19. I have curated them...

I am an academic and researcher by my old profession.

I also wanted some answers as to WTF is behind what's going on. I have been reading, digging and compiling since the election.

I do t want to sound like a commercial, but Notebook LM is extraordinarily useful for academics and researchers. For example let me describe another project I used it for in recent years. I have written a number of research papers about Foucauldian epistemics in Jacobean drama. i wanted to explore similar angles in Shakespeare, so essentially you compile and upload primary and secondary sources which in this case was related to Foucault's epistemics, renaissance drama, and Romeo.and Juliet. Once you have set your research, you can poke the pile (the AI) for ideas, guidance, information. I can tell it to use one particular aspect of Foucault and find possible examples in the play. The software is literally one of the best examples of how AI tools will enhance and value work in future.

For my techno fascism project, I have been collecting a lot of material from sources like the Guardian, the Economist, WSJ, known newspapers, primary sources from people like Yarvin, Land, and JD Vance, the Complete text of Project 2025 as just a few examples. Like I said, I am still unsure what I will do with it. I am still researching and poking about. I may very well drop it as a YouTube video just to get the info out there.
