Who Really Controls You? with Jason Bermas

Pat Miletich brings back investigative filmmaker and researcher Jason Bermas for a wide-ranging conversation on the hidden architecture of power, from DARPA and the origins of Big Tech to weather modification, biometric surveillance, and the systems shaping daily life. Jason has spent 25 years digging into these topics, and he connects threads most people never see. This one goes deep and fast. In this episode: DARPA's origins after Sputnik and how it quietly seeded companies people assume are private The Google story: In-Q-Tel, the Stanford National Library Initiative, and Google's reach across search, video, mobile, and education NASA, SpaceX, Starlink, and Starshield as defense programs, plus the SpaceX-Google GPU deal Area 51, the Oxcart program, Operation Paperclip, and the Horton brothers' flying wing behind the stealth story Weather modification, solar radiation management, and the debate over what's being sprayed Smart dust, biometrics from Iraq and Afghanistan, and Worldcoin's eye-scanning orb The Weimar Germany parallel: synthetic agriculture, mass illness, and 70% of a population on pharmaceuticals GMO seed patents, aluminum-resistant crops, and the ownership of altered life Epstein, blackmail, the SPLC, censorship, and data center expansion Why Jason argues the real solution is personal: chain of custody on your food, growing your own, and mental resilience Guest links: Jason Bermas on YouTube (documentary films including Shade the Motion Picture), and as The InfoWarrior.
