from Episode 158 Part 2 - Tim and Ray on the 3 Evils: Epstein, Big Tech, and Long Island
3 min
They discuss how the Bush and Clinton political dynasties have diminished in influence, name-check the Rockefellers and Carlyle Group, and wonder who the new powerful families are, landing on tech billionaires like Bezos.
- Tech companies show the visible merger of state and corporate power through security, data mining, and platform control.
- Tim argues billionaires like Bezos are likely in regular meetings with government officials who influence their business decisions.
- Amazon probably has CIA or agency plants positioned as number two or number three executives.
- Tech moguls might have been selected and capitalized specifically because they were geniuses willing to play along with government interests.
- During the organic development of tech platforms, government likely monitored progress and guided outcomes at critical junctures.
- DARPA and the government maintain a significant technological head start over the private sector.
