# Wronk > Geopolitical shifts accelerate as the United States deploys controversial munitions to Ukraine while the Dutch government collapses and whistleblowers target the Biden family. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 1571 - **Published:** 2023-07-09 - **Length:** 2h 55m - **Topics:** [Cluster Munitions](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/cluster-munitions.md), [Mark Rutte](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/mark-rutte.md), Gal Luft, [Sound of Freedom](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/sound-of-freedom.md), NAFO, [PFAS](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/pfas.md), [RFK Jr](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/rfk-jr.md) - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1571-wronk ## About this episode The Biden administration announced the deployment of cluster munitions to Ukraine, citing a critical shortage of 155mm artillery rounds. Despite a global ban by over 100 nations due to civilian risk, U.S. officials claim American bomblets maintain a superior 2.5% dud rate compared to Russian alternatives. This escalation coincides with leaked 2014 recordings of Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt, which reveal deep-seated American involvement in orchestrating the Ukrainian government transition. European political stability faces further strain as Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte resigned following a coalition collapse over asylum policy and family reunification limits. In France, a 2010 diplomatic cable from Ambassador Charles Rivkin suggests a long-term U.S. strategy to influence French social fabric through minority outreach. Meanwhile, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas faces criticism for her public endorsement of the NAFO meme movement, and Dr. Gal Luft has come forward with allegations of Biden family corruption involving CEFC China Energy and a DOJ mole. Cultural shifts take center stage as Rikkie Valerie Kollé becomes the first transgender Miss Netherlands, while the film Sound of Freedom faces media labels of QAnon-adjacent despite its box office success. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently detailed his father’s view of Cold War duck-and-cover drills as psychological operations. The episode concludes with a knighting ceremony for Sir John of the Discount Dairy Section and Dame Mad Dog Goodwin under the Value for Value model. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Biden Administration, Ukraine Cluster Munition Deployment (0:00–16:27) The Biden administration announced the shipment of cluster munitions to Ukraine, citing a shortage of standard 155mm unitary artillery rounds. Officials claim the American weapons have a significantly lower dud rate—between 1% and 2.5%—compared to Russian munitions, which reportedly fail at rates of 30% to 40%. Critics highlight that these weapons are banned by over 100 countries due to the long-term risk unexploded bomblets pose to civilian populations.

Victoria Nuland, 2014 Ukraine Regime Change Recording (16:28–28:56) A leaked 2014 phone conversation between Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt reveals U.S. involvement in orchestrating the Ukrainian government transition. Nuland famously used an expletive regarding the European Union while discussing which political figures, such as Arseniy Yatsenyuk and Vitali Klitschko, should be placed in power. The recording suggests a strategy to use the United Nations to "glue" the deal together while bypassing EU interests.

Shahid King Bolson, Poland Geopolitical Destabilization Theory (28:57–39:50) Analyst Shahid King Bolson posits that the United States is using Poland as a hub for a continent-wide destabilization project in Europe, drawing parallels to 1980s operations in Central America. The theory suggests that Mark Brzezinski, the current U.S. Ambassador to Poland, is executing a plan to shift European power eastward while weakening Germany and the EU. This strategy allegedly relies on maintaining a perceived Russian threat to force European nations into policies that may lead to their eventual disintegration.

Mark Rutte, Dutch Government Collapse Over Immigration (39:51–45:22) Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and his four-party coalition government resigned following irreconcilable differences over asylum policy.

The cabinet will remain in a caretaker capacity until new elections are held in November 2023.

The memo suggests manipulating French egalitarian ideals to increase political representation for minority populations, which critics interpret as a deliberate effort to destabilize the country's traditional social fabric.

Kaja Kallas, NAFO "Fellas" and Information Warfare (49:27–54:36) Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas appeared in a video for the North Atlantic Fella Organization (NAFO) summit in Vilnius, praising the group for fighting Russian disinformation. NAFO is an online movement characterized by Shiba Inu "doge" avatars that uses humor and memes to counter Russian propaganda. The appearance of a high-ranking head of state supporting an internet meme-based organization drew criticism for being unprofessional.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, Wagner Group Mutiny Analysis (58:48–1:11:49) Media analysis of the recent Wagner Group actions in Russia suggests the event was a mutiny rather than a formal coup attempt. Experts argue that Yevgeny Prigozhin sought to achieve specific political objectives and protect his military assets rather than overthrowing Vladimir Putin's government. Some commentators speculate that the event was part of a broader narrative creation effort involving intelligence agencies to test the stability of the Russian state.

Sound of Freedom, Child Trafficking Film and QAnon Controversy (1:11:50–1:25:15) The film "Sound of Freedom," starring Jim Caviezel and based on the life of anti-trafficking activist Tim Ballard, has become a box office success while facing intense media scrutiny. Outlets like Rolling Stone and CNN have labeled the movie a "QAnon-adjacent" thriller, citing Caviezel's public comments regarding "adrenochrome" and child blood harvesting. Supporters of the film argue that the media is attempting to discredit a legitimate expose on the global child sex trafficking industry.

Kennedy, viewed the drills as a psychological operation designed to make the American public accept the possibility of nuclear war rather than a legitimate safety measure.

PFAS "Forever Chemicals", Water Contamination and Remediation Technology (2:18:00–2:23:40) A U.S. Geological Survey study found that nearly half of U.S. tap water contains PFAS, or "forever chemicals," which are linked to cancer and other health issues. New technology from the research institute Battelle, dubbed the "PFAS Annihilator," claims to destroy these chemicals using heat and pressure. The hosts also discuss personal water filtration preferences, noting the effectiveness of systems like Clearly Filtered.

French Surveillance Law, Remote Device Activation (2:23:40–2:26:40) The French Senate passed a law allowing police to remotely activate the cameras, microphones, and GPS systems on the phones of suspected criminals.

The hosts suggest that tech companies and social media apps may be facilitating this access through existing app permissions.

Climate Change, Record Temperatures and Flight Turbulence Claims (2:26:41–2:32:34) Mainstream media outlets reported that Earth recently experienced its hottest days on record based on data from the University of Maine's Climate Reanalyzer. Additionally, several reports claimed that climate change is causing increased flight turbulence. The hosts argue that perceived increases in turbulence are actually due to new AI-driven "continuous descent" landing patterns designed to save fuel, which bypass smoother altitude levels.

NPR "On The Media", Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Hit Piece (2:32:35–2:49:34) NPR's "On The Media" aired a segment criticizing the media's coverage of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., labeling his rhetoric as a "Gish Gallop" of misinformation. The program advised journalists to use "real-time pushback" and "contextualization" to prevent Kennedy's ideas from reaching a wider audience. The hosts deconstruct the NPR segment, arguing that it serves as a guide for institutional censorship rather than objective journalism.
