# Centrifuge Him! > Intelligence pundits pivot from bubonic plague to Ebola centrifuges while the White House uses sartorial choices to mask a lack of foreign policy strategy. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 648 - **Published:** 2014-08-31 - **Length:** 3h 21m - **Topics:** Ebola centrifuge, Vitol Group, Tan suit, [Metadata](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/metadata.md), [South Stream](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/south-stream.md), MK-Ultra - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/648-centrifuge-him ## About this episode Former CIA officer Bob Baer appeared on CNN to suggest that ISIS could use centrifuges to atomize the Ebola virus for mass-transit attacks, a theory Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak dismiss as scientifically absurd. The hosts analyze this as part of a broader CIA pundit program where former intelligence officials use scripted media appearances to manufacture public fear. They contrast the global hysteria over the Terror Laptop of Doom with the media's relative silence regarding the extreme violence of Mexican drug cartels. President Barack Obama faced criticism for his tan suit, which the hosts characterize as a calculated distraction from the administration's lack of a strategy for ISIL. Meanwhile, Dutch journalist Harald Doornbos and the Vitol Group-funded Ground Truth Project are scrutinized for potential intelligence ties and conflicts of interest in Middle East reporting. The episode also details the legal battle over Edward Snowden's passport revocation and the European Union's selection of Donald Tusk and Federica Mogherini to lead a bloc facing a winter energy crisis and Russian gas siphoning in Ukraine. Adam Curry recounts a contentious dinner with his Marxist uncle in the Netherlands involving Koch brothers conspiracy theories and the export of American political memes. The segment features a satirical performance of the Mac and Cheese Life song and a breakdown of the number 33 as a potential signal for fake news stories. The hosts also examine a U.S. patent for radio frequency directed energy systems designed to scramble human thoughts. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Family Dinner Marxism, Koch Brothers Influence in the Netherlands (8:24–13:09) Adam Curry recounts a family dinner in the Netherlands with his wife's uncle, an 84-year-old Marxist art historian. The conversation turned contentious when the uncle criticized the American Tea Party and claimed the Koch brothers were funding billions of dollars to influence European politics. Curry attempted to defend the historical context of the Boston Tea Party while noting how effectively American political memes have been exported to the Dutch elite.

Mosque Speakers, Noise Disputes in Amsterdam Neighborhoods (13:11–15:56) The discussion shifts to the increasing presence of mosque speakers in Amsterdam and the resulting neighborhood disputes over decibel levels and frequency of prayer calls. Curry notes that some fundamentalist Muslim communities actually oppose the use of speakers, arguing they were not used during the era of Muhammad. The hosts compare the auditory environment of the Netherlands to that of Israel regarding religious broadcasts.

Volkskrant Political Editor, Media Skepticism of Beheading Videos (15:56–17:50) Adam Curry describes a 40-minute drive with the political editor of the Dutch newspaper Volkskrant. During the conversation, the editor admitted he had not actually watched the recent ISIS beheading videos, leading Curry to argue that mainstream journalists are failing to perform basic primary source verification. The segment highlights a perceived gap between professional journalism and the media deconstruction performed by entertainers.

Mexican Drug Cartels, Media Double Standards on Violence (17:53–20:23) The hosts compare the media's intense focus on ISIS beheadings to the relatively ignored, extreme violence perpetrated by Mexican drug cartels. They note that cartels frequently post videos of gruesome executions online to send messages, yet these do not receive the same level of "terrorist" branding or calls for military intervention in the United States. This comparison is used to suggest that media outrage is selectively manufactured for geopolitical purposes.

Adam Curry's 50th Birthday, Hookers and Blow Anecdote (20:27–22:57) Adam Curry mentions his upcoming 50th birthday and the party his wife, Mickey, has been planning for a year. The hosts joke about Curry's recurring request for "hookers and blow" as a birthday gift, debating the logistics and lack of synergy between the two. They reflect on the passage of time as Curry reaches this milestone age.

Barack Obama Tan Suit, Presidential Fashion Distraction (22:57–29:35) The hosts analyze the media frenzy surrounding President Barack Obama wearing a tan suit during a press conference. They argue the suit served as a "distraction of the week" to divert attention from the administration's lack of a clear strategy regarding ISIS. Dvorak provides a critique of the suit's tailoring, comparing it to an Armani cut, and discusses how presidential fashion choices establish social norms.

Obama's "Acts of Terror" Phrasing, Strategy Development (29:35–32:52) Adam Curry highlights a specific phrase from President Obama's press conference where the President referred to "the acts that we are conducting currently." Curry notes that his brain instinctively filled in the phrase "acts of terror," suggesting a subconscious admission of the nature of military strikes. They also play the clip where Obama admits the administration does not yet have a strategy for rooting out ISIL.

ISIS Geopolitics, Potential Invasion of Jordan (32:53–42:49) Curry presents a theory that ISIS may be directed to invade Jordan, which would threaten King Abdullah and force a massive military response to protect Israel. They discuss Jordan's history as a buffer state and the potential for "Hollywood-style" media coverage of such an escalation. Dvorak counters that ISIS is likely intended to remain a buffer between Iraq and Iran to protect Kurdish oil interests.

Australian Military Airlift, Eisenhower's Islamic Jihad Strategy (42:50–45:25) The hosts discuss Australia's agreement to join a military airlift to provide equipment to Kurdish forces in Iraq. They reference a passage from the book "Legacy of Ashes" detailing a 1957 meeting where President Eisenhower suggested promoting the idea of "Islamic Jihad" to combat godless communism. This historical context is used to frame current Middle Eastern meddling as a continuation of long-standing policy.

James Foley, Global Post, Overseas Press Club (45:25–47:42) The hosts examine the background of James Foley, the journalist reportedly beheaded by ISIS. They note that Foley previously won an award for a video depicting the sodomy and capture of Muammar Gaddafi. The discussion questions the legitimacy of organizations like the Overseas Press Club and the Global Post, suggesting they may be used to train journalists to follow specific geopolitical narratives.

Christopher Paul Bake, Vitol Group, Funding Middle East Journalism (47:43–53:32) A listener's research reveals that the Bake Family Trust, which funds the Ground Truth Project, is tied to Christopher Paul Bake, a high-ranking executive at the Vitol Group. Vitol is a massive energy trading company with $307 billion in revenue based in Dubai. The hosts suggest that having a major oil company fund the journalists reporting on Middle Eastern conflicts represents a significant conflict of interest.

Harald Doornbos, The Hunting Party, CIA Media Infiltration (53:37–56:49) The hosts profile Harald Doornbos, the Dutch journalist who reportedly discovered the "Terror Laptop of Doom." They recount his history in Bosnia and Sarajevo, where he was once accused of being a CIA agent. This background is used to suggest that Doornbos may be an intelligence asset embedded within the media to plant specific narratives.

Terror Laptop of Doom, Bubonic Plague Claims (56:50–1:03:21) The hosts deconstruct a CNN interview between Jake Tapper and Harald Doornbos regarding a laptop allegedly captured from an ISIS safe house. The laptop reportedly contained manuals for weaponizing the bubonic plague. Curry and Dvorak mock the "Terror Laptop of Doom" branding and the lack of encryption on the device, suggesting the entire story is a staged intelligence plant.

ISIS Car Theft, Jihadi Hotspots, Media Fearmongering (1:03:21–1:07:24) Continuing the analysis of the ISIS laptop, the hosts laugh at claims that the device contained instructions on how to steal cars as part of a "car jihad." They discuss the history of "Mujahideen Secrets" encryption software and criticize the media for presenting mundane criminal activities as existential threats to global security.

Bob Baer, Ebola Centrifuge Theory, ISIS Oil Wealth (1:07:25–1:12:06) Former CIA officer Bob Baer appears on CNN to pivot the "laptop" narrative from bubonic plague to Ebola. Baer claims that terrorists could put an Ebola victim in a centrifuge to extract liquid for atomization in transportation systems. The hosts mock this "centrifuge" theory as scientifically absurd while Baer also highlights ISIS's control of oil fields, wheat production, and electricity.

CIA Pundit Program, Media Scripts, Native Advertising (1:12:06–1:17:48) The hosts discuss the existence of a "CIA Pundit Program" where former intelligence officers are given scripts and book deals to influence public opinion through news appearances. They characterize Jake Tapper's interviews as a form of native advertising for the intelligence community, where the host and guest follow a pre-written narrative to manufacture fear.

Jihadi for Dummies, Minneapolis Terror Recruitment (1:17:49–1:21:50) The hosts examine reports of Americans from Minneapolis traveling to Syria to join ISIS. They mock the media meme of "Jihadi for Dummies," noting that some recruits were reportedly carrying "Islam for Dummies" books. The segment covers the death of Douglas McCain and the FBI's investigation into how young men in the Somali community are being radicalized.

Edward Snowden Passport Revocation, Yale Law Journal (1:21:50–1:24:19) The hosts discuss the legality of the State Department revoking Edward Snowden's passport. They cite a Yale Law Journal article arguing that a U.S. citizen has a constitutional right to a means of identification while abroad and that the government lacks the legal precedence to cancel a passport without contesting citizenship in court.

Number 33 Symbolism, Radio Transcription Discs (1:24:20–1:28:29) A listener theory suggests that the frequent appearance of the number 33 in news stories is a signal to the "inner circle" that a story is fake. The theory traces the number back to 16-inch radio transcription discs that ran at 33 1/3 RPM. The hosts compare this to other theories about Masonic influence and the use of "phony interviews" in the golden age of radio.

Drunk Donations, World Cup Math, Marco Strauss (1:40:05–1:45:11) Marco Strauss from Ithaca, New York, sends a "drunk donation" of $264, using complex math based on Germany's World Cup goals and titles to justify the amount. The hosts read his letter, which touches on his fear of being deported back to Europe and his desire for a "get laid" karma shot.

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, Charity Finances, Haiti Relief (1:47:34–1:51:36) The hosts critique the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, noting that a large percentage of donations go toward overhead and executive salaries rather than research.

Russian Paratroopers, Geneva Convention Violations, Ukraine (2:04:19–2:07:05) Ukraine releases videos of captured Russian paratroopers as proof of a "stealth invasion." Adam Curry points out that broadcasting images of prisoners of war to humiliate them is a direct violation of the Geneva Convention, a fact he claims is being entirely ignored by Western media and human rights organizations.
