Tech Fascism and Infrastructure

Tech fascists are destroying the United States government for a purpose. They have a massive infrastructure project underway that will transform America and large parts of the world.

Venture capitalists are executing on plans to build thousands of new data centers, with significant implications for the environment and communities. They are forcing a centralized store of all American data, taken by DOGE and fed into AI. These developments are paving the way for a new generation of policing and surveillance, with a significant upgrading of policing and border technology across the board. Crypto, the venture capital financial system, is being elevated not through market competition and consumer choice, but by the compromising of regulatory bodies and favorable executive orders from politicians they bought.

Venture capitalists want a new Manhattan Project for AI weapons, and to force the re-militarization of the world with a new age of weapons startups. They plan to transform federal land into unregulated development zones for new tech and crypto cities, with sprawling compute and energy infrastructure to support the development of artificial intelligence, weapons, biotech, crypto and other tech projects. According to Wired: "the goal of these cities would be to have places where anti-aging clinical trials, nuclear reactor startups, and building construction can proceed without having to get prior approval from agencies like the Food and Drug Administration, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Environmental Protection Agency."

This document lays out known facts and status of these projects.

"American Dynamism"

Marc Andreessen, the most powerful venture capitalist, has long held "it's time to build", launching the "American Dynamism" project in 2022 and laying the groundwork for a venture capital takeover of the US government. A faux-patriotic campaign, American Dynamism proposes turning large parts of the country and government over to venture capital, as well as massive public funding for venture capital projects. Ultimately, they seek the replacement of American government and institutions with venture backed startups.

Andreessen Horowitz asserts on its website:

"the only way to reverse the course of stagnation and kickstart nationwide renewal post-Covid is through technologists building companies that support the national interest. [We] call this American dynamism: it’s the recognition that seemingly insurmountable problems in our society — from national security and public safety to housing and education — demand solutions that aren’t simply incremental changes that perpetuate the status quo. These problems demand solutions from builders — and it’s never been more vital that startups tackle these serious American problems... dynamism in America is not being spurred by policy in Washington — it’s being driven by a growing group of technologists that are solving problems of immense national importance... the only immediate way to kickstart American renewal is through startups building for critical problems."

In an early 2023 podcast, Marc Andreessen called for significantly larger funding of venture capital to fuel larger and larger scale projects, stating:

"what if you just had more zeros on the amount of money? What if instead of funding companies for $20 million, you could fund them for $2 billion, or $20 billion? In other words, maybe they would operate on the timeframe of today's companies, on a five or 10 year timeframe, but you can fund them with 20 billion of venture financing, instead of $20 million. I think that's a more interesting question. It's possible that there are pretty big fundamental things that could be built with larger amounts of money in this kind of entrepreneurial model. Every once in a while you do see these giants. Tesla and SpaceX are two obvious examples of these world changing things that just took a lot of money and then had a really big impact. So maybe there's something there, and maybe that's something that the venture ecosystem should experiment with in the years ahead."

The destruction of liberal democracy is not an end in itself, but rather the launching pad for a new era of technofascist projects and power. Ultimately, these projects support the creation of the Network State: a sovereign, venture capital nation-state led by Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel, Sam Altman and other tech oligarchs. They seek financing, land and resources from America and the American tax payer to build their state and infrastructure projects, also leveraging foreign funding from countries like Saudi Arabia. This effort will cost many trillions of dollars, and venture capitalists cannot afford it on their own.

The New Manhattan Project

A newly-published book by Alexander Karp, the CEO of Palantir, proposes starting a new Manhattan Project for the AI age. The book states "The atomic age is coming to a close. This is the software century, and the decisive wars of the future will be driven by artificial intelligence, whose development is proceeding on a far different, and faster, timeline than weapons of the past."

From The Technological Republic:

"The United States and its allies abroad should without delay commit to launching a new Manhattan Project in order to retain exclusive control over the most sophisticated forms of AI for the battlefield -- the targeting systems and swarms of drones and eventually robots that will become the most powerful weapons of this century. The aircraft carriers and fighter jets that defined warfare in the last era will become accessories to software -- the means by which increasingly intelligent systems wield power in the world. Our defense budget, and the legions of personnel charged with overseeing it, are out of date by decades. An urgent effort to shift the emphasis of our investment in national security, bringing together America and its partners in Europe and Asia, must be launched now." (Emphasis added.)

The original Manhattan Project produced the atomic bomb, with many of its technicians not knowing what they were working on, or its implications, through the policy of compartmentalization. In 1945, the atomic bombs that emerged from the Manhattan Project were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. According to ICAN, "The two atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 killed and maimed hundreds of thousands of people, and their effects are still being felt today. By the end of 1945, the bombing had killed an estimated 140,000 people in Hiroshima, and a further 74,000 in Nagasaki. In the years that followed, many of the survivors would face leukemia, cancer, or other terrible side effects from the radiation."

Karp demands more federal funding for the "new Manhattan Project": "The U.S. Department of Defense requested a total of $1.8 billion to fund artificial intelligence capabilities in 2024, representing only 0.2 percent -- a fifth of 1 percent -- of the country's total proposed national defense budget of $886 billion."

Karp also demands that Europe re-arm itself and take on more responsibility for defense funding, stating "For decades, America has been spending approximately 3 to 5 percent of its GDP on defense, while military expenditures by the European Union have hovered at around 1.5 percent over that same period."

Further, that "The implications of the fractured European approach to defense spending and acquisition are significant, with the procurement machines of nearly thirty nations pursuing different strategies with different suppliers across the continent and the world." This suggests the unification of military strategy around the new vision of warfare proposed by venture capital and its investment products.

Similar themes suffuse the book "The Kill Chain," written by an Anduril executive. Anduril is the largest weapons startup and is backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund (Peter Thiel's VC firm), and In-Q-Tel (the CIA's VC firm). Anduril has raised $3.7 billion dollars in funding to date, has over 3,500 employees, and is active in multiple battlezones. From the book:

"The United States has had good reasons for limiting the military power of our allies, not least a concern that more capable allies might be tempted to start or escalate fights that could implicate us in misguided conflicts. This is a legitimate risk. But the greater risk now is not that America’s frontline allies are too militarily capable; it is that they are not capable enough and integrated sufficiently into meaningful roles in the US military’s operational planning. Washington leaders pay lip service to the importance of alliances. What we often convey through our actions, however, is that allies are nice to have, but if push really comes to shove, we prefer to do the hard things on our own. This must change for America to deny China military dominance… America needs our allies to be capable of immediately defending themselves and us from any acts of aggression. We also need our allies to be willing to host significantly larger amounts of US military power than they do now, because America no longer has the luxury of commuting to future conflicts from stateside bases on multi month deployment schedules. These expectations of our allies entail much larger political and diplomatic orders, and our allies would bear these burdens not only for themselves but also for us — because the US military might not be able to defend effectively without their support and access to their territory.” 

What is proposed is a comprehensive re-militarization and re-funding of the military capabilities of dozens of countries, all premised on geopolitical tension with China, cold war with China, and the possibility of hot war with China. Venture capitalists have become key proponents of global tension with China. Recently, the U.S. Air Force assigned the fighter designation for Anduril's Collaborative Combat Aircraft prototype, YFQ-44A. The CEO of Anduril, Palmer Luckey, has shared a quote on X about these developments; quote as follows: "In Chinese culture, the number '44' is considered unlucky because the pronunciation of 'four' (四, si) sounds similar to the word for 'death' (死, si), and '44' is seen as 'double death'."

Trump has also proposed the creation of a "Golden Dome", based on Israel's Iron Dome. In a Joint Session of Congress in March 2025, Trump stated "As commander in chief, my focus is on building the most powerful military of the future. As a first step, I’m asking Congress to fund a state-of-the-art Golden Dome missile defense shield to protect our homeland, all made in the USA." A high ranking official in the U.S. Space Force has stated: "This is on the order of magnitude of Manhattan Project, and it’s going to take concerted effort from the very top of our government."

Venture capitalists and weapons CEOs would be primary beneficiaries of this expanded military project, not only as the recipients of funding and sales, but in attaining weapons that they alone have built and know how to operate. Under this model, it is not simply that America and its allies will have these weapons, but tech fascists themselves will own and operate a massive military apparatus. The new Manhattan Project would be conceived by venture capital, under its executives, executed through its startups and workforce, and based on its technology. Who then, would control the outcome?

Coup of the American Military

The American government has been compromised by a number of venture capitalists, many of them investors in large portfolios of weapons startups with a financial interest in re-shaping warfare and increasing global tension.

Now-Vice President JD Vance is a venture capitalist backed by Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen. JD Vance has made significant investments in the new age of warfare proposed by tech fascism. His investments include Anduril and Hermeus, which makes hypersonic aerial systems and advertises "Darkhorse", "a multi-mission hypersonic UAS (uncrewed aerial system) designed for defense and national security missions." JD Vance worked at Mithril, one of Peter Thiel's VC firms and an investor in Palantir.

JD Vance also started his own venture capital firm, Narya, getting funding from Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen and Eric Schmidt -- another major weapons investor. Narya in turn invested in True Anomaly, an aerospace company for the "new space race." Its use cases include "Battle Management: Maintain the information advantage with a complete picture of the operating environment from every angle" with "capabilities that support deterrence and secure space for future generations." Narya also invested in Realm Alliance, co-founded by Palantir alumni, which "integrates various surveillance systems, such as drones, cameras, and tracking devices, into a unified geospatial common operating picture, enabling situational awareness for security operations."

The compromising of the US military is widely reported and most apparent in the behavior of the new administration in diplomacy with Russia and Ukraine. The newly appointed defense secretary Pete Hegseth has fired top lawyers across the military, including the Army, the Air Force and the Navy, protecting a takeover attempt. The new chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff -- the highest ranking military officer -- is Dan Caine, a venture capitalist at Shield Capital, which has numerous investments in weapons startups.

These include HawkEye 360, a satellite surveillance company for border control, dark ship identification, and protection of "your exclusive economic zone". Economic zones are the basis of the Network State, indicating that weapons startups are being developed for the specific use case of protecting the Network State. Other investments include Rebellion Defense, also backed by Eric Schmidt, which states "We believe warfighters must be equipped with the best software capabilities to detect, deter and outpace the modern adversary at speed and scale."

Per the Associated Press: "Caine does not meet the position’s prerequisites, such as being a combatant commander or service chief, as laid out in a 1986 law that does allow a president to waive those requirements."

This is only a selection of datapoints indicating a compromising of the United States military. Taken all together, this paints a picture of the United States military being brutally compromised by venture capitalists in order to ensure the success of their weapons investments, and the future of the Network State.

Policing Infrastructure

Venture capitalists, through a vast web of weapons and surveillance companies, have developed new capabilities in artificial intelligence, drones, autonomous vehicles, robots, satellite surveillance, etc. These technologies are not just being developed for war applications overseas, but for domestic applications in the policing apparatus.

Investigative reporting by TechCrunch exposed how Andreessen Horowitz is giving weapons systems to police departments, donating Skydio drones used in the genocide of Palestinians to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department:

"The venture capitalist [Ben Horowitz] has facilitated communication between the LVMPD and at least six a16z portfolio companies. TechCrunch learned about this relationship after receiving over 100 emails between Horowitz and the department, as well as internal police emails about his donations primarily between January 2023 and July 2024, in a public records request."

A further report from TechCrunch reveals:

"Andreessen Horowitz co-founder Ben Horowitz has donated a fleet of Tesla Cybertrucks to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, the department has confirmed to TechCrunch. The Cybertruck fleet is the latest entry in a list of gifts Horowitz has given to the Las Vegas police — a relationship TechCrunch revealed in detail late last year. The venture capitalist has donated more than $7 million to the department over the last few years. Most of that money has been used to purchase technology from Andreessen Horowitz portfolio companies. At times, TechCrunch’s reporting showed, the police department offered Horowitz the chance to weigh in on how that technology was deployed."

Skydio drones, used in the genocide of Palestinians, are being rolled out widely across police departments, including in the New York Police Department, Chicago Police Department, the Miami Beach Police Department, the Detroit Police Department and others. These case studies indicate a massive upgrading of the policing system, conceived and funded by venture capital, is occurring across the country, often leveraging technologies for both military and policing as well as border control.

Additional venture-backed policing technologies rolling out across the country include Flock Safety, funded by Andreessen Horowitz and YCombinator: "Flock provides hardware, cloud-based software, and maintenance for license plate readers, gunshot detection, video and so much more." In a 2023 case study, Flock Safety claims "Fort Worth PD’s Real-Time Crime Center improved policing with Flock Safety tech, aiding 2,227 arrests and seizing 417 firearms." It is also in use by police departments in Minnesota, Arizona, Washington, Oklahoma and others.

Many other venture-capital backed startups with use cases in military/policing are active and growing. As venture capitalists fund and design the hardware, software, surveillance, weaponry, vehicles and data of the policing apparatus, they gain more and more power over it. This is particularly significant as their gutting of the government, services, school systems and healthcare infrastructure, will inevitable cause civil unrest and protest movements. In that case, their own weapons companies and personnel are deployed to squash dissent.

Computing Infrastructure - Data Centers and AI Infrastructure

Venture capitalists have plans for a massive data center build-out, new energy projects to feed computing infrastructure, satellite surveillance for AI, and a new underwater cable system. All of these projects can be tied to a small group of tech elite and venture capitalists, and these projects are progressing due to the election of Trump, who they heavily backed through hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign financing.

Meta, which has bent the knee to Trump in various ways, is embarking on a large scale underseas cable build-out, "Project Waterworth will bring industry-leading connectivity to the U.S., India, Brazil, South Africa, and other key regions... Project Waterworth will be a multi-billion dollar, multi-year investment to strengthen the scale and reliability of the world’s digital highways by opening three new oceanic corridors with the abundant, high speed connectivity needed to drive AI innovation around the world." Underseas cabling is a key point of geopolitical interest in the technological cold war with China.

Oracle, under Larry Ellison, is engaged in a massive data center build-out. In September 2024, he stated "We have 162 data centers now. I expect we will have 1,000 or 2,000 or more Oracle Cloud data centers around the world, and a lot of them will be dedicated to individual banks or telecommunications companies or technology companies or what have you. Or nation-states, sovereign clouds, all of this other stuff. “

Speaking at an Oracle Financial Analyst meeting in 2024, Ellison said:

"We're building data centers, I mean my god, we're building nuclear reactors, are you kidding me, that sounds completely made up, but its not, you need a lot of power to power acres of these GPU clusters... I mean it's acres of these GPU clusters... you know what basic stakes is? You know what it costs to build a frontier model over the next three years? You're one of the companies that want to build a frontier model, how much will you spend? ... Yeah, a hundred billion. That kind of gets you in the game... put in your $100 billion and you're in the race."

Venture capitalists and tech barons have made significant investments into nuclear energy, with the plan of using it to power their data centers and tech projects. Helion, "building the world's first fusion power plant," is funded by Sam Altman of OpenAI and recently raised $425 million, with investors including SoftBank and Mithril, a Peter Thiel venture firm. Sam Altman is also an investor in Oklo, a publicly traded nuclear power company; in January 2025, Oklo "signed a memorandum of understanding with RPower, a Texas-based power generation company, to deploy a phased energy model for data centers." Andreessen Horowitz is an investor in Radiant, "building portable 1-megawatt nuclear reactors, the size of a shipping container, that can reliably produce power for 20 years. Their portable design makes it possible to produce energy wherever it’s needed, without grid infrastructure."

Larry Ellison has laid out an authoritarian vision of life and policing:

"The police will be on their best behavior because we're constantly watching and recording everything that's going on. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on. And its unimpeachable... the cars, the cars have cameras on them, I think we have a squad car here someplace... We're going to have supervision. In other words every police officer is going to be supervised at all times. And if there's a problem, AI will report the problem and report it to the appropriate person, whether its the sheriff or the chief or whomever we need to take control of the situation... same thing, we have drones, if there's something going on in a shopping center, a drone goes out there, gets there way faster than a police car, there's no reason, by the way, for high speed chases, you shouldn't have high speed chases between cars... you just have a drone follow the car, its very simple... the new generation of autonomous drones..."

Oracle has major partnerships with both Palantir and Anduril, stating in press releases "Together, Oracle and Palantir will bring powerful new capabilities to the defense industry. Oracle and Palantir will jointly sell and support cloud and AI services across government and commercial industries" and "Together, Oracle and Anduril will provide secure mission capabilities across the globe from the datacenter to the tactical edge, and at all classification levels."

Oracle has touched on the use of satellite imagery and AI for various use cases; the Anduril book, The Kill Chain, expands on this notion:

“As sensors are proliferating on Earth, they are also blanketing it in outer space. From hundreds of miles away, commercial satellites can see objects on Earth in minute detail, and they may soon be able to identify individual faces. The number of these satellites grows by the hundreds every year. Silicon Valley is largely responsible for soon-to-be thousands of small satellites that will create an unblinking eye over the entire Earth, resulting in more real-time surveillance of the planet than ever before… put simply Silicon Valley is turning the entire world into a sensor…”

The total picture is a new surveillance system by Oracle, OpenAI, Palantir, Anduril and financially related companies. Oracle describe this as the "sovereign cloud". Via reporting by The Register:

"Larry Ellison wants to put all America's data, including DNA, in one big Oracle system for AI to study... Ellison shared his take on what governments need to do to succeed with AI during a discussion with his buddy former UK prime minister Tony Blair at the World Governments Summit in Dubai today. The world's fourth-most-richest man – a good friend also of the world's richest man Elon Musk – insisted artificial intelligence is soon going to change everyone's lives across the board. If governments want in, they’ll need to gather all their data – spatial information, economic data, electronic healthcare records including genomic data, and info about infrastructure. Whatever they’ve got, basically. And put it all in one place to be analyzed by algorithms... 'We need to unify all the national data, put it into a database where it's easily consumable by the AI model, and then ask whatever question you like,' [Ellison] said. 'That's the missing link.'"

Larry Ellison has stated: "We have this franchise where most of the world's important data is in an Oracle database."

Importantly, one of the functions of the DOGE program is to collect and integrate data from government agencies, which have huge repositories of information. Per The Conversation: "The Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, has secured unprecedented access to at least seven sensitive federal databases, including those of the Internal Revenue Service and Social Security Administration... For AI developers, government databases represent something akin to finding the Holy Grail. While companies such as OpenAI, Google and xAI currently rely on information scraped from the public internet, nonpublic government repositories offer something much more valuable: verified records of actual human behavior across entire populations."

Larry Ellison is a close friend of Elon Musk and the second largest individual shareholder in Tesla.

Further developments are unfolding in the Stargate project, announced by President Trump in January 2025. Per the Guardian: "Donald Trump has unveiled what he called 'the largest AI infrastructure project in history' – a $500bn joint venture between OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank that aims to build a network of data centres across the US... Sites for the new data centers are being evaluated across the country, though the venture will begin with initial projects in Texas."

OpenAI has itself published demands for the American government in a document called "OpenAI's Economic Blueprint". These demands include digitizing government data for use by venture companies, funding for a National AI Research Resource, and "Dramatically increased federal spending on power and data transmission and streamlined approval for new lines. That would be accompanied by the creation of a National AI Infrastructure Highway..." The document states "Since private markets alone may not be enough to pay for the massive amount of needed AI infrastructure, the US government can provide offtake purchase commitments and credit enhancements to encourage infrastructure investment."

OpenAI's Economic Blueprint also calls for the creation of "AI Economic Zones, created by local, state and the federal government together with industry, that significantly speed up the permitting processes for building AI infrastructure like new solar arrays, wind farms and nuclear reactors."

Special economic zones, or SEZs, are the foundation of the Network State, and Sam Altman is an investor in Praxis Nation, a Network State project that has called itself "the next America" and is working to establish a new nation.

The Network State, Freedom Cities and Economic Zones

Leveraging the new administration, venture capitalists are attaining the land, resources, and regulatory and legal frameworks for tech and crypto cities. These projects are part of the Network State -- the effort of venture capitalists, including Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen, to establish a tech billionaire nation-state made up of distributed sites.

The Network State already has colonies in Honduras and Nigeria, and is trying to build a venture capital city in Solano County, California.

The new administration is opening the doors to additional expansion on US territory. This includes "Freedom Cities," proposed on federal land under the Trump administration. From Wired:

"Several groups representing 'startup nations'—tech hubs exempt from the taxes and regulations that apply to the countries where they are located—are drafting Congressional legislation to create 'freedom cities' in the US that would be similarly free from certain federal laws, WIRED has learned.

According to interviews and presentations viewed by WIRED, the goal of these cities would be to have places where anti-aging clinical trials, nuclear reactor startups, and building construction can proceed without having to get prior approval from agencies like the Food and Drug Administration, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Environmental Protection Agency."

In a related move, Trump has moved to gut the Presidio Trust, which oversees the Presidio National Park site. Key figures in the Network State movement are advocating for the Presidio to be turned into a freedom city where they can continue unfettered and unregulated development in key areas like biotech. Per Mark Lutter of the Charter Cities Institute:

"The San Francisco Bay Area is the undisputed center of America’s tech industry. But it exemplifies both what remains of American dynamism and also the wasted potential of overall industrial stagnation.... The proliferation of regulations which make biomedical, energy, transport, and other emerging technological innovations more difficult and costly to research, develop, and commercialize, when combined with the Bay Area’s extreme restrictions on the development of new housing, pose a grave threat to the long-run health of the world’s leading innovation ecosystem... Implemented effectively, a San Francisco Bay Area Freedom City will launch a tidal wave of scientific and technological breakthroughs which can restore American economic dynamism and produce profound improvements in American life, while ensuring the United States remains the world’s innovation capital."

The article discusses turning the area into a "Drone Valley" -- the brainchild of Marc Andreessen -- or creating a "more permissive operating environment" for biotech companies. In a thread on X, Lutter states "President Trump and Congress have the opportunity to turn the 1500 acre Presidio into a Freedom City and compete with mismanaged San Francisco... With Paris density, Presidio can house 120,000 residents. By cutting regulations in key areas including biotech, drones, and energy, the Bay Area could keep its rightful place as the innovation capital of hte [sic] world... Picture an environment where tech, biotech, and advanced manufacturing flourish—where bureaucracy is replaced by agile governance and rapid execution."

A key site of the Network State is in Solano County, California, where residents have been fighting against a proposed billionaire city backed by Marc Andreessen and others associated with his venture capital firm, Andreessen Horowitz. With the federal government now compromised by the Network State agenda, residents are at risk of having the force of the federal government against them.

This is also a concern in the case of Honduras, where venture capitalists have an operating Network State colony -- Próspera -- that is performing unregulated medical experiments as Honduras tries to expel it. Recently, the CEO and legal counsel of Próspera posted photos of themselves at the West Wing of the White House; CEO Erick Brimen tweeted "A new dawn approaches…", as well as a photo of himself in the Senate Committee on the Judiciary chambers, stating "This is where important hearings will be taking place soon…" This indicates that Próspera intends to leverage the imperial power of the United States to secure its colony, against the will of the Honduran people. Próspera is already suing Honduras for $11 billion in international trade court, in a show of force to remain in the country.

Additional movement on the Network State project is seen in Elon Musk's efforts to turn the company's Starbase facilities in Texas into a city. Currently: "a majority vote is required in an election to create a new city. If approved by the voters, the base would become a Type C municipality, which means it is less than two square miles with 200-5,000 residents. The city will also have a mayor and two commissioners. SpaceX's security manager, Gunnar Milburn, is the sole candidate for mayor."

This exemplifies the corporate-run city or "patchwork" as described by neoreactionary Curtis Yarvin, inspiration for the Network State: "The basic idea of Patchwork is that, as the crappy governments we inherited from history are smashed, they should be replaced by a global spiderweb of tens, even hundreds, of thousands of sovereign and independent mini-countries, each governed by its own joint-stock corporation without regard to the residents’ opinions."
