Trump’s Admin – Foreign Policy and Security – Pete Hegseth Part OneDate recorded: Jan 22, 2026How does a war machine become dominant?

Yet again, fear-based messaging is being used as an excuse to transform our military into Skynet: AI, biotech (transhumanism), massive surveillance, autonomous equipment and so much more. With private partners (can we say fascism?) including Anduril, Palantir and SpaceX, what could go wrong??? Listen in to the details as Peter and Terra lay them out.Music by Roman Garcia, The Roaming Bandits - Dystopian Future http://theroamingbandits.comShow notes:Pete Hegsethhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Hegseth“Recovering Neocon” Hegseth Pledges “Peace Through Strength”https://thenewamerican.com/us/politics/recovering-neocon-hegseth-pledges-peace-through-strength/DOGE at the Pentagon: The Business of More “Efficient” Warshttps://thenewamerican.com/us/doge-at-the-pentagon-the-business-of-more-efficient-wars/House Republicans Push $100-billion Military Boosthttps://thenewamerican.com/us/house-republicans-push-100-billion-military-boost/Trump "The Peacemaker" Calls for Expanded $1.5 Trillion Military Budget In Time For World War III And Debt Expansion At All Costshttps://thewinepress.substack.com/p/trump-the-peacemaker-calls-for-expandedTrump seeks 50% boost in annual defense budget to $1.5 trillionhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-seeks-50-boost-in-annual-defense-budget-to-1-5-trillion/ar-AA1TM2JKThe Pentagon Is Using a Fabricated Chinese Threat To Build Genetically Engineered Soldiershttps://thefreethoughtproject.com/military-industrial-complex/the-pentagon-is-using-a-fabricated-chinese-threat-to-build-genetically-engineered-soldiersTrump Pushing to Expand Government Stake in Private Industryhttps://thenewamerican.com/features/trump-pushing-to-expand-government-stake-in-private-industry/Hegseth Orders Pentagon to “Wartime Footing,” Tightens Ties With Industryhttps://thenewamerican.com/us/hegseth-orders-pentagon-to-wartime-footing-tightens-ties-with-industry/Pentagon Integrates Google’s Gemini Into New Military AI Platformhttps://thenewamerican.com/us/tech/pentagon-integrates-googles-gemini-into-new-military-ai-platform/Hegseth And Department Of War Debuts GenAI.Mil Platform For Government And Soldiers, Says 'AI Is America's Next Manifest Destiny'https://thewinepress.substack.com/p/hegseth-and-department-of-war-debutsSkynet: Pete Hegseth Announces Plans To Integrate Everything At The Pentagon With AI, Will 'Appropriate Data Available Including Mission Systems Across Every Service And Component'https://thewinepress.substack.com/p/skynet-pete-hegseth-announces-plans
