The Origins of the American Surveillance Machine

On todays show, we talk about surveillance, apps, ring cameras, network of machines that stalk us shopping, driving and more. The fight against Palantir & FLOCK. How did we get here?  What is the origin of the American machine that surveils, infiltrates, terrorizes and kidnaps. We are joined by Matthew Guariglia and Brian Hochman authors of The Church Committee Report: Revelations from the Bombshell 1970s Investigation into the National Security State.
