Bill Clinton was spotted in Amsterdam staying at the Pulitzer Hotel without visible Secret Service protection. His visit was reportedly tied to the National Postcode Lottery, a Dutch organization that has previously donated to the Clinton Foundation. The hosts speculate on the nature of his visit, describing it as a "collection call" for funds.

### Dutch Postcode Lottery and Peer Pressure Mechanics

- **Published:** 2016-12-26

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/889-the-christmas-special/chapter/dutch-postcode-lottery-and-peer-pressure-mechanics.md

The Dutch "Postcode Loterij" is analyzed as a highly effective gambling system driven by extreme peer pressure. In this model, entire neighborhoods win prizes based on their zip code, meaning those who do not play must watch their neighbors receive large checks. The hosts suggest this "Gitmo Nation" style of lottery could be a solution for the U.S. postal system's financial issues.

At the BRICS summit in Goa, India and Russia signed a $5 billion defense deal for S-400 anti-missile systems. The hosts contrast this with the U.S. Navy's troubled USS Zumwalt stealth destroyer, which is reportedly not seaworthy in high waves. Additionally, WikiLeaks emails reveal the Clinton Foundation receives millions in funding from Dutch and Swedish "postcode lotteries," which the hosts describe as an elite-sanctioned corruption scheme.

### Lottery Scams, Education Funding, Dutch Postcode Lottery

- **Episode:** [707: Bandwich](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/707-bandwich.md)
- **Published:** 2015-03-26
- **Time:** 2:37:28–2:42:54
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/707-bandwich/chapter/lottery-scams-education-funding-dutch-postcode-lottery.md

The hosts critique state-run lotteries as a "scam" where promised education funding often results in the original budget being diverted to general funds. They highlight the "National Postcode Lottery" in the Netherlands, which uses social pressure by awarding prizes to entire neighborhoods, shaming those who didn't buy a ticket. They argue that state governments should not be in the business of legalized gambling.

The Dutch Postcode Lottery is analyzed as a high-pressure social system where prizes are awarded based on residential zip codes. Neighbors who do not participate face extreme social pressure when their street wins, as celebrities deliver large checks to those who paid while "losers" watch from behind closed curtains.
