# Husslin' for Humanity > A subway theft in Spain reveals diplomatic failures while corporate titans and the White House forge a controversial new alliance to out-hustle the global economy. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 280 - **Published:** 2011-02-20 - **Length:** 2h 21m - **Topics:** Madrid theft, Wisconsin protests, Corporate fascism, HBGary leak, Salt Institute, John Wheeler - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/280-husslin-for-humanity ## About this episode John C. Dvorak reports a targeted pickpocketing incident in the Madrid subway involving an elderly accomplice, resulting in the loss of his U.S. passport and credit cards. The theft exposed significant service failures at the U.S. Embassy in Spain and Delta Airlines, both of which remained unresponsive during the President's Day holiday. This personal security breach serves as a backdrop to the escalating civil unrest across Europe and the Middle East. In Madison, Wisconsin, thousands of protesters occupied the state capitol to oppose Governor Scott Walker's move to eliminate collective bargaining for state employees. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama appointed Intel CEO Paul Otellini to an economic advisory board, a move critics label as corporate fascism following a similar appointment for GE chief Jeffrey Immelt. In Washington, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ignored the violent removal of 71-year-old veteran Ray McGovern during her speech on internet freedom, while the widow of former presidential aide John Wheeler claimed her husband was the victim of a professional hit. Further revelations from the HBGary email leak suggest private security firms are actively manipulating social media personas to influence public opinion. Distinctive moments include a formal knighthood ceremony for a listener known as Sir Snortastain, who requested the national anthem be played near his North Pole residence. The hosts also analyze a viral Waka Flocka Flame parody featuring an Obama lookalike and examine the Salt Institute's claim that low-sodium diets are actually fueling the global obesity epidemic. John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry maintain their commitment to a value-for-value model, rejecting all corporate advertising. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
