# Slavery Enrollment Month > National proclamations collide with global instability as the Pentagon issues domestic warnings and the commercial space race faces a catastrophic week of high-profile failures. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 666 - **Published:** 2014-11-07 - **Length:** 3h 3m - **Topics:** Slavery Enrollment, Antares explosion, [Tom Steyer](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/tom-steyer.md), [Net Neutrality](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/net-neutrality.md), Fukushima radiation, [Tim Cook](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/tim-cook.md), [Eric Frein](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/eric-frein.md) - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/666-slavery-enrollment-month ## About this episode President Barack Obama designated November 2014 as National College Application Month, a move critics have rebranded as National Young People’s Slavery Enrollment Month due to the escalating burden of student debt. The Pentagon Force Protection Agency simultaneously issued a high-level security directive ordering U.S. military personnel to remove all service markings from their homes and vehicles. This advisory follows credible threats of ISIS-inspired attacks on domestic soil, mirroring the recent Parliament Hill shooting in Ottawa. Boko Haram leader Abu Bakr Shekau released a video through Al Jazeera denying a ceasefire with the Nigerian government and claiming the kidnapped Chibok schoolgirls have been married off. In the aerospace sector, the Orbital Sciences Antares rocket was intentionally self-destructed by a range safety officer over Wallops Island, while Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo suffered a fatal crash in the Mojave Desert. Meanwhile, China successfully recovered an experimental lunar spacecraft, and the European Central Bank slashed interest rates to zero as the Euro fell to 1.25 against the Dollar. Billionaire Tom Steyer’s NextGen Climate campaign is pouring millions into midterm elections to combat climate skepticism, even as Weather Channel founder John Coleman appeared on CNN to label man-made global warming a political hoax. Episode 666 features a custom Mark of the Beast musical opening to mark the milestone. The hosts deconstruct a Sherlock Holmes pronunciation gaffe regarding the word zoology and analyze the podcast renaissance through the lens of car technology. Technical segments cover the FTDI driver scandal where counterfeit chips were intentionally bricked and the IBM partnership with Twitter to feed the Watson analytics engine. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

Tim Cook Coming Out and Hillary Clinton Theory (2:34:07–2:39:36) The hosts speculate on the timing of Apple CEO Tim Cook's public statement about his sexuality, suggesting it may be a preemptive move against government pressure regarding iPhone encryption or potential blackmail.
