Can we stop talking about "former" intelligence agents and the podcast drama between them and maybe focus on real issues that matter?
How about "independent" media covers the many disturbing developments courtesy of the government (and the broader global governance structure) is currently doing, which in many areas is drastically under-reported, and try and hold actual power to account instead of reality TV-style mudslinging. Isn't it supposed to be different than mainstream media?
In the event these people don't still work for intelligence, they are doing their work of divide and conquer and distract for them. I for one am tired of having this dramaslop algorithmically thrown at me.

My book on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, published in 2022, ended with the point that intelligence assets engaged in blackmail, like Epstein, are no longer needed (and thus became expendable) because the surveillance state can retrieve blackmail directly from your devices or plant incriminating material on them.
Four years later, they are just saying it out in the open.

Whitney Webb just said the quiet part out loud.
Flock cameras are only one part of a “constellation” of surveillance tech.
“They can really spy on you … now from space.”
“You can’t cut those down.”
“This is getting extremely dire.”
“The surveillance state has expanded so much.”
“Flock cameras are bad.”
“But they are one of a constellation … of companies.”
“They are private companies.”
“But they are totally in bed with the national security apparatus.”
And that national security apparatus is quickly moving into something worse than just surveillance.
They’re using surveillance tech to build an AI-powered “predictive” crime apparatus.
“That type of power is weaponized to curb and target dissent.”
“If you’re moving to a paradigm where you can target dissent before it happens, that’s terrible.”
“What we’re talking about here with the Merlin constellation and Satellogic and Palantir is literally what you’re worried about with Flock in space.”
Mark Goodwin: “In April 2022, the first Edge AI-enabled satellite in space was launched by Satellogic and Palantir with assistance from SpaceX.”
Webb: “This is about predictive stuff.”
“It’s about what an algorithm thinks you may do in the future.”
“Or, like, you were at this place where a crime happened … so the algorithm is like, people associated with this hotspot could also be criminals.”
“It’s totally insane.”

NEW from Whitney Webb (me) and Mark Goodwin (@markgoodw_in)
Javier Milei’s administration has been showcasing Patagonia to Silicon Valley executives, culminating in OpenAI’s recent ‘Stargate Argentina’ announcement. The focus of this piece, Emiliano Kargieman, is the man actually developing OpenAI’s Argentine project and boasts significant ties to United States’ military and intelligence, NASA, Palantir and the Silicon Valley stalwarts who helped privatize space.
Here, we detail how Kargieman has said the quiet apart loud about how data center construction isn't about "making jobs", it's about making money, and how he has suggested that OpenAI is a front for the accelerated build-out of AI infrastructure (financed by an intentional debt bubble). He has also suggested that Stargate Argentina will eventually be used, not by OpenAI (which Kargieman anticipates will collapse when the AI bubble pops), but by the Argentine State.
In looking at Javier Milei's policies with respect to AI domestically in Argentina, the "digital transformation" of the Argentine State - which Stargate Argentina hopes to further advance - is largely for "predictive" behavioral control of its population. We also touch on some of the likely motivators of Peter Thiel's move to Argentina and where he fits into all of this.

After years of doing video interviews with other outlets, but rarely my own, we have decided to re-launch the Unlimited Hangout podcast as a video show. Our first episode is now live and features a discussion between myself and @markgoodw_in focusing on the first installment of our investigation into Polymarket and its origins and future ambitions.
Watch our pilot episode here:
youtube.com/watch?v=x7lzXv2v…
We ultimately decided to publish on YouTube in part to try and fight against all of the channels impersonating me, with and without AI (though most seem to use it). Previously, YouTube would not let us report impersonators without having our own channel.
This channel is the only presence of Unlimited Hangout (and me!) on YouTube and I would really appreciate it if you all could help report these really annoying impostors who have been trying to cheapen and degrade my work and research for years now for their monetized clickbait garbage.
Note: Unlimited Hangout members get early access, not only to this episode and all future episodes, but also to our two demo episodes, which discuss data centers and the upcoming launch of X Money. If you'd like to join to support our journalism, the new show and obtain these perks (and more!) click the link in the tweet below this one.

🚨 Pet Safety Reminder 🚨
Fireworks can cause pets to panic and run away. Keep them indoors, keep them calm, and make sure their ID tags and microchip information are current.
One night of preparation can prevent a lifetime of heartbreak.

We've been quiet recently because Mark Goodwin and I have been working to write the most comprehensive investigation into Polymarket's origins and ambitions to date.
We found that Polymarket's "official" origin story, that Shayne Coplan founded the company alone in 2020 and then built "the company in his bathroom", is a lie. Polymarket really started years earlier as another company called TokenBnk that was deeply tied to Israeli interests, specifically a crypto company founded by Benjamin Netanyahu's niece and nephew. Coplan has actively tried to obfuscate this company from his story and it's not the only thing either.
In Part 1 of this two-part series, we unravel the real history of Polymarket, directly connecting the company to Peter Thiel's efforts to resurrect controversial DARPA programs from its now defunct Information Awareness Office. Polymarket appears to have been chosen by Thiel and his associates to succeed in resurrecting DARPA's Policy Analysis Market where another Thiel-linked company, Augur, had previously failed.
Stay tuned for Part 2, where we explore the current influence of prediction markets and Polymarket, including how an insidious effort to have prediction markets replace representative democracy as a governance model is already being slowly implemented by the White House.

When it was reported that Wegmans grocery stores were utilizing facial recognition technology (FRT) to collect data on their customers, the company declined to disclose the software-end of its surveillance machine. Their reticence may be related to the FRT industry’s deep ties to the national security state — leaving consumers’ data just a knock away from American intelligence agencies.

Stop calling them "data centers."
Call them what they actually are:
MASS SURVEILLANCE CENTERS.
