Devolution Power Hour Ep. 406: Cracks in the Empire

In this wide-ranging episode, Jon Herold and Burning Bright dissect the fractures appearing across the global power structure, from the unraveling narratives of the New York Times to troubling signals inside the intelligence community. The hosts examine the growing tension around Julian Assange, the CIA’s tightening grip over information, and the coordinated foreign influence shaping American media. They unpack the shifting landscape of global alliances, the panic spreading through legacy institutions, and the rising desperation of those who built the current system. With trademark clarity and sharp analysis, Jon and BB explore how propaganda, censorship, and geopolitical strategy are converging, and why the establishment is suddenly losing its ability to control the story. A fast-paced, high-level breakdown of a world order showing signs of collapse.
