DEEPCAPTURE

The Deep Capture website was created to bypass the “captured” institutions that mediate their nation’s discourse. It was initially funded by Patrick Byrne, CEO of Overstock.com, but it is not part of Overstock. It functions as a separate, limited liability media company, whose co-owners and managers are Evren Karpak and Mark Mitchell (former partner Judd Bagley having left the organization upon returning to work at Overstock.com in 2010) . Public choice theory describes a phenomenon whe... reby industries take control of, or “capture”, regulators who are supposed to oversee them. The claim of this website is that powerful actors have been able to influence or take control of not just the regulators, but also law enforcement, elected officials, national media, and the intellectual establishment.More
