Journalist Whitney Webb reveals how U.S. intelligence agencies maintain close ties with leading tech companies—including Google, Palantir and Oracle—turning regular people into easy targets for digital surveillance and blackmail. According to Webb, many of these tech giants were born in the shadows of CIA projects, transforming government surveillance technologies... show more

THE SURVEILLANCE STATE KILLED THE FIRST AND FOURTH AMENDMENTS Since Edward Snowden and Thomas Drake exposed the U.S. government’s secret surveillance programs, many Americans hoped the system would be reined in. Instead, it has grown larger, more sophisticated, and more invasive. Today, intelligence agencies possess industrial-scale capabilities to monitor Americans through legal loopholes, secret authorities, and technologies operating far beyond public scrutiny. Thomas Drake joins us to discuss how these surveillance programs really work, how Big Tech provides government agencies access to user data through hidden backdoors, and why something as simple as a Google search can place an ordinary citizen under federal scrutiny.

Palantir Was Engineered to Bypass the Constitution. Whitney Webb’s reporting lays out a disturbing origin story for Palantir — one that goes far beyond the glossy tech‑savior branding the company sells today. According to her research, Palantir didn’t begin as a private innovation at all. It began as a DARPA‑backed surveillance project designed to fuse government intelligence, private data, and predictive policing into a single system with almost no constitutional limits. When the program’s scope collided with civil‑liberty protections, it wasn’t shut down — it was quietly moved out of government, rebranded as a “private” company, and allowed to continue building the same tools with fewer restrictions and far less oversight. The mission didn’t change. Only the logo did. Today, Palantir markets itself as a neutral analytics platform, but its architecture reflects its origins: mass data ingestion, behavioral modeling, and real‑time tracking capabilities that raise serious questions about privacy, democratic accountability, and the merging of state power with corporate surveillance. This isn’t just a tech story. It’s a warning about how intelligence infrastructure can be laundered through the private sector to avoid constitutional scrutiny — and how easily the line between national security and domestic monitoring can disappear when no one is watching. 🎩 Whitney Webb

Whitney Webb just delivered an urgent warning: “Pay attention to local elections.” “Keep the people that are funded by Big Tech out.” “Run yourself.” Local politics is our only way to fight back against Big Tech buying up land for AI data centers, driving up energy prices, and building a dystopian surveillance state. “It usually starts with land offers from these companies.” “And then they take your land … to build a giant plant.” “In the Columbus region, it’s the New Albany company, but there’s other companies that are operating like this throughout the country.” “It’s really time for people to pay attention to what’s happening where they live and try and stop this stuff, instead of constantly being distracted by the latest psyop.” Jimmy Dore Whitney Webb

Investigative journalist Whitney Webb: "They don't really need blackmail anymore... [Palantir is] the new Jeffrey Epstein." "If they want to blackmail you... they just access what Palantir sucked up about you—your search history, your communications, your finances, tweets you've liked in the past, all sorts of things." "You don't really need Epstein in the surveillance era." "The disturbing thing about Palantir is that it's really about pre-crime. They were the pioneers of predictive policing." "Palantir is the resurrection of [a] DARPA program called Total Information Awareness—that was so scandalous when it was announced it was defunded by Congress." "But then they realised that if they turned it into a private company, no one would complain. And that's how we got Palantir."

Whitney Webb just exposed the truth about Palantir’s origins. It was created to privatize mass surveillance. “Don’t tell me this is a conspiracy theory.” “Alex Karp admitted that the CIA was always the intended client of Palantir.” Webb and Mark Goodwin just broke down the truth about Palantir’s origins: After 9/11, DARPA launched the Information Awareness Office to develop a government mass surveillance apparatus. Reagan-era National Security Advisor John Poindexter led the new IAO. After massive public scrutiny and backlash, Congress defunded it. But the program never really shut down. It was moved into the private sector with the help of Peter Thiel and Alex Karp. Webb: “Peter Thiel comes, fresh off of selling PayPal … he’s got all this money, and he’s like: I’m gonna make this company called Palantir.” “Palantir … had really started off as the anti-fraud algorithm at PayPal.” “When PayPal was being created, Max Levchin sort of gave it away.” Goodwin revealed that Max Levchin essentially admitted in an interview at the time: “When I was developing all the anti-fraud stuff at PayPal, I was working with every three and four letter agency that I could.” “Meaning the CIA, and the DOD, and DARPA.” “They form PayPal in the late ‘90s.” “They make a bunch of money, and it’s Thiel and Levchin, admittedly working with the CIA and NSA, while developing this anti-fraud stuff.” “He takes that anti-fraud algorithm, which was built with the CIA in the private sector, and then rebrands it as Palantir.” Webb: “As they’re setting it up, they go through Richard Perle, who was involved with the Bush-era Department of Defense, and I believe the Office of Special Plans.” “He’s approached by Peter Thiel and Alex Karp.” “They’re basically like: we want to talk to John Poindexter, because what he was trying to do is what we want to do.” “They go and meet with Poindexter, who becomes named basically the godfather of modern surveillance because of this.” “He advises them on how to create Palantir.” “And then Palantir gets in bed pretty much right away with the CIA.” “They were their first and only client for their first six years.” Whitney Webb markgoodw.in

Whitney Webb Exposes Big Tech's Sinister Roots and Urges a Mass Boycott for Freedom! In a searing critique of the tech giants dominating our lives, investigative journalist Whitney Webb lays bare the disturbing origins of Silicon Valley’s most powerful players. She warns that many of these companies—helmed by CEOs with ties to controversial figures like Jeffrey Epstein or other questionable associations—were birthed with funding from the CIA, DARPA, or similar entities. This chilling connection to intelligence agencies and murky networks reveals a deeper agenda, one that threatens the autonomy of every individual who relies on their services. Webb’s message is clear: dependence on Big Tech is a trap. “If we’re dependent on them, they can do whatever they want to us,” she declares, likening such reliance to modern-day enslavement. Her call to action is urgent and uncompromising—boycott these tech behemoths as much as possible. Break free from their grip by minimizing the use of their platforms and services. True independence, she argues, demands personal responsibility and deliberate effort to disentangle ourselves from systems designed to control. Webb also dismantles the illusion that political saviors will rescue us. She cautions against the naive hope that voting for the “right” candidate or party will dismantle the entrenched power of an 80-year nexus of intelligence agencies and organized crime. “If I vote for this politician, I don’t have to do anything to ensure my independence from the system,” she says, mimicking the mindset that keeps people complacent. This false comfort, she warns, only deepens our servitude to a handful of corporations poised to dominate an increasingly digital future. As we hurtle toward a world where a tiny cadre of tech giants controls nearly every facet of life, Webb’s words are a rallying cry. Freedom isn’t handed to us—it’s claimed through action. Each individual must take steps to reject dependency, reclaim sovereignty, and resist the creeping tyranny of Big Tech. The stakes couldn’t be higher: remain tethered to these systems, and we risk becoming pawns in a game rigged by the powerful. Break free, and we preserve the chance to live as truly independent people.

🚩 Whitney Webb on How a Cyberattack Could Help Manufacture Consent for Digital ID "What this public-private partnership at the WEF is pushing for is for every person's access to the Internet to be tied to a Digital ID...And the goal of that, of course, is if your ID is linked to your Internet access, intelligence agencies know exactly what media you are consuming in terms of what you read and also what you post online. That has been the goal for a very long time. People aren't necessarily going to consent to that unless they are made to believe that anonymity and privacy online are dangerous. So how exactly can you convince people that that needs to happen? Well, you have some sort of event where anonymous hackers do something online that causes major disruption globally, and then the consent can be manufactured through fear and panic, as is often done."

Whitney Webb exposes the chilling truth behind digital IDs, CBDCs, and the emerging global financial system—a surveillance state disguised as "inclusion." Webb warns that digital IDs are the backbone of unprecedented control, fusing data on travel, health, career, education, and telecom into AI-driven micromanagement. Paired with CBDCs, they form a system where every transaction is tracked, and non-compliance means exclusion. UN and BIS documents reveal years of planning, framing digital IDs as essential for "financial inclusion" and "banking the unbanked." But Webb argues this is a bait-and-switch—marketed as empowering, it’s inherently exclusionary. Without a digital ID, you’re erased from the economy. Webb cites Mark Carney’s "new Bretton Woods" vision, a post-crisis financial governance system. She suggests a orchestrated global event—akin to WWII—could trigger its rollout, with the debt bubble’s collapse as the catalyst. “All wars are bankers’ wars,” she notes, pointing to historical precedent. The debt bubble’s explosion is key. Webb explains that inflating debt maximizes the crisis, forcing masses into a tokenized ledger system. “Sign up, give your biometrics, and we’ll service your debt,” she mimics, highlighting the coercive onboarding to a surveillance-driven economy. Webb spotlights Larry Fink’s BlackRock, eyeing natural assets to fuel their business model. The Intrinsic Exchange Group, backed by the Rockefeller Foundation, aims to financialize nature—forests, rivers, life itself—into tradable assets, dwarfing current markets sixfold. This “nature’s economy” is a Wall Street power grab, Webb argues, turning the natural world into blockchain-tracked products. BlackRock’s AI, Aladdin, could manage risks in real-time, cementing control. Fink’s infrastructure bets, like acquiring GIP, align with a “green” decarbonization push. Webb reveals the Natural Asset Corporation model: identify a forest or lake, issue shares, sell to wealth funds, and profit—all for free. “It’s producing money out of thin air,” she says, framed as saving the planet but really saving the debt racket. The global carbon market and infrastructure overhaul are part of this shift, with BlackRock positioning itself as a key player. Webb warns that without awareness, this system could dominate unchallenged, reshaping economies and nature itself. Whitney Webb urges vigilance: the fusion of digital IDs, CBDCs, and natural asset financialization is a deliberate move toward total control. Will we wake up before the crisis hits?

Nine days before the U.S. and Israel started bombing Iran, investigative journalist Whitney Webb drew attention to allegations of Israel's involvement in leveraging blackmail to steer U.S. policy, including long-term efforts to start a war with Iran. "[Epstein] was fronting for a larger group that still very much have their claws over the U.S. government." "Israel, who was very involved with Epstein, and allegedly used kompromat and blackmail to manipulate U.S. policy, has been trying for decades to get the U.S. to go to war with Iran." "The people that Epstein helped serve... might be finally getting what they want at a major cost for American lives."

You've heard of Flock cameras, but have you heard of NEMA nodes? Those unassuming little plugs on virtually every streetlight in America, silently turning your city's lighting grid into an always-on, AI-powered surveillance mesh that knows exactly where you sleep, drive, and walk... every single night. What started as 'smart energy saving' has morphed into the backbone of a nationwide tracking system — powering cameras, sensors, and data fusion that governments and tech giants can tap into with a few clicks. No warrants needed when the infrastructure is already watching. Tonight, ZeeeMediaOfficial pulls back the socket on NEMA nodes: how they fit into the bigger surveillance grid, and why your local streetlight might know more about you than your own phone. 🧵

Investigative journalist Whitney Webb: "Ultimately the goal is to herd people into... some sort of digital ID system... connected to all of your internet access... and also to your social media account, with the goal of... having you have a formal government ID linked profile of everything you read and consume online." "All of these global policy agendas that are somehow being implemented in lockstep globally obviously have a transnational group behind them... It's just really the sales pitches to get people to adopt them are different." "On the right it's being framed as a way to stop illegal immigration. On the left it's being framed as a way to stop hate speech... stop cyber bullying online... protect children, and all sorts of things like that." "A lot of it ultimately goes back [to]... the philanthropic arms of oligarchic clans that have tried to create a global system of financial control in private hands for the better part of the last hundred years." "Digital ID is is meant to sort of facilitate that kind of system globally." Credit: Whitney Webb

In 2021, years before the lockstep global rollout of under-16 social media bans, journalist Whitney Webb laid out the WEF's plan to end online anonymity by connecting every user's internet access to a digital ID. "If your ID is linked to your internet access, intelligence agencies know exactly what media you are consuming... and also what you post online. And that has been the goal for a very, very long time." "People aren't necessarily going to consent to that unless they are made to believe that anonymity and privacy online are dangerous."

Whitney Webb, an investigative journalist renowned for exposing the underbelly of power, has sounded a clarion call for a public reckoning on the unchecked fusion of Silicon Valley and the national security state. In a recent interview, she highlighted the growing entanglement of tech giants and government agencies, a partnership that threatens to erode civil liberties under the guise of innovation. Far from being a Luddite, Webb insists that the issue isn’t technology itself but the lack of transparency, accountability, and public debate surrounding its deployment—particularly when AI algorithms, hyped as infallible, are outsourced to make critical decisions impacting lives and freedoms. Webb points to a chilling example from the COVID-19 era in Rhode Island, where then-Governor Gina Raimondo greenlit a partnership with Diagnostic Robotics, an Israeli company tasked with using state health data to predict COVID-19 outbreaks. The goal? To identify “hot spots” and trigger localized lockdowns, restricting commerce and freedom of movement. Yet, as Webb uncovered, the algorithm’s accuracy—touted by the company at roughly 70-80%—was never independently vetted. “What if it’s closer to 60% or 50%?” she asks. “That’s no better than a coin toss, yet we’re handing over immense power to these systems, with real consequences for people’s lives.” This case raises profound questions about the reliability of AI and the motives behind its adoption. Webb notes that Diagnostic Robotics’ use of health data, even if “anonymized,” likely skirted HIPAA protections under emergency COVID-19 justifications. The opacity of these decisions—coupled with the company’s ties to broader tech and security networks—underscores a dangerous trend: private-sector AI, often backed by multimillion-dollar contracts with the national security state, is being sold as a public good without scrutiny. “When companies with deep conflicts of interest are shaping policy and decision-making, we need to ask who benefits,” Webb argues. The hype surrounding AI, she warns, has created a public perception that algorithms are inherently smarter, more efficient, and more cost-effective than human judgment. This narrative, fueled by industry PR and amplified by a complicit media, obscures the reality: many AI systems are unproven, prone to errors, and deployed without rigorous oversight. In Rhode Island, an unverified algorithm could have dictated who could leave their homes or keep their businesses open—a power Webb deems “terrifying” when accuracy is questionable and accountability absent. At the heart of Webb’s critique is the erosion of civil liberties, a process she sees as opportunistic and accelerating. The national security state, long adept at exploiting crises to curtail freedoms, has found a willing partner in Silicon Valley. Together, they form a “fused blob” that operates with impunity, shielded by claims of proprietary technology and national interest. “This isn’t about stifling innovation,” Webb emphasizes. “It’s about ensuring that innovation doesn’t become a trojan horse for surveillance and control.” Webb’s call to action is clear: the public must demand transparency and independent validation of AI systems before they’re entrusted with life-altering decisions. From local governments to federal agencies, outsourcing to algorithms without rigorous debate is a recipe for disaster. She urges Americans to question the narratives pushed by tech giants and their government allies, to scrutinize conflicts of interest, and to prioritize civil liberties over blind faith in AI’s promise. “If we don’t have this discussion now,” she warns, “we risk waking up in a world where our freedoms are algorithmically determined—and no one asked for our consent.”

UK’s £1 Billion PHONE SURVEILLANCE PLAN & Canada’s Quiet TEST RUN “For Your Safety” The UK just dropped a £1 BILLION pandemic plan that turns Big Tech into a mass location tracking network and Canada is heading down the exact same road. The UK Health Security Agency wants real-time location data, AI alerts, and deep partnerships with Silicon Valley to monitor your every move in the next "emergency." Targeted for 2030 rollout. In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth discusses how Canada also went from Covid-19(84) alert apps and ArriveCAN to expanding digital ID systems and how the infrastructure for always-on surveillance is quietly being built on both sides of the Atlantic.

Whitney Webb just exposed how Epstein, Les Wexner, and Big Tech oligarchs are quietly turning the US into a “dystopian techno-feudal state.” “The goal is to privatize the entire government.” “Which would be ruled by a CEO who functions as a dictator.” “It’s happening.” And New Albany, Ohio is the prototype for this dystopian nightmare. “It’s under the thumb of a really evil oligarch that basically financed the most famous sex trafficker in American history.” Les Wexner. “Epstein was intimately involved in the New Albany project, this effort to create a master-planned city … and then basically privatize it under the control of this company.” “Epstein courted top people from the New Albany Company to help him design his island in the US Virgin Islands.” “He had people from New Albany manage his properties, including … Zorro Ranch.” “But New Albany somehow has gotten pretty much no scrutiny, even though you have Ghislaine Maxwell under oath saying that Epstein ran it.” “Epstein’s involvement in New Albany overlaps with efforts by him … to court the CEOs and founders of a lot of the very same Big Tech companies that have now installed themselves all over New Albany.” “That would include people like Mark Zuckerberg, the Google co-founders.” “And then of course you have Jeff Bezos of Amazon having a pretty cozy relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell.” Whitney Webb Jimmy Dore

Investigative journalist Whitney Webb: The World Economic Forum is pushing "for every person's access to the internet to be tied to a digital ID". "If your ID is linked to your internet access, intelligence agencies know exactly what media you are consuming... and also what you post online. And that has been the goal for a very, very long time." "People aren't necessarily going to consent to that unless they are made to believe that anonymity and privacy online are dangerous." "So how exactly can you convince people that that needs to happen? Well, you have some sort of event where anonymous hackers do something online that causes major disruption globally." "And then the consent can be manufactured through fear and panic... that anonymity and privacy needs to be eliminated, that we need to know exactly who is doing what online to prevent a calamity of that scale from ever happening again." "And this is the exact solution that these guys have been cooking for a very long time." Credit: Whitney Webb

The Digital ID Will Change the Lives of Every Australian - For the Worse ... As much as the Government attempts to downplay the importance of introducing a single central digital identifier for all Australians, the truth is that this legislation is the most significant I've encountered during my time in the Senate. It's the glue that holds together the digital control agenda by which every Australian will be controlled, corralled, exploited and then gagged when they speak or act in opposition. The government knows Digital ID will be compulsory by the device of preventing access to government services, banking services, air travel and major purchases for any Australian who does not have a Digital ID. The Digital ID will, in effect, create a live data file of your movements, purchases, accounts and associates containing reference to every piece of data being held in the private and government sector as a first step in a wider agenda. Tech giants have been building huge data files on every Australian for years. Those huge data files that contain every website you visited, every post you made on their social media, everything you have ever bought online. Keywords scanned from conversations overheard by Siri and Alexa in your home are now unmasked. Until now, that data was anonymised using a unique identifier rather than name and address, which has always been there as well. However, tech companies were not allowed to use it or share data with others that included the person's name and address. Until Now. Look for the tech giants to ask for your Digital ID as a requirement of using their service. The point of that exercise is to ensure they put the right name on the right data treasure trove. This is why the Liberal Party have moved amendments to the Digital ID Bill to bring private corporations into this roll out earlier. All those treasure troves of data worth billions, trillions, that have been accumulated for years illegally, by retailers, tech and data companies - all that unrealised profit just sitting there has been too much of a temptation for the Liberal Nationals to resist and is now joined with Labor in pushing Digital ID. There will be no escape from the digital ID. Australians now have a digital version of "papers please" and Australians will never be the same.
