# Zug Haiti Connection? > A suspicious Chicago earthquake signals a rift between the White House and the CIA as global debt levels push the PIGS nations toward a total economic collapse. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 173 - **Published:** 2010-02-11 - **Length:** 1h 59m - **Topics:** Zug slush funds, PIGS debt, [Earthquake machine](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/earthquake-machine.md), Google NSA, Haiti relief, Operation Titstorm - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/173-zug-haiti-connection ## About this episode A 3.8 magnitude earthquake in Chicago serves as a strategic warning from the CIA to President Barack Obama following his public criticism of banker bonuses. This seismic event coincided with Bloomberg News altering a headline to soften the President's rhetoric against the financial sector, suggesting a coordinated effort between intelligence agencies and Goldman Sachs to protect Wall Street interests. The narrative explores the use of tectonic weaponry to influence White House policy and the subsequent media manipulation used to manage public perception of executive compensation. Economic instability deepens as the PIGS nations—Portugal, Ireland, Greece, and Spain—face massive debt levels that threaten the stability of the Euro and invite IMF intervention. MarketWatch columnist Paul B. Farrell warns of a global debt time bomb set to trigger total economic anarchy by 2013, while historical parallels to the 1857 depression suggest that current quantitative easing is merely delaying an inevitable collapse. Meanwhile, the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund faces scrutiny for its lack of transparency and alleged ties to Pincus Green and the tax haven of Zug, Switzerland, where slush funds are reportedly diverted through high-salaried executive positions. Technological overreach takes center stage as Google formalizes a partnership with the NSA and In-Q-Tel, while the TSA's naked body scanners are exposed as security theater after Heathrow staff allegedly printed a scan of Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan. The segment captures the absurdity of modern media with a critique of Simon Cowell’s Haiti charity single and the unrealistic forensic tropes in CSI: NY that poison jury pools. From the 13th floor of a San Francisco Marriott, the broadcast concludes with a look at the Australian internet censorship protests led by the hacker group Anonymous. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Chicago Earthquake, Obama Bonus Comments, and CIA Influence (0:01–2:56) A 3.8 magnitude earthquake in Chicago is characterized as a "shot over the bow" by the CIA directed at President Barack Obama. This seismic event allegedly coincided with a shift in Obama's rhetoric regarding banker bonuses in a Bloomberg Businessweek article. The discussion posits that the CIA, aligned with Goldman Sachs, used "earthquake machine" technology to influence White House messaging after Obama initially slammed financial sector compensation.

Bloomberg Headline Change, White House Pressure on Banker Rhetoric (2:56–5:39) Bloomberg News reportedly altered a headline from "Obama doesn't begrudge bonuses" to a more nuanced version following White House complaints. The original quote from President Obama defended wealth accumulation within the free market system while questioning the link between performance and pay. This shift is presented as evidence of media manipulation and state-controlled narratives via the Associated Press and other outlets.

Numerology, 13th Floor Superstitions, and Lucky Number Eight (9:08–11:32) A discussion on the absence of 13th floors in American hotels leads to an exploration of numerology and the perceived power of specific numbers. While 13 is often viewed as unlucky in Western culture, it is described here as a holy or powerful number in mystical traditions. The conversation also touches on the significance of the number eight in Chinese culture as a symbol of peace and prosperity.

Super Bowl XLIV Commercials, Tim Tebow, and Green Police (11:31–15:16) The 2010 Super Bowl commercials are reviewed, focusing on the controversial Tim Tebow advocacy ad sponsored by Focus on the Family. Critics' reactions to the ad's perceived violence are compared to other violent imagery in Doritos and Bud Light spots. The Audi "Green Police" commercial is highlighted for its humorous take on environmental enforcement and the future of eco-regulation.

Ben Bernanke, Indianapolis Colts Players, and Public Perception (15:17–17:08) CNBC footage shows Indianapolis Colts players, including Daniel Muir, failing to recognize Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. Upon seeing Bernanke's photo, Muir remarks that the chairman "looks like a crook" who is out to take people's possessions. This anecdote is used to illustrate the disconnect between high-level financial officials and the general public.

European Debt Crisis, PIGS Nations, and IMF Involvement (17:09–20:44) The economic instability of the "PIGS" nations—Portugal, Ireland, Greece, and Spain (and Italy)—is analyzed in the context of the Euro's decline. These countries face debt levels far exceeding the European Union's 3% GDP limit, leading to potential bailouts or IMF intervention. The United Kingdom's decision to opt out of the Euro is framed as a strategic move to avoid the "economic hitman" style takedown of sovereign wealth.

Global Debt Time Bomb, Paul B. Farrell, and 2013 Economic Collapse (20:45–23:19) MarketWatch columnist Paul B. Farrell warns investors of impending "economic anarchy" resulting from a global debt time bomb. The discussion suggests that the "Great Recession" of 2008-2009 is merely a precursor to a total collapse predicted for 2013. Recommendations for survival include investing in gold and weapons as the middle class faces a transition to food stamps.

Economic Cycles, 1857 Depression, and Quantitative Easing (23:20–27:45) Historical parallels are drawn between modern quantitative easing and the 1849 Gold Rush, which delayed an economic depression until 1857. The current strategy of flooding the market with cheap money is viewed as a temporary fix that may push a major collapse from 2013 to 2017. Political implications are discussed, specifically how a Republican victory in 2012 could lead to the party being blamed for the eventual crash.

Tea Party Hijacking, Sarah Palin, and Ron Paul's Warning (27:46–31:30) The Tea Party movement is described as being hijacked by neoconservative influences and figures like Sarah Palin. White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs is criticized for mocking Palin's use of "palm notes" during a speech. Congressman Ron Paul expresses concern on the Rachel Maddow show that the movement he helped start is being co-opted by the same establishment forces it originally opposed.

Pim Fortuyn Assassination, Dutch Politics, and Multiculturalism (31:32–33:30) The 2002 assassination of Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn is revisited as a cautionary tale of political suppression. Fortuyn, who campaigned against the "Islamification" of the Netherlands, was murdered weeks before an expected landslide victory. This event is compared to the modern hijacking of political movements, suggesting that co-opting a movement is a more "friendly" alternative to assassination.

C-SPAN Video Library, Google Super Bowl Ad, and French Sentiment (33:30–36:18) C-SPAN's new beta video library is praised for its searchable transcripts, though the effort required to monitor it is noted. A Google Super Bowl advertisement titled "Parisian Love" is discussed for its minimalist storytelling through search queries. One host expresses a "jingoistic" dislike for the ad's French setting, noting a lack of listeners and donors from France and India.

Google and Intelligence Agency Ties, NSA Partnership, and Sun Microsystems (36:18–39:47) Google is characterized as an "evil" entity with deep ties to the CIA's venture capital arm, In-Q-Tel, and a formal partnership with the NSA. CEO Eric Schmidt's background at Sun Microsystems is linked to the military's use of Solaris operating systems in advanced naval command centers. The segment warns that Google products like Chrome and the Nexus One are tools for state surveillance.

Regent University, Jean Bethke Elshtain, and America as "She" (39:47–43:47) A C-SPAN clip from Regent University features Professor Jean Bethke Elshtain discussing American culture and her "critical patriotism." The hosts take issue with her referring to the United States using feminine pronouns ("she"). This is interpreted as a potential "feminist argument" or a linguistic shift away from traditional terms like "the fatherland" or "the homeland."

Matriarchy Theories, Shiva Statue at CERN, and Large Hadron Collider (43:47–47:34) The discussion shifts to theories of ancient matriarchal rule and the modern re-emergence of female leadership. A statue of Shiva, the Hindu deity of destruction, located at the CERN facility in Switzerland, is cited as a bizarre symbolic choice for a scientific institution. The hosts express skepticism and concern regarding the $8 billion Large Hadron Collider project.

Donation Requests, Tax Refunds, and the Power of Three (47:34–51:04) The hosts solicit donations, suggesting listeners contribute a portion of their federal tax refund checks. The "Value-for-Value" model is emphasized, with a request for "cash" rather than physical goods. Mention is made of the "magic number three" and the spiritual significance of repeating numbers in donation amounts, such as $66.66.

Global Donor Roll Call, No Agenda Forums, and Job Economy (51:05–55:34) Donors from around the world, including the Czech Republic, Australia, and Belgium, are thanked for their contributions. The hosts discuss a proposal to create a "job section" on the No Agenda Forums to help listeners find employment within the community's sub-economy. The "karma factor" of donating to the show is touted as a way to improve one's professional luck.

The "guerrilla marketing" initiative via NoAgendaStickers.com is promoted as a way for non-donors to contribute by spreading the show's URL. One host reveals he is broadcasting from the 13th floor of the San Francisco Marriott while relocating the "Crackpot Command Center."

No Agenda Stream Beta, Bumper Stickers, and Access Issues (59:09–1:03:09) The No Agenda Stream project is announced in beta, with plans to credit initial producers who donate before the end of the month. The hosts discuss the potential for a bumper sticker competition to increase the listener base. Technical difficulties and censorship of the hosts' personal websites lead to a recommendation to use Dvorak.org/NA for reliable access to the show.

MTV Logo Change, Marijuana Propaganda, and California Ballot Measure (1:03:09–1:07:59) MTV's decision to remove "Music Television" from its logo is noted as a shift toward reality TV dominance. A story about a man causing a flight diversion due to "medical marijuana" is dismissed as a planted propaganda piece designed to influence an upcoming California legalization ballot. The hosts predict a wave of subtle media stories linking marijuana to violence and Mexican cartels.

Vallejo Budget Cuts, Fix-it Tickets, and Private Outsourcing (1:07:59–1:10:40) Cities like Vallejo and San Francisco are reportedly increasing the issuance of "fix-it tickets" for minor vehicle infractions to compensate for budget shortfalls. The ticketing system is described as a "complete scam" that has been outsourced to private industry. These fees are viewed as a predatory form of revenue generation in the absence of other tax income.

Stevia Red Herring, Artificial Sweeteners, and Donald Rumsfeld (1:10:41–1:15:10) The sudden promotion of Stevia as a natural sweetener is theorized to be a "red herring" designed to make consumers accept a future, potentially toxic, artificial sweetener. The history of Aspartame's approval under Donald Rumsfeld's influence is cited as a precedent for corporate-government collusion in the food industry. Listeners are asked to research upcoming chemical sweeteners in scientific literature.

Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, Pincus Green, and Zug Slush Funds (1:15:10–1:18:55) The Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund is scrutinized for its lack of transparency and high administrative costs, with claims that funds are being diverted to private foundations. An "insider" report links the Clinton Foundation to Pincus Green, a pardoned white-collar criminal operating out of Zug, Switzerland. The town of Zug is identified as a tax haven used for "slushing" money into political foundations via high executive salaries.

Bad Acting Segment, Law and Order, and CSI: NY (1:18:55–1:22:38) A "bad acting" segment critiques the performances in popular television dramas when stripped of their visual elements. Clips from *Law and Order: Criminal Intent* featuring Jeff Goldblum and *CSI: NY* are played to highlight flat delivery and unrealistic dialogue. The hosts argue that these dramatized versions of police work create a false public perception of law enforcement capabilities.

Forensic "Enhance" Trope, Jury Poisoning, and Queens Shooting (1:22:37–1:25:57) A compilation of "enhance" and "zoom" tropes from various crime shows illustrates the unrealistic portrayal of forensic technology. This phenomenon is blamed for "poisoning the jury pool" by making citizens believe cops have access to magical digital tools. A real-world contrast is provided by a story of a Queens security guard shooting smokers, highlighting the gap between TV heroics and actual violence.

Ukraine Elections, Yulia Timoshenko, and CIA Regime Change (1:25:57–1:28:29) The Ukrainian presidential election results, showing a victory for Viktor Yanukovych over Yulia Timoshenko, are discussed. Timoshenko is characterized as a pro-Western figure aligned with NATO and the European Union. The hosts suggest that the CIA often uses "hit squads" and street protests to destabilize leaders who do not align with Western interests, referencing the book *Legacy of Ashes*.

Vancouver Olympics Protests, Border Denials, and Athlete Exploitation (1:28:29–1:32:11) Activists and journalists are reportedly being denied entry into Canada to cover anti-Olympic protests in Vancouver. The Winter Olympics are described as a "stupid commercial enterprise" that exploits athletes and enforces strict corporate control. Protesters are using imagery of the Olympic rings as handcuffs to highlight the perceived loss of rights and the heavy-handed nature of the International Olympic Committee.

Climate.gov Launch, Missing Sunlight Data, and NOAA (1:32:11–1:36:32) The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) launched Climate.gov to provide data on global warming, but the site is criticized for missing data. Specifically, the "incoming sunlight" chart ends in 1999, while other metrics continue to 2004. The hosts argue that the site is a tool for "indoctrinating children" and promoting the "science is in" narrative to support cap-and-trade legislation.

Cap-and-Trade Bill, EPA Home Licenses, and GE Lobbying (1:36:33–1:40:40) House Resolution 2454, the Cap-and-Trade Bill, is analyzed for its potential impact on American families, including an estimated annual cost of $6,800. The bill reportedly includes provisions requiring EPA licenses to sell homes, contingent on energy efficiency upgrades. This is framed as a giveaway to companies like General Electric and a massive expansion of government bureaucracy.

Naked Body Scanners, Shahrukh Khan, and Heathrow Privacy Breach (1:40:41–1:42:57) Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan reportedly had his "naked" body scan image printed and presented to him for an autograph by security staff at Heathrow Airport. This incident is used to debunk claims that the new airport scanners protect passenger privacy. The hosts label the technology as "security theater" and accuse high-level officials of being "perverts" who facilitate the collection of such images.

Charlie Sheen Legal Troubles, New World Order, and Pam Anderson (1:42:57–1:44:34) Actor Charlie Sheen's legal issues in Aspen, Colorado, are discussed in the context of his public skepticism of official narratives. Despite his wife dropping charges, the court maintained strict restrictions, which the hosts interpret as "messing with him" for his political views. The segment also jokes about the inevitability of celebrity "naked" scanner photos leaking to the public.

"Everybody Hurts" Haiti Charity Single, Simon Cowell, and Media Callousness (1:44:35–1:48:09) Simon Cowell's charity cover of REM's "Everybody Hurts" for Haiti relief is criticized as "sadistic" and "callous." The music video's use of footage showing maimed children is described as a manipulative tool to further celebrity careers. The hosts argue that the song is inappropriate for the tragedy and that the entire production is a "fake" display of humanitarian spirit.

Earthquake Machine Target, Canary Islands, and Obama Resort (1:48:16–1:52:40) The "earthquake machine" target is revised from Iran to the Canary Islands, citing potential hidden oil reserves and strategic importance. The presence of the "Abama Resort" is noted as a linguistic coincidence that could be rebranded following a disaster. The hosts predict that a future earthquake in the region will be blamed on volcanic activity to mask the use of tectonic weaponry for resource acquisition.

Operation Titstorm, Australian Internet Censorship, and Anonymous (1:49:12–1:53:30) The hacker group "Anonymous" launched "Operation Titstorm" against the Australian government to protest strict internet censorship and a proposed filter. The attacks targeted government websites in response to legislation that classifies images of small-breasted women as potential child pornography. The hackers have promised to flood government offices with pornographic faxes and emails as a form of digital protest.

Negative Population Growth, Gardasil Bribes, and Scholarship Contests (1:53:32–1:56:53) The organization Negative Population Growth (NPG.org) is highlighted for offering scholarships to students who create ads promoting population reduction. Simultaneously, reports emerge of $75 shopping vouchers being offered in malls to girls who agree to receive the Gardasil vaccine. These initiatives are viewed as "abhorrent" methods of social engineering and corporate bribery targeting the youth.

Sean Hannity's 3,000 Jobs Gaffe, Outro, and Sunday Service (1:56:55–1:59:43) A clip of Sean Hannity mistakenly claiming the average American family will lose "3,000 jobs" due to cap-and-trade is played for ridicule. The hosts conclude the show by reiterating the need for donations to reach the "magic number three" for weekly episodes and the return of the *Daily Source Code*. The broadcast ends with a sign-off from the 13th floor of the Marriott in San Francisco.
