One man used AI to map the entire network behind DOGE—and what he uncovered is absolutely terrifying.

The truth is darker and more complex than anyone ever imagined.

DOGE was a backdoor for an AI superintelligence designed to take over the world.

And the system may already be running.

We keep hearing about AI superintelligence and how it’s supposedly going to be a great thing for us. Efficiency, productivity, whatever buzzwords you want to throw in there. But what these leaders never really discuss is the level above government that may be taking shape—essentially an AI government with the potential for complete and total control over humanity.

How do we know that’s happening?

For starters, they keep lying about what they’re doing, including, apparently, about DOGE.

Introduced as a program to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, researcher Andrew Arnold—who is actually using AI for good—has uncovered a deep web of players involved in building AI superintelligence. And yes, DOGE is right at the center of it.

Elon Musk is hardly the main player.

And according to Andrew’s findings, this may even have something to do with the war in Iran.

The interview opened with a look at the investigative system behind Andrew’s research and how he began connecting dots most people would never think to link together.

Andrew explained that he built an AI tool capable of scraping thousands of documents and mapping relationships between people, organizations, money flows, and policy decisions. Instead of analyzing events in isolation, the system reveals a web of connections showing how Silicon Valley figures, government officials, and powerful tech investors intersect.

What started as simple curiosity about DOGE quickly turned into something much bigger.

As the data expanded, the same network of individuals kept appearing behind developments that seemed completely unrelated on the surface. Andrew pointed to events like the bombing of Iran, ICE detentions in Michigan, the proposed U.S. annexation of Greenland, and the rapid construction of data centers across the country.

To him, the pattern suggested something far deeper than routine government programs.

Andrew warned that what’s emerging may be the early architecture of a much larger system quietly taking shape behind the scenes. In his view, the Department of Government Efficiency acted as the gateway that allowed this infrastructure to begin forming, saying the evidence suggests “the Department of Government Efficiency created a back door for an AI superintelligence that is designed to take over the country and the world.”

With that foundation laid, Andrew began walking through the key figures involved, explaining that many of the most influential players remain largely unknown to the public.

The conversation then turned to one of the central figures in the network Andrew uncovered, former White House Chief Technology Officer Michael Kratsios.

According to Andrew, Kratsios played a pivotal role in shaping the federal government’s early push into advanced technology. During the Trump administration, he oversaw major initiatives tied to artificial intelligence, quantum computing, drone development, and the nationwide expansion of 5G infrastructure.

Much of this work was presented publicly as innovation and national security policy. But Andrew argued it also laid the groundwork for a far larger AI ecosystem developing inside the federal government.

Kratsios helped coordinate some of the government’s earliest AI initiatives, including the creation of the White House National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Office and a broader framework that pulled dozens of federal agencies into the effort.

That’s where Palantir enters the picture.

Andrew explained that as these government initiatives were expanding, Palantir’s footprint inside federal systems was growing rapidly as well. The company wasn’t just assisting with logistics during the pandemic, he said. It quickly became the central hub for government COVID data.

Palantir helped run Operation Warp Speed’s vaccine distribution tracking system while simultaneously gaining access to the full federal COVID data environment.

In practical terms, Andrew said this gave Palantir visibility into the entire government dataset surrounding the pandemic. As he explained, the company “was really the only organization who had access to all of the COVID data, whether it was a US Government agency or contractor.”

From there, the discussion shifted to what Andrew believes was the real purpose behind the DOGE initiative.

Publicly, the program was promoted as an effort to eliminate government waste and inefficiency. But according to Andrew’s research, something very different was unfolding behind the scenes.

He explained that DOGE teams quietly moved through multiple federal departments, gaining access to major data systems across the bureaucracy. That included agencies like the IRS, the Department of State, the Social Security Administration, the Department of Justice, and even military research offices.

Through those systems, vast databases became accessible, containing financial records, intelligence information, and biometric data.

Andrew also described how the program connected into communication infrastructure used between government agencies, giving it visibility into internal conversations and data exchanges.

Taken together, he believes the pattern points to something far bigger than a government efficiency project.

Instead, the initiative appears to have created a centralized technological layer sitting above multiple federal systems.

As he described it, “DOGE is a layer on top of all of this.”

Next, Andrew pointed to a document he believes reveals the long-term objective behind these developments.

The report, produced for Congress by the U.S.–China Economic Security Review Commission, outlines something striking: a massive national program modeled after the Manhattan Project.

But this time, the goal isn’t nuclear weapons. It’s Artificial General Intelligence.

Reading directly from the report, Andrew highlighted language describing AGI systems capable of performing tasks “better than human capabilities across all cognitive domains.” In practical terms, that would mean machines surpassing even the most advanced human minds across nearly every intellectual activity.

He also underscored the historical weight of the comparison.

The original Manhattan Project produced the first atomic weapons and permanently reshaped the global balance of power.

Now, Andrew suggested, policymakers appear to be pursuing a similar kind of race, only this time centered on artificial intelligence supremacy.

The proposal itself openly calls for “a Manhattan Project-like program dedicated to racing to acquire an artificial general intelligence capability.”

The conversation then widened to the global geopolitical stakes tied to artificial intelligence.

According to Andrew, the race for rare earth minerals is rapidly replacing oil as the primary driver of international conflict.

These minerals are essential for semiconductors, advanced computing hardware, and the massive data infrastructure needed to power AI systems. Rare earth elements and related critical minerals are key components in AI chips and high-performance electronics because they enhance magnetic, optical, and electrical properties used in advanced computing hardware.

Andrew pointed to new deposits discovered in Iran, along with mineral resources in places like Greenland and Venezuela, as possible explanations for several recent geopolitical flashpoints.

Those resources, he argued, are critical to building the next generation of data centers and AI computing power.

When viewed through that lens, developments such as regime change efforts, international agreements, and economic pressure campaigns begin to look less random and more strategic.

In Andrew’s view, the global competition is no longer centered on traditional energy markets.

Instead, the real battle may be over the materials needed to build the next generation of artificial intelligence systems.

As he put it, “oil is out, rare earth minerals are in.”

Andrew closed the interview by stepping back and reflecting on the bigger picture behind everything he had uncovered.

Taken together, the developments he mapped point to the emergence of a new technological power structure where government agencies, military institutions, corporations, and artificial intelligence systems operate within the same interconnected framework.

In this environment, enormous amounts of government data flow into centralized systems capable of analyzing and acting on that information at unprecedented speed.

Andrew warned that infrastructure currently used for immigration enforcement and national security could eventually extend far beyond those purposes.

Once a system like this is in place, he suggested, there may be little preventing it from being applied to citizens as well.

Meanwhile, the entire structure is forming amid an intensifying global competition with China over technological dominance.

That race could ultimately determine who controls the future of artificial intelligence.

In Andrew’s view, the system now taking shape brings government power, military capability, corporate influence, and artificial intelligence together into a single force competing to shape the next era of global power.

Tamar, a young woman who is half Israeli and half Iranian, has become a globally recognized character in recent years through the successful series Tehran, much of which was filmed in Athens. That is the television reality.

In real life, Efrat is also a woman who was born, raised, and started a family in Israel, although her roots are from Iran. Having just survived—with her husband and two children—a missile attack from Tehran on the city of Beersheba, she spoke to us about her life after October 2023. She expressed confidence in what the Israeli government and military are doing to protect citizens, discussed the difficulties Israelis face traveling abroad, and even shared her prediction for Israel’s elections scheduled for October.

“I feel that the Israeli government and the IDF protect everyone, it doesn’t matter if they are Muslims or Christians—they protect everyone, they protect all ten million people in Israel. Here” (she points to a crater caused by an Iranian missile near her home) “God helped us. We were lucky no one was seriously injured. I thought this was the end. Now, I have more confidence with the Israeli forces on our side,” she said, speaking about the sense of trust Israelis have in their government and military.

Referring to how life in Israel has changed after October 2023, Efrat, who works as a teacher, emphasized that reality is different from what the media may portray:

“First, I feel that the reality in Israel, on the streets and among the people, is not what most people think. Everyone says we hit Gaza, we hit Iran. But we do it to protect ourselves. Of course, we don’t want war, but what our government does is protect Israeli citizens. This war is very hard for us. I don’t even have a safe spot in my own home. I’m afraid—for myself and my children. We are waiting for this war to end. I don’t want another October 7 in Israel. We fear something similar might happen again from the Iranians’ side.”

“We don’t feel safe anywhere outside Israel”

Efrat also spoke about how Israelis are treated around the world after October 7 and the response of the government and military with strikes in Gaza:

“It’s very difficult after 2023. No Jew can feel safe anywhere in the world except in Israel. Across the world, they hate us, just because we are Jewish. So only here do we feel safe. I cannot live in Australia, Canada, Europe… only here,” she said.

She also spoke about her roots: although she was born and raised in Israel, her mother’s family comes from Iran:

“My father’s family came from Tunisia, my mother’s family came from Iran, at a time when people from North Africa came here. They settled here… I really want to go to Tunisia with my father, I really want to go to Iran with my mother one day. I believe it will happen. People from Iran send me messages. They really hope it too. My students ask me, if my father is from Tunisia and my mother from Iran, then why are you here? I tell them this is my country,” she said.

When asked how she feels about what people living in Iran are going through now, she added:

“When I see citizens in Iran being injured, it hurts me. But the Iranian government is also attacking its own citizens. I expected the U.S. and Israel to unite and do something—we all expected it—to help them.”

“Bibi will come out again”

Finally, when asked to predict the next elections in Israel, she said:

“Bibi will come out again because he struck Iran. I never voted for him, but all the citizens in Israel feel good about him because he protects us from Iran. I’m still afraid of their nuclear weapons. I don’t know if we can handle it.”

The President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, warned that Ankara “will show no negligence in protecting the country’s security,” following the launch of a missile from Iran toward Turkey. He emphasized that the government is taking all necessary measures in coordination with its allies and is closely monitoring developments.

The Turkish president sent a message that Ankara is fully prepared to face the risks arising from regional escalation and that the government’s priority is the protection of the country’s security and its citizens.

“Missiles and kamikaze drones sent by Iran to other countries in the region increase the risk of spreading the conflict over a much larger area. There will be no negligence or hesitation regarding the security of our borders and airspace. In the event that a threat arises to our country’s security, we take all necessary measures in coordination with our allies,” he stressed, while sending a new message to Tehran.

“Yesterday’s events demonstrated how sensitive the situation is. We warned that a similar incident must not be repeated. We emphasized the importance of recognizing the value of Turkey’s friendship,” he conveyed.

Erdogan stated that Turkey seeks peace in the region, while underlining that the government will take all necessary measures to protect the country and its people.

“It is evident that from day one, as a country and a nation, we have strived for peace, and no one should adopt a stance that harms relations of neighborliness and brotherhood.

Our citizens must be assured that our government, as it did during the war between Russia and Ukraine, now entering its fifth year, is doing everything necessary with its experienced and capable personnel to protect our country and nation from every danger.

We follow a sensitive policy centered on the security of our 86 million citizens. We hope to maintain this stance until the end.”

Concerns over regional escalation
Erdogan expressed concern about the tension that has arisen after airstrikes on Iran, claiming that the situation has dramatically worsened the security environment in the broader region.

“The international community, led by the Western world, once again merely observes the events. The airstrikes on our neighboring country, Iran, have led to a terrifying escalation of tensions in the region.

Hundreds of civilians, including innocent children, have lost their lives,” he noted.

Diplomatic contacts with leaders
At the same time, the Turkish president said that Ankara continues intensive diplomatic contacts with international leaders to de-escalate the regional tension.

“Our phone conversations continue nonstop. Today, we spoke with the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Enver Ibrahim, the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, and the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev.

I expressed to my brother Ilham our sorrow for today’s attack targeting the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, and we condemned the attack.”

Ankara’s multidimensional diplomacy
Erdoğan reiterated that Turkey will continue to pursue multidimensional diplomacy to prevent further bloodshed.

“We will continue the multidimensional diplomacy we practice, aiming to prevent more blood from being spilled in our region, to prevent the loss of more innocent lives, and to avoid escalation to a point of no return.

No one should worry—God willing, Turkey will emerge successfully from this regional turmoil.”

Iran’s state TV said that unmanned aerial vehicles from the Revolutionary Guards—the country’s ideological military force—hit the U.S. aircraft carrier “Abraham Lincoln,” which has been deployed in the Gulf region since late January.

The broadcast provided no further details.

On Monday, the Guards claimed they had struck the aircraft carrier with four missiles, something the U.S. military’s Central Command for the Middle East (CENTCOM) described as a “lie.”

Moments ago Bloomberg reported that Trump has named Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) to replace Noem.

Trump posted the following on Truth Social:

“I am pleased to announce that the Highly Respected United States Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), effective March 31, 2026. The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. I thank Kristi for her service at ‘Homeland.’

Serving 10 years in the United States House of Representatives, and 3 in the Senate, Markwayne has done a tremendous job representing the wonderful People of Oklahoma, where I won all 77 out of 77 Counties — in 2016, 2020, and 2024! A MAGA Warrior, and former undefeated professional MMA fighter, Markwayne truly gets along well with people, and knows the Wisdom and Courage required to Advance our America First Agenda. As the only Native American in the Senate, Markwayne is a fantastic advocate for our incredible Tribal Communities. Markwayne will work tirelessly to Keep our Border Secure, Stop Migrant Crime, Murderers, and other Criminals from illegally entering our Country, End the Scourge of Illegal Drugs and, MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN. Markwayne will make a spectacular Secretary of Homeland Security. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP”

President Donald Trump is preparing to fire Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem amid growing frustration over her self-promotional leadership style and bruising congressional testimony this week, according to multiple reports.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) described Trump as “pissed,” according to NBC News.

Trump’s dissatisfaction has intensified following Noem’s appearance Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where she faced sharp bipartisan criticism over her handling of department matters, including a high-profile advertising initiative, the Wall Street Journal reports.

An unnamed adviser to Trump described the hearing as particularly damaging, highlighting widespread discontent with her stewardship of the agency, the Journal said.

A key point of contention has been Noem’s decision to allocate approximately $200 million for a taxpayer-funded advertising campaign urging undocumented immigrants to self-deport, with promotional materials prominently featuring the secretary herself. White House aides said the president had long viewed the effort as overly self-promotional.

During the hearing, Noem claimed that Trump had approved the campaign in advance – a claim that drew further ire from the president, who has told advisers and others that he did not sign off on it.

Adding to the tensions, Noem was grilled Wednesday by House Judiciary Committee members over rumors of a romantic relationship with Corey Lewandowski, a longtime Trump ally who serves as an unpaid adviser at the department.

The Daily Mail has reported that Noem and Lewandowski, both married, have been engaged in an extramarital affair – a claim they have repeatedly denied.

In a heated exchange, Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA) point blank asked Noem under oath if she was engaged in sexual relations with Lewandowski.

A furious Noem refused to directly answer, calling the question “tabloid garbage” and “offensive.” When pressed further, she reiterated that it was “garbage.”

Meanwhile, NBC News reports Trump has begun soliciting suggestions from aides and Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill for potential successors. Among the names that have surfaced in White House conversations are Republican Sens. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) and Steve Daines (R-MT),who announced Wednesday that he will not seek reelection, according to NBC News.

Noem made headlines last week when she claimed that DHS staffers had installed spyware on her phone and computer, as well as on devices belonging to other political appointees.

“You wouldn’t even believe what I’ve found since I’ve been in this department,” Noem told conservative podcaster Patrick Bet-David.

Noem said she discovered the spyware last year with the assistance of former DOGE chief Elon Musk and his team.
Noem then told Bet-David that the secret files were turned over to attorneys for review.

The DHS secretary went on to say she has seen “eye-opening” data from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the National Laboratories regarding the scientists who traveled to the infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology in China to conduct gain-of-function experiments on coronaviruses.

“It was eye-opening,” she said.

Western officials told the Financial Times that a series of Israeli–American strikes has had a clear impact on the capabilities of Iran’s ballistic missile program. They noted that the frequency of missile launches has decreased since the start of the war last Saturday.

The officials said the strategy of Washington, D.C. and Tel Aviv—using military aircraft to monitor and destroy missile launchers (Israel said today it has destroyed about 300) and weapons stockpiles inside Iran—appears to be working.

“We’re beginning to see a reduction in Iranian missile attacks, and that’s due to the work the U.S. and Israel are doing to destroy those launchers and strike these systems,” one official told the newspaper.
“However, we estimate that Iran still has several days of capability left to continue its operations.”

— Iran Observer (@IranObserver0) March 25, 2025

Former British government intelligence adviser Lynette Nusbacher said the drop in Iranian ballistic missile launches may be because it has become more difficult for the country to fire them.

“Iranian missile commanders launch, relocate, set up, refuel and launch again as quickly as they can. The problem is that what they could once do quickly has now become slower,” she said.
“The Americans and Israelis destroyed launch platforms, missiles, liquid rocket fuel and the diesel used to power launch platforms. All of that has been depleted.”

Could this be a strategic maneuver by Tehran?

However, the newspaper points to another possible scenario: the reduced rate of missile launches “may be a deliberate Iranian strategy to preserve its ammunition for a longer war.”

Israeli military officials described Iran’s slow but steady missile launches on Saturday as a “cloud strategy,” suggesting they are designed to wear down interceptor missiles used in air-defense systems.

“The reduction in launch rates may indicate a policy of conserving them, similar to what we saw at the end of last June’s war” between Israel and Iran, one analyst commented.

In fact, the low launch rate could itself be a “war strategy,” according to Decker Eveleth, an analyst at the Center for Naval Analyses. However, he said Iran “had few options other than to adopt this approach,” noting that “this is not a strategy of choice; it is the only available strategy given the likely lack of launch platforms and the failure to secure its airspace.”

In the same context, Fabian Hoffmann, a researcher at the University of Oslo, said:
“I tend to believe that Iran’s launch capability has most likely been severely damaged,” adding that the sharp decline in launches seen in the statistics is too abrupt to be merely tactical.

With ballistic missile launches decreasing, Tehran now appears to be relying more heavily on low-cost Shahed “suicide drones.” These attack drones can easily be hidden and launched from almost anywhere, making them less vulnerable to military strikes by the United States and Israel.

Data compiled by the Institute for National Security Studies show that Iran has already launched 571 missiles and 1,391 drones since the start of the conflict, many of which have been intercepted by air-defense systems belonging to the United States, Israel and Gulf countries.
