In a milestone episode marking its 19th anniversary and host Adam Curry’s 62nd birthday, the No Agenda Show delved into a web of interconnected stories about financial warfare, surveillance technology, and unresolved questions surrounding the January 6 Capitol riot. Broadcasting from Rotterdam, Curry and guest co-host Rob Dew of alexjoneslive.com dissected Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s aggressive economic measures against Iran, the expanding capabilities of Flock safety cameras, and fresh revelations about the pipe bomber that targeted the Republican National Committee headquarters.
The episode, titled “Trust The Plan,” centered on the theme of control—over money, data, and public narrative. A significant portion was dedicated to Bessent’s “Operation Economic Outcast,” which involves secondary sanctions and cutting Iranian-linked entities from SWIFT and the Federal Reserve wire system. Curry played clips of Bessent on Fox News and CNBC, where the Treasury Secretary directly threatened: “We know where in the British Virgin Islands your accounts are at these trust companies. We know the $100 million houses you have around the world, and we are going to freeze those.” This hardline stance, according to the hosts, could escalate tensions with Iran and have far-reaching implications for global finance.
The conversation pivoted to domestic surveillance concerns, focusing on Flock cameras and their Bluetooth-pinging capabilities. The hosts discussed Signal Trace hardware and the “Have I Been Flocked” website, which allows individuals to check if their devices have been detected by these cameras. This technology, they argued, represents a creeping erosion of privacy, with the potential for widespread tracking of citizens without warrants. The episode also touched on an incident involving a quadcopter at Leipzig airport, which some have used to invoke NATO Article 5 discussions, though the hosts viewed this as a pretext for expanding security measures.
A particularly gripping segment featured Dew’s firsthand account of the January 6 events, including his footage of armored officers striking the crowd and his observations of plainclothes provocateurs near the Capitol scaffolding. The hosts then examined ex-FBI agent Kyle Seraphin’s revelation, corroborated by journalist Steve Baker and Congressman Barry Loudermilk, that the pipe bomber’s phone pinged on FirstNet—a post-9/11 cellular network reserved for law enforcement with 94% three-dimensional location accuracy. This finding raises questions about the official narrative, especially given the arrest of Brian Cole Jr., a DoorDash driver with size-12 shoes, despite cobblestone measurements suggesting a size-9 offender. Dew also highlighted the case of Lindsay Clancy, whose trial became a focal point for public outrage, illustrating how media coverage can shape perceptions of justice.
The episode also explored the speculative AI data center boom, with penetration tester Sir Patrick Coble arguing that data center speculators should post registered capital bonds to protect communities when the bubble inevitably bursts. Drawing parallels to the 1890s railroad expansion and the dot-com fiber glut, Coble warned of the economic fallout from overinvestment in AI infrastructure. Other tech and media stories included Nvidia’s acquisition of Hugging Face, the Jevons paradox, and Maria Bartiromo’s departure from Fox News.
No Agenda, known for its skeptical, independent analysis, continues to challenge mainstream narratives. Episode 1900 is now available for listeners worldwide.
