We can’t trust Palantir with our NHS data Is this really the company we should be entrusting with our health service’s digital architecture?

"Palantir is not just a problem of profiteering from our national healthcare system— it's a fundamental threat to the democratic control of our public infrastructure + the privacy of every citizen. By giving our taxes to this company, we are aiding their operations everywhere."

Tolling the Strait. Is Iran acting with reason in a Trumpian world? - Michael West To some, it may be heresy, but charging tolls for passage through the Strait of Hormuz looks reasonable in a Trumpian world.

"America’s equivalent of the Suez Crisis"

As ceasefire deadline looms, Trump's 'off-ramp' in Iran War may be Iran tolling the Strait of Hormuz. There's precedent.

The current settings of the #Australian tax system is literally the playbook for the 'Welfare for the Wealthy' game.
They are always punching down!

the Australian Future Fund is invested heavily in Palantir, because this setter-colonial nation state sees a future in fascist warmongering, surveillance of everyone everywhere all the time, carceral extractivism, and ofc racism.

I bet it’s in the phrasing of the question to extract the answer they want.

JFC Channel 9 working as hard as ABC to make BRS a sympathetic character.

For context 30+ armed service members are going to testify against him.

He is anything but worthy of our sympathy. Complete piece of shit.

It will be hard to convince me that this war was confected in order for the last gasp of money to be excavated from the general population before Fossil Fuels die in a gasping heap.

This is the problem with narcissistic sociopaths that can fake empathy when required. They take books ilke LOTR and *completely* fail to understand the subtext. Miss that there actually IS one so they take it literally.

The fact that these people are controlling the world is unbelievably scary.

The difference between Palantir and the techno madman in a Bond movie is the average Bond villain is less insufferable.

The only issue I have with this, is that all these jurisdictions getting rid of the *bases* but still buying all the weapons.

America will just up the price and at the same time install remote kill switches, a no self-service condition and a punishing subscription rate.

Personally, I think they're trolling us now.

They are so self-assured and self-confident that they have all the governments in their evil grip. So much so that they couldn't give a toss *what* we think.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

I read that article about the sexual torture the IDF put their prisoners through. I can't share the link, it's too depraved. I don't understand how people can be this evil.

To be fair to them, and trust me, I don't want to be, but their arrogance is somewhat justified, in that not a single government has refused their embedding deeply within the corridors of power.

Sorry. Switzerland has refused them. Germany is minimising their involvement and Denmark is "concerned".

If anything, the banks will up the rates because of a claimed loss of income due to lower mortgages.
Never forget: The banks are parasites, desperate to suck every last cent from your pocket.
