AI Surveillance State: The Technocracy Being Built Right Now

Most people think the biggest battle today is left vs. right. But what if that’s just the distraction?

In this episode of The Rice Report, Eric Rice sits down with Hesher from Alternate Current Radio to unpack a deeper conversation—about AI, technocracy, propaganda, and the global power structure quietly taking shape behind the scenes.

What starts as a conversation about media narratives quickly turns into something bigger: how artificial intelligence, surveillance systems, and massive government spending are laying the foundation for a new kind of control system.

If you’ve been wondering where all of this is heading… this conversation connects a lot of dots.

Inside this episode:

How AI infrastructure and surveillance tech are expanding globally

Why companies like Palantir and big tech firms are central to the new system

The role of propaganda, media narratives, and psychological operations

Why the real battle may be technocracy vs human freedom

What AI automation could mean for jobs, purpose, and society

The big question isn’t just what technology can do.

It’s who controls it—and what kind of world they’re building with it.
