Yesterday I had E.M. Burlingame and Veles from Rogue News back on the podcast for our first three way conversation, and hopefully the first of many. We talked about a bunch of topics, but we spent most of our time on the complex layers of the AI and data center boom, and how that ties into the complex layers of the elites. You can find E.M.’s Substack below, but he’s also worth a follow on Twitter. You can find Veles on Rogue News when he makes his appearances over there.
