# Porn In The Morn' > A deep dive into the suspicious data erasure of Flight 188 and the geopolitical motives behind mass automotive recalls and domestic surveillance legislation. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 183 - **Published:** 2010-03-18 - **Length:** 2h 27m - **Topics:** [Flight 188](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/flight-188.md), [Tim Geithner](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/tim-geithner.md), Toyota recall, [John McCain](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/john-mccain.md), Ashoka, Sexting laws, Black boxes - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/183-porn-in-the-morn ## About this episode Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze the reinstatement of Northwest Airlines Flight 188 pilots following the 2009 overflight of Minneapolis. Evidence from NTSB affidavits suggests the cockpit voice recorder was tampered with to overwrite flight data, contradicting initial reports that the crew was asleep. The investigation into this aviation anomaly leads a broader look at institutional transparency and the manipulation of public records across global transport and finance sectors. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner faces scrutiny over claims of lifelong public service, specifically regarding his tenure at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which operates as a private commercial entity. In the automotive sector, mass recalls by Toyota and Honda are framed as geopolitical leverage used by the United States to ensure Japan continues purchasing U.S. Treasuries. Meanwhile, the emergence of remote vehicle disabling technology from Paytech and the introduction of Senator John McCain’s Enemy Belligerent Interrogation Act signal a shift toward increased domestic surveillance and military jurisdiction over civilians. Technical glitches take center stage as the hosts navigate a PHP 5.2 bug involving the magic number 33,333 and canned laughter in Bill Maher’s Real Time. The segment features a breakdown of the Massachusetts Child ID Program and the Ashoka organization’s attempt to install recess coaches on public playgrounds. Adam Curry also responds to military uniform critiques involving General David Petraeus while acknowledging the latest round of Minutemen donors. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Northwest Airlines Flight 188 Investigation, Pilot Reinstatement and Data Erasure (8:53–18:25) An investigation into Northwest Airlines Flight 188 reveals that pilots who overflew Minneapolis in 2009 are being reinstated. Analysis of NTSB affidavits and flight attendant statements suggests the pilots were conscious and communicating during the flyby, contradicting reports they were asleep. Evidence indicates the cockpit voice recorder was irregularly powered up after landing, causing flight data to be overwritten.

French Railway SNCF False Explosion Report, Training Exercise Blunder (18:26–21:38) The French national railway SNCF mistakenly posted a report on its website claiming 102 people died in a high-speed train explosion between Paris and Dijon. The company later clarified the post was a pretend scenario for an internal training exercise that was accidentally made public. Skepticism is raised regarding the specificity of the casualty numbers and the timing of the release.

Tim Geithner Public Service Claims, Federal Reserve Transparency Criticism (21:38–27:30) Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner claimed in an interview with Rachel Maddow that he has only worked as a public servant in government since graduate school. This claim is challenged by highlighting his tenure at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which is described as a commercial entity owned by private banks rather than a government institution. The discussion criticizes the lack of pushback from the media regarding Geithner's professional history.

Toyota and Honda Recalls, Geopolitical Debt Pressure (27:31–29:19) Recent mass recalls by Toyota and Honda are framed as a geopolitical tactic by the United States government to pressure Japan regarding its holdings of American debt. The theory suggests that the safety investigations serve as a warning to Japanese officials to continue purchasing U.S. Treasuries.

Paytech Remote Vehicle Disabling, Austin Dealership Hacking Incident (29:20–33:28) A former car dealership employee in Austin, Texas, used a remote system to disable over 100 vehicles and trigger their horns. The technology, provided by companies like Paytech, allows lenders to remotely shut down cars when customers default on loan payments. Concerns are raised about the legality and safety of such "credit solutions" that grant third parties control over private vehicles.

Automotive Black Boxes, GPS Surveillance and Speeding Tickets (33:29–35:51) Proposed mandates for black boxes in all new vehicles are characterized as a tool for government surveillance and revenue collection. Predictions are made that authorities will eventually use GPS data from these devices during smog checks to issue retroactive speeding tickets based on average travel speeds.

Child Identification Programs, DNA Collection and MyChip.org (35:52–40:20) The Massachusetts Child ID Program (MYCHIP), a Masonic youth initiative, has reportedly processed over 250,000 children using fingerprints, tooth prints, and DNA swabs. While marketed as a safety measure for missing children, the program is criticized as a precursor to universal chipping and biometric tracking.

Cory Doctorow Sysadmin Story, IT Crowd Piracy Parody (40:21–44:40) A recommendation is made for Cory Doctorow's short story "When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth," which explores the culture and values of system administrators. The segment also references a piracy parody from the British sitcom "The IT Crowd" and discusses an urban legend regarding British police officers being legally required to let pregnant women use their helmets as toilets.

Enemy Belligerent Interrogation Act, Senator John McCain Bill (44:43–49:42) Senate Bill S3081, the Enemy Belligerent Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010, was introduced by Senator John McCain. The legislation proposes placing individuals suspected of terrorism—including those captured within the United States—into indefinite military custody. The bill is currently in the Senate Committee on the Judiciary.

Healthcare Reform Strategy, Dick Morris Analysis and Dennis Kucinich (49:42–1:00:23) Political consultant Dick Morris argues that Democrats are framing the healthcare bill's passage as a "done deal" to allow vulnerable "Blue Dog" members to vote against it for their constituents without actually stopping the legislation. Conversely, a theory is presented that the Obama administration may be sabotaging the bill to avoid being blamed for rising insurance premiums. Representative Dennis Kucinich's sudden shift to support the bill after a flight on Air Force One is highlighted as political theater.

Los Angeles Earthquake, Moment Magnitude Scale vs Richter Scale (1:00:24–1:07:21) A 4.4 magnitude earthquake struck Los Angeles, centered near Pico Rivera at a depth of 18.9 kilometers. The discussion notes that geologists have transitioned from the Richter scale to the Moment Magnitude Scale (MW), which measures energy release rather than wave amplitude. This change in measurement makes historical comparisons of earthquake intensity more difficult for the public.

Bill Maher Laugh Track, Media Sweetening and Amy Holmes (1:07:22–1:15:24) An analysis of "Real Time with Bill Maher" reveals the use of canned laugh tracks from the Apple Logic Pro sound library to "sweeten" audience reactions. During a debate on climate change with conservative commentator Amy Holmes, the audio shows repetitive, artificial laughter used to marginalize skeptical viewpoints. Similar audio patterns are identified in older interviews, such as one with Richard Dawkins.

Jose Manuel Barroso Empire Comments, Economic Hitman Documentary (1:15:24–1:18:01) European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso described the European Union as a "non-imperial empire" during a press conference. This characterization of the EU as a voluntary empire is linked to the themes in John Perkins' "Confessions of an Economic Hitman," which details how global powers use financial leverage to exert control over sovereign nations.

Sexting Epidemic in Schools, Redefinition of Nudity as Pornography (1:18:00–1:26:03) Bill O'Reilly reports on "sexting" cases involving eighth-graders in affluent Massachusetts suburbs, where a student sold a naked photo of a classmate. The discussion criticizes the legal system for redefining simple adolescent nudity as "child pornography," arguing that this criminalization marginalizes actual predatory behavior while placing children on sex offender registries for minor indiscretions.

Elite Pedophilia Scandals, Judicial Leniency and Institutional Abuse (1:26:03–1:31:27) A series of reports highlight institutional child abuse and judicial leniency, including the historical abuse of aboriginal children in Canadian boarding schools and a Dutch police officer arrested for murder. In the UK, a judge is criticized for allowing a teacher to avoid jail after molesting a student because the teacher had already paid the parents a settlement. The hosts argue that the "sexting" moral panic is used to distract from systemic abuse within the elite.

MTV True Life Porn Addiction, Social Engineering and Vaccines (1:31:29–1:40:03) An episode of MTV's "True Life" featuring individuals claiming to be addicted to pornography for ten hours a day is analyzed as a form of social engineering. The hosts suggest that such media portrayals are designed to pathologize natural behavior and predict the future development of "vaccines" or pharmaceutical treatments for behavioral addictions.

No Agenda Minutemen Donations, Wine Company Partnership (1:40:04–1:49:02) The hosts read a list of "Minutemen" donors who contributed $55.10 to the show. Keith Sarlos of Sarlouse and Sons wine company offers to donate 5% of sales to No Agenda when customers mention the show. The segment also discusses the "job karma" phenomenon, where listeners reportedly find employment shortly after donating to the program.

Military Uniform Regulations, General Petraeus Criticism and Illegal Wars (1:49:07–1:58:05) A letter from a U.S. Army specialist defends the medals and badges on General David Petraeus's uniform as symbols of combat service and rigorous training. Adam Curry responds by clarifying that his criticism is directed at the high-level leadership overseeing what he characterizes as illegal, undeclared wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which he claims serve elite interests rather than national defense.

Osama Bin Laden Death Claims, Eric Holder Testimony (1:58:05–1:59:46) Attorney General Eric Holder testified to Congress that Osama Bin Laden will likely never be captured alive, stating that authorities would be "reading Miranda rights to the corpse." The hosts interpret this as a tacit admission that Bin Laden has been dead for years, potentially since 2002 due to kidney failure.

Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical Theft, High-Value Drug Black Market (1:59:46–2:04:03) Thieves stole $75 million worth of antidepressants and anti-psychotic drugs from an Eli Lilly warehouse in Connecticut by entering through the roof. The incident highlights a growing black market for prescription pharmaceuticals, which are becoming more lucrative for organized crime syndicates in Florida, New York, and New Jersey than traditional illegal narcotics.

Police Seized Gun Sales, Pentagon and Las Vegas Shootings (2:04:03–2:05:51) Investigations into high-profile shootings at the Pentagon and a Las Vegas courthouse revealed that the weapons used were originally seized by police in Memphis, Tennessee. The guns were subsequently sold back into the public market by the police department as a revenue-generating measure, raising questions about the lifecycle of confiscated firearms.

Ashoka Recess Coaches, Playground Surveillance and Social Engineering (2:05:52–2:13:15) The non-profit organization Ashoka is placing "recess coaches" in public schools to replace unstructured play with organized games. Critics argue this is a form of social engineering designed to instill obedience to authority and "Big Brother" surveillance on the playground. A specific instance is cited where coaches are instructed to intervene in children's private conversations to enforce social norms.

Bill Drayton and Applied Empathy, Globalist Social Entrepreneurship (2:13:15–2:25:49) Bill Drayton, the founder of Ashoka, promotes a concept called "applied empathy" as a mandatory skill for children to avoid being marginalized in the future. The organization identifies "social entrepreneurs" to change national policies on a continental scale. Connections are drawn between Ashoka and other globalist entities, including Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales and various non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

PHP 5.2 Magic Number Bug, Show Sign-off (2:25:51–2:27:28) The episode concludes with a technical note regarding a bug in PHP 5.2 that causes pages to fail when a character string reaches exactly 33,333. The hosts link this to their recurring theme of "magic numbers" before signing off and announcing the next "early service" episode for Sunday.
