## About this episode

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos accused American Media Inc. and David Pecker of extortion involving private photographs, a conflict that has expanded to include the Saudi Arabian government and the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. Bezos suggested his ownership of The Washington Post made him a target for powerful entities, while legal experts note that public figures have limited privacy recourse against the publication of newsworthy materials. The security breach now threatens Amazon's $10 billion Project JEDI contract with the Department of Defense as competitors like Microsoft highlight the potential national security risks.

In New York, a $2.8 billion tax deficit is being blamed on the Trump administration's SALT deduction caps, which effectively function as a tax on wealthy residents in high-tax states. Meanwhile, Stacey Abrams joined the Council on Foreign Relations following her State of the Union response, signaling anointment by the political establishment. In the media sector, mainstream giants like NBCUniversal and Verizon are writing off massive investments in BuzzFeed and Vice as digital advertising models fail and viewership fraud via traffic assignment is exposed. Further abroad, Venezuelan authorities seized 19 assault weapons from a Miami-based plane as U.S. envoy Elliott Abrams maintains a hardline stance against the Maduro government.

This episode marks the numerological milestone of 1111 with a formal knighting ceremony for producers from Tajikistan to South Africa. The hosts analyze the distinctive, mechanical laughter of Jeff Bezos and the rise of the European Solidarity Corps in subsidizing youth climate protests. A special look at the Dutch tradition of Carnival and the "Holy Gift" Fibonacci sequence in Tool's Lateralus rounds out the global report.

### 31. Jill Abramson Book Controversy, Footnote Errors (1:56:49–2:02:04)

Former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson addressed allegations of plagiarism in her book *Merchants of Truth* during interviews on Fox News and NPR. While she initially denied the claims, she later conceded that some passages regarding Vice News were "too close for comfort" and lacked proper citations. Abramson attributed the errors to faulty footnoting and promised to correct the text in future editions.

### 32. Ghostwriting, Dictionary Copyrights and Glossary Licenses (2:02:05–2:06:15)

A discussion on the mechanics of the publishing industry suggests that high-profile authors often use ghostwriters who may inadvertently plagiarize material. An interesting legal detail is revealed: dictionaries are copyrighted, meaning new word definitions must be rewritten to avoid infringement. The segment explains that minor plagiarism claims are often settled quietly through small licensing fees paid by agents or publishers.

### 33. Public Domain Definitions, Media Resentment (2:06:17–2:10:47)

The hosts explain that while modern dictionaries are protected by copyright, older editions like a 100-year-old Oxford English Dictionary are in the public domain and can be used freely. The Jill Abramson controversy is framed as a case of media peers "hounding" her due to personal resentment rather than a major ethical breach. The analysis posits that the internet itself is a "copy machine" built on technical copyright violations.

### 34. 21 Savage Arrest, ICE and Rap Lyrics (2:10:47–2:17:31)

Rapper 21 Savage, born Sheyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, was arrested by ICE in Atlanta for overstaying a UK visa from 2005. The arrest followed his televised criticism of the Trump administration's immigration policies. While his legal team, bolstered by Jay-Z, argues for his release based on community ties, the segment contrasts his public image with violent themes found in his song lyrics.

### 35. Green New Deal Resolution, FAQ Confusion (2:17:32–2:22:24)

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ed Markey introduced the Green New Deal as a non-binding resolution rather than a bill. Confusion arose after an "FAQ" document was released and then retracted, which contained controversial points about "farting cows" and economic security for those "unwilling to work." The segment argues that the actual resolution is a vague "hippy-dippy" document that the media and politicians are using for positioning.

### 36. Climate Justice, Racial Wealth Gap and Inequity (2:22:24–2:28:11)

The Green New Deal is analyzed as a vehicle for social and racial justice rather than just environmental policy. Senator Ed Markey is heard linking climate change to wealth inequality and the "pollution of democracy" by big oil. The hosts argue that the political establishment is attempting to create an undeniable link between global warming and social inequity to mobilize voters.

### 37. Climate Science Walking Back, 2030 Deadline (2:28:12–2:32:21)

The segment posits that climate scientists are beginning to "walk back" extreme predictions as the 2030 deadline for "catastrophe" approaches. The hosts trace the history of the movement from 1970s global cooling to Al Gore's carbon exchange initiatives. They argue that the current rhetoric is being "abused" by political groups like the Justice Democrats to implement radical economic shifts.

### 38. Alec Baldwin Interview, Kate Marvel and Solar Output (2:32:22–2:36:00)

NASA scientist Kate Marvel appeared on Alec Baldwin's podcast, claiming that humans are responsible for "over 100%" of current global warming. She argued that without human intervention, the Earth would be cooling due to a slight decrease in the Sun's output. The hosts criticize the "arrogance" of the scientific community and the complexity of the data models used to attribute warming to human activity.

### 39. Chemtrails, Climate Hubris and Volcanic Simulations (2:36:00–2:39:30)

During the Baldwin interview, the topic of "dimming the sun" via atmospheric spraying (geoengineering) was discussed. Scientist Kate Marvel expressed concern over the "hubris" of humans attempting to control the climate. She described her work with NASA climate models, which include simulations of hypothetical events like a volcano erupting in London to test atmospheric responses.

### 40. Nuclear Power Debate, Carbon Pricing and Waste (2:39:30–2:45:07)

The discussion on Alec Baldwin's podcast turned to nuclear energy as a zero-emission solution. Scientists expressed agnosticism toward nuclear power, citing the energy-intensive process of uranium enrichment and the long-term problem of nuclear waste storage at sites like Yucca Mountain. The segment notes that no new reactors have been built in decades primarily due to cost-effectiveness rather than environmental opposition.

### 41. Human Extinction Claims, Y2K Comparison (2:45:07–2:48:52)

Kate Marvel clarified that while climate change is a threat to "human happiness and civilization," it is likely not an immediate threat to human existence. The hosts compare the current climate alarmism to the Y2K scare, noting that sincere believers often become defensive when their dire predictions fail to materialize. They suggest the "fourth warmest year" data is being used as an excuse to begin backing off previous claims.

### 42. Georgetown Texas Green Energy Failure, Winter Weather (2:48:53–2:51:26)

The city of Georgetown, Texas, which was praised by Al Gore for going 100% renewable, reportedly lost nearly $30 million due to its reliance on wind power. Residents saw significant increases in their utility bills as a result. The segment also notes extreme winter weather across the U.S., including heavy snow in Port Angeles, Washington, contrasting local conditions with global warming narratives.

### 43. European Solidarity Corps, Youth Climate Protests (2:51:28–2:54:59)

The "Youth in Action" group, which promotes climate protests among Dutch and Belgian students, is revealed to be fully subsidized by the European Union. The organization is part of the "European Solidarity Corps," a mobility scheme with a 340 million euro budget. The hosts argue that the EU is using these programs to "brainwash" children and build public support for new carbon taxes.
