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. This is a wide-ranging conversation about power, influence, and the future that may already be unfolding around us.

Something strange happened in Mexico… and the story you’re hearing isn’t the full picture. Today, we talk with Hrvoje Moric, cuttently residing in Mexico. Hundreds of narco blockades. Burned buses. Excavated highways. Airports shut down. Yet by Tuesday? Life looked “normal” again. So what really happened? In this episode, we break down what it was like to actually drive through cartel blockades on Sunday morning — and why the official narrative doesn’t quite add up. If you're trying to understand Mexico cartel violence, U.S.–Mexico relations, psychological operations, or how chaos gets used to justify bigger political moves… this one matters. Inside this episode: What 300 narco blockades in one day actually looked like Why airports were shut down (and what was fake news) The reported joint U.S.–Mexican operation targeting cartel leadership How “strategy of tension” tactics work Why some believe this could reshape Mexico’s political future What this means for World Cup 2026 and foreign investment This isn’t fear. It’s pattern recognition. When chaos shows up this coordinated, it raises bigger questions about power, policy, and what comes next for North America. If you care about geopolitics, cartel violence in Mexico, digital surveillance expansion, or the future of U.S.–Mexico relations… watch closely. 👇 Comment below: Do you think this was just cartel retaliation — or something larger at play?
