The Machinery of Control

The false flags are flying. The surveillance is growing. Truth is the last defense.

In this episode, I sit down with writer and activist THE LEFT HOOK with Wajahat Ali and former DHS Chief of Staff Miles Taylor to break down the Trump administration’s escalating quest for totalitarian control, and how the playbook is unfolding in real time.

Miles and I saw it from the inside. Wajahat’s been tracking it from the outside. Together, we connect the dots:

  • How Trump’s team is staging false flags to justify crackdowns and consolidate power.

  • The threat of NSPM-7, the memo that allows Americans to be watchlisted as “domestic terrorists.”

  • The rise of Palantir, ICE, and mass surveillance, merging private tech with state control.

  • The coming push to invoke the Insurrection Act, and what that means for civilian oversight.

  • And why the Epstein files could be the scandal that finally cracks their facade.

This isn’t hypothetical. It’s happening, quietly, bureaucratically, and in plain sight.

As Miles said, “Evil doesn’t just show up with a jackboot that kicks down your door in the barrel of a gun. It’s bureaucratic, it’s slow, and that’s what makes it so insidious.”

On that note, a reminder that courage inspires courage. And right now, silence is complicity.

Listen, share, and stay engaged. Because this is how totalitarian control begins, and how we stop it.

More soon,

Olivia
