Substack’s newest subscription model: guilty until proven human. https://t.co/LK9jGmWXie
Video Transcript AI Summary
Substack announced a partnership with Pangram, an AI company that uses AI “to detect artificial intelligence on your writing.” The plan adds buttons to Substack posts so readers can scan someone else’s writing and receive a percentage estimating how much of it a machine thinks was written by another machine.
The transcript argues this is a “spectacularly bad idea,” describing a training-and-detection chain that, it says, repeatedly relies on synthetic imitation and stolen human writing. It also claims Pangram acknowledges that its boundaries between levels of AI assistance are more “art than science,” yet markets results with claims like “99.98% accuracy,” turning probabilistic scores into public accusations.
The transcript describes how Pangram allegedly works after an investigation called “91% Human.” It says Pangram chops writing into blocks of roughly 50 words (described as the smallest unit it can reliably evaluate). Because it cannot identify which sentences are human versus machine-written, it evaluates entire blocks and assigns each a score between zero and one based on patterns associated with AI.
It then explains Pangram draws a line at 0.5 and converts a spectrum into a binary verdict: if a block scores 0.51, it receives an “AI” label, the same categorical label as a 0.99 score. The transcript claims this creates major downstream effects at scale. For example, it says a 1500-word post could be broken into roughly 30 blocks, and a single 50-word passage crossing 0.51 could cause the entire post to be publicly labeled as “3.3% AI generated.” Placing the detection button at the top of an article is described as ensuring the score is seen before readers engage with the content, replacing engagement with “suspicion,” “aesthetic policing,” and arguments over scores that the transcript says no one knows how to interpret.
The transcript also reports a Substack CEO position: readers wondering whether content is “real” undermines trust in authorship and threatens writers’ livelihoods. The speaker counters that the true threat is public accusations built on AI scores that reduce a body of work into a decontextualized percentage.
It then recounts an incident involving Pangram CEO Max Sparrow. The transcript says Max Sparrow publicly posted a Pangram score claiming that 78% of a debut author’s novel was AI generated, and the New York Times reported the number as part of a story that led Hachette to pull the novel and terminate the author’s contract effective immediately. The transcript claims no other evidence was made public proving the Pangram score was accurate, and that when the speaker looked for Pangram’s detailed report, Max Sparrow had not fed Pangram the actual manuscript. Instead, it alleges he scanned a “bootleg copy” obtained via “oceansofpdf.com,” then produced the figure used in the fallout.
The speaker concludes by arguing Substack is turning accountability into conflict—“writer against writer”—and that this environment benefits those using AI detection, while keeping users too unsettled to trust their judgment. The speaker says they have downloaded all 102,000 subscribers and plans to move to Beehive if this continues.

Speaker 0: So Substack just announced its partnership with Pangram, an artificial intelligence company who, get this, uses artificial intelligence to detect artificial intelligence on your writing. It's going to be putting buttons on our posts to allow readers to scan someone else's writing and receive a percentage estimating how much of it a machine thinks was written by another machine. And somehow nobody involved seems to recognize what a spectacularly bad idea this in fact is. Like, do we think that maybe outsourcing human authenticity scores to AI is the last thing that we should maybe be outsourcing to AI? Because just think about the process that happens here, right? Because Pangram feeds your writing into its own AI that was trained on human writing and synthetic imitations of human writing that was produced by generative AI that itself was trained on from stolen human writing. There is something that is so profoundly anti-intellectual about measuring originality with tools that by definition cannot comprehend originality. Pangram acknowledges itself that these boundaries between these levels of AI assistance are more of an art than a science, and yet it markets resulting classifications with claims like 99.98% accuracy. But that kind of contradiction doesn't stop Pangram CEO Max Sparrow, the self-appointed AI slop janitor of the internet, from turning probabilistic scores into public accusations and then repackaging all of the fallout from that into marketing for tool that started all of it in the first place. Last year I went digging through Max Sparrow's janitorial closet and I found the fundamental fallacy that is at the heart of pangram. It was through an investigation of mine called 91% Human that I was able to find out how pangram actually works. And I want to show you how it works because it's not as clear cut as it makes it seem. The way it works is that it chops your writing into blocks of roughly 50 words, which is the smallest unit that the model claims that it can reliably evaluate at a time. And because it can't identify which sentences came from a human versus which ones came from a machine, it evaluates the entire block and assigns it a score between zero and one based off of patterns it associates with AI. And then it does something that you would never accept from anything else claiming to be evidence. It draws a line at the 0.5 mark and it turns a spectrum of uncertainty into a binary verdict. Meaning that if a block scores 0.51, that it receives a stamp saying it's AI, receiving the same categorical label as a score of 0.99. So think about what this means at scale, right? Like on Substack. So if a 1500 word post gets roughly broken into 30 blocks, let's say, then a single 50 word passage that crosses the threshold at 0.51 suddenly means that your entire post is about to get publicly labeled as being 3.3% AI generated. By placing the detection button at the top of an article, Substack is basically ensuring that the score reaches the reader before they have even had a chance to engage with a single word that you've written. What you're doing is installing a panic button above posts that is going to replace the engagement of ideas with suspicion, aesthetic policing, and endless arguments over scores that no one even knows how to interpret. And whenever the model gets it wrong, a real writer will carry the accusation. But according to Substack's CEO, they think that this feature is going to protect writers because, quote, when readers have to wonder if what they're reading is real, it undermines the trust in authorship and threatens the livelihoods of writers. Yeah, you know what I think actually threatens the livelihoods of writers, Chris? is the public accusations that are built on AI scores reducing an entire body of work into a decontextualized percentage. That's what I think does it. But hey, don't take my word for it. Why don't you ask your buddy, Max Sparrow? He knows better than anybody about that, don't you, Max? Yeah, remember that investigation I mentioned earlier? Well, it began after I found that Max Sparrow had publicly posted a pangram score claiming that 78% of a debut author's novel was AI generated. And the New York Times reported this number as part of a larger story that led to Hachette, the publishing house, pulling the novel from the shelves and terminating this author's contract effective immediately. And yet there was no other evidence that was made public that shows that pangram score was even accurate. And so I went looking for Pangram's detailed accusation, report, sorry, report, only to find that Max Spiro had not fed the actual manuscript into Pangram. No, no, no, instead he had scanned a bootleg copy that he had obtained through the illegal piracy site oceansofpdf.com. He fed that into Pangram. and got that number. So you're telling me that a young woman's career was effectively derailed by a number that was generated from a stolen copy of her own work in a scandal supposedly concerned with the theft of creative labor. Max Sparrow, ladies and gentlemen, the slop janitor extraordinaire and Substack's newest loaded gun. I mean, Substack cannot possibly call itself the last home to independent journalism while handing every reader a button that is designed to turn scrutiny inward. You're essentially taking a space built for holding power accountable and turning it into a brawl, writer against writer, and every comment section mutating into its own purity tribunal. And that atmosphere is exactly what AI slot janitors like Max Sparrow need in order to keep himself paid. They need to keep institutions panicked, keep users under-informed, and keep everyone too rattled to trust their own judgment. Otherwise, his company doesn't need to exist. So Substack, if you want to platform Max Sparrow and hand his machine authority over everyone's work, fine, but it's not going to be mine. I've already downloaded all 102,000 of my subscribers and I'm ready to walk. In fact, I'm ready to walk all the way over to Beehive if this kind of nonsense is going to keep up on your platform. I guess I'm just so fucking tired of getting caught in the crossfires of some tech bro's manufactured crisis only to watch them build a predatory product to police it while calling the whole cycle innovation.

Last night, I urged the West Hollywood City Council to delay approving its revised Flock Safety agreement until three revisions ensured it matched the staff report. I still can’t understand why key protections from 2023 were weakened or omitted, their definitions hollowed out, and no consistent explanation was given. I asked the Council to withhold approval; it passed 3–2. Prevention would have taken only a few revisions.

“Stand before the people you fear and speak your mind – even if your voice shakes." Last night, I asked the West Hollywood City Council to delay approval of its revised agreement with Flock Safety until three revisions were made to ensure the document accurately reflected the staff report. I still do not understand why key protections in the 2023 agreement were weakened or omitted, why the definitions of those protections were hollowed out, or why no one could provide a consistent explanation. I placed three of those discrepancies on the record and asked the Council to withhold approval until they were addressed. It seemed like a no-brainer to me, as the existing cameras would have remained operational from the 2023 contract, so public safety would not have even been interrupted. Even Los Angeles was still reviewing its own ALPR agreements. There was time to get this right. Instead, the agreement passed 3–2. Every generation inherits a technology whose convenience arrives before its consequences are understood. Government’s responsibility is to confront those consequences while prevention is still possible. Last night, prevention would have cost only a few revisions — and the willingness to wait.
Video Transcript AI Summary
Audrey Henson, an independent journalist covering data sovereignty, asked the city to withhold approval of the city’s revised contract with Flock and urged the city to address multiple concerns on the record. She focused on “attachment B” and said the staff report promises safeguards that “narrowly redefines or omits altogether” key provisions.
Her first concern was that the staff report claims ICE and CBP may only receive data pursuant to a valid court order, but she said the contract adds, “or by applicable law,” in section 462, which she characterized as a “far wider door.”
Second, she said section 464 offers $200,000 as the city’s “sole and exclusive remedy,” while then excusing court orders, task force access, and any “circumventation of FLOX controls.” She argued that this remedy would answer to a breach effectively without punishing. She cited page 5 of the March 16 staff report, which she said stated the city recently discovered one breach where 14 out-of-state agencies (including one federal) had accessed over 26 months of plate data without the city being notified. She asked whether this remedy would actually pay the city $1 if those 14 agencies returned tomorrow.
Lastly, she said section 4.2 grants FLOC a “perpetual irrevocable license” to the city’s data, while section 4.5 permits training machine learning algorithms on the data without any promise of anonymization. She asked why the contract is lowering the definition by adding “wherever possible to anonymization,” and said leadership should confront technology consequences while prevention is still possible, asserting that “it only costs a few revisions.”
After Henson spoke, a question was raised about how the city is taking into account public feedback. The questioner referenced Henson’s detailed breakdown of three missing provisions, asked how that kind of information will be incorporated into contracts or reviewed more thoroughly, and noted that the city already has ALPR cameras and is creating a policy. They asked what the city’s process is for incorporating more responsive community comments into ALPR-related policies and contracts.

Speaker 0: Thank you. Audrey Henson to be followed by Christoph Aldenderfer and then James Kirk.
Speaker 1: Hello. My name is Audrey Henson and I'm an independent journalist who covers data sovereignty. My work asks three questions. Who owns our information? Who can reach it? And what the law permits in the space between those two answers? Tonight that space is attachment B of the city's revised contract with Flock. The staff report promises safeguards the revised contract narrowly redefines or omits altogether. So I am asking you on the record to withhold the approval of this contract until the following concerns are appropriately addressed. First, the staff report claims ICE and CBP may only receive our data pursuant to a valid court order, but the contract adds or by applicable law in section 462, which as we know is a far wider door. SECOND, SECTION 464 OFFERS $200,000 AS THE CITY'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, ONLY TO THEN EXCUSE COURT ORDERS, TASK FORCE ACCESS, AND ANY, QUOTE, CIRCUMVENTATION OF FLOX CONTROLS. THIS REMEDY ANSWERS TO A BREACH IT EFFECTIVELY WOULD NOT PUNISH. PAGE 5 OF THE MARCH 16 STAFF REPORT STATES WE SAW ONE OF THESE BREACHES HAPPEN RECENTLY, FINDING OUT 14 OUT-OF-STATE AGENCIES, INCLUDING ONE FEDERAL, HAD ADDRESSED OVER 26 MONTHS OF OUR PLATE DATA, AND THEN THE CITY WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. I would be curious to ask the city attorney whether this remedy would actually pay the city $1 if those 14 agencies were to return tomorrow. Lastly, section 4.2 grants FLOC a perpetual irrevocable license to our data, with section 4.5 permitting the training of machine learning algorithms on said data without the promise of anonymization. Why are we lowering the definition by adding wherever possible to anonymization? Every generation inherits a technology whose conveniences arrive before its consequences are understood. Leadership means confronting them while prevention is still possible. Tonight, prevention is still possible. It only costs a few revisions. Thank you.
Speaker 0: Thank you.
Speaker 2: One of the public speakers, I believe it was Audrey, thank you so much, detailed three different provisions that are missing in the contract. When we hear that sort of information come up, how is the city taking into account that feedback? I think part of the issue and the concern that we're getting, we're hearing from people with backgrounds that are, journalism in this space. We're hearing information and feedback. I would like to be able to see that incorporated into these contracts or reviewed in a more thorough way as we get that information. And I'm aware that we as a city have already had these ALPR cameras up and we're in a process right now of creating a policy that is more responsive. So when we hear more responsive comments like this from the community, what is our process for incorporating something like those into this?

I found an SSA announcement saying the hospital birth registration form will automatically create a “Trump Account” for your child via the Enumeration at Birth program when a Social Security number is issued, with no unbundling option. This clashes with IRS/Treasury claims these accounts open only if parents elect it. If a parent doesn’t want a biometric-linked investment file created at birth, who explains? We need answers now.
@thedreydossier - Drey
Trump Accounts are no longer going to be optional- so if you ever plan on having a child in the USA, you should read what I found: According to the @SocialSecurity Administration's announcement last week, they are modifying the hospital birth registration form so that a Trump Account is AUTOMATICALLY created for your child through that same process. It will be bundled into the Enumeration at Birth program (EAB), which is the already automated gov pipeline that gives your newborn a Social Security number. It’s one box that you check, you don’t have the option of unbundling it. So if you want your kid to have a Social Security number, they have to have a Trump account. Which is strange, because according to the IRS and @USTreasury’s public announcements, these accounts only open when a parent actively elects to open one. So which is it? Why is nobody in the government interested in explaining this flagrant contradiction? Who is going to answer the basic question of what a parent does if they don’t want a government-linked investment account (one that collects biometric data, by the way) created for their child at the exact moment their child’s Social Security number issued? They can call it a savings account all they want, but a $1,000 deposit is a hell of a cheap price for building a lifelong financial file on every American child before they can consent to anything. And once the government normalizes linking a person’s identity, financial activity, and predictive systems from birth, who gets to decide what that data will be used to predict later? We deserve answers immediately. @ndstudio @WhiteHouse

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion describes live activity at the White House North Portico on the North Lawn, where scaffolding and renovation work were said to be “standard renovations,” but large sheets have been hung over the structure. The question raised is whether more than routine architectural upkeep is being done.
The second speaker claims the sheets are effectively a printed cover of the White House that preserves the appearance of the building from Lafayette Park while work continues out of view. They argue this is connected to construction they say is occurring in the East Wing, including ballroom construction and an underground military facility center, rather than merely column restoration.
They contrast the North and South porticos: the South portico is described as the prominent scenic entrance where Marine One helicopters land; the North portico is described as the covered motorcade entrance on Pennsylvania Avenue for vehicles to unload and enter directly. The speaker says the North portico is the one covered over and alleges that a chandelier was taken down during restorations, suggesting workspace for infrastructure “underneath the ballroom,” including “technology” installed below.
A third statement is introduced: “The ballroom essentially becomes a shed for what's being built under the military, including from drones.” The speaker then portrays the covered area as holding physical tools for a classified military facility, including “GPU racks, server racks” and “secure communication skills.” They connect this to concerns about sensitive data and a supposed rush to place it “under the executive office of the president” before legal processes like subpoena or FOIA could occur.
The transcript cites claims involving “Doge” and unauthorized handling of sensitive government data, including an assertion that Social Security Administration confidential data was sent through unauthorized servers and that the SSA could not confirm what was taken or where it ended up. The speaker further claims a unified database is being built under the East Wing, framed as dangerous because it unifies information that has historically been kept in separate agencies and databases, creating access rules and safeguards.
They also list related developments they say support the unified-database idea: a “modified version of the SAVE Act” described as narrowing immigration status and fusing social security identity records and citizenship information with bulk searches of state voter rolls into a single lookup. They reference the “Genesis Mission” as training and deploying AI using sensitive federal data, and they state that on June 4 Trump ordered multiple agencies and the NSA to share AI models and data and expand secure computing infrastructure. They add that three weeks later the White House Office of Administration signed a long-term data storage agreement and funded a building alteration contract with minimal public description, and then sheets went up at the North Portico.
Finally, the speaker predicts that around July 22, when “Genesis Mission Awards” are announced, journalists should watch the North Portico because the sheets may come down, and they suggest that any “GPU” entry would be consequential.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: So this is happening in real time outside of the White House. This is the North Portico here on the North Lawn. And we had seen the scaffolding up here around those columns. And the White House had said that they were going through standard renovations. But now you're seeing this sheet go up. And so the question begs, is there something more that is being done here?
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, it is go time. This is not a drill. They are hanging up sheets in the North Portico. They have literally printed the White House onto a sheet and hung it over the White House so that it still looks like the White House from Lafayette Park. And they're claiming this is just some architectural upkeep, right? Just some basic construction on the columns, right? They're restoring the columns. They're repairing the columns. But you're not going to fool me because I don't think this has anything to do with construction, at least not with the restoration construction that they're claiming that it is. I think that the construction this has to do with is the east wing construction, the ballroom construction, the underground military facility center construction. That's right. I think it's server rack time. I mean, think about where they put the sheets, where they're doing the construction right now. Because the White House has two porticos. You've got the South portico, which is the big scenic one that you see in all the movies and TV shows, right? It's where Marine One lands, the helicopter. And then there's the North portico, the covered motorcade entrance on the Pennsylvania Avenue side. It's less visible, and its purpose is built for vehicles to be able to pull under cover, unload, and move directly into the building. Yeah, that's the one they decided to cover up. And allegedly, that's the one where they took down the chandelier as part of part of these restorations and construction. You know, the big hanging light that's overhead in the portico, they took that down, which, If you're just redoing the columns, why would you need to take the chandelier down? Unless, of course, you're making room, because we're at the part of the project where the actual technology goes in underneath the ballroom. What, like that's so crazy to think about? I mean, Trump said himself that...
Speaker 2: The ballroom essentially becomes a shed for what's being built under the military, including from drones.
Speaker 1: And a shed holds tools. And the tools for a modern-day classified military facility are physical, like GPU racks, server racks, secure communication skills. And if data being stored under the executive office of the president sounds insane to you, then I fear you do not realize just how much of a data tear this administration has been on since they got into office. Doge ransacked the place in a very, very serious way. I mean, they took some of the most sensitive data that the government has on American citizens, and we have no idea where they put it. Straight up nobody knows. When they were asked to account for it, the Social Security Administration had admitted that confidential data had been sent through unauthorized servers and couldn't confirm what was taken or where it ended up. Now we're talking about your Social Security records, voter data, system after system besieged by Doge and his little minions. That is why I don't think it's all that disillusioned to think that they are rushing to get all of this physically under the executive office of the president before anybody can subpoena for it, before anybody can FOIA for it, somewhere where nobody can ask any questions about what was done and what's held down there. Which is the really scary part, because I think that they are building a unified database under the East Wing. In fact, I know that they are building a unified database, and it's important that we all talk about why this is so dangerous. because the government has always held vast amounts of information on its people, but what it has not had, at least not in the same way, is the ability to treat all of that information as one unified record. And it's kept in separate agencies and databases because those boundaries have always created a legal and a practical friction. They require officials to justify access and follow very specific rules and to seek authority before using any of that information that they gathered for one purpose in another context. And that friction, while viewed as a bureaucratic inefficiency, has also been a very huge safeguard for us. And the ballroom shed may still be under construction, but you know what's already standing and already has a covered vehicle entrance and is already connected to the East Wing through a series of underground tunnels? That's right, the White House. And even putting Doge aside for a moment, look at what has been coming together. I mean, you've got the modified version of the SAVE Act, which has just become a narrow immigration status system. And the modified version has fused social security identity records and citizenship information and bulk searches of state voter rolls into a single lookup. That's what a unified database does. And on the compute side, the Genesis mission has been building out the government's capabilities to train and deploy AI using sensitive federal data. And it just so happens that on June 4th, Trump ordered the Pentagon, intelligence agencies, the Energy Department, and the NSA to share AI models and data across all of these classified systems and to expand the secure computing infrastructure to run them. Then three weeks later, on June 30th, the White House Office of Administration signs a long-term data storage agreement and funds a building alter contract whose public description says almost nothing and then sheets go up at the North Portico and then in 13 days on July 22nd that's when the Genesis Mission Awards are announced and that's when we find out who gets plugged into the system so if you're a journalist and you live in DC then please for the love of God keep an eye on the North Portico because the sheets will come down around that time and if so much as one GPU sneaks through that door then I don't know, we might all be screwed.

I think about doorbell cameras a lot. The old doorbell felt hopeful—installed by someone ready to be surprised, welcoming whoever arrived with a pleasant sound. The camera is its opposite: placed by someone wary of what might come. It’s the same porch and wall, but a completely different wager about the people walking past.

I think about doorbell cameras a lot. The doorbell used to be a hopeful piece of hardware, installed by someone who expected something good to arrive at the door. Someone who was still willing to be surprised by whoever showed up, and wanted a pleasant sound to greet them to. The camera, however, is the doorbell’s opposite. The camera is installed by someone who is afraid of what might come to the door. It is the same wall, the same house, the same porch, but a completely different bet about the people walking past.

Speaker 0 says that taking large amounts of data can be used to train supercomputers and create a dossier on a kid that grows into an adult. They compare this to how ring and doorbell cameras work, stating they “really hate doorbell cameras” while also saying they do not hate people who have them and understand why people use them. They add that a doorbell camera has done more for a single mother who lives alone than current laws have, in terms of safety.
They then focus on neighborhood children, arguing that kids who play in the streets are watched by cameras they “didn’t consent to.” Speaker 0 says this information can later apply to those same children as adults—for example, a “13-year-old riding a bike” when they are 30 might want to do something that the law does not favor. They conclude that this leads to “all this information that they didn’t know,” which “doesn’t feel good.”

Speaker 0: This is a lot of data that will, once you start in taking it, can just run and train a lot of these supercomputers and create a dossier on a kid that grows into an adult. It's kind of like when you think about ring cameras. I really hate doorbell cameras so much. I don't hate people who have them. I understand why people have them. And I think that in many ways, a doorbell camera has done more for a single mother who lives alone than any of our laws have. in terms of safety. However, I think about the kids who play in the streets of these neighborhoods, and they have all of these cameras watching them that they didn't consent to. The 13-year-old riding a bike when they're 30 might want to do something that the law does not favor. And all of a sudden, there's all this information that they didn't know. It just feels not good.

A few people asked me for the actual documentation showing biometric data is collected when you open a Trump Account for your kid. Sharing here so you can see it for yourself, because the paperwork is more damning than any summary of it. 1. Robinhood’s own privacy statement admits it, in writing. The Trump Accounts Privacy Statement on http://trumpaccount.com says, verbatim: “Biometric Data: We extract facial geometry data from selfies/photographs/videos to verify your identity and detect/prevent fraud.” That sentence sits inside a section describing information collected about “the Responsible Party and the Account Beneficiary.” The Responsible Party is the parent. The Account Beneficiary, for the record, is the kid. 2. Treasury’s own privacy assessment confirms selfie collection- and then DENIES using AI in the same document. The Trump Accounts Privacy and Civil Liberties Impact Assessment, signed by Treasury on May 18, 2026, contains two checkboxes that cannot both be true. Section 4, titled “Biometrics / Distinguishing Features / Characteristics of Individuals,” has this box checked: ☒ “Photos/Video: Selfie images collected for identity verification through third-party identity verification services” And section 2, “Artificial Intelligence,” has this box checked on page 3: ☒ “None of the above. This information system does not utilize AI.” Same document. Same signature. Selfie biometric collection acknowledged in Section 4. AI usage denied in Section 2. 3. And to top it all off, facial-geometry extraction (measuring the distances between features on a face to produce a mathematical identifier) is definitionally an AI/ML process under the statutory definition of AI that Treasury itself cites in the same document, 15 U.S.C. § 9401(3): “a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations, or decisions.” That is exactly what a face-geometry algorithm does when it decides whether the selfie matches the ID. So either Robinhood’s privacy statement is wrong about what its vendors do, or Treasury’s checkbox is wrong about whether AI is being used. One of these documents is not telling the truth. Both of them were signed by people whose job is to tell it. I know that’s a lot to hold in your head at once, but that’s the point. The confusion isn’t a side effect of how this demonstrous thing was built.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Speaker 1 and Speaker 0 discuss Trump’s repeated, “salesman-y” updates about a ballroom, contrasting them with reports of “utter chaos,” stonewalling, shifting cost figures ($300 million then $600 million), allegations of stealing from Congress, and expanding security budgets. Speaker 0 argues Trump’s glowing updates appear aimed at someone other than the people pressing for information, and that Trump often forcefully inserts the ballroom into unrelated questions, notably amid discussions of Iran and Gaza. Speaker 0 identifies a specific pattern: the ballroom is raised in contexts connected to broader geopolitical discussions, including a moment when Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump were supposed to discuss a Gaza peace deal.
Speaker 1 cites an example from Trump’s remarks about the renovation cost “more than any building has ever spent per square foot” for a “magnificent, big, beautiful… ballroom.” Speaker 0 recalls that Trump’s mention of winning a lawsuit over the ballroom happened during a Hanukkah party at the White House in December 2025, when Trump said, “We just won the case,” and described turning down people for White House parties while anticipating a ballroom “so big” he could handle.
Speaker 0 questions why Israeli government officials would cheer an American president over a lawsuit framed as benefiting “the American people,” and interprets Trump’s “we versus them” language—“we” being the room and “them” being leaders seeking information on behalf of American citizens—as a key to understanding who the facility is being used for.
Speaker 0 then connects the ballroom to provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2027: Section 224, the U.S.-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative. Speaker 0 states Section 224 spans 500+ pages and specifies domains for fusion between the two militaries, including artificial intelligence, quantum, machine learning, and data fusion. Speaker 0 says there is also a section dedicated to expanding U.S.-Israel “underground” collaboration through 2029, the year the facility is supposed to be ready.
Speaker 0 explains the practical implications of “military fusion,” describing modern warfare as autonomous warfare reliant on AI training data and arguing that the most valuable data is “population level biometric and behavioral data.” Speaker 0 claims Israel collected this data from its own citizens and from Palestinians, and that adding American biometric data creates “one of the largest data sets in the world.” Speaker 0 adds that Israel has “combat tested” military AI systems, while the U.S. provides “compute,” “contracts,” and “infrastructure,” producing a system neither country could build alone. Speaker 0 concludes that once operational, whatever is built under the ballroom remains locked in and hardened underground, so later U.S. administrations “don’t get to choose” vendors, data, or whether American military AI is permanently fused with a foreign military’s AI.

Speaker 1: The more I listen to Trump talk about this ballroom, the more that I'm starting to realize that he's not talking to us.
Speaker 0: Is he? The language is always very salesman-y and very reassuring. It's under budget and ahead of schedule, always. Meanwhile, everything we read about the ballroom is utter chaos and Trump stonewalls us. and won't answer any of our questions. And so we're hearing one week that it's $300 million, and then $600 million, and then they're stealing from Congress, and then the security budget has gotten bigger. And in fact, we've had to sue him for every piece of information that we've gotten about the ballroom and what's being built underneath. And then what, he turns around and volunteers these glowing updates anyway? Which means that these updates are for someone else. The question is, who? And so I went back into the archives and I watched every time that he brought up the ballroom and what the context was in. And I noticed a pattern start to form. It's always forcefully surfaced, almost never ever talking about construction or anything adjacent to the ballroom. It just gets thrown in there. And it's usually in the middle of questions about Iran and Gaza. And then there was the time when Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump were supposed to be discussing the Gaza peace deal.
Speaker 1: He's spending more money than any building has ever spent per square foot on the renovation of... As an example, I'm doing a magnificent, big, beautiful... ballroom.
Speaker 0: Why does Benjamin Netanyahu look so pleased with that performance? And then I got to thinking about it, and it reminded me of the last time that Donald Trump brought up the lawsuit with the ballroom, and it was during a Hanukkah party at the White House in December of 2025.
Speaker 1: A lot of you are right in this audience, very special group of people. You know, for every time we have one of these parties, we have to turn down 10 people for everyone that makes it. It's the White House. Soon you'll have a ballroom that's so big I can handle. You know, And we just won the case today. Did you know that, Mark? We just won the case.
Speaker 0: Hey, quick question. Why would a room full of Israeli government officials be cheering on an American president for winning a lawsuit over a construction project that's supposedly being built for the benefit of the American people? Hmm? Also, notice the syntax in which Donald Trump creates a separation between, like, we versus them. You know, like, he says, we won the lawsuit against them. We, meaning we, the people in this room, one against them you know the leaders who are trying to get basic information on behalf of the American citizens in which they represent about the ballroom so we are the they in our own country and Israeli officials are the we they are the we the people and we are the they the them and this is when it clicked for me, what this military facility underneath the ballroom is going to be used for. Because right now, and I mean literally right now, moving through Congress is something called 8800 National Defense Authorization Act for the fiscal year of 2027. And there's this provision in it that's called Section 224, the U.S.-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative. It's 500 plus pages, so it covers a lot, but it lays out exactly which domains our two militaries are wanting to fuse together. You know, things like artificial intelligence, quantum, machine learning, and data fusion. I'm sorry, U.S. of Israel say what now? In fact, there is a whole separate section just dedicated to expanding the U.S.-Israel underground collaboration, the subterranean cooperation. And this collaboration is supposed to go through 2029, you know, the same year the facility is supposed to be ready. Now let's talk through what this means in a practical. sense, right? Because I think when most people hear military fusion, they're picturing soldiers like the IDF and the US military marching together, holding guns together and walking around the Pentagon together. And that's not what modern warfare is. Modern warfare is autonomous warfare. It's AI and AI comes down to needing training data. So whoever has the most data to train these AI warfare systems on has the most powerful system. And the most valuable data for military AI is population level biometric and behavioral data. And Israel had already collected that kind of data from its own citizens. And then on top of that, collected it from every Palestinian. And well, we saw what American AI tools did with that. And now add American biometric data on top of the Palestinian data and Israeli data. And you have one of the largest data sets in the world. And think about what the trade-off here is because Israel has spent the last two years running the most combat tested military AI on the planet. know live targeting systems that were refined in a real war meanwhile the us brings the compute the contracts and the infrastructure now fuse those together and you get a system that neither country could build alone and whatever gets built and switched on under that ballroom stays under that ballroom you know once trump leaves office in 2029 and the next president comes in they don't get to choose what vendors, what data, or whether American military AI has to be permanently fused with some foreign military's AI. They're inheriting a system that's already locked in, hardened underground, and was running before any of us were even able to ask what it was.

I’m told to watch for telltale shifts showing an illegal unified biometric database: language changes from anti-counterfeiting to identity verification; “just on your passport” is claimed though it’s actually searchable identity linking; “voluntary” pilots replace the old option with faster travel; new biometric contracts appear; verification turns from 1:1 to 1:N; datasets across agencies get centralized; “limited access” expands via carve-outs.

Lessons from Israel’s lies #250 The tale-tell signs your country is building an illegal unified biometric database on you, laundered through “passport modernization”: 1. The language shifts from “anti-counterfeiting” to “backend identity verification” 2. Officials say the biometric data is “just what’s already on your passport,” as if scattered government files and a searchable national identity system are the same thing. They are not. 3. A “voluntary” pilot appears, paired with faster processing, longer validity, dedicated lanes, easier travel. The old option slowly disappears. 4. New contracts appear for biometric matching, deduplication, facial recognition, or ABIS-style systems 5. The system moves from 1:1 verification (“does this person match this document?”) to 1:N identification (“search this person against everyone”) 6. A central identifier starts linking State, DHS, CBP, ICE, FBI, DMV, TSA, immigration, and law enforcement datasets 7. “Access is limited” until carve-outs arrive for police, intelligence, military, border control, and national security Don’t get distracted by the passport chip. That is not where all the wrongdoing lives. The tell is when “secure documents” become a searchable identity layer across government. REMEMBER FOLKS: If they already had this data the way they claim, they would not need new laws, new vendors, new pilots, new exceptions, and a whole new backend architecture to unify it.

Speaker 0 describes a “slow rollout” in which a select few can opt in to receive a “Trump” passport with his face and a watch certificate, and then sign up for associated passport data that includes QR codes. Speaker 0 says this passport data feed will be among the first feeds into “supercomputers.”
Speaker 0 then refers to the “National Biometric Database Authority for Israel,” stating that it “started as a passport pitch about the National Biometric Database.” Speaker 0 claims the data in the database “do not facilitate any facet of Big Brother that is not already possible today,” and emphasizes this with repeated assertions: “Lies, lies, and more lies.”
Speaker 0 argues the system is “absolutely different than any database facility” in existence, explaining the difference between having biometric and personal information accessible in separate places versus having it consolidated in one database. Speaker 0 states that because fingerprint data, iris scans, health care information, and other information are not all in one database, there would be no need to ask people to sign on to a “full biometric database” if everything were already accessible. Speaker 0 concludes by asserting that if all the information were already accessible, the request to sign on for the full biometric database would not be necessary.

Speaker 0: And so I think that what they're doing is this slow rollout of like, right now it's opt-in and you can be like a select few that get this Trump, you know, passport that's got his face on it or whatever with the little watch certificate. And when you sign up for whatever that passport is and whatever QR codes it gives you, I think that that's going to be one of the first passport data feeds into those kinds of supercomputers. I want to show you the... National Biometric Database Authority for Israel. This also started as a passport pitch about the National Biometric Database. The data contained in the database do not facilitate any facet of Big Brother that is not already possible today. Lies, lies, and more lies. It is absolutely different than any database facility that we currently have that I know of. Because the difference in having my fingerprint accessible over there and my iris scan accessible over there and my health care information accessible over there and then all my other stuff accessible right here is that it's not in one database. Because if it were, if all of this was already accessible, then you wouldn't be asking for this. You wouldn't be asking for me to sign on to whatever this full biometric database is because it would already be accessible, just like you're saying it is. So don't you dare. Freaking liars.

Happy 4th of July. These passports are suss. https://t.co/lRgLKQq0xy
Video Transcript AI Summary
When the passport box is opened, it contains a certificate attached to the passport, described as a certificate of authenticity. It is presented as something similar to the certificates provided with watches and jewelry. The speaker then points out that the actual passport is included, emphasizing a redesign intended to better reflect the country and its stature.
The conversation turns to what is different about the redesign. The visible change described is that the passports have had the top and bottom swapped, with “the United States” moved to the top and the design described as more sophisticated. They also comment on scale, noting that the passport’s elements look small, implying that someone’s hands might be big.
The speaker clarifies that the only change so far is the top and bottom swap, and attributes the work to “national design studio people.” The speaker refers to the design passport as being shown and then notices red marks already on one passport, moving past that part.
They describe additional features that some people have not picked up yet. The speaker says that one thing that is not yet a feature will be added in the future: a QR code attached to each passport image. For the permanent passports, the QR code will lead to a video presentation tied to that specific moment in American history.
The speaker adds context for why this will be useful, saying that flights are often delayed and passengers may be bored, so they can use the QR code to access “key moments.” They also describe the QR code experience as prompting a video of what is “this moment in history,” and respond to questions about whether history is being erased, asking whether the Constitution still exists.

Speaker 0: there's more when you open it and when you open this passport box you will find that there's a certificate attached to it which is like a certificate of authenticity like we do with you know watches and stuff like that and jewelry but again it's something that we think a lot of people will tremendously value and well okay so wait the certificates are important with watches and jewelry for like resale value now so I'm sorry
Speaker 1: Is there a resale value with my passport? What is a certificate? Is the certificate the Constitution? Because otherwise I don't want it.
Speaker 0: And then, of course, there's the actual passport. If you'll notice, I'm not good at any of the aesthetic things, as you want you to know, but I value what this means. You see the redesign that I think more appropriately reflects our country and its stature. Whose passport is this? Because I'm about to open it.
Speaker 1: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What does that look like? Let's go back. Does that look all that different from...
Speaker 0: Reflects.
Speaker 1: Okay, so they swapped the passports now at the bottom and the United States is at the top and it looks more sophisticated. Also, is that really small or is his hands really big? His looks really small, does it not? Interesting.
Speaker 0: our country and yeah but to be just for clarity the only thing so far that they have swapped is just the the top and the bottom of can't with these guys stature national design studio people the great design passport is this because i'm about to open it is this yours oh there's red marks all over this already it's not good let me skip that part for a moment there's some features in here that a lot of people haven't picked up but you'll notice as you work through it what the one thing that's not a feature on this yet will but will be a future a feature in the future again i'm giving away you know a lot of great secrets but they'll actually be like a qr code attached to it so each one of these images that are on here and they'll be different for the permanent passports will have a qr code and when you go on that qr code it will prompt you to like a video presentation of that moment in american history
Speaker 1: and so what we're thinking is that because flights are so often delayed people are going to be bored out of their minds and they can go on the qr code and pull up these key moments nobody's gonna watch the government's qr code of uh here's what this time and hit what does that mean in this moment in history the qr code is going to show us what i mean you guys are erasing all of history as far as we know does the constitution still exist i mean for

The lesson from Israel is how much infrastructure can be built before the public can even see its shape. They sold the biometric database as safer passports. https://t.co/v8BqD7z56V
Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion claims that “beneath” the White House is a high-compute facility—a data center—and that the “reflecting pool project” may be part of the plumbing used to cool it. The speaker frames this as a claim supported by “a pretty big stack of evidence.”
The speaker says the first questions are why such a facility would be built under the White House and whether it could even be built there. As an example, they cite Israel’s biometric government database, described as storing parts of individuals’ bodies used as identity markers such as face and fingerprints. The speaker says Israel sold the system as safer passports and better ID cards by stopping fake documents, reducing identity theft, and making borders safer, while also describing it as an apparatus holding “every bit of you,” rather than a normal database at a passport office.
The speaker quotes Israel’s biometric database authority as stating the purpose is to ensure every person has one official identity—their “true identity”—and claims the database is kept in a physically secure facility monitored 24/7 with security procedures at every level commensurate with “top secret.” The speaker adds that the “clearest version” is set up underground in Jerusalem, describing it as involving a large underground data center built by Binet, and reporting that SeaTek reported it held government servers tied with the population registry database containing citizens’ biometric information.
The speaker states that Larry Ellison’s Oracle set up its Israel cloud region with Binet inside the Jerusalem site, and that Oracle is planning a second Israeli data center nine stories underground. They attribute this to Safra Katz, saying Israel needs a secure cloud.
They connect this to Ellison’s prior efforts, citing a 2002 New York Times opinion piece advocating copying government database information into a single national security database combined with biometrics (thumbprints, handprints, iris scans) to detect false identities.
The speaker says the focus is on the “back end” rather than the name of the infrastructure, and notes that Oracle is building a supercomputer called Solstice through the Genesis mission, described as a classified-capable supercomputer with over 100,000 Nvidia GPUs and allegedly “no clear permanent home,” leaving its eventual location unknown.
Finally, they link this back to the reflecting pool by arguing that a facility like this would have physical needs: power in and heat out, and that “one of the most practical ways to move heat is through water.”

Speaker 0: What I think is going on beneath it happens to be a high compute facility. aka a data center. And now I'm starting to think that the reflecting pool project is part of the plumbing to cool it. And I know that's a pretty big claim. But I have to tell you, I have a pretty big stack of evidence that's getting harder to ignore. But before we get to all of that, I think the first questions that come to people's minds are why would anybody want to build something like that under the White House? And could something like that even be built under the White House? Well, Israel has a great example, because Israel built a government biometric database, which means that parts of your body essentially are stored as your ID, like your face, your fingerprints, you know, the things you can't change about yourself if the system were to get abused, hacked, expanded, or turned against you. And they sold it to the public as safer passports and better ID cards, essentially. You know, stopping fake documents from getting made, stopping identity theft, making borders safer. But the passport is just the thing that you hold. The database is this whole apparatus that is holding every bit of you. Israel's own language says that the purpose is to make sure that every person has one official identity, that person's true identity. And so they're not treating the system like a normal database sitting at a passport office. Their own biometric database authority says that it is kept at a physically secure facility monitored 24-7 with security procedures at every level commiserate with top secret. And the clearest version of that is set up underground in Jerusalem. Binet built a huge underground data center and SeaTek reported that it held government servers tied with the population registry database, which contains all of the citizens' biometric information. Now, Larry Ellison's company, Oracle, set up its Israel cloud region with Binet inside that Jerusalem site. And the Israeli government is so pleased with their services that now Oracle is planning a second Israeli data center, nine stories underground, because as Oracle's other CEO, Safra Katz, put it, Israel needs a secure cloud. Now, this is nothing new. for Larry Ellison as he's wanted the American version of this for years now. As early as 2002, he wrote an opinion piece for the New York Times stating that information from government databases should be copied into a single national security database and combined with biometrics like thumbprints, handprints, and iris scans to detect false identities. Basically that if we had that before 9-11, it wouldn't have happened. Like, which is just not true because that's not how 9-11 happened. Like, it just doesn't make sense. So call it data center call it a secure cloud call it national security infrastructure a ballroom a shed call it whatever you want i'm calling this my vigilance okay because the name is not what matters most right now because they're not selling us the name yet They're building the back end of it. And it's worth noting that Oracle is already building a supercomputer called Solstice through the Genesis mission. And this is a classified capable supercomputer with over 100,000 Nvidia GPUs and allegedly no clear permanent home. So we have no idea where it's going to live. And so if this database facility, right, that's going to live underneath the ballroom is going to house something like, I don't know, a supercomputer made by Oracle, then this brings us back to the reflecting pool because a machine like that still has physical needs. I mean, it needs power going in and it needs heat coming out. And one of the most practical ways to move heat is through water.

NBC got spun off, and now I’m worried we’re one bad merger away from ‘Meet the Press’ becoming ‘Meet the Guy Who Bought the Press’ https://t.co/tR88cqnxY8
Video Transcript AI Summary
Speaker 0 says it has just announced it is spinning off NBC Universal, cutting loose NBC News, Peacock, Telemundo, and Universal Pictures into a standalone company. Speaker 0 is concerned about what a spinoff can mean—separating assets to make them easier to sell—and specifically points to Larry Ellison, Oracle billionaire and “Trump’s literal neighbor in Palm Beach,” as a person to worry about buying NBC. Speaker 0 is not claiming NBC is for sale or that Ellison is behind it, but notes that Ellison made a $111 billion bid for Warner Brothers Discovery, which includes HBO and CNN.
Speaker 0 says Ellison’s bid is backed by about $24 billion from three Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds: Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund, and Abu Dhabi’s Lamad Holdings Company, described as 40% of the equity in the merged company. Speaker 0 adds that Paramount filed with the FCC requesting a special waiver because foreign ownership in that deal would reach almost 50%, double the legal limit for broadcast license holders. Speaker 0 says Paramount would describe these investors as silent shareholders, but emphasizes that nobody spends $24 billion to stay silent.
Speaker 0 argues that NBC is in a vulnerable position: NBC carries real debt, Peacock is losing the streaming race to Netflix, and there is no corporate parent behind it once spun off. Speaker 0 also claims Comcast CEO Brian Roberts has had frequent trips to Saudi Arabia appear on his calendar, and says this can be found via Google.
Speaker 0 says there are “giveaways” to determine whether to increase concern, including who ends up on the NBC Universal board, because control is where the board sits. Speaker 0 says to watch Peacock subscriber numbers every quarter because a financially distressed NBC would be an easier acquisition target. Speaker 0 also says to watch the California AG’s lawsuit against the Ellison and Warner Brothers deal. Speaker 0 concludes that the regulatory environment is effectively a green light, foreign money is already present, and “we’ve seen this playbook before.”

Speaker 0: has just announced that it is spinning off NBC Universal, which means that NBC News, Peacock, Telemundo, Universal Pictures, all of that is getting cut loose and made to be its own standalone company. And this scares me a lot, like a whole lot, because we all know what a spinoff means, right? It's usually when a parent company is separating the assets to make them easier to sell. And there's one person I'm worried about buying NBC, Larry Ellison, Oracle billionaire, Larry Ellison, Trump's literal neighbor in Palm Beach as of this year, Larry Ellison. And just to be clear, I'm not saying that he is doing that or that NBC is even for sale. But what I am saying is that that didn't stop him from putting in a $111 billion bid on Warner Brothers Discovery, giving him HBO and CNN. It super sucks because Larry Ellison is not the only one backing that bid. It is also backed by around $24 billion of Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds. Three of them, to be exact. You've got Saudi Arabia's public investment fund, Qatar's sovereign wealth fund, and Abu Dhabi's Lamad Holdings Company, which I believe is 40% of the equity in the merged company? In fact, Paramount had to file with the FCC asking for a special waiver because foreign ownership in this case was going to hit almost 50%, which is double the legal limit for broadcast license holders. And Paramount will tell you that these are silent shareholders, but I have enough respect for you to tell you as someone who has covered money and power that nobody spends $24 billion on an investment like this just to stay silent. And now NBC carrying real debt with Peacock losing the streaming race to Netflix and no corporate parent company behind it is just floating free in that exact environment. And I'll tell you this, I was at an industry event earlier this year in DC and someone who works at Comcast told me that Brian Roberts, you know, their CEO, has been having these frequent trips pop up in his calendar to Saudi Arabia. Like, constantly. And look, I can't independently verify that. but I can independently Google that, and Google says the same thing. There are a few giveaways that will tell us whether or not we need to escalate our level of panic, which is who ends up on the NBC Universal Board because that's where the control actually lives. I'll be watching Peacock subscriber numbers every quarter because a financially distressed NBC is a far easier acquisition target. And we need to watch the California AG's lawsuit against the Ellis and Warner Brothers deal. We need to keep that loud, keep that at the forefront of our attention because it truly is the last real institutional check on this kind of power remaining. And right now, the regulatory environment is a green light and the foreign money is already in the room. We've seen this playbook before.

Follow the data far enough, it will always lead back to one man: Larry Ellison. https://t.co/eEwSoDBOUG
Video Transcript AI Summary
The records Joe Gebbia was trying to digitize were stored at Iron Mountain, about an hour north of Pittsburgh, in Boyers, Pennsylvania, where there is a limestone mine 220 feet underground. Since 1960, the federal government has used the mine as a retirement office. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) keeps about 450 employees working down there full-time alongside 26,000 file cabinets holding over 400 million paper records. The site processes about 10,000 federal retirements every month by hand.
A key point discussed is that the issue is not that technology has failed to digitize the records. Every administration since Reagan has tried to digitize the records, and the attempts failed for multiple reasons. The transcript says that doing it correctly, lawfully and with the Federal Office of Personnel’s required legal protections, is very expensive and politically contentious. It also claims that physical paperwork in a mine has a different level of protection than digitized paperwork.
The transcript then describes a strategy attributed to Joe Gebbia and his team at Doge: they began moving the records onto the digital infrastructure controlled by the White House. Rather than digitizing under legal guardrails, the transcript says they worked around the legal guardrails and “called it a day.”
The speaker describes an investigation into what Gebbia was doing with National Design Studio, saying they ran into roadblocks when trying to follow the money. The transcript states that the work appears to be done “off the books,” with no contracts on USAspending, the office not registered on SAM.gov as a federal procurement entity, and National Design Studio not technically existing.
When the speaker could not follow money, they say they followed the data instead, arguing that data leaves residual traces.
The transcript then connects this approach to what Larry Ellison’s company was doing over the prior decade. It describes Oracle running a network of tracking tools embedded across the internet to build “digital dossiers,” files containing very sensitive information about people, including where they lived, where they banked, what they bought, and political views, race, and other information. It says Ellison publicly claimed in 2015 that Oracle had dossiers on roughly 5 billion people. The transcript adds that Oracle was sued in federal court in 2022 for building those files without consent, and that in July 2024 Oracle settled for $115 million and shut the entire operation down.
The transcript concludes by stating that five months after Oracle’s dossier operation ended, Joe Gebbia joined Doge in the White House.

Speaker 0: And this is actually where it gets really interesting and connects a little bit to some of this East Wing ballroom underground bunker stuff. See, the records he was trying to digitize live in a place called Iron Mountain. About an hour north of Pittsburgh in a town called Boyers, Pennsylvania, there's a limestone mine 220 feet underground. And the federal government has been using this limestone mine as a retirement office since 1960. What do I mean by that? Well, the Office of Personnel Management, OPM, keeps 450 employees working down there full-time alongside 26,000 file cabinets holding over 400 million paper records processing about 10 000 federal retirements every month by hand and i know the first thought that comes into a lot of people's minds is why the hell do we have that like why do we still have physical paperwork for processing people's retirements and the reason is not because we technologically have not been able to digitize it i mean every administration since reagan has tried to digitize these records and every single one of them has failed for a multitude of reasons. It's because in order to do it correctly, meaning lawfully, you know, with the legal protections that the Federal Office of Personnel requires, is genuinely a very expensive thing to do, and it's politically very contentious. Because the reality is, is that physical paperwork in a mine has a different level of protection than digitized paperwork. And so Joe Gebbia and his team over at Doge said, we can do it, and they started to move these records onto the digital infrastructure that the White House now controls. Yeah, instead, they just worked around the legal guardrails and called it a day now i wanted to learn more about what he was doing with national design studio so i started this investigation like i do all of them by following the money except i hit immediate roadblocks because i remember that this is all being done off the books right just like doge did i mean there are no contracts on usa spending the office is not registered on sam.gov as a federal procurement entity the national design studio doesn't technically exist which is probably the point You know, because it was certainly the point with Doge, so I don't see why it would be any different here. And so I did what I always do when I can't follow the money. I followed the data instead. I promise you following the data is just as good as following the money and you can't cover it up as easily because data always leaves behind residual data. It leaves behind a little trail like dust on furniture that you think you just cleaned. And so when I was thinking through how I was going to follow the data for this investigation, that pattern recognition part of my brain started tingling, you know, because I remembered what Larry Ellison's company had been doing for the last decade. I remember reading about the time that Oracle ran this network of tracking tools that were embedded across the internet to build what they were calling digital dossiers. And basically they were these files of very sensitive information on people containing like where you lived, where you bank, what you buy, your political views, your race, like everything. And Oracle CEO Larry Ellison at one point in 2015 was even publicly bragging on stage claiming that the company had dossiers on roughly 5 billion people. And I go into these digital dossiers in more depth in another video which I recommend watching after this. But the TLDR is this. In 2022, Oracle got sued in federal court for building those files without consent. And in July of 2024, they had settled for $115 million and shut the entire operation down. But that operation was obviously valuable enough to Ellison that he ran it for over a decade and only quit when he was forced to. And so I just think it's, I don't know, funny timing that five months after Oracle exits the dossier business, Joe Gebbia joins Doge in the White House.

Video Transcript AI Summary
A discussion introduces the National Design Studio (NDS) as an office described as “one of the most dangerous offices in the White House,” characterized as building “a parallel federal government inside the executive branch on private infrastructure,” and staffed by people previously linked to legal action involving federal data.
The speaker notes that the TrumpRx federal prescription drug pricing website contains a footer line stating “designed and engineered in DC by National Design Studio” above the privacy policy. The speaker contrasts this with other federal websites, claiming they do not credit external design studios, and adds that the NDS name is hyperlinked to NDS’s website. The speaker says the TrumpRx site appears to have been created with Wix and widgets, and that the byline is “pretty weird because federal websites don’t have design bylines.”
The speaker describes the NDS website as startup-like, with mainly mission-statement language and recruiting copy, and no page listing team members or leadership. During “digging,” the speaker says they found Joe Gebbia as the key name associated with NDS and identifies him as the chief design officer of the United States working with NDS. The speaker states that Joe Gebbia is the co-founder of Airbnb, stepped back from Airbnb in 2022, and that in September 2022 Tesla appointed him to its board of directors to fill a seat vacated by Larry Ellison, founder and chairman of Oracle.
The speaker then ties Gebbia to a federal role: the speaker says that in August 2025 Donald Trump signed an executive order creating the National Design Studio and created the federal title “Chief Design Officer of the United States.” According to the speaker, Gebbia was named to that title on day one, and he reports directly to the White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. The speaker says this reporting structure is unusual.
The speaker claims NDS is staffed under a federal hiring authority called Section 3161, originally written for temporary advising bodies. The speaker asserts this means many people at NDS are “part-time advisor[s] or … volunteer[s],” which would result in them not appearing on the White House salary report and not filing financial disclosures. The speaker further claims NDS staff were not confirmed by the Senate and that they answer to no Inspector General because the Executive Office of the President does not have one.
The speaker compares this setup to “DOGE,” stating DOGE gutted federal agencies, fired tens of thousands of career civil servants, and is currently a defendant in multiple federal lawsuits. The speaker specifically mentions lawsuits alleging engineers gained access to Social Security data and Department of Homeland Security data and shared sensitive federal data with outside parties attempting to overturn elections.
The speaker then claims personal connection: the speaker says they found Joe Gebbia was a member of DOGE, that he spent six months there before his current position, and that one of the initiatives he personally led at DOGE was digitizing federal retirement paperwork. The speaker indicates this connects to “East Wing ballroom underground bunker stuff.”

Speaker 1: He runs one of the most dangerous offices in the White House right now, and it's called the National Design Studio. Yeah, this is what I like to call DEFCON 1 territory, okay? Because what I believe they are doing is building a parallel federal government inside the executive branch on private infrastructure. And it is all being built by the same people who got sued the last time they touched any federal data. So earlier this week, I was perusing TrumpRx, right, as one does, the new federal prescription drug pricing website. I was curious. I just wanted to see what they had going on. So I was scrolling around, and at the bottom of the page, I noticed something that I have not noticed on any other federal website. In the footer of the page, it said, right above the privacy policy, designed and engineered in DC by National Design Studio. The whole website, by the way, looks like it was created on Wix with widgets and it's bizarre. But that line in particular is pretty weird because federal websites don't have design bylines. I mean, the IRS does not credit the design studio for that website. Neither does social security or the FBI. Nobody does that with federal government websites. Moreover, the Design Studio is hyperlinked to it. So when you click on it, it takes you to the National Design Studio's website, which I don't love, and in a minute, you're gonna see why. Now National Design Studio, which I'll be referring to as NDS throughout this video, reads more like a tech startup than anything else. And the site itself doesn't really tell you much beyond the mission statement language and recruiting copy. Like it's very boilerplate and very in your face with how hip and cool it is. You know, very Silicon Valley. And there was no page telling you about who was on the team or who was running it. So I had to do a little digging and the first name that came back to me was somebody named Joe Gebbia. He is known as the chief design officer of the United States working with NDS. Now you probably have never heard of Joe Gebbia. Lord knows I hadn't before this. But fear not, he's the co-founder of Airbnb. So you know, if anybody knows how to improve public spaces, it's the company that took residential spaces and made sure the public could never actually afford them again. He stepped back from Airbnb in 2022, but it's the years since then and now that really interest me. Because in September of 2022, Tesla appointed him to their board of directors. Yes, in fact, the seat he took had just been vacated by Larry Ellison, Yes, that Larry Ellison, the founder and chairman of Oracle. And hold on to old Larry Berry and Oracle in the back of your head, okay? Because this is going to come back up in a moment. Then in August of 2025, Donald Trump signed an executive order creating a brand new federal office called the National Design Studio. This is also when he created the brand new federal title to go with it, the Chief Design Officer of the United States. And Joe Gebbia was named that title on day one, and he reports directly to the White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles. Which is bizarre. Right? I mean, a National Design Studio reporting to the White House Chief of Staff, like that's not how this works. Why is it working like that? Well, it's because the National Design Studio is staffed under a federal hiring authority called Section 3161, which was originally written for temporary advising bodies. And since they're working under that authority, that means almost everyone working at the National Design Studio is either a part-time advisor or a volunteer. You know how billionaires like to volunteer their time for federal design agencies. And so they don't show up on the White House salary report, nor do they file any financial disclosures that the public who has a financial stake in what they're doing can see. They were also not confirmed by the Senate and they answer to no Inspector General because the Executive Office of the President does not have one. Well, where have I heard this before. See a brand new office inside the White House staffed by people who are invisible to the federal disclosure process answering to no independent oversight. Where have I heard that before? Oh, that's right. Because that's exactly how Doge was run. And Doge, lest we forget, in its very short, very horrific run, gutted federal agencies, fired tens of thousands of career civil servants, and is currently the defendant in multiple federal lawsuits. And more specifically, those lawsuits are for letting engineers access social security data and the Department of Homeland Security data and share that sensitive federal data with outside parties trying to overturn elections. That.
Speaker 0: Oh, and what do you know?
Speaker 1: I found in my investigation that Joe Gabbia was also a member of Doge.
Speaker 0: Yep, he spent a whole six months there before his current position.
Speaker 1: And one of the initiatives that he personally led at Doge was the digitization of the federal retirement paperwork. And this is actually where it gets really interesting and connects a little bit to some of this East Wing ballroom underground bunker stuff.

I see “Dialog” as accountability being swapped for exposure. Leaks and names only count as accountability if people with power can and do act; if nothing changes, it becomes mere content. The audience is trained to treat the feeling-outrage loop as the end. The result is exhaustion, engagement, and real powerlessness, with media designed to keep the gap between information and action wide.
@thedreydossier - Drey
The Dialog story is the epitome of accountability being replaced by exposure. Exposure feels like accountability, sure. You’ve got names, leaked documents, and secret networks- but it only is accountability if someone with power to act on it actually does. When nobody acts, when nothing changes, exposure is just content. And the audience has been trained to experience the exposure itself as the resolution. You saw the list. You felt the outrage. Story complete. The fact that nothing happened doesn’t register as a failure because the consumption loop already closed. What that produces is a population that is genuinely exhausted, genuinely engaged, and genuinely powerless because every story is framed as something to feel about rather than something to understand well enough to act on. The gap between information and action has never been wider, and the media ecosystem is almost perfectly designed to keep it that way.
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker argues that coverage of a “Peter Thiel social network story” is wasting attention. They say the story is a list of rich people who know each other and paid large amounts to attend the same conferences, allegedly carelessly left in the front end of someone’s website code. The information is described as not hacked, sourced from two anonymous sources, and released without the methodology of how it was found, so it should be treated with a large grain of salt. The speaker insists the story does not affect the audience and says it does not change how power works, offering “no” answers to whether it impacts anything, whether anything can be done with it, or whether it changes power.
They contend that news incentives have shifted so that making people feel informed is decoupled from the obligation to actually inform them. They argue accountability has been replaced by exposure—leaked documents, names, and “secret networks”—but only if someone with power acts; when no one acts, exposure becomes content. They say this produces a population that is exhausted, engaged, and powerless, consuming lists like a “scoreboard of names” rather than actionable information.
The speaker contrasts this with a different story they consider important: the Trump administration shifting over $352 million of federal funds from the treasury to the “ballroom,” bringing the total to a $600 million ballroom. They describe it as covering a military apparatus almost certainly intended to surveil the public. They add that Palantir, Peter Thiel’s company discussed in the earlier conversation, is said to be central to the military apparatus beneath the ballroom. They argue that discussion of the ballroom on social media gets reduced to “grift” or conspiracy jokes instead of being treated with the severity they claim is involved.
They conclude that the ballroom will “touch every single person in this country” every day for the rest of their lives and that the time to ask questions is closing. They emphasize that attention is the last thing the audience owns outright and urge viewers to act.

Speaker 0: I do not care about the dialogue Peter Thiel social network story and honestly neither should you and I am not usually in the business of telling people what they should and shouldn't care about but I'm going to make a special exception this time because what is going on with this coverage? I feel like I am losing my mind here. Our attention is just about the only thing that we have left that holds immense value and it just pains me to watch people spend it on stories like this that I don't even understand what the story is. You guys, it is a list of rich people who all happen to know each other, who all happen to pay absurd amounts of money to go to the same conferences that was carelessly left on the front end of the code of somebody's website. That is what this is. Like, it's not a hack. Nobody hacktivists their way to this information. In fact, it was sourced from two anonymous sources and without the methodology of how they found it. And with any story like that, I'm sorry, take it with a huge grain of salt, okay? Because this does not affect you. It doesn't. This story of these billionaires who are all kind of gross knowing each other is just a Tuesday. It is stories like this, in my opinion, that is everything wrong with the consumption of news today. I don't know when this happened, but at some point, the incentive to make you feel informed decoupled from the obligation to actually inform you. You know? And then, as a consequence of that, accountability all of a sudden was replaced by exposure. And exposure feels like accountability, you know, names, leaked documents, and these secret networks, but only if someone with power to act on it actually does. And when nobody acts, nothing changes, and exposure is just content. And the result of what all of that produces is a population that is genuinely exhausted, genuinely engaged, and genuinely powerless. a list like this without fail every time always gets consumed as this scoreboard of names you know not as any information that you can actually act on and look the test i run any story through before i decide if i'm going to pay any modicum of attention to it is asking does this affect anything Can you do anything with this information? And does it change how power works? Dialogue answers no, no, and no to all of them. And yet here we are still bleeding attention to a freaking guest list. You know what does check all of those boxes? A story that drops the same day as the dialogue story, okay? It is the fact that the Trump administration has shifted over $352 million of federal funds from the treasury over to the ballroom. That's right, we are now at a $600 million ballroom, sorry, shed that is covered covering a military apparatus that is almost certainly going to be used to surveil you. And Palantir, you know, Peter Thiel's company that everybody's talking about right now in the dialogue conversation, they are the ones that are going to be the center of that military apparatus underneath the ballroom. This is probably the most important story of the century, if I'm being honest. Yet anytime anybody is talking about the ballroom, especially on social media, it either gets simplified down to being a grift or a conspiracy theory, or people make the joke that it's a ballroom or whatever, but it does not get taken with the weight and severity that actually is underneath it, quite literally, because the ballroom is going to touch every single person in this country. And I mean that every single day for the rest of your lives. And the only window we have to ask any questions about what is going on down there is right now, and that window is closing. Like I said, your attention is the last thing that you still own outright. So for the love of God, act like it.

I swear to God, if I hear the word “shed” one more time. The FBI announced a terror plot today tied to UFC Freedom 250, with 18 suspects still unidentified. Completely unrelated, Oracle has a defense AI summit in 9 days, where it will pitch the exact surveillance tools that would find them.
Video Transcript AI Summary
Speaker 1 says a case described by the FBI shows a group moving from being “strangers on TikTok” to “operational planning within three months” on a combined total budget of $1,300. Speaker 1 says the FBI found out about the plot on June 10 and had it “wrapped up within four days,” calling it “a good OSINT puzzle” that is “perfectly wrapped.”
Speaker 1 then summarizes the FBI announcement: the FBI “thwarted this attack” at the UFC Freedom 250 match at the White House that took place over the past weekend, which Speaker 1 says kicked off the country’s 250th anniversary celebrations.
According to Speaker 1’s description of the FBI case filings released that day, a group calling themselves the Vanguard of the Old found each other on TikTok in March. Speaker 1 says they then moved into encrypted messaging apps including Signal and Telegram and were allegedly planning a coordinated attack targeting government officials and wealthy attendees. Speaker 1 also says the FBI chose to unseal the documents, and that Kash Patel was praised on the record for the FBI’s “rapid response.” Speaker 1 notes Kash Patel was “sitting front row” at the event while taking credit for protection of the weekend.
Speaker 1 says the grievances listed in the court documents allege they are anti-government, anti-APAC, anti-capitalist elites, and anti-data centers, described as “fringe beliefs of a minor few.” Speaker 1 adds that these grievances are “things that millions of people are openly talking about” online and that they have been listed as motivations in a single federal terror case.
Speaker 1 says an Eskridge affidavit includes a statement that Eskridge was preparing his residence “to be a safe house and making a bunker under the floorboards of his shed,” and Speaker 1 remarks that only one other person had used the word “shed” in a similar context. Speaker 1 then provides a parallel described by Speaker 0 about a “massive underground complex” under a military construction ballroom, where the ballroom becomes a “shed” for what is being built under the military, including “from drones.”
Speaker 1 says if the government needed to work the case quickly, it would need “a pretty serious tech stack,” including tools to scrape TikTok content, analyze seized phones, identify “18 unknown people” from encrypted chat fragments, and enable intelligence sharing across four states’ agencies. Speaker 1 then references Oracle and Eris Labs, saying Oracle partnered with an AI company called Eris Labs that “turns user-generated content into searchable military intelligence,” and that Oracle announced the partnership on June 4, about six days before the FBI discovered the plot. Speaker 1 says Oracle would bring the tech stack to a Defense Tech Summit in Brussels on June 25.
Speaker 1 concludes by saying there are still 18 suspects at large and that the “sales pitch starts on June 25,” adding that it will be seen which gets resolved first.

Speaker 1: Okay, so let me get this straight. A group went from being strangers on TikTok to operational planning within three months on a combined total budget of $1,300, and the FBI found out about this on June 10th and then had it wrapped up within four days? Well, come on, you don't think I know a good OSINT puzzle when I see one? And they don't come more perfectly wrapped than this.
Speaker 0: So let's play.
Speaker 1: So the FBI announced today that they thwarted this attack at the UFC Freedom 250 match that was at the White House this past weekend. Keep in mind that this was the event that kicked off the country's 250th anniversary celebrations. Now, according to the case filings that were released by the FBI today, a group calling themselves the Vanguard of the Old had found each other on TikTok back in March. And they had then moved into these encrypted messaging apps like Signal and Telegram and were allegedly planning a coordinated attack targeting government officials and wealthy attendees. Yeah, and instead of keeping quiet, you know, so the remaining 18 on the loose don't run, the FBI has decided to unseal everything today, and Kash Patel went on the record praising the FBI's rapid response. The same Kash Patel that was sitting front row at the event that he is now taking credit for protecting this last weekend? Sure. And it's worth noting that the grievances in these court cases are documents alleging that they are all anti-government, anti-APAC, anti-capitalist elites, anti-data centers. You know, just the fringe beliefs of a minor few connecting them together. I mean, these are all things that millions of people are openly talking about on the internet and organizing around literally every day. Now they've all been listed as motivations in a single federal terror case. Oh, and speaking of sharing uncommon words and phrases, get this. According to the Eskridge affidavit, he was preparing his residence, quote, to be a safe house and making a bunker under the floorboards of his shed, end quote. Now, there is only one other person that I have ever heard use the word shed used in this very particular context before. And it is.
Speaker 0: Recently, because of a stupid lawsuit that was filed with the military's building gate, massive complex under the ballroom and that's under construction and we're doing very well. So we're ahead of schedule, that's part of it. And the ballroom essentially becomes a shed for what's being built under the military, including from drones and including from any other thing.
Speaker 1: Okay, we don't have time for you. Shed. And so it's interesting the parallels, right, of this complex, this massive underground complex that's got drone-proof glass and is built to be retardant from drones and protect against that very threat just at the exact location of where this drone plot just showed up from this other guy who also has a shed that's covering his underground bunker. Here's where my brain goes as an OSINT journalist. If you wanted to work this case quickly for the government, you would need a pretty serious tech stack in order to help you do that. Something that's going to help you scrape TikTok content, something that can help you analyze seized phones, something that maybe can identify 18 unknown people from encrypted chat fragments, something that lets four states' worth of agencies share intelligence. You know, something like, I don't know, Oracle's new defense ecosystem that I reported on two videos ago? The company that holds all of TikTok's user data has just partnered with an AI company that turns user-generated content into searchable military intelligence. The company is called Eris Labs, and what they say they do versus what they're capable of doing
Speaker 0: are two very different things.
Speaker 1: Mind you, Oracle announced this partnership on June 4th, about six days before the FBI discovered this plot. And Oracle is also going to be bringing all of this tech stack to its Defense Tech Summit in Brussels on June 25th. You know, the place where military buyers and intelligence officials decide what to purchase for their governments. And so remember, folks, the only thing more useful to the government than a surveillance tool is a reason to use one. And there are still 18 suspects at large and the sales pitch starts on June 25th. So I guess we'll see which one gets resolved first, won't we?

He moved to Texas, and it became harder to track him because he stopped using his own name and instead used the name of his personal money manager, Jared Burchall. Accession LLC is described as one of Elon Musk’s main LLCs, acting as his family office that organizes his money, with Musk’s name not appearing on the document.
The other speaker described this as a “crazy story” from The New York Times about Elon Musk’s sprawling multi-company shell network in Texas, noting they had reported on it in November of the prior year. They said they thought the owner of a Texas property in Austin would have to pay taxes, so they checked the Texas Comptroller’s website for Riverbottoms Ranch LLC. They reported that the name Jared Burchall appeared as president. They said Burchall runs Accession LLC, described as Elon Musk’s family office, and that he manages Musk’s personal fortune and handles paperwork when Musk does not want his name directly on something.
The speaker also connected the reporting to a separate question about Neuralink building a 112,000 square foot clean room manufacturing space despite having only two implanted patients at the time. That concern led them to check LinkedIn hiring and find job postings for OR nurses and neurosurgical PAs, described as roles for actual operating rooms rather than preclinical or animal research work. They said that, for a Texas facility not showing up on any clinical trial site, it appeared to be “a farm” where such work was occurring.
They concluded by saying the experience reflects how people doing independent work can feel others hedging against them or speculating because they lack institutional backing. They noted that seeing The New York Times report on it in February, after their own November reporting, reminded them that work can be done independently as well. They said they hoped their reporting helped The New York Times and compared their contribution to building blocks that come together to reveal the full picture.

Speaker 0: He moved to Texas. It started getting a bit harder to track. That's because he stopped using his name quite so much and instead started using the name of his personal money manager, Jared Burchall. Accession LLC is one of Elon Musk's main LLCs because it's his family office, which is actually organizing his money. But Elon Musk's name isn't on this document.
Speaker 1: This is a crazy story the New York Times put out about Elon Musk's sprawling multi-company shell network that he's building out in Texas. And I should know because I reported on it in November of last year.
Speaker 0: Thinking to myself, well, whoever owns this property in Austin, Texas is going to have to pay taxes on it.
Speaker 1: And tax filings are usually public or at least accessible. So I went over to the Texas Comptroller's website and I typed in Riverbottoms Ranch LLC. And whose name do you think popped up? Jared Burchall, under president. I'm sorry, Jared freaking Burchall, president? Do you guys know who this guy is? He runs Accession LLC, which is basically Elon Musk's family office.
Speaker 0: This is the guy who manages all of Musk's personal fortune, who handles, I guess, all the paperwork when Musk doesn't want to put his name directly on something.
Speaker 1: And a little peek behind the curtain on my pro I had found this because I was trying to answer one very basic question, which was why was Neuralink building a 112,000 square foot clean room manufacturing space when they only had two patients who they had implanted these chips at the time. That made me nervous enough to want to go check LinkedIn to see what kind of hiring they'd been doing lately. And that's when I found these. job postings for OR nurses and for neurosurgical PAs. Not preclinical roles, not animal research testing, but like actual people who work in actual operating rooms. Mind you, for a facility in Texas that doesn't show up on any clinical trial site, it's a farm essentially that that's happening on. So that's what took me to Texas. I share this to say that I think anybody who does independent work in any capacity, I think knows the feeling of people constantly hedging their bets against you or speculating against you just because you don't have that institution behind you. And seeing that the New York Times had reported on this in February of this year, and I'd reported on it back in November of last year, just reminded me that it's not only institutions that can do this work. Like we can do it too, and we should do it. And I genuinely hope that my reporting helped the New York Times in any capacity. Like what an honor to be like a building block of someone else's journalism, because that's what this is. It's just a bunch of building blocks that we're all, you know, putting on top of each other to see what this house is. And as our girl, Charlie XCX would say, I think I'm going to die in this house.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The transcript claims that Eris Labs, described as the company holding “all of TikTok’s user data,” partnered with an AI company that converts user-generated content into “searchable military intelligence.” The transcript says Eris Labs and this partnership were described in a June 4 post on Oracle’s blog, and that Oracle is “the other company” involved. It further states that Eris Labs and Oracle began working together “a little over a year ago,” and that Eris Labs has been operating “in stealth for a little over two and a half years,” making the exact start date of any work with Larry Ellison or the American government unclear. The transcript says Eris Labs is operating out of Washington, DC.
It describes Eris Labs as headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, with “most of their team and all of their R&D out of there,” and notes that “three of their founders are veterans of Israeli intelligence.” The transcript says Amos Lahav spent “nineteen years running operations out of the Israeli Prime Minister's office,” and that the year he left that job he started Eris.
The transcript says Eris Labs markets itself as a military software company that “processes battlefield footage,” which Oracle’s blog calls “Accelerating Media Exploitation.” It asserts that this same technology could be used to identify individuals in TikTok videos taken from a protest live stream, stating that the tool could produce identification of “every- single person in it,” depending on the query.
The transcript says Oracle’s blog post includes content about domestic threats, claiming “Domestic terriers pose a significant threat to the US according to the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security,” and that domestic terriers “often use online platforms such as social media and gaming to communicate radical ideas” and “mobilize” people. It then quotes a separate Israeli newspaper interview in which Eris Labs’ CEO is said to have stated that after the October 7th attacks, they began “extracting intelligence from even TikTok videos.”
The transcript emphasizes timing, stating that the White House signed an executive order giving Oracle custody of TikTok on September 25, 2025, and that “18 days later,” on October 13, 2025, Oracle added Harris Labs to their defense ecosystem. It claims this supports the view that Oracle is a “national security threat,” adding that defense contractors of Oracle’s size “shouldn't be allowed to invest in media properties,” while stating that a law is not in place.
The transcript also references statements attributed to Larry Ellison about citizens being on “their best behavior” because they are “constantly recording and reporting,” and links Ellison’s investments to control of media outlets via “Oracle stocks” to buy CNN and CBS, then concluding by describing a scenario where one family holds “one hand on the surveillance infrastructure” and another holds a social media platform. It ends by claiming that “so is Eris” and instructs viewers on TikTok to “share accordingly.”

The company that holds all of TikTok's user data has just partnered with an AI company that turns user-generated content into searchable military intelligence. The company is called Eris Labs, and what they say they do versus what they're capable of doing are two very different things. And I say just partnered with because this was posted on June 4th on Oracle's blog. Oracle is the other company, by the way. But they actually started working with Oracle a little over a year ago, at the very least that we know of. And what I find interesting is that they've- They've been operating in stealth for a little over two and a half years, so we can't really say for certain when they started working, I guess, with Larry Ellison or the American government, but we do know now that they are operating out of Washington, DC, I suppose. And while operating in stealth is, I guess, kind of normal for tech companies, I really find it disconcerting whenever there's an Oracle element involved, you know? Because defense companies that operate alongside Oracle tend to have a certain, I don't know, je ne sais quoi about them. The first day they went public, was their first post on LinkedIn, which is awfully patriotic, especially for a company that's headquartered out of Tel Aviv, Israel, with most of their team and all of their R&D out of there. Three of their founders are veterans of Israeli intelligence, with Amos Lahav spending nineteen years running operations out of the Israeli Prime Minister's office. In the same year that he left that job, he started Eris. Now they market themselves as a military software company that processes battlefield footage, mean Oracle's blog calls it themselves, "Accelerating Media Exploitation." But what that can also look like is somebody using TikTok to, I don't know, take a live stream of a protest, and then Eris later on using AI to identify every- single person in it. You know, it's the same tool, same technology, just a different query. But Ray, they're not gonna use it to do that, really? Well, then why was this linked in the footnote of Oracle's blog post? Let's read this together. Domestic terriers pose a significant threat to the US according to the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. Domestic terriers often use online platforms such as social media and gaming to communicate radical ideas to a wide audience and mobilize like-minded people. Sorry. And their CEO says it even more plainly than that, because I found an Israeli newspaper that he gave an interview to, and he said verbatim that after the October 7th attacks, that they began extracting intelligence from even TikTok videos. And the timing is worth noting here, okay? Because the White House signed the executive order giving Oracle custody of TikTok on September 25th, 2025, and I believe it was 18 days later, on October 13th, 2025, that Oracle then added Harris Labs to their defense ecosystem. This is what I mean, by the way, when I say that Oracle is a national security threat, okay? Because defense contractors of that size shouldn't be allowed to invest in media properties of this size or any size, and I don't know why that's not a law yet, but holy crap, it should be. Because people like Larry Ellison, who invest and build companies like Oracle, say things like this. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on. And it's un- it's unimpeachable. This is the same man whose son now controls CNN and CBS, thanks to Daddy leveraging his Oracle stocks to buy him those newsrooms. So now it's one family with one hand on the surveillance infrastructure and trying to privatize America, and the other on a social media platform, and I don't know, a foot in the newsroom. And if you're watching this on TikTok, oop, you won't be for long, because so is Eris. So, share accordingly.

I’m working on a parallel dot-gov website investigation, and honestly I’m baffled by what I’m finding: every thread leads to more sites, acronyms, and code I didn’t expect. I’ve made calls to federal agencies to understand what’s known at the executive level, so I haven’t posted yet. I’m preparing a first live next week and part two is coming soon.
@thedreydossier - Drey
Quick update on the parallel [dot]gov website investigation: I want to say this professionally… but what in the federal Russian nesting doll is going on here?? I wish I could tell you this got clearer the more I dug, but every thread I pull leads to five new websites, a new acronym, and a weird string of code I now have beef with. It’s also led me to make some phone calls to different federal agencies to see how much the government actually knows about what’s happening at the executive-branch level and, well… my face in this outtake kind of says it all. So that’s why I haven’t posted the investigation yet this week. I’m taking a little extra time with this one to make sure I’m connecting the dots responsibly, being as thorough as possible, and turning a very dense, and honestly pretty alarming, set of findings into something clear enough for people to actually follow. I appreciate your patience (because Lord knows mine left the building about three phone calls ago). I’m also planning my first live next week as a companion piece to this investigation. A casual deeper dive on the deep dive, talking through some of the evidence that didn’t make it in the video. I’m still figuring out the best day and time; trying not to overlap with Candice, Baron, or other creators a lot of you also watch. So drop suggestions below if you have a preference! Regrettably, there is more. Part two coming soon.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The discussion argues that the media has been focused on “the wrong billionaires” regarding a potential TikTok buyer, pointing to a Tuesday moment when Donald Trump was asked if he would consider letting Elon Musk buy TikTok. Trump responded that he would “really consider Larry Ellison.”
The transcript proposes an “entirely different strategy.” It claims Zuckerberg “was never up for consideration” for TikTok, arguing that if Meta acquired TikTok it would have “way too many antitrust issues,” and that Trump “doesn’t trust him” or his loyalty. It characterizes Elon Musk as “the agent of chaos,” distracting attention with “drama and pageantry.” It describes Trump as “our queen,” “the salesman” orchestrating deals by allowing distraction from “shiny objects,” while pitching Larry Ellison as the next buyer.
It states that Ellison has a strong position because Oracle already stores “a lot of TikTok’s data,” and because Oracle “basically controls the cloud,” described as infrastructure “that holds all of our data.” The transcript further notes that Larry Ellison bought his son David Ellison’s Paramount Pictures in the prior year, portraying it as Paramount stepping up with “the majority of the money,” with David running day-to-day operations, and the merger of Skydance.
A key claim is that Ellison is “particularly dangerous” compared with Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk because Ellison “doesn’t crave attention,” but “understands how powerful attention is.” It says TikTok is “the most powerful social media engine to shape public opinion and narrative,” so owning TikTok would mean owning substantial influence over public narrative.
The transcript argues that Hollywood PR professionals are struggling to control narratives in real time, and asks the audience to imagine Ellison owning TikTok while already owning data and major media assets, including “Paramount Pictures and all their IP,” with examples given such as “CNN, et cetera.” It frames this as the source of “monopoly,” not only in technology but in how tech interacts with government, wields influence, and creates “a new kind of monopolistic power.”
It concludes that the central question is not whether Ellison is a better buyer than Zuckerberg or Musk, but why any of these individuals are allowed to wield so much power, calling the situation an “absolutely deplorable” representation of government.

I think we're watching the wrong billionaires. I realized this on Tuesday when Donald Trump was asked if he'd consider letting Elon Musk buy TikTok, and he said, "Like, yeah, sure, whatever, but I would really consider Larry Ellison." I feel like that moment told us everything that we need to know. In fact, I think there's an entirely different strategy going on here that nobody's considering, and I would like to explain it. Zuckerberg was never- Actually up for consideration for TikTok. I think Meta acquiring TikTok would have way too many antitrust issues, and honestly, I think at the end of the day, Donald Trump doesn't trust him. Like, I don't think he truly trusts his loyalty. Then we've got Elon Musk, the agent of chaos. He is doing what he does best, which is distracting everybody, grabbing headlines with all of his drama and pageantry. Then you've got Donald Trump, our queen. Yes, he's the most versatile, he's dynamic, but he doesn't work alone. He's the salesman of it Orchestrating the deals, he's, he's letting us be distracted by the shiny objects. Meanwhile, he's pitching Larry Ellison to be the next buyer of TikTok, and it sounds like it's probably- Probably a pretty high possibility considering Larry Ellison owns Oracle, which already is storing a lot of TikTok's data. See, Ellison isn't a household name, but that's exactly how he likes it. His company that he co-founded, Oracle, basically controls the cloud. It's the infrastructure that holds all of our data. It's basically a cloud filled with gold, and it's the only cloud I've ever heard of that rains for just one man. He also bought his son, David Ellison, Paramount Pictures last year. For those of us in Hollywood, this was like a huge story. Paramount Pictures sold Larry Stepped up, put up a majority of the money, and was like, "David, you'll run it, I'll be behind the scenes, and you can do the day to day running of it," and they merged Skydance over. See, what makes Larry Ellison particularly dangerous in comparison to Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk is that Larry Ellison doesn't crave attention, but he understands how powerful attention is. TikTok is the most powerful social media engine to shape public opinion and narrative. I mean, owning TikTok would be owning a lot of power. We are Seeing in real time how these Hollywood PR professionals are having a hard time orchestrating narrative and taking control of the storylines that are going on. Now, imagine being Larry Ellison, who already owns all of your data and already owns Paramount Pictures and all their IP and like all the assets that come with it, like CNN, et cetera, and now owning TikTok. You see where the monopoly comes in here? This isn't just about tech, it's about how tech interacts with the government and how it wields influence and how it creates- This new kind of monopolistic power. And to me, the question isn't about whether or not Larry Ellison is a better choice to buy TikTok than Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk, right? The question is, why are we letting any of these people wield so much power? To be quite blunt, this kind of opportunity even being presented to him is absolutely deplorable. It is a deplorable representation of government. It just makes me laugh that Mark Zuckerberg's the bishop, and he can only just run sideways and that's hilarious to me.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker argues that they have a “designated First Amendment zone” and rejects being told otherwise, referencing six years of a broken back, one deployment to the Middle East, and “three friends” lost in service to the country. They connect current debates about war with Iran and “bringing back potentially a draft” to the idea that defending what the country stands for includes “a free press.” They question how the country can ask a nineteen-year-old to die for the Constitution while “selling off, you know, parts of the American press to countries that throw their own journalists in,” noting this as “the quiet part out loud.”
They say there are soldiers abroad defending the Constitution and that, at home, Republican senators are refusing to uphold the Constitution. They then address a “merger to bring it all back,” citing a Secretary of Defense who characterizes “the fake news” as writing the truth and says, “I cannot wait until the Ellicons control CNN,” stating that such comments “should be send a chill to—To everybody.” The speaker also reports speaking with journalists who were in town for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and says journalists believe the First Amendment is facing some of the biggest assaults they’ve seen.
They list examples they say demonstrate these assaults: “sixty minutes” being stopped from publishing something; CBS and “what’s happening with Stephen Colbert”; settlements after settlements granted to Donald Trump on “bogus claims” for defamation; and what the speaker describes as the White House doing what they say Erdogan does in Turkey and what other “would-be dictators like Putin” have tried to do—“try to render take control of… the press and the media.”

I mean, that's my designated First Amendment zone. Get the fuck out of here. You know what I'm talking, you laughed at me. Do you understand what I'm talking about? Six years of broken back, one deployment to the Middle East, three friends lost in service to this fucking country. You gonna tell me that's my... First Amendment zone with this conversation of being at war with Iran right now and even this conversation of bringing back potentially a draft, you know, we're gonna, we're potentially gonna be asking men and women to be risking their lives to defend what this country stands for, and one of those things that this country stands for is a free press. And so I guess something that I am wondering is how do we ask a nineteen-year-old to die for the Constitution when we're selling off, you know, parts of the American press to countries that throw their own journalists in? They're saying, they're saying the quiet part out loud. we have soldiers, as you said, sworn oaths to the Constitution, defending the Constitution abroad. We have at home senators, Republican senators, who are refusing to uphold the Constitution. But the point that you're saying is about this merger to bring it all back, is you have a Secretary of Defense who's saying, "Hey, the fake news is writing the truth basically about this war. I cannot wait until the Ellicons control CNN." And, and that should be send a chill to- To everybody, and I will tell you this, I talked to a lot of journalists that were in town for the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and obviously all of us find that, the violence there grievous. But the thing that I heard from journalists themselves was they think that this is one of the times that the First Amendment is facing some of the biggest assaults we're seeing this with sixty minutes being stopped from publishing something. We've seen this with CBS and, and what's happening with Stephen Colbert. We're seeing this with a settlement after settlement given to Donald Trump on his bogus claims, legal claims for defamation. We're really seeing this, this White House do what we've seen Erdogan do in Turkey, we're seeing him do what other would-be dictators like Putin have tried to do when it comes to one of the first things they do is try to render take control of, of the press and the media

If you have not had the profound misfortune of visiting TrumpRx, it is a federal drug pricing website that looks like Wix and a Pinterest board threw up on each other. There’s a gold 3D eagle, there are pills floating across the screen, with the tagline “TrumpRx the price,” which is unfortunately not satire. It has the typography of a Brooklyn juice bar and the self-regard of a man who has never been told no. It is, in every conceivable aesthetic sense, a catastrophe. But that’s almost the point.

Oracle Health is tied to major health infrastructure and also serves defense, intelligence, immigration, and policing. We asked what prevents its data/AI outputs from informing those uses, but got silence and comment shutdowns. We now demand Oracle publish a written firewall guarantee.
@thedreydossier - Drey
(1/) Hey X! I wanted to introduce you to something I’ve been working on over on Linkedin/Reddit called #WhereIsTheFirewall. It is about Oracle Health, patient data, AI, and one very normal request: if a company is trusted with medical records, patients deserve to know where the walls are. (See video from early April below) 🧵
Video Transcript AI Summary
On March 31, Oracle announced an AI platform for the United States government that combines civilian agency data and defense agency data to enable mission-critical decisions at scale. The platform is intended to unify critical information across civilian and defense agencies to reduce information silos and speed up decisions, including making both types of data accessible on the same platform so AI tools can reach both and cross-pollinate.
The speaker describes this as “not good at all,” pointing to China’s “military civil fusion” approach. Starting in 2017, China built a system—described as developed with help from Larry Ellison—where hospitals, tech companies, and universities made their civilian data available to the People’s Liberation Army, blending civilian life and military operations. The speaker says the idea is that the government, through the military, has ownership over infrastructure and information, and references the U.S. efforts to draw a line against this kind of integration, including sanctions and bans tied to Huawei and TikTok.
The speaker emphasizes a principle of keeping military and civilian spheres separate, linking it to the Third Amendment and the prohibition on quartering soldiers in a civilian’s home. They argue that when an American company announces a platform that unifies civilian and military data under one government AI system, it should be addressed.
The speaker claims Oracle is already working to unify this kind of data: Medicare and Medicaid data are moving to Oracle’s platforms, described as health records of tens of millions of Americans. The speaker also states Oracle holds Air Force, intelligence community, and defense agency contracts, and says there is currently no law requiring that those data streams stay separate—no firewall or rule in place—beyond Oracle’s own policies.
The speaker proposes that separation needs to be required by law, but argues Congress will not act if it is only asked politely. They say Congress listens more to the health care industry and hospital systems, and they single out HIPAA compliance risk as a key pressure point. Under HIPAA, hospitals are responsible for what vendors do with patient data, and the speaker says no one can prove separation right now, making this a compliance risk that is expensive. They argue that if something goes wrong and hospital entities were aware but did not investigate, hospitals could be liable.
The speaker’s plan is to get involved publicly: ask Oracle a single yes-or-no question repeatedly and force attention on the answer or lack of it. The question is: “Is there a firewall separating Oracle Health patient data from your defense and intelligence infrastructure? Yes or no?” They call for posting the question across Oracle Health’s social presence, especially LinkedIn, targeting hospital executives, legal teams, and compliance officers. The speaker says that if Oracle responds “no,” hospital boards will face a problem; if Oracle responds “yes,” Oracle must provide documentation and audits; and if Oracle does not answer, hospital executives will become nervous. The speaker ends by urging coordinated action “right now,” framing it as “congress” and asking the audience for support.

Speaker 0: You and me, we're congress now. Okay? Because something pretty big happened while congress was away on spring break, and we don't really have time to wait for them to get back just to not care. But I do have a plan, so let me catch you up. On March 31, Oracle announced this new AI platform for the United States government.
And what it does is very simple, but it's also very terrifying because it takes civilian agency data, and it takes defense agency data, and it mixes it all together. And the idea is that they wanna be able to make mission critical decisions at scale using AI. Enable civilian and defense agencies to unify critical information so they can move faster, reduce information silos, and make informed mission critical decisions at scale. Now having civilian and military data under the same company roof is one thing, but having it accessible on the same platform so that AI tools can reach both of them and cross pollinate, that's not good at all. And we don't really have to guess as to how this would turn out if we did it.
Okay? Because there's already a country that does this, China, and it's called military civil fusion. Starting in 2017, China built a system with the help of Larry Ellison where hospitals, tech companies, and universities all made their civilian data available to the People's Liberation Army. So all of your military records, your research, your business data, all of that goes to the same military that has their missiles pointed at Taiwan. Because the idea is that you're blurring civilian life and military operations.
You don't create a distinguishment between it. The idea is that the government, through the military, has ownership over all of the infrastructure and all of your information. And The United States has spent literally years pointing at that and saying, boop, that's the line that free countries don't cross. We sanctioned Huawei over it. We banned TikTok over it.
That was kinda the whole argument. You know how the CCP and TikTok were kind of too intertwined? That was our whole point. We didn't want that happening with us. See, we love our military here in America.
Okay? But we love our military separate from our civilians. Military stay over there. Civilians stay over here. We care about this so much as a country that we put it in our bill of rights.
It is the third amendment. You know how you can't quarter soldiers in a civilian's home? That's where this comes from. Everyone treats it like it's some weird historical footnote, but the principle behind it is dead serious. So when an American company announces a platform that unifies civilian and military data under one government AI system, we should probably talk about that.
No? Oracle is already well on its way trying to unify all of this data. Right now, we have Medicare and Medicaid data that is moving over to Oracle's platforms as we speak. That is the health records of tens of millions of people around America, your parents, your grandparents, anybody who is on the federal health care coverage, this is affecting. And at the same time that's happening, Oracle already holds air force contracts, intelligence community contracts, and defense agency contracts.
And here's the thing. Right now, there is no law that says those two things have to stay separate. Your health care data and air force contract data, nothing. No firewall, no rule, nothing in the books that says legally they have to stay separate. The only thing separating your grandmother's health care records from defense AI systems like Palantir's is Oracle's own policies.
Now we need a law that requires that separation. We we we need that written down on paper, but if there's anything that Delta Airlines has taught me about congress, it's that it's not gonna happen if we ask them nicely. We have to make everybody very, very uncomfortable if we want something like this to happen. And we need something like this to happen because the clock is counting down. We don't have much time.
Outside of Delta Airlines, you know who congress does listen to? The health care industry, hospital systems, the people who spend billions of dollars on health care technology. Why would hospital executives scare you? Ask. I'll give you one reason.
HIPAA compliance. Because under HIPAA, hospitals are responsible for what their vendors do with patient data. And so it's not that Oracle holding health data is illegal or them holding military contracts is illegal, but no one right now can prove that those two things are separated, and that is a compliance risk. And compliance risks are very expensive. We need to ask a very important question, and we need to make sure that they hear it because if something goes wrong with our data and it comes out that they knew the question and didn't investigate, well, then they're liable.
So the plan is I need you to be a troll with me. Okay? We need to ask Oracle one very simple question, a yes or no question, and we need to force these hospital executives to see them answer this question or not answer it. The question is, is there a firewall separating Oracle Health patient data from your defense and intelligence infrastructure? Yes or no?
And we need to hit Oracle Health hard all over their LinkedIn pages on every single post, on everything that they ever do. We need to be loud about it. It's hospital executives, legal teams, compliance officers. They love themselves some good thought leaders. Okay?
They are all on LinkedIn all the time. And think about it. If we all copy and paste that same question everywhere, it's perfect because Oracle is trapped. If they say no to that question, then every hospital boardroom in the country has a problem. If they say, yeah.
We have a firewall, then great. Prove it. You have to show the documentation now. You have to show the audit because the boards and the hospitals and the executives, they're all gonna be watching. And if they say nothing, well, that's gonna make a lot of hospital execs very nervous.
In fact, I'm gonna kick us off. I'm gonna get started on this right now. Okay? And don't you dare leave me behind, suckers. Alright?
Remember, we're congress now, and do something for me that congress has never done for me before. Have my back. Hey. The 30,000 of you that just got let go, you got a new part time gig, baby. Let's do this.

(2/) The short version: Oracle Health is deeply involved in health records, health AI, and major government health infrastructure. Oracle also serves defense, intelligence, immigration, and law-enforcement customers. I would like the medical data world and the war machine world kept very far apart, personally.
@thedreydossier - Drey
(3/) So we started asking a simple question: what prevents Oracle Health patient data, de-identified data, metadata, AI outputs, or model weights from being used to train or inform defense, ICE, policing, or intelligence AI? Instead of a clear answer, we got silence(d). They turned off comments across LinkedIn.
@thedreydossier - Drey
(4/) So now we are done asking like this is confusing. The demand is simple: Oracle Health owes patients a written guarantee: our medical data and AI derivatives will never feed defense, ICE, policing, or intelligence AI. Publish the firewall. #WhereIsTheFirewall

I hadn’t heard of the US CLOUD Act either, but it allows the US government to demand data from American cloud providers even if the servers are abroad. Oracle is already embedded in UK government systems like the NHS and immigration. So when digital ID advances under King Charles, I see a UK surveillance story—and an American one too.
@thedreydossier - Drey
Have you ever heard of the US CLOUD Act? No? It means the US government can demand data from American cloud companies, even when the servers are in another country. And Oracle is already embedded across the UK’s government plumbing: NHS systems, tax records, benefits, employment, immigration, justice, and defense cloud. So when King Charles confirmed today that digital ID is still moving forward, just remember: this is not only a UK surveillance story. It is also an American one. Didn’t we fight a whole war to stop being one country? So why is our data infrastructure doing Pangea cosplay?

After three years of a mostly dormant X account, I have finally decided to lean in. Allow me to properly introduce myself. My name is Audrey, but my friends and family call me Drey (shoutout to my brother for that one), which is how the name, The Drey Dossier, came to be. (Plus, every generation needs a good dossier.) I am an independent journalist and researcher with a soft spot for pulpy noir thrillers from the 1940s, which isn’t exactly subtle in the branding. Back in November of 2025, I started pulling on a Larry Ellison-shaped thread that has not stopped unraveling since. I typically publish a weekly deep-dive (with sources) on Substack and YouTube. The investigations are free and always will be. This is Newton, my research associate. He peer reviews all of my work before it goes out. Any grievances with my sourcing, please take it up with him. What drives me in this work is simply my love for this country. We the People deserve better than being lied to about where our money goes, who is buying our politicians, and who is watching us. I also believe the legacy of those who fought hard for this country deserves to be protected. And if we want any kind of future worth having, we have to fight for that, too. I, like many of us, am a witness to the erosion and capture of this country and our government through foreign governments *cough* Israel *cough*, and the most important thing a witness can do is keep a ledger. That is what The Drey Dossier is. It’s nice to meet you.

The anatomy of a… ballroom? Back in October, I started pulling the donor list for Trump’s ‘ballroom’ expecting the usual suspects- luxury brands draining their marketing budgets for a White House photo op But there was no Steinway. No Hermès. No Baccarat. In their place were names like Caterpillar, Booz Allen Hamilton, Blackstone, and Union Pacific. Companies that build classified networks, industrial generators, and military infrastructure.
