I am not at all surprised about this. I can’t afford to be a paid subscriber. I wish I could. I am one of those people that Trump and his regime find worthless. I am desperately tiring to survive on social security. Thank you for being so informative.

For a moment I thought maybe I was reading my own post, since living on SS & can't afford ANY donations/contributions to anyone. Added to that, I happen to have a car that runs on diesel (happened to be a 12-year-old gift, but still.....)

Wow. I'd been talking about the parallels between this company, who hijacked JRR Tolkien's idea of, and term Palantiri, and the actual book "The Silmarillion." However, now that I've followed the I've read the letter written by former employees, attempting to blow the whistle (whose link the author provides), I cannot believe how much of a parallel there actually is.

Peter Thiele is basically replicating the folly of Morgoth, his theft and corruption of the Silmarilli (in the book "The Silmarillion") and later Sauron's theft and corrupt usage of the Palantiri; the seven stones that were used for communication and sight--both through space and time, in the book.

It's too bad, that Thiele et. al., never paid attention to Tolkien's words of wisdom and of warning. Or they did, and chose the role of the villains, maybe foolishly figuring they could succeed where Morgoth and Sauron did not. I'm quite certain Tolkien would not agree, and may even laugh at such a foolish notion. As what these idiots don't seem to ever get into their thick skulls, is that when choosing such a path, both "success" and failure lead to failure. But greed renders them blind, hubris renders them deaf, and power renders them dumb--they can't help it.

Thanks for pointing out this letter for me. As it further corroborates my research into, and assumptions about Palatir, and just how corrupt and dangerous an entity it be.

This is the problem of government surrendering power to corporations, made exponentially more dangerous with rise of these tech companies that have unhindered access to so much of our data. There is no industry requiring more guardrails that these tech industries; even more so than the energy and financial sectors, maybe even more than the military sector-- though all are connected, and all extremely dangerous, when left without oversight.

But now, everything is flipped on it's head; they have near complete transparency to the public--a place they shouldn't--while THEY hide and render themselves opaque to the public.

It would seem, that we only divorced the church, to then to get remarried to the Corporation. These entities need to be seperated--and here I begin to feel like a broken record. If power isn't restored to the public, it won't take long before our specie falls to calamity and, at best, near extinction; as these entities are akin to a black hole or locusts, when it comes to resources, and they wreck all things essential for life. In this sense, the seperation is obviously best for everyone, including themselves. However, the "ruling elite" are far too inebriated on wealth and power to ever see or understand this, and humans, are not good at relinquishing power--particularly those greedily seek it--unless they are made to. As no matter how obvious the problems are, they will continue to double down--like "gambleholics."

People must rise and resist in every way or shape possible; As the people must take back what they had let slip, through passivity. We are fast approaching the time when we could be confident in that we have nothing left to lose. I would advise action before reaching that critical point.

"Thiel wrote ... that he no longer believes freedom and democracy are compatible. He is a devoted patron of Curtis Yarvin, the political theorist who argues democracy should be replaced by corporate monarchy — a CEO-king with absolute authority."

Perhaps we should change our name to the "United States of Palantir" to make our technofascist overlords happy? Or not. It's time to outlaw all the corporate fascists who have invaded our government... Time to outlaw all corporate money pouring into Congress members' coffers, too.

End Citizens United Supreme Court decision ! That was the noose on our democracy and the beginning of cooperate fascism.

Very wise and the right plan! This we need to demand from our political representatives and do as Bernie tried a grass root movement positioning our people in our Governments to win back the house. We need to share this knowledge to everyone so that they get out of the hidden rooms and get exposed to what they really are. And push for justice and equality

All of us can take a stand against what’s happening in the dystopian world of high tech, specifically LLMs, such as ChatGPT, whose founding company, Open AI is openly working to integrate surveillance and automated weaponry into the US military.

It really is worse than it seemed even on a dark day isn't it. We all need to speak up against Palantir and this war-crazed control group at every opportunity. Thanks for the update Guy

How does asking people to act, but not giving suggestions as what to do, help stop anything? I think that those who will take on the acts are likely not online. That would be the smart thing to do, and place to be.

Nevertheless, for those of us who are here, we need to ask that age old question, "what then must we do?"

Bob Martin's avatar

The first step is education and awareness. Guy has provided that (and writing an article like this article is a lot of work.) Why don't you yourself suggest a plan?

I understand the Humans living under the zio-eipstein regime pay taxes which go to fund their illegal wars, so they rob resources globally. And, through the "fake dollar" machine, we , Humans globally also pay to fund that regime. So, it is time we dismantle their money making machinery.

Data centers are the lynch pins in this technocratic dystopia.

Guy, your forensic mapping of the Palantir/Oracle/In-Q-Tel architecture is brilliant. You are one of the few looking at the actual wiring of the transition, rather than the political theater. I myself have been mapping these exact connections over the last three months.

But your conclusion that we must not stay silent is a 20th-century tactic deployed against a 21st-century system.

You correctly identified that they use the chaos of bombing campaigns to generate the movement data required to train their targeting algorithms. What you are missing is that they do the exact same thing with our domestic outrage.

When you use the platforms they control to speak up against them, you are not resisting; you are providing them with free sentiment analysis. You are mapping your own dissident social graph for the very systems (Gotham/NSPM-7) you are trying to fight. You are feeding the beast its favorite diet: Engagement Data.

They are not building "Fascism", which requires mobilizing the masses. They are building Techno-Feudalism, which requires demobilizing the masses into predictable, manageable data streams. What Carl Schmitt called depoliticization.

The solution is not to shout louder into a microphone owned by Peter Thiel or Larry Ellison. The solution is parallel construction.

We must stop fighting them on their servers and start building the Shadow Stack: Off-grid mesh networks, local/distributed LLMs, and cryptographic autonomy. You cannot vote out or out-protest a cartel that owns the physical infrastructure of reality. You can only render them obsolete by building parallel systems they cannot monitor or control.

P.S.

The most interesting document in the Epstein files, EFTA00974587, does not mention Peter Thiel directly but maps the cage perfectly.
