Show Evolution, Mainstream Media Criticism, and 2009 Wildcat Strikes

The hosts discuss their transition from personal anecdotes to deep deconstruction of mainstream media, arguing that most people are too busy with corporate jobs to investigate complex stories. A 2009 clip references civil unrest in Geneva and wildcat strikes in the UK against Gordon Brown's government. This period marked the show's shift toward twice-weekly broadcasts and more aggressive news analysis.

British Wildcat Strikes, Gordon Brown Labor Controversy

British workers at oil firm Total and other outfits initiated wildcat strikes in response to a contract awarded to an Italian firm. The labor dispute centers on Prime Minister Gordon Brown's 2006 promise of "British jobs for British people" while foreign laborers are brought in on floating barges. Reports also indicate riots occurred in Geneva during the same period.
