Secretary Janet Napolitano and DHS officials are pivoting toward soft targets like shopping malls and sporting events, encouraging citizens to file Suspicious Activity Reports against their neighbors. This expansion of the See Something, Say Something campaign coincides with a massive PayPal outage that has disrupted independent media funding and sparked a debate over the government's ability to pressure private financial institutions. WikiLeaks continues to dominate the news cycle as cables reveal Secretary of State Hillary Clinton directed agents to harvest biometric data and credit card numbers from foreign diplomats. In Cancun, the COP 16 climate summit has shifted focus toward geoengineering and population reduction as a Plan B for global warming. Meanwhile, Bill Clinton and Salesforce promote luxury hotel developments in post-earthquake Haiti while 1.3 million residents remain in slums. Domestically, the FBI faces scrutiny for entrapment stings involving Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born cleric who previously dined at the Pentagon shortly after the 9/11 attacks. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze the suspicious timing of Anonymous DDoS attacks and the potential for new FCC internet regulations. The duo breaks down the Hollywood mystery surrounding the murder of publicist Ronnie Chasen and the rise of hedge funds bailing out distressed celebrities like Randy Quaid. Mimi Curry provides a tactical guide for opting out of TSA body scanners by questioning agents about the lack of dosimeters on the security line. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Walmart and DHS "See Something Say Something" Partnership (1:51–4:23) Executive Producer Sir Larry Lee expresses outrage over the Walmart corporation cooperating with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Secretary Janet Napolitano appears in a promotional clip encouraging shoppers to report suspicious activity to Walmart managers. The initiative is compared to the surveillance state depicted in George Orwell's 1984.

Janet Napolitano Speech on Hometown Security and Violent Extremism (4:25–10:12) Janet Napolitano addresses law enforcement officials regarding "hometown security" and countering violent extremism (CVE). She defines violent extremism as a radicalized form of violent crime and emphasizes community-oriented policing. The discussion highlights her use of the "See Something, Say Something" campaign to empower individuals as part of the security effort.

Government Funding for Walmart Security Advertisements (10:12–15:33) The federal government reportedly paid Walmart $13 million, possibly from American Recovery Act funds, to run security announcements at checkouts. Janet Napolitano is observed stumbling over the word "ads," preferring to call them "announcements." This payment structure is criticized as a form of bribery rather than traditional unpaid public service announcements.

Soft Targets and Security Scanners in Public Venues (15:34–18:00) DHS is expanding its focus to "soft targets" such as shopping malls, hotels, and sporting events. Janet Napolitano mentions meetings with professional sports commissioners and the NCAA to discuss security measures. The hosts suggest this is a precursor to installing body scanners in non-airport locations.

TSA Choke Points and Potential Terrorist Tactics (18:00–21:08) A prediction is made regarding the danger of security "choke points" created by the TSA, where large crowds gather before screening. It is argued that these areas are more attractive targets for terrorists than the airplanes themselves. While the hosts doubt such attacks will occur in the U.S. due to a lack of actual terrorists, they suggest London is a more likely location.

Suspicious Activity Reports and Neighbor Surveillance (21:10–22:59) The "See Something, Say Something" initiative is linked to the filing of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) against ordinary citizens. The hosts warn that this encourages neighbors to "rat" on one another, creating a paranoid social environment. They note that the United Kingdom has already experienced several years of this type of domestic surveillance.

No Agenda Merchandise and 100-10-10 Coin Logistics (23:01–26:03) The hosts provide updates on various community-led merchandise projects, including paperclip figurines and Gitmo jewelry. They address ongoing shipping delays and logistical issues with the 10-10-10 coin challenge. A commitment is made to rectify order fulfillment problems, though the process has proven costly for the show.

TSA Opt-Out Success and Dosimeter Talking Points (26:04–30:27) Mimi Curry successfully convinced other passengers to opt-out of airport body scanners by using specific talking points. The strategy involves questioning why TSA agents are not allowed to wear dosimeters if the machines are safe. The TSA has reportedly changed its procedure to be less confrontational during the opt-out process.

WikiLeaks Cable Decoding and European Diplomatic Tensions (30:29–33:24) The hosts discuss the slow release of WikiLeaks cables through The Guardian and The New York Times. One cable reveals Herman Van Rompuy's frustrations with the Copenhagen climate summit and his threats to withdraw Belgian troops from Afghanistan. The hosts argue that much of the "leaked" information has already been discussed on No Agenda. Keywords: [wikileaks](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/wikileaks.md), [herman van rompuy](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/herman-van-rompuy.md), [copenhagen](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/copenhagen.md), [afghanistan](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/afghanistan.md), [cables](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/cables.md) [Chapter transcript](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/259-lucy-napolitano-in-yemen/chapter/10.md) ### 11. Anonymous DDoS Attacks and Internet Regulation (33:25–34:57) The distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks by the group Anonymous against PayPal and Visa are criticized as counterproductive. The hosts argue these attacks provide the government with a pretext to regulate and take control of the internet. They suggest the timing aligns suspiciously with FCC discussions on net neutrality.

WikiLeaks Media Spectacle and FCC Control (34:58–38:49) The media coverage of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks is characterized as a staged spectacle. The hosts question why the government hasn't seized WikiLeaks' DNS as they have with other sites if the threat were genuine. They express concern that the FCC will use the chaos to justify taking over cable and internet infrastructure. Keywords: [julian assange](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/julian-assange.md), [cnn](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/cnn.md), [fcc](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/fcc.md), [net neutrality](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/net-neutrality.md), [dns](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/dns.md) [Chapter transcript](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/259-lucy-napolitano-in-yemen/chapter/12.md) ### 13. China's Economic Expansion in Africa (38:49–42:16) A WikiLeaks cable highlights U.S. concerns regarding China's aggressive economic involvement in Africa. The BBC reports on China's strategy of building infrastructure like roads and schools to facilitate resource extraction. The hosts note that this "revelation" has been common knowledge in alternative news circles for years.

Judge Napolitano and Ron Paul on Government Bullying (42:17–44:33) Judge Andrew Napolitano and Congressman Ron Paul discuss the government's role in pressuring private companies like PayPal and Visa to cut off WikiLeaks. They argue this sets a dangerous precedent for government interference in business and journalism. Ron Paul emphasizes the need for transparency within the Federal Reserve rather than focusing solely on diplomatic cables.

Redefining Journalism and Licensing Requirements (44:34–46:48) Congressman Ron Paul warns against legislative attempts to redefine the word "journalist" to exclude independent publishers. The hosts discuss the possibility of the government requiring journalism licenses, similar to policies in Brazil. They argue this is an attack on the First Amendment intended to stifle dissent on the internet.

Kindle WikiLeaks and the Golden Age of the Internet (46:49–49:23) Amazon is selling categorized WikiLeaks cables for the Kindle despite refusing to host the WikiLeaks website. The hosts reiterate that the "golden age" of the unregulated internet is ending as the government moves toward regulation under the guise of net neutrality and protection from terrorism.

WikiLeaks Disinformation and National Enquirer for Elites (49:24–52:14) The hosts warn of disinformation circulating as fake WikiLeaks cables, such as a debunked report about the "Norway spiral" and a presidential bunker. They describe the actual cables as "the National Enquirer for ugly people," providing catty entertainment for political elites rather than groundbreaking revelations.

Hillary Clinton and Diplomatic Credit Card Tracking (52:15–55:42) WikiLeaks cables suggest Secretary of State Hillary Clinton directed agents to obtain credit card numbers and biometric data of foreign diplomats. The discussion also covers how the U.S. government acts as a shill for American credit card companies in negotiations with Russia. The hosts characterize this as blatant corporatism.

Real-Time Credit Card Tracking and FBI Entrapment (55:42–58:11) The hosts discuss reports that the government is tracking domestic credit card purchases in real-time without warrants. They also critique recent FBI "terror" stings, arguing that the agency often lures "dumb kids" into fake plots to manufacture arrests for crimes of stupidity rather than actual threats.

Beverly Hills Police Press Conference on Ronnie Chasen (58:11–1:03:40) The Beverly Hills Police Department holds a press conference regarding the death of Hollywood publicist Ronnie Chasen. They claim a suspect, Harold Smith, killed himself with the same gun used on Chasen and suggest the murder was a random robbery attempt by a man on a bicycle. The hosts express deep skepticism regarding the "random act" theory.

Media Blather and Hollywood Messaging (1:03:41–1:06:46) Headline News (HLN) and other outlets are criticized for their speculative coverage of the Ronnie Chasen murder. The hosts argue the "random robbery" narrative is a message to Hollywood elites that they are not safe. They suggest the hit was a professional warning related to the PR industry and money.

Randy Quaid and Celebrity Extortion (1:09:42–1:12:51) A Vanity Fair hit piece on Randy Quaid and his wife is analyzed as part of a broader trend of controlling and extorting wealthy celebrities.

PBS Fundraiser and The Beatles "Love" Special (1:12:53–1:17:56) PBS is criticized for using a Cirque du Soleil Beatles special as a fundraising tool, which the hosts view as a commercial venture for the Michael Jackson estate.

Carbon Market Scams and Global Standards (1:29:21–1:31:34) The discussion continues on the technicalities of carbon markets and the "transparency" of measuring emissions. Hedegaard expresses frustration that the U.S. Senate has not passed new climate legislation. The hosts characterize the entire carbon trading system as a derivative-style scam designed for financial institutions.

Geoengineering as Plan B for Climate Change (1:31:35–1:34:14) With climate treaties failing, scientists in Cancun are discussing "Plan B," which involves large-scale geoengineering. Proposals include spraying sea salt into clouds to reflect sunlight and planting agave in arid lands to store carbon. The hosts link this to previous discussions about chemtrails and atmospheric manipulation.

Population Reduction and Economic Growth Madness (1:34:14–1:36:10) A scientist at the Cancun summit argues that the true solution to climate change is global population reduction. The crowd's enthusiastic response to the idea of "ending the madness" of population growth is highlighted. The hosts compare these suggestions to China's one-child policy and "biodiversity fees."

Bill Clinton at Salesforce and Haiti Redevelopment (1:36:11–1:38:46) Bill Clinton spoke at the Salesforce Dreamforce conference, promoting high-speed rail and discussing his fund's work in Haiti. The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund reportedly gave $800,000 to Architecture for Humanity.

Luxury Hotels in Post-Earthquake Haiti (1:38:46–1:41:56) Daily Finance reports that luxury hotels in Port-au-Prince are thriving and fully booked by foreign aid workers and diplomats.

P. Diddy and the High-Speed Rail Program (1:41:57–1:45:23) The hosts analyze P. Diddy's new album "Last Train to Paris" and its associated marketing as a propaganda tool for high-speed rail. Diddy's website features a French train ticket, signaling a shift from his usual themes of private jets and luxury cars.

Bill O'Reilly and Geraldo Rivera on Military Recruitment (1:45:24–1:50:39) Bill O'Reilly and Geraldo Rivera criticize a University of Washington professor who compared military recruitment to "predatory grooming." During the segment, O'Reilly incorrectly claims that soldiers can simply "leave" the military if they don't like it. The hosts mock this ignorance of military law and the reality of AWOL consequences.

CSI New York and the "Un-American" Professor (1:50:40–1:54:24) A clip from CSI: NY depicts a "conspiracy theorist" professor being labeled as anti-American for discussing water fluoridation and chemtrails. The hosts identify this as media programming designed to marginalize anyone questioning government narratives. They contrast the fictional professor's "un-American" views with the reality of geoengineering plans.

Special Victims Unit and "Creep Tweets" (1:54:26–1:56:44) A Law & Order: SVU clip introduces the concept of "creep tweets," where neighborhood watch groups use Twitter to track sexual predators. The hosts suggest this is another form of media conditioning to encourage citizen surveillance and vigilante behavior, fitting the "See Something, Say Something" theme.

Anwar al-Awlaki and the New Face of Terror (1:56:46–2:01:19) ABC News reports on the "polished" propaganda videos of American-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen. The media highlights his "corporate" look and use of professional microphones. The hosts argue that Awlaki is being positioned as the new Bin Laden to justify military operations in Yemen and internet censorship.

Awlaki's 2001 Pentagon Lunch and Media Ousters (2:01:20–2:05:27) A 2001 report is revisited, confirming that Anwar al-Awlaki was invited to the Pentagon for lunch just weeks after the 9/11 attacks. The hosts suggest this indicates he is a CIA asset or part of a long-term intelligence operation. They speculate that the recent change in leadership at ABC News is related to suppressing such inconvenient facts.

Judge Napolitano Editorial on TSA and WikiLeaks (2:08:17–2:11:48) In a final editorial, Judge Andrew Napolitano rails against the TSA's violation of the Fourth Amendment and the government's attempt to redefine journalism to target WikiLeaks. He argues that the government treats citizens' earnings as its own property and calls for a return to constitutional limits on power.
