(LifeSiteNews) — Palantir, a company you may have never heard of, wields an extraordinary amount of power within the Trump administration and throughout the world. 

Palantir is viewed by at least one astute observer as “the most dangerous company in the world” not only because of its tyrannical surveillance reach into American lives, but because of its terrifying power to trigger deadly military and societal decisions via its computer algorithms.

Interestingly, homosexual tech billionaire Peter Thiel — Palantir’s chairman, largest shareholder, and ideological spine — recently hosted a four-part lecture series on the Biblical Antichrist in Rome during Lent.

As far back as 2009, Thiel wrote that he had stopped believing freedom and democracy were compatible.

Palantir’s unprecedented threat to human existence

“Forget ExxonMobil. Forget Lockheed. Forget Facebook, Raytheon, Pfizer, BlackRock, every villain you’ve been trained to point at for the last thirty years,” wrote Dean Blundell in a chilling, eye-opening Substack commentary. “Those companies are dangerous the way a loaded gun on a table is dangerous — inert until somebody picks it up, and usually somebody does, and usually people die, and we write books about it afterward.”

“Palantir is dangerous in a category those companies don’t occupy,” explained Blundell. “Palantir is the first private corporation in history that has successfully fused four things that every civilization in recorded history has kept — deliberately, and at enormous cost — separate,” until now.

Those four capabilities are the surveillance apparatus of the state; the targeting engine of the military; the ideological project of a faction that openly wants democracy to end; and the capital of Jeffrey Epstein.

Palantir’s chairman wrote in 2009 that freedom and democracy are no longer compatible, according to Blandell: 

The CEO just published a book arguing that postwar denazification was a mistake and that some cultures are “regressive.” They bankroll a blogger who defends slavery. They helped install the Vice President of the United States. 

This is not a company that happens to have bad politics. The bad politics are the product roadmap.

Regarding Palantir’s unprecedented, unimaginable power to surveil and intrude into every citizen’s life, Blandell explained:

Every American’s tax records. Every immigrant’s file. Every license plate read by every camera. Every health record flagged for fraud. Every name on a watch list. Palantir’s Foundry and Gotham platforms don’t just access this data — they are the layer through which the government now sees itself. 

The East Germans needed 91,000 Stasi officers and 189,000 informants to surveil 17 million people. Palantir does the same job for 330 million Americans with a server rack and a login.

The IDF uses Palantir to pick targets in Gaza, and the U.S. Army recently handed Palantir a $10 billion contract. 

Palantir’s initial funding was provided in large part with an infusion of $40 million provided by child rapist Jeffrey Epstein.

Blundell published his riveting piece after Palantir posted a 22-point explanation titled “The Technological Republic,” charting its rise, its corporate philosophy, what it does and what it plans to do. The post on X has attracted more than 35 million views.

Because we get asked a lot.

The Technological Republic, in brief.

1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.

2. We must rebel…

Palantir’s brief online “manifesto” produced no controversy. As Blandell noted, “The press yawned. The market rallied,” and Palantir’s “stock went up.”

“This is what a regime looks like while it’s installing itself,” declared Blandell. “Not tanks. Not brownshirts. A software license, a CIA-backed venture round, a Tolkien-themed office, a bestselling book, and a chairman who thinks the Constitution is a bug.” 

“They put it in writing. They pinned it to the top of their feed. Then they went to bed like they hadn’t just faxed the 21st century a ransom note,” he wrote. 

Others also saw the horror in what Palantir had posted. “A Belgian philosopher called it ‘technofascism.’ Yanis Varoufakis said if Evil could tweet, this is what it would sound like,” noted Blandell. “A Substack theorist called it ‘the organising motor of the death spiral of the Western Empire.’”
