## About this episode

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Georgia and Turkey this week to solidify Western energy interests and coordinate a post-Assad transition in Syria. The diplomatic tour focused on the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline and Arctic mineral rights under the Law of the Sea Treaty, positioning the United States against Russian influence in the Black Sea and North Pole. These maneuvers coincide with reports of U.S. and Canadian firms securing $20 billion in Haitian mining permits following the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund initiatives.

In domestic politics, Governor Scott Walker survived a historic recall election in Wisconsin, dealing a significant blow to organized labor despite media narratives regarding campaign spending disparities. Meanwhile, the Obama administration faced scrutiny after investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill labeled drone strikes in Yemen as mass murder on MSNBC. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta defended these operations as a matter of American sovereignty during his visit to India, even as USAID canceled a $20 million contract for the Pakistani version of Sesame Street due to local corruption allegations.

Webster Tarpley appeared on the Alex Jones Show to allege that billionaire Peter Thiel used Ron Paul as a stalking horse for Mitt Romney during the 2012 primaries. The episode also features a breakdown of the Bilderberg Group meeting in Virginia, where Garry Kasparov and Anatoly Chubais were spotted among the global elite. John C. Dvorak celebrates his daughter Mimi Dvorak’s high school graduation while Adam Curry recounts a high-stakes roadside assistance incident involving the Austin Police Department and a helicopter.

An analysis of the Wisconsin recall election spending reveals that while Scott Walker raised over $30 million, Tom Barrett's reported $4 million figure only covered a two-month period.

The hosts suggest the media emphasizes spending gaps to encourage more political donations.

### 15. Abu Yahya al-Libi Death, Al-Qaeda Number Two Claims (1:06:43–1:17:58)

U.S. forces killed Abu Yahya al-Libi in a drone strike in northwest Pakistan, with the Obama administration and major news outlets labeling him the "number two" leader of Al-Qaeda. However, an investigation into the State Department's "Rewards for Justice" website shows al-Libi was only valued at $1 million, significantly less than other top-tier terrorists. The hosts argue that the "number two" designation is a recurring propaganda tool used to inflate the significance of drone operations.

During a House Budget Committee hearing, Chairman Paul Ryan and CBO Director Doug Elmendorf discussed the long-term fiscal challenges facing the U.S. The hosts criticize the hearing for focusing on entitlement spending while ignoring the massive, unaudited military budget.
