For those who prefer video, here’s the follow the money rundown of clipit and the influence operations machine in your feed. Enjoy! 💃🏻🥷

This is dynamite. You need to read the whole thread.

Peter Thiel is a significant backer and financier of Project 2025.

Part 2, and my last post about my Shawn Ryan Show episode.

Last I heard, it had been edited. Then Shawn went on Diary of a CEO and described a woman whose interview he’d never release. That woman wasn’t me, unless he was lying.

But I never expected it to air, and here’s why:

I spent weeks prepping with Shawn’s team. I was booked to follow the money on TPUSA and the surveillance state, and naming names is what I do. I’m meticulous, and I never say anything I can’t prove. Then, right before we started filming, I was told I couldn’t name names. When I brought up who funds Flock Safety, the license plate cameras now in thousands of American towns, I was told not to say Andreessen Horowitz or Peter Thiel. You can’t follow the money without showing where the money flows. That’s when I realized this episode would never air, before we had even started.

So when I got home, I did what I do. I followed the money. And, turns out Shawn Ryan is invested in companies backed by the exact people I was told not to name, plus Israel.

(1) Anduril Industries: Ryan has been an investor since October 2025. Anduril started with surveillance towers and now builds drones and autonomous weapons. Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund led its June 2025 round, and Andreessen Horowitz co-led its $5 billion round in May 2026. Those are the two names I was told to leave out. In February 2026, Anduril’s founder, Palmer Luckey, made an undisclosed trip to Israel and met with Netanyahu and senior defense officials. By June, Anduril was setting up an Israel operation to sell to Israel’s Ministry of Defense. Shawn had Palmer on his show in February 2025 and invested eight months later.

(2) Shield AI: Ryan has been an investor since November 2025. It builds AI-piloted drones and fighter jets. Andreessen Horowitz led its first major round and has kept investing ever since. Shawn had its co-founder on the show the same season he invested.

(3) Sesh: Ryan has been an investor since August 2025. Its $40 million round was led by 8VC, the venture firm of Joe Lonsdale, who co-founded Palantir with Peter Thiel. Lonsdale was a guest on Shawn’s show on May 7, 2026, less than three months before I taped. Palantir signed a strategic partnership with Israel’s Ministry of Defense in 2024.

And Flock Safety, the company I came to talk about, is backed by Andreessen Horowitz, which led two of its rounds, and by Founders Fund, Peter Thiel’s fund.

So I was booked to expose who funds the surveillance state. I was told not to name Andreessen Horowitz or Peter Thiel. And the host has money in companies backed by Andreessen Horowitz, by Thiel’s fund, and by Thiel’s Palantir co-founder, including one that is building its business in Israel.

Then there’s the rest of it. Sarah Adams, his former network host, was messaging his team to keep me off (see Part 1 if you missed it). An IDF settlement contractor tagged the two of them together. Pro-Israel groups passed around her clip from his show as proof that Israel didn’t drive the war. And after his Diary of a CEO interview, accounts from the same network that spent the summer smearing me told everyone his “CIA woman” was me, citing “sources.” It wasn’t me. I never discussed a polygraph with Shawn Ryan, and it was never why I went on. So either he was talking about someone else, or somebody turned his story into a weapon against me.

Honestly, I don’t want the episode to air, and I told them so right after we taped, because it was a watered-down version of my work. How it all happened was a tough lesson learned for me in this industry. Now you know what was going on behind the scenes. If this episode doesn’t air, I can assure you it’s not because I’m a fraud. It’s because I won’t water down who funds the surveillance state, and I won’t sell out to protect anyone’s investments.

So there you have it.

Data centers are poisonous, loud, & expensive. I wish someone would made a list of candidates for office who took a NO DATA CENTER pledge.
Oh wait someone did! I just put this together. Join for free to be sure that when you vote, your candidate has taken the NO DATA CENTER pledge. Let’s go ✊🏽♥️

I’m done, I’m tired of the lies.

[Trump Lie Tracker (Commentary Account) @MAGALieTracker]

BREAKING: Anderson Cooper just aired a montage of Trump obsessing over the attractiveness of several men he’s campaigned for. You’re not alone if you’ve noticed a pattern. Wow.

[Jason Kint @jason_kint]

This appears to be the (nonsensical) statement Meta has provided to all major outlets about the $25B fine which had to do with an unprecedented data leak that they then kept under wraps through the 2016 election until scandal broke wide open in 2018. Tax on speech? Spin, spin 1/2

[Jason Kint @jason_kint]

If you're a business or artist with intellectual property, watch the clock.

10 days until Meta claims the right to scrape your website to develop its AI. Your consent? Apparently unnecessary. All it takes is someone sharing a link on Facebook or Instagram - or you using Meta's services.

This is what happens when we don’t regulate the tech industry, literally at all. It will be left entirely to the legal system. An imperfect and incomplete solution, at best.

[John Jackson @hissgoescobra]

Best, most simple explanation of the PHP security flaw that impacts up to 70% of the internet.

[John Jackson @hissgoescobra]

We murdered hundreds of people without due process belonging to one of the most vulnerable populations on the planet and blowtorched our reputation for decades internationally for what? Under the rock, the creatures that squirm are hideous beyond words. This is sickening.

[John Jackson @hissgoescobra]

I would add that Trump can try to concoct whatever scheme he wants, but this deal can absolutely be ripped up by the next administration in the U.S. or a valid Venezuelan administration that’s democratically elected. The whole thing was ultra vires on both sides and voidable.

🚨 BREAKING: This ad, when tested, moves swing voters 8 points away from Trump & Republicans.

THAT’S HUGE MOVEMENT.

Please share!

Turns out Americans don’t like creepy Republicans obsessing about their junk. 🤷‍♂️ #MAGAInYourBathroom

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

I’ll stipulate that Trump is an agent of Putin.

Go down the checklist.

1. Destroyed the Western alliance? Putin wanted that.
2. Threatened a NATO ally over Greenland? Putin wanted that.
3. Pulled out of the intermediate nuclear pact? Putin wanted that.
4. Withdrawing 25-40,000 troops from Western Europe while Russian bellicosity is rising? Putin wanted that.
5. Russian satellites giving coordinates to Iranians killing our soldiers, and his response is “they kill us, we kill them”? What American president says that?

I think he’s been compromised.

The election of Donald Trump may be the greatest foreign policy success in post-Czarist Russian history.

While Republicans work to ban abortion, Democratic governors are on the front lines fighting to protect our fundamental freedoms.

Arizona needs a leader who won’t back down. @katiehobbs will always protect reproductive freedom.
