A little over a year ago, Trump was working at McDonald’s and now he’s speaking at Davos.

As the U.S. races to dominate artificial intelligence, a dangerous question emerges: Can America outpace China without becoming a mirror image of its authoritarian techno-state?
In this compelling analysis, Whitney Webb challenges the growing call for civil-military fusion in the U.S.—a model China has aggressively pursued—which increasingly resembles a corporatist architecture that blurs the line between democracy and technocracy. Is this convergence a national security necessity, or a quiet surrender of American civil liberties in the name of power?
Digging beneath the surface, the discussion unveils the deep entanglement between U.S. financial elites, Big Tech and Chinese state-linked corporations. From Henry Kissinger’s long-standing ties to Beijing, to Wall Street oligarchs like Larry Fink and Steve Schwarzman straddling both Chinese and American power circles, Webb argues that transnational capital—not ideology—is driving this AI arms race.
The implications reach back decades, connecting today’s elite with shadowy scandals like Chinagate and the suspicious death of Commerce Secretary Ron Brown. And now, with figures like Howard Lutnick poised to lead U.S. commerce, and Elon Musk simultaneously entangled with both U.S. defense and Chinese tech, the question becomes unavoidable: How secure is national security when capital knows no borders?
How does Silicon Valley play both sides of the political aisle? Who are the key companies trying to control what we can say, and where we can communicate, and whether our social credit score will allow us access to currency? Who will release the currency — national governments, public-connected banks or private corporate entities?
Here, Whitney Webb gives us a quick rundown of the key players, how they are connected, which have government and intelligence contracts, which might bring down the boot on our freedom of speech, press, religion or assembly.
This is a deep web of entities, but the power they seek isn’t hard to understand. Nor the risks they pose for us all. Here’s more from Whitney’s Fan Club.

Is President Donald Trump eliminating the globalist elites or quietly providing the mechanism they will use to control every individual? What is Trump’s relationship with Larry Fink, the co-chair of the World Economic Forum? Has does Palantir Technologies figure into the cryptocurrencies coming into vogue?
If Trump passes, will J.D. Vance be any different or will he more quickly advance Peter Thiel’s digital identification and control mechanisms? Here’s more from the Reese Report with Greg Reese.
Why does earning $100,000 per year now feel like being poor? Times are certainly changing, and not exactly getting better.
As Really Graceful puts it, “The American Dream is on life support. In May 2025, $100K feels like poverty, homes cost $400K+, and people are financing burritos with ‘Buy Now, Pay Later’ apps like Klarna.”
In this deep-dive, Really Graceful breaks down why homeownership is slipping out of reach, how corporations like BlackRock are buying up entire neighborhoods, and why the system feels rigged against everyday Americans.
We all know that Larry Fink is CEO of Blackrock, but who actually owns the company? Veteran Internet researcher Ian Carroll does some digging and finds that Warren Buffett might be its largest owner. Buffett owns about 45 percent percent of the shares through his multinational conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway, based in Omaha, Nebraska.
Both Merrill Lynch and Bank of America are involved in this tangled mess, though mergers and acquisitions that Carroll outlines here. Bank of America traces it roots to the Bank of Italy, formed in San Francisco in 1904 by a banker, Amadeo Giannini, whose parents had emigrated to the United States from Italy during the Gold Rush.
One lingering question? Carroll does not find any Blackrock board members directly tied to Berkshire Hathaway. Why would a company own nearly half of another entity, and not maintain a visible presence on its board? Here’s more from Question Everything.
Rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs is in a mess of trouble after federal authorities raided his properties as part of an investigation into sex and drug trafficking allegations. But BlazeTV’s Jason Whitlock was well ahead of the story. Jason joins Glenn Beck to break it all down: Is Diddy the new Jeffrey Epstein? Why is all of this coming out now? Will there be a cover-up?
Jason also explains why he believes this goes way deeper than just Diddy: “It’s about the push for nihilism…and Hip-Hop is at the forefront of that.” Jason reveals the dark side of the Hip-Hop industry and the shady groups who he believes are calling the shots.
But while the Hip-Hop industry has fallen, Jason discusses his upcoming effort to build society back up: The second annual Fearless Army Roll Call men’s summit, featuring country music star John Rich, an appearance from Glenn Beck, and really good food!
