History is full of hidden power players, and eunuchs were among the most influential. In this episode of Terrified Nation, Debilyn Molineaux explores how these unlikely figures shaped empires, led military expeditions, and influenced religious institutions. From Zheng He, the admiral who commanded China’s greatest fleet, to Eutropius, a eunuch who ruled the Eastern Roman Empire, and Eusebius of Caesarea, who shaped Christianity’s future—these figures wielded immense power despite being seen as outsiders.
But this isn’t just about history—it’s about today. Debilyn asks: Who are the modern eunuchs of American society? Are they billionaire donors, media moguls, or bureaucratic insiders who quietly shape policy and public opinion? While they may not hold official titles, their influence is undeniable, and history warns us that their power can be both immense and fragile.
Tune in to this eye-opening episode as we uncover the unseen forces shaping America’s future and ask the critical question: Who truly holds power in our world today?
