✨ DEBRIEF | Ryan & David unpacking the episode: https://www.bankless.com/debrief-the-byron-tau-interview ------ Are we being watched? That's the question we ask Byron Tau, an investigative journalist and author of “Means of Control'' that covers all about the US surveillance state. Turns out the US Government has a digital dossier of every citizen, but how? How do they collect the data? How are they using it? Can we ever get back our digital privacy? Expect to learn all that and much more in what is a deep dive into digital surveillance. ------

Big tech collects our data, this much we know. But to what extent? To explore this question Rick speaks with Byron Tau, a former Wall Street Journal reporter and author of "Means of Control." Together, they unravel the complex alliance between technology companies and government agencies, exposing how this partnership has birthed a new American surveillance state. They explore the evolution of data brokers, the commercialization of personal data, and the implications for individual privacy and public freedom. Tau shares insights from his book and his reporting journey, offering a chilling yet fascinating glimpse into the invisible world of surveillance capitalism. Byron's book, "Means of Control: How the Hidden Alliance of Tech and Government Is Creating a New American Surveillance State," available now.

In this episode, I explore the life and career of Dr. Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir. Karp, born in Philadelphia in 1967, struggled with dyslexia but persevered and graduated from Haverford College before studying law at Stanford. This is where he met Peter Thiel, entrepreneur and venture capitalist. Despite their contrasting political views, they became close friends.After Stanford, Thiel pursued a career in law, while Karp went to Frankfurt University to earn a Ph.D. in neoclassical social theory under the tutelage of the renowned philosopher, Habermas. However, Karp soon realized that academia was not his path. He turned to investing and started the Caedmon Group in London.Meanwhile, Thiel had built and sold PayPal, becoming a multi-millionaire. Thiel's vision for Palantir was to use technology to balance civil liberties and proactive counterterrorism. This would need a unique team of Stanford and PayPal alumni. While the team had the technical skills to build a product, they needed a CEO with the right connections to work with big government, which is where Karp's network came in handy.The challenge was creating a system that could identify threats while preserving civil liberties. This struggle was evident in the failed "Total Information Awareness" program, which Congress defunded due to concerns about government surveillance.The Palantir team learned from this, building a software that could link and search through disparate databases while maintaining access logs for audit. While the initial prototype was promising, selling to the government was a challenge, due to layers of decision-makers and red tape.While Thiel had initially funded Palantir, attracting additional venture capital proved difficult due to Silicon Valley's reluctance to deal with the government. However, the podcast concludes by highlighting the irony of this situation, as early Silicon Valley successes were built on partnerships with the American military.The podcast also features an interview with Stanford Professor Steve Blank, who discusses the difficulties tech companies face when working with the American government
On this edition of Parallax Views, anthropologist David H. Price, author of Weaponizing Anthropology and Cold War Anthropology: Social Science in the Service of the Militarized State, returns to discuss his latest book The American Surveillance State: How the U.S. Spies on Dissent. The conversation begins with David H. Price discussing his Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests about interactions between American anthropologist, the FBI, the CIA, and American military agencies. We delve into how David became involved in looking at how anthropologists and social science were utilized in the global War on Terror, especially through the Human Terrain System program. In other words, the use of anthropology and social science for social monitoring and control. From there we delve into the thesis of The American Surveillance State and the idea, put forth by CIA whistleblower Philip Agee, that agencies like the FBI and CIA act as "the secret police of American capitalism". In this regard we discuss how intelligence agency institutions became powerful surveillance apparatuses that often targeted the labor and radical leftist movements. This also allows us to discuss the (in)famous figure of longtime FBI director J. Edgar Hoover and some conversation about the period of WWII and the transition into the Cold War. Among other topics we also manage to discuss: - The history of phone surveillance and wiretapping - The Total Information Awareness program and mass data collection - The issue of corporate surveillance as well as government surveillance - The American Surveillance State's targeting of anthropologist Gene Weltfish, Native American activist Archie Phinney, and South African anti-apartheid activist Ruth First; the targeted surveillance of activists who sought to expose systems of racial inequality - American anthropology, racial inequality, and the American surveillance state in the era of Joseph McCarthy and the Red Scare in the 1940s and 1950s - Addressing arguments that the massive surveillance and suppression of privacy and individual rights is necessary to fighting security threats like terrorism - The deep roots of anti-communism in the U.S. Liberal anti-communism in the CIA and right-wing anti-communism in Hoover's FBI; President Harry S. Truman and the Truman loyalty oaths program (which targeted federal employees) as a precursor to McCarthyism; Truman vs. Harry Wallace and the weaponizing the surveillance state against political enemies - The FBI's targeting of liberal anti-communists; liberal anti-communist German-American anthropologist Andre Gunder Frank, the Global South, and Frank's critique of American economic hegemony; the FBI's massive file on Andre Gunder Frank - The FBI file on left-wing Academy Award-winning cinematographer and filmmaker Haskell Wexler, who directed the film Medium Cool (a movie filmed in the midst of the riots at the Chicago Democratic National Convention (DNC) in 1968; Wexler's film on the Weather Underground and FBI surveillance of Wexler - Court trials, jury selection, prosecutors, and the FBI - The FBI and Palestinian-American academic Edward Said, the founder of postcolonial studies; the monitoring of Said, who was known for his pro-Palestinian views - The FBI file on the late left-wing journalist Alexander Cockburn of Counterpunch; the American Surviellance State and Alexander Cockburn's visa - Anthropologist Melville Jacobs, who was a student of Franz Boaz, and how he was targeted for his involvement with communism; pre-McCarthy threats against anthropologists who addresses issues of inequality; academic freedom, Cold Wars paranoia/fears, and the rumored-to-be-antisemitic academic who acted as an FBI informant against Jewish professors - Spanish anthropologist Angel Palerm, the Organization of American States (OAS), and the monitoring of Palerm over his work on Latin America; informants in the OAS - Why is certain information redacted in FOIA documents?; why is some information withheld or claimed to be non-existent when it comes to FOIA requests? - FBI incompetence and FOIA - Price's thoughts on the FBI and it's handling of modern domestic terrorism threats, specifically far right-wing groups like the Proud Boys and white supremacist organizations; how surveillance of right-wing groups like the Ku Klux Klan arguably differs from surveillance of left-wing groups; intelligence agency responses to the far-right as being far too late and far less numerous than targeting of left-wing activists - Liberal sentiments that the FBI and other intelligence agencies are the heroes that will save America from Trump and the far-right; Price's response to this - How to make a FOIA request; the ins and outs of making a FOIA request - Has Price ever requested a FOIA on himself?; the CIA's review of one of Price's books - Responding to people who believe that any talk of the surveillance state is just tinfoil hat, right-wing conspiracy theory crankery territory - The CIA vs. the FBI during the Cold War and the roots of the CIA at Yale University - J. Edgar Hoover as a creature of the FBI rather than the Cold War FBI being a creature of Hoover; analysis of institutions vs. hyper-focusing on specific individuals like Hoover - Edward Snowden and the need for a new Watergate moment which will bring about new investigations into the American Surveillance State and possible reforms; FBI oversight, the Pike Committee, and the response to the Watergate scandal - Are we too numb to the American Surveillance State at this point to be outraged by it? - And more!
Starting Sixty Days and Counting, Chapters 21-24 Again we ask the big questions: Why are we doing this? When does Frankie say, "relax"? What if the 14 multinational corporations standing on each other's shoulders wearing an American flag overcoat that claim to be the USA suddenly took off the overcoat? We have some pre-Uvalde, post-Obama thoughts about Phil Chase's idea that America is the "hope of the world," as well as housing precarity, plastic(!), hiding things in forests, and total information awareness. We don't achieve total information awareness in this episode, but hopefully we're getting close! (This was recorded on May 15.) Thank you for listening!

EPISODE 55 | The Dead Internet Theory Weirdly similar but also somewhat nonsensical tweets, emails that seem written by bots, the same posts showing up again and again - something seems to be amiss with the internet. And some people think they have found the answer: the internet died a few years ago and is now almost entirely run by sophisticated AI bots. This is the Dead Internet Theory. We'll look at the reasoning behind this notion, a timeline of events that includes some creepy real-world DARPA projects, the state of AI and computer-brain interfaces, and a peek at the (possibly) approaching Singularity - when humans and machines will essentially blend into one thing.

25 Insane, Crazy Agendas Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Will Push on America if They Seize Power After Rigging the Elections by Mike Adams | Natural News After rigging the elections and staging the January 6th false flag “riot” at the capitol building in D.C., Democrats have some horrifying plans to roll out in their quest to achieve a full-blown Orwellian nightmare future for America… or at least what’s left of it. With the rule of law now utterly rejected by every layer of the judicial system in the nation — including SCOTUS — there is no longer any controlling legal authority which will halt the rapid advance of the Left’s most ambitious agendas. And with Democrats now proving they can steal elections right in front of us, even with overwhelming evidence literally recorded on video cameras as the ballot counting crimes took place, they know nothing can stop them from fulfilling their most crazed visions of a Marxist society rooted in authoritarianism, censorship and lies. 25 things the Democrats will likely push if Biden is installed as president Enforce nationwide mandatory masks and mandatory vaccines, all under fear of arrest. Declare the Insurrection Act under Biden and weaponize the US military against patriots and Trump supporters by labeling them all “terrorists.” Run a new slew of false flag operations to further paint Trump supporters as violent insurrectionists. The very same crisis actors used in the Jan. 6th riots are available for more acting gigs, and they already own all the MAGA gear to wear as costumes for CNN’s cameras. Use forced “covid” lockdowns to further crush the US economy and drive the population onto government subsidies and food stamps, placing most Americans under the control of the regime. Raise the minimum wage to $23 per hour, across the nation, causing a total collapse of the small business sector and driving tens of millions to unemployment and homelessness. Tear down the border wall and encourage millions of illegals to swarm into America where they receive voting cards and instructions to vote for Democrats. Outlaw all AR-15s and semiautomatic rifles, destroy the Second Amendment and confiscate all guns held by private citizens. (That’s about 500 million guns, by the way.) Ban arm braces, 80% lowers, standard capacity magazines and most ammunition in order to disarm the public and make it easier for the Biden administration to achieve its goal of genocidal extermination of Christians, Whites and Trump supporters. Crank up the money printing machines and create trillions in new debt to bail out Democrat-run cities and states. This will further destroy the dollar and lead to a financial collapse during which people who still hold dollars as currency will lose everything. (Anyone stupid enough to put their savings into dollars is about to learn a very expensive lesson about fiat currency collapse that has been repeated throughout world history.) Protect Big Tech and its censorship regime in order to achieve total information dominance over America, snuffing out all independent or dissenting voices by any means necessary, including de-platforming, lawfare, economic warfare or threats of arrest. Enact new carbon taxes to loot the people for driving cars, buying food or using electricity. Control human behavior through carbon allotments, and punish those who speak out against the new “green tyranny.” Rejoin the Paris Climate Accord and other anti-America trade agreements that Trump rejected, once again placing America at a punishing disadvantage in trade actions with other nations, accelerating the global looting of America. Remove all restrictions on China and invite the CCP to continue influencing America’s media, tech giants, stock market and elections, where they already have a strong foothold. Critical Race Theory will be pushed into all public schools as part of the mass indoctrination of the youth with “official” hatred towards Whites, Christians and conservatives. All White people will be marginalized based solely on the whiteness of their skin, all while Leftists claim to be “tolerant” and “inclusive” as long as you’re a transgender, a Trump hater or a Person Of Color. Enact government reparations to force White taxpayers to fund new handouts to People Of Color (POC) under the false justification that POC are “victims” and Whites are “oppressors.” (In reality, it’s White, conservative Christians who are now the marginalized victims in America.) Eliminate $1 trillion in student debt, forcing taxpayers to pay off loans for left-wing university indoctrination training. The NIH will be funded with tens of billions of dollars to create more biological weapons such as covid-21, covid-22, covid-23, all of which will be released to oppress the people through the same series of scamdemic hoaxes we all endured in 2020. Launch nationwide arrests of pro-Trump conservatives to be placed into FEMA camps or executed as “traitors” after being labeled insurrectionists. The very same “resistance” that the Left celebrated for four years under Trump will be criminalized and prosecuted under Biden. Pursue economy-crushing “Green New Deal” policies that will crush America’s economy and lead to mass famine due to the collapse of farming. Starvation is a desired policy of the Left because they want the masses to be completely dependent on government handouts for food, housing and health care. Install more compromised voting machines across America so that Democrats never lose another election again. The ideal scenario for Democrats is to achieve a state where the votes of real voters no longer matter at all. That was already achieved on November 3rd, 2020. Use widespread eminent domain laws to seize rural land and drive people into the Agenda 21 cities where they are easier to control and monitor. Use 5G Internet-Of-Things surveillance to track the movements and speech archives of all individuals. Roll out a Total Information Awareness techno-fascist police state under the banner of “security.” All private health insurance will be outlawed, and healthcare rationing will be put in place, including death panels to decide who lives and who dies. Have no illusions: White people will be deemed to have no value in society whatsoever, so Whites will be killed first. Purge the entire history of Trump from the internet and the White House archives, seeking to erase and rewrite history in classic Orwellian fashion. Purge all evidence of the election rigging crimes of the Democrats and erase all evidence of vaccine harm or the laboratory origins of the coronavirus. “Anti-terrorism” laws will be invoked to cut off banking and all financial services to those who express dissent toward the authoritarian Biden regime. Any person flagged by the new social credit scoring system will be denied access to air travel, grocery stores or voting locations, much like is currently done in communist China. The First Amendment will be nullified by new “hate speech” laws which will be upheld by the traitorous US Supreme Court as “justified” due to “right-wing violence.” So unless Trump takes decisive action in the next nine days to expose the criminal corruption of the Democrats and reverse the stolen election, America will face the most deliberately destructive administration in its history… and the republic will not survive. With Biden and Harris at the helm, I predict the United States of America as we know it will no longer be recognizable by 2023. It will be a failed state by 2025, and the fiat dollar will collapse, leading to widespread poverty, social chaos, disease and mass death. Which is exactly what the CCP wants. And Joe Biden is their man to get it done.

"Assembly Line Hangings" Hosts: Vicky Davis, Darren Weeks COMPLETE SHOW NOTES AND CREDITS AT: https://governamerica.com/radio/radio-archives/22115-govern-america-april-14-2018-assembly-line-hangings The Skripal poisoning story, used to villainize the Russians, has fallen apart, as the Skripals are now on their road to recovery. Numerous questions remain unanswered about how three people could be gassed with what has been called the deadly agent, Novichok, and fully recover just days later. Why are the Brits and the CIA working to give the Skripals a new identity? Why is the daughter, Yulia Skripal, who we are now told has been released from the hospital, being kept out of the limelight and away from the public? Why not allow the public to hear what happened from the people who would know best? In the wake of this questionable event, allegations again surface that Bashar Al-Assad gassed his own people. The timing of this attack comes just after Trump demanded of his aids that U.S. troops be withdrawn from Syria. We talk about the battle going on behind the scenes, by the deep state, to control the presidency and dictate foreign policy. As the battle rages within the White House, Trump orders the another bombing of Syria. Other than a video of people being hosed down, what evidence exists that the attack even took place? What would Assad's motive be for gassing civilians and inciting the ire of his enemies when he is winning the war against the rebels? And just who are the rebels that the U.S. is backing over there? Are we being told the truth? We examine the current incident in light of similar incidents in the past. What is the significance of hitting the Syrian Scientific Studies and Research Center? Trump's attorney Michael Cohen was raided this week, with documents being seized related to the Stormy Daniels scandal. Could a "wag the dog" scenario also be in play? India seeks to scan the eyes, face, and fingerprints of its entire population for entry into a database that would be used every time a person makes a purchase. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is seeking to establish a searchable database of U.S. media influencers — including alternative media, bloggers, podcasters, columnists, and talk show hosts. Also, Mark Zuckerberg testifies before Congress regarding the Facebook / Cambridge Analytica scandal. We explain the connection between Facebook and Palantir Technologies, and connect the dots to DARPA's 2003 Lifelog program.

Congressional Republicans prepare to push out gun control bills, while gun rights are under attack from every level of government. We have more recent examples of people using firearms to save lives. Deep dive into the history of the COPS program — the Community-Oriented Policing Services, including very revealing commentary from those who pushed the program back in 1991. Do you wonder why you are losing your privacy? It's in the COPS program, and all in line with the Department of Defense's DARPA plan for Total Information Awareness. What are the ramifications of framing violent crime as a health issue? What does all of this have to do with Parkland, and other mass shooting events of recent years?

http://the-portal.proboards.com/thread/1378/cimpro-evil-comes#ixzz4ewPI4IeX*** Have you ever heard of CIMPRO? It seems that the controllers of humanity have to obtain every bit of informational data they can on every person on the planet - and then use that data to build a profile upon everyone, and then in the name of PEACE AND SECURITY, round up everyone who could be, or might be a danger to the New World Order. Augusto will tell us all about the CIMPRO MYSTERY, given to him by the Lord in a vision. We are marching very rapidly into the MARK OF THE BEAST given to us by Revelation and Daniel. Donald Trump was in fact totally under surveillance, and so are you, right now. Supercomputers have made "Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars" a total reality, and have many more such government projects as "Total Information Awareness" now a reality.

This episode is a mash-up of the State of the Union and the 2014 budget. We compare the impression President Obama gave us about what to expect for this upcoming year with the reality of what was funded in the last-minute and little-examined budget which he signed into law just two weeks before the speech. Information Presented in this Episode The following quotes are from the 2014 State of the Union. Let's compare them to what was in the budget which he recently signed into law: The 2014 Budget (H.R. 3547) "Last month, thanks to the work of Democrats and Republicans, Congress finally produced a budget that undoes some of last year's severe cuts to priorities like education. Nobody got every-thing they wanted, and we can still do more to invest in this country's future while bringing down our deficit in a balanced way, but the budget com-promise should leave us freer to focus on creating new jobs, not creating new crises." - President Obama The budget should have been done by September 30, 2013. This new law puts all 12 appropriations bills into one big monster law. The bill was put on the House's schedule on January 13th at 8pm and was passed on January 15. The budget is 1,582 pages long. The budget was attached as an amendment to H.R. 3547, the bill extending the insurance program for commercial space flight which was highlighted in episode CD058. The insurance program was originally extended for a year; the budget bill extended it until 2017.) Fossil Fuels "Now, one of the biggest factors in bringing more jobs back is our commitment to American energy. The all-of- the-above energy strategy I announced a few years ago is working, and today, America is closer to energy independence than we have been in decades. One of the reasons why is natural gas. If extracted safely, it is the bridge fuel that can power our economy with less of the carbon pollution that causes climate change. Businesses plan to in-vest almost $100 billion in new factories that use natural gas.

Every 4 minutes, another American home or business goes solar, every panel pounded into place by a worker whose job cannot be outsourced.

For while our relationship with Afghanistan will change, one thing will not: our resolve that terrorists do not launch attacks against our country." - President Obama Iraq "When I took office, nearly 180,000 Americans were serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

First Class Cory Remsburg at the 2014 State of the Union Address[/caption] "I first met Cory Remsburg, a proud Army Ranger, at Omaha Beach on the 65th anniversary of D-day. Along with some of his fellow Rangers, he walked me through the program. He was a strong, impressive young man with an easy manner. He was sharp as a tack. We joked around and took pictures, and I told him to stay in touch. A few months later, on his 10th deployment, Cory was nearly killed by a massive roadside bomb in Afghanistan. His comrades found him in a canal, face down, under water, shrapnel in his brain." - President Obama The budget cancels the pension cut from December's budget agreement for people who are disabled, like Cory.

TOM HARKIN and GEORGE MILLER have a bill to fix that by lifting the minimum wage to $10.10. It is easy to remember— 10, 10. This will help families. It will give businesses customers with more money to spend. It does not involve any new bureaucratic program. So join the rest of the country. Say ‘‘yes.'' Give America a raise. Give them a raise." - President Obama Retirement "That is why tomorrow, I will direct the Treasury to create a new way for working Americans to start their own retirement savings: MyRA.

MyRA guarantees a decent return with no risk of losing what you put in."- President Obama NSA Spying "That's why, working with this Congress, I will reform our surveil-lance programs, because the vital work of our intelligence community depends on public confidence, here and abroad, that the privacy of ordinary people is not being violated." -President Obama "Information pertaining to United States persons shall only be handled in accordance with protections provided in the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution as implemented through Executive Order 12333" (Division C- Section 8079).
