The Independent Media Alliance Announces AI Transparency Pledge

The first Trump administration tried to usher in pre-crime to stop shootings and terror "before it happens" by having AI give Americans risk scores for "neuropsychiatric warning signs" based on their social media activity. The first Trump admin's AG Bill Barr also created the legal rails for pre-crime at the DOJ and FBI. Now, the Trump administration is doing it all for real with Kash Patel, at a time when other admin officials have claimed that political opposition to their agenda is indicative of a "resurgence" of political "terrorism." Kash Patel has teamed up with Silicon Valley and AI to decide who gets put on the naughty list. Instead of an uproar over the complete destruction of our remaining civil liberties, there are crickets. A good segment of people who used to claim they were advocates for civil liberties, personal freedoms and personal sovereignty are now instead tied up in embarrassing personality cults, NGU derangement syndrome, and/or bleating that "open source" AI will save us all. The FBI's pre-crime AI could be "open source" and it would still work as intended and still be just as detrimental to our freedoms. Making a digital prison "open source" doesn't change how it functions, it just makes the walls a little more opaque, that is - if you can even read and understand the code, which most people can't. "Open source" is a buzzword that has become largely meaningless, like "natural" on American food labels. Stop acting like it will save the US from tyranny. There is a reason the EXACT people involved in making AI pre-crime in the US a reality have been recently tweeting about how "open source" AI will somehow prevent its misuse by bad actors. They are lulling you into a false sense of security as they pull the switch. The tyrants are in power, they are Neo-cons with a new coat of paint, it couldn't be clearer. They are now ANNOUNCING they are using AI to target domestic dissent, and whether it is open source or not, it will work as intended. I don't give a shit if you can get Grok or Claude or whatever the fuck to say "based" things, you are now training it to label you a thought crime "terrorist." All of the big AI companies contract with military and intelligence and hand over your conversations with their chatbots to law enforcement without a second thought. The FBI's AI for this purpose was most likely trained to define what is "terrorism" by Bnai Brith's ADL, just like actual FBI agents have been for decades. You know who has run and funded Bnai Brith (a literal secret society) for the last several decades? The same billionaires that gave you Jeffrey Epstein. My work for almost ten years has been warning about exactly this. A lot of my past "controversial" work on Epstein, intelligence and so on has since been heavily vindicated, please listen and get your head out of Silicon Valley's asshole before it's too late.

NEW from Iain Davis In Part 1, Iain Davis defined the Praxians, considered their openly stated control of the Trump administration, and examined their extensive partnerships with the Israeli defence technology sector. In Part 2, Davis considered global events through the lens of State Crimes Against Democracy (SCADs) and noted how civil-military fusion and hybrid war, combined with SCADs, are socially engineering a proposed new global “equilibrium.” Here in Part 3, he delves into how global forces have aligned behind the Praxian vision of a Network Empire in the march toward a UN 2.0 Multipolar World Order. https://unlimitedhangout.com/2026/07/investigative-series/the-praxian-genocidal-kill-chain-part-3/

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.

As an aside on Lewis, he is a notorious associate of George Soros, whose long-time Argentine business partners are Eduardo Elzstain and Marcel Mindlin. Mindlin and Lewis are now also business partners, where they control a significant part of the Argentine power grid. Elzstain controls a large segment of Argentine real estate as well as one of the main national banks it relies on, while also serving an outsized role at Endeavor Argentina. Elzstain also has long-standing ties to members of the US-based "Mega Group" via his past executive roles at the World Jewish Congress. Elzstain has since become exceedingly close to Milei and was previously a major backer of previous Argentine president Mauricio Macri. Returning to Endeavor Argentina, this Elzstain-linked entity is a satellite of the larger Endeavor, which is largely run by the Bronfmans (who incidentally know Elzstain via their close ties to WJC). Endeavor Argentina is responsible for producing the PayPal-linked Amazon equivalent of Latin America, MercadoLibre, and also has produced other companies tied the PayPal Mafia (which obviously intersects with Thiel). Notably, Endeavor itself is closely tied to Reid Hoffman. Also, Wences Casares, the "Peter Thiel" of Latin America, is also closely linked to Endeavor. One of Endeavor Argentina's more recently incubated companies is satellite surveillance company Satellogic, which became closely tied to Howard Lutnick and Steve Mnuchin. This kind of gives you an idea of how Milei-linked power networks in Argentina intersect with US-based power networks and how it overlaps somewhat with the circles around Thiel. There are more intricate connections, which are detailed in articles I wrote with Mark Goodwin about Endeavor/Endeavor Argentina and Satellogic. https://unlimitedhangout.com/2024/07/investigative-series/the-chain-of-custody-the-mafia-holding-the-elites-bitcoin/ https://unlimitedhangout.com/2024/04/investigative-reports/debt-from-above-the-carbon-credit-coup/

One under-discussed possibility regarding Thiel's apparent move to Argentina is that Argentina has - for many years - allowed certain wealthy, foreign billionaires to establish de facto parallel states in the country, where the federal government declines to intervene, even to protect its own citizens and laws. Roughly seven years ago, I traveled to Argentina and wrote about how UK billionaire Joe Lewis (who Trump recently pardoned after he was found guilty of insider trading) had established one such "parallel state" in Argentine Patagonia, and even controls a private airport that the Argentine state doesn't even pretend to monitor. (Article link is below) Did Milei allow Thiel the opportunity to experiment with one such "parallel state"? Given how Thiel and his associates are eager to create "network states" along similar lines, and Milei's own ideological leanings and personal ties to that crowd, it is an angle worth considering.

We are working on re-launching the Unlimited Hangout Podcast as a video show featuring Whitney Webb and Mark Goodwin. We have produced two pilots that are slightly different in terms of how the show was planned (detailed outline vs. minimal outline), how the show was shot, and how the show was edited. Pilots will be made available only to members for now, with the goal of soliciting feedback so we can formally launch the show with something our subscribers really enjoy. The first of the two pilots is currently available for members and focuses on the imminent launch of X Money. The second pilot episode will be available for members in a few days. If you would like to be part of that feedback process, and also gain early access to all future episodes after we formally launch the show, subscribe to Unlimited Hangout. The show will launch to the public in early-mid June. Subscribe at unlimitedhangout.com/join

NEW from Iain Davis In Part 1 of this 3-part series, Iain Davis dissected how the “Praxians”—the Silicon Valley-rooted wing of the global oligarchy—have seized control of the second Trump administration. Part 1 also considered how their technological partnership with the Israeli government has enabled them to deploy their “digital kill chain” in Gaza. Here, in Part 2 of what is now a three-part series, Iain focuses on how these Praxians employ State Crimes Against Democracy (SCADs) and show how they benefit from practically every SCAD move. As he picks apart propaganda narratives, it reveals the scope of the hybrid war we’re all now fighting, whether we know it or not. https://unlimitedhangout.com/2026/05/investigative-series/the-praxian-genocidal-kill-chain-part-2/

NEW from Max Jones and Diego Ramos 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. https://unlimitedhangout.com/2026/05/investigative-reports/the-military-retail-industrial-complex/

I recently learned that one of RFK Jr's sons had been working for Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale's 8VC and is now working on a new VC firm aimed at "emerging technologies" in healthcare. https://archive.is/Y1I5s Lonsdale's 8VC was also intimately involved in the company Resilience, a CIA linked company involved in the mass production of the mRNA for the Moderna Covid vaccine. If you still somehow think RFK Jr represents "resistance" to the technocratic agenda in any capacity, you have been had. https://unlimitedhangout.com/2022/08/reportaje-investigativo/rna-for-modernas-omicron-booster-manufactured-by-cia-linked-company/

Palantir, a CIA front company, now has its tentacles in the food supply, our healthcare data, our growing autonomous weapons industry, the military, the entire US intelligence community, border patrol, Space Force and so on. Seemingly, Palantir is soon to become the testrun for Yarvins "sov-corp", a privatized version of govt that replaces the existing govt and is ruled by a CEO dictator. That is, unless we do something about it. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/22/palantir-inks-300-million-deal-with-usda-to-safeguard-food-supply.html

NEW from Iain Davis In this two-part article series, Iain Davis examines how a class of Silicon Valley oligarchs have set about destabilising the planet in order to achieve their goal of a multipolar world of interconnected smart-city states; that is, a regionalised world that they and their oligarch partners will rule as neofeudal monarchs. In Part 1, Davis focuses on the deceit this oligarch network is using to drag us all to ruin and how it is controlling the Trump administration, whilst Part 2 will focus on their neocolonial ambitions in the Middle East. https://unlimitedhangout.com/2026/04/investigative-series/praxian-kill-chain-part-1/

I would really like to promote the above piece on my large-ish Twitter/X account, but unfortunately the company has decided to block me from logging despite repeated attempts to have it unblocked through support. It seems my username was DDOSed to prevent me from using it. If you are a X user, would you mind retweeting Mark's tweet to X support in an attempt to get my account restored? I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Whitney https://x.com/markgoodw_in/status/2036125465396596811

NEW — Technate, Ohio: How Leslie Wexner and Jeffrey Epstein Built The Silicon Heartland Ohio has become the new destination for Big Tech data centers and AI infrastructure. The state owes much of its rapid transformation into the so-called “Silicon Heartland” to the now vast array of public-private partnerships pioneered by the state’s richest man, Leslie Wexner, and his former money manager and fixer, Jeffrey Epstein. https://unlimitedhangout.com/2026/03/investigative-reports/technate-ohio-new-albany/
