# Grays+Monkeys=Humans > Technical meltdowns at the NSA and the botched healthcare.gov rollout reveal a crisis of competence as global leaders warn of an impending financial catastrophe. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 555 - **Published:** 2013-10-10 - **Length:** 2h 51m - **Topics:** NSA Meltdown, Libya Raid, [Healthcare.gov](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/healthcare-gov.md), [Janet Yellen](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/janet-yellen.md), Masik Pass, OECD Skills, Spiritual Satanism - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/555-grays-monkeys-humans ## About this episode The National Security Agency’s massive data center in Utah has suffered ten major electrical meltdowns over the last thirteen months, resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars in destroyed hardware. These power surges have crippled the multi-billion dollar facility’s ability to begin operations, raising serious questions about the technical competence of the primary contractors. Meanwhile, U.S. commandos successfully captured Al-Qaeda suspect Abu Anas al-Libi during a raid in Tripoli, a move President Obama defended despite international concerns regarding the legality of seizing individuals from sovereign nations without formal extradition. Domestic policy remains in gridlock as the government shutdown halts FAA aircraft registrations and forces the cancellation of Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership negotiations in Brussels. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius continue to defend the technical failures of healthcare.gov, attributing site crashes to high traffic rather than structural coding issues by contractor CGI Federal. In Russia, a court has ordered the indefinite psychiatric institutionalization of Putin critic Mikhail Kosenko, while IMF Chief Christine Lagarde warns of a global financial catastrophe if the U.S. debt ceiling is not raised. Further abroad, North Korea has unveiled the Masik Pass luxury ski resort, a project championed by Kim Jong-un that currently lacks functional ski lifts due to Swiss export sanctions. In a bizarre turn of listener feedback, a producer introduces the theory of Spiritual Satanism, which posits that humans are hybrid clones of grey aliens and chimpanzees. The segment explores the unique acoustics of the theremin and the historical significance of Leif Erikson Day as a celebration of getting lost at sea. Sir Ryan Bemrose is officially knighted as the Baron of Puget Sound, receiving the traditional rewards of mutton and mead for his contribution to the value-for-value model. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

One host describes a professional-grade theremin owned by a family member in Rotterdam, while the other expresses interest in acquiring an antique model, specifically those manufactured by Moog or original tube-based versions from the 1920s. The instrument's limited range and "squeaky" sound are compared to the B3 Hammond organ.

North Korea Masik Pass, Luxury Ski Resort (8:23–12:40) North Korea has opened the Masik Pass luxury ski resort as part of Kim Jong-un's vision to transform the country into a tourist destination. Despite the lack of functional ski lifts due to Swiss export restrictions, the facility is marketed as a high-end experience. An anecdote about early luxury hotels in China, featuring heated orange juice, serves as a comparison for the potential quality of North Korean hospitality.

Healthcare.gov Website Failures, CGI Federal Contract (12:41–20:26) The rollout of the Affordable Care Act's healthcare.gov website is criticized for massive technical failures and a lack of transparency regarding enrollment numbers.

Jack Lew, Obamacare Enrollment Math (20:26–27:02) Treasury Secretary Jack Lew defends the healthcare.gov rollout, claiming millions of people "rushed" to the site as a positive sign of interest.

Kathleen Sebelius, Jon Stewart Interview (27:02–35:36) HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to discuss the healthcare exchange rollout. During the interview, Sebelius made a facetious comment about a "market-based strategy" being the end of Western civilization, which the hosts analyze for its political subtext. Personal attempts to register for the site are described as failing due to broken templates and verification link timeouts.

Christine Lagarde, Global Financial Catastrophe Warning (1:16:32–1:20:53) IMF Chief Christine Lagarde warns that a U.S. failure to raise the debt ceiling would trigger a global financial catastrophe.

They suggest the OECD acts as a New World Order think tank setting global education and tax policies.

Euronews Coverage, RT and Al Jazeera (1:57:14–1:59:29) The hosts critique the presentation styles of various international news outlets, including Euronews, Russia Today (RT), and Al Jazeera.

Bob Geldof, One Young World Conference (1:59:29–2:05:46) At the One Young World conference in South Africa, Bob Geldof warned of a "mass extinction event" by 2030 due to climate change. The hosts highlight the absurdity of the event, where Geldof's dire warnings were punctuated by the sound of vuvuzelas from the audience. They dismiss Geldof's economic philosophy and his "boring" rhetoric on environmental catastrophe.

Travis Turner, Man-Made Global Warming Debate (2:14:36–2:16:49) Travis Turner from Austin provides a story about debating man-made global warming with food science students. He argues that the term "science" is being redefined from measurable, repeatable data to any hypothesis that sounds "too delicious not to believe." He requests a "Climate Gate" donation combo to mark his contribution.

Spiritual Satanism, Alien Hybrid Theory (2:22:43–2:32:28) A producer's email introduces the concept of "Spiritual Satanism," which claims humans are hybrids of "greys" and chimps created as a slave labor force. According to this belief, Satan is a "grey" who wants to help humanity reach a higher dimension, while "God" represents the oppressive aliens. The hosts jokingly discuss making a deal with Satan for show funding.

Pharmaceutical Side Effects, Abilify and ELF (2:34:14–2:39:51) The hosts discuss the prevalence of "Abilify" as an add-on antidepressant and its potential side effects, including "neuroleptic malignant syndrome" or delirium. They link these psychological states to "Extremely Low Frequency" (ELF) sites operated by the Navy. An anecdote about Lucille Ball hearing radio stations through her dental fillings is used to illustrate how the body can act as an antenna.
