BREAKING: Disgusting and unforgivable! Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton just let a convicted child predator off with a pathetic slap on the wrist — reducing a life-without-parole sentence for years of sexually abusing a little boy down to just 60 days in jail.
This is the rotten, two-tiered “justice” the Texas GOP machine delivers when one of their own gets caught.
Waco lawyer Adam Hoffman preyed on a third-grade boy for more than three years. He should have rotted in prison for the rest of his miserable life. But because he’s connected to the right people, Paxton’s office swooped in and cut a sweetheart deal, downgrading horrific felonies to misdemeanors and sending this monster back to the streets after barely two months.
The victim’s mother spoke with raw courage and heartbreak:
“This has been a long and painful journey… My baby was in the third grade when this monster started abusing him. Six and a half of his 14 years have been spent in counseling. I watched my little boy be so brave — he’s more of a man than you will ever be. He is my hero.”
This is what the self-proclaimed “party of family values” actually does in practice: protect sexual predators and their powerful friends while leaving innocent children and their families to suffer.
We Republicans Against Trump are done pretending this is normal. This is moral rot. This is corruption wearing a red tie. This is the same disgusting pattern we see from the top down — whether it’s shielding abusers in Congress, defending a twice-nominated serial sexual assault defendant, or now cutting sweetheart deals for pedophiles with the right political connections.
Ken Paxton and Greg Abbott aren’t protecting Texas families.
They’re protecting the predators in their own circle.
Enough. Real conservatives believe in law and order and protecting the innocent — not running a protection racket for monsters.
It’s time to throw these hypocrites out. Vote Ken Paxton, Greg Abbott, Donald Trump, and every single Republican who enables this filth out of office. Texas — and America — deserves better than this sickening betrayal.
Scientists and engineers with highly specific technical knowledge sets are vanishing. No announcements. No farewell emails. No professional transitions. They are simply gone, and the manner in which they disappear suggests someone is moving fast.
The theory gaining serious traction is that this is not random. Every major nation on Earth may be running the same classified program simultaneously, and it is bigger than anything that has ever existed.
The pattern spans multiple countries. Specialists in narrow, highly technical fields tied to a single area of knowledge are being pulled from their normal lives with unusual urgency. No press releases. No LinkedIn updates. No explanations offered to colleagues or family. Researchers who track this pattern describe it as a quiet global sweep, systematic and deliberate, with a speed that suggests external pressure rather than bureaucratic planning.
The technology angle is where the theory becomes extraordinary. Rumor in certain well-connected circles holds that major world governments have been given exotic non-human technology. Not discovered. Not reverse-engineered from crash debris. Given. And the race now is to understand it, exploit it, and turn it into an advantage before someone else does first.
The urgency is the tell. Normal classified programs take years to staff. They recruit through channels, they negotiate, they plan. What is being described here looks nothing like that. It looks like a draft. An emergency mobilization of scientific talent into underground facilities running on a timeline nobody is publicly acknowledging. Either an adversary nation has cracked something critical and a new clock started ticking, or something is approaching from outside and governments worldwide have known about it long enough to prepare but not long enough to be relaxed about it.
No government has commented. No official body has acknowledged any pattern of scientist disappearances. The silence itself is notable, because if this were a conspiracy theory with no basis, it would typically attract a denial. Instead there is nothing.
Some researchers believe this is the opening phase of a super-classified Manhattan Project on a global scale, triggered by non-human technology and a deadline the public has not been told about. Others argue the disappearances have mundane explanations including routine security reassignments and that the pattern is being inflated by people who want it to mean something extraordinary.
If governments worldwide were handed exotic technology and told a clock was running, would they tell the public? Or would they draft every mind they needed and go underground without a word?
There was a deal made in America. Not written down, not signed, but widely understood. If you gave the people at the top more freedom, more capital, and more room to operate, they would build, invest, and create prosperity that flowed outward. That was the promise.
For a long time before that deal, we ran a different system. From the 1940s through the 1960s, under leaders like Dwight D. Eisenhower, the United States operated with top marginal tax rates above 90 percent. In practice, far fewer paid anything close to that because the code was full of deductions. Those deductions were not random. They were designed to reward building. Expand your workforce, invest in equipment, fund research, and your tax burden dropped. It created a simple logic: reinvest or lose it.
The result was not perfect, but it was powerful. Wages rose with productivity, infrastructure expanded, homeownership surged, and the middle class became the center of the economy rather than an afterthought. There is a counterargument worth taking seriously here. The United States, after World War II, faced limited global competition while Europe and Japan rebuilt. That advantage was real. What matters is what we did with it. We could have concentrated that wealth. We did not. Policy choices turned dominance into shared prosperity rather than private stockpiles.
Then came Ronald Reagan, and the deal changed. Taxes at the top were cut dramatically, with the top marginal rate falling from 70 percent to 28 percent. Capital gains taxes were reduced, corporate taxes eased, and regulation loosened. The pitch was straightforward. Free up capital and it will find its way into productive investment.
For a while, it looked like it worked. Inflation dropped, growth returned, and the economy stabilized after the turbulence of the 1970s. If you freeze the frame in the mid-1980s, the argument holds. The problem is that policy is not judged in quarters. It is judged in decades, and the mechanics underneath began to shift.
Lower taxes on capital gains did more than increase after-tax income. They changed behavior. When returns on financial assets are taxed less than returns on labor or production, money moves away from factories and payroll and into markets. This is where the system pivots from production to financialization. It becomes more profitable to move money than to make things. Stock buybacks replace expansion, short-term share price replaces long-term capacity, and CEOs stop acting like builders and start acting like traders.
The result is what economists call the Great Decoupling. Productivity continued to rise while worker pay stopped keeping pace, weakening the link between effort and reward. At the same time, the velocity of money shifted. Money in the hands of the middle class moves through the real economy, circulating through local businesses and services. Money at the top behaves differently. It accumulates, sitting in financial instruments, derivatives, and offshore structures. It grows, but it does not circulate the same way, and the system slows where it matters most.
What followed was not a sudden collapse but a gradual redirection. Instead, you got a slow transfer of wealth upward. Not dramatic enough for people to riot, but relentless enough to hollow out the middle while asset holders watched everything inflate in their favor. Housing drifted out of reach, healthcare turned into a profit machine, and education became debt financed.
Healthcare is the clearest example of where this road leads. The United States now spends roughly twice what comparable nations spend per person, with worse outcomes and shorter lifespans. That is not inefficiency. That is structure. Programs like Medicare Advantage, backed by figures like Mehmet Oz, represent the final evolution of the deal. A public system is partially privatized, a middle layer is inserted, and that layer profits not by delivering care but by managing, limiting, and sometimes denying it. It is extraction, formalized.
Education followed the same path. The GI Bill treated citizens as an investment and returned multiples on every dollar spent. Today, students borrow into the system and carry that weight for decades. We replaced national investment with individual liability. Taxes complete the picture. Since the Reagan shift, repeated cuts at the top have coincided with rising federal debt. You cannot claim fiscal discipline while consistently reducing revenue from those most able to contribute.
This is not a story of collapse. It is a story of redirection. When top marginal rates are high, there is a structural push toward reinvestment. When they are low, there is a structural pull toward accumulation. One model builds a country. The other builds portfolios.
So when people say return to Eisenhower era tax rates, they are not talking about punishing success. They are talking about restoring balance. A high top marginal rate does not mean everyone pays it. It means there is a threshold where hoarding stops making sense and building starts again. Even the 1986 tax reform understood part of this. It lowered rates, but it also closed loopholes and broadened the base. Structure matters as much as rate.
Conservatives once understood this. Under Eisenhower, it was not called socialism. It was called stability. If you want fiscal responsibility, look at when the debt curve begins to bend, because it bends sharply after this shift. If you want strong families and homeownership, look at when they begin to slip, because that decline tracks the decoupling of wages from productivity. If you want patriotism, ask the harder question of whether a system that concentrates wealth while weakening its base is actually serving the country.
Reagan did not break the system. He changed the deal. The promise was that giving more to the top would lift everyone. What we got instead was something quieter and more enduring: a system that rewards extraction over building, accumulation over circulation, and portfolios over people.
Correcting that is not about going backward. It is about remembering what the deal was supposed to be.
International Public Notice: Change of Trusteeship
The following letter has been sent to the U.S. Secretary of State and the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury (1789) and lays out the basic claims for non-performance over a period of decades.
It also mandates liquidation of the trusteeship.
The bankruptcy of the UNITED STATES corporation is complete and the remaining assets have been distributed and are now under recoupment by the actual owners.
We are collecting our original documents from various places around the world prior to transferring them to our National Archives.
Prior to this each document has to be scanned into our computer databases as JPEG files, and those files have to be replicated and distributed.
In a relatively short period of time the Federation will take over the vacated government functions while the states finish their work and debate renegotiation of international treaties and restructuring of the federal government.
True Freedom vs. False Freedom and the Tyranny of Corporate Amerika
This is one of the best short articles I have seen explaining how we got to tyranny from freedom.
My comments are below the letter.
-----------
Having spent the best part of three years in the study of what exists in America, how we have gotten to where we are, and the structure of our country at this point, I feel compelled to make an attempt at clarification of it for those who have not had the opportunity for such in depth study. We have a system in place which has corrupted the basic tenet of law and we have departed from the basic intent of law. We have allowed it and accepted it because of our ignorance and lack of understanding. Until this is acknowledged and understood there will be no freedom for man on this earth.
Many of those in the sovereignty movement have discovered the difference between law, which is the common law (the law of the land), and the legal system which is a corporate creation using international law. The corporate created legal system is not a system of law but a system of corporate rules and regulations by which the created "creditors" and would be masters may regulate the lives of man and manufacture excuses for confiscation of production and/or assets. It is a system through which they find excuses and the means for extracting the productivity of man by various devices and those devices are whatever they claim them to be.
When a sovereign/free man claims that those rules do not apply to him, the typical response from most of the uninformed is that these folks think they are "above the law." This is the predominate attitude of " law enforcement, the courts, the would be corporate rulers, and ..unfortunately most of our people, who have been trained to keep their fellow man in line and compliant. This view is what has been taught to the people for decades. It is NOT what our founders believed, it is NOT based on the natural law, the law of the land, the law of the free man, nor is it based in Constitutional law or principles. It IS based on the law of the sea and the law of the international merchants/bankers. It is wholly opposed to the law of free men which is God's law or the natural law of the free man. The merchant law (corporate law, law of the sea, international law, commercial law) is the law for the slaves constructed to make all the people debtors and is written by the slave masters who set themselves up to rule and prosper.
I hope to make this basic and simple to understand herein. There was a time when the saying "ignorance of the law is no excuse" had very good reason for being valid. That is because the common law, or the law of free man, has but three laws.
1. Do not harm another one of the people.
2. Do not harm the property of one of the people.
3. Do not commit fraud. All three of those laws can be boiled down into simply DO NO HARM.
That is real law. It is simple, it is straight forward, and ignorance of it is no excuse. Frankly, no one growing up under these laws of free men could ever have been ignorant of them nor claim ignorance as an excuse. If you will but stop to ponder those three laws you will realize they encompass all the protection and security a free man would need. Under the common law what we knew of as the police or sheriffs were ACTUALLY peace officers and served merely to keep that peace. In the current system they are "law enforcement" which is another term for corporate rule revenue collection officers. They are now the muscle for an illegitimate criminal system to make and control slaves of men.
The old saying that ignorance of the law no longer applies for there are now tens of thousands of "so called" laws variously termed statutes, codes, or public policy, and no one could possibly know them or indeed keep up with all the new ones being passed every day. This is ludicrous to any thinking man who values freedom and does not relish slavery and chains.
The corporate rules now accepted as laws are merely under "color of law" and are described to people "as law" when in fact they are the rules of corporations, designed to be the creditors, in a system through which they manage to take more and more money from the people using agency and devise by making the people the debtors and subjects of their rule. It is a system through which they gain more and more money, expand and grow controls via created corporate governmental fictions, and make more and more excuses for more and more power and control. It is a system the slaves are expected to pay for and support. It is a system in which the slaves pay for their own increasingly tyrannical rule via theft of their productivity.
The simple common law is the premise for our Bill of Rights and our Constitution. These documents were not written to give us our rights as those are inherent inalienable rights we are born with...natural or God given...and it is so stated within those documents. These are the rights and rules for free men to live by. There is NO valid excuse for any others as those three are all encompassing.
Let us merely consider the basic premise of the laws of free men. It is "DO NO HARM." Those who do harm to another man, his property, or defraud another are held accountable. Period.
I would suggest to you that much, if not all, of the corruption that exists in this country traces back to the concept of the limited liability corporation. It is a fictional person created within in their manufactured legal system. It is a legal construct through which accountability and liability is avoided. That is completely opposed to the laws of free men. It is a shield erected which allows harm to be done and the culprits responsible for that harm to walk away scot free. I suggest to you that the concept violates the law of free men by setting up a construct through which one may avoid the law of responsibility for one's actions. No accountability. In other words those doing harm are no longer held accountable to their fellow man. This violates the basic premise of all the real law that free man ever had. The people are said to have volunteered into this system and yet they do not know it even exists. The system itself is a fraud upon the people and hence violates the real law.
To be surprised by what has evolved due to the violation of that premise of do no harm is to admit a failure to understand what makes real law and what is lawless rule. We created a fictional person in law with the corporations and now the corporations (all the various governmental entities) now rule by edict, decree, and corporate rule making with no responsibility or accountability. You may venture the opinion that they do no harm, but I challenge you to reconsider.
If a corporation files bankruptcy and the stockholders walk away from all debt, would you claim no one has been harmed? I allow that in every case there IS harm done. If the vendors to that bankrupt corporation are to survive, they will have to be able to overcome such losses. They can only overcome such losses by having net revenues sufficiently high to be able to absorb the losses and indeed even the risk of such losses.. That means higher prices for all goods and services and is a price born by the consumer....the people. The rules ultimately protect government and their corporations from the people who bear the cost; the slaves. It removes all recourse in real law and all protection under real law. It protects the law violators from the victims which is ultimately the people in every case.
These corporate creations were a violation of law in the very beginning and the current situation is but the natural progression of that corruption of the basic premise in law to do no harm. The protections and security of free men is not to be found in corporate rule making but in the return to real law and a departure from the fictional system created to avoid responsibility and the premise of real law.
The federal government is a corporation. It exists as THE parent corporation. All others who file a charter to "incorporate" and obtain the limited liability protection as one of their sub corporations must pay protection money to the parent who controls them. The IRS tax code applies to such corporate fictions and taxes them for the "benefit" of their relationship to the parent corporation...ie limited liability. It is protection money. It is collected by their muscle, the IRS.
The corporate taxes are the "cut" of the corporate profits taken by the government for the protection provided of limited liability and passes to the FED as interest on the debt run up by the parent so they can continue to expand controls and grow in size. The regulations and interventions in business are manipulated to scientifically create inflation. As the cost of dealing with regulations goes up to the sub corporation then they must increase prices for goods and services. The increase in gross revenues and subsequent net revenues of the corporation as measured in dollars goes up, hence the tax dollars collected as protection money go up. This cost in scientifically created inflation is born by the people and is theft of their productivity.
It is why a car that was once $3000 is now $50, 000. It is why a house that was once $10,000 is now $200,000. It is why a man can no longer support his family on one income and why most wives now have to work. It is why people now struggle to make ends meet and it is largely why our kids are now raised by people outside the home. It is why companies and individuals behind them do not always act morally and ethically in their business dealings. It has corrupted our society and completely undermined the concept of do no harm. Why worry about it if you can file bankruptcy on your corporation and walk away? It happens every day and it costs the people in every way. I suggest the "harm" is massive and wide spread.
We have a parent corporation with a seated CEO/President who can rule by decree and bureaucratic department heads who garnered the ability to regulate day to day activities of their managed herd and now we have a criminal corporate institution in place which can literally control not only your freedoms but your very life or death by decree. To oppose corporate rule or their decree mandates is to be labeled a traitor or terrorist. I can think of nothing which could be more ridiculous or absurd than what exists in this country. We gave up God's law for the rule of man and we have a cruel master coming forth for our failures.
All people must realize the difference between real law and corporate rule to ever end corruption and return to a free and moral society. Consider what you have accepted. Question every thing you have blindly accepted as good or necessary and why. Think about it long and hard.

Many Americans these days want to be so free that they would also be free from God's laws. They want to be free from the Ten Commandments and be allowed to violate the natural laws put into spin by God at Creation. That might be the reason corporations dominate.
That so called "freedom" is really slavery. It's slavery to satan, who wanted to replace God with himself. As Satan lost his true freedom and was kicked out of heaven by St. Michael the Archangel so will we lose our true freedom and heaven if we live without God.
The true SUPREME law for the United States is the US Constitution. It was and is a reflection of the moral law, natural law and in some respects positive Divine law. Notice I said a reflection. Because true positive Divine law is contained in God's Ten Commandments delivered to Moses. These laws have been explained throughout over 2000 years of history by Jesus Christ through His Church, and are pretty well defined.
So ask yourself this question. Do people who want to ignore the Divine Law and also the US Constitution really deserve true FREEDOM?
I think not. Then ask yourself this question. What am I doing to MAKE MYSELF WORTHY of this divine gift of true Freedom?
If you can't answer that might I suggest several things?
1. Prayer
2. Study, of history, moral principles, a bit of law etc.
3. activities that help inform your fellow man.
4. prepare for the worst, and hope and pray for the best
5. Most importantly live so as to set a good example of a person truly free under God's law, and then DO NO HARM.
We are all imperfect, and we don't get it right 100% of the time, but it's the effort to be so that really counts, and we can all use the practice of living right. That practice is the preparation for TRUE AND ETERNAL FREEDOM, which is perfection itself before the face of God in heaven for all time and eternity. May we all be so blessed.
Data centers aren’t just big and ugly: they’re costly and deadly. That’s not an exaggeration!
Data centers can warm the surrounding land by up to 16°F — affecting areas within a 6 mile radius.
They also create noise pollution; the most severe noise is typically felt within 3,000 feet, but the constant humming from cooling systems can be heard up to two miles away.
Negative health risks from emissions (like nitrogen dioxide from backup generators) can affect residents at least 0.6 miles away, sometimes further.
And then there’s the financial effects…
Immediate neighbors see a 5–20% drop in property values.
People living within 10 miles see higher electricity rates.
So, if you hear that a data center is being proposed for your community, you’ll want to pay attention! Public pushback works!
Addendum:
Only the unrefined and misinformed will accept such fallacies. He possesses sufficient intelligence to recognize better. However, when one is morally and politically compromised, they deliberately choose ignore history.
Palantir’s post to its X account began casually, as though it were
responding to frequently asked questions: “Because we get asked a lot.”
What followed was a demonstration that the company is so confident in
its position and influence that it believes it can say the unsayable
without consequences.
The body of the post, a 22-point manifesto, dispensed with euphemism
and presented its technofascist argument explicitly: below, translated
below into layperson’s terms:
The Palantir Manifesto – Decoded
“Silicon Valley owes a moral debt… The engineering elite…
has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the
nation” – is a direct attempt to convert the private tech
sector of unelected engineers and founders into a political class with
civic authority. Participating in defence sounds benign, but in
practice, it means US dependence on firms whose incentive is the
expansion of Palantir’s unhinged ideology.
“We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps” –
is intended to delegitimise consumer tech and give moral status to
undemocratic “state-security” tech. For example, in the US, the DOJ
demanded that Apple and Google remove ICE-tracking apps as the
Government used Palantir to identify targets for ICE.
“Free email is not enough… decadence… forgiven only if… growth and security…”
is pure authoritarianism, claiming legitimacy rests on output and
security performance, not on rights, accountability, or democratic
consent.
“Soft power… requires hard power, and hard power… will be built on software” is another way of saying, “Trust us, the black-box machine creators, to kill and imprison the right people.”
“The question is not whether AI weapons will be built”
This is the classic AI inevitability move that has become so familiar.
Palantir claims it is necessary to normalise dangerous technology
before a serious public framework exists, or we risk losing this race.
Palantir has made up to justify embedding them as decision-makers.
“National service should be a universal duty” is
not a normal point for a defence contractor ecosystem to promote.
Private technocrats should not be opining on how society should
distribute sacrifice. It raises the question: were Palantir influential
in the policy change that, beginning on 18 December 2026, eligible men
in the US ages 18 to 26 will be automatically registered for selective
service using federal data?
“If a US Marine asks… we should build it… the same goes for software”
Marines are not, and should not be, asking for the erosion of civil
liberties. “Support the troops” becomes a shield for the adoption of
opaque digital systems, including surveillance, targeting, analytics,
and predictive tools.
“Public servants need not be our priests” They are
obviously not our priests. This is an attempt to leverage people’s
dissatisfaction with government, but if people think they aren’t being
served by public officials, wait until they’re part of a network state
that’s unelected and unstoppable, elected by no one. This is Palantir
complaining that laws restrict them.
“We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life.”
They clearly don’t mean public officials. They mean, stop making fun of
Karp as he says, “I love the idea of getting a drone and having light
fentanyl-laced urine spraying on analysts that tried to screw us.” He
has “subjected” himself for a net worth of $14 billion. What he wants is
zero criticism of his unhinged ideas.
“The psychologization of modern politics” is
another anti-democratic play. The claim is that politics should be run
by serious strategic actors, not by citizens bringing moral and social
needs into the public sphere.
“Our society has grown too eager… at the demise of its enemies” is a way of saying there should be no moral scrutiny of those who wield power.
“The atomic age is ending… a new era of deterrence built on AI is set to begin”
This is actually one of the most dangerous claims in their document,
which is a statement in itself. Nuclear deterrence, for all its horrors,
at least came with visible material constraints, specialised
stewardship, and a relatively legible doctrine. AI deterrence is vague,
software-dependent, opaque, updateable, hackable, and vulnerable. In the
hands of an unhinged group of seasteader lunatics, opposing this is the
actual moral imperative.
“No other country… has advanced progressive values more than this one” is Palantir invoking the progressivism it mocks in order to mute structural criticism by appealing to American exceptionalism.
“American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace” is
another American exceptionalism reading of the post-WWII order to
justify Palantir’s projection of power and domestic democratic erosion,
while ignoring that US forces have been actively involved in armed
combat 90% of the time since WWII.
“The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone” is
similar to its point #6, wherein a private tech company feels it is
appropriate for it to opine on the rearmament logic of major powers.
“We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed… Musk…” is
more elite defence rhetoric. It frames tech billionaires’ ambition as
having the only noble public purpose and dismisses public scepticism as
small-mindedness. The demand is for tech leadership to be admired rather
than regulated because they know what’s best for people.
“Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime”
– should also set off alarms. A non-captured US Congress should be
worried about the return of technocracy, and should view domestic
surveillance, predictive policing, algorithm-based enforcement, mission
creep, and civil rights risk in all of this.
“The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away…”
– a reiteration of #9. Basically, “we should be allowed to surveil,
know, and decide everything about you, but we shouldn’t be subjected to
any public scrutiny or we, the special, would be found out as
blood-transfusing, longevity-obsessed, metformin-taking weirdos we are,
and that will bum us out.”
“Caution in public life… is corrosive… “- is just another way of saying that laws should not constrain them because they are special and know best.
“Intolerance of religious belief… must be resisted”
– is an invitation to an alliance with religious conservatives by
portraying liberal elites and any other critics as intolerant. (Note
that Thiel was raised in an evangelical household.)
“Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive”
– is an attempt to say something racist, but in inverted commas. It
openly rehabilitates hierarchical civilisational judgment. When a tech
company that wants to dictate domestic and international policy creates a
manifesto that divides cultures into productive and regressive, it’s
openly stating that it believes in unequal treatment, paternalism, harsh
domestic policy, aggressive foreign policy, etc., and explains
Palantir’s comfort with surveillance and policing tech.
“Resist… hollow pluralism… inclusion into what?“
— is the manifesto’s capstone and gets us back to Thiel’s 2009
statement, “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are
compatible.” Palantir is asserting that pluralism has become an obstacle
to cohesion around the ideals it is putting out here and therefore, an
obstacle to power, fully ignoring the fact that America is already
generally considered the most powerful country in the world.
The
idea is that democracy is messy, so we have to hand more moral and
strategic authority to the tech elite. This is Technocracy. Drunk on
their own Silicon Valley Kool-Aid. “We reject you, your desires for
privacy and freedom. You can’t be trusted. Just give us the reins, and
we’ll make it all work the way we know it should.”
Palantir may have arrived at these ideas, at least in part, through
its founder’s relationship with Elon Musk, whom Thiel knows from the
PayPal merger days in 2000.
Musk’s grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, had been the head of the
Canadian branch of Technocracy Inc., which shares a fundamental belief
with the Palantir manifesto that traditional democratic institutions are
structurally inefficient and must be replaced by a Technate of tech
experts who use data-driven social engineering to manage the levers of
state power.
Technocracy Inc. was declared an illegal, fascist, subversive
organisation in Canada in 1940. The Canadian prime minister cited its
objective as attempting to overthrow the government and the constitution
of the country by force.
Haldeman was arrested and convicted for his involvement with the group and spent two months in prison.
In 1941, Haldeman founded the Total War and Defence movement,
advocating for total conscription of all people aged 16 to 60, as well
as all personal property and private holdings of money, to support the
British war effort. See: Manifesto point number 6.
A former Israeli Prime Minister and intelligence chief described Peter Thiel and Jeffrey Epstein as “owners” of a venture fund. The founder of Palantir, now embedded in Britain’s most critical infrastructure with the help of Peter Mandelson, has denied the claim – but emails reveal how Thiel cultivated Epstein as a business partner

How Embedded is Palantir?
In the UK
In keeping with its Lord of the Rings theming, Palantir
refers to its Soho Square London office as Grey Havens, the final
departure point for Elves leaving Middle-earth.
Louis Mosley, grandson of the former British Union of Fascists leader
Oswald Mosley, has headed UK operations since 2016, and Peter
Mandelson’s now-defunct lobbying firm, Global Counsel, listed Palantir
as a client starting in 2018.
Palantir has had charge of the NHS’s Federated Data Platform since
2023, running data, including patient records and hospital resources
from across various hospital trusts through its Foundry product.
The MoD has used all of Palantir’s known products, AIP, Foundry,
Gotham, and Apollo, since a 2025 no-bid contract award. Of note, Gotham
is marketed and sold as an intelligence and analytical tool capable of
anticipating outcomes and identifying targets, which has been
interpreted by many to indicate predictive policing in the style of the
film Minority Report.
In addition to the use of Palantir’s Foundry and Gotham products, the
Met is nearing the conclusion of a 3-month trial of the AIP product,
which has resulted in the investigation of hundreds of officers.
The US
In the US, Palantir is deeply embedded in the DoD, CIA, FBI, NSA, ICE, and the USDA, among other agencies.
Major US cities that have used, or currently use, Palantir for crime
analysis, license plate tracking, or gang database management include
Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, Salt Lake City, San Diego,
Washington DC, and New Orleans.
New York City Health + Hospitals has used Palantir to manage revenue
collection, though certain contracts have faced public opposition. In
Florida, Tampa General Hospital is a current partner.
Elsewhere
Palantir provides Israel with operational support to the IDF in Gaza and Lebanon.
France serves as Palantir’s main EU base, where they are embedded in
national intelligence and commercial sectors with companies such as
Airbus.

The Antithesis of Democracy
Under normal circumstances, Palantir would simply sound like a
defence vendor who had gotten too far out over its skis. However, in
defiance of society’s better impulses, Palantir has been permitted to
install its proprietary, all-seeing black boxes into an almost
unfathomable number of crucial systems via a sprawling spiderweb of
contracts that seat them within the deepest recesses of governance,
healthcare, and supply chains.
From this perch, Palantir is telling us that it does not require the
ballot to dictate policy. Karp and Thiel are no longer engaging in
ideological debate, but are handing down their mandate as an expression
of confidence that the Technological Republic has arrived.
