Last week, Palantir Technologies, headed by Peter Thiel and Alex Karp, released a technological manifesto. However, it was more of a dystopian blueprint than anything else.
Palantir has unmasked itself, revealing its authoritarian face and desire for control over humanity.
To be fair, Palntir is only one of several major technology companies that sell their technologies to systems of repression and human rights violations, and has been condemned by international human rights organizations. It has been participating in and enabling forced deportations, mass surveillance, and the persecution of dissidents.
According to a report by TruthDig, the most damning of all in this manifest were documented reports that have revealed a direct partnership between this company, alongside other Western technology companies such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, and the Israeli military, providing data and targeting systems that were used in operations in Gaza, making it an actual partner in documented war crimes against Palestinian civilians.
Palantir Technologies’ vision of a “Technological Republic” arrives as a manual for the refinement of the boot, the one destined to remain on the human face, provided the boot remains equipped with the latest predictive sensors. In the spirit of a clear-eyed look at the clock striking thirteen, we must dissect the alliance between corporate algorithmic power and the Zionist state. This is a new Newspeak, where “defense” is a moral debt and “deterrence” is the silent humming of an algorithm deciding who shall disappear.

This creates a dangerous accountability gap, a form of “algorithmic plausible deniability.” When an AI-informed strike levels an apartment complex, the blame is diffused into a “black box.” The developer claims the software only “suggests,” the data scientist claims the inputs were “objective,” and the military commander claims the machine’s logic was “optimal.” Alex Karp recently boasted to shareholders, “We are in the business of building things that scare our enemies and, on occasion, kill them,” a chilling affirmation of the firm’s central role in the escalating hostilities against Iran. –RT
This digital prison won’t only be used to kill those living in other countries. It could certainly be deployed against Americans, including those who reject whatever regime happens to be in power at the time.
