Seems like Doge might have been setup to facilitate this. They are cross referencing data from the HHS database. Big Brother.
The actual point of DOGE was to just backdoor and/or datadump as many government databases as possible and give them to Palantir. That’s it. That was the entire point. Everything else was simply theatrics.
Also firing all the agencies and agents investigating him.
Don’t forget completely fucking government contractors.
And to just stoke Elon’s ego in letting him have his own fake agency and show people that they can fuck with the economy and suffer jo consequences whatsoever.
oh awesome, Palantir, the same company profiting off the genocide in Gaza
CEO Alex Karp has been a vocal supporter of Israel. In November 2023, he stated, “I am proud that we are supporting Israel in every way we can.”
After October 2023, Palantir has provided Israel with multiple AI-powered data analytics tools for military and intelligence purposes.
In January 2024, Palantir held its board meeting in Israel and entered into a “strategic partnership” with Israel’s Ministry of Defense to help Israel’s “war effort.”
In October 2024, Norway’s largest asset manager, Storebrand, divested its Palantir shares, worth $24 million, due to concerns that Palantir’s work for Israel might implicate Storebrand in violations of international humanitarian law and human rights.
The Palantir tools were used to analyze the data trove that Microsoft was hosting for Israel. It contained all of the cellular data (metadata and call recording/MMS contents/data traffic) for the entirety of Palestine.
That tool’s detection of ‘terrorists’ was used to justify a massive portion of the air strikes on Palestine. Their beta test resulted in a genocide.
Palantir is complicit in war crimes and genocide, never forget that.
Now the fascists are using the terrorist language to target their political opponents in the US and using the same tools of genocide.
Palantir is literally Evil Corp.

Fucking hate how these shitheads take words from Tolkien’s works and bastardise them. Palantir, Anduril.
What’s next, a social credit system named “Silmaril”? An organisation that harvests the organs of homeless called “Rivendell”?
Just fucking stop.
I mean… Palantir showed Denethor false images of doom and despair fed by Sauron. It drove him to become a completely mad tyrant.
I think Palantir is a very apt name. They just don’t realise why.
Palantir should be trialed for crimes against humanity and literature
Meanwhile my dad: ‘you should really invest in this company Palantir’…
HOW is a Private Company like PALANTIR able to Get such SENSITIVE information Though?
-People who Get Upset at Privacy because they have Nothing To Hide TM!
Every palantir executive and voting shareholder needs to be prosecuted and have their assets siezed to pay for the damage they’ve done to American democracy and the Palestinian people and infrastructure
and to literature
What do you mean!
Defiling much beloved fantasy literature by naming their shitty surveillance systems after them. In other words he should fuck off and call them Daddy Trump or sth else and leave LOTR alone.
I too would want to know what this means
The same government officials paying to use it are probably the people mainly invested in it.
Is it possible that people could use flock or palantir stuff to track and collect info on ice agents? Their security is shit, yeah?
Flock’s security is shit.
Flock most certainly, I have no information on the palantir app.
ICE regularly uses fake license plates. You can do a bit, in that they dont swap constantly, but its not going to be as good as the tracking of private citizens
We cannot forget that DOGE has also stolen data from agencies. Most worrisome being the IRS who has records of all of your interest paying accounts and investments. One only need to use your imagination a little to what can happen. It is gonna be BAD.
If we don’t build these apps then someone far worse probably will. Therefore it’s better if we make the apps that allow untrained monkeys to find and execute people on US soil because at least we’ll do it right… ya know?
Palantir 2026… probably.
Lol, Palantir doesn’t care remotely enough to make an excuse like that. They’re openly proud of what they do.
…literally in the name
That whole “look how quirky and cool Alex Karp is” pr nonsense was BS from the start.
There should be some sort of halal version of popular ETFs that get rid of certain universally excepted evil companies. I just invest in QQQM, VTI, VOO, etc and forget, but I have a friend who buys stocks weighted by NASDAQ except for Palantir manually. Too much of a headache for me lol.
There are screened index funds like this https://www.justetf.com/en/etf-profile.html?isin=IE00BFNM3J75
Although we’ve now moved a good chunk to small capitalization and non-US to have less exposure to the coming tech bust.
Is that ETF (SNAW) you linked your default buy? I am relatively young and new to investing. I have some QQQM but wanted to move to something more ethical (ESG) and more diversified. Next paycheck I’ll probably buy one of the ESG S&P 500 trackers like EFIV.
That was the default buy, yeah. Now it’s going into a non-US esg filtered one that I can’t remember.
There is S&P 500 Shariah or if you’re christian there is S&P 500 Christian Values
I’m actually Sikh, but I would assume that Muslims, Christians, and Atheists alike, also share basic human values like don’t give money to companies that use child labor, sell weapons to terrorits, encourage dangerous addictions, etc. I don’t really care if the ETF is targeted towards a specific religion or not. My main gripe would be seeing their stock exclusion list for haram stocks are based on generic human values and not banning companies that sell pork for example.
I did a bit of research online and think EVIF might be what I’m looking for.
Maybe using the word Halal and Haram was confusing since those are Arab words so mostly used by Muslims and Christians.
I would say that if you eat chocolate, drink coffee or use any technology you most likely give money to companies that indirectly use child labor or poison the planet so all those indexes mean nothing to me. My reply was ironic, sorry for that.
Hey, this is called the Nirvana logical fallacy. Just because I do other unethical things in my life, that doesn’t mean buying an ethical ETF instead of a normal ETF is useless.
For example, using the Nirvana logical fallacy, I could justify not going to the gym today because I already ate unhealthy food for lunch. It is impossible to be live a perfectly healthy life, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t focus on trying to be as healthy as possible within the confines of what we are willing to sacrifice.
Same thing goes for living an ethical lifestyle.
Hope this helps!
Article starts with “Palantir…” 'nuf sa(i)d.
Would shit like incogni or delete me help in countering this somewhat?
No idea what level of defense is actually necessary; not having a phone, or any bills or official correspondence sent in your name to your home will suffice, but I don’t know what it takes which is less than that
First of all getting rid of the phone and internet will not remove what is already there. If I died right now all the data is still going to be there and not erased on account of me being dead.
I have been easing into reducing my online signature as much as possible over the past few years. It is far from perfect, I know. That is also the stuff going forward and does not handle what is already past.
Like I still watch videos on YouTube mostly, and I still have a compromised Gmail account (compromised in that no matter what I do someone or someones have been using it to sign up for shit that clearly isn’t mine). And while I no longer use my real for social media, and my last known usage of Facebook was from last summer (and I greatly diminished what I was doing over a few years at that point). None of this removes what data brokers already have.
Yeah, it takes something like the California data brokers opt out to do that.
Or actively poisoning their data sets at scale
