In this eye-opening episode of The Courtenay Turner Podcast, Courtenay Turner is joined by Greg Boulden—an investigative journalist, philosopher, educator, artist, and polymath who serves as the host and managing editor of America Emboldened. Together, they unpack Greg’s explosive investigation into a conservative Political Action Committee (PAC) that has been covertly funding social media influencers to shape public opinion and sway political discourse.

The conversation takes listeners deep into the mechanics of influence operations, exposing the hidden financial trails behind these campaigns and the incentives driving influencers to promote partisan agendas. Greg sheds light on how these secret payouts bypass traditional advertising regulations and exploit social media platforms to manipulate audiences without transparency.

Beyond the surface-level political implications, Courtenay and Greg explore the broader geopolitical consequences of these operations, including their impact on democratic accountability and the erosion of public trust. They discuss how dark money networks operate behind the scenes to fund ideological movements and influence elections, often blurring the lines between corporate interests, religious ideology, and political strategy.

The discussion also ventures into philosophical and spiritual territory, examining the ethical dilemmas posed by these covert operations. Greg reflects on the ontological questions surrounding truth, manipulation, and free will in an age dominated by disinformation campaigns and psychological tactics. The pair also consider the role of artificial intelligence in amplifying these efforts, warning of its potential to centralize control over public narratives and further distort reality.
