A ten-year study from MUSC claims a 62% drop in cervical cancer mortality among women under 25 due to the HPV vaccine. However, skeptics point out that the absolute number of lives saved—approximately 15 per year—is statistically small compared to the aggressive marketing and potential side effects associated with the vaccine.

Reports indicate that Alaska's glaciers are losing 75 billion tons of ice annually, contributing to an eight-inch rise in sea levels over the last century. A heated exchange between Rick Perry and Al Franken focuses on the validity of the 97% consensus figure, with Perry calling it "bogus." The discussion also touches on Pope Francis's support for climate action, with Franken questioning why religious skeptics don't show more humility toward the Pope's position.

Multiple Texas energy firms, including Brazos Electric Power Cooperative, filed for bankruptcy following the February winter storm and subsequent price spikes. Analysts argue that deregulation and a lack of winterization incentives led to the grid's failure. The discussion suggests that a reliance on wind energy and the influence of "Green New Deal" policies left the state vulnerable compared to those maintaining nuclear and coal plants.

Texas regulators were warned after a 2011 winter storm to winterize the state's power infrastructure, but the measures were never made mandatory due to high costs. Former Energy Secretary Rick Perry had previously advocated for more nuclear and coal power to ensure grid reliability, but faced political pushback for favoring those fuel types. Data from ERCOT indicates that nuclear and coal remained the most stable energy sources during the 2021 freeze.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1322-dark-fate/chapter/energy-deregulation-history-rick-perry-and-fuel-bias.md

The 1996 energy deregulation led to the creation of Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) that operate as "black boxes" forbidding press attendance. Former Energy Secretary Rick Perry was reportedly pushed out for advocating for "winter resilience" and mentioning coal, which violated RTO rules against naming specific fuels or showing bias. The system is criticized for allowing subsidies to distort the true cost of wind and solar versus fossil fuels.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Vadim Pristaiko denied any knowledge of a quid pro quo during an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. Pristaiko stated he never met Lev Parnas and emphasized that military aid reviews are a standard part of the diplomatic process between the U.S. and Ukraine. He further clarified that the absence of high-level U.S. officials at President Zelensky's inauguration was due to short scheduling notice rather than political retaliation.

The mainstream media's increasing use of the word "cult" to describe Donald Trump's supporters is analyzed as a coordinated narrative.

The hosts discuss the influence of the late Doug Coe and the "imperfect leader" theology used by evangelical supporters.
