# Persistent Jet Contrails > Mainstream media alliances with WikiLeaks come under fire while Saudi-funded textbooks and GPS tracking for truant students signal a new era of domestic and international surveillance. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 258 - **Published:** 2010-12-05 - **Length:** 2h 28m - **Topics:** [WikiLeaks](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/wikileaks.md), Saudi Lobby, [Geoengineering](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/geoengineering.md), Food Safety Act, [GPS Tracking](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/gps-tracking.md), [ABC News](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/abc-news.md) - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/258-persistent-jet-contrails ## About this episode Julian Assange and WikiLeaks face scrutiny as raw cable leaks reveal a strategic partnership with mainstream outlets like The New York Times and Der Spiegel. While media narratives frame Ron Paul as an Assange supporter, the Texas Congressman clarifies his stance as a defense of transparency rather than a personal endorsement. The emergence of Ben Sherwood as ABC News president further complicates the media landscape, given his sister Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall’s high-ranking role in the Obama administration. Saudi Arabia exerts significant influence over American policy through massive donations to the University of Arkansas and the funding of extremist textbooks in Virginia schools. Leaked documents suggest the Saudi monarchy views a nuclear Iran as a greater existential threat than Israel, potentially sparking a regional arms race. Domestically, the Food Safety Modernization Act integrates the Department of Homeland Security into agricultural oversight, while Judge David Kobos implements GPS ankle monitors to track truant students in Midland, Texas. Rosalind Peterson of California Skywatch presents evidence of geoengineering through persistent jet contrails and atmospheric chemical releases. She cites spikes in aluminum and barium in California drinking water as evidence of unconsented experiments. John C. Dvorak celebrates his new amateur radio license as a vital communication backstop, while Adam Curry critiques the fictional video enhancement tropes found in the television drama Blue Bloods. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
