Another 54 were labeled \u201cpotentially unsustainable.\u201d For some of the worst-rated systems, projected replacement timelines stretched 10 to 13 years, a gap the GAO called a serious operational and safety risk.<\/p>\n<p>And guess who is negotiating with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to overhaul the system? Why, of course, it\u2019s the same company that is taking over the rest of the federal government, 27 federal agencies to date. That would be Palantir Technologies, the AI giant that provides data analysis to the U.S. military, to state and local law enforcement, to federal spooks in the intelligence agencies (FBI and CIA), to our nation\u2019s tax-collecting agency (IRS), to its agriculture-regulation agency (USDA), and its main health-services agency, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Inserting Palantir\u2019s AI programs into the air-traffic control system is apparently the next big takeover that Palantir investors are chomping at the bit to see go down. Replacing human beings with algorithms. Hmm. What could possibly go wrong?<\/p>\n<p><em>The Morning Overview<\/em> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/money\/other\/faa-weighs-palantir-ai-to-overhaul-aging-us-air-traffic-control-systems\/ar-AA21VZLV\">reports<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cNow, as the agency opens the door to outside vendors, one of the most closely watched questions in government tech is whether Palantir Technologies and its AI platform will play a central role in what comes next.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jim Stewartson, an expert on mass psychological operations in the political arena <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/jimstewartson\/status\/2048556411437904057?s=20\">posted April 26 on X<\/a><\/strong> that \u201cPalantir is an invasive species, a parasite in the process of murdering its host so it can feast on the innards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can bet your last dollar that this parasitic corporate fascist takeover will keep plunging ahead under the current administration, which sees nothing government does that it can\u2019t outsource to a \u201cpublic-private partnership.\u201d This is the World Economic Forum model popularized by globalist WEF parasites Klaus Schwab and Larry Fink and Donald Trump is all in.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Morning Overview<\/em> goes on to report with regard to the potential Palantir-FAA deal:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Beyond the vendor horse race, a more fundamental question remains unresolved: how, exactly, the FAA plans to use artificial intelligence in safety-critical airspace operations. Neither the DOT\u2019s summit materials nor the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faa.gov\/newsroom\/brand-new-air-traffic-control-system-bnatcs-fact-sheet\">BNATCS program page<\/a><\/strong> describe specific AI capabilities, model architectures, or testing and certification protocols.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The possibilities range widely. AI could serve as a back-end analytics layer, crunching weather and traffic data to recommend more efficient routes. It could function as a real-time decision-support tool, flagging conflicts for human controllers to resolve. Or, in a more aggressive scenario, it could automate certain low-risk routing decisions entirely. Each option carries different safety, labor, and regulatory implications, and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA), the union representing roughly 14,000 controllers, has historically insisted that technology augment human judgment rather than replace it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Until the FAA publishes technical requirements or certification guidance for AI in operational air traffic management, any vendor\u2019s claims about what its platform can do in that environment remain aspirational.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t going to stop until the entire federal government is outsourced to AI. Your government will no longer have a human face, and with that accountability will go by the wayside. Our constitutional republic is being fundamentally transformed into an algocracy (government by algorithm), right before our eyes, and it\u2019s happening under a so-called \u201cconservative\u201d president.<\/p>\n<p>Wake up America. Before it\u2019s too late. The digital control grid is being erected right under our noses, and nobody\u2019s even talking about it. They\u2019re talking about fake assassination attempts and ballrooms and how many more hundreds of billions we should spend killing people in Iran on behalf of foreign interests.
