Main Topic: The video discusses Palantir Technologies and its increasing role in centralizing and managing US government data, raising concerns about privacy and potential abuse of power.
Key Points:
- An executive order in 2025 aimed to eliminate information silos within the government, centralizing data access.
- Palantir is heavily involved in building databases for government agencies, including immigration enforcement (Doge project), the IRS, CDC and Homeland Security.
- The speaker draws parallels to the Patriot Act and post-9/11 surveillance expansions, arguing that justifications for data collection often lead to broader applications beyond the initial stated purpose.
- Concerns are raised about the lack of oversight and potential for misuse of centralized data by Palantir, a private company.
- The video highlights the historical context of Palantir's founding, linking it to the "Total Information Awareness" initiative and figures like John Poindexter.
- The speaker emphasizes the irony of a private company now holding the kind of data that caused public outcry when the NSA was revealed to be collecting it.
Highlights:
- The Trump administration's motto: "Everyone is converting to Palantir."
- Palantir's involvement in managing sensitive data across multiple federal agencies, including health and financial information.
- The connection between Palantir's founders and the "Total Information Awareness" program.

Fuck Glenn Greenwald. He is a russian shill and supports russian genocidal imperialism.
I hope one day he meets the same fate as "Donbas cowboy", Russell Bentley:
I understand why the highly emotional response; we all have our subject that is dear to us. Mine is the Palestine genocide that is funded and fully supported by my country, the United States.
I would implore you to stop only consuming Western pro-war propaganda and check out people like Professor Jeffrey Sachs.
He outlines, in simple terms, the events that led to the war between Ukraine and Russia, as well as the Western push to also antagonize Iran and China.
Self-built echo chambers and self-censorship are not healthy, nor do they help our society; we must always be critical of our governments and the politicians (paid-off lackeys of the owner class, oligarchs).
Fuck Russia and fuck you, you piece of shit
We all get emotional on certain topics; it is understandable.
All is well, peace.
Sashs and Greenwald are russian shills and support russian gencidal imperialism.
Neither of them speak Ukrainian or russian (and have never lived in Ukraine or russia) and are merely reciting russian propaganda narratives (at times directly sourced from russian security services).
There is a beautiful irony in you chimping out about "echo chambers" and self-censorship when you can't even read Ukrainian or russian.
If you could read russian, you would find that their doctrinal government writings on propaganda approaches (from the 90s no less) specifically cite idiots like you (it's something along the lines of the "useful idiot" term, albeit the texts go into more detailed descriptions) and shills like Sachs as a core area for foreign propaganda distribution.
Ah, you also like to use Douglas Murray's desperate attempts at gatekeeping what people can and can't talk about.
I have not been to Palestine, nor do I speak Arabic, but I fully support the Palestinian people, and I know what my country is doing is fully supporting a genocide.
I don't need to visit a certain country or speak any language to be able to see what is really going on.
More forever wars where the working class is sent to die while the oligarchs sit back and take all the important resources.
Edit:
Wonderful irony that you can't even get the term Palestinian right (the individual initially said Pakistani).
You are so concerned about the plight of the Palestinians, that you can't even state their nationality correctly. 🤣
I have to say, thank you for the entertainment!
There is a reason russian propaganda manuals explicitly cite individuals like you as a perfect vehicle for propaganda and undermining foreign countries.
You don't know jack shit about the Ukrainian or russian working class and about Ukrainian/russian oligarchs.
Can you name one Ukrainian oligarch without a web search? Russian ones should be easier, but I bet you would struggle to name three.
Having misspellings and typos is your concern...
Weird, but you do you.
FYI: You also edited your comment, but you did not mention the edit...
Also, being exposed to only Western propaganda is not the honor you seem to believe it is.
We can all come to certain conclusions without needing (your preferred boogeyman) making us a puppet, bot, or brainwashed.
Just check out the Uhuru movement:

I did edit it, but I didn't mistake Ukrainian for Uruguayan. I merely added some more content; how you can't cite a single Ukrainian or russian oligarch.
Confusing Pakistani and Palestinians is not a typo.
You clearly don't care about the Palestinians and are merely using them for your aesthetic purposes (extremely common among fake leftist Americans).
I am done here.
Thanks for the small chat!
We all get emotional; it is understandable. I hope we can unite on other topics.
Like fixing the systematic economic problem our societies face, that would be great.
All is well, Peace.
