PART II: Surveillance, AI, and the Invisible Chains Shaping Our Future :The New, New World of Blackness
In Part 2 of The Black Sub-World Podcast, DeWayne R. Stallworth takes us deeper into the systems quietly shaping our world —from DARPA’s experiments and Snowden’s revelations to the military-industrial complex, corporate power, and AI itself. We explore how technology, algorithms, and surveillance tools are controlling movement, thought, and opportunity — particularly in Black communities.
Linking historical patterns like COINTELPRO to modern digital infrastructures, this episode reveals how control evolves but remains rooted in power and extraction. Yet it’s not just a warning — Stallworth illuminates pathways of awareness, resistance, and agency, showing how critical thinking, community, and consciousness can be wielded to survive and thrive in the Age of AI.
