## About this episode

The FBI reportedly maintains a six-week cycle for announcing foiled terror plots to secure and expand organizational budgets through manufactured crises. These operations often utilize undercover agents to provide fake explosives to suspects, a pattern observed in recent arrests in Washington State and investigations into Canadian rail incidents. The strategy aligns with a 1987 study by Paul Slovic on the zero-risk society, which suggests that small accidents in unfamiliar systems are leveraged by governments to signal catastrophic potential and drive sweeping policy changes.

In San Francisco, Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crashed at SFO after its tail struck a seawall during a visual approach to Runway 28L. While Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg narrowly avoided the flight, the crash exposed that the airport's Instrument Landing System was out of service, forcing pilots to rely on PAPI lights. Meanwhile, Secretary of State John Kerry faced intense scrutiny for yachting in Massachusetts as the Egyptian military removed Mohamed Morsi from power. In the legal sphere, the trial of Whitey Bulger has revealed deep FBI corruption in Boston, while ALEC-backed Ag-Gag laws are being used to prosecute activists like Amy Meyer for filming animal abuse at industrial slaughterhouses.

Linguistic researcher James Pennebaker reveals how politicians use performative phrases like "let me be clear" to mask a lack of factual substance. The program also tracks the launch of a new digital project monitoring the recurring appearance of the number 33 in global news headlines. From 3D-printed napkin rings at Austin dinner parties to the geopolitical theater of diverting Evo Morales’s presidential plane, the reality of modern surveillance and statecraft remains stranger than fiction.

### 1. FBI Six-Week Terror Plot Cycle and Budget Maintenance (0:00–2:44)

The FBI allegedly operates on a six-week cycle for announcing foiled terror plots to justify and grow their organizational budgets. These incidents often involve "honey pot" operations where agents infiltrate groups and provide fake explosives to suspects. Recent events in Washington State and a train wreck in Canada are analyzed within this recurring budgetary framework.

### 3. Sheryl Sandberg and Samsung Executives on Asiana Flight (9:54–11:47)

Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and an executive from Samsung were originally scheduled or connected to the crashed Asiana flight, though Sandberg switched to United Airlines to save miles. The timing of Sandberg's public comments about the switch is characterized as a promotional tactic for her book. The presence of high-profile tech executives is noted as common on trans-Pacific flights.

### 4. Aviation Analysis of San Francisco Runway 28L and PAPI Lights (11:48–20:35)

The Instrument Landing System (ILS) on Runway 28L at San Francisco was out of service during the Asiana crash, requiring a visual approach. Pilots rely on Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) lights to maintain the correct glide path, but data suggests the aircraft was flying too slow and potentially stalled before impact. A minor theory regarding a Class X solar flare affecting instruments is also considered.

### 5. John Kerry Yachting During Egyptian Revolution (20:36–22:14)

Secretary of State John Kerry faced criticism for being on his yacht in Massachusetts while Egypt underwent a major political revolution. Photographs captured Kerry in a small red canoe traveling to his vessel while President Obama met with the national security team in the Situation Room. The optics of the vacation are described as a significant political blunder for a diplomat.

### 7. Criminalization of Unlicensed Journalism and Anti-Government Literature (29:26–33:43)

Legal efforts are reportedly underway to define journalists strictly as those working under editors, effectively criminalizing independent or unlicensed publishing. In the Justin Miles Jasper case, prosecutors cited "anti-government literature" as evidence of intent, raising concerns about the broad interpretation of political speech. This trend is viewed as a move toward restricting the First Amendment rights of podcasters and independent writers.

### 8. Viacom v. Curry Discovery and Contextual Misinterpretation (33:45–37:08)

A 1993 legal battle between Viacom and a host over the MTV.com domain name serves as a warning about the dangers of legal discovery. During the proceedings, private emails were printed and presented in court without context to paint the defendant as malicious. This anecdote illustrates how private communications can be weaponized by prosecutors or opposing counsel when stripped of their original intent.

### 13. ALEC and Stealth Abortion Legislation in Texas (1:11:32–1:14:58)

The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is identified as the source of "model legislation" used to restrict abortion clinics in Texas and North Carolina. These bills are often introduced in special sessions or attached to unrelated legislation, such as Sharia law bans. The ultimate goal is theorized to be a shift toward high-cost, insurance-billed procedures that benefit large medical corporations.

### 14. Ag-Gag Laws and the Animal and Ecological Terrorism Act (1:14:59–1:22:50)

Utah resident Amy Meyer was the first person prosecuted under "Ag-Gag" laws for filming animal abuse at a slaughterhouse from a public easement. ALEC's "Animal and Ecological Terrorism Act" provides the framework for these laws, which categorize undercover photography of factory farms as economic terrorism. The FBI has reportedly prioritized these investigations since 2003.

### 16. James Pennebaker and the Psychology of Performative Language (1:35:11–1:41:25)

Psychologist James Pennebaker's research into "performatives" explains how phrases like "let me be clear" are used by politicians to signal honesty while avoiding facts. His linguistic analysis suggests that Barack Obama's speech patterns trend more "female" compared to the "macho male" style of previous presidents. The research also uses pronoun counts to distinguish between male and female writing styles.

### 19. Evo Morales Plane Diversion and South American Sovereignty (1:52:37–1:59:54)

Bolivian President Evo Morales had his flight diverted to Austria amid rumors that Edward Snowden was on board. While South American leaders in Venezuela and Argentina condemned the incident as a violation of sovereignty, flight data suggests the landing was requested by the pilot due to a "fuel indicator" issue. The event is analyzed as a potential piece of geopolitical theater orchestrated by Vladimir Putin.

### 21. Manufactured Crisis and the Zero-Risk Society Study (2:08:20–2:16:52)

A 1987 study by researcher Paul Slovic explores how the American public perceives risk, focusing on "unfamiliar systems" like nuclear energy or DNA labs. The research suggests that small accidents in these systems create immense social disturbance because they signal catastrophic potential. This psychological framework is used by governments to manufacture crises, such as cyber terrorism or Y2K, to drive policy.

### 22. Economic Rule Changes and Manufactured Political Crises (2:16:52–2:25:30)

On C-SPAN, policy experts discussed the necessity of manufacturing crises to force politicians to address long-term economic issues like the balanced budget. Because politicians struggle with present-value issues, they require an immediate "crisis in the here and now" to enact significant rule changes. This candid admission highlights the strategic use of alarmism in national governance.

### 23. Twitter Dispute over Asiana Tail and Google Plus (2:25:30–2:31:14)

A dispute on Twitter regarding whether the tail of the Asiana flight "fell off" or was "chopped off" serves as a critique of social media behavior. The platform is described as a "global schoolyard" where intelligent people engage in petty arguments. Additionally, Google Plus is dismissed as a failure, despite claims of high view counts on posts by tech figures like Robert Scoble.

### 25. Egyptian Revolution and the Removal of Mohamed Morsi (2:43:56–2:50:01)

The removal of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi is debated as either a military coup or a "revolution by civilized people." While Morsi believed he had tamed the military, the Egyptian armed forces intervened following massive public protests. The situation is compared to the 1930s "Business Plot" in the United States and current political tensions in Turkey under Erdogan.

Federal authorities issued a bulletin placing the U.S. on heightened alert during the Fourth of July holiday, citing past events like the Boston bombing and Benghazi. A Los Angeles official's reference to 9-11 as a "holiday" is highlighted as a bizarre slip of the tongue. The program concludes with a reminder of the upcoming Thursday broadcast time change.
