Dvorak challenge the media-driven strategy of tension following the Sandy Hook shooting as the 2012 Mayan apocalypse looms. The hosts analyze footage of Robbie Parker and the subsequent characterization of Adam Lanza, questioning the official narrative while critiquing Piers Morgan and Rachel Maddow for their rhetoric on gun control and 3D-printed firearms. They argue that the Connecticut State Police and federal agencies are leveraging the tragedy to discredit independent internet research through threats of criminal investigation for misinformation. Secondary reports cover the Accountability Review Board findings on the Benghazi attack, leading to the resignation of four State Department officials under Victoria Nuland. The hosts debunk viral rumors linking the LIBOR scandal to the Aurora and Newtown shootings while highlighting Michael Harris’s claims on Iranian Press TV regarding Zionist involvement. Additional coverage includes the sentencing of celebrity hacker Christopher Cheney, the acquittal of a Congolese warlord at the International Criminal Court, and a leaked IPCC report suggesting cosmic rays influence global warming. In the United Kingdom, a High Court ruling forced seven-year-old Neon Roberts into radiotherapy against parental consent, while the UN flagged software-defined radio as a potential terrorist communication tool. Adam Curry recounts his days in pirate radio, admitting to using technical tricks to fake live satellite interviews with stars like Janet Jackson to create media magic. The episode features a festive yet cynical atmosphere with a Gitmo Nation Christmas Carol by Scott McKenzie and a knighting ceremony for Sir Thomas of the Apocalypse. Despite the global panic over the December 21st deadline, the duo maintains their value-for-value model while mocking the rise of the noodle boy generation. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
