Whitney Webb just exposed that Polymarket is part of a secret deep state plan to build a digital control grid. “Polymarket and Palantir are partners.” “The goal is not just … mass surveillance.” “It’s predictive policing.” “This is the privatized panopticon.” This story is way darker than you think. The “official narrative” of Polymarket’s founding is this: Shayne Coplan created it during Covid, “in his bathroom,” because the “uncertainty” of the Covid era was the “best time for prediction markets.” Webb declared that story is “bunk.” “Even though he’s alone in his bathroom building this company … he somehow raises $4 million just three months after the company launches.” “We know that he had all these connections, particularly the people that sort of bridged the US-Israeli crypto tech scene.” “And the main people backing him are Coinbase’s earliest employees.” “Remember, Coinbase takes Augur and sunsets it.” “Augur was an attempt to resurrect PAM.” “What was PAM?” “PAM was the Policy Analysis Market that these guys have been trying to resurrect.” It was a DARPA project. “There’s an interview that he gave in 2020 where he said a lot of the passion for the creation of Polymarket … was DARPA’s [PAM].” “It was part of TIA.” “Total Information Awareness.” TIA was another DARPA project launched after 9/11. The goal was to build a federal mass surveillance apparatus. TIA was defunded by Congress after public backlash, but it never really went away. It was just privatized, and eventually became Palantir. The goal? “It was to predict.” “Pre-crime.” “So Polymarket … just like with PAM, the odds are there to help feed the pre-crime engine.” “And we know that Polymarket bets can be rigged.” “And that Polymarket itself puts out misinformation sometimes to make trades swing one way or the other.” “And that insider trading is a huge problem.” “The context of that, and as it’s meant to interface with what is now Palantir, is really unsettling.” @_whitneywebb @markgoodw_in
