One man’s opinion about Palantir. That man is Ian Smith, Sr. and I hope he doesn’t mind me sharing.
Donald Trump just handed Palantir the contract to build the federal AI database, which will be the single most dangerous consolidation of power in modern American history.
Palantir isn’t a tech company.
It’s a surveillance machine born inside the CIA, funded through In-Q-Tel, and run by Peter Thiel — a billionaire data oligarch who openly brags about crushing right-wing populist movements in Europe with his software. Now he’s here, building the backbone of American AI.
This is the same Peter Thiel who:
• Groomed the character of JD Vance.
• Shapes national AI policymaker as an unelected powerbroker.
• Pretends to be “anti-woke” while embedding Palantir across every global intelligence agency.
And Trump – the guy who ran on “drain the swamp” – just handed him the keys.
You are watching a merger of Big Tech, Big Government, and Artificial Intelligence – branded as patriotism.
They’re not creating tools. They’re building infrastructure for digital authoritarianism.
Palantir has already been used for pre-crime arrests and pandemic lockdown enforcement. And now it’s being given access to national databases under the flag of “security.”
This isn’t the Patriot Act 2.0.
This is Revelation 13 in real time. “He causes all… to receive a mark… no man might buy or sell save he that had the mark.” You think the mark will look like a chip?
It’ll look like this: An AI assigning you a risk score. A predictive model determining your access to banking, travel, medicine. A tech priesthood deciding who’s “dangerous.”
And Trump is funding it. Palantir is the digital beast system. Thiel is its architect.
And conservatives are sleepwalking into their own captivity – cheering as their “anti-establishment” hero turns the surveillance state into a machine learning monster.
This isn’t freedom. This is Babel in binary.
