    Trump’s Unholy Alliance

    ByPaul Jay

    When we first produced “Trump’s Unholy Alliance” in late 2024, our goal was to expose the structural roots of a movement that many dismissed as mere political theater. Today, the convergence of Christian Nationalism, Silicon Valley billionaires, and the militarization of AI has moved from the campaign trail into the core of the state apparatus. We are republishing this documentary now because the “strange cabal” we identified then is no longer a warning—it is the governing reality.

    The Pillars of the Alliance

    Christian Nationalism: The film explores how “crusader” rhetoric provides moral cover for a radical restructuring of society. This ideology, championed by figures like JD Vance, seeks a return to a “pre-New Deal” era, dismantling the administrative state in favor of hard-right religious values.

    The Peter Thiel Blueprint: We examine the influence of the “techno-philosopher king” who famously declared that freedom and democracy are no longer compatible. His vision for a corporate model of governance—where the state is run by an unelected board of directors—is now a blueprint for modern power.

    The Militarization of AI: The documentary traces the dangerous rush to integrate artificial intelligence into the military-industrial complex. Companies like Palantir are betting on a world of “all-domain” warfare, pushing us toward a high-tech arms race that risks a global, automated catastrophe.

  • From DC Streets to Gaza’s Ruins: Inside Trump’s Unholy Alliance

    ByPaul Jay

    On August 12, 2025, Donald Trump sent the National Guard into Washington, D.C., just months after deploying troops and Marines into Los Angeles. While militarizing U.S. cities, he stands by as a genocide unfolds in Gaza — shielding Israel diplomatically while U.S. defense contractors profit.

    This republished investigation, Trump’s Unholy Alliance, exposes the billionaire-tech, Christian nationalist, and far-right networks behind Trump’s rise. They plan to weaken — or dismantle — what’s left of American democracy. From Peter Thiel’s Palantir AI systems aiding Gaza airstrikes, to Lockheed Martin’s jets and bombs, these same firms stand to cash in on Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile defense and militarization of space — a project that could make nuclear war more likely.

    January 6 was only the rehearsal. This is the playbook — at home, abroad, and in orbit.

    Watch the full investigation now.

  • Trump’s Unholy Alliance – (Full Version)

    ByPaul Jay

    Above is our short documentary film, “Trump’s Unholy Alliance.” Generous individual donors funded it. It is not associated or aligned with the Democratic Party. It is released for educational purposes because mainstream media mostly ignores these critical issues. We are not suggesting how, or even if, you should vote.

    Paul Jay is a veteran independent journalist and filmmaker. He is best known for his film “Hitman Hart, wrestling with shadows,” which Jordan B. Peterson called “one of the best documentaries about anything I have ever seen.” Terry Bollea (Hulk Hogan) said the film is “brutally honest. A must see.” This is not to suggest that either gentleman endorses “Trump’s Unholy Alliance.”  On the contrary, we expect they would both disagree with most of what you will see. Watch and judge for yourself.

  • Which Billionaires Are Pulling Trump’s Strings?

    ByThomas Hedges

    Donald Trump called himself a “self-funder” in 2016 in an effort to show Americans he could not be bought off like the rest of Washington. Eight years later, Trump has yet to pledge even a dime of his own money to his campaign, instead relying heavily on the big-money donors he said could never influence him as president.

    Uphill on the Hill

    ByBelly of the Beast Cuba

    Liz Oliva Fernández travels to Washington, D.C., to find out why Joe Biden has embraced Donald Trump’s Cold War-era policy toward Cuba, devastating the island’s economy and fueling unprecedented migration to the U.S. border with Mexico. Oliva Fernández interviews Rep. Jim McGovern, former CIA analyst Fulton Armstrong, and Cuban-American business executive Carlos Gutiérrez, who served as Secretary of Commerce under George W. Bush. Oliva Fernández shows how a handful of extremist Cuban-American politicians have dictated U.S. policy towards Cuba, including designating Cuba a State Sponsor of Terrorism without any evidence. This video was produced by Belly of the Beast Cuba.

    Mini Doc: Gore Vidal’s History of the National Security State

    ByPaul Jay

    When Julian Assange was arrested, he was holding up a copy of Paul Jay’s book, “Gore Vidal’s History of the National Security State.” This mini-documentary is the original 2005 interview with Vidal, upon which the book is based. We republish it now as a way of protesting the persecution of Assange and the threat to what’s left of press freedom in the United States.

    The War on Cuba Episode 4

    ByBelly of the Beast Cuba

    Cuban journalist Liz Oliva Fernández investigates the mysterious health incidents reported by U.S. diplomatic personnel in Havana in 2017. The incidents — characterized as “sonic attacks,” “microwave attacks” and the “Havana Syndrome” — led to the shuttering of the U.S. Embassy and opened the doors to a barrage of devastating sanctions imposed by Trump and maintained by Biden. Liz interviews scientists from both countries who dismantle the theory that U.S. personnel were attacked. She shows how major media outlets fanned the flames of hysteria and speaks with the Cuban families separated by the near total closure of U.S. consular services.

  • Hitman Hart: Wrestling With Shadows

    ByPaul Jay

    Bret Hart, five times’ champion of the World Wrestling Federation, sits in a hotel room – one day before the most important fight of his life. Sure, it’s just professional wrestling, but this match is different. It will be Bret’s last in the WWF, a company for whom he’s been the top guy and loyal champion for years. The owner of the company, the legendary Vince McMahon, want’s him out, only months after signing an unprecedented twenty years contract.

    Now he want’s him to lose his final match as well. It’s not just another wrestling show for Bret. This fight will determine how his character ‘The Hitman’, wrestling’s favorite good guy for the last decade, will be remembered. Sitting in a hotel room, one day before the match. What Bret doesn’t know, is that he will be the target of the biggest double cross in the history of professional wrestling.

    Over the span of one year, an award winning documentary film crew followed Bret Hart. They hoped for an unprecedented look behind the scenes of the WWF. What they got was the most dramatic story in the history of wrestling. HITMAN HART is a story about loyalty and betrayal, money and greed, dignity and disgrace. It’s about fathers and sons, fans and icons, and keeping one’s integrity in a world of moral uncertainty. In a word, it’s a film about being human.
