# Nyet Bluffski > Global institutions claim control over search algorithms while the threat of tactical nuclear weapons looms over the Russian retreat from the strategic hub of Liman. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 1491 - **Published:** 2022-10-02 - **Length:** 3h 5m - **Topics:** UN Science Ownership, Liman Retreat, [Hurricane Ian](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/hurricane-ian.md), Tesla Optimus, [October Surprise](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/october-surprise.md), Goya Foods, Citgo 6 - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1491-nyet-bluffski ## About this episode United Nations Under-Secretary-General Melissa Fleming sparked controversy this week after claiming the organization partnered with Google to manipulate search results, stating "we own the science" regarding climate change. This revelation coincides with World Economic Forum reports framing COVID-19 restrictions as a successful test of social responsibility. Meanwhile, the retreat of Russian forces from the strategic town of Liman has prompted Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov to publicly advocate for the use of low-yield tactical nuclear weapons. In the aftermath of Hurricane Ian, Vice President Kamala Harris faced backlash for suggesting disaster relief resources be distributed based on equity, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis managed recovery efforts amidst a media firestorm. The podcasting industry faces a sharp correction as Spotify and Gimlet cut staff, contrasting with the lean value-for-value model. Additional reports cover the United States and Venezuela prisoner swap involving the Citgo 6, the sudden surge in turkey prices due to avian flu, and Dr. Peter McCullough’s allegations of a coordinated government operation behind SARS-CoV-2 origins. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak break down the technical failures of Skype during recent media appearances with Glenn Beck and Alex Jones. The duo examines the stiff debut of the Tesla Optimus robot and the bizarre lack of a permanent memorial on the fifth anniversary of the Las Vegas shooting. David Drake is formally knighted as the Duke of Dave, Slayer of Suffering, as the show prepares for a potential October Surprise. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
