This video examines how neoconservative power did not disappear after the Cold War or the War on Terror, but instead rebranded itself through technology, privatization, and the language of innovation. Using Peter Thiel as a central case study, the discussion traces how Palantir emerged directly from the wreckage of the Pentagon’s post-9/11 Total Information Awareness program—an openly unconstitutional mass-surveillance initiative designed to predict crimes before they occur. Though Congress publicly defunded TIA after widespread backlash, its core architecture survived through privatization, with intelligence veterans, DARPA officials, and longtime neoconservative operatives quietly guiding Palantir’s creation and early development for the CIA.
The conversation goes further, showing how “pre-crime” logic has expanded beyond intelligence agencies into emergency services, policing, and domestic governance through companies like Carbyne, whose board once included Jeffrey Epstein–linked figures and intelligence veterans from the U.S. and Israel. The deeper argument is not simply about surveillance, but about power: how predictive algorithms replace due process, how compromised elites are elevated rather than punished, and how blackmail—once run through human networks—has increasingly been automated through data collection. In this framework, Epstein is not an anomaly but a symptom, rendered obsolete by a system that no longer needs personal coercion when digital lives can be harvested, analyzed, or fabricated at scale.

A continuation of what Pius XI lamented in Quadragesimo Anno (https://www.vatican.va/content/pius-xi/en/encyclicals/docuмents/hf_p-xi_enc_19310515_quadragesimo-anno.html):
105. In the first place, it is obvious that not only is wealth concentrated in our times but an immense power and despotic economic dictatorship is consolidated in the hands of a few, who often are not owners but only the trustees and managing directors of invested funds which they administer according to their own arbitrary will and pleasure.
106. This dictatorship is being most forcibly exercised by those who, since they hold the money and completely control it, control credit also and rule the lending of money. Hence they regulate the flow, so to speak, of the life-blood whereby the entire economic system lives, and have so firmly in their grasp the soul, as it were, of economic life that no one can breathe against their will.
107. This concentration of power and might, the characteristic mark, as it were, of contemporary economic life, is the fruit that the unlimited freedom of struggle among competitors has of its own nature produced, and which lets only the strongest survive; and this is often the same as saying, those who fight the most violently, those who give least heed to their conscience.
