A bill for the people? We nearly forgot the government could do that 👀

The US government regularly gets around the 4th Amendment by buying data from “third-party” data brokers, to invade your privacy with no oversight.

Why this is legal? We have no idea, but Rep. Thomas Massie (KY) just introduced the Surveillance Accountability Act (with help drafting from Naomi Brockwell!) which closes this loophole.

The bill would mandate warrants for all surveillance, including a ban on invasive AI and facial recognition mass surveillance in public spaces 💪

We’re going against the grain on this one, to acknowledge that proposal H.R. 8250 is not nearly as bad as past proposals like KOSA or the EU’s ID verification scheme. New video out now: Why Everyone's Got the 'Parents Decide Act' Wrong

In 1998, Stanley Meyer claimed to invent a car that ran on water. Days later, he was dead—and his invention disappeared. But Meyer wasn't the only one. There’s a federal law, still active today, that allows the U.S. government to classify and bury private inventions deemed a “threat.” It's called the Invention Secrecy Act—and it's already been used over 6,000 times.

From Nikola Tesla’s wireless energy to Townsend Brown’s anti-gravity tech to Joseph Papp’s engine that ran on noble gases, history is littered with breakthrough inventors who vanished into obscurity... and whose technologies never made it to the public.

This episode uncovers the case studies, the hidden power of secrecy orders, and the chilling question: What else have they buried?
