Most people think the biggest battle today is left vs. right. But what if that’s just the distraction? In this episode of The Rice Report, Eric Rice sits down with Hesher from Alternate Current Radio to unpack a deeper conversation—about AI, technocracy, propaganda, and the global power structure quietly taking shape behind the scenes. What starts as a conversation about media narratives quickly turns into something bigger: how artificial intelligence, surveillance systems, and massive government spending are laying the foundation for a new kind of control system. If you’ve been wondering where all of this is heading… this conversation connects a lot of dots. Inside this episode: How AI infrastructure and surveillance tech are expanding globally Why companies like Palantir and big tech firms are central to the new system The role of propaganda, media narratives, and psychological operations Why the real battle may be technocracy vs human freedom What AI automation could mean for jobs, purpose, and society The big question isn’t just what technology can do. It’s who controls it—and what kind of world they’re building with it. This is a wide-ranging conversation about power, influence, and the future that may already be unfolding around us. If you care about where the world is headed, this is one you’ll want to hear. 👇 Comment below: Do you think AI will empower people—or centralize power even more? 🔔 Subscribe for more conversations on power, money, technology, and the future of society. #AI #Technocracy #SurveillanceState #Palantir #FutureOfAI Timestamps (Chapters) 00:00 – The $1.2 Trillion AI Infrastructure Buildout Why massive government spending on AI is raising serious questions. 03:30 – Living in a Psychological Operation How media narratives shape public perception and political division. 08:45 – Propaganda, History, and Information Warfare Why it’s getting harder to tell truth from narrative. 15:20 – Epstein Files and Institutional Corruption Why some revelations change the narrative—and others don’t. 23:50 – The Rise of Technocracy How AI, data, and centralized systems are shifting power. 32:10 – AI, Automation, and Human Purpose What happens when machines replace more human roles. 41:30 – Big Tech, Palantir, and the Surveillance Infrastructure How private tech companies became pillars of state power. 50:15 – AI, Deepfakes, and Reality Itself Why the information battlefield is changing fast. 58:40 – The Future: Technocracy or Human Freedom?

Something bigger than you think is happening in the Middle East… and most people have no idea how serious it could get. In this episode of The Rice Report, Eric Rice sits down with former CIA analyst Larry Johnson to break down what’s really happening in the escalating conflict involving Iran—and why the global consequences could be far bigger than anyone is admitting. If the Strait of Hormuz shutdown continues, it could trigger a chain reaction across the global economy… affecting oil, fertilizer, food supply, and inflation worldwide. This conversation dives deep into the geopolitical realities behind the headlines and why the next few weeks could reshape global markets and U.S. foreign policy. In This Episode We Discuss: • Why the Strait of Hormuz disruption could trigger a global recession • The hidden economic impact of oil, LNG, and fertilizer supply shocks • What the mainstream media may be missing about the Iran conflict • Why the U.S. military strategy is raising serious questions • How rising oil prices could hit American families and businesses • The geopolitical consequences for China, Russia, and global markets This isn’t about politics—it’s about understanding the real-world risks of global conflict and how they could impact everyday people. If you want deeper conversations about geopolitics, economics, and the stories behind the headlines, you’re in the right place. 👇 Comment below: What’s the biggest risk you see if this conflict continues? 🔔 Subscribe to The Rice Report for more conversations that challenge the mainstream narrative and explore what’s really happening in the world.

Something strange happened in Mexico… and the story you’re hearing isn’t the full picture. Today, we talk with Hrvoje Moric, cuttently residing in Mexico. Hundreds of narco blockades. Burned buses. Excavated highways. Airports shut down. Yet by Tuesday? Life looked “normal” again. So what really happened? In this episode, we break down what it was like to actually drive through cartel blockades on Sunday morning — and why the official narrative doesn’t quite add up. If you're trying to understand Mexico cartel violence, U.S.–Mexico relations, psychological operations, or how chaos gets used to justify bigger political moves… this one matters. Inside this episode: What 300 narco blockades in one day actually looked like Why airports were shut down (and what was fake news) The reported joint U.S.–Mexican operation targeting cartel leadership How “strategy of tension” tactics work Why some believe this could reshape Mexico’s political future What this means for World Cup 2026 and foreign investment This isn’t fear. It’s pattern recognition. When chaos shows up this coordinated, it raises bigger questions about power, policy, and what comes next for North America. If you care about geopolitics, cartel violence in Mexico, digital surveillance expansion, or the future of U.S.–Mexico relations… watch closely. 👇 Comment below: Do you think this was just cartel retaliation — or something larger at play?

Something big just happened… and almost nobody’s talking about it. After trillions spent on climate initiatives, fossil fuels still power about 80% of the world — the same as decades ago . Meanwhile, at Davos, the tone has shifted. Climate urgency is fading. AI and centralized control are taking center stage. In this conversation with Marc Morano, we break down: Why the global climate agenda may be losing momentum What really happened at the World Economic Forum in Davos How “emergency powers” reshaped democracy during COVID Why AI infrastructure is replacing climate as the next power grab The connection between global elites, energy policy, and control If you’re an investor, entrepreneur, or just someone trying to understand where the world is headed… this matters. Because when narratives shift at the top, money and power move with them. Marc explains how political leaders, international institutions, and corporate interests are repositioning — and what that could mean for energy markets, AI development, and personal freedom. The question isn’t left vs. right. It’s who benefits — and who pays the price. 👇 Comment below: Do you think the climate movement is collapsing… or just evolving into something bigger? 🔔 Subscribe for more deep dives into money, power, and global strategy.

Palantir is Epstein on steroids." That's how author and researcher Jay Dyer opened this conversation — and it only gets deeper from there. In this episode of The Rice Report, Eric Rice sits down with Jay Dyer to trace the unbroken line from Fabian Socialists and H.G. Wells to DARPA, the Trilateral Commission, and today's AI surveillance infrastructure. What they cover: → Why Palantir is the logical endpoint of the Epstein network → The Brzezinski blueprint from 1971 — and how it's being executed right now → Organized crime structures as a model for understanding global elite networks → The transhumanism agenda hiding inside the trans movement debate → AI, CBDCs, biometrics, and digital ID — the rollout timeline → Why Bitcoin's origin story doesn't disqualify it (the genetic fallacy explained) → Orthodox Christianity, rural sovereignty, and how to build resilience in a technocratic world This isn't speculation.

Hrvoje Moric joins the Rice Report for a sobering conversation about the global technocratic takeover unfolding in real time. We’ve been ringing the hell on this for some time. Lets explore… From biometric surveillance to AI governance, digital IDs to algorithm ghettos - the 1940s Technocrat maps are being implemented worldwide. Hrvoje shares firsthand experience from Mexico, where facial recognition, fingerprint scanners, and digital permission systems are being rolled out in gated communities, only to have all data hacked within weeks. This isn't theory - it's happening now. The EU serves as the blueprint being replicated globally through the African Union, ASEAN, Mercosur, and the forming North American Union. Society is being controlled through comfort (apps, cashless payments, Uber Eats) rather than fear. The Epstein files serve as demoralization, preparing acceptance of AI governance. Christian nationalism is being weaponized as controlled opposition with zero preaching of repentance. From the Vatican's AI morality boards to alien disclosure agendas, from Gnostic infiltration of alt media to the coming one world religion - this conversation examines global technocracy through a biblical lens. "My white pill is Jesus" - because earthly systems offer no hope, only the assurance of eternity provides peace in the algorithm ghetto being constructed around us. Lets go! We are covering: - Technocrat movement (1930s-1940s) maps now being implemented - Mexico: Biometric entry systems hacked immediately after rollout - 15-minute cities = Resilient cities = Smart cities (Rockefeller funded) - Epstein files as demoralization campaign, not justice - Vatican meeting with AI developers to create "moral authority" - Christian nationalism psyop: Entertainment Christianity with no repentance - Gnosticism/New Age infiltrating alt media ("Old Testament God is Satan") - Alien disclosure agenda to justify world government - Comfort-based control: Apps, cashless society, digital convenience = slavery - Biblical prophecy: 10 kingdoms, Laodicean church, great delusion 0:00 – Welcome to The Rice Report 2:15 – Are We Heading Toward a Global Technocracy? 5:40 – The EU as the Blueprint for World Government 9:30 – Biblical Prophecy & Modern Global Politics 13:45 – What Is a “Technate”?

The 2026 Epstein file dump reveals 3.5M pages of evidence, but the most powerful names remain hidden. Nick Bryant exposes why the system is still protecting them. In this exclusive deep dive, investigative journalist Nick Bryant joins me to dismantle the "Epstein Dark" reality—a systemic protection racket reaching the top of global politics and intelligence. Despite the massive document release, we ask the hard question: Why are the associates and co-conspirators still walking free? The lack of accountability is not an accident; it is the result of decades of systemic design: The 2008 Secret Plea Deal: A non-prosecution agreement (NPA) that granted Epstein a lenient sentence while effectively shielding his co-conspirators from federal prosecution for nearly twenty years. Fragmented Investigation "Silos": Critical evidence was historically blocked between local police, the FBI, and federal prosecutors, creating gaps that allowed high-level perpetrators to slip through the cracks. Risk-Averse Prosecutions: Former federal officials confirm that agencies often hesitate to target defendants with unlimited resources and political ties unless forced by extreme public outcry. We analyze why "transparency" in 2026 feels like a controlled narrative: Selective Disclosure: While 3.5M pages are public, evidence suggests the DOJ is still withholding nearly 3 million additional pages of investigative records. "Protective" Redactions: Survivors have slammed the DOJ for "ham-fisted" editing—accidentally exposing victim names while meticulously blacking out the names of elite men in politics and finance. Nick Bryant argues that the current system is too compromised to investigate itself. Because the network reportedly reached the "top of the food chain" in global intelligence, only an Independent Congressional Commission can provide the transparency required for true justice. Nick Bryant is an acclaimed American investigative journalist and author who has spent over 14 years dedicated to exposing the co-conspirators in Jeffrey Epstein’s international sex-trafficking operation. He became a pivotal figure in the case in 2015 when he obtained and shared Epstein's notorious "Little Black Book" and flight logs—four years before Epstein's death in federal custody. Bryant is the author of The Franklin Scandal, a definitive account of a high-level child-trafficking ring in Omaha, Nebraska, that reached the upper echelons of Washington, D.C.. He is the founder of the nonprofit Epstein Justice, an organization dedicated to protecting children from exploitation and advocating for the full, unredacted release of all government evidence related to the Epstein network.
