# Trains To FEMA > Media manipulation at West Point meets the rise of synthetic life and industry-led oil spill commissions as global tensions mount over high-speed rail and border security. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 202 - **Published:** 2010-05-23 - **Length:** 1h 54m - **Topics:** [Fox News](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/fox-news.md), [Cyber War](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/cyber-war.md), [BP Oil Spill](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/bp-oil-spill.md), [Foxconn](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/foxconn.md), [FEMA Camps](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/fema-camps.md), Synthetic Life, [DSM-5](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/dsm-5.md) - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/202-trains-to-fema ## About this episode Fox News utilized sophisticated video editing to remove enthusiastic applause from President Barack Obama's West Point commencement speech, according to evidence presented by videographer Micah Phillips. The network seamlessly jumped between segments of the address to eliminate cadet cheering, creating a false impression of the reception for the administration's Afghanistan and Al Qaeda policies. This technical manipulation highlights a broader trend of media distortion involving high-profile political figures and international events. Former counter-terrorism official Richard Clarke revealed on C-SPAN that the United States maintained 33,000 nuclear weapons during the Cold War and detailed a 2007 Israeli cyber attack that blinded Syrian radar to facilitate the bombing of a secret nuclear site. Meanwhile, President Obama appointed William K. Reilly to lead the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill commission despite Reilly's extensive ties to ConocoPhillips and TPG Capital. In China, a series of suicides at the Foxconn manufacturing complex and two fatal train crashes have fueled theories regarding high-speed rail infrastructure and its potential role in citizen relocation to FEMA camps. Model Naomi Campbell faces a subpoena at The Hague to testify regarding a blood diamond allegedly gifted by former Liberian President Charles Taylor. Closer to home, the White House press corps engaged in a heated debate over whether a rodent spotted on the lawn was a mole or a vole. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak also track the global assault on salt led by the Codex Alimentarius and the emergence of synthetic life funded by the Department of Energy. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Clarke reveals that the US had 33,000 nuclear weapons at the height of the Cold War and criticizes George W. Bush for refusing a cyber attack on the Iraqi banking system prior to the invasion.
