In The Morning > Military maneuvers in Iraq and domestic surveillance trends collide as the food supply faces massive recalls and global institutions prepare for a future of synthetic meat. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 227 - **Published:** 2010-08-19 - **Length:** 2h 4m - **Topics:** [Iraq Withdrawal](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/iraq-withdrawal.md), Juarez Cartel, RFID Tracking, [Egg Recall](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/egg-recall.md), Vat-Grown Meat, [Chantix](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/chantix.md), Stryker Vehicles - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/227-eat-pray-love-in-the-morning ## About this episode The United States military has officially withdrawn its final combat brigades from Iraq, a maneuver characterized by Al Jazeera as a tactical retreat under the cover of darkness. While President Barack Obama previously campaigned on a total withdrawal, 50,000 troops remain in-country for counter-terrorism and training roles. This transition occurs amidst heavy media embargoes and the deployment of Stryker combat vehicles equipped with controversial slat armor. Domestic stability faces new challenges as the Juarez drug cartel, La Linea, begins deploying young women as assassins, while a massive recall of 288 million eggs due to salmonella hits the American food supply. In Northern California, Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation recalled 3,000 improperly refrigerated vaccines, including H1N1 and polio doses. Meanwhile, the George Miller Children's School in Richmond has implemented an RFID tracking system for students, and the Royal Society predicts a global shift toward vat-grown synthetic meat by 2050. Cultural oddities abound as Dr. Laura Schlesinger exits terrestrial radio following a Media Matters boycott, and Wyclef Jean appears in Belgium despite reports of him hiding from death threats in Haiti. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak examine the rise of the zombie meme in university emergency guidelines and the strange marketing of gelato-scented body wash tied to the film Eat Pray Love. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Mel Gibson, Chantix, and Media Speculation on Car Accidents (2:16–5:49) Speculation surrounds Mel Gibson following a recent car accident involving his Maserati, with the hosts suggesting the smoking-cessation drug Chantix as a potential cause for erratic behavior. They compare the effects of Chantix to Ambien, noting that media reports indicate no alcohol was involved in the crash. A host shares an anecdote about a casting director at E! Network whose husband had a negative experience with the same medication.

Executive Producer Credits and No Agenda Funding Model (5:49–9:26) The hosts announce the executive producers for the episode, including Michael Garcia from Tokyo and Dennis Cruz from Oregon, alongside associate executive producer Matthew Carey from Australia. They discuss the "value-for-value" funding model and the need for more $5 monthly sustaining subscriptions to keep the show viable. There is a brief humorous exchange regarding the attribution of blame when donation levels fluctuate.

Zombie Meme Proliferation and University Preparedness Guidelines (9:27–11:05) The "zombie" cultural meme is identified as a growing trend, highlighted by an upcoming zombie march organized by the Newcastle Undead Society in Australia. The discussion references a college that reportedly included a 15-page "undead attack" section in its official emergency preparedness guidelines as a joke. This is framed as part of a broader observation of zombie-related media saturation.

Montecito Train Noise and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Criticism (11:06–14:21) A personal anecdote about staying in Montecito, California, details the disruptive noise of freight trains running through residential areas at all hours of the night. The hosts criticize Burlington Northern Santa Fe, a company owned by Warren Buffett, for the poor aesthetic maintenance of its engines compared to the "glamorous" era of Southern Pacific. They joke that the dilapidated trains are only fit for transporting citizens to FEMA camps.

US Combat Troop Withdrawal from Iraq and Al Jazeera Coverage (14:21–19:26) The United States military has officially withdrawn its last combat brigades from Iraq, a move characterized by some media outlets as "sneaking out" under the cover of darkness. Al Jazeera's reporting is analyzed for its use of the term "resistance" instead of "terrorism" to describe local insurgent activity. Despite the withdrawal of combat units, 50,000 U.S. troops remain in the country for training and counter-terrorism roles. Keywords: [iraq war](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/iraq-war.md), [al jazeera](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/al-jazeera.md), [rachel maddow](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/rachel-maddow.md), [combat troops](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/combat-troops.md), [democracy now](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/democracy-now.md) [Chapter transcript](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/227-eat-pray-love-in-the-morning/chapter/6.md) ### 7. Media Embargoes and Obama's Campaign Promises on Iraq (19:27–24:26) The timing of the Iraq withdrawal is described as a tactical maneuver to avoid attacks, with mainstream media outlets like MSNBC agreeing to an embargo on the story until the troops were safe. A 2008 campaign clip of Barack Obama is played to contrast his promise of a total troop withdrawal with the reality of 50,000 personnel remaining. The hosts question the definition of "counter-terrorism" as a loophole for continued combat operations.

Stryker Combat Vehicles and Military Propaganda (24:26–28:47) The design and utility of Stryker combat vehicles are questioned, specifically the "slat armor" cages intended to deflect RPG rounds. The hosts mock the appearance of the vehicles, comparing them to equipment from Mad Max, and suggest they look like mobile billboards. They also criticize Rachel Maddow's embedded reporting as being part of a government-sanctioned propaganda effort. Keywords: stryker, [rpg](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/rpg.md), [rachel maddow](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/rachel-maddow.md), [pentagon](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/pentagon.md), [military equipment](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/military-equipment.md) [Chapter transcript](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/227-eat-pray-love-in-the-morning/chapter/8.md) ### 9. Juarez Cartel Female Assassins and Finland Smoking Ban (28:47–30:45) Reports from the El Paso Times indicate that the Juarez drug cartel, known as La Linea, is employing young women as assassins to distract targets. In international news, Finland has announced plans to completely phase out smoking, a move the hosts view as a precursor to potential alcohol prohibition. A BBC clip featuring a defiant Finnish cigar smoker is used to illustrate the cultural clash over the ban. Keywords: juarez cartel, la linea, [finland](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/finland.md), [smoking ban](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/smoking-ban.md), [bbc](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/bbc.md) [Chapter transcript](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/227-eat-pray-love-in-the-morning/chapter/9.md) ### 10. Alcohol Prohibition Memes and Tequila Parody Commercial (30:46–36:35) The hosts explore a perceived media trend toward alcohol prohibition, citing plotlines in "Days of Our Lives" and "Entourage" that portray alcohol as a "gateway" to harder drugs and career ruin. A parody commercial for tequila is played, listing absurd side effects like "dancing like a retard" and "naked twister." They suggest that these media portrayals may be influenced by political figures like Rahm Emanuel's brother, Ari.

ADHD Misdiagnosis and Sutter Pacific Vaccine Recall (36:36–41:52) A study suggests nearly one million American children may be misdiagnosed with ADHD and unnecessarily medicated with Ritalin. Simultaneously, Sutter Pacific Medical Foundation in Northern California has issued a recall for 3,000 vaccines, including H1N1 and polio, due to improper refrigeration. The hosts speculate that the recall is a ruse to distribute excess H1N1 stock before it expires.

Global Salmonella Egg Recalls and Food Supply Concerns (41:53–43:21) A massive recall of 288 million eggs in the United States due to salmonella concerns is linked to similar outbreaks in the United Kingdom. The hosts observe that these parallel food safety issues are rarely reported as a singular global event. They express suspicion regarding the timing of these outbreaks and their impact on the availability of natural food products.

Wyclef Jean Death Threats and Belgium Performance Discrepancy (43:21–45:12) Despite widespread media reports that Haitian presidential hopeful Wyclef Jean has gone into hiding due to death threats, video evidence shows him performing at a festival in Belgium. The hosts characterize the "hiding" narrative as a PR stunt to avoid difficult interviews regarding his bid for the Haitian presidency. They criticize the Associated Press and Guardian for failing to verify the singer's actual location. Keywords: [wyclef jean](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/wyclef-jean.md), [haiti](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/haiti.md), [belgium](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/belgium.md), [death threats](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/death-threats.md), [presidency](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/presidency.md) [Chapter transcript](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/227-eat-pray-love-in-the-morning/chapter/13.md) ### 14. Dr. Frank Ryan Death and MTV Texting-While-Driving PSA (45:13–49:25) Celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Frank Ryan died after his Jeep plunged off a cliff in Malibu, an event MTV News immediately framed as a warning against texting while driving. The hosts note that Ryan had tweeted just before the accident, but they criticize the rapid pivot to a public service announcement. They list several of Ryan's famous clients, including Heidi Montag and Gene Simmons, who expressed grief over his passing.

Dr. Laura Schlesinger Resignation and Media Matters Boycott (49:28–55:23) Dr. Laura Schlesinger announced her departure from terrestrial radio following a controversy involving her use of a racial epithet and a subsequent advertiser boycott led by Media Matters. Schlesinger claims her First Amendment rights were "usurped" by activist groups. The hosts discuss the incident as a primary reason why they avoid commercial sponsorship, which subjects broadcasters to the whims of "gatekeepers" and corporate interests.

No Agenda Donation Segment and 10-10-10 Event Planning (55:24–59:12) The hosts read a list of donors and "de-douched" listeners who purchased No Agenda challenge coins. They discuss the upcoming date of October 10, 2010 (10-10-10), noting its historical significance in Chinese culture as a lucky day. They solicit ideas from the "producers" (listeners) for a special event or promotion to mark the date and help fund the show through the next tax season.

Knighting Ceremony for Sir Michael Garcia (59:19–1:01:41) In a formal segment, Michael Garcia is knighted into the "Order of the Mint" for his significant financial support of the show. The hosts use dramatic music to induct him into the No Agenda Roundtable, granting him the title of "Sir." The segment concludes with a humorous letter from a paranoid listener who is unsure if the food they are eating is actually food.

Scram Alcohol Monitoring and the Privatization of Incarceration (1:01:41–1:05:22) The "Scram" ankle bracelet, famously worn by Lindsay Lohan, is highlighted as a tool for the privatization of incarceration through home monitoring. The hosts examine the website jailovercrowding.com, which promotes alcohol monitoring as a solution for bankrupt states like California. They argue that this technology effectively turns private homes into "personal jails" and creates a profit motive for continuous surveillance.

RFID Tracking of Children in Richmond Schools (1:05:22–1:12:23) The George Miller Children's School in Richmond, California, has implemented an RFID tracking system where children wear jerseys embedded with sensors. While officials claim the system saves "man-hours" on attendance and improves safety, the hosts condemn it as an "inventory system" for children. They express outrage that the technology, funded by a federal grant, treats students like trackable assets.

B.I. Incorporated History and Raw Milk Dangers (1:12:23–1:15:40) A listener provides background on B.I. Incorporated, noting its origins as an agricultural company before moving into prisoner surveillance. The discussion shifts to the FDA's aggressive stance against raw milk, which the agency labels as "inherently dangerous." The hosts question why the government is so focused on restricting raw milk while ignoring issues in the commercial food supply.

Royal Society Report on Vat-Grown Meat by 2050 (1:15:41–1:18:23) The Royal Society has published a series of papers suggesting that by 2050, the global population will need to consume meat grown in vats to ensure food security. The hosts criticize the "media-government complex," noting that the Royal Society's website directs readers to a Guardian write-up rather than encouraging them to read the scientific papers directly. They view this as a coordinated effort to normalize synthetic food. Keywords: [royal society](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/royal-society.md), vat-grown meat, [food security](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/food-security.md), [the guardian](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/the-guardian.md), [2050](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/2050.md) [Chapter transcript](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/227-eat-pray-love-in-the-morning/chapter/21.md) ### 22. Bill Clinton, Haiti Reconstruction, and French Debt Controversy (1:18:24–1:23:42) Former President Bill Clinton, acting as a UN envoy, has approved $1.6 billion in new reconstruction projects for Haiti. The hosts criticize the lack of transparency regarding the funds collected by the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund. They also discuss a petition for France to repay an "independence debt" of $40 billion to Haiti, though they note the news regarding France's debt cancellation is several months old.

US Military Access to Colombian Bases and Hugo Chavez (1:23:42–1:25:58) A Colombian court has suspended a deal that would have granted the U.S. military access to seven bases within the country. The hosts suggest the military presence is aimed at destabilizing Hugo Chavez in Venezuela rather than fighting the war on drugs. They highlight the provision of "diplomatic immunity" for the 800 U.S. troops and 600 contractors involved in the deal.

History Channel Ancient Aliens and Geoengineering Theories (1:26:00–1:29:05) The History Channel's "Ancient Aliens" program is mocked for claiming that 14th-century health epidemics were caused by "noxious mists" from UFOs. This leads to a discussion on "atmospheric geoengineering" and persistent contrails. The hosts recommend an article on the subject but acknowledge the controversy surrounding the term "chemtrails," which often triggers email filters.

Russian Scholar Claims US Climate Change Weaponry (1:29:07–1:31:30) A Russian political scientist has claimed that the United States is using "climate change weapons" to cause record-high temperatures and destroy Russian wheat crops. The scholar points to the secretive X-37B spacecraft as a potential component of this arsenal. The hosts note that wheat and barley futures have skyrocketed as a result of the crop failures, threatening global beer supplies.

Santa Barbara Dining Review and Gordon Ramsay Themes (1:31:31–1:33:57) A review of the Stonehouse restaurant at San Isidro Ranch in Santa Barbara describes the food as overly complex and "shockingly expensive." The host compares the experience to a recurring theme on Gordon Ramsay's shows, where chefs over-complicate dishes with too many ingredients. Despite the high cost, the ambiance and butternut squash soup are praised.

San Francisco and Amsterdam Rental Restrictions (1:33:58–1:36:42) San Francisco has begun enforcing a 1981 ordinance that prohibits residents from renting out apartments for less than 30 days, targeting short-term tourist rentals. Similarly, in Amsterdam, owners of second homes are being forced to make their properties available to the social rental pool. The hosts argue these measures are intended to protect the hotel industry and manage housing shortages for "slaves."

Top Ten Right-Wing Conspiracy Theories and Patriotism (1:36:43–1:40:28) Fidel Castro has publicly praised Daniel Estulin's book on the Bilderberg Club, aligning himself with theories about a global shadow government. The hosts then analyze a "Top 10 Right-Wing Conspiracy Theories" list circulating online, which includes chemtrails, FEMA camps, and the North American Union. They criticize the list for conflating "patriotism" with "conspiracy theory" to marginalize dissent.

Homeland Security Overreach on the Canadian Border (1:40:28–1:43:30) The U.S. Border Patrol on Washington's Olympic Peninsula is criticized for involving itself in local police matters, such as responding to drunk drivers and domestic disputes. Data suggests that none of the arrests in the Port Angeles area are related to terrorism or illegal immigration from Canada. Additionally, a report claims 91% of Canadians are "toxic" due to Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure.

Sonic Boom in Seattle and F-15 Interception of Cessna (1:43:30–1:45:10) F-15 fighter jets scrambled to intercept a Cessna floatplane that accidentally entered a restricted no-fly zone near Seattle during a presidential visit. The jets broke the sound barrier, causing a massive sonic boom that shattered windows across the region. The hosts mock the extreme response to a "poor schmuck" in a small plane and doubt the government will pay for the property damage.

Social Security Reform and Net Neutrality Concerns (1:45:12–1:49:55) A discussion on Social Security reform explores the idea of raising the retirement age versus "soaking the rich" by removing the tax cap. The hosts also express concern over a Verizon and Google partnership that could undermine net neutrality, particularly for wireless networks. They argue that "managing the network" is double-speak for prioritizing corporate traffic and cutting off alternative media.

High-Speed Rail Propaganda and CNN Journalist Criticism (1:49:56–1:54:24) The push for high-speed rail in the U.S. is characterized as a PR campaign managed by Hill and Knowlton to make air travel look unappealing. The hosts specifically target CNN journalist Catherine Dorsett, calling her a "shill" for writing articles that mirror government talking points. They mock her previous work, including a book review of "Princess Bubble," to question her journalistic integrity.

Southwest Airlines Baby Incident and Hedge Fund Signals (1:54:24–1:57:53) A Southwest Airlines flight attendant reportedly took a baby away from its mother mid-flight after witnessing the mother slap the child. The hosts view this as a "disturbing" form of pre-conditioning for state intervention. In a separate anecdote, a host mentions a major New York hedge fund manager quitting his job to go surfing, interpreting it as a "canary in the coal mine" for an impending economic crash.

Eat Pray Love Merchandising and Show Outro (1:57:53–2:03:46) The show concludes with a critique of the movie "Eat Pray Love" and its extensive merchandising on the Home Shopping Network, which includes "gelato-scented body wash." The hosts contrast this "chick flick" culture with the "value-for-value" support of their listeners. They mention an upcoming interview with adult film star Bobby Eden on the Daily Source Code before signing off for the Sunday service.
