CIA Funded 1988 Moscow Music Peace Festival as "Anti-Drug" to Influence Soviet Youth; Scorpions' "Winds of Change" Possibly Part of Covert Operation

Recalling the 1988 Moscow Music Peace Festival, Curry indicates that it was purportedly a drug-free, alcohol-free event, but he doubts the motives behind the event, suspecting the involvement of agencies like USAID and the CIA. Ozzy Osbourne, one of the event's participants, was visibly intoxicated, contradicting the festival's message. Curry had been briefed by men in suits about avoiding interactions with certain women due to fears of KGB involvement, suggesting a significant level of surveillance and covert activities.

Curry goes on to describe the Scorpions' "Winds of Change" as a song supposedly not written by the band themselves which might have been produced as part of a covert operation to influence public sentiment. Joe Rogan refers to it as a CIA-written song, potentially pointing to broader strategies of using the music industry to finance songs and movements for disruptive or political ends.

Surveillance Tech Advances Raise Privacy and Abuse Concerns

Curry and Rogan discuss various dimensions of the potentially troubling relationship between technological development, government surveillance, and control over information and individuals.

Social Media Enables Governments to Manipulate Information Through "Psyops" and Strategic Content Placement

Rogan addresses the idea that governments have inserted themselves into social media and are using it to influence people through fear, laws, and rules, hinting at psychological operations, or psyops. Curry mentions a "massive psychological operation" that has even affected family relationships, implying that governments or other entities could use social media platforms for psychological operations.

He notes that the Smith-Mundt Act, which once prohibited propagandizing the American people, may have seen a relaxation of policies around 2012, suggesting potential government propaganda spread via the internet. Curry connects this with the movement to legislate Chinese drones out of America, suggesting a concern about surveillance capabilities.

Curry explains how DARPA has been analyzing social networks since the 70s and mentions a theoretical law of large numbers that predicts information flow in computer networks. If certain nodes (people, posts, etc.) are boosted, it can direct the trajectory of information flow, a powerful tool for propagating specific messages, implying that such manipulations could be frequently occurring.

Referencing the nation's earliest leaders, Curry talks about the forefathers' adherence to the Bible, mentioning that the first act of Congress was to print a Bible for everyone.

Alleged Disaster Relief Fund Diversion and Migrant Housing Overpayment Highlight Government Resource Mismanagement

Joe Rogan expresses skepticism about the claims surrounding the withholding of U.S. aid, citing exemptions for food and medicine and questioning narratives of extreme consequences. Adam Curry reveals that FEMA paid $59 million, double the room rate, for illegal entrants to stay at the Roosevelt Hotel. Moreover, four federal employees were fired over payments meant to reimburse New York City for these hotel costs for migrants, with the Department of Homeland Security accusing them of circumventing leadership, leading to the payments being frozen.

FEMA’s misuse of funds was targeted by the Biden administration, which was accused of lying about not using these funds for migrants. Rogan and Elon Musk claimed that the administration did in fact use disaster relief funds in this way. Despite the controversy, New York City officials maintained that federal money was properly allocated under President Biden. FEMA's acting director Cameron Hamilton announced a suspension of questioned payments and promised accountability.
