# Folding Pre-school > Leaked FBI memos and a massive DNC lawsuit collide with Facebook’s biometric data harvesting and a Nobel Prize scandal that has paralyzed the Swedish Academy. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 1027 - **Published:** 2018-04-22 - **Length:** 2h 51m - **Topics:** Comey Memos, Facebook Biometrics, DNC Lawsuit, Nobel Scandal, eSIM Security, Lois Reese, 420 History - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1027-folding-pre-school ## About this episode Former FBI Director James Comey faces renewed scrutiny as leaked memos detail his interactions with Donald Trump regarding the Steele dossier and Russian prostitution allegations. The documents recount a specific claim that Vladimir Putin boasted about the quality of Russian sex workers, a narrative that has dominated MSNBC coverage despite the irony of liberal outlets using derogatory terminology while advocating for sex worker rights. These revelations coincide with a major DNC lawsuit led by Tom Perez against the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks, drawing sharp parallels to the legal maneuvers of the Watergate era. Technological privacy reaches a breaking point as Facebook faces a class-action lawsuit in Illinois for harvesting biometric face templates without written consent. Analysis of 11,000 patent applications reveals the company's ambitions to track user movement via smartphone accelerometers and analyze political discourse without GPS. Meanwhile, the telecommunications industry shifts toward eSIM technology, a move the Justice Department is investigating for potential security vulnerabilities. In the skies, a technical report on the Southwest Airlines engine failure points to critical flaws in fan blade ultrasonic inspections, while domestic carriers like United Airlines face criticism for declining service quality compared to foreign competitors. Jordan Peterson challenges the rise of postmodernism on Bill Maher's program, while the Swedish Academy sees six board members resign over a sexual misconduct scandal that has halted the Nobel Prize in Literature. The program also tracks the capture of Lois Reese, the fugitive grandmother apprehended in South Padre Island after a month-long manhunt. From the origins of the 420 holiday to the psychological subculture of public defecation forums, the landscape of modern deviance and digital surveillance is fully mapped. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
