Keaton
Hey, this is the Jimmy Door Show, Keaton speaking. Who is calling, please?
J.D. Vance
Hey, what's up, dudes? J.D. vance. Wait, what?
Keaton
Oh, hey, Mr. Vice President. I. I said this is Keaton speaking.
J.D. Vance
Literally. What is going on right now?
Keaton
Well, Jimmy is off doing some shows on the road and I'm filling in for him.
J.D. Vance
Okay, I'm pretty sure he's not allowed to do that.
Keaton
I promise you he is.
J.D. Vance
Well, okay. I'll look into it. I'll have someone in my office do some research. It seems like people who host shows aren't allowed to go off and then do a completely other job sometimes.
Keaton
It happens all the time.
J.D. Vance
Yeah, okay, well, I just don't like change. It goes back to my childhood, but, hey, whatever, man. I like meeting new dudes. And now I know a new dude named Keaton. A right man.
Keaton
Well, good to meet you too, sir. What's on your mind?
J.D. Vance
You know, I was going to call in and talk about something super smart with Jimmy, like I usually do, but this whole maximum big surprise thing here made me Totally forget what I was going to say.
Keaton
Oh, I hate when that happens.
J.D. Vance
I know, right? Anyway, I guess I'll just freeball some stuff. Just kind of off the top of my head. Hey, have you been watching the Puff Daddy trial?
Keaton
I'm vaguely aware of it, yes.
J.D. Vance
God damn, dude. That fucker's going to supermax. I love. Everybody knew he was just doing this stuff too, like making albums and winning awards. Here he is, one of the most dangerous and depraved people ever. Let's dance around to his music.
Keaton
Yeah.
J.D. Vance
Yeah, I'm glad. I always thought that hip hop sucked. A lot of people I knew like rap music because I grew up in a pretty heavily white trash situation, but I was always like, you got to be kidding me with this garbage. I feel vindicated. All my old friends are like, no, not Puffy. Affects me like zero. Gary Glitter, though. That one hurts.
Keaton
Okay, all right, I can see that.
J.D. Vance
Whatever. Not important. Hey, I keep telling Germany what to do. That's been fun.
Keaton
Oh, oh, okay.
J.D. Vance
Yeah, dude. A lot of Trump administration figures have become very vocal about German politics, and Germans absolutely hate it, which is funny. So we just sort of keep doing it more, you know?
Keaton
And what's the reasoning behind this?
J.D. Vance
Well, Europe in general is being really dumb right now because not just Germany, but other countries have this thing where you can go to jail for Facebook posts and stuff. Like, moms are going to prison in Britain because they had two chardonnays and said something mean about immigrants. That's kind of insane to me. Like, that's literally stupid. Not in a comedy sketch way. That's genuinely a miscarriage of justice.
Keaton
Right, right.
J.D. Vance
Any country that does that should be embarrassed. So because of that, some Republicans in the US vocally supported the AfD, the.
Keaton
German FAR right party.
J.D. Vance
Right. Alternative for Deutschland, which means alternative for Germany. German is such a weird language because the first two words are almost totally correct, but then Deutschland is their word for Germany. Like, that's way off, dude. Anyway, yeah, they're like the far right party, but, like, they say they're alternative, so they're like Radiohead Nazis or something. Anyway, Elon Musk literally campaigned with them and the Germans went crazy. Like, these guys are the new fascists, and here's the richest dude in the world palling around with them.
Keaton
Are they legit neo Nazis?
J.D. Vance
I don't know, man. Maybe, maybe not. It really doesn't matter to me. I'm just trying to make people mad, you know, that's kind of my job. So the German government is trying to like, ban them. Say they're a terrorist group or some shit.
Keaton
Okay?
J.D. Vance
So then I say, no, you know, I don't like Nazis either. But you have to debate on the stage of ideas. You can't silence people, which is an American idea that Europeans hate. So the president of Germany was like, we believe in freedom and democracy in Europe. Those are our values, while at the same time trying to make a political party illegal, which is like the irony of the century.
Keaton
Well, do you think maybe Europeans have this attitude towards quashing far right movements early on because of their history in the 1930s and 40s, the destruction that fascism brought down on them?
J.D. Vance
I guess maybe. I never thought about it. Hey, man, you see this Puff Daddy trial?
Keaton
We. We already discussed that, Mr. Vice President.
J.D. Vance
Oh, my God, you're right. I'm so sorry. I'm still just so turned around and confused by you being a different dude. I'm off my game. You're cool, man. You're a cool dude, but I'm just. I'm spent, man. I don't even know what I'm saying. I hope we can hang out sometimes, but I gotta go. Keep it real, new homie.
Keaton
All right. Thank you, Mr. Vice President.
Jimmy Dore
Establishment media sucks.
Zoe Saldana
August Light and so good luck.
Jimmy Dore
We can't afford.
Zoe Saldana
The medium.
Jimmy Dore
Speeds and jumps the medium and hits them head on. It's the Chimney Door Show. Derrick Bros is an author, journalist, documentary filmmaker and activist from Houston, Texas. He's written five books, including the latest, how to Opt out of the Technocratic State. His work focuses on practical steps individuals can take to reduce their dependence on technocracy, the importance of building parallel systems, and the role of community in achieving long term independence. His journalism can be found on the consciousresistance.com, the mind unleashed, Minpret News, and the Last American Vagabond. Welcome to the show, Derrick Brose. Hey, Derek.
Zoe Saldana
Hey, thanks for having me on, Jimmy. I appreciate it.
Jimmy Dore
So I wanted to bring you on because there's been a lot of chatter about what's going on with Palantir, which we've covered Palantir in the past, which is a complete CIA cutout, but it's one of these tech information gathering organizations that put you in surveillance. Right. So the Patriot Voice has did a. Did a thread on this and I'm just going to go through it. By the way, this is a huge admission for the. For the Patriot Voice to be saying all this. Trump has tapped Palantir to create an entire database of all American citizens. It brings me no pleasure at all. To inform you that Donald Trump is actively working with the very same deep state he claimed he would obliterate to create the largest surveillance database of Americans ever created. This plan is in lockstep with the UN Agenda 2030 goals and the WEF's Fourth Industrial Revolution MAGA. If you are observing this from afar and holding onto any semblance of hope that Trump is who he said he was, sadly it's time to wake up to the brutal realization. That's big for patriot voices. That's like Keith Olbermann admitting that Ellen is evil. That's a big deal. Trump is constructing the New World Order. That's what Trump is doing. You thought you all voted for the opposite of that. I thought you did too. Just as I unfortunately suspected. He has been over the past couple of months since his inauguration and this news confirms that. First you must understand who Palantir is and what they are doing. I'll give you an example. Palantir is the same company which can target any Palestinian in Gaza and make kill targets out of them at will. For the idf, that operation is a test run for what is coming to America using the exact same tech. So whatever we do to people overseas, it's just a matter of time before we do it to ourselves at home. Trump has allowed the Technocracy industrial complex in Silicon Valley to completely take over his administration with Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, David Sacks and J.D. vance at the helm. So no matter what they may tell you, their vision is not one of America first freedom, but of self recognized authoritarianism and our subservience to the state. Steve Bannon came on this show, he and warned about this called techno feudalism. With the creation of the Golden Dome, many believe the lie that this will be to protect America from outside attack. Seriously, when was the last time a missile was launched at America? But the reality is that this dome is actually a true to form version of Skynet. If you if you have seen the Terminator movies, you will know what I'm talking about. Basically it will be the world's largest surveillance dome. The that's what Trump is building. It's not a missile defense system because those don't work anyway, but it's a surveillance system which those do work. It's run by AI drones, biometrics and Starlink satellites tracking your every move. So it's like China, but it's here in the United States. And so just to let you know, so Palantir is like the Stasi, the KGB and the SS all put under one digital Skynet roof. It's like the Target store of targeting any opposition. That's what it's like. I have been warning of this for a while, despite many of who have attacked me. But the reality of this situation is that the Trump administration is working at warp speed to turn America into the same surveillance super state nightmare that is China. The writing is on the wall. With the Palantir being officially tapped to not only make a database for the irs, which we were totally lied to about, being dismantled, but our own massive digital prison is being constructed right in front of our eyes. The data will be weaponized against us in the coming social credit beast system. So it's coming. Don't sit there and tell me that it's still better than Kamala because she was never going to win anyhow. Trump was selected for this time to fulfill this plan. And there is no Democrat that could have pulled this off without much resistance. But Trump is the perfect guy to pull this off because he quiets a lot of the natural opposition to this. Right? Just like when Barack Obama was president, it quieted all those people who were normally speaking out against his warmongering and his giveaways to the banks. Those people shut up because they didn't want to criticize Barack Obama. Donald Trump is the same thing. So the people who would normally stand up to this kind of digital currency, this kind of surveillance state apparatus, they're now being quieted because of their support for Donald Trump. It's time to face facts. Both parties are just as bad as Republicans see the Democrats. It's just different faces, disguises and personalities which are put in place by the same masters to fool us into thinking we have choice. Well, we don't. You have owners. They own you. George Carlin. That's exactly right. So let me bring in our guest. Tell me about how Palantir is expanding their surveillance. If you think the government will only use these tools to track illegal immigrants, think again. So tell me, how did this come about with Palantir? And they came. They're basically. They were not a company. And then the CIA took billions of dollars and gave it to Alex Karp and said, start a company. Isn't that basically what happened?
Zoe Saldana
Yeah, Jimmy, that's very true. The beginnings of Palantir relating to CIA venture capital funding from NQ Tel, which many of the big tech firms have received in the post 911 world. And absolutely the creation of Palantir really comes from the. The end, the alleged end of the controversial US Government surveillance program known as total information. Aw. And, you know, I want to say, just as an aside, I'm so glad that a platform as big as yours and, you know, Patriot Voice, I don't really follow him, but others are ready to have this conversation about Palantir and Peter Thiel, because my colleagues, Whitney Webb, Ryan Christian at the Last American Vagabond, James Corbett, who you've talked to, and, you know, a few others I could name, have been really trying to sound the alarm bells about this since before the election and telling people this was probably where things were going because we could see, you know, the ties with Palantir and Peter Thiel and J.D. vance, et cetera, and as you said, they come straight from the intelligence background, comes straight from CIA. And then not only that, just last year we saw that Palantir, along with Musk's companies and OpenAI, Andrew and others, they actually formed a new pact where they're essentially trying to make themselves be the. The new, fresh, hip, young military industrial complex contractors, like, they're seeking to replace Boeing, Northrop Grumman and others, Raytheon, and kind of make themselves the next generation of that. So for me, this is. Shouldn't be too surprising. I get that a lot of people did put hope and faith and, you know, Trump would be better than the other side, but I also think your analysis and what you and Kurt were saying at the end of the Last segment is 100% true. And what Patriot Voice was saying there, there is no political solution. Both of these parties are owned and managed by these people. And I also think it's important for people to understand this isn't just a private surveillance firm, which is problematic on its own. But both Alex Karp and. And Peter Thiel are steering committee members of the Bilderberg Group, which is getting ready to meet next week in Switzerland. And for those who don't know or haven't heard of the Bilderberg Group, over the years they have been one of the most secretive kind of roundtable groups representing the true hidden ruling class. I wouldn't say they are the ruling class, but this is a private, secretive meeting of heads of state, big executives, media people, bankers, finance, et cetera, that's been meeting since the 1950s. And they meet every May or June, largely in secret. It's only the last decade or so that they put up a website and occasionally the Guardian, Charlie Skelton will report on it. But for the most part, the mainstream still ignores it. So you have this secretive group with Peter Thiel and Alex Karp. Who have been attendees for a long time, but have become steering committee members, along with people like Eric Schmidt, who's the former CEO of Google, and other folks, other deep state actors who are the steering committee member of that group. They found all these companies, including Palantir, through Peter Thiel's foundation, the Theo Fellowship, and so many other organizations he's influencing. He's got his tentacles everywhere. And I've written some articles over at the Last American Vagabond showing how many Peter Thiel acolytes are a part of Doge and have been a part of the Trump administration starting right away in January. And it's, it's at least I would say 15 to 20 or more people in very important positions that have a connection to Palantir directly or to Peter Thiel and Alex Karp and one of their many different affiliated organizations.
Jimmy Dore
Well, let's go over what's actually happening right now. So this is an article from Reason just the other day. And it says when people complain about big tech, they tend to mean companies like Meta, Google and Twitter, entities providing free tools and platforms that we can choose whether to use. Much less attention is directed at the tech companies helping to the federal government consolidate and analyze data on all of us companies like the data analytics firm Palantir, created by PayPal, co founder and Donald Trump supporter Peter Thiel. Palantir has. A lot of people have taken cheap shots at me, saying that somehow I work for Peter Thiel and that I don't criticize him when I've done so repeatedly, but I just want to throw that out. Palantir has long been connected to government surveillance. It was founded in part by with CIA money. It has served as an Immigration and Customs enforcement contractor since 2011, and it's been used for everything from local law enforcement to COVID 19 efforts. But the prominence of Palantir tools in federal agencies seem to be growing under President Trump. The company has received more than 113 million in federal government spending since Trump took office, including additional funds from existing contracts as well as new contracts with the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon. That's according to the New York Times. And this, by the way, that figure does not include the almost billion dollars that contract that the Department of Defense awarded the company just last week, which, by the way, has not been spent. So Palantir's technology has largely been used by the military and the intelligence agencies, the immigration enforcers and the police. But its use could be expanding, you think? Representatives of Palantir are also speaking to at least two other agencies, the Social Security Administration and the Internal Revenue Service, about buying its technology, according to six government officials and Palantir employees with knowledge of the discussion. Along with the Trump administration's efforts to share more data across federal agencies, this signals that Palantir's huge data analysis capabilities could wind up being wielded against all Americans. I think we could get rid of the could. This won't allow the authorities. This won't allow the authorities to watch us more, so much as it helps them make use of all the data it's already got on us. But that's unsettling, too. The ultimate concern is a panopticon of a single federal database with everything the government knows about every single person in the country. What we are seeing is likely the first step in creating that centralized dossier on everyone in the country. So if you were worried about digital currency and you're worried about, if you protested, would they debank you and shut down like they did to the truckers? And yes, that's what, that's what this is all about. Washington already has a ton of data on all of us, but it's often separated across systems and agencies. By linking it all together, the government could create much more detailed profiles on all of us. More efficient, probably, but also more dangerous. Right now, Trump administration is using Palantir tools for immigration enforcement. Those tools could easily be applied to other administration targets, including immigration protesters, pro Palestinian protesters, and so on. Anybody who protested anything, a pipeline through your neighborhood, anything, they're going to use it against you and they'll call you a terrorist. And of course, a future Democratic administration could use them to track people for its own ends, too. Once we've got giant data troves on every American that can easily be analyzed and shared across agencies, it seems unlikely that any administration will say, no thanks, shut it down, and we don't need total information on everybody. Perhaps when we worry about Big Tech, we should spend less time focused on what people can say on social media and, and more time focused on the companies actively helping to expand their surveillance state. So, just to let you know, Palantir's database isn't like the others. It's going to combine tax filings, student debt, Social Security, bank accounts, medical claims, immigration status. No previous database system has ever centralized this much personal info across various federal agencies. And so this is the kind of stuff that you've been warning people about? Correct. And what do you think this, do you think people are going to wake up to this?
Zoe Saldana
I don't know, Jimmy, Well, I want to say that tweet right there, which is my buddy Jason Bassett over at the Free thought project. Jason's 100% right. And the reason article at the end is, right, that this is new in the sense that it's breaking down walls of agencies that have to some degree had separation, or at least that's what we've been told. You know, the CIA is in their own world, FBI is in their own world, ncia, et cetera. Trump's executive order, as the New York Times reported and as everybody's been picking up, was about so called streamlining and making these processes more efficient. And really this goes back to the post 911 world. This was right after 9 11. The sort of mainstream official story is that, well, because the different agencies weren't able to interact correctly, you know, we missed some vital information and this allowed these alleged terrorist attacks to happen. I think many people out there now question that official narrative. But that same story is being used in 2025 to say in order for us to more correctly track immigrants or violent gang members, et cetera, we need to have it set up so these systems are not siloed and separated. And for anybody who's been around for a little while or anybody who's still out there paying attention, I want you to go check out a 2006 documentary called From Freedom to Fascism. Aaron Russo, who is a Hollywood director, he made this documentary before his death. And way back then he was warning about the dangers of integrating these systems. And they kind of have this silly skit that they do where somebody calls in for pizza and the systems are all connected. And so the pizza person says, oh, we noticed, Mr. Smith, that you have, your cholesterol is high. So if you get this extra large pizza with all the sausage and whatever, we're going to have to raise your insurance rates. And, you know, just all these different ways that the interconnectivity can not only be problematic for surveillance and privacy and liberty, obviously, but in all these other unseen ways that people might not be thinking about. And I really hope people are ready to start questioning this because, you know, you pointed out in the previous conversations about the different roles Palantir has been playing. I just wanted to make note of a couple others because they talked about the irs, they talked about being used for immigration purposes, obviously. I wrote an article recently called welcome to the Palantir World Order. And as I said a moment ago, Elon's Doge, they both, of course, come from the PayPal mafia. They've had a long relationship. Doge is filled with Peter Thiel acolytes, Palantir acolytes. The US Government is also also working on overhauling all their federal payment systems through a Peter Thiel connected company called Ramp. And then Peter Thiel and his companies are also now investing in nuclear energy and through their connections with the Trump administration, are trying to get the Department of Energy to start, start working on low enriched uranium, which is part of them trying to create new data centers, which is what's going to power all of this digital technocratic surveillance state they're building because, you know, they need a lot of power to do it. So that's another thing they're getting involved with nuclear energy, the irs, as we mentioned. The other one is you were talking about that. You guys were talking about the Golden Dome before. Of course, that is a Peter Thiel project through Palantir, but it's also partnered with Elon Musk's Space X that's helping do that Golden Dome. And I personally don't think anybody should be blindly trusting or just trusting in general, Peter Thiel, Alex Karp, and I would include Elon Musk despite anything he may be saying in the news lately. Because, you know, when you look at what's really going on, Elon Musk is also a military industrial contracts contractor and his program under Space SpaceX. People know about SpaceX. They know about Starlink, the sort of public side of the, the Internet. But the military side is called Star Shield. And we only learned about this in the last year. This is another $1.8 billion contract with the Geospatial Agency, which handles all the US satellites. Every time Elon does a little rocket launch and everybody cheers it on. What they're also doing is they're working with the military and sending out classified payloads of satellites that are going all around the world. And sure, some of it's going to Starlink for public Internet use, but. But I wrote an article a while back talking about how the head of the Geospatial agency, he actually was quoted as saying, you can't hide that once they finish this Star Shield program, all the bad guys, of course it won't be used against good people and just regular folks like us, but all the bad guys will no longer be able to hide. So, I mean, really what I think is we're seeing this sort of unfolding of this PayPal mafia, which has been, you know, not necessarily behind the scenes, but most people haven't been paying attention to them until the last Couple of years have been really working with intelligence agencies directly with the CIA and other intelligence agencies, and now directly with the military, and of course now directly with the White House. This is unprecedented access. It doesn't mean that it just started with Trump, of course, or anything like that. But the way I see these things work is that one party does something and they pass the baton to the next one. Like you were just describing earlier with Obama and with Bush, and that's just been this perpetual thing. And I know people want to believe there's somebody coming to save the day. I personally believe this has been a long psyop of making Trump look like this anti establishment. I also agree with what you said earlier. I don't trust the Butler assassination in any means, at any way at all. I think that was part of this to get people to say he was touched by the hand of God. And yes, now I got to vote for him. And, you know, Mark Zuckerberg and all the big tech guys come out and cheer for him. So I'm very skeptical of that. And I don't think that's beyond the realm of possibility with everything that we know. I mean, we're talking about. You mentioned Epstein earlier. We, you know, we could talk all day about all the various intelligence operations and just depravity that we know the US Government and other governments have been involved in. And I just personally don't understand how people can be deep in that research and then at the same time turn around and think that voting is going to fix the problem that we're facing. And I'm not saying we shouldn't try to do something, but I long ago have let go of the idea that voting and politics is going to fix this because they simply have too much control over that system. And the intelligence agencies combined with the big tech companies, like if you go back to Cambridge Analytica and all the data that we saw they had access to, they are now able to just take our social media profiles, turn it into an algorithm, and take the exact things that they know we want to hear that will feed right into our biases and just feed that back to us. And this is why many people are skeptical of talking heads on the Internet or whether it's Elon Musk or billionaires or whoever, because we understand the sort of the true depth of this operation. We can't necessarily say, okay, this person is working for the CIA. You know, people got suspicions or whatever, and some of that's unhealthy. But my point is that people are overall, they're sick of these lies, I think, and they're really trying to find a way to get to real solutions. And I hope people will start to see that neither of the big parties are going to save us. I don't know if the political system will save us at all.

We've had her on the show before and she was in the George Walker, George W. Bush administration. And ever since then she's been kind of a truth teller. So I'm going to play this video of Katherine Austin Fitz and we'll get your response.
Katherine Austin Fitts
And what it looks to me like Trump and Musk are implementing the control grid at high speed. What you have to say is, okay, to do a control grid, we need a digital ID implemented that's very high quality, high precise. Check the box. We need an all digital financial system. Check the box. You know, we need a way of doing interoperable money. Check the box. If you look at what Doge is doing, we need a social credit system. Check the box.
Zoe Saldana
Wait, what do you mean by that?
Katherine Austin Fitts
What Doge is doing, Danny, they've been aggregating this kind of data. I used to call it the data beast. So they've been aggregating this kind of powerful data since the 90s. So I don't think think this is all new.
Zoe Saldana
So for example, you IRS data, healthcare data, and combining it all together into one system with combined with AI.
Katherine Austin Fitts
It's interesting because Musk was out raising capital for XAI and had to deal with Paler AI at the same time. And my guess, you know, I think.
Zoe Saldana
Palantir has an AI.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that.
Katherine Austin Fitts
Well, according to published reports, Xai and Paler had made a partnership. And, and when Musk was sucking all this data out, and my guess is that data is, you know, they, they, they sucked it into the AI on the just do it method. So, so if I wanted to stop fraud in the US government. I would say there's 20 trillion missing from DOD, there's a trillion missing from HUD. I'm going to go in, figure out where it went and get it back.
Jimmy Dore
Right.
Katherine Austin Fitts
That's not what they did. If you said to me I want to build a social credit system that can be used to enforce control against the American people and basically lock them down with both enforcement and social credit, I would go get the Social Security data, the IRS data, and the treasury payment data. And that's exactly what they did.
Jimmy Dore
So. So Trump is actually building a control grid of like, it's like he's a, he's a robot right out of the wtf. Or, or China for that matter. It's the exact opposite of what MAGA thought they were voting for. Right. I mean, that this. Let me just get your response to what she said. That's happening, right?
Zoe Saldana
100%. And Catherine Austin Fitz of Solari is, does great work. She's part of the independent media alliance that myself and Whitney and Ryan formed. And Catherine has been ahead of this. In fact, that documentary I mentioned from 2006, Katherine was in it. She's been warning about this coming and she's been able to see this. And I will just point out too what she's describing there and is it's important for people to understand that that deep relationship that Palantir and Peter Thiel and Elon Musk have, I know that there's this. I'm just trying to crack through the illusion that people think Elon is a hero. I personally think that is another psyop that a lot of people are falling into. And Elon may have just played his role and then now he's stepping away. What people need to understand is that Doge, the actual purpose of Doge, as Catherine was lying, was outlining there, is to make government more efficient, but not in the sense of make it more efficient to work better for people, but to make it a more technocratic government. And for those who don't really understand or know the history of technocracy, I'll just briefly just outline.
Jimmy Dore
You know what? Hang on, if you don't mind you, I'm going to actually hold off one second on that. And because I'm going to, I'm going to show that short documentary that you, you put together, which is very. But just to kind of put a button on this Palantir segment of this of today's show. It took just six weeks to go from ice, partnering with Palantir to track immigrants to the government partnering with Palantir to track all Americans. That's, that's from trump file.org and here's the guy who runs Palantir. We've showed him before, he's a true psychopath. He's the perfect guy that the CIA would pick to do this job. And Reed Cooley tweets out CIA agent and head of Palantir, Alex Karp says his company software single handedly stop the far right in Europe. So let's listen to him say this.
Zoe Saldana
Look, we built PG which single handedly.
Jimmy Dore
Stopped the rise of the far right in Europe. We built Foundry, which was. So when he says they stopped. So what he's saying is they stopped a populist political movement that was spurned on by open borders policies that was spurned on by more war and NATO. So what he's saying is this CIA guy, which is what he is, their company couldn't have started without the money from the CIA. The CIA, there wasn't a company, the CIA gave him billions of dollars and said go start doing this. And they did it. And so he's bragging that they actually squashed populist political movements. And the way they do that cover for, for doing that and talking about it publicly is they call it far right. Well, if there's anything more far right than funding literal Nazis, which is what the European Union is doing in Ukraine, that I don't know what it is because that's what far right is. They're talking about people pushing back against open borders and people pushing back against censorship. That's not far right. That used to be called unions activity in the United States and lefties, but they call it far right just like they call me far right. So any time the establishment wants to discredit you or dismiss you, they call you far right. And that's what he's doing there. What he's really admitting to is that we, the CIA use their technology to stop a populist political movement. The same kind of populist political movement. MAGA thought Donald Trump was going to be and it turns out he was a wolf in sheep's clothing. And it was a Trojan horse. Because now that Donald Trump is inside the beast, he's unleashing pukes like this on you and he's going to create a social credit system for you, he's going to create a digital ID for you and digital banking. And it's all going to be undone under one thing. And it's all going to be run by Guys like this, not people you vote for. Donald Trump doesn't even understand how this works. So let's, let's listen to what else he has to say. So used to distribute the COVID vaccine and saved millions of lives. So they were involved in Covid forcing people to take experimental medical treatments at the behest of the state, which is really the techno feudal corporate state. Globally we built what we call Monte Multi Constellation and what's often called the digital kill chain and their category defining products. So when you deliver these products to the market, just honestly, people say this isn't going to exist, this isn't valuable, but then it changes the market and.
Zoe Saldana
Then the market is the Palantir market. Now that doesn't mean everyone in the world is going to buy our product.
Jimmy Dore
But it means most of the sensible people in the world are going to.
Zoe Saldana
Define buy from the category we defined.
Jimmy Dore
So what he's saying there is that, you know, you've heard this term the Internet of bodies, right? And so through the Internet of bodies, they're gonna even know our thoughts. And this is very much like, you know, science fiction. I remember the Minority Report with Tom Cruise where they could predict that you were going to do a crime and then go arrest you. That's what this, that's what they're kind of talking about here. And so if you're, if you are a dissenter to the establishment or you are in opposition to the establishment, so they're going to use this against you. They're even able to, so they're even able to do pre thought crimes. This is all using AI, right? And so here the Patriot Void tweets out. Palantir is literally the deepest part of the deep state. And Trump is rolling out the red carpet for them to usher in what will certainly be the beast system, a cashless society in which you will be tracked and monitored every second of every day and your behavior will dictate how you get to live in society. This is absolutely the great reset and build back better repackaged MAGA style, the biggest rug pull in history. Would you agree with that, Derek, that this is the biggest rug pull in history?
Zoe Saldana
Absolutely. I mean, it's ironic to me, Jimmy, that just two, three, four, five years ago, some of the same people that were protesting in Klaus Schwab, the World Economic Forum calling for many of the same things now that Palantir and Trump's tech buddies are doing, we're fighting it then, I think rightfully so, and we're being targeted for doing so. And now Many places. I'm sure you and your audience are seeing the same things I'm seeing online. There's a lot of people making excuses. It's no big deal. We've had databases like this. It's, you know, or even the QAnon sort of stories. I've seen people saying, no, Trump's actually working with Palantir because he's going to target the state, not the regular people. It's just used to target the deep state. So don't worry about it. It's all very sad. And I'm thinking, I see you have my book up there. I mean, if people want to learn more about solutions, I know we're going to play my little mini document in a moment. But I do want to encourage people. You can download my book for free@theconsciousresistance.com how to the consciousresistance.com how to There's a free audiobook and a free PDF. I wrote it the month before COVID started because in my journalism, I focused on facial recognition, social credit scores, and digital technology. And I started thinking, like, how are we going to thrive and survive outside of what they're building? And so I put a lot of time and thought into that, but I didn't think it was going to happen so quickly. But nevertheless, I think people need to understand, no matter who's president, the true ruling class, what I call the predator class, they operate behind and above the political system and political parties. And so no matter which corporate parties in there, they will find a way to advance that agenda. And often they do so by presenting a hero, whether that's Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump or whoever it may be. They will continue, and I'm sure we'll see another one in the next couple of years. Some sort of grassroots hero will rise and promise they're going to fix and save us from Trump. And, you know, it'll just keep going back and forth until people are ready to see what's really going on.
Jimmy Dore
And so what? How can. So that. Your book, how to Opt out of the Technocratic State. How can people opt out? Can you give us a couple of, you know.
Zoe Saldana
Sure.
Jimmy Dore
Couple of ways to do that.
Zoe Saldana
I'm an extremist. I'll say that. I try to push very hard into this. I haven't used banks since 2008. I only have a passport. I'm not like a sovereign citizen or something like that. I simply just try to rethink and reevaluate my relationship with technology and different forms. So I opt out of the facial recognition at the airport as it's rolling out while we still can. I opt out of the TSA body scanners. I don't use Google, I don't use Microsoft. I'm on a Linux laptop right now. You know, things like that. So I try to take steps I can in my own individual life and encourage other people to do the same. I also don't use big banks. You know, I encourage people to use credit unions or to look into any alternative. You know, I'm not going to tell you what to do. Maybe there's private Monero, you know, cryptos like Monero or Gift Economy or Barter, whatever you're into. I think the point is that we should focus, I believe, focus our energy on building parallel, alternative systems outside of what they're building. You know, even in that infamous essay and video that people saw all back in 2020, the World Economic Forum, you will know nothing to be happy if you go back and read the original article, which came out in 2016 and was published at the Wall Street Journal as well as the World Economic Forum's website. Even in that dystopian description of the future where you have no privacy and no property and it's some alleged utopia. Even in that description, the World Economic Forum says, sometimes I worry about the people we left behind, the people who now live outside of the cities in 18th and 19th century towns. And they kind of make it seem like we're living in poverty out there. But I believe even that is somewhat of an acknowledgment that there will be people who opt out of these systems and live maybe outside that. I don't mean like we're living in some dystopia. I think it's possible through things like permaculture and using technology in a private way to start to lay the foundation for a path for humanity that doesn't involve being subsumed by this world they're building. But we have to work fast because very quickly as digital IDs are rolling out, which is already happening and already advanced by Covid, as facial recognition advances, social credit scores, things like this, it is going to become increasingly difficult to operate. You know, anybody who's already operating in the mainstream system without a credit score understands how difficult it is currently. But imagine when that's the social credit score you were describing, Jimmy, and you know, you want to opt out of those systems. If there's nowhere to opt into or there's no alternative, then we're essentially screwed. There's nothing to do and we end up like China, where activists can have their WeChat 1 app to rule them all turned off if they try to organize anti Covid protests or people can have their bank accounts turned off and things like that. We're already seeing the early version of that with Patreon, PayPal and some of the banking, like you mentioned, the Canadian, Canadian truckers movement. But it's going to get much worse. And so I focus on how do we opt out and build alternative parallel systems, whether that's health, finance, education, food, all these different areas. You know, one, just real quick. Other example, if you don't like Monsanto, you don't like the big box stores. You, I'm sure there's a farmer's market somewhere near you go meet the people who are growing the food you like, get to know the farmers. I'm not saying you need to become a farmer, but start to build those relationships so that you're not dependent on the big box stores that tried to force you to wear masks or tried to make you take a PCR test to get in or whatever. I mean, I think it's. It's really just so important at this moment for people to start thinking about these ideas. I tend to call this exit and build. We exit from unsustainable slavery systems, as I call them, that do not align with our values and our principles and instead focus on building or supporting those who are building new systems that are aligned with our values. And personally, I don't think politics is going to fix it. I don't think violence is the answer. Apathy is definitely not the answer. So I really try to be proactive in my own life and kind of lead by example. You mentioned I'm from Texas originally. I now live in Mexico. I decided to move like six years ago. We've got land, we're going food and trying to spread these ideas to other people. And I know more and more people who took this idea during COVID and realized, you know what, I'm living in Seattle, for example, and Seattle is a total Covid hellhole. So I'm going to move to a smaller town or I'm going to move to Texas or Florida. That's kind of the exit and build idea as well. It's about exiting from systems, but it can also mean exiting from a physical location. If you realize the place you're living in is not conducive to liberty and privacy and is going to be, you know, a bad place to be in the future, you might decide to move to the town over, the state over, or in my case, the country over. Whatever you do, I think the point is to start thinking about how we, on our, in our own hands, in our own lives and in our local communities can really get active. And I'll just throw out one other little tip that's in my book if people want to learn more. If you're in a situation where you don't have anybody in your local area, I want to invite you to go to freedomcells.org as in the cells in your body freedom C-E-L l s.org it's a simple place where people can use our maps and search and find like minded groups and people in their area and connect in the real world to start talking about these ideas. So I encourage people to check that one out too.
Jimmy Dore
So Elon Musk is going scorched earth on Donald Trump and the Republicans because turns out they were all lying when they were campaigning. To you, it turns out it was a big lie. Doge was a big lie. I think Elon Musk feels used and.
Elon Musk
Because they appreciate getting hit in the.
Jimmy Dore
Eye and he probably didn't appreciate getting punched in the eye by whatever Deep State guy did that to him. So Trump was supposed to come in and blow up the Deep State and all he's doing is fortifying it. That's exactly what's happening. And in case you don't know that, well, here's Elon Musk to let you know part of it. They never went to the Pentagon. In fact, Donald Trump and the GOP are drastically increasing the Pentagon's budget. The place where there's more waste, fraud and I mean, if there's a ground zero for waste, fraud and abuse, it's the Pentagon. They never went to the Pentagon. They never did that. They promised to. Elon Musk promised to. He actually said he was going to do that. He said, oh, it sounds like a job for Doge. And they never, they never did it. Now I'm going to guess Elon Musk wasn't allowed to. Maybe, maybe he didn't go punching your.
Elon Musk
Eye trying to go there.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, maybe, maybe he didn't go there because he's also a defense contractor and he gets a ton of money from them but, but from the Pentagon and he didn't want to piss them off. Who knows? Here he is, he goes, I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Wow. Wow. Shame on those who voted for it shame. He's saying shame on Donald Trump. He's saying shame on the Speaker Johnson. He's saying shame on everybody except Thomas Massie.
Elon Musk
Well, he's the guy who's right.
Jimmy Dore
That's right. You know you did wrong. You know it. That was June 3rd at 10:31am and when Elon Musk goes scorched earth, he's one of the few guys that can actually scorch the earth. I mean, I'm just saying watch. You watch when he's going to land a starship on your bedroom while you're sleeping.
Elon Musk
I like that. Everybody thought. Every dumb ass Democrat I know thought that Elon was secretly in charge.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, they didn't make. Yeah, they didn't make any of those cuts that Doge said. You know, Bill Clinton and Al Gore, they bragged that they cut 240,000 jobs from the federal government when they were president. That was their big. Do you remember that? And the era of big government is over. And they brag that they cut 240,000 jobs from the federal government. And so Elon Musk comes in, identifies all this waste, fraud and abuse and the Republicans in Congress won't even take a vote on cutting it. They're not cutting it.
Elon Musk
So they're just not waste at all. But they're stealing it on purpose. And there's not a mistake.
Jimmy Dore
That's right. It's not waste. It's.
Elon Musk
They're competent. They have very definite ideas of what they do with it. You just don't get to know.
Jimmy Dore
Right. It's corruption on purpose. And so then Donald Trump just takes that money that was being dispersed through usaid and, and he gives it to Marco Rubio and the State Department to give out. So that's what's happening. Or they give it to the Pentagon. So here's another tweet by Elon Musk. He said, he retweets him saying, I'm sorry, I just can't stand anymore. This is a disgusting abomination. And he says it will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to 2.5 trillion and burden American citizens with crushing, unsustainable debt. So what's going to. So you know how this affects regular people is that it will eventually create hyperinflation and crazy interest rates and nobody will able to afford a house. Your kids won't be able. Finally, they figured out a way. So, so Wall Street, Wall street mav tweets out our annual US budget deficit is going to be over 2 trillion per year going forward. We pay over 100 billion per month just in interest on the national debt. That's 1.2 trillion a year just in interest. That is about 25% of all government revenue going to pay interest. And Elon Musk tweets that out, and he says interest payments already consumed 25% of all government revenue. If the massive deficit spending continues, which it will, believe me, the deficit spending will continue until morale improves. That is a twist, that the old phrase, the beatings will continue until morale approves improves. That's what this is. If the massive deficit spending continues, there will only be money for interest payments and nothing else. No Social Security, no medical, no defense, no nothing.
Elon Musk
So we printed the money and could somehow not have to go through it.
Jimmy Dore
That way, if only.
Elon Musk
Nobody knows why we do that.
Jimmy Dore
Nobody can answer why we borrow money when we print it as ourselves. No one can answer that. Joe, the head of Joe Biden's Economic Council, couldn't answer it. Couldn't even really understand how our money system works. And he was the head of. Understood the question, and he couldn't even understand the question. So Elon Musk tweets, retweets this guy out. So he's talking about Geiger Capital, talks about. Just to try to give you a perspective of how much money a billion and a trillion is. So he says a million seconds ago was May 23rd, not that long ago, right? A million seconds. Well, how long was a billion seconds ago? A billion seconds ago was 1993. Wow. It's kind of like that joke. I say, when what's the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars? About a billion dollars. And so what's the difference between a billion and a trillion? Well, a trillion seconds ago was 30,000 BC. So that gives you the idea what a difference between a million, a billion and a trillion is. So we're now. The US national debt is now growing by $1 trillion every six months. Every six months it grows by $1 trillion, which if those were seconds, it would be 30,000 BC just to let you know. So he retweets that, and he says the immense level of overspending will drive America into debt slavery. Do you want to say so you want. Here, Can I show you? This is the, this is the, the head of the Fed. What's his name, anyway?
Elon Musk
Jerome Powell.
Jimmy Dore
This is Powell. Watch what he says.
Zoe Saldana
The US Is on an unsustainable fiscal path. The US Federal government's on an unsustainable fiscal path. And that just means that the debt is growing faster than the Economy.
J.D. Vance
I have the sense this worries you.
Jimmy Dore
Very much over the long run.
Zoe Saldana
Of course it does. You know, we're effectively, we're borrowing from future generations.
Jimmy Dore
It's time for us to get back.
Zoe Saldana
To putting a priority on fiscal sustainability. And sooner is better than later.
Jimmy Dore
And the thing that's a big boner here is that Trump decided to. And the GOP decided to go ahead and cut healthcare, cut medical benefits, Medicaid to working people and poor people, and cut food stamps, you know, by hundreds of billions of dollars. Not touching the Pentagon. The thing that everybody wants cut. And they're still not reducing the deficit. They're still exploding the deficit by an extra $2 trillion, and it's probably an extra $5 trillion, probably more than that. So they're not. So they went and screwed you. So they. They gave you all the pain and you get none of the benefits.
Elon Musk
Yeah, well, Jimmy, Bernie Madoff couldn't ever stop his scam. He literally. If you want to put a stop to it, he never could.
Jimmy Dore
Right.
Elon Musk
You know, so they're going to have the whole, hey, this is going to drive American debt slavery. That must be our ultimate goal, because Jerome Powell, the guy from the Fed, was telling them this. So how. What is it they don't know? It's just for me to worry about. Not the people.
Jimmy Dore
Right.
Elon Musk
People there. They want it to happen. There's no other explanation, because this is a thing I've heard about my whole life.
Jimmy Dore
So he also tweets this out. So not. Jerome Powell tweeted out. This is not Apple or Tesla or even Nvidia. This is the US national debt. And look how it just goes. And we're past. We're up to 36 trillion on our way to 37 trillion. And look how it just ballooned since 2000. Just bam. And Pentagon can't pass an audit. And the Pentagon will not pass an audit. So basically, people are going to be setting their own Teslas on fire just to stay warm this winter.
Elon Musk
Yeah. See how the timeline coincides with Katherine Austin Fitch explaining how we had trillions of dollars stolen?
Jimmy Dore
Yes.
Elon Musk
Since this roughly. She said 97, but it's roughly. You look at the spikes.
Jimmy Dore
So here's another tweet from Elon Musk. The rabbit hole said it took over 200 years for the United States debt to reach 12 trillion. 12 trillion is now how much we added in four years between 2020 and 2024. So we are adding as much debt in four years as it took us to add in 200 years. And Elon Reese tweets that and says America is in the fast lane to debt slavery. And again, here's one of these nice charts. So there's what, the start of the United States and then boom. So that's what we're living through right now.
Elon Musk
Yeah, well, you know what they're doing.
Jimmy Dore
Because your government is completely captured by corporations and billionaires, and you don't live in a democracy. This is not what a democracy looks like. This is what oligarchs who are pillaging the treasury, they're hollowing out the country. That's what they do. That's what mafias do. We live in a mafia state. Just like in Goodfellas when they took over that restaurant, they put the. The booze and the food in the front door, they take it out the back door, resell it, put that money in their pocket, and then when the restaurant went belly up, they just burned it down for the insurance. And that's exactly what they're doing to our country. They're not investing in our country. They're not investing in you. They're sucking the money out. They're taking it from your healthcare, they're taking it from your education, they're taking it from your food stamps, they're taking it from your road construction, your school, every. They're taking it from everything they shouldn't be. And they're putting it in the hands of a handful of millionaires and billionaires who actually run the country and run the whole entire western world. People like Klaus Schwab, people like the international banker who now is Carney, who's running the Canada, that's who. Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos. Those are the people who actually run things. Right? Marc Andreessen. Those are the people who run things. Not.
Elon Musk
Don't forget what. Because they build all those bunkers. All those people.
Jimmy Dore
And they're building. So Kurt is. What Kurt's talking about is they're building underground bunkers. They're spending trillions of dollars building underground bunkers. And What? Go ahead, say it.
Elon Musk
All those billionaire, like all the tech people have built on. What's his name, the one from Facebook, the real odd boy.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. Mark Zuckerberg.
Elon Musk
Yeah. And. And there. It's not a secret why they say it out loud at their tech. You watch these tech speeches. They're insane. Yeah, but it's because when, see, they're just going to run out the clock till AGI comes out. You know, artificial general intelligence, the thing is going to come out any minute now because that's going to eliminate the White collar jobs. And the guy literally said, at this convention, there's going to be a lot of civil unrest when that happens.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Elon Musk
And that's why we have bunkers. So they're running the debt up. As soon as AGI comes out, all the laptop liberal dipshits out there, your jobs are gone. That's when. If you call the Soviet Union, they united people that worked at all levels because they were mad. They've anticipated this. So you're going to be in the fire and they're going to have bunkers until it clears up. And then they don't need you anymore when you're dead because they got AGI.
Jimmy Dore
And so here's Elon Musk's final tweet that I got right before I came on air. Kill Bill. He tweeted that out, which means kill the bill. This budget bill.
Elon Musk
Oh, I thought it was Bill Gates. I was like, that's a little bit.
Jimmy Dore
Too much if it's so. And of course, the way people have reacted to this is. Is sadly predictable. So this person, Shoe, shui travel, or whoever this person is, why are you stirring posts like this? Which side. Why are you stirring pots like this? Which side are you on?
J.D. Vance
Israeli.
Elon Musk
Is that an Israeli?
Jimmy Dore
We are confused who to follow. You're. That's not a that. So you see that? That's this. Oh, it's all about team sports. Which side are you on? How about. Elon Musk should be on the side of the American people, just like Thomas Massie is on the side of the American people. That's the side you're supposed to be on. Not Democrat, not Republican, not which billionaires control the Democrats, not which billionaires control the Republicans. You're supposed to be on the side of the American people and trying to get a hold on our fiscal sovereignty, which we are lose. It's gone. So this isn't going to end. And. But so. Meaning the money printing and the spending and the borrowing and the debt. And so what does that lead to? That leads to hyperinflation and high interest rates. So people who have money saved, it's worthless and people won't be able to buy houses. So that's what this is leading to. And it's coming faster than you think. I think. And that's why people like when Steve Bannon came on the show, he was talking about, we have to do this to save our civilization, we have to do this to save our country. And people are willing to take hurt. I think people would take the hurt of cutting Medicaid or cutting food stamps. I think people would even be willing to cut other things if you were actually cutting the debt and deficit and it was going down instead of exploding. And if you were sharing the pain of that. If it wasn't just for people who relied on Medicaid and food stamps and Medicare and Social Security, if it wasn't just for those people who had to take the brunt of it, but it also got spread out to the billionaire class. Well, Trump's doing the exact opposite. He's making the tax cuts for those billionaires permanent. So the exact opposite of what everyone who voted for Trump thought they were voting for is happening. And you get people like this, who. This is what's wrong with the country. Whoever this person is. This shua travel.
Elon Musk
Get back in your pen. Yeah, See, as soon as someone's doing that, that's some manipulator class. That's immediately suspect because I just looked up this person's Twitter right now, and they're talking about how we're spending too much and the deficit and blah, blah, bl. Yeah. So that's like, not a good actor, whoever the hell that is.
J.D. Vance
Right.
Jimmy Dore
So pick a team. Our friend Blakely asked Grok to explain why this one big, beautiful bill is going to explode the debt and how it's going to hurt working people. Well, you know what? I'm going to save that for another segment. So there is Elon Musk crushing it. I mean, crushing the GOP and Donald Trump's big, beautiful bill. And again, I'm no fan of Elon Musk's. I don't have irrational hatred for him either, but I haven't picked a billionaire myself. Yeah.
Elon Musk
That I like or hate. I don't give a rat's ass. All we learned from this is, no, Elon was not in charge. Idiots. And guess who else isn't in charge? Trump, apparently.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, Trump is not. Yeah. So Trump is not actually in charge. And Elon Musk was never in charge, because that's why he's doing this. Because if he was in charge, he would have implemented some of the cuts from Doge. He couldn't. And guess what? They're not implemented. None of that money that he found is being cut from the budget. Did you know that? So they first said they were going to cut 2 trillion, and then it came down all the way down to like, 160 billion. And people are like, well, we'll take what we can get. And they're not even cutting that.
Elon Musk
You can get. You'll get nothing. Like It.
Jimmy Dore
That's what you'll get. So. So, yeah, and you'll get nothing like it. So you'll get nothing and like it. You'll get no cuts and you'll like it. And Elon Musk's, you know, trashed his reputation with half the country by doing this. And he got nothing out of it. It didn't. It didn't do anything. It didn't work. Except his. His reputation certainly got trashed with half the country.
Elon Musk
And his Tesla didn't like him already. And his Tesla didn't like him already.
Jimmy Dore
But his Tesla stock, well, his Tesla stock, it crashed. It wasn't crashing.
Elon Musk
Democrats used to buy him.
Jimmy Dore
It wasn't crash. It wasn't crashing before his. He teamed up with Maga. It only crashed after he teamed up with Maga. And so it was all for nothing. It was all for nothing. So Donald Trump is. And the Republicans are. Turns out they're going to cut taxes for the billionaires and screw everybody else who saw that coming.
Elon Musk
Peter Thiel when he made J.D. vance in a lab.
Jimmy Dore
Yes, that's right.
Elon Musk
Made him fat in a lab. I didn't say crater.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Elon Musk
Then. Yeah, the Teal. And that other scumbag from Palantir, all those tech people. That's who runs. That's. That's who's running stuff.

Title: Trump Implementing MASS SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM In U.S.! w/ Derrick Broze
Host: Jimmy Dore
Guest: Derrick Broze
Release Date: June 6, 2025
Overview
In this episode of The Jimmy Dore Show, host Jimmy Dore delves into the alarming developments surrounding the expansion of mass surveillance in the United States under the Trump administration. Joined by Derrick Broze, author and activist, the discussion centers on the role of Palantir and other tech giants in facilitating a technocratic state. The conversation highlights concerns over civil liberties, data privacy, and the consolidation of power within corporate and intelligence circles.
Section 1: The Rise of Palantir and Government Surveillance
Timestamp: 07:22 - 13:13
Jimmy Dore introduces Derrick Broze to discuss the intensifying collaboration between the Trump administration and Palantir, a data analytics firm with deep ties to intelligence agencies. Dore emphasizes Palantir's historical connections, describing it as "a complete CIA cutout" responsible for creating extensive surveillance databases.
Notable Quote:
Jimmy Dore [07:22]: "Palantir is the same company which can target any Palestinian in Gaza and make kill targets out of them at will... it's just a matter of time before we do it to ourselves at home."
Section 2: Palantir's Expansion into Federal Agencies
Timestamp: 13:13 - 21:25
Broze elaborates on Palantir's growth within federal operations, noting substantial government investments and the company's expanding reach into various sectors, including the IRS and Social Security Administration. He raises alarms about the centralization of personal data, likening Palantir to historical surveillance entities like the Stasi and KGB, but elevated by modern technology.
Notable Quote:
Derrick Broze [16:26]: "Peter Thiel and Alex Karp are steering committee members of the Bilderberg Group... They have a long relationship with various intelligence agencies and now the Trump administration."
Section 3: The Technocratic Threat and the Golden Dome
Timestamp: 21:25 - 30:15
The discussion shifts to the concept of a technocratic state, with references to the "Golden Dome" project, a massive surveillance infrastructure resembling the fictional Skynet from Terminator. Broze connects this initiative to Elon Musk's Starlink and highlights concerns over AI-driven monitoring and control mechanisms.
Notable Quote:
Derrick Broze [28:23]: "It's a $1.8 billion contract with the Geospatial Agency... once they finish the Star Shield program, all the bad guys won't be able to hide."
Section 4: The Moral and Ethical Implications
Timestamp: 30:15 - 43:38
Broze and Dore discuss the ethical ramifications of pervasive surveillance, including the potential for a social credit system that could monitor and penalize citizen behavior. They critique the notion that such systems are solely for national security, arguing instead that they pave the way for authoritarian control akin to that of China.
Notable Quote:
Jimmy Dore [35:07]: "Palantir is literally the deepest part of the deep state. Trump is rolling out the red carpet for them to usher in what will certainly be the beast system."
Section 5: Solutions and Pathways to Resistance
Timestamp: 43:38 - 62:09
The conversation shifts towards actionable solutions, with Broze advocating for "opt-out" strategies and the creation of parallel systems that operate independently of the centralized surveillance state. He emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility, community building, and technological alternatives to resist and undermine the encroaching technocracy.
Notable Quote:
Derrick Broze [38:45]: "Focus our energy on building parallel, alternative systems outside of what they're building... 'exit and build' is about exiting from systems that don't align with our values and building what does."
Section 6: Financial Policies and National Debt Crisis
Timestamp: 62:09 - 61:55
While not directly related to mass surveillance, the episode touches on the burgeoning national debt and fiscal irresponsibility within the U.S. government. Elon Musk's tweets and comments are referenced to highlight the unsustainable financial trajectory, drawing parallels between fiscal policies and broader systemic control.
Notable Quote:
Elon Musk [43:38]: "The immense level of overspending will drive America into debt slavery."
Conclusion
Jimmy Dore and Derrick Broze conclude the episode by reinforcing the critical need for awareness and proactive measures against the consolidation of surveillance and authoritarian control. They urge listeners to remain vigilant, engage in community activism, and support initiatives that promote privacy and freedom.
Notable Quote:
Jimmy Dore [61:58]: "Don't freak out. Do not freak out."
