Bryan McClain: On the Brink of Skynet, 1984, & Full Out Technocracy

Author: Geopolitics & Empire February 12, 2026 Duration: 1:39:51

Bryan McClain discusses his background in technology liaising with the Military-Industrial-Complex at a military college. He recounts how his professional background in computer science and exposure to government censorship regarding WikiLeaks led him to investigate geopolitical propaganda and conspiracy theories. McClain explores the rise of technocracy, warning that society is being pushed toward a global panopticon through AI, digital IDs, and the replacement of personal hardware with controlled edge devices. McClain characterizes current events as a massive psychological operation designed to distract the public while foundational liberties are replaced by a digital control system.

About Bryan McClain

Bryan McClain is founder of Alternate Current Radio (ACR), a Texas based independent media platform that specializes in live-streaming, podcasting, cultural commentary, news analysis, journalism, music mixtapes and the pursuit of helping its audience to learn to defend their minds from predatory mass media cartels. ACR endeavors to help educate, foster critical debate and apply reasonable discussion on political, technological, cultural and social issues which exist in the public domain.

‘Alternate Current Radio’ is owned and operated by BOILER ROOM hosts, “Hesher & Spore.” ACR was established in 2014 by Hesher, Spore, Badger, Patrick Henningsen and their colleagues with the intent to build a collaborative space for podcasters, live-streamers, radio shows, artists, philosophers, analysts, bloggers, journalists and music lovers. The platform’s flagship shows, BOILER ROOM and SUNDAY WIRE, led the way as many more creative, informative and entertaining minds have brought their talents to the mixture.

Alternate Current Radio broadcasts have been pivotal in keeping audiences informed and critically thinking about the highly polarizing narratives being pushed by the mass corporate and State media cartels. From geopolitical affairs, to the pandemic industrial complex to cultural engineering and just about anything the mass media tries to politicize and create outrage porn about, Alternate Current Radio and its alliances are there to attempt to find any sane ground left to stand on.

Tracing the lines on the map that connect past conflicts to present-day crises, Geopolitics & Empire offers a deep and often sobering analysis of how power is projected and contested across the globe. This isn't about surface-level headlines; instead, each episode digs into the historical roots of modern alliances, economic warfare, and the enduring strategies of empires, both old and new. You’ll hear discussions that connect pivotal moments in history to the diplomatic and military maneuvering we see today, providing context that is frequently missing from the daily news cycle. The conversations hosted here are built on the understanding that today’s border disputes, trade wars, and intelligence operations are chapters in a much longer story. By weaving together the categories of history, government, and current affairs, this podcast creates a comprehensive narrative. It’s for anyone who feels that the world’s flashpoints can’t be understood without examining the ambitions, rivalries, and foundational events that set the stage decades or even centuries ago. Tune in for a rigorous exploration of the forces that truly shape international relations, where every treaty, revolution, and strategic pivot is examined for its lasting consequences on the global order.
