# Two Ugandans One Cup > A lethal rampage in England masks a deeper conspiracy as corporate elites at Goldman Sachs and BP face allegations of insider trading ahead of environmental disaster. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 205 - **Published:** 2010-06-02 - **Length:** 2h 3m - **Topics:** Cumbria shootings, BP spill, [Bin Laden](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/bin-laden.md), [Goldman Sachs](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/goldman-sachs.md), WHO alcohol, [Lady Gaga](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/lady-gaga.md) - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/205-two-ugandans-one-cup ## About this episode A taxi driver's lethal shooting spree in Cumbria, England, serves as the catalyst for a deeper investigation into a suspected child abuse ring involving local clergy and medical professionals. The tragedy, which mirrors the 1996 Dunblane massacre, is analyzed as a potential distraction from emerging criminal charges against high-ranking regional figures. Meanwhile, British Airways faces intense scrutiny after an internal magazine published a mock iPhone boarding pass for Osama Bin Laden, sparking fears that the October 26 flight date contains a coded warning. Political tensions mount as Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggests government policy should align with biblical scripture, while allegations from The Washington Insider link President Barack Obama to a Chicago gay bathhouse. In the corporate sector, Goldman Sachs is accused of insider trading after offloading forty percent of its BP stock just before the Deepwater Horizon explosion. This financial maneuver, involving shared leadership between Peter Sutherland and both firms, coincides with a global World Health Organization strategy to regulate alcohol consumption through a new treaty in Geneva. Cultural oddities round out the report, from foxes stealing hundreds of shoes in Germany to the surreal satellite delay during Lady Gaga’s interview with Larry King. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak formalize the knighting of Andrew McKinnon, who contributed three thousand dollars to the production. The broadcast concludes with a critique of BBC propaganda techniques, specifically the use of somber music and dusty visuals to manipulate sentiment regarding starving children in Kabul and sex tourism in Brazil. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Cumbria Taxi Driver Rampage and Child Abuse Ring Allegations (2:47–8:41) A taxi driver in Cumbria, England, killed 12 people and wounded 15 others in a shooting rampage before committing suicide. The event is compared to the 1996 Dunblane massacre, but a deeper investigation reveals a series of recent child pornography and sex abuse charges involving local figures, including a vicar and a doctor. The shooting is characterized as a potential distraction or "MK Ultra" style event meant to obscure a larger child abuse ring in the county.

British Airways Osama Bin Laden Boarding Pass Incident (18:18–21:35) An internal British Airways staff magazine, LHR News, published a photo of a paperless iPhone boarding pass issued to "Bin Laden/Osama" for a flight on October 26, 2010. The seat assignment was 7C in first class, sparking controversy and speculation about the intent behind the "joke." The hosts suggest the specific date might serve as a coded message or a warning of future events.

Jesse James Nightline Interview and Public Appearance (21:35–22:29) Media coverage focused on Jesse James following his controversial Nightline interview regarding his infidelity toward Sandra Bullock. Paparazzi captured images of James outside his Cisco Burger restaurant in Long Beach holding a large soda, which news outlets sensationalized as "a drink in his hand." The hosts mock the trivial nature of the celebrity reporting.

Nancy Pelosi and The Word Public Policy Comments (22:30–25:59) Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi discussed the intersection of faith and governance in a clip sourced from C-SPAN. Pelosi emphasized that public policy should be "in keeping with the values of The Word," referencing the biblical Gospel. The hosts express concern over the implications of a high-ranking official suggesting that religious doctrine should dictate government policy.

Bill Maher Racial Jokes and BP Oil Spill Commentary (25:59–28:45) Comedian Bill Maher faced scrutiny for a monologue on his show regarding President Obama's response to the BP oil spill. Maher joked about wanting a "real black president" who would intimidate BP CEOs with a gun, leaning into racial stereotypes. The hosts discuss the double standard of Maher being allowed to make such jokes while conservative figures like Glenn Beck would face immediate backlash for similar content.

Barack Obama Gay Bathhouse and Smear Campaign Allegations (28:46–34:45) A report from The Washington Insider alleges that President Obama and Rahm Emanuel were members of a gay bathhouse in Chicago. The claims include rumors of a "Down Low Club" at Obama's former church and suggest a sexual relationship between the President and his personal aide, Reggie Love. The hosts identify these reports as part of a coordinated smear campaign intended to weaken the administration.

Historical Parallels Between Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama (34:46–38:34) The current political pressure on President Obama is compared to the challenges faced by Jimmy Carter in 1979, specifically the Gulf oil spill and the Iranian Hostage Crisis. Referencing the book "Legacy of Ashes," the hosts discuss how the CIA and intelligence communities have historically undermined presidents, including Richard Nixon. They suggest the current media onslaught regarding the oil spill and personal scandals may be a modern "October Surprise" setup. Keywords: [jimmy carter](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/jimmy-carter.md), [richard nixon](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/richard-nixon.md), [cia](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/cia.md), [october surprise](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/october-surprise.md), [legacy of ashes](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/legacy-of-ashes.md) [Chapter transcript](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/205-two-ugandans-one-cup/chapter/9.md) ### 10. Al and Tipper Gore Divorce Speculation (38:34–41:10) The separation of Al and Tipper Gore is discussed as a potential media distraction from larger political issues. The hosts recall Tipper Gore's past leadership of the PMRC and her efforts to censor music in the 1980s. They speculate whether the timing of the divorce was strategically chosen to provide a "relationship story" for the headlines.

DUI Scram Devices and Interlock Ignition Revenue (41:13–43:30) The use of SCRAM ankle bracelets and ignition interlock devices for DUI offenders is characterized as a massive revenue-generating scheme. Using Lindsay Lohan's legal troubles as a backdrop, the hosts detail the high costs associated with these devices, including installation fees and monthly service charges. They estimate the industry generates half a billion dollars annually in California alone.

World Health Organization Global Alcohol Reduction Strategy (43:31–49:15) The World Health Organization (WHO) approved a global strategy to reduce the "harmful use of alcohol," which 193 member states agreed to in Geneva. The resolution links alcohol consumption to infectious diseases like HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, as well as non-communicable diseases. The hosts criticize this as an overreach of "global governance" and question the continued utility of the United Nations.

NPR Report on Alcohol Toxicity in Adolescent Brains (49:16–51:43) An NPR report features research from Dr. Susan Tapert regarding the toxic effects of alcohol on the developing adolescent brain. The study suggests that heavy drinking during the teenage years damages regions responsible for judgment and memory, which do not fully mature until the mid-20s. The hosts mock the report for stating the obvious fact that alcohol causes intoxication and brain impairment.

Electrical Network Frequency Analysis in Forensic Recordings (51:44–55:00) A new forensic technique called Electrical Network Frequency (ENF) analysis is being used in the UK to verify the authenticity of audio and video recordings. By matching the subtle fluctuations in the power grid recorded in the background of a file against a database of grid activity, investigators can determine the exact time and location of a recording. The hosts dismiss the technology as "pseudo-science" likely to be featured in police procedural dramas like CSI.

Foxes Stealing Shoes and UK Gun Control (55:01–56:47) Reports from Germany and the UK indicate a bizarre trend of foxes stealing hundreds of shoes from residential areas. This leads into a discussion about the anti-gun sentiment following the Cumbria shootings. The hosts predict the British government will use the tragedy to seize the 600,000 legally owned shotguns in the country, despite the ongoing issues with local crime and social decay.

BBC Afghanistan Coverage and Media Sentiment Manipulation (56:47–1:02:29) The hosts critique two BBC reports from Kabul, Afghanistan, featuring a nine-year-old girl named Nargis who begs for bread to support her family. They mock the "standard" use of somber music and dusty visuals in war zone reporting. The BBC is criticized for filming a starving child for a "miserable story" rather than providing direct aid, labeling the coverage as manipulative propaganda.

Listener Feedback and Liberal Audience Perspectives (1:02:31–1:07:11) The hosts read letters from listeners in Canada, Arkansas, and Germany, including a self-described "unabashed left-winger" who values the show for its rational arguments and documented evidence. The feedback challenges the notion that the show only appeals to a conservative audience. They encourage listeners to share the podcast with friends across the political spectrum to promote critical thinking.

No Agenda Donation Methods and Psychedelic Music Project (1:07:12–1:09:43) Information is provided on how to support the show via NoAgendaShow.com and Dvorak.org, including options for direct bank deposits to bypass third-party processors. One host announces a side project to document the top 50 psychedelic songs of the 1960s, planning to interview era icons like Roger McGuinn to preserve the history of the "lost" musical genre.

Knighting Ceremony for Sir Andrew McKinnon (1:09:44–1:11:27) In a formal ceremony, Andrew McKinnon is knighted as a Triple Knight of the No Agenda Roundtable. The hosts use "big swords" to signify the importance of his $3,000 contribution. McKinnon is officially designated as the Series Producer for the month of June, representing the "Gitmo Nation Down Under."

Uganda Anti-Homosexuality Legislation and Pastor Martin Sempa (1:11:29–1:15:37) Pastor Martin Sempa, a leader in the Ugandan movement to criminalize homosexuality, is featured in a graphic video lecture. Sempa describes alleged sexual practices in explicit detail to an audience, claiming that homosexuality involves "eating poo-poo." The hosts discuss the influence of American evangelicals like Rick Warren in the region and the extreme nature of the proposed Ugandan laws.

Guatemala Sinkhole and Space-Based Weapon Theories (1:15:38–1:20:53) A perfectly circular, 30-story deep sinkhole appeared in Guatemala City following a tropical storm. The hosts debate whether the hole was a natural occurrence or created by a space-based beam weapon or "earthquake machine." They suggest the event could be related to recent oil discoveries in Guatemala and might serve as a warning from "economic hit men" to the local government.

Japanese Prime Minister Resignation and HAARP Speculation (1:20:56–1:24:13) Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama resigned after only eight months in office, citing his failure to move a U.S. military base off Okinawa. The hosts link his departure to potential "economic warfare" and the use of HAARP technology to trigger earthquakes as a form of political intimidation. They discuss how such "crackpot" notions are entering public consciousness through entertainment media.

Goldman Sachs and BP Insider Trading Allegations (1:24:14–1:25:52) Goldman Sachs reportedly sold a significant portion of its BP stock holdings—approximately 40% of its portfolio—just before the Deepwater Horizon blowout. The hosts highlight the role of Peter Sutherland, who served as both the ex-chairman of Goldman Sachs and the chairman of BP. They argue this is a clear case of insider trading and suggest the oil company is an extension of the banking elite.

British Media Reaction to Obama's BP Criticism (1:25:52–1:29:27) The UK media, specifically The Telegraph, has characterized President Obama's criticism of BP as a "war against the UK." British commentators express concern that the "special relationship" between the two nations is in peril due to the demonization of the company. Meanwhile, BP CEO Tony Hayward faced backlash for stating he "would like his life back" while families of the 11 workers killed in the explosion remain in mourning.

Global Warming Myths and the Oil Money Machine (1:29:41–1:36:13) The hosts question the validity of "global warming" and "peak oil," suggesting these concepts are myths used to maintain high energy prices and control the population. They reflect on the 1970s oil crisis and the failed promises of subsidized alternative energy like wind and solar. The oil industry is described as a simple but incredibly lucrative "money machine" that relies on a psychological frame of mind to keep the public compliant.

Gaza Flotilla Raid and Turkish Political Shifts (1:36:14–1:40:17) A Turkish-led flotilla attempting to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza resulted in a violent confrontation. The hosts suggest the mission was a deliberate provocation intended to create anti-Israel sentiment. They also discuss Turkey's gradual shift away from a secular state toward an Islamic Sharia government, noting that the EU's human rights requirements are ironically preventing the Turkish military from intervening to preserve secularism.

Middle East Proxy Conflicts and Rahm Emanuel's Israel Visit (1:40:18–1:43:28) Russia is reasserting its influence in the Middle East by selling arms to Syria and building naval docks on the Syrian coast. This is viewed as a counter-move to U.S. dominance, creating a "triple alliance" between Syria, Turkey, and Iran. Amidst these tensions, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel visited Prime Minister Netanyahu in Israel, officially for a bar mitzvah but likely for high-level strategic discussions.

Cocaine Contamination and Afghan Poppy Production (1:43:29–1:45:35) Reports of cocaine laced with Levamisole, a veterinary deworming agent that causes flesh-eating skin reactions, have resurfaced. The hosts jokingly suggest this is a government tactic to push users toward heroin, which is sourced from U.S.-controlled poppy fields in Afghanistan. They frame the drug trade as a competition between different government-backed warlords.

NCTA Cable Show Panel and Media Piracy Discussion (1:45:36–1:51:12) At a major cable industry panel in Las Vegas, CEOs from Time Warner and CBS (Les Moonves) discussed the future of content and technology. The hosts mock the Time Warner CEO for suggesting television was only invented 20 years ago. They also critique Moonves' comments on the DVR, noting that the industry's primary focus remains on "getting paid appropriately" and avoiding the mistakes made by the RIAA.

The Hurt Locker Academy Award Criticism (1:51:13–1:53:56) The hosts express disappointment that "The Hurt Locker" won the Academy Award for Best Picture, labeling it as "bogus" pro-war propaganda. Having spent time in Iraq, one host argues the film bears no resemblance to the actual lives of soldiers on the ground. They also note that despite the critical acclaim, the movie was a commercial failure and heavily pirated via BitTorrent.

Lady Gaga and Larry King Interview Analysis (1:53:56–1:56:34) Lady Gaga's interview with Larry King on CNN is analyzed for its "generational rift" and technical awkwardness. The hosts compare Gaga's persona to a modern-day Madonna and jokingly label her an "Illuminati puppet" designed to hypnotize youth. They mock the significant satellite delay during the broadcast, which made the interaction between the pop star and the veteran host seem surreal.

BBC Brazil Sex Tourism Report and Outro (1:56:36–2:00:21) A BBC report on the rise of sex tourism in Brazil is criticized for following the same "miserable" template as the Afghanistan coverage. The segment features a mother who seems more concerned about her daughter not bringing home money from prostitution than the act itself. The hosts conclude that the BBC produces "idiotic" content that fails to address the reality of the situations they film.
