## About this episode

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is under fire for a linguistic shift that replaces constitutional rights with values. This rhetorical pivot coincides with the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, as the TSA implements confusing new opt-out protocols at airports like Seattle-Tacoma. While the Metropolitan Transportation Authority aggressively trademarks the See Something Say Something slogan, officials warn of lone wolf threats based on intelligence recovered from the Osama bin Laden raid.

In the Republican primary, Ron Paul challenged Bill O'Reilly on the constitutional status of gold and silver while warning that border fences could eventually be used to keep American capital from fleeing economic instability. Meanwhile, Texas Governor Rick Perry faces scrutiny over his Gardasil executive order, and Newt Gingrich claims the DHS was originally designed to survive three simultaneous nuclear strikes. Globally, the Central Bank of Nigeria is shifting foreign reserves into the Chinese Yuan, and Human Rights Watch reports that 20,000 surface-to-air missiles have vanished from Libyan stockpiles.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze the McDonald's Peace Theory against the lack of franchises in Syria and Libya. The duo also explores the Museum of Obsolete Objects, a propaganda campaign by Hill & Knowlton that labels incandescent bulbs and traditional radios as relics of the past. A special knighting ceremony honors Sir Nico DeHaan for his support of the value-for-value model.
