- **Published:** 2014-05-26

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/618-binge-watch/chapter/terrorism-as-theater-and-the-mumbai-model.md

John Miller describes modern terrorism as "theater" that requires a "money shot" of blood and bodies to be effective on television. He dismisses concerns about cyber attacks on the power grid, claiming terrorists are only interested in high-yield, low-tech violence like the Mumbai attacks. The hosts briefly pivot to the news of Casey Kasem going missing before concluding the analysis of Miller's "douche knuckle" rhetoric.

### John Dixon, Data Analysis Limits and the Mumbai Terror Attacks

- **Episode:** [534: The Interview Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/534-the-interview-show.md)
- **Published:** 2013-07-28
- **Time:** 1:03:56–1:08:21
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/534-the-interview-show/chapter/john-dixon-data-analysis-limits-and-the-mumbai-terror-attacks.md

John Dixon explains that the ability to collect data far exceeds the ability to analyze it, leading to massive backlogs of unexamined intelligence. He cites the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks as a case where Indian intelligence had recorded the communications but failed to correlate the data until after the event. Dixon argues that mass surveillance often makes the "haystack" larger, making it harder for analysts to find critical "needles."

The U.S. State Department issued a $10 million bounty for information leading to the conviction of Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, the alleged mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai attacks. Saeed responded with a press conference in Pakistan, mocking the U.S. for offering money for a man whose location is publicly known. State Department spokespeople clarified the reward is for "judicial evidence" rather than location.

The 9/11 Commission Redux discusses David Headley, a Chicago-based terrorist who helped plan the Mumbai attacks. Headley was revealed to be a former DEA informant, leading to speculation about his ties to the CIA. The hosts question the logic of the ISI using an American operative to scout targets in India and compare Headley to other "mind-controlled" figures.
