The No Agenda Show reached a significant milestone with Episode 1900, titled "Trust The Plan," released on September 3, 2026, coinciding with host Adam Curry's 62nd birthday and the podcast's 19th anniversary. Broadcasting from Rotterdam, Curry was joined by returning guest co-host Rob Dew to dissect a range of topics, from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's escalating financial war on Iran to the surveillance implications of Flock cameras and fresh revelations about the January 6 pipe bomber.
Central to the discussion was Bessent's "Operation Economic Outcast," a strategy of secondary sanctions aimed at cutting Iranian entities off from global financial systems like SWIFT and the Federal Reserve wire. Curry played clips of Bessent on Fox News and CNBC, where the Treasury Secretary issued stark warnings: "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 aggressive posture underscores the administration's reliance on financial tools as a primary lever of foreign policy, a move with far-reaching implications for international trade and diplomacy.
The episode also delved into the surveillance creep of Flock cameras, which now include Bluetooth tracking capabilities through hardware like Signal Trace. The hosts discussed the "Have I Been Flocked" website, which allows individuals to check if their devices have been pinged by these cameras, raising critical questions about privacy and the extent of state and corporate monitoring. This segment highlighted the growing tension between public safety and civil liberties in an era of ubiquitous data collection.
A significant portion of the show was devoted to the January 6 pipe bomber case, with Dew, who was present at the Capitol, describing his own footage of armored officers striking the crowd and plainclothes provocateurs near the scaffolding. The hosts examined revelations from ex-FBI agent Kyle Seraphin, 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 evidence casts doubt on the official narrative, particularly given the arrest of Brian Cole Jr., a size-12 DoorDash driver whose shoes do not match the cobblestone measurements pointing to a size 9. The implications suggest a potential cover-up or misdirection in a case that remains shrouded in mystery.
The conversation also touched on the speculative AI data center bubble, with penetration tester Sir Patrick Coble advocating for registered capital bonds to protect communities when the bubble bursts. Drawing parallels to the 1890s railroad boom and the dot-com fiber glut, Coble warned of the economic fallout from overbuilding data centers. The hosts also discussed Nvidia's acquisition of Hugging Face, the Jevons paradox, and Maria Bartiromo's exit from Fox News, weaving these into a broader narrative about the consolidation of power and the manipulation of narratives.
Throughout the episode, Curry and Dew threaded these stories through a singular lens: who controls the flow of money, data, and narrative. From Bessent's financial warfare to the surveillance state and the unanswered questions of January 6, the show underscored the importance of critical media literacy and questioning official accounts. As No Agenda celebrates its 19th anniversary, Episode 1900 reinforces its role as a counterpoint to mainstream media, offering listeners a deep dive into the stories shaping our world and the hidden forces behind them.
