A comparison of mortality data shows seasonal influenza deaths significantly outpacing coronavirus deaths in the United States. While coronavirus deaths were reported at approximately 8,700, influenza deaths reached 20,000 in the same population. The hosts question the logic of national lockdowns for a virus that, according to these figures, is less lethal than the common flu.

### Media Propaganda, Private Corporations and Electronic Monitoring

- **Episode:** [235: Disaster Capitalist](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/235-disaster-capitalist.md)
- **Published:** 2010-09-16
- **Time:** 25:14–27:54
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/235-disaster-capitalist/chapter/media-propaganda-private-corporations-and-electronic-monitoring.md

The hosts analyze the production quality of local news segments on electronic monitoring, suggesting they are pre-produced packages created by the companies that manufacture the bracelets, such as BI Corporation. They argue these "human interest" stories are actually propaganda designed to facilitate a system where citizens pay for their own "freedom" through monitoring fees.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/203-slaughterhouse-blues/chapter/lindsay-lohan-and-scram-alcohol-monitoring.md

The legal proceedings against Lindsay Lohan are framed as a publicity vehicle for the SCRAM alcohol monitoring device. The hosts question the precedent of court-ordered continuous monitoring for legal substances like alcohol. Statistics show over 200,000 Americans are currently wearing these ankle bracelets, which the hosts describe as a tool for "Gitmo Nation" style social control.
