Ep. 71
The State Department recently published a report naming progressive politicians, journalists, and Amazon labor organizer Christian Smalls as agents of foreign subversion. At the exact same time, the FBI is spending over a quarter of a billion dollars on defense contracts to build a predictive AI surveillance machine that analyzes your associations and data without a warrant. The FBI previously used secret watchlists to target the civil rights movement, send a suicide letter to Martin Luther King, and assist local police in shooting Fred Hampton. Now, the government is automating that identical architecture at machine speed while intentionally dismantling its own internal oversight boards. Joshua details the federal contracts and the missing legal safeguards actively threatening modern political dissent.
