While Senator John McCain visits Benghazi to advocate for rebel support, evidence suggests the conflict may be driven by Gaddafi’s plan to establish a gold-backed Dinar to bypass the U.S. fractional reserve banking system. Dutch Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal joins the coalition calling for regime change, utilizing State Department-scripted rhetoric to label Libyan leadership as cronies. Domestically, the Obama administration launches a Department of Justice task force to investigate oil market manipulation while simultaneously proposing the demolition of foreclosed homes to stabilize housing prices. In the medical sector, new guidelines reclassify Alzheimer’s to include pre-symptomatic stages, a move critics claim expands the market for upcoming vaccines like Bapineuzumab. This episode features a domestic injury involving an exploding Pillsbury biscuit tin and a critique of the EPA’s climate change rap song created by Ted Coopwood. Adam Curry and John C. Dykstra analyze the linguistic milieu of the State Department and the surprising wife-swapping underground discovered within the nomadic RV community. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

The conversation touches on the difficulty of valuing private assets like real estate and "goodwill" in financial reporting.

Hillary Clinton, Uri Rosenthal, 400 Years of History Claim (27:03–31:56) Secretary of State Hillary Clinton meets with Dutch Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal, sporting a prominent men's gold Rolex watch. During the press event, Clinton references "400 years of history" between the United States and the Netherlands, which the hosts interpret as a specific reference to the founding of New Amsterdam in 1614. The meeting officially focuses on a public-private partnership involving Shell and Phillips to provide cleaner cooking stoves in developing nations.

Libya Conflict, Dutch Military Support, State Department Lexicon (31:57–34:47) Dutch Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal pledges support for NATO's "Unified Protector" campaign in Libya and calls for Muammar Gaddafi to step down. The hosts analyze Rosenthal's use of the word "cronies," suggesting the speech was scripted by the U.S. State Department as the term is not typical for a Dutch official. They argue this reflects a specific linguistic "milieu" adopted by international political elites.

Media Linguistic Milieu, Corporate Identity, Elite Pronunciation (34:47–37:39) A discussion ensues regarding how individuals in specific professional circles, such as the State Department or major tech companies, adopt unique linguistic patterns and pronunciations. One host shares an anecdote about being able to identify employees of AMD, Dell, and Microsoft based solely on their appearance and mannerisms at an awards ceremony in Brazil. They note the shift in pronunciation of words like "allies" among political elites.

Serbia Comparison, Libya Mission Creep, Military Materiel (37:41–42:35) Hillary Clinton compares the current intervention in Libya to the 78-day bombing of Serbia, counseling patience for the mission's resolution. The hosts contrast this with President Obama's earlier claim that the transition would take "days, not weeks." They critique the use of specialized military terminology like "materiel" and "surgical strikes" as a way for elites to sanitize the reality of the conflict.

Golden Dinar Theory, African Currency Standard, China Influence (42:36–45:05) The hosts explore a theory that the true motive for the Libya intervention is Muammar Gaddafi's plan to establish a "Golden Dinar" as a pan-African currency. This gold-backed standard would potentially allow African nations and China to bypass the U.S. dollar, threatening the fractional reserve banking system. They debate whether this financial shift is a more likely catalyst for war than humanitarian concerns or oil.

John McCain Libya Visit, Rebel Support, Political Theater (45:05–47:19) Senator John McCain visits Benghazi, Libya, to meet with rebel forces and advocate for increased U.S. air support. The hosts question why a "renegade senator" is conducting his own diplomacy without significant pushback from the Obama administration. They suggest McCain's visit is part of a coordinated effort to prepare the American public for the introduction of ground troops.

Boots on the Ground, Media Rhetoric, Military Mentoring (47:19–51:27) Fox News analyst Ralph Peters defends the Libyan rebels and criticizes President Obama's cautious approach, while the UK and France begin sending "mentors" and "consultants" to the region. The hosts highlight the dehumanizing nature of the term "boots on the ground," noting its sudden ubiquity in media. They argue that "mentoring missions" are merely a euphemism for deploying active military personnel.

Syria Unrest, Twitter Spam Bots, Clinton Playbook (51:28–55:00) The Obama administration issues a statement opposing the Syrian government's treatment of its citizens, following a pattern the hosts call the "LegalZoom" of regime change. The British Foreign Office urges its citizens to leave Syria as social media accounts and "Twitter spam bots" signal escalating protests. The hosts suggest Hillary Clinton is applying the same "Serbia playbook" to the situation in Syria.

Justin Bieber Indonesia Threat, Uganda Military Exercises, Atlas Drop (55:02–57:40) A reported terrorist plot to bomb a Justin Bieber concert in Indonesia is discussed as a potential "false flag" indicator for the region. Meanwhile, the U.S. Air Force begins joint military exercises in Uganda known as "Atlas Drop 201." The hosts question the necessity of these foreign military engagements and the "Atlas Shrugged" naming convention while domestic economic issues persist.

Chinese High-Speed Rail Debt, National Train Day, Gladys Knight (57:41–1:03:16) The hosts debunk the "model" of Chinese high-speed rail, noting that the former Minister of Railways, Liu Zijun, was fired for embezzlement as the project amassed $271 billion in debt. Ticket sales are reportedly unable to cover the interest on the debt, and speeds have been reduced due to safety concerns. Domestically, Amtrak promotes "National Train Day" featuring Gladys Knight, which the hosts mock as ineffective marketing.

Earth Day Confessions, EPA Climate Change Rap, Ted Coopwood (1:03:17–1:08:05) CNN's TJ Holmes "confesses" his environmental sins for Earth Day, while the EPA releases a climate change rap song for children. The hosts critique the song's lyrics—which include claims that "bears don't know when to take a nap"—as low-quality propaganda. They identify the creator as Ted Coopwood of the EPA's Office of Children's Health Protection.

Ted Coopwood, Get Cooped, Government Contracting Scams (1:08:06–1:11:21) An investigation into Ted Coopwood, the creator of the EPA rap, reveals his personal brand "Get Cooped," where he markets himself as a certified motivational speaker and "performance nutritionist." The hosts suggest his involvement with the EPA is a lucrative government contracting "scam" similar to expensive, underperforming government websites. They mock the various "certifications" Coopwood claims to hold.

NPR Corporate Sponsors, Halo Effect, Public Radio Advertising (1:11:23–1:15:37) The hosts review the 2009 list of NPR corporate sponsors, which includes major entities like ABC/Disney, Apple, Toyota, and Microsoft. They argue that "sponsorship" has evolved into traditional advertising, creating a "halo effect" for creepy companies. The discussion questions why public companies like Disney would fund a competitor and asserts that these donations compromise NPR's ability to conduct investigative journalism on its donors.

NPR Pledge Drive Opt-Out, Commercial vs. Non-Commercial Media (1:15:37–1:17:24) NPR introduces a new $45 digital stream that allows listeners to bypass pledge drives, a move the hosts compare to paying a subway musician to stop playing. They define "commercial" media as a model where the audience is the product sold to advertisers, whereas their own show treats the programming as the product. They emphasize their "value-for-value" model as the only way to remain truly independent.

Listener Donations, International Support, 111 Club (1:17:25–1:22:58) The hosts read a series of donations from listeners in Saudi Arabia, Germany, Israel, and various U.S. states. Notable contributions include a "111 Club" donation from a listener in Israel who survived a train crash and a birthday donation from a listener in California. They acknowledge the "value-for-value" support that keeps the show running without corporate influence.

Knighting of Sir David Dolson, Exploding Biscuit Tin Incident (1:26:06–1:29:07) David Dolson is knighted into the "No Agenda Round Table" for his $1,000 contribution to the show. Following the ceremony, one host recounts a domestic injury involving an exploding Pillsbury biscuit tin that caused blood blisters on his finger. The anecdote leads to a discussion about the dangers of pressurized food containers and the litigious nature of modern society.

Housing Crisis, Tearing Down Foreclosures, Stylish Wi-Fi Claims (1:29:07–1:35:47) CNBC's Aaron Burnett and analysts from Deutsche Bank discuss a proposal to tear down abandoned or foreclosed homes to reduce excess supply. Burnett suggests that even newly built homes should be demolished because their "fixtures and Wi-Fi" will not be "stylish" by the time the market recovers. The hosts react with disbelief to the idea of destroying functional housing based on aesthetic trends and "Keynesian" ditch-digging logic.

Oil Price Task Force, Obama Three-Point Plan, Market Speculation (1:35:46–1:40:47) President Obama announces a Department of Justice task force to investigate fraud and manipulation in the oil markets as gas prices rise. The hosts point out the irony of Obama mocking politicians who offer "three-point plans" immediately before delivering his own three-point plan. They speculate that the announcement may be a "triggering mechanism" for speculators to consolidate or short their positions.

Alzheimer's Redefinition, Vaccine PR, Bapineuzumab Testing (1:40:50–1:45:32) New medical guidelines reclassify Alzheimer's into three stages, including a "pre-symptomatic" phase where patients show no outward signs of memory loss. The hosts argue this is a public relations campaign by the pharmaceutical industry to expand the market for upcoming vaccines like Bapineuzumab. They suggest the goal is to "ratchet down" dementia criteria so that healthy individuals can be medicated preventatively.

Vaccine Mandates, Statin Side Effects, Grief as Disorder (1:45:32–1:50:42) The discussion continues on the pharmaceutical industry, noting that statins have been linked to memory loss, potentially creating a secondary market for Alzheimer's drugs. They also cover efforts by psychiatrists to label "grief" as a mental disorder and the push for mandatory vaccines for HPV and shingles.

Sandals Resort Ad, Double Entendre, Wife Swapping RV Underground (1:50:42–1:55:29) The hosts analyze a Sandals Resort advertisement, claiming it is filled with sexual double entendres like "liquid assets" and "mergers happen daily." This leads to a discovery of a "wife swapping underground" within the RV community, specifically referencing sites like "Sir Cram-a-lot Inn." They joke about the unexpected crossover between professional couples and the nomadic lifestyle.

FBI Discrediting Campaign, Robert Mueller, Misconduct Reports (1:55:32–2:00:14) A series of media reports target the FBI, including a claim that the bureau has not "solved" a case since 2001 and a CNN investigation into 1,000 cases of agent misconduct. The hosts suggest this is a coordinated effort to discredit the FBI in favor of the growing power of the Department of Homeland Security. They also note the transition of Leon Panetta from the CIA to the Department of Defense.

TSA Viper Teams, Terror Drills, Public Harassment (2:00:14–2:01:55) TSA "Viper Teams" conduct a multi-county terror drill in Florida, stopping and searching commuters at Tri-Rail stations in West Palm Beach and Miami.

They criticize the lack of public resistance to these unannounced security screenings.

George W. Bush Portrait Ceremony, The Onion, Media Literacy (2:01:57–2:07:38) George W. Bush returns to Washington for the unveiling of Senator Bill Frist's portrait, delivering a speech filled with his trademark self-deprecating humor. The hosts realize that a previous story about FBI Director Robert Mueller was actually from The Onion, leading to a discussion on the high production value of modern satire. They debate how satirical content can inadvertently contribute to real-world narratives about agency incompetence.

Gwyneth Paltrow Glee Clip, Culture of Insults, Celebrity Defense (2:07:38–2:09:56) A clip of Gwyneth Paltrow on the show "Glee" sparks a debate on the "culture of insults" and the anonymity of the internet. While Bill O'Reilly's audience labeled her a "patriot" for the sentiment, other media outlets attacked her for being a wealthy celebrity complaining about public perception. The hosts mention that "Dilbert" creator Scott Adams wrote a piece defending Paltrow's right to address the issue.

EU Border Controls, Schengen Agreement, North African Refugees (2:09:56–2:14:54) France proposes a mechanism to suspend the Schengen Agreement and re-impose border controls following an influx of thousands of refugees from Libya and Tunisia. Italy has been granting temporary visas to these migrants, allowing them to travel toward France, which has caused a political crisis in Paris. The hosts suggest this move signals the "beginning of the end" for the borderless European Union.

The hosts read through the list of titles, highlighting redundancies such as multiple "Deputy Social Secretaries" and "Directors of Advance." They argue this represents an egregious waste of taxpayer funds during a period of domestic economic hardship.

This occurs while the EU imposes strict austerity measures on Greece, which is currently selling off national assets to pay back loans. The hosts characterize the MEPs as "elitist, undemocratic" figures who refuse to share the financial burden of the Eurozone crisis.
