Parallel Polis Podcast
A “Parallel Polis” is an independent society built outside the control of corrupt institutions where truth, faith, and freedom can thrive. Join Andrew Torba, founder and CEO of Gab, for raw, unfiltered, stream-of-consciousness reflections on technology, culture, and building parallel systems for the glory of God.
The Parallel Polis Podcast isn’t scripted or polished, it’s real. It’s one man thinking out loud about where the world is headed, what we’re building to resist it, and how faith shapes it all. From Silicon Valley to the digital wilderness, Andrew shares insights from the front lines of the fight for free speech, Christian technology, and cultural renewal.
Think of it as a weekly fireside chat for builders, believers, and anyone tired of the noise.

Why Sovereignty is the Only Fight That Matters
What if the most important divide in American life isn’t left or right, but whether we still govern ourselves at all? We pull on a single thread—sovereignty—and watch how it explains the fractures you feel every day: priorities set far from home, speech boundaries drawn by fear, and policies that seem to serve unseen hands. Instead of treating corruption as a few bad actors, we examine the mechanism of leverage and secrecy that can bend institutions away from public consent and toward private control, and we ask what it would take to turn the lights on.
Across this conversation, we connect the dots between blackmail as political currency, the social penalties that police acceptable speech, and the incentives that keep records sealed when sunlight would clarify who serves whom. We look at how narratives shift from open debate to managed discourse, how reputational threats silence questions that voters deserve to ask, and why a republic cannot function when citizens are trained to fear honest inquiry. The result is a framework that makes sense of mismatched priorities: borders defended abroad while neglected at home, public money routed to distant projects, and classrooms that erode confidence rather than build civic memory.
But this isn’t just diagnosis. We lay out a path to renewal grounded in transparency and accountability: unsealing relevant records, enforcing disclosure and conflict rules, protecting unpopular speech, and insisting that standards apply evenly across allies and opponents. Self-government demands leaders who fear voter judgment more than private pressure—and citizens willing to protect the debate that keeps power honest. If sovereignty is the measure, then exposure, audits, and equal rules are the tools.
Hear the case, test it, and decide where you stand. If this conversation moves you, follow the show, share it with a friend who cares about self-rule, and leave a review to help others find it. Your voice is the sunlight.
Why sovereignty is the only fight that matters? Sovereignty is at the core of what America is. It is the idea that we are a self-governing people and not subjects of foreign kings or foreign spy masters. When we lose that, America ceases to be America. Every fracture in our culture and every betrayal by our leaders stems from the surrender of our sovereign national soul. And this is why the Epstein Files are the key to understanding the mechanism of our subjugation and about reclaiming our sovereignty. They show us the faces of the men and women who sold us out. They reveal the true owners of this captured operation that we call a nation. And that's why they will fight to the death to keep them sealed. Not to protect national security or protect innocent people, but rather to protect the blackmail network itself. They want to keep the parasite alive. And that's exactly what this is. It's a parasitic intelligence apparatus that has attached itself to the heart of our nation and feeds on our sovereignty. You have to understand that parasites don't care about the health of the host. They weaken it, manipulate it, and make it serve the parasite's needs until the host is a hollowed-out husk. And that's what they've done to our country for decades. Our leaders no longer represent us. They represent the interests of the blackmailers who hold their leash. We all know this. We can see this very plainly. Our military doesn't defend our border, it secures the borders of a foreign power thousands of miles away. Our tax dollars don't rebuild our roads, they help destroy and then rebuild foreign ones. Our children don't learn about our history, they learn to hate themselves. All of this stems from the destruction of our national sovereignty. I don't know about you, but I'm sick and tired of being gaslit. I am sick and tired of being called an anti semi for daring to point out the obvious. The lies have reached their limit and the name calling is just not going to work anymore. They call it hatred when we speak the plain truth, stuff that everybody can see, it's plain as day. They call it bigotry when we demand that our nation comes before theirs. We are watching a hostile takeover of our nation's sovereignty, and they brand anyone who resists this as a heretic. And then they expect us to just sit down and shut up while they continue destroying our home. The core question of this moment is whether the American people will quietly accept the slow suffocation of our political voices by a small but powerful minority using threats, smears, and raw intimidation to control what can and cannot be said. These people weaponize language like anti-Semitism and hate speech to enforce obedience. Intimidation is their preferred tool. They threaten careers, bank accounts, reputations, and even personal safety. Their goal is nothing less than ideological monopoly. They seek to make certain ideas unspeakable, certain truths forbidden, and certain loyalties, like loyalty to one's own nation and one's own people, unacceptable. Free and open discourse, which is the very bedrock of our Republican society, is being systematically dismantled and replaced with a narrow managed narrative that serves foreign interests and not our own. Look no further than the deranged high priests of the Israeli first movement, Mark Levin and Josh Hammer, who preach that anti-Semitism is inherent in European DNA. It's a sickness in our blood. Seth Dillon labels us a cancer, while his publication, The Babylon Bee, makes a joke about something bad happening to critics like Meghan Kelly, only to later delete the post after severe backlash. This is the same pattern in playbook every single time with these people. They name call, they censor, they demonize, they threaten, all while simultaneously crying out in pain as they stab you in the back and play the victim. Let us be clear. Their allegiance is foreign. Their aim is our submission, and their method is to silence all dissent by smearing it as evil. We see their game for what it is, and we are not playing by their rules anymore. Our duty is to our people, our nation, the truth, and God, no matter what names they call us. The anti-Semite slur was their firewall protecting the most sophisticated foreign espionage operation ever run against America. You want to say that Israel spied on Trump in 2019, which actually happened? You're an anti-Semite. Have a problem with America sending billions of our tax dollars to Israel? You're an anti-Semite. Say that Epstein was clearly a Mossad honeypot, you're an anti-Semite. They don't call you that because you're wrong. They call you that because you're dangerously close to the truth. It's a magic word designed to shut down thought, to paralyze patriots, and to make decent Americans afraid to speak out about the parasites draining the lifeblood from our republic. We're done caring about their name calling. The question is no longer whether this is happening, but whether we have the courage to name it, reject it, and reclaim the full, unedited freedom to speak and think as free people. This isn't just about a few bad apples. This is about a foreign intelligence apparatus that has turned America into a captured operation. Epstein was their masterpiece, a blackmail factory that produced the currency to purchase our entire political system. The spiritual dimension here cannot be ignored. This is a war between light and darkness, between the God of the nations who establishes borders and calls peoples to account, and the Luciferian forces that trade in children's bodies. Our leaders have been initiated into a dark priesthood that demands they serve not the American people, but the global cabal that holds their blackmail files. The polls show that Americans are waking up. The young men and women who will inherit this broken nation increasingly see through these lies. They know that our greatest ally has become our greatest manipulator. This is the fight of our generation. Everything else is secondary. You cannot make America great again while our leaders are owned by foreign intelligence. The entire movement was built on the premise of accountability. You know, you can feel it in your gut when these politicians betray you with a smile, when billions flow to foreign wars while our heartland rots, when justice seems to have two standards. Deep in your spirit, you already know until we expose these people and until we free our republic from foreign control, everything else is a cruel illusion. The question isn't left versus right anymore. It's sovereignty versus servitude. This is the only fight that matters. This is American nationalism. This is the same standard we would apply to any foreign power that systematically blackmailed our leaders and hijacked our nation. They fear the moment that we stop caring about their labels and start demanding accountability. And that moment is now. I have faith in the American people. We faced down empires before. We have thrown off tyrants who thought that we were too weak or too divided or too corrupt to resist. The same spirit that moved through the farmers at Lexington and Concord moves through the forgotten men and women of this country today. We are waking up, we are remembering who we are, and we will reclaim what is ours. Until our nation is freed from the grasp of this parasite, nothing will change. Not the border, not the economy, not the culture, not the wars, not the drugs flowing through the streets or the poison flowing through our schools. The parasite controls the host. That's how parasites work. The only way to remove a parasite is to expose it to the sunlight, to cut off its supply lines, and to remove it root and branch. America cannot be great again until America is free. And America cannot be free while foreign intelligence agencies hold blackmail files on our leaders. It's that simple, it's that stark, and it's that non-negotiable. The MAGA movement was never about just one man, it was about a people reclaiming our birthright. But that birthright has been stolen by foreign powers that turn our leaders into traitors and our nation into a theater of the absurd. Enough. Expose the parasite, reclaim the host, and take back our birthright.
