“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.”
The milestone Episode 1900 of the No Agenda Show, titled Trust The Plan, published September 3, 2026, arrives on host Adam Curry's 62nd birthday and the podcast's 19th anniversary. Broadcasting from Rotterdam in the Netherlands, Curry is joined by returning guest co-host Rob Dew (Sir Deucifer) of alexjoneslive.com to deconstruct Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's escalating financial war on Iran, the surveillance creep of Flock cameras, fresh revelations about the January 6 pipe bomber, and the speculative AI data center bubble reshaping American power grids.
The episode threads several fast-moving stories through a single lens: who controls the flow of money, data and narrative. Topics include:

“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.”
- Bessent's Operation Economic Outcast, secondary sanctions, and cutting entities out of SWIFT and the Federal Reserve wire
- Tom Luongo's thesis that Europe needs a war to blow out bond spreads and consolidate debt under the ECB and digital euro
- The Leipzig airport quadcopter incident being used to invoke NATO Article 5 talk
- Flock camera Bluetooth pings, Signal Trace hardware, and the “Have I Been Flocked” website
- Ricky Schroder's “trust the plan” hay-bale video and the Lindsay Clancy TikTok verdict frenzy
Curry plays extended clips of Bessent on Fox News and CNBC threatening Iran-connected assets in the British Virgin Islands, quoting the Treasury Secretary directly: “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.” Dew, boots-on-the-ground at January 6, walks through his own footage of armored officers striking the crowd and describes the plainclothes provocateurs he witnessed near the Capitol scaffolding.
The hosts spend significant time on ex-FBI agent Kyle Seraphin's revelation, corroborated by investigative journalist Steve Baker and Congressman Barry Loudermilk, that the January 6 pipe bomber's phone pinged on FirstNet, the post-9/11 law enforcement-only cellular network with 94% three-dimensional location accuracy. They connect this to the arrest of Brian Cole Jr., a size-12 DoorDash driver whose shoes do not match cobblestone measurements pointing to a size 9. Elsewhere, penetration tester Sir Patrick Coble argues data center speculators should post registered capital bonds to protect communities when the bubble bursts, comparing the boom to the 1890s railroad build-out and the dot-com fiber glut. Nvidia's acquisition of Hugging Face, Jevons paradox, and Maria Bartiromo's exit from Fox News round out the tech and media beats.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Operation Economic Outcast and how does Bessent plan to enforce it?
- Operation Economic Outcast is Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's sanctions campaign against Iran, using secondary sanctions to cut violators out of the U.S. dollar system, U.S. banking, the Federal Reserve wire and the SWIFT ledger. Bessent stated on Fox News that Treasury is tracking IRGC assets in the British Virgin Islands, including $100 million houses, and intends to freeze them and return proceeds to the Iranian people or terror victims.
- What is FirstNet and why is it central to the January 6 pipe bomber story?
- FirstNet is a post-9/11 law enforcement-only cellular network with 94% three-dimensional location accuracy within 10 feet. Ex-FBI agent Kyle Seraphin revealed that a phone on FirstNet pinged within three meters of both the RNC and DNC pipe bomb drop sites, meaning the bomber was almost certainly law enforcement — undercutting the arrest of DoorDash driver Brian Cole Jr.
- Why do the hosts doubt Brian Cole Jr. is the real pipe bomber?
- Cole wears a size-12 shoe, but investigative journalist Steve Baker measured the cobblestones the actual bomber walked on and determined the suspect's foot was a size 9 to 9.5. Combined with the FirstNet ping data pointing to a Capitol Police officer, Curry and Dew argue the FBI is pinning the crime on an autistic Black DoorDash driver as a cover-up.
- What is Tom Luongo's thesis about Europe and the current financial war?
- Luongo argues the U.S. is squeezing Europe through bond spreads, and European leaders need a war to blow out those spreads, justify a default, and consolidate debt under the ECB and a digital euro. He frames Bessent selling euros to buy long-term bonds as financial warfare aimed at leaving Europe a smoking ruin while the U.S. emerges dominant.
- How do Flock cameras allegedly interact with drivers' Bluetooth devices?
- Flock hardware emits a 2.4 GHz signal in the same band as Bluetooth audio, which can interrupt car audio for one to two seconds when passing. A separate service called Signal Trace, mounted on Flock poles, can lock onto phones, watches and fitness trackers to identify occupants. Drivers can check exposure at the “Have I Been Flocked” website, which Curry suspects has an advertising angle.
- What solution does penetration tester Sir Patrick Coble propose for data center development?
- Coble suggests communities require a registered capital bond covering ten years of promised salaries, held collaboratively between the state, county and municipality. If the speculative AI bubble collapses, the bond would fund repair of blight left behind. He compares the current boom to 1890s railroads and the dot-com fiber glut — infrastructure that outlasts the bankruptcies that built it.
