## About this episode

Gasoline prices are projected to hit six dollars per gallon as a pipeline explosion in Saudi Arabia and tensions with Iran disrupt global energy markets. Secretary of Energy Stephen Chu faces intense scrutiny for policies that critics argue intentionally inflate fuel costs to force a transition toward alternative energy. This economic volatility mirrors the 1972 oil crisis, signaling a potential return to Weimar Republic-style instability as the United States shifts toward becoming a major liquefied natural gas exporter via Sempra Energy.

Geopolitical tensions escalate in Syria as photojournalist Paul Conroy and the organization Avaaz, led by Ricken Patel, are accused of using humanitarian narratives to mask a pipeline war over the Leviathan gas field. While the Sunday Times and Joss Stone bolster media coverage of the Homs conflict, Russian interests through the Shtokman Project and Gazprom prioritize northern routes over Middle Eastern stability. Domestically, the TSA has reclassified screeners as Transportation Security Officers to project law enforcement authority, while Sheriff Joe Arpaio releases new allegations regarding President Obama’s birth certificate and Selective Service documentation.

Rick Santorum’s repetitive use of neuro-linguistic programming triggers is linked to the Mickey Mouse Club theme song, leading to the creation of a peppermint patty and vodka cocktail in his honor. A viral story about orangutans using iPads is dismissed as a coordinated publicity stunt for the iPad 3 launch. The episode concludes with the premiere of Whoop Am Ron, a musical remix featuring the distinct rants of Reverend Manning regarding Ron Paul.

### 10. Doomsday Preppers and Pandemic Drill Ridicule (44:43–49:42)

The National Geographic show Doomsday Preppers is critiqued for its portrayal of a suburban family performing a pandemic drill in isolation suits.

### 12. Paul Conroy, Syria Conflict, and Pipeline Sabotage (52:36–1:03:00)

Freelance photojournalist Paul Conroy's media appearances are analyzed for specific messaging regarding the conflict in Homs, Syria. The hosts suggest that the "massacre" narrative is being used to mask the strategic importance of blowing up pipelines in the Baba Amr neighborhood. They posit that French and Russian interests (Total and Gazprom) are clashing with Anglo-American objectives over the Leviathan gas field.

### 14. Media Propaganda, Joss Stone, and the Leviathan Field (1:09:10–1:14:58)

The Sunday Times is accused of using celebrity singer Joss Stone to bolster the profile of journalist Paul Conroy.

They claim the ultimate goal is to prevent the Russian-French cabal from controlling the Leviathan gas field in the Mediterranean.

### 15. Shtokman Project and Russian Pipeline Strategy (1:14:59–1:21:21)

Adam Curry introduces the Shtokman Project, a massive natural gas venture in the Russian north involving Gazprom and Total. He argues that the chaos in Syria is a secondary concern for Russia, which is more focused on securing its northern pipeline routes to Europe. The hosts debate whether the various oil companies and nations are acting in coordination or as rivals.

### 16. Geopolitical Strategy Debate and Middle East Disarray (1:21:22–1:25:38)

The hosts engage in a heated debate regarding Russia's strategy in the Middle East. One argument suggests Russia has abandoned Syria to NATO to focus on northern gas interests, while the other maintains that the "Seven Sisters" oil companies are always in cahoots. They conclude that the Middle East is entering a period of long-term disarray that will prevent gas extraction from the Leviathan fields.

They discuss how a stronger dollar benefits banks but potentially harms the broader U.S. economy.

### 19. Embedded Advertising on Entertainment Tonight (1:35:26–1:36:57)

A segment on Entertainment Tonight featuring dermatologist Dr. Marni Nussbaum is identified as a "shameless" embedded commercial for Boots No. 7 skin serum. The hosts use this as an example of why the No Agenda value-for-value model is superior to traditional advertising, which compromises editorial integrity.

### 20. Rush Limbaugh, Sandra Fluke, and Citrix Ad Boycott (1:36:59–1:43:15)

Rush Limbaugh faces a massive advertiser boycott, including Citrix (GoToMyPC), after calling law student Sandra Fluke a "slut" during a broadcast about birth control mandates. The hosts analyze the controversy as a planned distraction and note that Limbaugh's syndicator, Premier Radio Networks, is owned by Clear Channel, which has ties to Bain Capital.

### 21. PayPal Censorship and Small Donor Recognition (1:43:16–1:51:04)

The hosts discuss PayPal's recent refusal to process payments for self-publishing platform Smashwords due to "sexy" content. They then transition to reading smaller donations and "karma" requests from listeners in San Francisco, Western Australia, and Victoria. One listener, Nikola Nikolov, requests a birthday shout-out for his wife, Kate.

### 22. Listener Call-outs and Plutonium Physics (1:51:05–1:59:06)

Donations continue with various "de-douching" requests and call-outs of non-donating friends.

The segment concludes with a series of "MILF" and "karma" shots for listeners across North America.

### 24. Knight Foundation Grants and Caucus Devaluation (2:02:56–2:05:12)

The hosts briefly discuss a $5 million grant challenge from the Knight Foundation but decide against pursuing it to avoid editorial interference.

### 26. CIA Heart Attack Gun and Speech Manipulation (2:12:04–2:18:25)

Adam Curry plays a manipulated clip of Barack Obama as an "homage to Breitbart" before discussing the "shut up slave gun," a device that uses audio delay to disrupt a speaker's brain. They also review 1975 Senate testimony regarding a CIA "heart attack gun" that fires frozen toxin darts. Despite the testimony, the hosts remain skeptical of the weapon's practical physics.

### 27. EU Compact Treaty and Greece Debt Downgrade (2:18:25–2:22:06)

The signing of the EU Compact Treaty is described as the "death warrant" of European sovereignty, as it centralizes financial control in Brussels. Greece's credit rating is downgraded by Moody's to "C," the lowest possible rating, signaling an imminent default. The hosts compare the situation in Greece to the ongoing financial struggles in California.

### 28. Sheriff Joe Arpaio and "Pedovania" Corruption (2:22:07–2:29:02)

Sheriff Joe Arpaio holds a press conference alleging forgery in President Obama's birth certificate and Selective Service card. The discussion shifts to systemic corruption in Pennsylvania, referencing the "kids for cash" judicial scandal and various abuse cases.

### 29. TSA Reclassification and Fascist State Literature (2:29:02–2:34:29)

The TSA has officially reclassified screeners as "Transportation Security Officers," a move the hosts argue is intended to give them the appearance of law enforcement authority. They recommend Sinclair Lewis's It Can't Happen Here and Nien Cheng's Life and Death in Shanghai as essential reading for understanding the rise of fascist and communist states.
