Peter Thiel gave Trump millions to allow his "protégé, JD Vance" to be the nation's vice president. He literally bought the position to install his personal 'toady' into the office of VP and to award him surveillance contracts with the Pentagon and other government entities all of which has now been done.

The Other 98% 

 

·The USDA just handed Palantir a $300 million no-bid contract to consolidate American farm data into a single platform, and the details deserve more attention than they are getting. The deal, built around something called "One Farmer, One File," will give one company a unified digital profile of every farmer in the country, their land, their subsidies, their supply chains, all of it running through the same Foundry platform that already powers ICE deportations and military targeting.

Since trump took office, Palantir's federal contracts have nearly doubled, spanning Defense, Homeland Security, ICE, Treasury, Justice, HHS, and now the USDA. The USDA is just the latest door to open, and this one leads straight to the food supply.

The company behind all of this was co-founded by Peter Thiel, the creepiest billionaire in a field that has no shortage of competition, a man whose biographer described his politics as essentially longing for a dictator, who launched Palantir with CIA seed money, bankrolled JD Vance's Senate run with $15 million, and once wrote that democracy has been in decline since women's suffrage rendered "capitalist democracy" an oxymoron. Running the day-to-day operation is CEO Alex Karp, who has told investors the company exists to "scare enemies and on occasion kill them," warned audiences that "some people are going to get their heads cut off," and fantasized about spraying Wall Street analysts with fentanyl-laced urine. Former employees have publicly condemned his increasingly violent rhetoric, and a manifesto the company recently posted online was described across the political spectrum as cartoonishly fascist.

So when the trump administration hands this particular company a no-bid contract over American agricultural infrastructure, that is not a bureaucratic footnote. Palantir will now have visibility into what farmers grow, how disaster relief gets distributed, how fraud gets flagged, and how foreign land ownership gets monitored, with the full system not expected to be complete until 2028 and years of expansion still ahead. Putting the surveillance architecture of the American security state in charge of the food supply, with zero competitive bidding and minimal public debate, should concern a lot more people than it currently does.
