You were told the enemy was foreign. That your government would protect you. That Big Tech’s only goal was convenience. You were lied to.
Right now—yes, this very moment—Palantir Technologies, a private, shadowy data-mining leviathan backed by billionaires and defence contractors, is gobbling up the private data of millions of American citizens. And guess what? It’s doing it with a government stamp of approval—and a $795 million taxpayer-funded cheque to boot.
You’ve heard of Palantir, haven’t you? Maybe not. That’s the point. This isn’t Facebook or Google. Palantir doesn’t care if you “like” cat videos. It cares if you attended a protest. If you’re behind on your taxes. If you hold what they would describe as “fringe” political views. If you once supported a “dissident” movement. If you ever dared to leak the truth.
And it’s not some baseless conspiracy theory. WikiLeaks has warned us—clearly, repeatedly, urgently—that Palantir is the spearhead of an American surveillance machine unlike anything seen before. They’re calling it a “spyware company.” They’re right.
The Trump administration, in its second term, has thrown the doors wide open for this digital dragon. Through an executive order signed in March, all government departments are now feeding their databases into one vast, unified pool—one Palantir can tap, sort, and weaponise. Social Security records. IRS filings. CDC health data. Defence intel. All flowing through Palantir’s AI-driven filters.
Yes, Trump did it. And I say this as someone who backed him through thick and thin. But this Palantir business is a fatal error for liberty.
As Jeffrey Tucker of the Brownstone Institute (that have done a great deal of work on COVID authoritarianism) warned just this week:
“Every new leadership in government that inherits that kind of disaster of the last five years is necessarily going to be squeezed between the legacy regime – including its vast bureaucracies and industrial interests – and the populist movements that put them in power. In these cases, the status quo usually proves irresistible but with disastrous consequences later.”
And that’s exactly the danger we’re staring down. Trump wasn’t supposed to prop up the old system—he was supposed to smash it. But with Palantir, he didn’t break the surveillance regime. He refined it. He expanded it. He fed it more data and more power than it ever had under Obama or Biden.
Now, many will ask—why is Trump doing this?
And the truth is, a lot of good is coming out of Palantir—especially through law enforcement. It’s being used to track illegal immigrants, dismantle sex trafficking rings, crush violent drug syndicates, and even streamline the D.C. bureaucracy that’s been choking America for decades. Trump sees that. And maybe, in the short term, he’s doing good.
But here’s the danger.
What happens after Trump? What happens when a future president—one who sees churchgoers, truth-tellers, or political dissidents as enemies—gets the keys to this surveillance empire? What happens when the system Trump thinks he’s using for good is reprogrammed against good people?
Because Palantir will outlive Trump. Its memory doesn’t end at the next election. It will be there, waiting, for whoever’s next. And if that someone sees liberty as a threat?
You’ll be in the crosshairs.
Palantir was born out of PayPal. Its founders—Peter Thiel and Alex Karp—took an anti-fraud algorithm and turned it into a military-grade crystal ball. They named it after the all-seeing stone from Lord of the Rings. A tool of surveillance. A tool of domination. Not even hiding their intentions.
But it didn’t rise from Silicon Valley on private dollars alone. **Palantir was seeded with early funding from In-Q-Tel—**the CIA’s own venture capital arm. That’s right: from day one, it’s been stitched into the bones of the American intelligence machine.
And one of the men at the helm, Alex Karp, openly brags about Palantir’s power not just to “disrupt,” but to “scare our enemies—and on occasion, kill them.” His words. Not mine.
Now that same tool is integrated into the U.S. government’s deepest vaults. It runs through Homeland Security. The Department of Defense. The CDC. ICE. And more agencies are lining up.
Palantir’s platform, Foundry, doesn’t just store your data. It analyses it. It predicts what you might do. It assigns risk. It flags “troublemakers.” This isn’t about catching criminals. This is about profiling the population—before anything happens. Pre-crime is no longer science fiction. It’s here. Former employees have confirmed it: whistleblowers are being tracked before they blow the whistle. Psychological dossiers are being assembled. Deportations are being prepped by algorithm.
It’s one thing when a rogue state does this. It’s another when the United States of America, the so-called “Land of the Free,” contracts it out to a private entity. That’s the part that should chill you.
And this isn’t just a U.S. operation. Palantir is already embedded globally—with contracts inside the NHS in the UK, NATO, and the Israeli Defence Forces, where it’s been used in battlefield intelligence, drone strikes, and domestic policing. You think this stops at the U.S. border? Think again. Australia is part of the Five Eyes alliance. If the U.S. is integrating citizen data under Palantir’s platform, that data is being shared. Yours. Mine. Everyone’s.
So ask yourself: is this how freedom dies? Not with a bang, but with a business contract and a glossy AI dashboard.
Palantir’s defenders say it’s just helping catch bad guys. But who decides who the “bad guys” are? Because lately, it’s not terrorists—it’s parents at school board meetings, Christians with strong convictions, and journalists who still have a conscience.
This is the infrastructure of tyranny, and it’s being built piece by piece under the guise of safety and efficiency. Just like the Patriot Act. Just like COVID lockdowns. Just like the digital ID proposals creeping across our borders.
Promise order. Deliver surveillance. Wrap it in patriotism and sell it with security.
But we’ve read this script before.
Enough. If we do nothing, this becomes the new normal. If we remain silent, the cage will be welded shut before we even know we’re inside it.
We must expose this. We must dismantle it. And we must hold even our own champions to account when they cross the line.
So share this article. Wake people up. Before the system spreads further into you.

‘Even our bloody garbage is under surveillance! I got a letter from the council saying that I have contaminated the recycling and reminding me what I should be doing! Cameras in the trucks.’
A Moreland Council rubbish truck got busted by residents picking up both recycling and rubbish bins at the same time. Further investigations discovered that the Chinese were no longer buying our containers recyclables, they have more than enough of their own and is being dumped along with the rubbish. This was about 10 years ago!
The Chinese still don’t need our recyclables, no one does, we have to pay them to take it, it is about control, IT ALWAYS IS!
Well, Buurn The Strawman, what you need to do is make an FOI to the health authorities asking for documentary proof that the alleged Nimbus variant has baen shown to have been isolated according to the rigid scientific protocols like Koch’s Postulates.
I have FOI replies for the original COVID virus that started it all, and the Delta.
Both say that no document exists that says that the viruses have been isolated, as you should already know.
See how you go with it.
As a follow up to my last post…

https://www.naturalnews.com/2025-06-13-fear-mongering-plandemic-now-underway-new-covid-variant.html
We are going to stop them this time right? Not putting up with this tyranny again.
I still have not come up with one single reason that Latrobe council caravan and container are there at all. There is no signage, to planned upcoming event…nothing but questions without answers for now.
Not sure where else to put this…I see lots of stuff just walking the dogs, like bloody chemtrails, there were heaps yesterday.
Okay…Yes I am guessing but I am a bloody good guess. I can not think of any other reason that these objects are where they are and for what reason. I park my car at the local footy club, next door is the soccer club, which was used as a drive through covid testing facility back in 2020/2021, as you can drive around it, unlike the footy club, which has barriers.
Well, Latrobe council has parked its caravan in the Soccer club and has a (brand spanking new) container full who knows what put down right near it…I can not think of any other reason that council caravan and the container are there…this is not for sport, neither clubs need a container full of anything, except maybe better footballers…
What do you think? Are they going for it AGAIN? I think I am going break into that container, I” try find some bolt cutter to cut the lock off, just for more information!
Calling all of you to have a quick look at where your local mass testing drive-through facility was…Are they preparing again to tyrannize with lies about viruses?
Remember, never forget it and get your head around it too, virus theory is still a theory…still. It is therefore just fiction! They teach it as truth yet they fail to prove its truth! I have preached we live in a world of lies because we indeed do.
This time we are taking them on. Everywhere. Humiliate.
Ironic – P A L A N T I R = trap in LA
Even our bloody garbage is under surveillance! I got a letter from the council saying that I have contaminated the recycling and reminding me what I should be doing! Cameras in the trucks. I have put a document together asking council to stop spraying poisonous weed killers and pesticides and got a sign made up to put on my footpath to stop them contaminating is.
opt out.. there are small things that everyone can do to put a spanner in the works.. Refuse apps, use cash, shop at markets, refuse face recognition at airports, etc.. I noticed that microsoft put an AI app on my computer during last update called copilot… I removed it..

lol Yes, NOWHERE MAN, surveillance of Grubbernment and Corporate operations is considered “confidential” or “commercial in confidence” and not subject to the light of day. Even TOP SECRET in some cases where it gravely encroaches on the public interest.
Instead they give us surveillance of ourselves to satisfy our jnsatiable penchant for surveillance and transparency. It’s obviously adequate consolation for us.
Hahahaha!
Good one daviddd22 !
The dopes conveniently didn’t think that idea should and must apply to the government and corporate entities first and foremost…
I’d like to thank all the many peeps who told me over the years that if I have nothing to hide I have nothing to fear from surveillance. lol

Watch both the videos in the link above.
And Palantir is already in Australia, Coles has been using it since February last year… no doubt others are using it here too..
We are all being surveilled..
‘Enjoy your servitude.’
I’m in servitude to myself, – so thank you Twinkletoes.
“Oh blah, blah, blah Howard, – seriously, how many times do readers have to read your eternal sob story?”
They don’t and if you’re trying to start a fight Michael, you’ve come to the wrong place. Enjoy your servitude.
Diane-There is a large 250 year military parade in Washington DC on June 14th that also happens to beTrumps birthday.
Howard
‘I woke up to him, while most Trump false god worshippers . . . ‘
Oh blah, blah, blah Howard, – seriously, how many times do readers have to read your eternal sob story? What is with you people?, – why do you insist upon ‘recycling’ the same comment, over and over and over again?
Your ‘one and only comment’ is done Howard, it exhausted its potential long ago, and I really couldn’t care less what you think, – as I’ve more important things to think about.
‘WAKE UP he is NOT your savior or anyone else’s.’
Shouting doesn’t make a long obsolete comment interesting Howard, or draw my attention back to it, – the content is boring, I recognise it as boring, and no amount of shouting can reverse the situation.
For your information, I don’t believe in saviours, gods, devils, jaberwockies, or other such nonsense, – so you’ll have to find somebody else to cry to.
But if you actually read my post?, I think I made it quite clear, that I’m looking way beyond the current Trump presidency.
So put your slippers on, go make yourself a nice hot mug of chamomile tea, settle down and dry your eyes, – you should feel better in an hour or two.
Best wishes Twinkletoes.

“What a welcome change from the usual comment board rhetoric, where one side you’ve got the Trump supporters resting on their laurels, whilst on the other side, you’ve got the anti-Trump supporters baying for the ‘Trumptards’ blood like retards.”
Yet here you are Michael, calling those who point out the fact that Trump condones and even finances genocide: ‘retards’.
Speaking for myself, I don’t have a problem with those who have been thoroughly hoodwinked by his LIES, as I was myself until July 2020: probably the most devout ‘Trumptard’ in Australia.
I’m simply trying to help others to see the mammoth in the room which they, like I did prior to July 2020, refuse to see.
I woke up to him, while most Trump false god worshippers are still mesmerised by his false promises and hopium themed rhetoric. Its all BS to give the gullible, ignorant plebes false hope (hopium), to divert their attention away from what’s really going on – all theatre or ‘smoke and mirrors’.
I feel sorry for those who cannot see the truth, even when it’s right in their faces.
Trump and his (Zionist) administration don’t even try to hide it anymore. He’s very proud of his genocide in Gaza, Operation Warp Speed and wars he started in other countries. I.e. just yesterday he said he will “bomb Iran to smithereens” for something that nation is perfectly free to do: enrich its uranium stocks.
FFS It’s none of Trump’s business what they do in Iran, yet he wants to use that as an excuse to KILL them. Including of course, like the rest of the violence he condones and supports in other countries: innocent civilians including women and children!
Yes Michael, us ‘anti-trump supporters’ you say are all baying for the ‘Trumptards’ blood like retards don’t condone that kind of violence against innocent people. It’s GENOCIDE – no other word for it and Trump wallows in it!
WAKE UP he is NOT your savior or anyone else’s. He’s a genocidal psychopath.
Here’s an interesting, recent little truth bite for you…

And Palantir sponsors war tech expos.
Palantir is putting it all in and all together for their partner states of which Israel is the premier partner. Wall to Wall Palantir Jews are massively invested in the Gaza bloodbath and running panels on the Greater Israel war which they are war gaming with Iran in the panels and workshops.
Check out the attendees: AI warlords. Heads of intelligence of foreign governments, reps from the US gov’t signing up on the dotted line for data harvesting on US citizens.
Palantir is a global empire.

What are the HEALTH consequences of having 26GHz (an extremely high frequency) or even higher frequencies in the future, beamformed at us like rats in a cage?
What DUE DILIGENCE has been done for this electromagnetic CLINICAL TRIAL?
What ‘excuses’ do ARPANSA give?
Are they ‘independent’ or ‘sponsored’ by the Industry?
What has WHO already confirmed in relation to the real risks around cancers (as one example) in relation to electromagnetic frequencies already?
Do we give our HEALTH over to tech heads who know nothing about the complexities of human biology (including our electrics) putting not the PUBLIC HEALTH but all of nature, the BIRDS and the BEES at risk of sudden or chronic outcomes from extremely high frequency dis-ease if not death?
These conversations need to be had as a matter of urgency in the context of knowing that money talks and the deals have already been done.
If we don’t take this very seriously – it will be too late.
You don’t give your future over to fools.
Readers will recall that Palantir signed a surveilance camera deal with Colkes Stores Australia last year = the abilities of their AI Sat based tech is out of this world beyond comprehension totally crazy & very frightening.
‘What happens after Trump? What happens when a future president—one who sees churchgoers, truth-tellers, or political dissidents as enemies—gets the keys to this surveillance empire? What happens when the system Trump thinks he’s using for good is reprogrammed against good people?’
Hallelujah!, – finally!, someone exhibits a modicum of rationality, hence, allowing them a rare opportunity for future contemplation beyond a ‘temporary’ four year presidential term.
What a welcome change from the usual comment board rhetoric, where one side you’ve got the Trump supporters resting on their laurels, whilst on the other side, you’ve got the anti-Trump supporters baying for the ‘Trumptards’ blood like retards.
As U.S. presidents are constitutionally limited to two terms, – and no more (22 Amendment), Trump will be permanently eliminated from politics in early 2029. This is why smart folks don’t even care about DJT per se, as their future horizons are far ahead of a mere four year presidential term.
Personally, I’m far more interested in what Vice President JD Vance has to say, as its now looking quite probable?, that Vance will be the Republicans next two term president. Indeed, listening to Vance’s recent conference speeches and meetings with tomorrow’s leaders and ‘industry disrupters’ within the ‘up and coming’ big tech space, (i.e., – no old tech pensioners like Bezos, Gates, Zuckerberg, etc), it is quite clear that Vance is calling upon these rising tech entrepreneurs for political support.
At one point, Vance made it emphatically clear, that without favourable political support, the young techies proposed ‘decentralisation’ of big tech will be over-ruled by those demanding the centralised system to remain in place under their personal control.
At last month’s important annual DeFi conference, VP Vance launched the event with an exceptional opening speech, calling upon both Left and Right leaning future tech leaders to support whichever Party is supporting the tech decentralisation program.
In reference to his observations from his previous work within the technology industry, Vance also pointed out: – ‘that smart right wing tech people leant towards Bitcoin and Crypto, whilst smart left wing tech people tended towards AI.’
According to Vance, the future GOP agenda aims to synthesise these superficial political disparities via the tech entrepreneurs shared, but stronger allegiance to the tech decentralisation process. This is the primary modus operandi of the sixth QW industrial cycle that is now underway. Any future Government needs the support of these future tech leaders and vice versa.
As it stands, there is only one government addressing this issue. Vance nailed the existing status quo as follows:
‘[Political] elites who rather than innovate themselves, prefer to simply take over and co-opt cutting edge technologies to assert their control over other people.’ [large public applause].

What sort of pet will YOU make by the time your kids grow up?

Remember about 8 years ago in Saudi Arabia Trump and the Saudi king and Egyptian president all put their hands on the glowing orb to activate the Center for Combatting Extremist Ideology?
The glowing orb represented ‘Palantir’ which comes from the work of JRR Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings. The Palantir were the seeing stones of Numenor that looked afar and those who could master the stone could converse with others. But the use of this technology which once was used to unite the N and South Kingdoms fell (predictably) into the service of Mordor.
Saruman, unfortunately had one of the seeing stones at Orthanc and so was ensnared by Sauron who controlled the Ithil stone and made to give up information and take orders. The stone at Minas Tirith overthrew the mind of the Denethor, the Steward of Gondor.
There is much to be understood here for those who understand J RR Tolkien’s great saga.
It is no coincidence this data leviathan has been called Palantir because that is exactly what it is. And this can not end well.
I have sent the Editor an article from Choice, the consumer magazine, detailing Aussie supermarkets rolling out facial recognition gear in their supermarkets.
Coles is one, here in Geelong, doing this on the pretext of combating theft, but the cost of the gear, nation wide, and the staff manning the self-checkouts must overwhelm the losses from their overpriced meat, for a start.
In any event this is a privacy matter, amongst others, amunting , also, to unlawful surveillance and, with the gates on the checkout areas, unlawful detention, as that is what the gates are for.
I have been battling my ISP who will not change the phone number on my account without digital ID, previously refusing to reinstate my modem that had had an outage, without giving them a digital ID.
A friend told me that Section 74 of the Digital ID Act 2024 says that the DID is voluntary, and I have sent Ed the link:
https://classic.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/num_act/dia202487/s74.html
By rattling my federal MP, Richard Marles’s staffer, and pointing out that ACMA, which is demanding ISPs ask for digital IDs:
https://www.acma.gov.au/customer-identity-authentication-rules
…was acting illegally in making those rules, and is also operating under an ABN- which means ACMA is not a lawful government department but a for profit business- which is a big call to a federal Minister, the staffer said he would talk to the Comms Minister.
It seems that he may have, as my service was finally reinstated after some 22 days.
I also found this fellow, who shows you how to de-Google your phone, and do other personal cyber-security things to your gizmos.
