# Revolution of Dignity > Geopolitical tensions escalate as the State Department rebrands the Ukrainian uprising while domestic debates over Common Core and religious freedom reach the Supreme Court. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 603 - **Published:** 2014-12-06 - **Length:** 2h 42m - **Topics:** Revolution of Dignity, [Nuclear Security Summit](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/nuclear-security-summit.md), [Hobby Lobby](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/hobby-lobby.md), [Common Core](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/common-core.md), [Ibragim Todashev](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/ibragim-todashev.md), [FISA Act](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/fisa-act.md), [Kony 2012](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/kony-2012.md) - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/603-revolution-of-dignity ## About this episode President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Mark Rutte utilized the Nuclear Security Summit in the Netherlands to finalize a framework for sectoral sanctions against Russia following the annexation of Crimea. Despite a massive Secret Service presence and an Amsterdam lockdown that saw helicopters landing on the Museumplein, two IT security students successfully breached the perimeter using fraudulent student press credentials. The summit, which featured an opening video heavy with triangle and all-seeing eye imagery, focused on the removal of enriched uranium while the President publicly stated that a nuclear detonation in Manhattan remains a greater concern than Russian regional power. Contradictions in the Ukraine narrative emerged as CBS News correspondent Charlie D’Agata reported from Donetsk that he saw no evidence of the Russian military buildup claimed by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. Meanwhile, the State Department launched the #UnitedForUkraine social media campaign, which critics label as state-sponsored branding for the newly coined Revolution of Dignity meme. In Florida, a prosecutor's report on the FBI shooting of Ibragim Todashev claims the associate of the Boston Marathon bombers attacked agents with a broomstick and a coffee table before being shot in the back of the head. Simultaneously, Secretary of State John Kerry presented Sergey Lavrov with Idaho potatoes as North Korea launched ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze the expansion of the LGBTQQIAAP acronym and the hypocrisy of diplomatic visits to Saudi Arabia where homosexual conduct remains a capital offense. The hosts retire long-standing theories regarding Bill Clinton's health to focus on the corporate-led Common Core science standards and the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court challenge. Former President Jimmy Carter admits to using snail mail to evade NSA surveillance, while the city of Santa Clara implements a municipal ban on spilling beer at the new 49ers stadium. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Manhattan Nuclear Threat, FBI Staged Plots, Budget Cycles (16:06–18:00) President Obama stated that he is more concerned about a nuclear weapon detonating in Manhattan than he is about Russia's actions as a regional power.

They criticize the quality of recent federal investigations and the perceived holes in official narratives.

IMF Ukraine Loan, Gas Price Hikes, Privatization (28:36–29:34) Ukraine has agreed to a 50% increase in domestic gas prices as a condition for an IMF bailout package valued between $15 billion and $25 billion.

Shale Gas Fracking, French Anti-Fracking Policy, Total S.A. (33:02–34:46) The geopolitical conflict in Ukraine is framed as a struggle over energy resources, specifically shale gas fields.

Transatlantic Trade Deal, Economic Hitman Scenarios, Alaska Oil Model (34:46–38:03) President Obama is using the Ukraine crisis to accelerate the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).

Gazprom Ownership, BP Oligarch Conflict, Russian Isolation (38:03–40:15) The hosts trace the current animosity toward Russia back to Vladimir Putin's crackdown on oligarchs and the subsequent "screwing" of Western oil partners like BP. They argue the current strategy is to isolate Russia and cut them off from the global gas transport system as retaliation for past business conflicts.

John McCain's Military Assistance Demands, Intelligence Failures (40:15–43:20) Senator John McCain has called for immediate military assistance to Ukraine, claiming he predicted the invasion of Crimea. The hosts play clips from *Democracy Now!* showing that only a small fraction of the American public supports military intervention. They further challenge McCain's claim of foresight by citing a transcript where he grilled Secretary Hagel on intelligence failures regarding Russian intentions.

Russian Analyst Perspective, European Union Errors, Khrushchev's 1954 Decision (43:20–47:52) A former official from the Gorbachev administration analyzes the Crimea situation, attributing the crisis to "terrible errors" by the Ukrainian elite and the European Union.

Bill Clinton Health Topic Retirement, No Agenda Player, Clip Shows (1:03:30–1:06:43) Adam and John decide to retire the topic of Bill Clinton's health and the "Hillary killing Bill" theory, noting that it was too "severe" and caused a drop-off in listener engagement.

Kony 2012 Retrospective, NSA Tracking Capabilities, Uganda LGBT Law (1:09:33–1:12:30) The hosts revisit the "Kony 2012" viral phenomenon, labeling it a "hype of incredible magnitude." They question why the NSA and U.S. intelligence, with their vast satellite and RFID tracking capabilities, have not captured Kony if he is down to only 40 followers. They suggest the military mission in Uganda is a cover for other regional interests.

Joe Biden 2016 Ambitions, ENDA Legislation, Red Herring Politics (1:17:38–1:21:11) Vice President Joe Biden is seen as pandering for 2016 votes by advocating for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). The hosts characterize ENDA as a "red herring" that has failed to pass for 20 years.

War on Religion, Reproductive Healthcare Definitions, Senator Patty Murray (1:28:27–1:32:37) The hosts argue that the Hobby Lobby controversy is actually a "war on religion" rather than a denial of healthcare, as employees can still purchase the contested products independently. They play a clip of Senator Patty Murray claiming that corporate religious rights should not "trump" employee rights, which the hosts view as an attack on private property and belief.

Global Warming in Schools, Scholastic Reading Tests, John Coleman Video (1:51:29–1:53:06) A listener reports that his third-grade son came home crying after a Scholastic reading test that presented global warming as an absolute catastrophe. The test reportedly used multiple-choice questions where the only "wrong" answer was a skeptical view of climate change. The parent used a John Coleman video to counter the "government propaganda" taught in the classroom.
