While official narratives attribute the breakthrough fatality to Powell’s multiple myeloma and immunosuppressant use, former CDC Director Robert Redfield reports that 40% of recent COVID deaths in Maryland occurred among the fully vaccinated. This discrepancy coincides with a massive Pfizer sponsorship supercut revealing the pharmaceutical industry’s deep financial grip on major television news networks. Global resistance to mandates intensifies as dock workers in Trieste and police unions in Seattle and Chicago launch significant walkouts. In the corporate sphere, Netflix faces internal turmoil as employees like B Pagels-Minor organize protests against Dave Chappelle’s comedy special, while DC Comics rebrands Superman’s motto to remove references to the American Way. Meanwhile, the CIA continues to investigate Havana Syndrome, with Director William Burns and Dr. David Relman pointing toward pulsed microwave radiation as the likely cause of debilitating brain injuries among intelligence officers in Moscow. Adam Curry introduces Phoebe, a 78-pound rescue dog continuing a long-standing family naming tradition, while the show marks its 14th anniversary of news deconstruction. Listeners from the Bastrop County meetup and the No Agenda Social Mastodon instance report on the growing Gitmo Nation community. The segment concludes with a look at the secret color-coding system on grocery store bread bags and the strange shortage of blue pigment affecting global paint manufacturing. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
