Author and GAI Director of Research Seamus Bruner joined Jimmy Lakey on Lakey Unleashed to unpack the billionaire money trail behind what he calls the “small town protest.”
Bruner, author of Controligarchs, explained how billionaires like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos use their massive fortunes to shape daily life — not just through technology, but through environmental policy and global influence.
He tied that same theme to his work at the Government Accountability Institute, where he’s been mapping how elite donor networks and nonprofits quietly bankroll the unrest spreading across the country.
Bruner refers to this ecosystem as “Riot Inc.”
“Riot Inc. is like any other corporation,” Bruner said. “It has many divisions, including a PR and communications division, and a lot of these people in the corporate press are running as a PR division … they’re covering up for the funding mechanism.”
Bruner continued: “There’s a whole chapter in Controligarchs on mainstream mind control and how these people in the mainstream media work to control your mind and gaslight you.”
According to Bruner, the pattern is clear: a web of nonprofits, bail funds, and dark-money groups working in tandem to fuel protests, fund chaos, and shield participants from accountability.
Bruner’s warning is simple — the same billionaires shaping your digital life are also underwriting the street-level unrest threatening America’s social fabric.

Imagine a world in which you own nothing and rent everything. Most of the protein in your diet comes from bugs. You are not allowed to have more than one child, and your financial and medical data are instantly transferred to a centralized government database via a subdermal microchip.
Controligarchs warns that this will be our existence if the supranational elites of the World Economic Forum get their way.
In this book, investigative journalist Seamus Bruner—who led the teams whose findings sparked multiple FBI investigations and congressional probes into the Clintons and the Bidens—exposes the billionaires who control the levers of power that dominate every aspect of your life.
Based on a mountain of financial filings, insider documents, and corporate records, Controligarchs rips back the curtain on never-before-published revelations about the life-altering schemes that globalist elites have in store for you. This book is a must-read for anyone who values American independence and personal freedom.
