We've been quiet recently because Mark Goodwin and I have been working to write the most comprehensive investigation into Polymarket's origins and ambitions to date. We found that Polymarket's "official" origin story, that Shayne Coplan founded the company alone in 2020 and then built "the company in his bathroom", is a lie. Polymarket really started years earlier as another company called TokenBnk that was deeply tied to Israeli interests, specifically a crypto company founded by Benjamin Netanyahu's niece and nephew. Coplan has actively tried to obfuscate this company from his story and it's not the only thing either. In Part 1 of this two-part series, we unravel the real history of Polymarket, directly connecting the company to Peter Thiel's efforts to resurrect controversial DARPA programs from its now defunct Information Awareness Office. Polymarket appears to have been chosen by Thiel and his associates to succeed in resurrecting DARPA's Policy Analysis Market where another Thiel-linked company, Augur, had previously failed. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we explore the current influence of prediction markets and Polymarket, including how an insidious effort to have prediction markets replace representative democracy as a governance model is already being slowly implemented by the White House. Read Part 1 here:

In Part 1 of this 3-part series, Iain Davis dissected how the “Praxians”—the Silicon Valley-rooted wing of the global oligarchy—have seized control of the second Trump administration. Part 1 also considered how their technological partnership with the Israeli government has enabled them to deploy their “digital kill chain” in Gaza. Here, in Part 2 of what is now a three-part series, Iain focuses on how these Praxians employ State Crimes Against Democracy (SCADs) and show how they benefit from practically every SCAD move. As he picks apart propaganda narratives, it reveals the scope of the hybrid war we’re all now fighting, whether we know it or not.

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.

NEW Podcast - Trump & the Technocratic Tyranny with Iain Davis Iain Davis joins me to discuss his forthcoming book, The Technocratic Dark State, which explores how the so-called “counter-elites” and tech billionaires behind much of the second Trump administration’s policies envisage a world remarkably similar to, and perhaps even worse than, that of the globalist oligarchs long reviled by Trump’s electoral base. Podcast available now to Unlimited Hangout members, and will be publicly available in a few days.

NEW ARTICLE - Cold Harbor: Eugenics, Epstein and Big Tech In the recent cache of Jeffrey Epstein emails unveiled by Bloomberg, Epstein’s connections to the elites of academia illuminate his interest in transhumanism, or neo-eugenics — a philosophy that has become commonplace among Big Tech oligarchs and ruling class elites. Shaping the development of pharmaceutical products, inspiring emergency-based deregulation and dovetailing with the expansion of the biomedical surveillance state, the material implications of this belief system are consequential and widespread.

NEW - City-States Without Limits – Part 1 A powerful group of Silicon Valley oligarchs are using the Trump administration to push for the construction of privatized city-states in the US. Their interests are aligned with a global network of oligarchs who want to move away from the the global governance of nation-states to the global governance of an international network of city-states. The intention is for the city-states to form a “patchwork” of realms overseen by a regional balance of power global governance system: the Multipolar World Order.
