From the Bomb Shelter

The regime seems to be putting pieces in place for full authoritarian takeover:

* Steve Bannon’s recent comments on Trump third term

* KKKarolina Leavitt’s briefings on Obama & “Russia hoax,” Dems being “terrorists & criminals”

Spiderwebs are fascinating feats of engineering. Practically invisible yet incredibly strong, we can walk right into them and get stuck before we even realize they’re there. Luckily for us, we’re not tiny bugs with no way to make sense of the situation and escape. We can learn to recognize them, avoid them, and even tear them down so they can’t make meals of us any more.

In Part 2 of this episode, we continue our discussion of what’s happening behind the scenes as Peter Thiel weaves his spiderweb of technocratic government control through Palantir, the PayPal Mafia, and Christian nationalism modeled after a country whose influence over U.S. politics has flown under the radar much more successfully than Russia. (Nope, it’s not Germany…)

As Fortune writer Jessica Mathews recently wrote, ‘Thiel may not be the face of this administration—but it’s the network he has assembled over his career that’s staffing it.’ Most of us know another big spider is Elon Musk, but too few understand that they’re not weaving separate webs, but rather one giant one that reaches throughout the U.S. government. And they share a bond that goes deeper than technological innovation: The apartheid South Africa connection. Join us to understand how that shared history undergirds this slow-motion coup so we have the foundational knowledge we need to defeat it.

News on the Narcissist in Chief: 

* The Trump regime has enacted a federal takeover of DC and is attempting to steal the 2026 election through voter suppression, according to renowned elections attorney Marc Elias

* California governor Gavin Newsom is the latest Democrat to go scorched-Earth in response to the insanity

* Agent Krasnov had an intimate lunch planned for his bestie goals in Alaska, but Putin took more of a wham-bam-thank-you-fam approach

* Ole Yam Tits also announced his unilateral choices for Kennedy Center honorees last week after appointing himself the new Chair back in February

In Part 2 of the episode, we’ll discuss more of what’s happening behind the curtain as Peter Thiel continues to weave his spiderweb of technocratic government control through Palantir, the PayPal Mafia, and Christian nationalism modeled after a country whose influence over U.S. politics has flown under the radar much more successfully than Russia's. (No, it’s not Germany…)

In Part 2, we finally get to the Boss Level in our discussion of the increasingly technocratic impulses of Palantir Technologies: the ultimate evil CEO with a god complex, cofounder/Chairman Peter Thiel.

Palantir is the AI/tech company doing the most to help the Trump regime expand the surveillance state by mining Americans’ private data. But should we assume worst intentions? Maybe Thiel is just quirky and misunderstood…

Join us for a discussion of how the PayPal Mafia don got his start, why he’s seen as an enemy of the free press, and how his “techno-libertarian” politics are informed by his alleged Christianity: namely, his ironic concern that in an effort to avoid Armageddon, the masses will run into the arms of the Antichrist in the form of ‘a totalitarian one-world government,’ ‘Chinese communist AI […] the big eye of Sauron that will be watching you at all times and all places.’ (Don’t worry, y’all. He’s here to save us from that fate by…helping the U.S. government surveil us even better. Oh, and he doesn’t believe in democracy. But just TRUST HIM.)

We open our latest two-part episode with a song by Wisconsin band Secret Menu that tears the Trump regime and late-stage capitalism in general several new holes. The lyrics couldn’t be more fitting for this week’s news:

* US markets tank, the latest jobs numbers are staggeringly but predictably bad due to DOGE’s mass firings and failed economic policy, and Ole Yam Tits pulls his favorite move to avoid accountability: delay, deny, defend.

* It’s one step forward and two steps back as Congress seems to take a tepid stand against Trump and his DOJ’s efforts to keep the Epstein files out of the public view, which just fans the flames of the one big, burning question: Which rich and powerful people (besides himself) are they protecting?

* The masses demand relief for the people of Gaza as the rich and powerful continue to support Israel and its genocide.

* Here’s a vetted list of Palestinian family donation campaigns if you’re looking for a way to support Gazans <3

* Another evil, exploitative corporation’s CEO is assassinated: this time, the target is Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust (BREIT), which the UN publicly censured in 2019 for their worldwide trampling of human rights.

And of course, in Part 2 of this episode, we’ll finally get to our in-depth discussion of the ultimate evil CEO with a god complex, cofounder/Chairman of Palantir Technologies Peter Thiel.

Who is Alex Karp, the “good cop” cofounder of Palantir Technologies to Theil’s “bad cop”? He portrays himself as a progressive, an enemy of fascism, a victim caught in the crosshairs of a rogue administration. But do his words and actions align? (Hint: Concerned Palantir alumni don’t seem to think so, according to their recent open letter to “the tech workers of Silicon Valley.”)

As we watch the Empire’s veneer crumble in real-time, it’s becoming increasingly apparent who the real anti-fascists are *ahem Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Stephen Colbert, John Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel, Kendrick Lamar, Miss Rachel, Rep. Summer Lee, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, Rep. AOC, Rosie O’Donnell, Dropkick Murphys, Elmo* & who is just paying lip service while making dastardly deals in the back room.

Join us as we pull back the curtain on the recent expansion of Palantir’s work with the federal government, the company’s increasingly technocratic impulses, and poor, misunderstood CEO Alex Karp, who oversees the whole shebang.
