# Code for Biodiversity! > A massive document leak triggers a push for a State Secrets Act while globalists pivot from climate change to a new biodiversity credit scheme. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 246 - **Published:** 2010-10-24 - **Length:** 2h 11m - **Topics:** [WikiLeaks](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/wikileaks.md), Biodiversity credits, [Juan Williams](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/juan-williams.md), [Project Blue Beam](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/project-blue-beam.md), Code For America, [Anna Chapman](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/anna-chapman.md), Haiti Cholera - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/246-code-for-biodiversity ## About this episode WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and the Iraq War Logs dominate the global news cycle as Daniel Ellsberg joins a London press conference to defend the massive document release. The leak of 400,000 classified files has triggered a fierce reaction from the Obama administration, which the hosts argue is a calculated pretext to pass a domestic State Secrets Act. This legal maneuver aims to criminalize the handling of classified material by journalists, mirroring the British Official Secrets Act and escalating a perceived war between the CIA and the White House. Beyond the headlines of espionage, a new environmental narrative is emerging from the IPBES meeting in Busan, South Korea. The shift from climate change to biodiversity introduces a framework for global resource management through biodiversity credits and World Bank-backed social engineering. Meanwhile, domestic controversies erupt as NPR fires Juan Williams over comments made on Fox News, and the High-Speed Rail Association reportedly enlists PR firm Hill & Knowlton to plant hit pieces against the airline industry in Reader's Digest. In Russia, exposed spy Anna Chapman transitions from a U.S. jail cell to the cover of Maxim magazine, highlighting the bizarre intersection of intelligence and celebrity. Technical updates include the expansion of No Agenda IRC servers to handle a surge in human resources and the introduction of No Agenda Shots on YouTube. The show recognizes Sir Ron Lang of Calgonia for his executive production and David Wright for his donation of a 1978 British Sovereign gold coin. From Randy Quaid’s claims of a Hollywood whack squad to the suspicious introduction of cholera in Haiti, the program deconstructs the memes shaping the modern landscape. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

We Stopped The War Organization, Timothy McVeigh Research (15:21–18:01) The hosts mention a website called We Stopped The War, which features No Agenda content in its news section. One host describes researching Timothy McVeigh's truck bomb diagrams for a segment on Law & Order, jokingly expressing concern that such searches might attract FBI surveillance.

WikiLeaks Iraq War Logs, Daniel Ellsberg, Julian Assange (20:25–24:05) The discussion turns to the massive release of 400,000 Iraq War documents by WikiLeaks. Daniel Ellsberg, famous for the Pentagon Papers, appeared at a London press conference to support Julian Assange. The hosts argue that while the documents confirm government lies and torture, the public reaction has been manipulated to focus on treason rather than the content of the leaks.

The hosts discuss a perceived "war" between the CIA and the Obama administration. They suggest Obama is attempting to implement a version of the British Official Secrets Act in the U.S. to criminalize the handling of classified material by journalists.

Julian Assange CNN Interview, WikiLeaks Organizational Structure (30:48–39:07) The hosts analyze a CNN interview where Julian Assange walked out after being questioned about internal disputes and staff suspensions within WikiLeaks. They argue that WikiLeaks has evolved from a vigilante group into a sophisticated organization with employees. They reiterate the theory that the entire WikiLeaks phenomenon is being used as a pretext to pass a State Secrets Act in the United States.

High-Speed Rail PR, Readers Digest Airline Hit Piece (39:08–45:03) The hosts claim the High-Speed Rail Association hired PR firm Hill & Knowlton to discredit air travel. They point to a Readers Digest cover story and a corresponding CNN interview with Peggy Northrup as evidence. They suggest the author, Michelle Crouch, may be related to a former defense official, Jack Crouch, and that the article's goal is to push travelers toward trains.

Anna Chapman Maxim Cover, Russian Spy Scandal (45:04–46:49) The hosts discuss Russian spy Anna Chapman appearing on the cover of the Russian edition of Maxim magazine. They find it ironic that a woman exposed as a spy in the United States returned to Russia to become a media celebrity and bank employee. They question the lack of transparency regarding the original spy ring story.

Juan Williams NPR Firing, Fox News Contract (46:50–53:31) Juan Williams was fired from NPR after expressing anxiety about people in "Muslim garb" on airplanes during an appearance on Fox News. Following his termination, Williams signed a $2 million contract with Fox News. The hosts critique NPR CEO Vivian Schiller's handling of the situation and her suggestion that Williams should discuss his feelings with a psychiatrist.

Nina Totenberg Controversy, Clarence Thomas Allegations (53:31–57:41) The hosts compare the firing of Juan Williams to past controversial statements by NPR's Nina Totenberg, who once wished AIDS upon Senator Jesse Helms. They also discuss a recent Washington Post interview with Lillian McEwen, a former assistant to Clarence Thomas, who corroborated claims regarding Thomas's inappropriate workplace behavior during the Anita Hill era.

Code For America, Tim O'Reilly, Government 2.0 (57:42–1:03:18) Code For America is criticized as an "Obama scam" designed to recruit tech talent for government projects. The hosts highlight the involvement of Tim O'Reilly, Mark Zuckerberg, and Biz Stone. They point to funding from the Rockefeller and Knight Foundations as evidence of an elitist agenda aimed at creating "Government 2.0" through smartphone applications.

Donation Segment, Sports Betting Karma, De-douching (1:03:19–1:08:34) The hosts read various listener donations, including a $133.33 contribution from Fresno and a $100 donation from Calgary. One listener, Michael from San Diego, donated $70 after losing a bet on the Yankees-Rangers baseball series. The segment includes "de-douching" rituals and requests for good karma from listeners facing medical issues.

Indian Listener Feedback, America.gov Ads (1:08:37–1:12:08) A listener from India provides feedback on the economic difficulty of donating from developing nations. The hosts then discuss a screenshot showing Google Ads for "America.gov" appearing over No Agenda-related content. They explore the America.gov website, labeling it a "Ministry of Truth" featuring state-sanctioned news on Pakistan, Sudan, and biofuels.

Washington D.C. UFO Sightings, Stanley Fulham Predictions (1:12:09–1:14:52) Recent UFO sightings over Washington D.C. involving three lights in formation are discussed. The hosts reference retired NORAD officer Stanley Fulham, who predicted an October 13th unveiling of an alien fleet. They argue that the lack of military response to objects over restricted airspace suggests the events are not conventional aircraft or balloons.

Project Blue Beam, Holographic PsyOps, Skyline Movie (1:14:52–1:21:29) The hosts explore "Project Blue Beam," a theory involving NASA using satellites to project holographic images and sounds to simulate an alien invasion or religious event. They suggest this is a psychological operation to cow the public into submission. They also link these themes to the promotion of the upcoming film "Skyline," which features similar imagery of military helicopters over Los Angeles.

IPBES Biodiversity Initiative, Climate Change Pivot (1:21:30–1:26:42) The hosts identify a shift from "climate change" to "biodiversity" as the primary environmental narrative. They discuss the International Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) meeting in Busan, South Korea. They argue this new framework allows for global resource management and "biodiversity credits," mirroring the cap-and-trade systems proposed for carbon.

Biodiversity Credits, World Bank Reports, Human Resources (1:26:43–1:31:06) The discussion continues on the implementation of biodiversity credit systems, citing reports from the World Bank. The hosts warn that the "biodiversity" meme will soon be applied to "human resources," potentially used to justify population shifts or social engineering. They encourage listeners to monitor the emergence of these terms in mainstream media.

H1N1 Mutation Claims, Hib Virus Vaccine, Big Pharma Revenue (1:31:07–1:37:01) Reports from Brazil suggest the H1N1 swine flu virus is beginning to mutate, which the hosts interpret as a tactic to sell more vaccines. They critique the CDC's promotion of the Hib virus vaccine and the general proliferation of multi-shot vaccination schedules. They argue that pharmaceutical companies use "investor powerpoints" to predict revenues based on these manufactured health crises.

Randy Quaid Hollywood Whack Squad, Michael Jackson Catalog (1:37:02–1:41:45) Actor Randy Quaid and his wife have fled to Canada, claiming a "Hollywood whack squad" is responsible for the deaths of actors like Heath Ledger and David Carradine. The hosts discuss the suspicious nature of Michael Jackson's death and the subsequent commercialization of his music catalog, which is half-owned by Sony Music's licensing arm.

Law & Order Los Angeles, Red Lobster Product Placement (1:41:48–1:44:34) The hosts deconstruct an episode of Law & Order: Los Angeles featuring a female domestic terrorist. They highlight a jarring product placement for Red Lobster during an arrest scene. They argue the show is a "meme fest" designed to program the American mind, specifically promoting the idea that federal authorities are superior to local law enforcement.

Military Tribunals vs Civilian Courts, Law & Order Plot (1:44:35–1:47:59) The Law & Order discussion continues with a focus on the conflict between military and civilian jurisdictions. The episode depicts the executive branch seizing a prisoner for a military tribunal, a plot point the hosts say mirrors real-world debates regarding the prosecution of terrorists. They note the show's portrayal of civilian courts as more effective at securing convictions.

Anwar al-Awlaki Pentagon Luncheon, Sharia Law Memes (1:47:59–1:51:52) Fox News reported that Al-Qaeda figure Anwar al-Awlaki attended a luncheon at the Pentagon shortly after 9/11. The hosts suggest al-Awlaki is a CIA asset being protected by the military. They link this to Law & Order episodes and Juan Williams's comments, arguing that a coordinated "smoke screen of memes" is being used to foster fear of Muslims and Sharia law.

Obama Las Vegas Pep Rally, Staged Audiences (1:51:53–1:54:00) President Obama held a campaign rally in Las Vegas for Senator Harry Reid. The hosts criticize Obama's "cocky" demeanor and the use of a "cast" audience—specifically staged college students who nod and smile in approval behind the President. They argue the event was a hollow display of cliches with no substantive messaging.

Haiti Cholera Outbreak, Clinton Foundation Funding (1:54:01–1:58:37) A cholera outbreak in Haiti has killed over 135 people and infected hundreds more. The hosts point out that cholera was not present in Haiti for decades and was likely introduced by UN troops or relief workers. They question where the billions of dollars in aid money went, noting that the Clinton Foundation has yet to file its Form 990 for the period.

United States of Europe, Brussels Residence Palace (1:58:38–2:00:49) The President of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, is redoing an office building in Brussels at a cost of $500 million. The building previously served as the Nazi headquarters during the occupation of Belgium. The hosts discuss how the Lisbon Treaty is being modified by Germany and France without public votes, effectively creating a "United States of Europe."

Proposition 19, Willie Nelson Marijuana PSA (2:00:49–2:03:18) As California prepares to vote on Proposition 19 to legalize marijuana, Willie Nelson released a PSA for NORML.
