Journalist Whitney Webb discusses her book, 'One Nation Under Blackmail,' which investigates Jeffrey Epstein’s connections to intelligence agencies and organized crime.
Webb explains that former US Attorney Alex Acosta was reportedly told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and was 'above his pay grade.' The book argues that Epstein's activities were not limited to sex trafficking but also included financial crimes and arms trafficking, often in concert with powerful institutions.

Description:
In this explosive Independent Media Alliance (IMA) panel, we dive deep into the hottest debate in independent media right now: AI “Sloppy Copy” — the flood of low-effort, AI-generated content that’s threatening authenticity, creativity, and the very soul of alternative journalism.
James Corbett (The Corbett Report), Whitney Webb (Unlimited Hangout), Ryan Christian (The Last American Vagabond / TLAV), Kit Knightly (OffGuardian), and a stacked lineup of independent voices debate the real questions:Should independent creators use AI at all — even for research, thumbnails, or transcription?
Where do you draw the line between helpful tool and soul-crushing slop?
Is AI destroying human skills, homogenizing thought, and enabling mass surveillance & narrative control?
What about the massive data centers, power consumption, water usage, and the technocratic push for total information awareness?
Raw, unfiltered, and full of personal stories, heated exchanges, and hard-won wisdom from people who have been fighting for truth long before ChatGPT existed.This is not your average AI hype video — it’s a serious, solutions-oriented discussion on how we protect human creativity and independent media in the age of artificial intelligence.
Description:
Jimmy welcomes back to the show investigative journalist and author Whitney Webb to discuss her explosive new investigation revealing how billionaire Leslie Wexner and Jeffrey Epstein built a corporate welfare state in Ohio, creating a model of "public-private partnerships" that privatized government, funneled billions in taxpayer money to big tech data centers, and is now driving up electricity bills while gutting public schools and healthcare.
Webb details how Wexner created a de facto private government in his hometown of New Albany, Ohio, which evolved into Jobs Ohio—a private corporation that controls the state's liquor tax revenue with zero public accountability—and has become the blueprint for a techno-feudal state promoted by the "dark enlightenment" figures like Peter Thiel and JD Vance.
She warns that Ohio is a petri dish for a nationwide takeover, where data centers are replacing public infrastructure, digital IDs are mandatory, and federal legislation is stripping local governments of the power to resist.
Webb also dissects the coordinated effort by Compact Magazine, Peter Thiel, and Soros-funded outlets to dismiss the Epstein scandal, and raises concerns about Joe Kent's emergence as a potential controlled opposition figure designed to manufacture a "domestic terrorist" profile the government can later use against anti-war populists.
Description:
In this powerful commentary, Whitney Webb dissects the chilling implications of The Age of AI: And Our Human Future, co-authored by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and geopolitical architect Henry Kissinger. While the book presents itself as a sober warning about the future of artificial intelligence, Webb argues it’s more a blueprint for technocratic dominance—a future where a small elite shapes AI's objectives while the rest of humanity becomes passive subjects of its influence.
The discussion explores how AI threatens to create a divided society, not simply by economic inequality, but by a deeper cognitive split: those who understand and control AI versus those rendered increasingly incapable of independent thought. Through convenience and overreliance, we risk surrendering not just skills, but our capacity for creativity, decision-making, and even self-awareness.
Webb warns that this path could lead to a post-human future in which AI becomes a new religion and humanity is spiritually hollowed, commodified, and ultimately controlled. The antidote? A cultural return to human creativity, soul-driven expression, and conscious resistance to the subtle erosion of our autonomy.

Everyone's been focused on RFK Jr in the hearing. But what people may be are ignoring certainly in the MAGA movement, the deputy secretary, Jim O'Neill, who would also be confirmed.
As we have seen on previous editions of #SolutionsWatch, there are high-tech, cutting-edge solutions to the problems that face us. But what about good old-fashioned low-tech or no-tech solutions?

In this episode, Whitney is joined by independent media veteran James Corbett to discuss the upcoming US presidential election, how it differs from previous cycles and why rejecting the corrupt political duopoly is more important than ever.
Today the Independent Media Alliance brings you a panel on the rise of the digital ID, and how it is a foundational part of the growing technocratic agenda.
We will discuss the interesting way that digital IDs continue to be the "solution" to whatever "problem" is currently facing the people, and how those problems can usually be traced back to the very government proposing the so-called solution.
We will highlight the differing dialects used to promote digital ID by the different sides of the government, to give the illusion of opposition, yet show how all lead to the same outcome, and how all of this leads to the technocratic control structure that will enslave Democrats and Republicans alike.

MintPress director and host Mnar Adley is joined by investigative journalist Whitney Webb to talk about Peter Thiel’s influence on Trump and his VP JD Vance and how a Trump administration would advance a CIA-Mossad backed plan to expand the technocratic surveillance state.
Trump has chosen JD Vance as his running mate, a character made and financed by Silicon Valley and surveillance state billionaire Peter Thiel. It seems no matter whom you vote for, our national security state – and that of Israel’s – will be the winner.
Peter Thiel’s CIA-tech empire “Palantir” helped Israel develop the AI lavender system which has been used by the Israeli military to target civilian homes, children and completely decimate the world’s largest concentration camp with precision.
However, this is not Peter Thiel's first ride in the Trump campaign as he helped bankroll Trump himself in the 2016 election and even worked in his cabinet to advance the surveillance state by collecting our data during COVID.

Description:
So, what’s the big deal with data nowadays? Well, it’s like we’ve struck oil in our backyards, but instead of crude, it’s zeroes and ones flowing through the fiber-optic pipelines. It’s the new gold rush, and there’s a mad scramble for control.
This isn’t just about who gets the biggest slice of the digital pie—it’s about baking an entirely new societal hierarchy. And here’s the kicker: as we increasingly lean on AI for everything from deciding which shoes to buy to diagnosing our sniffles, we’re inadvertently weaving a web of dependency.
Are we nurturing a generation of tech-savvy savants or sleepwalking into becoming AI’s unquestioning sidekicks? Let’s unravel this tangled ball of yarn together and see where the threads lead us.
Whitney Webb and myself delve deeper into how this narrative might impact society at large or explore specific strategies for individuals and organizations to navigate this shift. Are you ready to join us as we decode the matrix of modern-day feudalism?
