Whitney Webb lays bare the evolving face of modern control—where state surveillance and private tech no longer compete, but collaborate. In this explosive interview, Webb connects the dots from Jeffrey Epstein’s blackmail operations to the post-9/11 rise of Palantir, exposing how the intelligence apparatus didn’t disappear—it privatized. Epstein’s model, she argues, has become obsolete—not because it failed, but because AI and mass data harvesting have replaced it. Sexual compromise is no longer required when everyone’s private life is already stored and searchable.
Webb explains how figures like Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Silicon Valley billionaires have helped entrench a new era of algorithmic dominance. The same intelligence agencies that seeded Google, Facebook, and Oracle now oversee a digital architecture where public-private partnerships ensure that constitutional rights, especially privacy, are bypassed by corporate intermediaries. What once would have sparked outrage—Total Information Awareness—is now normalized through consumer apps and seamless surveillance.
But the stakes are greater than privacy. Technocracy, the belief in rule by a scientific elite, is quietly becoming the de facto governance model. Webb warns that AI systems will not distribute power—they will centralize it in the hands of those who build and train the algorithms. The myth of a libertarian digital utopia masks the very real emergence of a technocratic caste, accountable to no one. If data is the new oil, we are not the consumers—we are the fuel.
