### NIST Sponsored Mask-On Facial Recognition Competition

- **Episode:** [1328: White Adjacent](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1328-white-adjacent.md)
- **Published:** 2021-03-11
- **Time:** 1:07:54–1:11:05
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1328-white-adjacent/chapter/nist-sponsored-mask-on-facial-recognition-competition.md

A Chinese tech company, Xfort AI, won a global competition sponsored by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for facial recognition technology that works even when subjects are wearing masks. This technology is already widely used in China's Xinjiang region to monitor the Uyghur minority. The U.S. government's sponsorship of such technology is criticized as a step toward a permanent biosecurity state.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1276-standard-man/chapter/huawei-5g-security-and-mit-research.md

Research from MIT's Lincoln Laboratory indicates that Huawei devices contain hard-coded embedded super-user accounts that could potentially be used for espionage. The report notes that Huawei does not acknowledge NIST authorities or FISMA standards, which are required for US government infrastructure contracts. This security concern is a primary driver behind the Kosovo-Serbia agreement to reject 5G providers from "untrusted" lists.

A 2019 budget proposal for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) includes the closure of radio stations WWV and WWVH. These stations provide frequency standards and time synchronization for 50 million devices, including radio-controlled clocks and appliances. Industry leaders hope Congress will reject the cuts due to the massive number of dependent devices.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at hardening federal networks and critical infrastructure against cyberattacks from nation-state actors. The order mandates that agency heads follow the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and emphasizes reporting requirements to identify systemic risks. Critics argue that publishing security protocols may inadvertently provide a roadmap for adversaries.

Kyle Romagus, a firefighter and EMT instructor from Houston, donated $100 and expressed skepticism regarding the official NIST report on the 9/11 attacks. He noted that building construction classes at A&M Fire School revealed anomalies in the official narrative. The segment also includes a "douchebag call-out" for his mother-in-law.

### Richard Gage, World Trade Center 7 Controlled Demolition Theory

- **Episode:** [640: Putinism](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/640-putinism.md)
- **Published:** 2014-08-03
- **Time:** 25:53–31:12
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/640-putinism/chapter/richard-gage-world-trade-center-7-controlled-demolition-theory.md

Architect Richard Gage of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth appeared on C-SPAN to challenge the NIST report on the collapse of World Trade Center 7. Gage argues that the symmetrical, free-fall acceleration of the building indicates a controlled demolition rather than a fire-induced structural failure. He disputes the NIST computer models that suggest internal column failures led to the total collapse without visible exterior warpage.

The Obama administration launched a new Cybersecurity Framework developed by NIST, designed to facilitate data sharing between commercial companies and the government. Critics view this as a "fascistic" integration of corporate and state surveillance under the guise of managing cyber risks. The program concludes with a preview of upcoming coverage on African "criminal strips" and the official sign-off from the Travis Heights Hideout.

C-SPAN moderators cut off multiple callers who attempt to discuss 9/11 conspiracy theories or the NIST reports during segments on the NSA. One caller expresses concern that being a "9/11 truth activist" could lead to being labeled a potential terrorist under the NDAA. The hosts observe an organized effort by citizens to raise these issues on air.

The organization 9/11 Pilots for Truth challenges the official 9/11 Commission Report regarding the speed and altitude of the aircraft that struck the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. They claim it is physically impossible for a Boeing aircraft to maintain 400 miles per hour at 700 feet due to air resistance. Further claims suggest that cell phone calls from the flights were impossible above 1,000 feet.

### World Trade Center, Building 7 Collapse

- **Episode:** [47: Kill Bill](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/47-kill-bill.md)
- **Published:** 2008-09-13
- **Time:** 1:40:00–1:43:45
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/47-kill-bill/chapter/world-trade-center-building-7-collapse.md

The collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 is discussed as a primary point of contention for 9/11 skeptics. The hosts criticize the NIST report, which claimed that unprecedented magnetic changes in the steel allowed it to weaken at low temperatures. They argue that the official explanation for the free-fall collapse of the building is scientifically "laughable" and insulting to the public.

### World Trade Center 7, NIST Report, Pulse Energy Weapons

- **Episode:** [44: Probably a Super Delegate](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/44-probably-a-super-delegate.md)
- **Published:** 2008-08-23
- **Time:** 58:21–1:01:17
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/44-probably-a-super-delegate/chapter/world-trade-center-7-nist-report-pulse-energy-weapons.md

The official explanation for the collapse of World Trade Center 7 is challenged, with claims that the building was destroyed to eliminate sensitive documents related to Enron and the SEC. A theory is proposed that a "pulse energy weapon" was used on all three towers, rather than traditional explosives. The discussion references Larry Silverstein's "pull it" comment and the idea that the buildings were rigged during prior retrofitting.
