alone in her dimly lit apartment, staring at a laptop screen, her voice trembling 01:45.350 --> 01:47.170 with a mix of fear and defiance. 01:47.830 --> 01:53.990 The year is 2025 and the Trump administration's data sharing initiatives with Palantir are 01:53.990 --> 01:54.730 in full swing. 01:55.450 --> 01:58.470 Big Brother is watching you, that's what they used to say, right? 01:59.250 --> 02:04.390 Just words in the book we read in high school, something about a dystopia that felt so far 02:04.390 --> 02:04.670 away. 02:05.210 --> 02:05.670 But now? 02:06.610 --> 02:07.830 Now I feel it. 02:08.270 --> 02:15.070 Every click, every word, every thought I've shared, it's all out there, stitched together 02:15.070 --> 02:19.450 by some AI monster called Foundry, run by Palantir. 02:20.950 --> 02:22.210 They're watching me. 02:22.770 --> 02:23.270 Me. 02:24.390 --> 02:30.850 Sarah Thompson, a nobody, a third grade teacher from Ohio who's never broken a law, never 02:30.850 --> 02:32.310 even gotten a parking ticket. 02:32.870 --> 02:39.670 All I did was post on X, just one post saying I didn't agree with the mass deportations. 02:40.150 --> 02:43.530 I called them cruel, said they tore families apart. 02:43.950 --> 02:46.110 It wasn't even that viral. 02:46.620 --> 02:50.310 Just a few likes, a couple of retweets, but that was enough. 02:51.110 --> 02:52.250 It started small. 02:52.810 --> 02:54.470 My bank account froze last week. 02:55.090 --> 02:55.770 No explanation. 02:56.770 --> 02:59.690 Just a vague email about suspicious activity. 03:00.430 --> 03:02.050 Then my health insurance got canceled. 03:02.550 --> 03:02.770 Poof. 03:03.410 --> 03:03.670 Gone. 03:04.330 --> 03:06.790 Right when I needed a refill on my asthma meds. 03:07.350 --> 03:10.770 I called the Social Security Administration, thinking it was a mistake. 03:12.580 --> 03:15.230 But the agent said my records were under review. 03:15.720 --> 03:16.610 Under review? 03:17.050 --> 03:17.810 For what? 03:18.730 --> 03:20.670 I've paid my taxes my whole life. 03:21.350 --> 03:23.970 Then yesterday I got a letter from the school district. 03:24.530 --> 03:29.850 They're investigating me for anti-American sentiments based on my social media activity. 03:30.430 --> 03:35.530 My job's on the line, my savings are locked, and I can't even afford my inhaler. 03:36.130 --> 03:37.230 I did some digging. 03:37.810 --> 03:40.490 Probably stupid, but I had to know. 03:41.350 --> 03:47.090 Turns out the Trump administration signed an executive order in March 2025, something about 03:47.090 --> 03:49.030 eliminating information silos. 03:49.710 --> 03:50.870 Sounds harmless, right? 03:51.710 --> 03:52.150 But it's not. 03:52.950 --> 03:59.210 It's Palantir, that creepy tech company slurping up every piece of data about me, my taxes, 03:59.790 --> 04:04.650 my medical history, my student loan payments, even my location for my phone. 04:05.430 --> 04:08.730 They're building what the news calls a master database. 04:09.350 --> 04:12.930 Cross-referencing everything to create a profile of who I am. 04:13.510 --> 04:17.310 And because I dared say something against their policies, I'm flagged. 04:18.030 --> 04:19.210 A potential critic. 04:19.930 --> 04:21.430 Maybe even a domestic threat. 04:22.390 --> 04:23.970 That's what the reports say they're doing. 04:24.650 --> 04:29.210 Targeting people who speak out, using AI to hunt us down, like we're criminals. 04:30.110 --> 04:35.190 I keep thinking about my students, Lil' Emma, whose dad got deported last month. 04:35.850 --> 04:38.290 I hugged her when she cried, told her it'd be okay. 04:38.890 --> 04:40.770 Now I wonder if that's in my file too. 04:41.510 --> 04:43.930 Some algorithm marking me as a sympathizer. 04:44.570 --> 04:45.350 What's next? 04:46.010 --> 04:47.430 Will I show up at my door? 04:47.910 --> 04:49.190 Will I lose my home? 04:50.030 --> 04:57.430 I've read about Palantir's $113 million in contracts since Trump took office. 04:57.850 --> 05:02.110 Plus that $795 million pentagon deal. 05:03.050 --> 05:04.950 They're not just watching immigrants. 05:05.530 --> 05:06.750 They're watching all of us. 05:07.130 --> 05:07.810 Every American. 05:08.450 --> 05:09.230 Every detail. 05:09.890 --> 05:12.070 All in one place, ready to be weaponized. 05:12.670 --> 05:15.370 I spoke up once and now my life's unraveling. 05:15.990 --> 05:18.070 Brick brother isn't just watching me. 05:18.770 --> 05:19.950 He's coming for me. 05:20.590 --> 05:23.810 And I'm terrified there's nowhere left to hide. 05:29.990 --> 05:33.310 Facial recognition confirms suspect identified. 05:33.730 --> 05:34.730 Freedom terminated. 05:34.730 --> 05:35.770 Yo, they're watching. 05:36.070 --> 05:36.490 They're tracking. 05:36.830 --> 05:37.850 Your life's on the screen. 05:38.230 --> 05:38.930 Pay tax. 05:39.050 --> 05:40.610 Got yourself a digital dream. 05:41.210 --> 05:43.530 Palantir's cross in the government's grip. 05:43.930 --> 05:45.050 Sucking up your data. 05:45.250 --> 05:46.330 Watch your freedom slide. 05:47.410 --> 06:00.950 I'm just a man living paycheck to pain. 06:01.130 --> 06:02.310 Caught in their web. 06:02.450 --> 06:03.790 Now they're spinning my name. 06:04.110 --> 06:05.370 A deep fake fidget. 06:05.370 --> 06:06.450 They frame my face. 06:06.750 --> 06:08.130 Now I'm cuffed in the dark. 06:08.410 --> 06:09.790 Lost in this case. 06:10.010 --> 06:10.950 Innocent, don't guilty. 06:11.310 --> 06:12.450 Man, that's just a lie. 06:12.650 --> 06:15.210 When AI's the jury and the truth pushed aside. 06:15.210 --> 06:17.330 Palantir's got eyes in the sky. 06:17.470 --> 06:17.930 No shame. 06:18.210 --> 06:19.390 Data mod in my life. 06:19.570 --> 06:20.850 Turning hope to a fly. 06:59.940 --> 07:01.060 Down the camera's late. 07:05.870 --> 07:07.030 The version of truth. 07:07.470 --> 07:08.450 Cops don't care. 07:08.570 --> 07:09.750 They just follow the code. 07:10.150 --> 07:11.230 AI says I'm guilty. 07:11.470 --> 07:12.750 So the gavel's bestowed. 07:13.190 --> 07:15.450 Palantir's watching every move that I make. 07:15.970 --> 07:18.450 Surveillance dates are safe and it's ready to take. 07:18.510 --> 07:19.290 They're in your abs. 07:19.530 --> 07:20.710 You DM's your dream. 07:48.980 --> 07:49.860 My thoughts collide. 07:50.280 --> 07:51.520 No lawyer, no justice. 07:51.700 --> 07:52.980 Just a system that lied. 07:53.240 --> 07:54.440 My face on their screens. 07:54.680 --> 07:55.680 But it ain't my crime. 07:55.680 --> 07:58.900 What Palantir's algorithms keep sticking my time. 07:59.020 --> 07:59.960 Demining your data. 08:00.300 --> 08:01.440 Every step that you take. 08:01.720 --> 08:02.780 Every word that you speak. 08:03.180 --> 08:04.300 Every choice that you make. 08:04.540 --> 08:05.740 This ain't just my fight. 08:06.040 --> 08:07.220 It's a war for us all. 08:07.520 --> 08:09.300 When the government's boot makes the... 08:09.300 --> 08:10.220 Innocent fall. 08:10.380 --> 08:11.640 Yo, America, wake up. 08:11.800 --> 08:12.940 See the chains on your wrist. 08:13.220 --> 08:15.760 Big tech's got your freedom in the digital fist. 08:16.480 --> 08:17.280 Peaceful rebellion. 08:17.580 --> 08:18.880 Yeah, we'll fight with our voice. 08:19.240 --> 08:20.300 Take back what's ours. 08:20.400 --> 08:21.840 Cause we still got a choice. 08:22.060 --> 08:22.720 They're watching your kids. 08:22.840 --> 08:23.480 Your wife, your home. 08:23.640 --> 08:24.160 Drones in the sky. 08:24.280 --> 08:24.800 You're never alone. 08:24.800 --> 08:25.560 Every click's a confession. 08:25.720 --> 08:26.320 Every post's a sin. 08:26.420 --> 08:27.780 They're building a prison you're already in. 08:27.860 --> 08:29.180 But I see the spark in the hearts of the free. 08:29.260 --> 08:30.460 You're fire that burns for all liberty. 08:30.680 --> 08:32.080 But I feel the pulse in the hearts that resists. 08:32.160 --> 08:33.640 I spark in the fires that burn through their fists. 09:02.500 --> 09:04.660 Back in court, but the deck's been stacked. 09:05.480 --> 09:07.500 AI's the witness and the truth's been hacked. 09:07.920 --> 09:08.980 My life's on trial. 09:09.160 --> 09:10.460 But I'm holding my ground. 09:10.620 --> 09:11.660 Screaming for justice. 09:11.960 --> 09:13.620 But it's nowhere to be found. 09:13.780 --> 09:14.660 They're watching you too. 09:15.040 --> 09:16.100 Every move in the scope. 09:17.140 --> 09:17.860 Palantir's penoxic. 09:18.280 --> 09:19.220 Constrangling your hope. 09:19.340 --> 09:20.620 But I've been these bars. 09:20.740 --> 09:22.040 For the ones who still fight. 09:22.040 --> 09:25.000 For the dream of a nation that's bathed in the light. 09:25.240 --> 09:26.440 This ain't just my story. 09:26.640 --> 09:27.760 It's the spark of a flame. 09:27.920 --> 09:30.700 A call to the people to reclaim your name. 09:30.940 --> 09:32.100 They're done to feed cow. 09:32.280 --> 09:33.360 Let your voices collide. 09:33.680 --> 09:34.820 With the rebels to freedom. 10:13.040 --> 10:13.860 It ain't done it. 10:14.060 --> 10:15.320 They locked up my body. 10:15.440 --> 10:16.660 But my soul's left my soul. 10:16.820 --> 10:17.900 Will I break free? 10:18.240 --> 10:19.440 I'll be crushed by their game. 10:19.920 --> 10:20.800 The truth's still out. 10:21.000 --> 10:21.320 They're ready. 11:28.660 --> 11:29.520 Suspect status. 11:30.060 --> 11:31.520 Unresolved cases still pending. 11:33.380 --> 11:35.820 Now, you listened to the podcast here. 11:36.380 --> 11:37.700 If you were listening live, 11:37.780 --> 11:41.640 you would have noticed that about half that song got cut off. 11:45.040 --> 11:47.200 Because I didn't time it right. 11:49.560 --> 11:52.900 And the station takes hard breaks 11:52.900 --> 11:56.300 and hard switches for scheduled programming. 11:59.020 --> 12:01.720 If you listen live routinely, 12:02.040 --> 12:05.060 you know that I do this like every episode. 12:05.600 --> 12:06.860 Every, every week. 12:08.420 --> 12:13.220 And so the podcast, you do hear a lot more. 12:13.340 --> 12:14.940 Like I'm going to play one more song 12:15.480 --> 12:17.100 and then we're going to call it quits. 12:17.220 --> 12:18.640 But first I want to tell you, 12:18.800 --> 12:20.900 go check out federated.computer 12:20.900 --> 12:24.940 if you want some really good service. 12:25.920 --> 12:28.940 And just go see what they can do. 12:29.460 --> 12:32.120 They offer open source software 12:33.680 --> 12:37.360 and solutions at an extremely awesome price. 12:37.600 --> 12:39.080 They are good people, great people. 12:39.600 --> 12:40.060 I love them. 12:40.280 --> 12:43.200 And they are not paying me to say this. 12:43.720 --> 12:45.020 I promote federated. 12:45.400 --> 12:48.900 Computer because I believe in what they do. 12:51.080 --> 12:53.360 The other thing I wanted to tell you about 12:53.360 --> 12:56.140 is don't forget to subscribe to my sub stack. 12:59.560 --> 13:02.340 And this, this episode is going to be chopped up. 13:03.240 --> 13:06.340 All these stories that I wrote and read 13:06.340 --> 13:11.080 are going to be chopped up into individual episodes 13:11.080 --> 13:13.580 that will be posted on, on sub stack. 13:14.820 --> 13:20.960 I'm going to, you know, this week was the book 1984 quotes. 13:21.320 --> 13:23.560 I want to find other quotes 13:24.180 --> 13:27.980 and other other ideas to write stories about. 13:28.360 --> 13:28.720 So anyways, 13:30.320 --> 13:32.840 if you're interested in having your own show 13:32.840 --> 13:35.840 on real liberty media, go to, 13:38.180 --> 13:40.020 send an email to, 13:44.300 --> 13:46.940 of course I'm going to screw it up. 13:47.280 --> 13:49.460 I don't actually see it in front of my face. 13:51.260 --> 13:56.260 Go to matrix media eight, the number eight at proton.me 13:57.140 --> 14:00.200 and tell them that you're interested in getting 14:01.060 --> 14:02.440 their own, your own show. 14:05.360 --> 14:06.620 It's, it's easy to do. 14:07.020 --> 14:08.620 Just got to be consistent. 14:09.600 --> 14:11.200 I'm pretty sure you probably want you 14:11.200 --> 14:12.740 to be a little more consistent than I am. 14:14.460 --> 14:15.560 But who knows? 14:15.740 --> 14:18.240 Anyways, this is the final song for the podcast. 14:19.120 --> 14:21.080 Then it's just because I like this song 14:21.080 --> 14:21.980 and it's a short song. 14:22.260 --> 14:24.580 And I think it's appropriate to go with 14:24.580 --> 14:27.840 what all the stories were about today 14:27.840 --> 14:29.300 and the, and the news stories. 14:29.780 --> 14:30.880 So check this out. 14:31.540 --> 14:32.240 No bones. 14:48.240 --> 14:49.020 No bones. 14:49.300 --> 14:51.720 They strip you down to code. 14:52.060 --> 14:55.000 Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up. 14:55.080 --> 15:07.850 Just a num, it's got your bones. 15:08.730 --> 15:09.490 No bones. 15:10.010 --> 15:10.830 No bones. 15:13.810 --> 15:16.910 Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up. 15:18.990 --> 15:20.470 Terms of service,

your daily grind. 15:26.010 --> 15:26.430 I'll love it. 15:26.530 --> 15:27.630 Everything is up to sale. 15:27.630 --> 15:28.950 Unless you can fight, you can resist. 15:29.050 --> 15:30.370 With everybody, you can prevail. 15:30.590 --> 15:31.290 No bones. 15:31.630 --> 15:32.670 No bones. 15:33.030 --> 15:51.420 The tech's got your bones. 15:52.380 --> 15:53.100 No bones. 15:53.560 -->

--> 16:20.040 We will rise. 16:20.200 --> 16:20.880 We're not done. 16:21.600 --> 16:24.080 In the cyberpunk knife, we'll dance to no other's drum. 16:24.400 --> 16:25.500 So switch off the systems.
