'm gonna give you the whole load today Oh my gosh! Can you see that juice? You thought Jobs, jobs, jobs karma. Huh? That's pretty funny coming from her I don't recall that one, but okay.

Mariupol Geography Error, BBC and NPR Reporting

The hosts criticize a BBC report, aired on NPR, which incorrectly described the city of Mariupol as being "just outside of Kiev." In reality, the two cities are over 450 miles apart. The segment frames this as a blatant failure of media vetting and geographical accuracy.

mariupol· kiev· bbc· npr· geography· fact check

2:07:40 Mario Porte, Mario Porte. And they have flattened it of course as we know Do we know that? Do you do we know for sure they flattened it I think is pretty flattened Okay But I want you to listen carefully to this Update which ran on NPR It was vetted by NPR and it was a BBC report and I will then go off on On it with a rant. This is where you put I'm sorry, Mariupol Update BBC NPR. Kranich Lodomir Zelensky says the destruction by Russian troops of the defenders of Mariupol will put an end to the negotiation process The Russian Defense Ministry claims its forces have the whole urban area of Mariupol The BBC's Sasha Schlichter has more Referring to a devastated town outside Kiev Mr Zelensky said Mariupol may turn out as bad as 10 Borodyankas

2:08:32 adding that if Russia's goal was an early end to the war, its actions in Mariupol were a big mistake. We trade neither in territory nor in our people he said and the more Borodyankas there are the more difficult it will be Earlier, Ukraine insisted its troops were still holding out in the ruins of Mariupol where the defences concentrated around the huge Azovstal metalworks adjoining the port. Reuters journalists have reached Mariupols other giant factory, the Ilyich steel works only to find in their words a silent ruin of twisted steel and blasted concrete with no sign of defenders present." The BBC's Sasha Schlichter. Okay...

2:09:16 And if you caught that in there, probably not. It slipped right by but I ISOed it under the clip BBC subclip referring to a devastated town outside Kiev Mariupol? A town out... Okay Mariupol is a town outside of Kiev according to the BBC report So is Fredericksburg! Okay I'm going to give you some numbers here So Mariupol is, if you wanted to drive there from Kiev it's 461 miles. So thus San Diego is just outside of San Francisco according to this guy. A couple other little items here Dallas to Fredericksburg is 196 miles if you drive so your much more like... Five hours! You're right outside of Dallas I am basically in a suburb of Dallas It's only five hours to drive

2:10:17 And so it's actually closer to Lublin, Poland than it is to Mariupol. It's about the same distance to Warsaw as it is to Mariupol and I can go on and on. So why are they lying to us? Why are they lying to us that Mariupol is just outside of Kiev when it's nowhere near Kiev? Sacramento is closer to San Francisco than this. It's about the distance to Reno I mean, how was this just outside of Kiev? The question is why do they say this? Why are they blatantly lying and you have an answer and is vetted because NPR played at full cloth

2:11:07 Well, I don't know why. I don't know why they're lying but this is a blatant lie! Fact check false! Yes you know? I've heard so many of these... Fact check false! Yeah i've heard uh..I mean just heard it a lot and and you know that I consider even Lviv to not really be just outside No its not! Lviv's nowhere near Kiev Lviv is probably about halfway to Mariupol in distance, so it's probably a good 200 miles. Yeah but it's off to the left. No, it's off to the west yeah but its 200 miles to the west But that's always just outside of Kiev. Why are they lying? Well because they're probably lying about a lot of stuff I guess... I think this whole thing there's nothing but lying now let's listen to you know I got a clip that this is a good catch by the way good catch thank you

CHAPTER 36 / 52 Discussion

Scott Ritter, Bucha Massacre Counter-Narrative

Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter presents a counter-narrative to the Bucha massacre, suggesting that Ukrainian National Police carried out a "cleansing operation" against residents who collaborated with Russian forces. Ritter claims the presence of white armbands and Russian ration boxes near the bodies indicates the victims were pro-Russian civilians.

scott ritter· bucha· ukraine· collaborators· cleansing operation

2:12:06 It just irks me. Yes, I understand it irks me too! So now a boot shot is still a questionable situation... Also a lie another lie. It looks like a lie but let's listen to our friend the who was condemned from all media because he accused pedophile Scott Ritter, the military intelligence guy. He shows up on a I think this is a white supremacist podcast? I'm not sure what's the podcast called called Dawson's anti neocon radio or something like that it's Dawsons

2:12:46 And he showed up on there, somebody sent this to me. And I listened to it and I think it's a pretty good rundown of why Butchah seems to be bogus and listen to Scott Ritter as the three-parter, Scott Ritter on Butchah. The reason why bring this up is we're talking about mindset. We have one side that says we're trying to preserve human life, civilian life in civilian infrastructure. We have the other side that says if you collaborate with the Russians, you will be killed I mean, it's written down. They've made videos they talk about it so now the Russians from Bukov withdraw or this withdrawal while they were there for several weeks The Russian military says we had good relations with the local people It was peaceful We traded our dry rations for their dairy products So they had a system of barter set up

2:13:36 So the citizens of Bukov would give them eggs, milk cheese and the Russians would give them the dry rations. The flour, salt, sugar, meat etc. And this was going on then the Russians left anybody who engaged in that kind of interaction with the Russians was now viewed as a collaborator we know this because Ukrainian National Police have published an announcement that they are going into Buka on April 1st to carry out a cleansing operation, to liquidate the collaborators. All right? This is the exact opposite of the Russian approach which is we treat everybody with respect and we try not to harm civilians. The Ukrainians are saying if you cooperate with the Russians you will die

2:14:26 They have a videotape of a senior political figure announcing on social media to the citizens of Bucca, stay in your homes. The national police are carrying out a cleansing operation do not panic! Stay in your home she repeats it over and over and over again why? Because the police are in the streets gunning people down Yeah there's a Dutch journalist who also is boots-on-the-ground she's been writing and I posted its in the show notes just completely countering the narrative that we're seeing from the M5M. And Ryan Dawson, by the way? He's been around for quite a while I think he's an ex-spook certainly since he graduated as a historian—I guess a degree in history—from William and Mary

CHAPTER 37 / 52 Discussion

Safari Unit, Forensic Discrepancies in Bucha

The discussion continues regarding the "Safari Unit" of the Ukrainian Special Police and forensic discrepancies in the Bucha reporting. Ritter argues that the condition of the bodies shown on television did not match the timeline of a two-week-old massacre, suggesting they were killed more recently by Ukrainian forces.

2:15:19 Which is where my cousins went to school. Hello? Oh, hello William and Mary. Yeah, his very elitist spook school So or for the only reason I suggested white supremacists thing because this is a logo there that looks very you know It's very fishy logo with it Well he's been kicked off of every platform PayPal de-platformed him. Yes He's gone everywhere so yeah he must have something interesting to say it's the way I look at it well Let's go to part two of this clip okay hold on a second kicking in doors of people who are collaborating and killing them. And we know this is more than just a document and videotape, as there's I mean, videotape of the lady speakers because we have video tape of them actually doing it! We have video tape with Ukrainian police especially in Azov group proudly claiming that you're going on a safari that's important word because when we talk about propaganda or you take the language of one side flip it and use it again to get your take your language flip it and use against the other guys

2:16:16 It's Ukrainians who have a special unit, the name of the Ukrainian Special Police Unit that went into Buka was the Safari Unit. And they were carrying out a safari to cleanse the pro-Russian collaborators and cleansing means kill not capture, kill and they're doing it. Then they go around and they filmed the dead bodies and say the Russians did it Now, there's a couple things about the dead bodies. One most of them are wearing white armbands which means that they were telling the Russians we're on your side don't shoot us right to near each body is a green dry ration box which they were carrying when they got killed and it's on the ground next to

2:17:04 Three, when they didn't have the armband it's because the armband had been taken off and used to bind their hands. These people were murdered, murdered not by the Russians but by the Ukrainians and yet that's not the spin that we're getting right now The spin we're getting is just the opposite All the forensic data that's available right now strongly suggests that the Ukrainians are responsible for death of these people in Bukovka There's no doubt about it Yeah this video them shooting people on the head Yeah, this is Washington Post isn't talking about this. Let's go to the... just wrap it up with those. This last bit now this could be you know counter you know disinformation we don't know what going on here but his little commentary has here at the end about the dead bodies being there for two weeks I think it's pretty convincing

2:17:58 The other interesting thing is they're trying to say these bodies died. I don't want to get too graphic here, but you shoot a body on March 19th and you leave it lying in the street in 50 and 60 degree weather until April 2nd. The body ain't looking like they're looking on TV. Bodies tend to blow up the clothing tends to tear because the body swells and then the body bursts. And it's very disgusting, it's gross, it's fetid, it's putrid... It's not what you saw on TV! What you saw on TV were freshly killed human beings and we have another piece of evidence that more people need to pay attention to a Mexican journalist gained access to hookah on the same day that the Ukrainians were declaring this and he filmed the bodies fresh blood

2:18:50 He sat there and said, these people are freshly killed. This is fresh blood body laying there since March 19th and has fresh blood. These people were murdered on April 1st by the Ukrainian National Police. And yet we have the president United States coming out saying that this is a war crime perpetrated by the Russians of Vladimir Putin needs to be brought to justice in the Hague This is a propaganda war unlike anything we've seen in modern times because it's not just about manufacturing the case for war. This is about an outright lie, about murder which makes us complicit in the crime. Us being Americans because that's our president who's facilitating the crime. So Sonja van der Ende is a journalist from Rotterdam, The Netherlands she went and reported from Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republic

CHAPTER 38 / 52 Discussion

Embedded Journalists, Ukrainian Refugee Crisis

The hosts observe a lack of Western journalists embedded with the Ukrainian army compared to those embedded with Russian forces. They also discuss the long-term social and economic implications of millions of Ukrainian refugees entering Poland and the wider European Union.

embedded journalism· refugees· poland· european union· donetsk

2:19:43 as an embedded reporter with the Russian army, which of course you need to take with any grain of salt because that's how it goes when you're embedded. Which reminds me why oh why do we not have a single journalist embedded with the Ukrainian Army? This is what many journalists live to be embedded Isn't that interesting, there's no embedded journalists in this horrible war? And they're all just in Lviv and in front of the green screen of the night shot of The Square. Even if it's raining and dry. So she... And a dog barking in the studio She says the same thing. In Buka many witnesses

2:20:27 I'm going to say that Russian army left on March 30th, even the Ukrainian military who came in on April 1st didn't report any corpses on the streets. This happened on April 3rd according to the Western media. Evidence also shows that the bodies had white armbands a sign of the Russian Army. The soldiers wear them so the soldiers are killing the Russian Ukrainians? Yeah no way! The majority of the people who I spoke with were very happy that the Russian special operation started. Of course, nobody wants violence in war but they've been suffering for eight years now from war carnage and destruction by Ukrainian forces the worst where the Nazi battalions who are fighting along with the regular army." It's all so consistent but you know the true travesty of this war is the reported millions

2:21:18 refugees who are now in Poland, they're going to spread out throughout the EU, the Western states of the EU. That's the real destruction here will they be able to go back? Will they want to go back you know what is Europe doing? Europe can't handle any more refugees it's just too much Let's here's another interesting situation. This is more of a social media problem. This is the sinking of the mosque. Yeah, this has been a great story yeah well let's listen to France 24's

CHAPTER 39 / 52 Discussion

Sinking of the Moskva, Social Media Disinformation

The Russian flagship cruiser Moskva sank in the Black Sea following what Ukraine claims was a Neptune missile strike. France 24 reports that several viral videos of the sinking were actually digitally altered footage from a 2013 Norwegian Navy exercise and a 2019 incident, highlighting the prevalence of misinformation on both sides of the conflict.

moskva· black sea fleet· flagship· france 24· disinformation

2:21:56 kind of the rundown. This is thinking of the Moskva intro and no matter which side you believe, the optics well they're bad Russia announcing that its flagship cruiser in the Black Sea, The Moskva had been sunk while being towed it was after a fire on board says the Kremlin Ukrainian made mercury type missile claims Kiev the Russian response quick incoming the bombing overnight of a factory southwest of the capital that makes Neptune missiles and Moscow throwing up new unconfirmed claims at Ukraine's hitting targets across the border. So yeah this, this ship sinking is weird first I've seen this ship looking at some reports from 2015 This is their flagship?

2:22:47 I know, believe me. It's not all that impressive. It's dorky! It has the ICBM launchers which you could launch from anything. This ship is not impressive. Not what i've seen Yeah, I'm not going to argue with that but let's listen to France 24 truth or fake a segment which we used to play a little more of but this time this woman comes out and she has two instances of how social media is passing around the shipping, the sinking of this ship. According to the Russians, this ship was damaged from something or other if they had a problem on board and they were trying to tow it back to I guess Crimea and on their way back it sunk

2:23:32 Because it blew up or something happened to it. Yeah, well it got bombed is what the claim is... Well yeah but then again the bombing seems to be a big fake! Listen to sinking of the Moskva 1 Social media users actually took a screenshot of this video from 2019 and flipped it, and added a green filter to make it look like more of a military-sourced video. But as this user points out, it can be easily done on digital alteration apps." Oh okay! Yeah there you go so what you're saying... the mainstream is reporting on

2:24:11 Disinfo from Twitter Photoshop jobs and now that there's a second version of this where they actually show the ship being blowed up But listen to this. This is sinking of the mosque of two Yeah, and the sinking of the Moskva is really a major development in the war. And so that's triggered a lot of online reaction you've been looking at another claim made after this event? Indeed we have a second example right here footage of an exploding ship that users claimed to be the Moskva notably this post on Telegram by the leader of the Azov Nationalist Regiment In Ukraine, just a reminder to our viewers that the Azov Nationalist Regiment is a controversial far-right militia fighting for the Ukrainian Armed Forces led by Andriy Beletsky who posted this video on Telegram. So many users reposted this video on social media claiming that they belong to the Moscow cruiser in the Black Sea

2:25:05 known as the Moskva. This user says, the founder of the Azov regiment published a video of the explosion of the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet. This user saying in the moments when cruiser Moscow was receiving greetings from Ukrainian army and here's a video of a strike on the cruiser Moscow but in reality these photos have nothing to do with this incident In reality, these images belong to this Norwegian Navy exercise from 2013 that we also saw in the news. But just a reminder that this is also war on misinformation from both Ukraine and Russia and in this particular situation, a source of misinformation coming from members of the Ukrainian armed forces." Oh no! I disagree with what she's saying there... No!

2:25:55 No, she's saying misinformation from Ukraine armed forces? No. I will take you back to the beginning of our show. In the invasion of Ukraine including electronic warfare insurgency and propaganda This is us! This is what we do America Doing a crappy job If two old white guys can figure it out yeah So, but this came whoever they... the Ukrainian army posted this saying it was legit. So they're just lying! Yes! Because they know it's not legit. The first victim of war is always the truth. This never ends it seems let's go to

CHAPTER 40 / 52 Discussion

NATO Expansion, Finland and Sweden Fast-Track

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is reportedly fast-tracking membership applications for Finland and Sweden. The hosts discuss how this expansion encroaches on Russian borders and could escalate the conflict into a wider war involving NATO nations.

nato· finland· sweden· jens stoltenberg· madrid conference

2:26:44 This is the war analysis, it's kind of interesting. This is French 24 again where they have this little panel to get together and they bitch and moan about stuff but this is kind of interesting...this is the Ukraine F-24 war analysis The number and scale of missile strikes on targets in Kiev will increase in response to any terrorist attacks or sabotage of the Kiev nationalist regime on Russian territory Yeah, that spokesperson's words coupled with Defense Ministry images of missiles flying into the sky. Vivian Waltz? This is obviously really worrying because it's clearly a moment in which everybody is gearing up for the major battle that's going to happen in the East and It's just very hard to see how this war is going to keep contained within the borders of Ukraine whether or not

2:27:37 Kiev has actually struck over the border again, which they did once into Russia. You know now you have Finland and Sweden fast-tracked into NATO so you have so many different signs that this is going to become a wider war and it's almost like everybody's... A wider war with NATO nations is what you're saying? Well whether its West or East we're not quite sure at this point But, you know it could be argued that NATO is already involved. I mean NATO is clearly arming Ukraine heavily they've done tremendous training of Ukrainian forces and it's showing on the battlefield

2:28:24 We have several producers in Finland and this is a big thing. You know, Finland's obviously connected to Russia Most people don't know that either but go look at the map And Finland is being actively, aggressively courted into NATO and it's a big controversy. Not only that but the term she uses fast track. Fast tracking yes! It takes years to get into NATO generally this is that maniac that's running NATO That guy is horrible person Jens Stoltenberg? Yeah that guy so let's go into part two of this clip because there's got a little thing here little item I thought was good

CHAPTER 41 / 52 Discussion

Finnish DNA, NATO Membership Costs

A report on Finland's potential NATO membership suggests it would cost the country 1% to 1.5% of its defense budget and would not necessarily require hosting nuclear weapons or permanent bases. The hosts note the unique cultural and genetic identity of the Finnish people compared to other Scandinavians.

finland· dna· nato budget· military bases· nuclear weapons

2:29:03 I'm sorry, I am not sure it's going to spread but it will be like being a fortune seeker in war times. It is impossible but I think – I don't think it's going to spread but I think it's going to be very long. I think it's going to be longer than what we presumed and I think it's absolutely like the Syria scenario that we had And I think that Joe Biden is absolutely not helping and has not been helping with the rhetoric that he's been going forward with from last month in Poland when he said war criminal to a few days ago. I think it was on Tuesday when he mentioned the word genocide, so I think that is escalating not in terms of territorial gain but in terms of the rhetoric and the sanctions that are being put on the table

2:29:54 The Finnish Prime Minister and Swedish Prime Minister did a joint press conference on Thursday addressing these very items. Interesting fact, both the prime ministers of Sweden and Finland are women they're all in as far as I can glean from the English Finnish press. That can't be, because if women become the leaders they're peace lovers! Thank you for picking that well this is all about peace you see so they have a report this report outlines the advantages and disadvantages of Finland joining NATO and considered the starting point of an official debate about Finlands possible membership in

2:30:36 in the military alliance, the report says NATO membership would not necessitate Finland hosting nuclear weapons a permanent NATO military base or even Alliance troops. Oh! It would only cost them 1 to 1.5 percent of Finlands current defense budget so give us your money and there was something else in here oh yes according to this newspaper sources, Finland is expected to apply for membership in the near future with its application likely being sent to the North Atlantic Council sometime between April and June before the big NATO conference in Madrid at the end of June. So this is fast-tracked and that's gonna kick off... you know, the Finns

2:31:20 The Finns are not your typical, these are not Europeans necessarily. They're not Russians they're kind of the even their DNA is not at all like Scandinavian DNA they're very separate type of people and it's going to be interesting to see how they get corralled into this It's not a great idea. The whole point of Russia being pissed off is because you're encroaching Russia, Finland is next! Let's encroach more! Yeah and they're considering it I don't understand You already de-platformed them? Very odd Well let's...I got one...really I gotta...I want to play the Biden genocide comment that's part of the

2:32:09 Big part of the narrative. Yes, okay I have it here The White House is offering further comment on President Biden's claims of genocide being committed by Russian forces in his NPRs Windsor Johnston reports Biden had stopped short of using that term Until now. President Biden on Tuesday said Russia's war in Ukraine amounts to genocide, accusing President Vladimir Putin of trying to wipe out the idea of even being a Ukrainian White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki says Biden's remarks come as it becomes more clear what is happening in Ukraine He was speaking to what he feels we see on the ground

CHAPTER 42 / 52 Discussion

Biden Genocide Rhetoric, CIA Nuclear Warnings

President Joe Biden officially characterized Russia's actions in Ukraine as "genocide" while announcing an additional $800 million in military aid. Simultaneously, CIA Director William Burns warned that the U.S. cannot take the threat of Russia using tactical nuclear weapons lightly, a claim the hosts view as potential escalation rhetoric.

joe biden· genocide· william burns· cia· tactical nukes

2:31:20 The Finns are not your typical, these are not Europeans necessarily. They're not Russians they're kind of the even their DNA is not at all like Scandinavian DNA they're very separate type of people and it's going to be interesting to see how they get corralled into this It's not a great idea. The whole point of Russia being pissed off is because you're encroaching Russia, Finland is next! Let's encroach more! Yeah and they're considering it I don't understand You already de-platformed them? Very odd Well let's...I got one...really I gotta...I want to play the Biden genocide comment that's part of the

2:32:09 Big part of the narrative. Yes, okay I have it here The White House is offering further comment on President Biden's claims of genocide being committed by Russian forces in his NPRs Windsor Johnston reports Biden had stopped short of using that term Until now. President Biden on Tuesday said Russia's war in Ukraine amounts to genocide, accusing President Vladimir Putin of trying to wipe out the idea of even being a Ukrainian White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki says Biden's remarks come as it becomes more clear what is happening in Ukraine He was speaking to what he feels we see on the ground

2:32:45 But regardless of what you call it, what our objective now is evidenced by the enormous package of military assistance today is continue to help and assist the Ukrainians in this war. And one where we see atrocities happening every single day. President Biden announced an additional 800 million dollars in military assistance to Ukraine as Russia shifts its military operation to the eastern part of the country. Package again with the package, a military package Okay, I have two things to contribute to this. First of all it was the CIA director who came... our CIA came out and said Putin could get desperate he might start nuking! That's very irresponsible of him to say that. I'd agree with this when I first I think I wrote this up in a newsletter thus

2:33:37 When they start saying this kind of thing, because it doesn't make any sense that you'd use any sort of nuke in Ukraine. Because for one thing it's a bread basket area and you don't want to contaminate the wheat fields or anything and it just doesn't make any sense whatsoever so it sounds more like weird gonna blow one of these things off, contaminate the wheat fields change the commodity markets probably ruin that area for growing wheat for you know a hundred years. I don't like this it just sounds like a setup to me there's no clip unfortunately but William Burns he is the current CIA director this was Thursday warned the US cannot take lightly the threat of Russian President Vladimir Putin using nuclear weapons quote give

2:34:26 Given the potential desperation of President Putin and the Russian leadership given the setbacks that they face so far Militarily, none of us can take lightly the threat posed by a potential resort to tactical nuclear weapons or low-yield nuclear weapons They made this remarks at a Georgia Tech here conference in Atlanta Here is what Justin Trudeau has to say just just a little shortie. Just remember that he's still he's still alive So when Canadians? and friends from around the world stand for Ukraine. We are standing for Ukraine, but we're also standing for ourselves, for these values that have been undermined over the past years with a rise of authoritarianism, with attacks on social cohesion because of excessive populism and over-nationalism. We have an opportunity now as a world to stand for what is right

CHAPTER 43 / 52 Discussion

MH370 Kazakhstan Theory, History Channel Speculation

The History Channel aired a theory suggesting that flight MH370 was hijacked and flown to a Soviet-era runway in Kazakhstan. The speculation centers on a Russian passenger, Nikolai Brodsky, and implies the disappearance was a Russian operation, which the hosts dismiss as sensationalist media filler.

mh370· kazakhstan· putin· history channel· nikolai brodsky

2:35:28 It's so funny that he should say that. But this report, now I mean you can blame a lot on Russia right down to the Russia...the Steele Report, the Russian hoax. Russia, Russia, Russia! Russia, Russia everything Russia but now they're taking it to the max We've got one more thing we can blame on Russia. It's taken years to figure out this is the history channel, the math here but the data also aligns with a northern arc following the northern arc The aircraft would have passed through Northern Thailand and then Central Asia This is MH337 No! If the plane did fly along the northern route The final ping puts it

2:36:13 over central Kazakhstan. If MH370 went to Kazakhstan, it opens up a frightening possibility This theory says that terrorists hijacked the aircraft take it to Kazakhstan kill the passengers and then they could have refueled and continued to anywhere within Russia if the plane went north It could have landed safely It takes a lot of runway to land a big plane like the 777, and there aren't a lot of long runways in the remote central part of Kazakhstan. But wait! But it turns out that there is a runway not too far away that is suitable for a 777 to land on The place is called Yubilayny Runway and its part of the former Soviet military base

2:37:09 The big question is, did anyone on the plane have ties to Russia? Oh! In first class there's a Russian national named Nikolai Brodsky and he's sitting about 15 feet from an unlocked hatch which contains the electronic brain that controls all of the flight surfaces of the plane. Yes, of course. Putin!

CHAPTER 44 / 52 Discussion

SCADA Malware, Critical Infrastructure Security

A severe piece of malware, described as a "Swiss Army knife" for cyberattacks, has been discovered in U.S. critical infrastructure systems, including Schneider Electric and Omron PLCs. The malware targets SCADA systems that control physical valves and sensors in power plants. Despite its severity, the hosts note a lack of mainstream media coverage regarding the threat to the energy grid.

scada· malware· cisa· schneider electric· omron· power grid

2:37:58 What would be the point of this exercise? Did they explain that yes to make a room for history channel to produce crap. I love it! All right, this is one that i've been holding on to just something we're just going to talk about briefly uh... talked about sir dude named Ben Protector of Megawatts who works at a critical infrastructure security company in the United States And we talk regularly, he talks with a lot of different producers. He had a couple of different podcasts. He's talked with Sir Gene I think with Darren as well. He's around Sir Spencer all these different podcasts and he pinged me a week and a half ago and said okay there is an energy producer in Texas who has identified a very serious malware instance in their system

2:38:54 Ah yes, yes. You told me about this offline? Yeah right after the show I said we didn't really get to it but it was also...I wanted to wait because he explained to me and now there is CISA that's the government computer security agency the one that said the Dominion voting machines were all on the up-and-up those guys and they reported on this, it is a very severe piece of malware because they're calling it the Swiss army knife of malware. And its in these SCADA systems, these supervisory control and data acquisition devices so these are the devices that are interface between a computer

2:39:42 And, you know it could be a valve. It could be a temperature sensor so that the boiler doesn't overheat and explode. It is the interface between the data and physical world of power generation So this malware is not just in systems like a Windows Vista that are sitting in one of these plants. No, it's in the Schneider Electric programmable logic controllers – that's a PLC – It is in the Omron SysMac NEX PLCs and Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture servers Some of this stuff could only be put into these devices at the manufacturer

2:40:30 And so when I asked our dude named Ben Protector of Megawatts, he said what does it look like to you? These guys look at this stuff all day long. They say Russian because the Russians are the ones that people really do fear if you got the ghost in the machine these guys are good He says This looks like our guy's Without making a formal accusation, of course. And so I said how about this one? Because I knew that his corporation was reporting this was reporting it to the government But let's see how it gets picked up well have you seen a single M5M report about this

2:41:10 No. Anyone going, oh my god hair on fire! Even if you said the Russians or the Chinese or anybody... Yeah Every fart is blown up but this one? Oh yeah wire did a piece on it of course then you know blinking computer Of course there's people who are doing reports on it but it is not the hold onto your ass because the lights could go out in Texas or New York or anywhere This would be the one and they're not making a big deal out of it, which makes me highly suspicious And I've put in the in the show notes A couple of documents. These are public documents and you'll see this This is a this is a Matt and they don't know how many how many different devices or energy generating companies and systems have this

2:42:06 It's been in this particular system since October last year. So I'm happy, I got my generator! Yeah? I'd say you should be. Me and my generator and my friends with lots of rice. I'm gonna show myself old by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah that would be fab They're on no agenda Yes, and indeed we do have a few people to thank for show 1443 starting with anonymous in Brooklyn New York He's just loves the show.

Associate Executive Producers, Worcestershire Sauce, Flight Attendant Overlap

The hosts thank a large group of associate executive producers and clarify the pronunciation of "Worcestershire." A note from a flight attendant explains that airline chaos is often caused by "overlap" staffing issues at the end of the month rather than specific pilot hour regulations.

Adam might be correct about the pilot hours but his theory doesn't hold water as airline chaos can happen any time of the month but especially the last day of the month and well first of all it's not my theory second of all its exactly this theory unless I'm misunderstanding

2:47:04 And yes, it's probably and even on the last show we talked about flight attendants being sick and tired of it so we completely understand. Sir Robert Charles will receive his ribeye and bourbon at the roundtable thank you for your courage thank you for your support. Good.

South Carolina Mall Shooting, Chicago Security Detail Incident

A shooting at a mall in Columbia, South Carolina, left 12 people injured, which authorities claim was not a random act. In Chicago, Mayor Lori Lightfoot's security detail detained a man with modified firearms near a Shake Shack. The hosts argue these events are being used to push a narrative against "ghost guns" and high-capacity magazines.

columbia· south carolina· chicago· lori lightfoot· ghost guns· glock

3:01:22 I have two things. The war on guns is ratcheting up in the United States, we had this subway shooting which was very odd and obfuscated almost immediately by another shooting this time in South Carolina where the meetup will be remember May 16th. Breaking news here at home, the terrifying shooting at a crowded mall in Columbia South Carolina law enforcement surrounding them all confirming just as we came on the air at least 12 people were hurt 10 of them shot Authorities do not think the shooting was random. Shoppers told to shelter in place these people inside the back of a store, authorities then evacuating everyone leading people out of the mall and telling them to wait in their cars until first responders could make sure the area was safe Three people have now been detained and what we're learning about the conditions of some of the victims

3:02:19 So this is weird where the FBI in New York immediately was saying, there's no terrorism. No terrorism now for these guys in South Carolina they're saying it was a... It's not random! I'm not quite sure what not random is supposed to mean? But it seems like they're ratcheting something up. Chicago, this is another good one! The event's unfolding Tuesday evening around 9 o'clock. Sources telling ABC7 that's where the mayor security detail was parked right outside the Shake Shack restaurant at 14 South Michigan Mayor Lightfoot had just left a celebration honoring Harold Washington and had stopped in a restaurant on the top floor of the Chicago Athletic Association right next door

3:03:01 Police say the man was in a car with his hands behind him. He was driving at that time, but he was not seen by police. Sources saying a member of her security detail then noticing something alarming about one of two men standing in line and the shake shack. He immediately notified dispatch. semi-automatic handguns like these from inside the suspect's vehicle. Both weapons had an extended magazine and a laser sight attachment, one had a live round in the chamber and switch to shoot full auto Broadway is also charged with possessing a silencer and metal piercing bullets military grade weaponry according to one law enforcement expert

3:03:46 So I think that this is what it's about. This goes right to the ghost gun, in politics in the United States nothing as a coincidence as sad as it sounds you're right It wasn't just random the shooting in South Carolina these things are meant to be and they're meant to be too As quickly as possible take away guns have Americans give up their guns voluntarily The way Australia did it good luck with that before the mayhem hits I think that they know that, oh man it's gonna be really bad so we want to get rid of as many guns as possible. And then what are they highlighting? Extended magazines! What are they highlighting? Laser sights... Oh these are all very military grade stuff There is a live round in the chamber and there was... and this was a Glock auto handgun

3:04:37 Well, you know when you talk about a .45, anything other than a revolver they're all called automatics. No no but what he said is with this switch to go full auto Bull crap! Is it? I think what it is, you can say it's an automatic because that's what a pistol is called when you pull the trigger. It recocks. Just listen to the report and let's try... No! I heard the reporting he made it sound as though you could pull back and now its like a Mac-10. And it just sprays bullets. Yeah full auto. That's not where.. no No, I agree with you but let me listen to this again. With the outline of a gun... Responding police arrested 21-year old Travion Broadway and another man who was not charged both from Milwaukee according to court documents police recovered two Glock semi automatic handguns like these from inside the suspect's vehicle Both weapons had an extended magazine and a laser sight attachment one had a live round in the chamber And a switch to shoot full auto

3:05:40 I think that it may have been a Glock 18. There are fully automatic, but not easy to come by. Whatever the case this is a poor report he starts off with the semi-automatic moniker which just applies to rifles and I mean... I think it was just a bad report again doesn't know what he's doing Yes he does. What he's doing is following the messaging, following the narrative... He can read you're right and how clueless are these people? The White House they really think that this is gonna work oh you know there's so many shootings now now okay Oh, they found a gun with a bullet in the chamber in Chicago? Oh my God! Who knew?! In Chicago no less. And why are they going to Shake Shack in the first place it's not a shi- It's a New York chain They should go to one of the million and few places If you listen she was at a restaurant on the upper floor in the building next door They were just parked outside the Shake Shack Okay alright

iPhone Production Delays, China Lockdown Impact

Apple supplier Pegatron has suspended operations at its factories in Shanghai and Suzhou due to strict COVID-19 lockdowns. Since over three-quarters of iPhones are manufactured in China, experts warn that these disruptions could lead to supply shortages and price increases for the next iPhone model.

3:06:41 I did listen but all I heard was Shake Shack and maybe a skin crawl. And just all of the sudden everything else went black? It's like a plug for Shake Shack! Oh man... I only have one clip, and it's just as- who is this guy? What name do you associate with Apple phones? What manufacturer? With Apple phones? What manufacturer do I associate with Apple phones? Yeah, the iPhone. Do you associate Foxconn perhaps? Who make them? Yeah... I used to but don't know if i still do. Okay well your on the right track because they don't make it anymore because there's a new company but doesn't make any difference You're not going to get your iPhone anyway listen to this little clip Is the next iPhone Prime to take a bigger chunk out of shoppers wallets

3:07:33 Most of the devices are manufactured in China. But as much of the country remains weighed down by strict pandemic policies, The risk of putting all eggs in one basket might be growing. NTD's Don Ma speaks with an expert to learn more. China's lockdowns could now be affecting iPhone production because more than three-quarters of all iPhones are manufactured in China This could be a risk for Apple if manufacturing facility were to shut down Pegatron, for example. On Tuesday the major Apple iPhone supplier said it's stopping operations at its only two factories in Shanghai and Suzhou. Pegatron makes around a fifth to nearly 1 third of all iPhones Business lecturer Jeff Hook at Johns Hopkins University says this could affect the output of iPhones. Pegatrons one other bigger manufacturer slash suppliers so that's gonna affect

3:08:31 If the Pegatron shutdown does affect iPhone production, the next iPhone could be more expensive for you. And the demand doesn't change, being the price is going to go up unfortunately for consumers. Apple likely won't move its iPhone manufacturing out of China says Hook. Expenses would have to go up 15 or 20 percent if they were to make a phone in America instead of China Other than Apple already having infrastructure in China The wages there are much lower that the US Oh! Thanks didn't realize that

The camera in that subway station was working unlike the 36th Street Station in Sunset Park where the shooting occurred and the cameras were not working but they say he also left a trail of evidence behind him They found a credit card right there on the subway platform along with a number other items that pointed to James' identity Found this set of keys that were linked to a U-Haul rental van

3:14:21 under Frank James's name. There is a lot of technology out there including one of the things New York City is looking at, it something that essentially does what the checkpoints do when you go through at the airport but without all of that basically can just easily detect if there some sort of weapon Hoodie witnesses said he was mumbling to himself Gotta be more straightforward.
