**category:** news_update | **confidence: 8 | **ad:** false A deep dive into the origins of SARS-CoV-2 features insights from the "Living Beyond 120" podcast and Nobel laureate Luc Montagnier. The discussion focuses on "gain-of-function" research, where viruses are manipulated to become more virulent or transmissible. The hosts suggest a "COINTELPRO" operation is active in the media to discredit scientists who claim the virus originated in a laboratory.

### Political Dirty Tricks, Roger Stone, Watergate Tactics

- **Episode:** [826: Ten Times](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/826-ten-times.md)
- **Published:** 2016-05-19
- **Time:** 26:29–32:13
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/826-ten-times/chapter/political-dirty-tricks-roger-stone-watergate-tactics.md

The unrest within the Democratic Party is theorized to be an orchestration by Republican "dirty tricksters" like Roger Stone to exacerbate internal divisions. This strategy mirrors Watergate-era tactics used by figures such as Dick Tuck and Donald Segretti to sabotage political opponents. Reports of gunshots fired into a Sanders campaign office in Nevada are cited as evidence of high-end "mob activity" influencing the election cycle.

### Media Reporting Failures, FBI Counter-Intelligence Shifts

- **Episode:** [703: Lowjistiks](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/703-lowjistiks.md)
- **Published:** 2015-03-12
- **Time:** 32:53–37:12
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/703-lowjistiks/chapter/media-reporting-failures-fbi-counter-intelligence-shifts.md

The reporting on the Christopher Cornell case is cited as an example of the media's failure to ask basic technical questions about "encrypted messaging" and FBI involvement. There is speculation that personnel shifts within the FBI and CIA have led to less sophisticated counter-intelligence operations. The current "catch and release" or "sting" cycles are described as amateurish attempts to influence public perception.

### Smith-Munt Modernization Act, Domestic Propaganda, ISIL Videos

- **Episode:** [653: Evil Layer Cake](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/653-evil-layer-cake.md)
- **Published:** 2014-09-19

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/653-evil-layer-cake/chapter/smith-munt-modernization-act-domestic-propaganda-isil-videos.md

The Smith-Munt Modernization Act of 2012, passed as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, is identified as the legal mechanism allowing the U.S. government to broadcast propaganda domestically. This legislation allegedly facilitates the use of fake ISIL beheading videos to manipulate public opinion. The hosts argue that the government is now legally permitted to run COINTELPRO-style operations on its own citizens.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/203-slaughterhouse-blues/chapter/climate-scientist-harassment-and-white-supremacist-labels.md

ABC News reports on a spike in threatening emails sent to climate scientists like Michael Mann, with the FBI investigating the harassment. The news segment links climate change denial to white supremacist websites, which the hosts describe as a "Cointelpro" tactic. They argue this framing is intended to silence dissent by associating skeptics with extremist groups.

A research paper claims that one in four Americans is employed in "guard labor," a category including security, law enforcement, and corporate IT monitors. The hosts discuss how this labor force maintains social discipline and how intelligence agencies like the CIA and FBI work to indoctrinate the media.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/168-relief-from-haiti-relief/chapter/michelle-malkin-cia-influence-and-culture-of-corruption.md

The hosts speculate that Michelle Malkin's book, "Culture of Corruption," may have been facilitated by the CIA to undermine the Obama administration. They argue the depth of research and timing of the release suggest the involvement of outside intelligence agencies.

### Michelle Malkin, Ron Paul Smear Campaign

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/167-flying-upside-down/chapter/michelle-malkin-ron-paul-smear-campaign.md

Conservative commentator Michelle Malkin is criticized for smearing Ron Paul as a "conspiracy theorist" following his comments about the CIA. The hosts suggest Malkin's rhetoric is part of a "COINTELPRO" effort to marginalize Paul and prevent his ideas from gaining traction within the Republican Party or mainstream media.
