### Raw Milk, Big Dairy Lobby, Government Cheese History

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1726-the-fog/chapter/raw-milk-big-dairy-lobby-government-cheese-history.md

The history of "Government Cheese" is traced back to World War II, when the U.S. government became a massive buyer of milk to produce ice cream for military morale. After the war, the government continued buying milk to prevent the dairy industry's collapse, storing the surplus as cheese in underground caverns. During the Reagan administration, this surplus was distributed to low-income families, leading to the creation of the National Dairy Council to drive private milk consumption.

Donald Trump's closing argument focused on the theme of a "failing nation" and the risk of a third world war due to current foreign policy. He questioned why Kamala Harris has not implemented her proposed plans during her three and a half years in office. Despite media narratives of a Harris win, historical data from the 2016 Clinton campaign suggests that debate performance does not always correlate with election outcomes.

France, Germany, and the United States have shifted policy to allow Ukraine to use Western-supplied weapons to strike limited military targets inside Russian territory. French President Emmanuel Macron specified that Ukraine should be able to hit bases from which missiles are fired. The hosts warn that this incremental escalation mirrors the start of World War I.

During a visit to a war memorial in Pennsylvania, President Joe Biden claimed his uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, was eaten by cannibals after his plane was shot down over Papua New Guinea during World War II. Military records indicate the plane actually ditched in the ocean due to engine failure, and no remains were recovered. The hosts mock the absurdity of the claim and Biden's delivery.

Demand for luxury doomsday bunkers has spiked following conflicts in Ukraine and Israel, with some units costing up to $100 million. Ron Hubbard of Atlas Survival Shelters noted that wealthy clients are seeking protection from political revolt and power grid collapse. However, historical context suggests that modern thermonuclear weapons produce long-lasting radiation that would make short-term bunkering ineffective.
