# Thank You Satan? > A bizarre intersection of satanic backmasking theories, celebrity award show feuds, and laboratory-acquired plague deaths reveals the calculated nature of modern media diversions. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 132 - **Published:** 2009-09-20 - **Length:** 1h 28m - **Topics:** [Backmasking](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/backmasking.md), Chikungunya, [Eminent Domain](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/eminent-domain.md), Gold Teeth, [Monsanto](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/monsanto.md), NPR Layoffs, Operation Northwoods - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/132-thank-you-satan ## About this episode A viral audio clip claiming that Barack Obama’s "Yes We Can" slogan contains the backmasked phrase "Thank you Satan" leads a deep dive into media manipulation. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze the phonetic coincidence alongside a suspicious recorded leak where the President called Kanye West a "jackass" following the Taylor Swift VMA incident. The hosts suggest these celebrity diversions are timed to mask the G20 summit and the U.S. withdrawal from missile shields in Poland. Secondary reports focus on the death of University of Chicago researcher Malcolm Casadabin from a laboratory-acquired plague strain and the rise of the fatal Chikungunya virus. The investigation into Najibullah Zazi in Denver is scrutinized for its proximity to new CIA operational hubs, while seven former CIA directors, including George Tenet and Michael Hayden, lobby the Obama administration to halt interrogation probes. Corporate conflicts of interest are highlighted through GE’s promotion of cap-and-trade legislation on NBC and the legal warfare between Monsanto and DuPont over herbicide-resistant weeds. Adam Curry shares a registered letter from the TGPA regarding the eminent domain seizure of his San Francisco loft, a move threatening pre-Civil War era architecture. The episode features a listener donation of six actual gold teeth, prompting a discussion on the IMF selling 403 metric tons of gold. John C. Dvorak mocks the absurdity of the art world after Damien Hirst had a teenager arrested for stealing pencils valued at £250,000. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Warren Sapp Criticizes Kanye West, Inside the NFL Commentary (1:30–3:52) Warren Sapp, a commentator for Inside the NFL on HBO, criticized Kanye West for his behavior toward Taylor Swift at an awards show. Sapp expressed a protective stance over Swift, suggesting he would have physically intervened if she were his daughter. The hosts analyze the clip as an example of non-football content infiltrating sports media.

Taylor Swift and Kanye West, Alleged Publicity Scam (3:52–6:21) A theory suggests that the conflict between Taylor Swift and Kanye West was a coordinated publicity stunt orchestrated by their shared agent at the William Morris Agency. The discussion explores claims that West may be a subject of MKUltra mind control based on his physical mannerisms during apologies. Concerns are raised regarding President Barack Obama's susceptibility to such low-level media diversions.

NBC Media Connections, Taylor Swift and G20 Diversions (6:21–9:05) The media coverage of Taylor Swift on NBC and Dateline is linked to her father's position as a hedge fund manager and connections to GE. The hosts argue that the celebrity drama serves as a diversion from significant geopolitical events, such as the upcoming G20 summit and the U.S. withdrawal from the missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic.

Barack Obama Jackass Comment, Media Pool Recording (9:05–11:57) President Barack Obama was recorded calling Kanye West a "jackass" during what was intended to be an off-the-record moment with the media pool. The hosts analyze the tone of the recording and suggest the President may have intentionally allowed the comment to leak as a distraction. The segment also references Obama's previous media moment involving a fly and PETA.

Obama Backmasking, Yes We Can Satanic Theory (11:58–15:51) A viral audio clip claims that playing Barack Obama's "Yes We Can" slogan in reverse reveals the phrase "Thank you Satan." The hosts experiment with the audio and discuss the nature of backmasking and the high entertainment value of such conspiracy theories. They conclude that while humorous, the phonetic connection is likely a result of creative editing by people with too much free time.

San Francisco Eminent Domain, TGPA Registered Letter (15:51–18:25) The host receives a registered letter from the TGPA regarding the eminent domain seizure of his San Francisco loft. A neighbor, John Collins, confirms that businesses in the area have been given a move-out date of December 31. The discussion questions the role of the San Francisco Historical Society in allowing the demolition of pre-Civil War era brick buildings.

Gold Teeth Donation, IMF Gold Sales and Market Prices (18:25–21:38) A listener sent six golden teeth to the show as a donation, prompting a discussion on the intrinsic value of gold. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently approved the sale of 403 metric tons of gold reserves to raise $13 billion for lending. With gold prices hovering around $1,017 per ounce, the hosts predict the market could reach $2,000 as the U.S. dollar weakens.

Glenn Beck Success, Time Magazine Cover Controversy (21:39–24:07) Glenn Beck has achieved significant ratings success and recently appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, though the photo was criticized for being intentionally unflattering. His radio show has evolved into a "political zoo" format that competes with established hosts like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. The hosts express annoyance at the success of mainstream media figures who they believe distribute disinformation.

Media Misrepresentation, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity Fact-Check (24:09–27:24) The hosts critique Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity for misrepresenting news stories to fit political narratives. Examples include Beck's distorted history of a 1942 wheat farmer and Hannity's 15-minute rant about Michelle Obama visiting a farmers market. They argue that the pressure to fill three hours of daily airtime leads to the fabrication of outrage over staged publicity events.

Acorn Tapes, Generational Media Consumption Gaps (27:24–28:59) A discussion regarding the Acorn undercover tapes reveals a significant gap in news awareness between different demographics. While the story was a major focus for right-wing media, many young people under 30 in professional offices were completely unaware of it. The hosts note that younger generations are increasingly disconnected from traditional television news and newspapers.

Malcolm Casadabin, University of Chicago Plague Death (29:00–31:29) Professor Malcolm Casadabin, a molecular genetics researcher at the University of Chicago, died after being exposed to the plague bacteria he was studying. Authorities immediately took down his research website, which the hosts find suspicious. Although the strain was reportedly non-virulent, the sudden death has raised concerns about laboratory safety and the nature of the research.

Chikungunya Virus, US National Research Council Warning (31:30–33:58) The Chikungunya virus, a mosquito-borne illness from Africa, is identified as a new health threat to the United States and Europe. Unlike the West Nile virus, Chikungunya is often fatal and currently has no vaccine. Dr. James Diaz warned the National Research Council that the disease has already begun spreading locally in Italy and France.

H1N1 Swine Flu, CBS News Dramatization Analysis (33:59–38:43) The hosts deconstruct a CBS News segment by Mark Strassman regarding two children hospitalized with H1N1 in Oklahoma City. They criticize the news production for using dramatic editing, enhanced sound effects of breathing machines, and emotional manipulation. The segment is characterized as a "packaged story" designed to create fear rather than provide local news value.

Medical Mystery, H1N1 Complications and Pre-existing Conditions (38:43–43:28) A CBS report on two H1N1 patients, Tony and Leticia, is criticized for framing their different recovery rates as a "mystery." The hosts point out that Leticia's complications are likely due to her pre-existing conditions of asthma and obesity rather than the virus itself. They argue that the media ignores medical facts to maintain a narrative of an unpredictable "mystery virus."

FluMist Vaccine, Zycam Ban and Seasonal Flu (43:28–47:29) The emergence of FluMist, a nasal spray vaccine, is discussed in the context of the FDA's recent ban on Zycam. The hosts suggest that Zycam was removed from the market to eliminate competition for the new nasal vaccine delivery method. They also question why the seasonal flu vaccine was released unusually early in September this year.

CIA vs Obama Administration, Seven Former Chiefs Protest (47:29–50:38) Seven former CIA directors, including George Tenet and Michael Hayden, have urged President Obama to stop Attorney General Eric Holder's investigation into CIA interrogation tactics. The hosts discuss the power struggle between the administration and the intelligence community. Additionally, reports indicate the CIA is significantly expanding its presence in Afghanistan.

Najibullah Zazi Investigation, Denver Al-Qaeda Links (50:39–53:06) Najibullah Zazi, an Afghan native and airport shuttle driver from Denver, is under investigation for alleged links to Al-Qaeda after a raid in Queens. The hosts find it suspicious that Zazi remains free despite the serious allegations. They note the coincidence of the CIA recently moving major operations to Denver, where Zazi was based.

Operation Northwoods, False Flag Concerns and Racism (53:07–55:55) The discussion turns to Operation Northwoods, a proposed 1960s false flag operation, as a historical precedent for modern government deception. The hosts express concern that racial tensions, fueled by media figures like Bill Maher, could be used to frame a future false flag event. They argue that the public is being "dumbed down" to prevent critical analysis of such social engineering.

NBC and GE, Cap and Trade Conflict of Interest (55:55–58:09) General Electric (GE), the parent company of NBC, is accused of using its news outlets to promote "cap and trade" legislation that would financially benefit the corporation. The hosts discuss reports that GE leadership encouraged employees to support specific politicians to advance these business interests. This is presented as a fundamental conflict of interest for MSNBC and NBC News.

Obama Backmasking Re-evaluation, Ray the Radio Guy (58:11–1:00:40) The hosts revisit the Obama "Yes We Can" backmasking clip with a new version provided by a listener named Ray. While the new clip attempts to replicate the "Thank you Satan" effect, the hosts find it less convincing than the original viral version. They joke about the President needing to practice his speeches specifically to ensure the reverse audio sounds correct.

San Francisco Airport, Climate Passport Kiosk Waste (1:00:41–1:02:05) San Francisco International Airport (SFO) spent $190,000 on "Climate Passport" kiosks located in Terminal 3 and the International Terminal. These kiosks allow travelers to calculate their flight's carbon footprint and purchase offsets. The hosts criticize the project as a waste of taxpayer money, noting that the credits are sold at a massive markup compared to market rates.

Monsanto vs DuPont, BASF Kicksor Herbicide Approval (1:02:05–1:05:17) Monsanto and DuPont are engaged in a public legal and ethical battle over business practices and chemical labeling. Meanwhile, the EPA has approved BASF's new "Kicksor" herbicide, designed to kill weeds that have developed resistance to Monsanto's Roundup. The hosts highlight the ongoing cycle of chemical dependency in industrial agriculture as nature adapts to existing toxins.

The Informant Movie, Archer Daniels Midland Price Fixing (1:05:18–1:06:58) The release of the film "The Informant," starring Matt Damon, brings the true story of whistleblower Mark Whitaker and Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) to the public. The hosts discuss how ADM engaged in massive price-fixing schemes while maintaining a wholesome image through PBS sponsorships. They note that while Whitaker served prison time, many corporate executives faced minimal consequences.

NPR Corporate Underwriting, Advertising in Public Radio (1:06:58–1:09:07) Vivian Schiller, CEO of NPR, admitted in a press meeting that corporate underwriting is essentially advertising by another name. While sponsorship revenue has declined due to the recession, Schiller noted that individual donations remain stable. The hosts argue that NPR's reliance on large corporate sponsors contradicts its image as a purely listener-supported public service.

NPR Headquarters, Layoffs and Real Estate Controversy (1:09:08–1:13:58) NPR faced criticism at the National Press Club for laying off 60 workers while simultaneously planning a move to expensive new headquarters. CEO Vivian Schiller defended the move, claiming the organization sold its previous building at the top of the market. The hosts mock the "elitist" nature of public radio leadership and Kathy Griffin's public defense of the institution.

No Agenda Business Model, Dan Brown and The Lost Symbol (1:13:57–1:17:46) The hosts discuss the "Value-for-Value" business model of No Agenda, contrasting it with corporate-sponsored media. The conversation shifts to Dan Brown's new book, "The Lost Symbol," and its themes of Masonic symbolism in Washington D.C. They speculate that Brown may be a "plant" used to discredit real conspiracies by wrapping them in popular fiction.

Damien Hirst Pencil Theft, Art World Absurdity (1:17:46–1:19:07) Artist Damien Hirst reportedly had a teenager arrested for stealing a box of pencils from one of his art installations. Hirst claimed the pencils were worth £250,000 because they were part of his exhibit. The hosts use this story to illustrate the perceived absurdity and inflated valuations within the modern art world.

Donation Segment, Listener Credits and Code Numbers (1:19:07–1:23:48) The hosts read donations from listeners across the globe, including Denmark, Canada, and Australia. They discuss various "code" numbers sent with donations, such as 6550, which may refer to a congressional water act. A tangent explores the history of the original Cassius Clay and a potential link to Muhammad Ali's name choice.

Movie Outing, Jennifer's Body and Show Outro (1:23:48–1:27:32) Adam Curry recounts a trip to see the movie "Jennifer's Body" with his daughter, noting the high cost of tickets and concessions.
