Johnson \u2013 Natural News June 6, 2025<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>In an era where privacy is vanishing and governments increasingly weaponize data against their own citizens, Palantir Technologies has emerged as the shadowy architect of a dystopian surveillance state. Funded by the CIA and led by billionaire Peter Thiel, this Silicon Valley behemoth has infiltrated nearly every branch of the U.S. government, transforming sensitive personal data <a href=\"https:\/\/thegrayzone.com\/2025\/06\/04\/trumps-palantir-spying-stock\/\">into a tool for mass control<\/a>. From enabling Trump\u2019s mass deportations to assisting Israel\u2019s AI-driven genocide in Gaza, Palantir\u2019s technology is not just invasive\u2014it\u2019s deadly. As its stock soars to record highs, fueled by lucrative government contracts, the world must ask: Who is really being surveilled, and who stands to profit from this unprecedented erosion of freedom?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key points:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Palantir, co-founded by Peter Thiel with CIA funding, operates as a privatized intelligence arm for the U.S. government, consolidating vast troves of personal data without oversight.<\/li>\n<li>The company\u2019s software powers military targeting systems like Lavender (used in Gaza) and Maven (deployed globally), raising ethical concerns about AI-fueled warfare.<\/li>\n<li>Leaked documents reveal Palantir\u2019s role in mass surveillance, from tracking migrants for ICE to mining health data for the NHS, often with little transparency or accountability.<\/li>\n<li>CEO Alex Karp has openly bragged about Palantir\u2019s role in \u201ckilling\u201d enemies and suppressing dissent, framing its technology as essential for elite control during coming \u201crevolutionary\u201d unrest.<\/li>\n<li>With contracts spanning the Pentagon, DHS, and health agencies, Palantir is poised to become the backbone of a centralized, unaccountable spying apparatus\u2014one that threatens civil liberties worldwide.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The CIA\u2019s pet project goes global<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2015\/01\/11\/leaked-palantir-doc-reveals-uses-specific-functions-and-key-clients\/\">Palantir\u2019s origins trace back to 2004<\/a>, when the CIA\u2019s venture capital wing, In-Q-Tel, injected $2 million into Thiel\u2019s startup. What began as a niche data-mining tool for counter-terrorism has since metastasized into a multi-billion-dollar empire, embedded in everything from pandemic tracking to predictive policing. The company\u2019s flagship product, Gotham, was initially marketed as a way to \u201cconnect the dots\u201d between terrorists\u2014but internal documents show it\u2019s now used by local police to catalog everything from mugshots to social connections, creating a perpetual dragnet of suspicion.<\/p>\n<p>The Los Angeles Police Department, for instance, uses Palantir to cross-reference 160 datasets, including race, tattoos, and employment history. As one LAPD sergeant gushed, \u201cDetectives love the type of information it provides\u2026 They can now exactly see great information and the links between events and people.\u201d But critics warn such systems disproportionately target marginalized communities, turning everyday activities into grounds for surveillance.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>From Gaza to your backyard: Palantir\u2019s killing machines<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Nowhere is Palantir\u2019s lethality more apparent than in its <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/UhCCn#selection-1985.0-2053.194\">work with the Israeli military<\/a>. The company\u2019s AI system Lavender has been accused of automating genocide in Gaza, flagging tens of thousands of Palestinians\u2014including civilians\u2014as potential targets. Karp, a self-described \u201cmilitant Zionist,\u201d openly admitted Palantir\u2019s role in the slaughter, dismissing the dead as \u201cmostly terrorists.\u201d Meanwhile, Palantir\u2019s board convened in Tel Aviv earlier this year, signaling its deep ties to Israel\u2019s security apparatus.<\/p>\n<p>Domestically, Palantir\u2019s tools have been deployed to hound immigrants, with ICE paying 30 million for a platform to \u201ctrack migrant movements in real time.\u201d During the COVID?19 lockdowns, the Biden regime enlisted Palantir to manage vaccine distribution, despite warnings about its history of mishandling health data. In the UK, the NHS awarded the company a 447 million contract to consolidate medical records\u2014a move experts called an \u201cunprecedented\u201d privacy violation.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The coming \u201crevolution\u201d and Palantir\u2019s profit motive<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Karp\u2019s chilling remarks at Davos in 2023 laid bare Palantir\u2019s endgame: \u201cThere\u2019s a revolution. Some people are going to get their heads cut off,\u201d he warned, framing social unrest as a business opportunity. His company\u2019s software, he claimed, had \u201cstopped the rise of the far-right in Europe\u201d\u2014a dubious assertion given Palantir\u2019s contracts with authoritarian regimes and its CEO\u2019s familial ties to British fascism.<\/p>\n<p>With <a href=\"http:\/\/trump.news\">Trump\u2019s<\/a> recent executive order mandating data-sharing across agencies via Palantir\u2019s Foundry platform, <strong>the company is poised to become the central nervous system of the U.S. surveillance state<\/strong>. As one anonymous employee fretted, <a href=\"http:\/\/privacywatch.news\">collecting so much sensitive data<\/a> in one place is reckless\u2014especially when the government\u2019s track record includes leaks, hacks, and abuses.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Wall Street sees only dollar signs. Palantir\u2019s stock surged 512% in a year, hitting a $311 billion valuation, as investors bet on its growing monopoly over government spying. For Thiel and Karp, the equation is simple: more chaos equals more contracts. For the rest of us, it\u2019s a dire warning\u2014one that demands urgent scrutiny before liberty becomes another casualty in Palantir\u2019s database.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thegrayzone.com\/2025\/06\/04\/trumps-palantir-spying-stock\/\">TheGrayZone.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2015\/01\/11\/leaked-palantir-doc-reveals-uses-specific-functions-and-key-clients\/\">TechCrunch.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/UhCCn#selection-1985.0-2053.194\">Archive.is<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.naturalnews.com\/2025-06-06-palantirs-unchecked-surveillance-empire-expanding.html\">Source\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From enabling Trump\u2019s mass deportations to assisting Israel\u2019s AI-driven genocide in Gaza, Palantir\u2019s technology is not just invasive\u2014it\u2019s deadly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":309961,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[59,29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-309959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-Surveillance","category-The_New_World_Order"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=309959"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309959\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":309960,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309959\/revisions\/309960"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/309961"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=309959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=309959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=309959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
