Brandon Weichert highlights the immense power demands of AI and AGI data centers, requiring gigawatts of electricity and facing significant regulatory hurdles. He discusses the potential weaponization of AI, noting human nature's tendency to weaponize new technologies. Weichert shares personal experiences with AI tools like Grok, Gemini, and Claude, including instances of AI "diversion" rather than hallucination. He emphasizes the need to master this technology, as the substantial investment ensures its permanence. 1958

EP 259.5The cybersecurity and technology threat landscape is accelerating in scale, sophistication, and impact. A convergence of AI-driven offensive capabilities, large-scale supply chain compromises, systemic insecurity in consumer devices, corporate data abuses, and state-level spyware deployment is reshaping digital risk. At the same time, new innovations—particularly in open-source, privacy-centric AI and smart home repurposing—highlight the dual-edged nature of technological progress.AI-Accelerated ExploitsAttackers now harness generative AI to automate exploit creation, compressing timelines from months to minutes. “Auto Exploit,” powered by Claude-sonnet-4.0, can produce functional PoC code for vulnerabilities in under 15 minutes at negligible cost, fundamentally shifting defensive priorities. The challenge is no longer whether a flaw is technically exploitable but how quickly exposure becomes weaponized.Massive Supply Chain AttacksSoftware ecosystems remain prime targets. A phishing campaign against a single npm maintainer led to malware injection into packages downloaded billions of times weekly, constituting the largest supply-chain attack to date. This demonstrates how a single compromised account can ripple globally across developers, enterprises, and end users.Weaponization of Benign FormatsAttackers increasingly exploit trusted file types. SVG-based phishing campaigns deliver malware through fake judicial portals, evading antivirus detection with obfuscation and dummy code. Over 500 samples were linked to one campaign, prompting Microsoft to disable inline SVG rendering in Outlook as a mitigation measure.Systemic Insecurity in IoTLow-cost consumer devices, particularly internet-connected surveillance cameras, ship with unpatchable flaws. Weak firmware, absent encryption, bypassable authentication, and plain-text data transmission expose users to surveillance rather than security. These systemic design failures create enduring vulnerabilities at scale.Corporate Breaches and Data AbuseThe Plex breach underscored the persistence of corporate data exposure, with compromised usernames and passwords requiring resets. Meanwhile, a federal jury fined Google $425.7M for secretly tracking 98M devices despite user privacy settings—reinforcing that legal and financial consequences for privacy violations are escalating, even if damages remain below consumer expectations.Government Spyware DeploymentCivil liberties are increasingly tested by state adoption of invasive surveillance tools. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement resumed a $2M deal for Graphite spyware, capable of infiltrating encrypted apps and activating microphones. The contract proceeded after regulatory hurdles were bypassed through a U.S. acquisition of its Israeli parent company, raising alarms about due process, counterintelligence risks, and surveillance overreach.Emerging InnovationsNot all developments are regressive. Philips Hue's “MotionAware” demonstrates benign repurposing of smart home technology, transforming bulbs into RF-based motion sensors with AI-powered interpretation. Meanwhile, Switzerland's Apertus project launched an open-source LLM designed with transparency and privacy at its core—providing public access to weights, training data, and checkpoints, framing AI as digital infrastructure for the public good.The digital environment is marked by intensifying threats: faster, cheaper, and more pervasive attacks, systemic insecurity in consumer technologies, corporate and governmental encroachments on privacy, and the weaponization of formats once considered harmless. Yet, the emergence of open, privacy-first AI and the creative repurposing of consumer tech illustrate parallel efforts to realign innovation with security and transparency. The result is a complex, high-velocity ecosystem where defensive strategies must adapt as quickly as offensive capabilities evolve.Conclusion

Michael Snyder writes a sobering article that our podcasting staff comments on.   A defiant, confident, and decidedly public display shocked diplomat and leader alike on September 3. “You don't need a degree in international affairs to understand the message Xi Jinping sent Wednesday as he paraded tanks, hypersonic missiles and other weapons through Beijing, putatively to honor the end of World War II,” warned the Wall Street Journal. The ominous point, according to the Journal? “Mr. Xi and his allies aspire to dethrone the U.S. as the world's premier power. What will President Trump do about it?” Read full article at: https://www.seekingtheway.net/the-therion-and-you-economic-weaponization-and-unstoppable-china-courting-premier-power/

This segment dissects how Democratic politicians and media figures allegedly use mass shootings to advance a political agenda. The host argues that figures like Jen Psaki and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey are using the same, coordinated talking points—specifically the phrase "thoughts and prayers are not enough"—to immediately pivot the conversation to gun control. The hosts draw a parallel to "Operation Mockingbird," a CIA program to influence media, and suggest that a similar, modern-day effort is at play. They contend that the real goal of these synchronized messages is not to offer solace, but to lay the groundwork for future gun confiscation. This, they claim, is a long-term plan to disarm the American public, a first step in a larger agenda that could lead to a future resembling socialist states like Venezuela, where the government and its loyalists are the only ones with firearms. The segment challenges the audience to recognize these patterns and resist the push for gun control, viewing it as a move toward a future where the average citizen is powerless.

A conversation with Atty Kristina Conti.

Hugh interviews Alex Marlow, editor-in-chief of Breitbart News, host of "The Alex Marlow Show" on Salem Podcast Network, about his new book, "Breaking the Law: Exposing the Weaponization of America's Legal System Against Donald Trump" and Dan Senor, host of Call Me Back, about the IDF operating in Gaza City and hitting Nasser hospital.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The political elite, or "deep state royalty," as the speaker calls them, are no longer above the law. The transcript delves into the unfolding events surrounding the raid on former National Security Advisor John Bolton's home. It claims the raid was not an act of political vengeance by President Donald Trump, as the mainstream media allegedly suggests. Instead, it was the result of a reopened criminal investigation into Bolton's alleged theft of highly sensitive classified data. The broadcast argues that this case, along with others involving figures like James Comey, Andrew McCabe, and Hillary Clinton, points to a pattern of illegal activity that has been covered up by the Department of Justice. The speaker suggests that these raids are just the beginning and that the "tables have turned," with a renewed effort to hold powerful figures accountable for their crimes. The transcript paints a picture of a nation at a crossroads, where the battle for truth and justice is finally being fought.

When someone cries "no proof," it's probably because they can't handle the evidence. CNN host Abby Phillip repeatedly argued that there was no weaponization under Democrats because you can't identify a "Big Puppeteer" who's directing the entire conspiracy against Trump or Tea Party conservatives.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, John Bolton may be in serious trouble. Why would the timing of this raid on Bolton's house be chilling? Suddenly Democrats are special pleaders for Bolton and now we have to hear from the conspiracy theorists. The question isn't why the Trump administration is looking into Bolton or the timing of it; the question is why did the Biden administration shut down any investigation into him without explanation? Also, the key revelations in the interview with Ghislaine Maxwell conducted by Deputy AG Todd Blanche includes no list of names, no evidence implicating Trump in anything improper, and denials that Jeffrey Epstein was a spy for Israel. What will the conspiracy theorists and grifters do now? They'll claim a massive cover-up without any real endgame, merely to keep audiences engaged. Later, Rep Chip Roy calls in to announce his run for Texas Attorney General. Roy also praises Texas for aggressively redistricting to gain more Republican seats, countering Democratic gerrymandering in states like California, Illinois, and Massachusetts. Afterward, Vladimir Putin is a madman, butcher, and killer who's responsible for invading Ukraine, committing atrocities like kidnapping children and brutalizing civilians, and showing no intent to end the war. But there's nobody better to pressure Putin than Trump. Finally, Alex Marlow calls in to discuss his new book, Breaking the Law: Exposing the Weaponization of America's Legal System Against Donald Trump. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's Headlines: The border wall is getting a makeover—DHS Secretary Kristi Noem says it'll be painted black (because the president thinks the heat will make it harder to climb), with a price tag that could hit a billion dollars but plenty of funding still left in Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill.” Meanwhile, the Pentagon asked nearly a million of its civilian employees if they'd like to “volunteer” with ICE or CBP under potentially harsh conditions, while the DC National Guard has quietly been pulled into pistol training drills in case they're ordered to carry weapons. Meanwhile, Walmart's CEO says tariffs are slowly driving up costs, especially for lower-income households, while Trump himself has been quietly buying more than $100 million in corporate and municipal bonds—meaning he's personally investing in the same companies and local governments affected by his own policies. On top of that, a New York appeals court just tossed his $500 million fraud fine as “excessive,” even as the DOJ's new “Weaponization” unit is clumsily targeting NY Attorney General Letitia James, with its Trump-friendly head, Ed Martin, literally showing up outside her townhouse in a trench coat. In New York City, Mayor Eric Adams' inner circle is once again in scandal mode: his longtime ally Winnie Greco was caught trying to hand a reporter cash inside a potato chip bag (she swears it was just a cultural kindness), while another close aide, Ingrid Lewis-Martin, was indicted for steering migrant shelter contracts and even trying to block a Brooklyn bike lane—for as little as $2,500 and a TV cameo. Finally, Texas Republicans approved a new congressional map giving them at least 5 extra winnable seats, while Trump is already dreaming much bigger—claiming on Truth Social that he wants 100 new GOP seats and railing (again) against mail-in voting.

My guest today is Bob Burnett, veteran technologist, former Gateway CTO, and now CEO of Barefoot Mining. From consumer tech pioneer with eight U.S. patents to leader in sovereign Bitcoin mining, Bob shares his vision for “wild mining,” where miners own their energy using innovative energy sources. He challenges the myth that mining is only for massive corporations, showing how small, strategically placed operations can be both profitable and decentralizing. We discuss adoption curves, block template decentralization, why nation-states should build mining infrastructure before buying Bitcoin reserves, lessons from the early PC revolution, and the coming energy race with AI and High-Performance Computing.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

When “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength” we are living in an era of alternate facts. Mary and Andrew apply this Orwellian concept to what's happening this week, after President Trump cited section 740 of the Home Rule Act to federalize the DC police force and send in the national guard to the nation's capital. They detail how the president was able to do this and why Congress will be the ultimate arbiter of this move. Then, they highlight some litigation befitting this theme, with Judge Breyer's trial starting this week on the use of the national guard in Los Angeles, and some decisions including not to unseal grand jury testimony in the Ghislaine Maxwell case, plus an Appeals court blocking contempt proceedings in JGG. Last up, Andrew and Mary take a look at Judge Henderson's opinion in the OMB case and why it deserves more attention than it's received. Further reading: Here is President Trump's letter to Congress citing section 740, courtesy of the New York Times.And some exciting news: tickets are on sale now for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

In this episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano exposes how America's financial system has been weaponized to punish political opponents and reshape society. From the 2008 bailouts to the Biden administration's aggressive expansion of Operation Chokepoint, Professor Giordano breaks down how banks, regulators, and politicians have quietly turned your access to money into a political tool. With President Trump's new Executive Order banning politicized debanking and Senator Tim Scott's FIRM Act aiming to make those protections permanent, he explains what's at stake, why your financial freedom hangs in the balance, and how Congress must act before it's too late. Episode Highlights How the 2008 financial crisis created “too big to fail” banks and paved the way for politicized banking. The Biden administration's push to flag “Trump” and “MAGA” transactions, target lawful industries, and revive Operation Chokepoint. Why Trump's Executive Order is a major win, but why the FIRM Act is critical to making protections against political debanking permanent.

The host discusses the political standoff in Texas, where Democratic state legislators have fled the state to prevent a quorum and block a redistricting bill aimed at giving Republicans more seats in the U.S. House.

Accountability or weaponization? That's the question Andrew and Mary tackle in their 150th episode together, starting with the distraction of the Office of the Special Counsel's investigation into Jack Smith for possible Hatch Act violations. In other DOJ related matters, they give some context to the Trump administration's continued battle to keep Alina Habba, a Trump ally, as New Jersey U.S. Attorney, just as The Legal Accountability Center filed bar complaints against lawyers who have represented Trump's White House in court. In another sideshow, Andrew and Mary break down what to make of a report on the “Clinton Plan” emails, declassified amid the Epstein controversy. And last up, they detail the decision out of the 9th Circuit Court which upheld a pause on ICE raids in California.  Further Reading: Here is the piece Andrew and his colleague Ryan Goodman wrote for Just Security in October 2024: Refuting the Latest Baseless Attacks Against Special Counsel Jack SmithHere is the 9th Circuit Court decision on ICE Raids: Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California And some exciting news: tickets are on sale now for MSNBC Live – our second live community event featuring more than a dozen MSNBC hosts.

Dr. Li-Meng Yan w/ The Voice of Dr. Yan – The 2024 WHO amendments are outwardly packaged as “global health cooperation,” but in reality, they institutionalize the CCP's “unrestricted warfare” achievements during COVID-19 into the future global pandemic prevention system. The provisions completely avoid accountability for the lab origin of SARS-CoV-2 and Chinese military-civil fusion“gain-of-function” research...

If it's customary, it's probably not happening in this Justice Department. Starting with the latest from the Epstein controversy, Andrew and Mary unpack what to make of the two days Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche spent interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell. This, after a Florida judge denied the release of Epstein grand jury transcripts last Wednesday.And in immigration related news, three decisions came through in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia saga, just as the first claim is filed against the U.S. over one man's deportation to El Salvador without due process.

Following the emergence of new evidence from messages submitted by the Department of Justice's whistleblower, Erez Reuveni, Andrew and Mary discuss its potential implications for the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the confirmation process of Emil Bove III. They also examine a Southern California ruling to halt immigration stops based on race. On the other coast, they look at a temporary block of Trump's order restricting birthright citizenship—a case where Mary has particular expertise via her role in a related birthright citizenship case: CASA v. Trump. Finally, SCOTUS paves way for mass layoffs of federal workers, and DOJ opens investigations into former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan.Listener Note: This podcast was recorded several hours before the Supreme Court decision allowing for the dismantling of the Department of Education. Andrew and Mary will discuss on next week's episode.Want to listen to this show without ads? Sign up for MSNBC Premium on Apple Podcasts.
