These videos get tons of views, are churned out constantly and I have absolutely NOTHING to do with them. Last year, when I declined to back a candidate in the 2024 election, I was labeled a "doomer" for subscribing to the view that Trump would not magically fix all of our problems and for pointing out that the PayPal mafia technocrats behind him are war and mass surveillance profiteers who are not "libertarians," as they often claim to be. Beginning around the same time, these videos started to appear en masse with clickbait thumbnails (which I detest) that put in quote marks things I have NEVER said, many of which are extreme doom and gloom or doomsday predictions of specific things happening at specific times. The end result of these videos, which are now the top results when you search my name on YouTube, is to falsely create the impression I am spreading "doom" to neatly fit with the "doomer" and "blackpiller" label I was given after criticizing Peter Thiel, JD Vance and actions of the previous Trump administration. They also discredit me by directly linking me to unsubstantiated predictions I have never made, and these channels are making money off of this. Another result is that it makes it very hard for people to find the actual interviews I give. Since this began, a lot of my reporting on Thiel, Palantir (the company he co-founded), Palantir-Epstein overlap and several other things have been extremely vindicated over the last 9 months. However, it seems that my credibility is being attacked by a coordinated effort that includes these channels as well as a few journalists/pundits/influencers who are known to have taken money from Thiel-funded entities. I would urge you to read my work for yourself and determine my credibility based off of my actual work, not on AI slop that is using my credibility without my consent to manipulate YOU and then monetize that manipulation. Any suggestions about how to stop these videos are welcome. My efforts to report them and have YouTube remove them have been unsuccessful thus far.

First they offer the carrot. Then comes the stick.

episode 2 is up now for members! thanks for all the lovely feedback. looking forward to launching sincerely very shortly !

We have been busy re-launching the Unlimited Hangout podcast, both to make our work more accessible to a wider audience (esp at a time when I'm not really doing outside interviews) and to help combat all the AI slop and impersonation of me on YouTube. We have soft launched the show to Unlimited Hangout members with 2 pilots/demos and are soliciting feedback before we formally launch the new show later this month. It is just myself and @markgoodw_in doing the content, recording and production so it's been a bit of a learning journey, but we were not interested in doing a heavily produced podcast and in keeping our content, as always, 100% funded by subscribers with zero sponsors or ad-reads. If you'd like to contribute to this process, and also get early access to the show after it formally launches and other UH membership perks, please subscribe to Unlimited Hangout here: unlimitedhangout.com/join As an aside, once the show formally launches, it will be publicly available on a variety of platforms and, also, directly from our site once the early access period is over.

The idea that this guy is being treated as an authority on Christianity is just absurd. He is re-framing what it means to be Christian for his own ends, and it should be obvious. This guy worked directly with the CIA and an Iran-Contra criminal to privatize the most Orwellian Bush-era surveillance proposal, creating Palantir in the process, wants to tear down representative government and replace it with a private company run by a CEO/dictator, promotes borgifying humanity and frames it as necessary, and funds and helped create numerous companies that help commit genocide and blow children to smithereens. He embodies the opposite of what are ostensibly Christian values. Let him redefine what it means to be "Christian" at your own risk. Also, no one would even consider calling this guy "Christian," let alone an authority on it, a few decades ago. But now the PayPal mafia bros largely control the digital realms that now dominate public discourse and have successful bought up a legion of podcasters/influencers, so they can make a large segment of the public believe whatever they want I guess. In today's world, Emperor Palpatine could also probably successfully frame himself as a well-meaning authority on who and who isn't a baddie.

NEW from @_InThisTogether In Part 2 of his series on the “Praxians”—the Silicon Valley-rooted wing of the global oligarchy—Iain Davis focuses on how they employ State Crimes Against Democracy (SCADs) and show how they benefit from practically every SCAD they manufacture. As we pick apart propaganda narratives, we’ll come to terms with the hybrid war we’re all now fighting, whether we know it or not. unlimitedhangout.com/2026/05…

NEW from @maxyyjones and @journalist4sale When it was reported that Wegmans grocery stores were utilizing facial recognition technology (FRT) to collect data on their customers, the company declined to disclose the software-end of its surveillance machine. Their reticence may be related to the FRT industry’s deep ties to the national security state — leaving consumers’ data just a knock away from American intelligence agencies.

My latest book "The Technocratic Dark State", is now available in digital form. thetechnocraticdarkstate.com…

Palantir, a CIA front company, now has its tentacles in the food supply, our healthcare data, our growing autonomous weapons industry, the military, the entire US intelligence community, border patrol, Space Force and so on. Seemingly, Palantir is soon to become the testrun for Yarvins "sov-corp", a privatized version of govt that replaces the existing govt and is ruled by a CEO dictator. That is, unless we do something about it. cnbc.com/2026/04/22/palantir…

If you think this Peter Thiel-backed "AI tribunal of truth" is going to be objective regarding inconvenient narratives about Thiel and his pals and the entities they contract for (e.g. the CIA, the IDF, etc.), you might be an idiot. The truth about Thiel and his network could honestly not be more unflattering and the only reason they have not been widely condemned for being the psychopaths they are is because of extensive (and expensive) narrative management and clever deception. This AI "tribunal" is merely a new toy for that arsenal.

Thanks to @RusereShoniwa for a fantastic, often funny, critical commentary-slash-review of my latest book, "The Technocratic Dark State". (link to book in first comment) api.omarshehata.me/substack-…

AI is offering people reviews and summaries of my latest book The Technocratic Dark State without ever reading it. Ask it to provide precise summaries or relevant quotes and it can't because the book is only available in print but that hasn't stopped it offering "reviews."

Unlimited Hangout did a massive investigation on Zampolli last August. As this story develops, you may want to check it out: unlimitedhangout.com/2025/08…

I would like to add to this, as the generated summaries are often not even accurate. One that was auto-generated when searching for one of my articles on the Epstein-Gates relationship, which I wrote in 2021, was recently sent to me by a subscriber. In that article, I argued that Gates and Epstein knew each other before 2011 (as officially claimed at the time), and the AI summary claimed that I only offered 3 pieces of evidence to support my thesis. It completely ignored more than half of the evidence provided in the article. For example, it did not acknowledge how the report detailed Epstein's intimate ties to top Microsoft execs before 2011 (Myhrvold, Stone, Sinofsky), how Epstein was part of a Microsoft Russia trip w Myhrvold in the 1990s, Gates' close involvement w Isabel Maxwell before the year 2001, a 2001 UK news article saying Epstein had made a lot of money due to his relationship with Gates, Epstein's ties to Microsoft employees via his patronage of the EDGE foundation and its billionaire dinners before 2011, and Epstein and Gates sharing Melanie Walker as a science adviser. That's all evidence that the AI decided you didn't need to see or consider. It omitted all of the above to paint my article thesis as having no real meat on it, when it actually did. Why are so many people letting these oligarch-owned algorithms think for them? It's not making you smarter, quite the opposite.

can't go after leslie wexner but plenty of time to arrest a whistleblower source for @sethharpesq 's book.
