# Red Book Special > A deep dive into the vault of predictions reveals the intersection of supercomputing, green energy scandals, and the geopolitical maneuvering behind the New Silk Road. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 1648 - **Published:** 2024-04-04 - **Length:** 2h 26m - **Topics:** [IBM Watson](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/ibm-watson.md), Solyndra scandal, [Nigel Farage](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/nigel-farage.md), Balochistan pipelines, [Red Book](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/red-book.md), 5G health, [Moon bases](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/moon-bases.md) - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1648-red-book-special ## About this episode The IBM Watson supercomputer is transitioning from Jeopardy champion to an authoritative voice in climate research and medical diagnosis through new contracts with WellPoint and Columbia University. This shift positions the AI as a tool for declaring climate science settled while simultaneously hijacking natural language processing for patient care. Meanwhile, the Obama administration faces scrutiny over Solyndra and Lightsquared, with allegations that hundreds of billions in green energy funds were diverted to venture capital associates. Nigel Farage warns of a total European economic collapse as Italian borrowing costs soar and the German Bundestag demands rescue fund votes. In the United States, federal mandates for vehicle black boxes are set to begin in 2015, enabling municipalities like San Francisco to automate ticket revenue through driving habit monitoring. International tensions rise as Hillary Clinton links the New Silk Road initiative to the TAPI pipeline in Balochistan, where the Pakistani army is accused of using American weaponry to disappear 15,000 nationalist dissidents. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak reflect on the legacy of the physical Red Books, originally trade show premiums from Memjet used to log these forecasts. The duo predicts a rise in jar-based moonshine trends and the eventual election of a Jesuit Pope from South America to facilitate global wealth redistribution. Dvorak also details his departure from PC Magazine following a controversial column regarding the potential medical risks associated with 5G frequencies. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Mental Health Records and James Holmes Case (2:19:30–2:21:58) The hosts argue that "common sense" gun legislation is actually a move to control citizens through mental health records. They use the James Holmes Aurora theater shooting case to illustrate how psychiatric warnings and medications are being used to justify increased state surveillance.
