Imagine if this guy showed up at your front door and said, “I’m here to collect all of your personal information and while I’m doing that I’m going to clear up some misconceptions about the Nazis.”

Power without accountability: The Palantir manifesto The problems with our tech philosopher kings

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

palantir should be viewed as the enemy of modern society

agreed.

(Reassuringly) No, see, this is like Vietnam

- Fresh ($1-$2) or dried ($.25) basil to taste
- Seasoning (add heat if you want)

Total cost can be <$5.

In that case, if Trump continues with his war, he will be violating the War Power Resolution—in addition to usurping Congress's authority under the U.S. Constitution.

"We are pleased to share more than 125,000 U.S. Supreme Court records and briefs. These materials which span nearly two centuries of American law are now freely accessible online."

"Includes records and briefs spanning cases from 1830 through 2019."

BREAKING: Trump has signed an executive order invoking the Defense Production Act amid rising energy prices.

The order directs federal resources toward boosting production of petroleum, liquefied natural gas, coal, and power grid infrastructure.

When AIPAC gestures at "commitments" to Israel, it is always worth pointing out: not a treaty ally!

Hundreds of Fake Pro-Trump Avatars Emerge on Social Media

This strategy—using fake AI profiles to boost political causes—was tested during the 2022 recalls in San Francisco.
We called them the "Wencils" and they disappeared after being mapped and exposed. And now:

Astonishing levels of hypocrisy from the "free speech" social network. Half of the content on X is more incendiary than this!

Ironically, this will only bring more visibility to Gil's work.

Yep.

I'll let you in on the secret of being a free person. To be free ourselves we must all be brave enough to let others be free. By granting them autonomy, dignity, opportunity and equality, we move beyond the trap of seeing class and economic privilege and freedom as a personal possession. /12

Correct.

While we were fighting GWOT, Putin was fighting and winning Cold War II. (While that idiot Sullivan et. al. were babbling on about the Russian "reset." )

Putting an erratic, weak lifelong criminal compromised by Russia into the White House was the greatest intelligence coup in history. /1

There is even a deeper understanding of national security that the US simply fails to acknowledge because right-wing ideology forbids it.

On April 19, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear

Maine said no to new data centers. Other states are racing to follow. At least 12 more legislatures are weighing bills to halt grid-killing AI development.

This just shows the way these idiots have cosplayed into defense and security & all the ways that senior leaders & the acquisition enterprise let it slip because they were giving them "solutions" (that are still in development). This is just more transhumanism passing for *better security*.

U.S. Installs a Trump Loyalist to Lead ‘Grand Conspiracy’ Case Into Trump Foes

Anyone who read AMERICAN KLEPTOCRACY knows that I specifically mentioned Joe DiGenova as an example of an American lawyer acting as willing cutout for post-Soviet, pro-Moscow oligarchs interfering in American politics.

And now here we are.

The best movie scene from the bible

What the Dem platform for 2028 must be:
1. Epstein Trials
2. ICE Trials
3. War Crimes Tribunals

We don’t want to hear about a $10,000 tax credit for starting new AI businesses.

We demand JUSTICE.

The Brennan probe looks less like neutral fact-finding than an effort to convert Trump’s “Russia hoax” grievance into a DOJ-backed criminal theory against officials tied to the Russia investigation.

ICE Meeting Notes Detail Plans for Payments and Infrastructure in Maryland Meeting notes released through Washington County’s public records portal show officials discussed a $2-per-bed payment model alongside hundreds of millions in local infrastructure demands.

Meeting notes reviewed by Project Saltbox show ICE outlined payments, infrastructure needs and operations for a Maryland warehouse project — offering a window into how similar sites could be structured nationwide.

The Murdoch citizenship was the beginning of the Oligarchy building a lock on the information space of the nation through media acquisition and the subsequent blasting out of right-wing propaganda on an industrial scale. It combined a toxic mix including zero-sum politics, racism, and dominionism.
