oh awesome, Palantir, the same company profiting off the genocide in Gaza
CEO Alex Karp has been a vocal supporter of Israel. In November 2023, he stated, “I am proud that we are supporting Israel in every way we can.”
After October 2023, Palantir has provided Israel with multiple AI-powered data analytics tools for military and intelligence purposes.
In January 2024, Palantir held its board meeting in Israel and entered into a “strategic partnership” with Israel’s Ministry of Defense to help Israel’s “war effort.”
In October 2024, Norway’s largest asset manager, Storebrand, divested its Palantir shares, worth $24 million, due to concerns that Palantir’s work for Israel might implicate Storebrand in violations of international humanitarian law and human rights.
The Palantir tools were used to analyze the data trove that Microsoft was hosting for Israel. It contained all of the cellular data (metadata and call recording/MMS contents/data traffic) for the entirety of Palestine.
That tool’s detection of ‘terrorists’ was used to justify a massive portion of the air strikes on Palestine. Their beta test resulted in a genocide.
Palantir is complicit in war crimes and genocide, never forget that.
Now the fascists are using the terrorist language to target their political opponents in the US and using the same tools of genocide.
HOW is a Private Company like PALANTIR able to Get such SENSITIVE information Though?
-People who Get Upset at Privacy because they have Nothing To Hide TM!
Seems like Doge might have been setup to facilitate this. They are cross referencing data from the HHS database. Big Brother.
The actual point of DOGE was to just backdoor and/or datadump as many government databases as possible and give them to Palantir. That’s it. That was the entire point. Everything else was simply theatrics.
Also firing all the agencies and agents investigating him.
The OMB was really behind the firings, and Russell Vought is still there and still in charge.
And he’s a Christo-fascist from childhood.

Don’t forget completely fucking government contractors.
And to just stoke Elon’s ego in letting him have his own fake agency and show people that they can fuck with the economy and suffer jo consequences whatsoever.
Fucking hate how these shitheads take words from Tolkien’s works and bastardise them. Palantir, Anduril.
What’s next, a social credit system named “Silmaril”? An organisation that harvests the organs of homeless called “Rivendell”?
Just fucking stop.
Tolkein’s idyllic structure for a society, the shire, is frequently analyzed through a lens of “is this anarchism?” and it’s not all that uncommon to conclude “yes”
all these fuckers read Tolkien and adopted the imagery of the villains. none of them realize that the message is that all the top level people are addicted to power. the people who actually get shit done, the hobbits, they are tempted by power because it’s tempting, but ultimately value singing songs, making tea, and eating potatoes too much to want to possess the ultimate power in the universe. almost everyone who comes into contact with the one ring wants to possess it forever. Bilbo’s first desire for it is to use it to help him escape a dangerous situation. Frodo is indifferent to it at first. Sam immediately hates it, feels guilt for letting Frodo carry it alone, and commits himself to destroying it.
You’re not supposed to read Tolkien and implement fascism. you’re supposed to read Tolkien and learn to value pacifism
I mean… Palantir showed Denethor false images of doom and despair fed by Sauron. It drove him to become a completely mad tyrant.
I think Palantir is a very apt name. They just don’t realise why.
Let’s give credit where credit is due - This is what the GOP wants. They have complete ownership of ICE’s terrorist activities and applaud what is being done.
Republicans could reign this in in a couple of days if ICE didn’t have their blessing. The same is true if our corporate/billionaire media began referring to what’s happening as GOP, rather than ICE activity.
This is also what the DNC wants. Vote socialist.
Meanwhile my dad: ‘you should really invest in this company Palantir’…
My brother is a total Palintir supporter because he sees his stocks rising. I tell him he’s supporting evil but he says their CEO is a Democrat and has nothing to do with Thiel🙄. Like most Americans he’s ok with evil if it pays well.
The CEO is insane. He apparently self-describes himself as a socialist but is the highest paid CEO on earth and fantasises about dumping cyanide-laced urine on people protesting state-backed brutality
