## About this episode

President Barack Obama faces scrutiny for a series of glib remarks regarding Roswell and predator drones while Malia Obama was caught in the Guerrero earthquake. The White House reportedly pressured major outlets like Yahoo News and Huffington Post to scrub coverage of the First Daughter's Mexico trip, citing security concerns. This move coincides with a new executive order on national defense resources that critics argue grants the Department of Homeland Security unprecedented power to seize private farms and retail food supplies.

In Central Africa, thirty-three U.S. Senators introduced a resolution to expand AFRICOM logistical support under the NDAA to hunt Joseph Kony, while Kony 2012 creator Jason Russell was diagnosed with brief reactive psychosis following a public breakdown. Meanwhile, Australian coal magnate Clive Palmer accused the CIA of funding the Green Party via the Rockefeller Foundation to sabotage domestic exports. In the United States, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter implemented a ban on outdoor feeding of the homeless, and Austin sustainable markets began enforcing laws against free honey samples, signaling a tightening of local agricultural regulations.

MSNBC host Al Sharpton provided a moment of levity by repeatedly confusing Trayvon Martin's Skittles with skillets during a teleprompter gaffe. The program also explores the technical composition of winter gasoline blends and the curious case of the nodding disease outbreak in Uganda. New knights Mitchell Sullivan and Sir Mark are officially welcomed into the No Agenda Round Table as the show continues its transition to a pure value-for-value model.

### 2. Jason Russell, Brief Reactive Psychosis, and Kony 2012 (3:07–8:07)

Jason Russell, the creator of the Kony 2012 viral video, was diagnosed with brief reactive psychosis following a public breakdown in San Diego. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) defines this condition as a short-term display of psychotic behavior triggered by extreme stress. Reports from The Advocate suggest Russell's organization, Invisible Children, received funding from the National Christian Foundation, which has been linked to anti-gay legislation in Uganda.

### 3. Senate Resolution 33, AFRICOM, and Central Africa Military Deployment (8:09–12:43)

Thirty-three U.S. Senators introduced a bipartisan resolution to increase military support in Central Africa to counter Joseph Kony and the Lord's Resistance Army. The resolution formalizes the role of AFRICOM and expands the mission from advisory roles to providing logistical support and services under the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This move is characterized as a strategic effort to establish a permanent military presence in the region to counter Chinese influence.

### 5. Barack Obama, Roswell Gaffes, and Predator Drone Jokes (14:27–18:12)

President Barack Obama faced criticism for making "arrogant" jokes during a visit to Roswell, New Mexico, where he used the phrase "if I told you, I'd have to kill you." The commentary compares this to a previous joke Obama made about using predator drones on the Jonas Brothers. The hosts argue that such humor is inappropriate for a Commander-in-Chief with actual lethal authority.

### 8. No Agenda Domain Name Forwards and Knight Rings (32:42–38:23)

The hosts announce plans to phase out the registration of humorous domain name forwards and the distribution of physical knight rings by the end of the year. They review recent domain acquisitions related to the Gates Foundation and Kony 2012, such as "koneydied.com" and "jasonrussellisgay.com." Future recognition for high-level donors may be modeled after the Order of Canada or British royal honors.

### 9. National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order and Big Agriculture (38:25–41:18)

A recent executive order regarding national defense resources preparedness is analyzed for its potential to allow the government to seize farms and retail operations.

### 10. UN Sustainable Development, Scientific American, and World Government (41:20–45:41)

Scientific American published an article advocating for an "effective world government" with transnational enforcement powers to address climate change. This aligns with United Nations documents regarding the upcoming Rio+20 summit. The proposal suggests replacing the UN Commission on Sustainable Development with a more powerful council to manage global water, energy, and food security.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has become the primary spokesman for "Sustainia," a sustainability initiative backed by the UN Global Compact and major corporations like Microsoft, GE, and IKEA. The organization aims to create a new narrative for a sustainable future through the "Sustainia Prize." Critics view the project as a rebranding effort to facilitate global governance under the guise of environmentalism.

### 12. Clive Palmer, Australian Coal, and CIA Funding Allegations (53:22–56:06)

Australian coal mogul Clive Palmer accused the Green Party and anti-coal activists of being funded by the CIA via the Rockefeller Foundation. Palmer cited a report titled "How To Stop the Queensland Coal Export Boom" as evidence of foreign interference in Australian politics. He characterized the influence of overseas foundations on domestic environmental policy as "tantamount to treason."

### 13. Keystone XL Pipeline, Energy Tours, and Chinese Solar Tariffs (56:07–59:42)

President Obama announced plans to expedite the permitting process for the southern segment of the Keystone XL pipeline running from Cushing, Oklahoma, to the Gulf Coast. This move is viewed as a political compromise following the administration's earlier rejection of the full 1,700-mile route. Simultaneously, the U.S. increased duties on Chinese solar panels as trade tensions between the two nations escalate.

### 15. Cymbalta Advertisements and TV Show Product Integration (1:02:46–1:06:45)

The NBC show "Smash" is criticized for allegedly coordinating its dramatic content with pharmaceutical advertisements. A specific instance is cited where a character's depressive episode transitioned directly into a commercial for the antidepressant Cymbalta, using similar musical cues. The segment highlights the extensive list of side effects disclosed in drug advertisements, including "unusual changes in behavior."

### 16. Food Stamp Credit Cards and JP Morgan Chase (1:06:46–1:09:11)

The modern food stamp program, managed by JP Morgan Chase, operates via electronic debit cards rather than paper stamps. Radio advertisements are promoting the program to seniors and diverse demographics to increase enrollment. Critics argue that the aggressive promotion of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) serves as a method of "bribing the electorate" while generating transaction fees for big banks.

### 17. Philadelphia Homeless Feeding Ban and Mayor Michael Nutter (1:09:12–1:12:06)

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter announced a ban on outdoor feeding of the homeless in city parks, citing concerns over food safety and sanitation. Volunteers and activists have criticized the move as an attack on charity. The hosts compare the ban to similar measures in San Francisco, arguing that the "public health" rationale is a pretext for removing the homeless from public view.

### 18. Farmer's Market Regulations and Honey Sampling Laws (1:12:06–1:15:33)

New regulations at Austin sustainable living markets have made it illegal for vendors to provide free samples of products like honey. Vendors claim they face arrest if they allow customers to taste products before purchase, though selling the same product remains legal. The hosts suggest these "health and safety" rules are pushed by large agricultural lobbyists to disadvantage small, independent producers.

### 19. Ron Paul on Jay Leno and Brokered Convention Strategy (1:15:35–1:23:30)

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to discuss his strategy for a brokered convention. Paul explained that if no candidate reaches 1,144 delegates on the first ballot, delegates become "uncommitted" and can vote their conscience. Paul also defended his decision to refuse Secret Service protection, calling it a form of "welfare" that costs taxpayers $50,000 per day.

### 20. Timothy Geithner, Debt Ceiling, and Congressional Testimony (1:23:31–1:26:19)

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was questioned by Representative Trey Gowdy regarding the federal debt limit and the necessity of future increases. Geithner admitted that failing to raise the debt ceiling would make the government "uncomfortable" but struggled to provide specific mathematical projections for long-term borrowing needs. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke also provided testimony, dismissing the feasibility of returning to a gold standard.

### 21. Greek Economic Crisis, Yogurt Protests, and TEMS Currency (1:26:21–1:32:37)

As Greece's Independence Day approaches on March 25, citizens are reportedly preparing "yogurt protests" against political leaders. The IMF is demanding an additional 12 billion euros in austerity measures, while one-third of Greek land and state assets are being prepared for sale to entities like Russia's Gazprom. In response to the liquidity crisis, a virtual cashless trading network called TEMS has emerged for citizens to exchange services.

### 22. European Labor Statistics and Class Warfare (1:32:38–1:36:46)

OECD data reveals that Greek workers log more annual hours (2,017) than any other European population, contradicting the "lazy Greek" stereotype. In contrast, workers in the Netherlands and Germany log the fewest hours. The analysis suggests that the Eurozone crisis is being used as a tool for "class warfare" to strip away social and political gains from the working class across Europe.

### 23. NPR Corporate Underwriting and Five-Hour Energy Promotion (1:36:47–1:41:07)

NPR is accused of running a "promotional scam" by airing a five-minute segment on Five-Hour Energy and its founder, Manoj Bhargava, without explicitly disclosing the company's status as a major corporate underwriter. The segment featured a reporter "hooked" on the product, which the hosts argue blurs the line between journalism and advertising. NPR currently has 175 corporate underwriters but rarely provides on-air disclaimers during related stories.

### 24. Gasoline Blends, Butane Components, and Listener Gripes (1:41:07–1:43:46)

In response to a critical listener letter, the hosts clarify the technical aspects of gasoline production. They explain that butane is a standard component of gasoline, typically making up 2% of the blend in summer and 10% in winter to manage vapor pressure and ensure proper vaporization in cold temperatures.

### 25. Global Producer Donations and Birthday Recognitions (1:43:47–2:00:41)

A lengthy segment features donations from listeners in Minnesota, South Carolina, and Switzerland. Topics mentioned in donor notes include TSA "groping" experiences, Ron Paul's campaign, and the "5150" involuntary psychiatric hold code. The hosts provide "karma" for various personal milestones and birthdays while thanking the "slaves of Gitmo Nation" for their financial support.

### 26. Value-for-Value Model and Interactive Show Philosophy (2:00:41–2:07:29)

The hosts defend the length of the donation segment, arguing it provides unique anecdotes and commentary that traditional media lacks. They emphasize the "value-for-value" model as the future of independent media, encouraging listeners to perform their own research on topics like the recent executive orders. The show is described as an interactive platform where listener input helps shape the deconstruction of news.

### 27. Knighting Ceremony and Potential Midwest Road Trip (2:07:29–2:10:41)

Mitchell Sullivan and Victor Gregg are officially knighted into the "No Agenda Round Table." Following the ceremony, the hosts discuss the possibility of a future mobile tour through the Midwest and the Ozarks. They express concerns about the mechanical reliability of their vehicles when facing the steep terrain of the Rocky Mountains.

### 28. Hezbollah "Lone Wolf" Testimony and The Siege Movie (2:10:41–2:13:17)

Congressional testimony from law enforcement officials warned of "Hezbollah operatives" living in the U.S. as "sleeper cells" ready to strike if Iran is attacked. The hosts dismiss this as fear-mongering and compare the narrative to the 1998 film "The Siege," which they claim prepped the American public for post-9/11 security measures. They argue the FBI often "goads" individuals into participating in manufactured plots.

### 29. Wesley Clark, Seven Countries in Five Years, and Sudan (2:13:18–2:15:42)

A recurring clip of General Wesley Clark is played, in which he describes a 2001 Pentagon memo outlining plans to "take out seven countries in five years." The list included Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. The hosts note that many of these countries have since faced military intervention or internal destabilization as predicted.

### 30. Michael Scheuer, Blowback, and Israel Policy (2:15:42–2:18:47)

Former CIA Bin Laden unit chief Michael Scheuer appeared on Russia Today (RT) to argue that U.S. foreign policy, rather than a hatred of "freedom," is the primary driver of Islamic terrorism. Scheuer criticized the influence of the "Jewish American community" on Congress regarding support for Israel. The hosts suggest that while Scheuer's "blowback" argument aligns with Ron Paul, his comments on ethnic influence may lead to him being banned from mainstream media.

### 31. Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Obama Selective Service, and Forgery Claims (2:18:49–2:22:14)

Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio's investigative team released a presentation alleging that President Obama's Selective Service registration card is a forgery. The claim centers on a postal stamp from 1980 that allegedly uses a two-digit year format and an inverted "80" stamp, which investigators say deviates from standard post office procedures. The hosts discuss the possibility of "dirty tricks" where fraudulent documents are planted to discredit investigators.

### 32. No Agenda News Network and RSS Feed Guidelines (2:22:15–2:23:52)

The hosts provide instructions for the No Agenda News Network, a community-driven news aggregator. They urge users to submit unique, independent reporting rather than mainstream feeds or large alternative sites like InfoWars or Natural News. The goal is to maintain a feed of singular and useful information for the "slaves of Gitmo Nation."

### 33. Toulouse Standoff, Al Qaeda, and Nicolas Sarkozy (2:23:52–2:27:36)

A standoff in Toulouse, France, involving a self-described Al Qaeda militant resulted in the suspect's death after he reportedly jumped from a window. The hosts question the logic of the media reports, including claims that the suspect "confessed" while still holed up in his apartment. They suggest the event may be an "Operation Gladio" style operation intended to boost President Nicolas Sarkozy's re-election prospects.

### 34. Iranian Assassination Logic and Media Skepticism (2:27:36–2:31:55)

An ex-CIA counterterrorism official on CNN argued that Iran was behind attempted assassinations in India and Georgia because the "magnetic bomb" technique matched the method used to kill Iranian scientists in Tehran. The hosts point out the logical flaw: if the same method was used to kill Iranians, it is more likely the work of the same assassin (potentially Mossad or CIA) rather than Iran killing its own scientists.

### 35. Al Sharpton, Skittles vs Skillets, and MSNBC Gaffes (2:31:56–2:37:05)

MSNBC host Al Sharpton faced ridicule for misreading his teleprompter during a segment on the Trayvon Martin case, repeatedly referring to "Skittles" candy as "skillets." The hosts highlight this as an example of the low quality of mainstream cable news commentary. They also revisit other Sharpton gaffes, such as his "resist we much" teleprompter error.

### 36. Nodding Disease in Uganda and Show Outro (2:37:06–2:44:03)

The World Health Organization is monitoring an outbreak of "nodding disease" in Northern Uganda, which affects children and causes seizure-like symptoms. Some media reports have sensationally referred to it as a "zombie virus." The show concludes with a preview of upcoming topics, including George Clooney's activism and a new book on J. Edgar Hoover, before signing off from "Camp Mofo."
