## About this episode

President Barack Obama has declared a national emergency regarding the H1N1 swine flu, granting Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius the power to bypass federal regulations and establish off-site hospital triage tents. The administration is aggressively marketing the vaccine to children through the Department of Health and Human Services and the animated program Sid the Science Kid. This medical push coincides with IRS Form 720 revealing a 75-cent excise tax per dose, potentially generating $75 million in federal revenue from the initial production run.

In financial oversight, Florida Congressman Alan Grayson questioned Federal Reserve counsel regarding gold audits and market manipulation, revealing that JP Morgan Chase executes trades for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Meanwhile, FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair issued a public video message to calm depositors as US bank failures surpassed 100 for the year. International shifts continue as Asian leaders in Thailand pledge to form an EU-style community by 2015, a move critics link to the Trilateral Commission's goals for global governance. British author James Delingpole warns that the United Kingdom’s intrusive surveillance and carbon policies serve as a beta test for the American future.

Photographer Annie Leibovitz faces criticism for the technical execution of the official Obama family portrait, which lacks traditional flags and formal lighting. The program also examines reports from Sweden regarding vaccine-related deaths and the curious timing of the LCROSS moon mission. Executive Producer Sterling Ellsworth is recognized for his continued support of the show's independent analysis.

### 4. National Emergency Declaration, Swine Flu H1N1 Response (12:28–15:43)

President Obama's declaration of a national emergency regarding the swine flu is examined in the context of hospital triage and federal funding. The hosts compare the declaration to the one signed before Hurricane Katrina, noting it allows Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to bypass certain regulations for treating patients in off-site tents. Skepticism is expressed regarding the reported "widespread" nature of the flu compared to seasonal flu death statistics.

CNET editor Molly Wood is criticized for her public stance on vaccinating her son and her reliance on FactCheck.org. The hosts characterize her blog post as an example of successful government mind control. They specifically mock her decision to wait for her own shot until high-risk groups like pregnant mothers have received theirs.

### 6. IRS Form 720, Vaccine Excise Tax (18:09–20:31)

IRS Form 720 reveals a 75-cent excise tax per dose on various vaccines, including those for diphtheria, measles, and HPV. The hosts calculate that a 100-million-dose production of the H1N1 vaccine generates approximately $75 million in tax revenue. They describe the pharmaceutical industry and government as being in a "scam" to push vaccine agendas while collecting taxes on combined doses like the MMR vaccine.

A broad discussion on the cumulative tax burden in the United States covers sales tax, state income tax, and specific levies on air travel. One host recounts paying a 9.5% state tax plus a 2.5% "tourist tax" at a San Francisco restaurant despite being a local resident. They argue that total taxation likely exceeds 70% when accounting for excise taxes on fuel, hotels, and communications.

### 8. Sid the Science Kid, White House Vaccine Promotion (25:04–29:38)

The Department of Health and Human Services and Secretary Kathleen Sebelius are using an animated episode of "Sid the Science Kid" to promote H1N1 vaccinations to children. The hosts play a song from the White House website that encourages kids to "get the shot" even if it hurts. They express concern over the aggressive marketing of vaccines as the primary future revenue stream for big pharmaceutical companies.

### 9. Squalene Adjuvants, Reported Vaccine Deaths in Sweden (29:40–36:20)

Discrepancies on the flu.gov website regarding the use of squalene adjuvants in H1N1 vaccines are highlighted. While the US government claims no adjuvants are "currently" used, the hosts suggest they are being phased in. Reports from Sweden are cited, alleging that several people have died or become seriously ill shortly after receiving the swine flu vaccination, though the hosts admit the machine translations of Swedish news are crude.

### 10. Bank Holidays, Germs on Paper Money (36:22–38:36)

A theory is proposed that the swine flu could be used as a pretext to declare a bank holiday and transition the economy away from paper currency. The hosts suggest that labeling cash as a "petri dish" for germs would allow the government to force a move to RFID-chipped plastic cards and digital transactions. This shift would make the monetary base more manipulable by central authorities.

### 11. Annie Leibovitz, Obama Family State Portrait Critique (38:36–40:48)

The official state portrait of the Obama family, taken by photographer Annie Leibovitz, is criticized for its poor composition and lighting. The hosts express disappointment that a high-profile photographer used a Canon EOS 1 instead of a high-end Hasselblad for such a significant image. They describe the background, featuring open doors and a lack of flags, as looking like a "green room" rather than a formal setting.

Florida Congressman Alan Grayson is seen grilling the head counsel for the Federal Reserve regarding the audit of gold reserves and potential stock market manipulation.

### 13. Trilateral Commission, Formation of the Asian Union (43:58–45:55)

Asian leaders at a summit in Thailand have pledged to move toward an EU-style community by 2015, fulfilling a goal often attributed to the Trilateral Commission. The hosts discuss the eventual merging of the European Union, the North American Union, and this new Asian Union into a single global government. They predict that such unions will eventually lead to civil wars due to historical cultural animosities, such as those between the French and Germans.

### 14. James Delingpole, Welcome to Obamaland Interview (45:56–53:13)

British author James Delingpole appears on Glenn Beck's program to discuss his book, "Welcome to Obama-land," which argues that the UK's experience under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown is a preview of America's future. Delingpole describes the UK as a "beta test" for socialism and fascism, citing intrusive "pedophile czar" background checks for parents and spy devices in trash bins. He warns that the Cap and Trade bill is the most dangerous legislation facing the United States.

### 15. Alex Jones Documentary, Fall of the Republic Review (53:14–56:22)

The new Alex Jones documentary, "Fall of the Republic," is reviewed for its use of C-SPAN footage to highlight contradictions in President Obama's policies regarding transparency and signing statements. While the hosts find the two-and-a-half-hour runtime excessive, they agree with the film's focus on climate change as a tool for global enslavement. They note a Pew study showing a significant drop in the number of Americans who believe in global warming.

A report from examiner.com suggests that the Obama administration is preparing for an imminent announcement regarding extraterrestrial life.

### 19. Afghanistan Poppy Fields, US Marine Compensation (1:08:19–1:10:36)

High-resolution photos from the Boston Globe show US military supplies being dropped into Afghan poppy fields, with Marines promising to compensate farmers for damaged crops. The hosts argue this proves the US military is in Afghanistan to protect the opium harvest rather than eradicate it. They highlight the irony of the military paying for the destruction of an "illicit" crop they are supposedly fighting.

### 20. Afghan Cannabis Production, Medical Marijuana Policy Shift (1:10:36–1:14:03)

A government report indicates a massive increase in cannabis and hashish production in Afghanistan, alongside the destruction of 450 tons of poppy seeds. The hosts point out that poppy seeds are a food source and their destruction exacerbates local starvation. They link the rise in Afghan weed production to the US Department of Justice's recent decision to relax enforcement of federal laws against medical marijuana in California.

FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair released a video message to reassure the public as the number of US bank failures in 2009 surpassed 100.

They question the math behind her claim that $100 billion in reserves and a line of credit with the Treasury can fully protect all insured deposits in the country.

A commercial for the asthma medication Advair is used to illustrate modern marketing techniques that employ a diverse "United Colors of Benetton" cast to create a sense of universal consensus. The hosts discuss the heavy legal disclaimers required for drug ads and the psychological impact of these "vocal jump cuts." They suggest the No Agenda show needs its own viral marketing mantra to counter mainstream media messaging.

### 24. Ron Bloom, Manufacturing Czar Capitalism Critique (1:28:09–1:31:03)

A controversial clip of Manufacturing Czar Ron Bloom is played, in which he suggests the free market is "nonsense" and quotes Mao Zedong regarding political power coming from the barrel of a gun. The hosts debate the context of the clip, noting it is often used by critics to paint Bloom as an anti-capitalist. They use the segment to transition into a plea for show donations to maintain their own independence from such political systems.

### 25. Net Neutrality, FCC Internet Regulation Concerns (1:31:05–1:33:41)

The FCC's move toward net neutrality is characterized by the hosts as a "sham" that will ultimately allow ISPs to manage and block traffic under vague language. They cite personal examples of their websites being blocked by corporations and international ISPs like Vodafone. They criticize the public for being distracted by trivial news like "Balloon Boy" while significant internet regulations are being enacted.

The episode concludes with a final mention of the "Balloon Boy" distraction and a sign-off from "Gitmo Nation West."
