"Enjoyed this?" you ask. No, I did not enjoy this post, not one little bit. "Forward to a friend who'd like it." I don't have any friends who'd like it. Maybe different wording: "Did this post make your blood run cold?" "Do you have any friends you'd like to terrify?"
I agree A.I. needs to be severely regulated to mitigate the worst effects it might have on humanity, but maybe this manifesto isn't as bad as it has been presented to be. It contains so many unsupported opinions and generalizations about what people think or how the world is that it seems far less authoritative to me than it is merely aspirational.
For instance, point 17's concern about violent crime doesn't acknowledge that beginning in 2022, "murder and violent crime" started falling at such a rate (18.5%-23% per year) that they are now at a 60-year low in America. (I don't know why murder is separate. It's a violent crime, isn't it?) Obviously, somebody must be addressing the need to reduce violent crime.
If A.I. is going to work as the new foundation of an age of deterrence, then all the world powers will have it, and, like atomic weapons, no one will use it to destroy anyone. At least, not after the first power does it once or twice. (I'm looking at you, America.)
Amusingly, point 16 suggests the author is completely out of touch with the majority of people. Does the culture almost snicker at "Musk's interest in grand narrative as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves"? How tone deaf are they? Musk's grand narrative includes leaving a dying earth to colonize Mars, a planet that is far less supportive of life than Earth is. Snicker? I'm laughing out loud. He's not a visionary, he's a child living in a fantasy world. Are any of us saying billionaires should stay in their own lane of enriching themselves? Or are we saying their greed and eagerness to keep expanding the wealth gap to create a feudal system of the wealthy and the serfs -- instead of improving the lives of those who provide the labor that creates the wealth they hoard -- is obscene and needs to be stopped by having them pay their proportional share of taxes. But what's their solution? Get rid of the workers. I say, pursue your dream of eternal life on Mars and take all the other delusional, out of touch billionaires with you.
Besides, don't people run away to Argentina when they know they're going to be tried as war criminals?
So this is what you did while on vacation? It is certainly quite an indictment of Palantir and the people in charge. This of course needs to be broadcast far and wide if anything can be done to reverse actions. Thanks, Dean, for bringing this to light. Indeed, democracy does die in darkness.
Yes, exposing can only be the first step and this is why I proudly support Dean Blundell and other independent journalists. But proactive pushback should come next: Indeed, although Project 2025 was widely disseminated during the 2024 Campaign with all its scary intensions, it did not stop voters from reelecting Trump!
Unfortunately it's been known about for.several years. Some of us who knew started talking about it on Substack way before the election..while he was running.
These people are SOOO sick. 🤮 This is what they do with the brilliant minds God gave them. What a horrible world they envision - and are working toward. After reading this and thinking of all the implications, I’m grateful I have limited time left. I can’t imagine anyone this cruel could be happy. Happy is the best thing ever. I’ll take that over all the billions, control or power any day of the week.
This is it..Gifted and used for pure evil. Epstein also believed in that body hacking and living for ever and impregnating women at that Zorro ranch like Elon has done with 14 children. They think they have superior sperm and wanted a master race. It's eugenics. I too am glad I have more behind me than ahead. I'm worried for the kids in my family. 😥
Yeah but they do not have superior sperm- That's their dellusion- They just think with their peckers- and well- that's not a good thing- I worry for ALL of our children.
Well luckily Epstein is dead but we don't know if he has spawned. And Elon..So deranged. This is why he cannot cope his trans daughter (who despises him.and says yes, he is absolutely a Nazi, and was once his son who he considers dead. Thinks the "woke mind virus" caused it. He thinks his child could not have been born that way with his "superior" DNA and genetics. (so superior he once cried in an interview about the abuse he suffered at the hands of a morally bankrupt and corrupt father and white supermacist mother) News flash you Nazi scum. She WAS born that way. Who would choose to be trans and have to go through so much heartache and pain and suffering? Imagine being trapped in a body that doesn't match the gender you feel inside. Instrad of loving her, and accepting her, you have shown what an absolute despicable person you are. For.such a "brilliant" person, you don't even know how science works. No one turns someone trans or gay. It is nature, not nurture. She has your DNA. Unfortunately she cannot scrub your filth from inside her body. And.for his other children...all IVF (the one he actually had sex with and had his child is suing him). He insists they all have c-sections because he thinks going through the birth canal.and vagina causes brain damage. Women have been giving birth for thousands of years, but this demented drug addict thinks he knows more than nature. He should have OD'd on ketamine..The world would have been better off.
Thank you Robin! You are so right! It truly is just a sick, evil madness. There’s arrogance, which in itself is just not pleasant coming at a person. Then there is this out of worldly comprehension sick arrogance that is so evil and masochistic, we don’t really have words for it.
You are very sweet. I'm ok. I just cry for humanity, and children who have no control how or what they are born. They are innocent, and we are raising a.generation that are just lost. Either due to ignorance of parents, or their Ignorance.due to their religious beliefs. (Don't even get me.started on comversion.therapy) I have watched my little nieces and.nephews.grow...as long as they are good and kind people with good hearts, I will love them whatever they are. Whoever they love. Whatever they turn out to be. I know.their parents feel.the same so.I know our kids.will always feel loved and be okay... It hurts me for the ones that won't. I'm sensitive to that. Thanks Patricia..Just got me on a sad day. Thanks for listening. 🙏❤ Means a lot.
But are they brilliant? Or are they like teenage boys in A Clockwork Orange. Twisting Tolkien’s literature into a new form of fascism? Most boys realize that it was literature, a story, not a new world order for them to impose on millions of other human beings. Brilliant or Orks?
Their "brilliant" minds are only in one direction. Thiel and Musk, and others like them, do not understand social interactions between people. Governments and systems need to be for the people, not trying to control the people.
I feel exactly the same way. I told my mother when I was 7 "Mommy, I'm never having a baby". I was true to my word and I have never regretted my choice. And it was a choice. I have the love of many children in my life I treasure, but felt no need to bring more into this insanity and I am a senior.
For some reason I have been thinking about this company all day. I wish IRAN would pay attention and destroy that entire company. Bomb the hell out of it so they can't recover. Arrest Peter Thiel. You have to take the head of the snake to get rid of it.
They would have to bomb the hell out of us. It's installed in our country, in our govt. I can't worry about Israel. I'm worried about my life and our country.
I am not so worried about Israel either, but Palantir has ALL of our information that can be used in any way they wish. I was talking about the mainframe of Palantir, destroying the mainframe would wipe out their information base and it would take years for them to get it back together. It wouldn't destroy our country - only the building in Europe where the mainframe is stored.
Oh, is it stored in Europe? I think I missed that. I would think there would be many servers as back up and Oracle hosting them in the clouds (even more than AWS or Microsoft) IMHO I see Ellison involved with this too. I think a James Bond villain like Peter Thiel and his fascist Nazi partner in crime Elon Musk and his Starlink Satellites that he probably has his own little Nazi game controller to, would have thought of all that already. I don't think it's one mainframe in one location. The fear by many experts at the time with the Dogebags were that they were installing back door codes like viruses in many of our systems that can never be found.
Did you ever see the video of the two they questioned a few months ago asking how they decided what to delete looking for "waste, fraud and abuse" 😳 Dead eyes. Could barely speak a coherent sentence, they are just soulless coders who worked for Elon and were given their marching orders to use Chat GPT looking for code words for anything with "DEI" of things to destroy. It's why they removed the photo of the "Enola Gay" from the Air Force website. The bomber that dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima, because it had the word " gay" in it. The pilot Paul Tibbets named the plane after his mother. Her name was "Enola.Gay". Gay used to be a woman's name back then. It also used to be a word that meant " happy and cheerful" but none of these morons know history. They probably thought it was a flying gay bar. It was found to be deleted and restored.
They don't think. They don't care about humanity...they are like AI robots already. Somebody wrote once on a board "where are the good hackers? Don't we have them anymore"? No, the money they make is in destruction and we are the worst with cyber security. 4 times last year I got letters from major companies I never heard of that had security breaches. Timing could not have been more apparant. They were involved with my Health insurance, life insurance, Finance, etc. It is just unfathomable to me. The two worst immigrants and naturalized citizens we ever let into our country (three if you include Rupert Murdoch) that should have been the first ones deported...not these poor fruit pickers. It's why Trump got rid of Cnris Krebs a few years ago...a top cyber security expert who testified we had one of the safest voting systems when they were screaming about Dominion machines being controlled by Hugo Chavez (who was dead) and changing Trump votes to Biden. We have a brain drain. China, Russia, Eastern Europe, North Korea and Whether you hate them or not ISRAEL has brilliant techs too. They have far surpassed us. My eBay account in 2000 was hacked by Romania. 25 years ago! I worked on computers and mainframes in my youth. I used to be a techy and I have built my own PCs, but the technology is way more advanced now that I can't keep up with anymore. I'm lucky I can work my Iphone. No, with them, I don't believe It's a "one and done" deal that you can just bomb and get rid of. If I have 10 external drives backing up my info from my PCs over the years, what do you think they have?
BUT EVERY STUPID PERSON ON EARTH BELIEVES HE WON AN ELECTION!!! EVEN "THE NEWS"!!! THEY KEEP SAYING "in 3 years" like ANY of "us" will live that long!!! WAKE UP!!!
PLEASE, HE DID NOT WIN!!! EVEN IF YOU WON’T BELIEVE THAT TRUTH, believe he IS CRAZY!!! WE ARE ALL IN DANGER!!! Someone erased the red line!!!
Chris Krebs was talking about the 2020 election that Biden won. Are you talking about 2024? I'm sorry, I don't have time to read all the links. Definitely I believe 2024 was stolen by Elon and Thiel and their hackers. Kamala didn't win one swing state? Pls.
And you don't think I believe Trump.is cray cray? He's a deranged and demented moral degenerate. I'm afraid we won't even make the midterms. By 2028 the damage he can do, even if we do win the house and/or senate is incalculable. He will.still have veto power, pardon power, and his Christofascists. I'm not hopeful.about anything at all. I am just happy this news about Thiel and the tech bros and Planatir is out. I see by the comments how many people had no idea what was going on behind the scenes that I have known for ages. I wish I could find the posts I wrote from back then. . I already wrote and said in 2024 Trump was the useful idiot Trojan Horse they nedfed to get into power. None of them would have been elected dog catcher on their own.
You are right. They have to have backups. I just saw that giant Palantir building in Europe and assumed the mainframe was located there. The idea of destroying it was so exciting.
I was raised before computers, and taught myself as things progressed. Then they started progressing too fast and I couldn't keep up. Now, as you said, operating a cell phone sometimes can be too much. I remember mainframes taking up rooms, now they are in the clouds.
Perhaps it's just a wish that there is a way to destroy something so toxic. AI has it's place, but it doesn't need to hold all our information. What's the purpose of signing a HIPPA form if Palantir already has our medical history? Some things should remain private.
Perhaps Elon will take all his rich buddies to Mars!
May I call you Toni for ease? Hi. I didn't even know there was a Planitir building in Europe! I'm all for destroying it even if it only held copy machines. What a horrible, poisonous company. Must be headquartered in Europe to avoid taxes. I was reading this late last night and was up till 3 am. I'm going to have to reread it anyway, because it was BIG news today. There is so much news and I have so many sub I can't keep up. I made so many spelling mistakes and was hoping my comments wouldn't be incoherent.
There are still servers kept in cool temperature rooms, but I think the whole way they are stored and located are different now. I worked on mainframes in my youth, when we had to dial into a computer in Boston that held my companies info and programs and we had the programmers there that I loved working with. I'm very detail oriented so I really enjoyed working with programmers when I worked for a company that had an in-house IT dept with our own servers that had to be backed up every night, but I liked interfacing with the programmers because when there was an error I could just go to them, tell them the error I found and get it fixed....I could pick out a needle in a haystack. I just had to find the haystack! And when you are working with servers and you lose a backup, it can be devestating. It's my only reason why I know everything has to be backed up probably in several places including the clouds. My Iphone/Ipad photos and passwords are in the clouds. My Amazon Kindle fire tablet photos, bookmarks, passwords, wi-fi passwords, etc in the clouds. I've had to restore backups from them. So imagine my biggest concern is 5 years worth of bookmarks, photos, passwords, and my kindle library, while they are worried about the personal info and dirt they have on 330 million Americans. I hate how fast the tech is moving
2 things. . I got to my doctor at NYU Langone last year and as I'm checking in they ask me if I would like to sign in with my HANDPRINT t will be uploaded and stored there at Amazon I'm always nice to.the people at the desk..they are only doing their jobs, but I said "You want my handprint to sign in with Amazon? And I laughed and said to the woman " Are you on drugs? You can absolutely forget that I will ever give that to Amazon . NEVER! And she said not a problem. Se'll sign you in the other say. They are Never getting that!
The other thing is (and forgive me) but What I would Elon to do is take a Ketamine trip and never come back. Like OD, because that is the closest to space he is ever getting. He is a coward. He's never flown on his own Space X Dragon module and he never will. And he thinks he's taking 3 or 4 women from his compound and 14 children to Mars? He will never see it.
Yes, I completely understand. We all want this destroyed. We all want our privacy back. We all have been lied to. You don't know what I had to go through to get my Real Id last year.Practically everything but a DNA test. I won't even use feature to get into my phone with my finger print. Password only. What a day Toni. Very nice to meet you. I am utterly drained! Have a great night. Good talk!
Thank you Robin for this interesting and thought provoking talk. I joined Substack to get to know people I could exchange ideas with (it certainly didn't bring me the money I had hoped. LOL) I get to spout off about things I care about, and what I observe from years of experience. I don't have a great following - the former mainstream media kind of took Substack over before the election in 2024 and took away a chance to make some extra money. Anyway, I like taking to intelligent people, so it's a pleasure getting to talk to you. - Toni
Is ray-el will turn on us!! Lots of land for greater "is"!!! We never learn!! Lets make more agreements with the FAKE repubs!!! They are NOT human beings, they are creatures!!!
That’s a lot of empirical detail organized and presented concisely enough given its origins and threat severity. I’ll speak very simply in its face: Fuck Thiel, those complicit and their [powerful] software… They picked the wrong industrially, technologically and NEIGHBORLY developed society to try and get away with this shit. Weaponized money may have brought on this threat, but the POWER OF THE PEOPLE will repel their Artificially Inhuman fascism - ‘Artificially’ as these fascists are not human in as much as they are (organic) pathogens.
The problem is that people do not know what’s going on. They’re not on Substack. They are listening to CNN at best. People with whom I share value systems role their eyes. Not here. Not in America 😳
That is correct - however, they know that something fundamental is wrong and will only respond when their voice is invited. Here’s how we can spread the word so that their voice is (insisted upon) to be invited:
November Is Everything…if we make it! | Update/edit: It’s NOT Everything - Everything includes calling out the HARMS pointedly for what they are: e.g., The Maga Murder Bill instead of The Big Ugly Bill.
1) Encourage employers of all sizes to close on election day (with or without pay)
2) Encourage all people to identify & assist those vulnerable with Obtaining Required ID/Documentation
3) Encourage all to identify & assist those vulnerable with Access To Physical Polls - ready to pivot to last minute changing of poll locations without notice
4) Encourage all to identify & assist those vulnerable by Providing ‘Cover’ and Representation for them at The Polls
5) Encourage all - Starting NOW - Well Ahead Of The Midterms, that these measures May Be Necessary and To Anticipate the Subversion and likelihood of Federal Agents being Present at The Polls
6) Encourage all to phone camera image their Voting Machine Receipt Scroll Pages Where Possible - (How can this be PRE-organized to Prevail if needed against the claims of “Fraud?”)
7) PRE-address messaging to Gen Z on a mass scale to minimize turnout insufficiency / Stimulate Their Future politics and Power To Effect Change
Copy this to the main page!!! I have to go find the psychiatrists letters!!! No I;m NOT kidding!!!
NO!!! Forget 3 years, most of us will be dead or in "camps"!!! WE MUST FIND A LEADER WHO WILL TAKE BACK OUR DEMOCRACY NOW!!! Sorry, I realize you are a MAN, but honestly, MEN don't know EVERYTHING!!! WAKE UP!!!
PLEASE, HE DID NOT WIN!!! EVEN IF YOU WON’T BELIEVE THAT TRUTH, believe he IS INSANE!!! WE ARE ALL IN DANGER!!! Someone erased the red line!!!
Ok, this woman is calm! She speaks slowly!! But she is brilliant!! She has been warning us FOR YEARS!!! She wrote at least 2 books about runt!!! She warned congress members, BEFORE the election!!! They declined her help!!! Start believing the truth!!! Not the people who are lying if their mouths are open!!!! PLEASE, HE DID NOT WIN!!! EVEN IF YOU WON’T BELIEVE THAT TRUTH, believe he IS INSANE!!! WE ARE ALL IN DANGER!!! Someone erased the RED line!!!
Agree. So many Americans (who bother to vote) don’t even do any research before voting. Too many are too careless, too busy, too uninformed, too partisan, believing Dems are the enemy within while the Republicans every day are complicit in blatant corruption, hatred, destruction, & war crimes because they let Trump & his hacks run wild. Rs could stop this but they don’t. How many Americans realize what all is going on in typical politics let alone the techno-fascists’ plans? This country is in deep 💩.
Look for something online or Youtube called the Nerd.Reich with Gil.Duran,.who ironically was just.bamned.from.Twitter over.this. It is frightening, and the AI.
I think they have been implanting their systems for years, little by little so it wasn’t obvious, until it is, seems they played and “HAD” the long game! As Robin said “They would have to bomb the hell out of us. It's installed in our country, in our govt” Again, glad I’m old, but my heart breaks, deeply breaks for those younger, god help them! How can this even be stopped, slowed or better yet destroyed?
It can’t be, but it can be contained and controlled.… Peacefully through elections with November being The Key, pivot point for the republic. | Update/edit: Important actions to control the tide against this fascism also absolutely includes calling out the HARMS pointedly for what they are: e.g., The Maga Murder Bill instead of The Big Ugly Bill.
NO!!! Forget 3 years, most of us will be dead or in "camps"!!! WE MUST FIND A LEADER WHO WILL TAKE BACK OUR DEMOCRACY NOW!!! Sorry, I realize you are a MAN, but honestly, MEN don't know EVERYTHING!!! WAKE UP!!!
PLEASE, HE DID NOT WIN!!! EVEN IF YOU WON’T BELIEVE THAT TRUTH, believe he IS INSANE!!! WE ARE ALL IN DANGER!!! Someone erased the red line!!!

Fuck me! This is a lot. 🤮🤬How do we even begin to rip the head off the snake?!?! We need a Luigi Mangione up in here stat. Their entire infrastructure needs to be burned to the ground.
Thank you Dean for bringing this to light. I'm sharing now.
There is another writer who believes gm is the head of the snake!!! And runt is going to pardon her!!!! Search for me....AAA.... I will try and post it again!!!!
Lots of really smart writers on Substack!!! Not me, but I am good at re-posting!!!
PLEASE, HE DID NOT WIN!!! EVEN IF YOU WON’T BELIEVE THAT TRUTH, believe he IS CRAZY!!! WE ARE ALL IN DANGER!!! Someone erased the red line!!!
Sigh, in the early Sixties my little brother read the Hobbit, and then started on the trilogy. We both had read the whole thing by the time I was 16 (1966). For Christmas one year, my mother gave each of us the boxed set of the trilogy. My brother went on to read all the associated books, but to me it was just a fairy tale. I see Thiel has bought into the whole thing. And he went to Stanford. Not for nothing do we Berkeley people call it the Stanford Crime Family but at least Thiel has moved to LA. However, it is my understanding that Yarvin lives in Berkeley, but I don't get out much. Being at Berkeley in the late Sixties, and of a nodding acquaintance with the FBI, I never got a cell phone. At least on my computer or on the phone, I'm always in the same place if someone is looking for me. I'm not sure how these people expect to survive the climate crisis, but it is my understanding that Thiel has built a bunker outside a village on the South Island of New Zealand, but the authorities would not allow him to build any more for friends. We all (?) know Zuckerberg is working on his Hawaiian island, and has quite the compound in Palo Alto (he's bought up a whole block now). Still I think survival depends more on basic skills, not computer stuff, which really, doesn't grow food or make clothes... When we get rid of t we should get rid of thiel and yarvin, and their friends. We need leaders like Carney and Zelenskyy, and people who don't measure up to them should not be leaders. Period.
Odd. The point of JRR Tolkien’s writing was against technology. Hence the entire battle of the good side, including the little guy, against the evil. The books are a blueprint not a fairytale. So unless you are only stating these evil people (Theil Yarvin and the rest) are trying to fill Sauron’s shoes, that much I see as true. Yet bottom line, it’s the nature loving multitudes of differing cultures joining together that beat the shit out of Sauron and all his supporters. Deans article definitely shows we’re in for it, but what if we are the good side and we can win?
I've always thought Curtis Yarvin was this century's Rasputin. That boy is bat-shit crazy and his 'followers' like Thiel are too stupid to see how bat-shit crazy Yarvin is (I swear, I can't read anything he writes it is so poorly executed!). Llike Czar Nicholas and especially the Empress--they got sucked in by Rasputin and it resulted in their deaths. I kind of see the same potential outcome with Yarvin...
Always think the ‘long game’. Folks like Thiel and Yarvin have tunnel vision—they think the now is all there is. Hitler thought that too in 1942…by 1945–not so much (dead on April 9th). He went from the top of the hill to the bottom pretty fast.
Humans as Homo sapiens have been on this planet for 70,000 years and we still don’t have our shit together—perhaps we’ll need 70,000 more. Yes, Palantir is a huge problem right now—as is AI….but this too shall change. Change is the natural order of things and in the overall big picture—humans are always improving. Yes, we have times when things are really bad—but we always come back up. Hang in there.
FYI…I saw on the Parnas Perspective this morning—Aaron showed a clip of Tucker Carlson apologizing to his listeners for supporting Trump and encouraging them to do so. He said he was wrong and his conscience owes a debt. Who’d a thunk it….so, Yarvin, Thiel? Get in line folks….
Well, these are not well-balanced human beings. They’ve latched on to a very narrow, fear and hate-filled vision of life. They bring chaos and disruptions….
The reason I call Yarvin the Rasputin of our day—he completely bamboozled the Russian royal family and they made decisions that ultimately enabled the Russian revolution and the ripple effect of that is still happening to this day. But it is not what he predicted at all.
Yarvin has already hinted that he’s got this wrong…and we shall see….
Hope so cause Thiel is full steam ahead. He came out on top. Yarvin never became as rich. There's a NYT article (sorry Paywall) from March about Thiel giving talks on the Anti-Christ on Rome near the Vatican..Or you can Google it. He's not Catholic, but brought up Christian Evangelical. I wonder if he has anything to do with what has been going on with the Pope. JD Vance is his disciple but converted to Catholicism, is writing a book about it and going on a book tour, and all of a sudden he's questioning the Pope's theology about war? I'm not Christian so I don't understand a lot of the differences, and they may have a hate-filled life, but Elon is going to have a trillion dollats and they are the 1% who own the world. One lunatic in charge of our Space Program and who has Starlink satellites that he can turn on and off at will and is buddies with Putin and Xi. They are billionaires who are pushing their right wing vision on Europe. The neoNazis in Germany. and are also raging anti-Semites. This is deeply entrenched in Silicon Valley now. Most people are worried about gas and food...they cannot comprehend what is coming with AI and all of this. Only good thing is it must have killed them when Orban was defeated. Good. One for the good guys. But the danger is PALANTIR (and the fact that Stephen Miller is invested too).and it is not going away. It's like living in a police state now.They combined 4 depts in this country that were separate for a reason. I have had 4 security breaches (not because of anything I did). I am on the datk web. Some Russian got my cellphone number that I never use where they sell the #s online. have everything frozen. I am getting more spam and robocalls then ever. I pay a company to monitor everything. It's because of this.
Yeah. I've been reading about Thiel et al for some time. Thiel is an Ozymandias-to-be. What's with all these would-be World Ruler types? Were their fathers aggressive towards them?
WIRED too has authored pieces critical of Thiel's expressed aims and Schmitt-inspired beliefs.
What I 'liked' best about your excellent article today was:
1) the enlightening info about IBM's role in the Nazi regime (utterly sick-making 'efficiency');
2) your very good references to the rapacious take-over, impoverishment and civilizational thefts carried out by the British owners and employees of the East India Company on the Indian sub-continent;
3) your reference to the Japanese forces' Rape of Nanking (Nanjing); and
4) the phrases about 'unneutering' Germany and Japan.
I've been reading bits and pieces on those folks for some time. Your capture of this empire building and the depth of which they have already infiltrated; it appears they are well on their way with execution. The fact that those you've listed have been common names for many years in business and/or governments; demonstrates the head start they have. Thank you for your detailed and insightful article - even though it's scary as heck. Educating people on this and on the challenges that lie ahead - this is foundational. Let's all find a way to educate those who can make a difference; and maintain some of democracies. Much appreciated Dean!
Stephen Cohen, Joe Lonsdale, P Theil and Alex Karp = Palantir. Don't leave out L Ellison's Oracle - Palantir and Oracle are hand in hand corrupt depravity.
"Enjoyed this?" you ask. No, I did not enjoy this post, not one little bit. "Forward to a friend who'd like it." I don't have any friends who'd like it. Maybe different wording: "Did this post make your blood run cold?" "Do you have any friends you'd like to terrify?"
Yup agree. This is beyond vile. What to do? Ugh.
WTF???
Heidi, My response exactly - for initial to initial! W T F 😳
💯😱
I agree A.I. needs to be severely regulated to mitigate the worst effects it might have on humanity, but maybe this manifesto isn't as bad as it has been presented to be. It contains so many unsupported opinions and generalizations about what people think or how the world is that it seems far less authoritative to me than it is merely aspirational.
For instance, point 17's concern about violent crime doesn't acknowledge that beginning in 2022, "murder and violent crime" started falling at such a rate (18.5%-23% per year) that they are now at a 60-year low in America. (I don't know why murder is separate. It's a violent crime, isn't it?) Obviously, somebody must be addressing the need to reduce violent crime.
If A.I. is going to work as the new foundation of an age of deterrence, then all the world powers will have it, and, like atomic weapons, no one will use it to destroy anyone. At least, not after the first power does it once or twice. (I'm looking at you, America.)
Amusingly, point 16 suggests the author is completely out of touch with the majority of people. Does the culture almost snicker at "Musk's interest in grand narrative as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves"? How tone deaf are they? Musk's grand narrative includes leaving a dying earth to colonize Mars, a planet that is far less supportive of life than Earth is. Snicker? I'm laughing out loud. He's not a visionary, he's a child living in a fantasy world. Are any of us saying billionaires should stay in their own lane of enriching themselves? Or are we saying their greed and eagerness to keep expanding the wealth gap to create a feudal system of the wealthy and the serfs -- instead of improving the lives of those who provide the labor that creates the wealth they hoard -- is obscene and needs to be stopped by having them pay their proportional share of taxes. But what's their solution? Get rid of the workers. I say, pursue your dream of eternal life on Mars and take all the other delusional, out of touch billionaires with you.
Besides, don't people run away to Argentina when they know they're going to be tried as war criminals?
So this is what you did while on vacation? It is certainly quite an indictment of Palantir and the people in charge. This of course needs to be broadcast far and wide if anything can be done to reverse actions. Thanks, Dean, for bringing this to light. Indeed, democracy does die in darkness.
Yes, exposing can only be the first step and this is why I proudly support Dean Blundell and other independent journalists. But proactive pushback should come next: Indeed, although Project 2025 was widely disseminated during the 2024 Campaign with all its scary intensions, it did not stop voters from reelecting Trump!
Unfortunately it's been known about for.several years. Some of us who knew started talking about it on Substack way before the election..while he was running.
These people are SOOO sick. 🤮 This is what they do with the brilliant minds God gave them. What a horrible world they envision - and are working toward. After reading this and thinking of all the implications, I’m grateful I have limited time left. I can’t imagine anyone this cruel could be happy. Happy is the best thing ever. I’ll take that over all the billions, control or power any day of the week.
This is it..Gifted and used for pure evil. Epstein also believed in that body hacking and living for ever and impregnating women at that Zorro ranch like Elon has done with 14 children. They think they have superior sperm and wanted a master race. It's eugenics. I too am glad I have more behind me than ahead. I'm worried for the kids in my family. 😥
Yeah but they do not have superior sperm- That's their dellusion- They just think with their peckers- and well- that's not a good thing- I worry for ALL of our children.
Well luckily Epstein is dead but we don't know if he has spawned. And Elon..So deranged. This is why he cannot cope his trans daughter (who despises him.and says yes, he is absolutely a Nazi, and was once his son who he considers dead. Thinks the "woke mind virus" caused it. He thinks his child could not have been born that way with his "superior" DNA and genetics. (so superior he once cried in an interview about the abuse he suffered at the hands of a morally bankrupt and corrupt father and white supermacist mother) News flash you Nazi scum. She WAS born that way. Who would choose to be trans and have to go through so much heartache and pain and suffering? Imagine being trapped in a body that doesn't match the gender you feel inside. Instrad of loving her, and accepting her, you have shown what an absolute despicable person you are. For.such a "brilliant" person, you don't even know how science works. No one turns someone trans or gay. It is nature, not nurture. She has your DNA. Unfortunately she cannot scrub your filth from inside her body. And.for his other children...all IVF (the one he actually had sex with and had his child is suing him). He insists they all have c-sections because he thinks going through the birth canal.and vagina causes brain damage. Women have been giving birth for thousands of years, but this demented drug addict thinks he knows more than nature. He should have OD'd on ketamine..The world would have been better off.
:)
Thank you Robin! You are so right! It truly is just a sick, evil madness. There’s arrogance, which in itself is just not pleasant coming at a person. Then there is this out of worldly comprehension sick arrogance that is so evil and masochistic, we don’t really have words for it.
No Patricia. No.words. Mostly tears when I'm alone. 😥
I truly hurt for you. 🥺
You are very sweet. I'm ok. I just cry for humanity, and children who have no control how or what they are born. They are innocent, and we are raising a.generation that are just lost. Either due to ignorance of parents, or their Ignorance.due to their religious beliefs. (Don't even get me.started on comversion.therapy) I have watched my little nieces and.nephews.grow...as long as they are good and kind people with good hearts, I will love them whatever they are. Whoever they love. Whatever they turn out to be. I know.their parents feel.the same so.I know our kids.will always feel loved and be okay... It hurts me for the ones that won't. I'm sensitive to that. Thanks Patricia..Just got me on a sad day. Thanks for listening. 🙏❤ Means a lot.
But are they brilliant? Or are they like teenage boys in A Clockwork Orange. Twisting Tolkien’s literature into a new form of fascism? Most boys realize that it was literature, a story, not a new world order for them to impose on millions of other human beings. Brilliant or Orks?
👍💙💪
Their "brilliant" minds are only in one direction. Thiel and Musk, and others like them, do not understand social interactions between people. Governments and systems need to be for the people, not trying to control the people.
They can never get enough. Nothing will ever be enough for these soulless people.
It doesn't mean we have to put up with it. Does it? My hopes are we find a way not to-
Giving up is not in my nature.
glad to hear it
Which sounds eerily like sociopathic mind set …
Thank god I didn’t have children.
I feel exactly the same way. I told my mother when I was 7 "Mommy, I'm never having a baby". I was true to my word and I have never regretted my choice. And it was a choice. I have the love of many children in my life I treasure, but felt no need to bring more into this insanity and I am a senior.
I’m 67. I have a niece. That is all I need.
I have 7 nieces and nephews. Love them to pieces. So glad I can leave at the end of the visit. 🤗
So true and you get to do all of the fun things.
Karen, BINGO!
Ronald Robertson - I really appreciate that you thought my comments worthy of a restack! Thank you!
Anytime Robin!
For some reason I have been thinking about this company all day. I wish IRAN would pay attention and destroy that entire company. Bomb the hell out of it so they can't recover. Arrest Peter Thiel. You have to take the head of the snake to get rid of it.
They would have to bomb the hell out of us. It's installed in our country, in our govt. I can't worry about Israel. I'm worried about my life and our country.
I am not so worried about Israel either, but Palantir has ALL of our information that can be used in any way they wish. I was talking about the mainframe of Palantir, destroying the mainframe would wipe out their information base and it would take years for them to get it back together. It wouldn't destroy our country - only the building in Europe where the mainframe is stored.
Oh, is it stored in Europe? I think I missed that. I would think there would be many servers as back up and Oracle hosting them in the clouds (even more than AWS or Microsoft) IMHO I see Ellison involved with this too. I think a James Bond villain like Peter Thiel and his fascist Nazi partner in crime Elon Musk and his Starlink Satellites that he probably has his own little Nazi game controller to, would have thought of all that already. I don't think it's one mainframe in one location. The fear by many experts at the time with the Dogebags were that they were installing back door codes like viruses in many of our systems that can never be found.
Did you ever see the video of the two they questioned a few months ago asking how they decided what to delete looking for "waste, fraud and abuse" 😳 Dead eyes. Could barely speak a coherent sentence, they are just soulless coders who worked for Elon and were given their marching orders to use Chat GPT looking for code words for anything with "DEI" of things to destroy. It's why they removed the photo of the "Enola Gay" from the Air Force website. The bomber that dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima, because it had the word " gay" in it. The pilot Paul Tibbets named the plane after his mother. Her name was "Enola.Gay". Gay used to be a woman's name back then. It also used to be a word that meant " happy and cheerful" but none of these morons know history. They probably thought it was a flying gay bar. It was found to be deleted and restored.
They don't think. They don't care about humanity...they are like AI robots already. Somebody wrote once on a board "where are the good hackers? Don't we have them anymore"? No, the money they make is in destruction and we are the worst with cyber security. 4 times last year I got letters from major companies I never heard of that had security breaches. Timing could not have been more apparant. They were involved with my Health insurance, life insurance, Finance, etc. It is just unfathomable to me. The two worst immigrants and naturalized citizens we ever let into our country (three if you include Rupert Murdoch) that should have been the first ones deported...not these poor fruit pickers. It's why Trump got rid of Cnris Krebs a few years ago...a top cyber security expert who testified we had one of the safest voting systems when they were screaming about Dominion machines being controlled by Hugo Chavez (who was dead) and changing Trump votes to Biden. We have a brain drain. China, Russia, Eastern Europe, North Korea and Whether you hate them or not ISRAEL has brilliant techs too. They have far surpassed us. My eBay account in 2000 was hacked by Romania. 25 years ago! I worked on computers and mainframes in my youth. I used to be a techy and I have built my own PCs, but the technology is way more advanced now that I can't keep up with anymore. I'm lucky I can work my Iphone. No, with them, I don't believe It's a "one and done" deal that you can just bomb and get rid of. If I have 10 external drives backing up my info from my PCs over the years, what do you think they have?
BUT EVERY STUPID PERSON ON EARTH BELIEVES HE WON AN ELECTION!!! EVEN "THE NEWS"!!! THEY KEEP SAYING "in 3 years" like ANY of "us" will live that long!!! WAKE UP!!!
PLEASE, HE DID NOT WIN!!! EVEN IF YOU WON’T BELIEVE THAT TRUTH, believe he IS CRAZY!!! WE ARE ALL IN DANGER!!! Someone erased the red line!!!

Chris Krebs was talking about the 2020 election that Biden won. Are you talking about 2024? I'm sorry, I don't have time to read all the links. Definitely I believe 2024 was stolen by Elon and Thiel and their hackers. Kamala didn't win one swing state? Pls.
And you don't think I believe Trump.is cray cray? He's a deranged and demented moral degenerate. I'm afraid we won't even make the midterms. By 2028 the damage he can do, even if we do win the house and/or senate is incalculable. He will.still have veto power, pardon power, and his Christofascists. I'm not hopeful.about anything at all. I am just happy this news about Thiel and the tech bros and Planatir is out. I see by the comments how many people had no idea what was going on behind the scenes that I have known for ages. I wish I could find the posts I wrote from back then. . I already wrote and said in 2024 Trump was the useful idiot Trojan Horse they nedfed to get into power. None of them would have been elected dog catcher on their own.
You are right. They have to have backups. I just saw that giant Palantir building in Europe and assumed the mainframe was located there. The idea of destroying it was so exciting.
I was raised before computers, and taught myself as things progressed. Then they started progressing too fast and I couldn't keep up. Now, as you said, operating a cell phone sometimes can be too much. I remember mainframes taking up rooms, now they are in the clouds.
Perhaps it's just a wish that there is a way to destroy something so toxic. AI has it's place, but it doesn't need to hold all our information. What's the purpose of signing a HIPPA form if Palantir already has our medical history? Some things should remain private.
Perhaps Elon will take all his rich buddies to Mars!
May I call you Toni for ease? Hi. I didn't even know there was a Planitir building in Europe! I'm all for destroying it even if it only held copy machines. What a horrible, poisonous company. Must be headquartered in Europe to avoid taxes. I was reading this late last night and was up till 3 am. I'm going to have to reread it anyway, because it was BIG news today. There is so much news and I have so many sub I can't keep up. I made so many spelling mistakes and was hoping my comments wouldn't be incoherent.
There are still servers kept in cool temperature rooms, but I think the whole way they are stored and located are different now. I worked on mainframes in my youth, when we had to dial into a computer in Boston that held my companies info and programs and we had the programmers there that I loved working with. I'm very detail oriented so I really enjoyed working with programmers when I worked for a company that had an in-house IT dept with our own servers that had to be backed up every night, but I liked interfacing with the programmers because when there was an error I could just go to them, tell them the error I found and get it fixed....I could pick out a needle in a haystack. I just had to find the haystack! And when you are working with servers and you lose a backup, it can be devestating. It's my only reason why I know everything has to be backed up probably in several places including the clouds. My Iphone/Ipad photos and passwords are in the clouds. My Amazon Kindle fire tablet photos, bookmarks, passwords, wi-fi passwords, etc in the clouds. I've had to restore backups from them. So imagine my biggest concern is 5 years worth of bookmarks, photos, passwords, and my kindle library, while they are worried about the personal info and dirt they have on 330 million Americans. I hate how fast the tech is moving
2 things. . I got to my doctor at NYU Langone last year and as I'm checking in they ask me if I would like to sign in with my HANDPRINT t will be uploaded and stored there at Amazon I'm always nice to.the people at the desk..they are only doing their jobs, but I said "You want my handprint to sign in with Amazon? And I laughed and said to the woman " Are you on drugs? You can absolutely forget that I will ever give that to Amazon . NEVER! And she said not a problem. Se'll sign you in the other say. They are Never getting that!
The other thing is (and forgive me) but What I would Elon to do is take a Ketamine trip and never come back. Like OD, because that is the closest to space he is ever getting. He is a coward. He's never flown on his own Space X Dragon module and he never will. And he thinks he's taking 3 or 4 women from his compound and 14 children to Mars? He will never see it.
Yes, I completely understand. We all want this destroyed. We all want our privacy back. We all have been lied to. You don't know what I had to go through to get my Real Id last year.Practically everything but a DNA test. I won't even use feature to get into my phone with my finger print. Password only. What a day Toni. Very nice to meet you. I am utterly drained! Have a great night. Good talk!
Thank you Robin for this interesting and thought provoking talk. I joined Substack to get to know people I could exchange ideas with (it certainly didn't bring me the money I had hoped. LOL) I get to spout off about things I care about, and what I observe from years of experience. I don't have a great following - the former mainstream media kind of took Substack over before the election in 2024 and took away a chance to make some extra money. Anyway, I like taking to intelligent people, so it's a pleasure getting to talk to you. - Toni
Is ray-el will turn on us!! Lots of land for greater "is"!!! We never learn!! Lets make more agreements with the FAKE repubs!!! They are NOT human beings, they are creatures!!!
That’s a lot of empirical detail organized and presented concisely enough given its origins and threat severity. I’ll speak very simply in its face: Fuck Thiel, those complicit and their [powerful] software… They picked the wrong industrially, technologically and NEIGHBORLY developed society to try and get away with this shit. Weaponized money may have brought on this threat, but the POWER OF THE PEOPLE will repel their Artificially Inhuman fascism - ‘Artificially’ as these fascists are not human in as much as they are (organic) pathogens.
The problem is that people do not know what’s going on. They’re not on Substack. They are listening to CNN at best. People with whom I share value systems role their eyes. Not here. Not in America 😳
That is correct - however, they know that something fundamental is wrong and will only respond when their voice is invited. Here’s how we can spread the word so that their voice is (insisted upon) to be invited:
November Is Everything…if we make it! | Update/edit: It’s NOT Everything - Everything includes calling out the HARMS pointedly for what they are: e.g., The Maga Murder Bill instead of The Big Ugly Bill.
1) Encourage employers of all sizes to close on election day (with or without pay)
2) Encourage all people to identify & assist those vulnerable with Obtaining Required ID/Documentation
3) Encourage all to identify & assist those vulnerable with Access To Physical Polls - ready to pivot to last minute changing of poll locations without notice
4) Encourage all to identify & assist those vulnerable by Providing ‘Cover’ and Representation for them at The Polls
5) Encourage all - Starting NOW - Well Ahead Of The Midterms, that these measures May Be Necessary and To Anticipate the Subversion and likelihood of Federal Agents being Present at The Polls
6) Encourage all to phone camera image their Voting Machine Receipt Scroll Pages Where Possible - (How can this be PRE-organized to Prevail if needed against the claims of “Fraud?”)
7) PRE-address messaging to Gen Z on a mass scale to minimize turnout insufficiency / Stimulate Their Future politics and Power To Effect Change
Copy this to the main page!!! I have to go find the psychiatrists letters!!! No I;m NOT kidding!!!
NO!!! Forget 3 years, most of us will be dead or in "camps"!!! WE MUST FIND A LEADER WHO WILL TAKE BACK OUR DEMOCRACY NOW!!! Sorry, I realize you are a MAN, but honestly, MEN don't know EVERYTHING!!! WAKE UP!!!
PLEASE, HE DID NOT WIN!!! EVEN IF YOU WON’T BELIEVE THAT TRUTH, believe he IS INSANE!!! WE ARE ALL IN DANGER!!! Someone erased the red line!!!
Ok, this woman is calm! She speaks slowly!! But she is brilliant!! She has been warning us FOR YEARS!!! She wrote at least 2 books about runt!!! She warned congress members, BEFORE the election!!! They declined her help!!! Start believing the truth!!! Not the people who are lying if their mouths are open!!!! PLEASE, HE DID NOT WIN!!! EVEN IF YOU WON’T BELIEVE THAT TRUTH, believe he IS INSANE!!! WE ARE ALL IN DANGER!!! Someone erased the RED line!!!

Brilliant Phil. Thank you.
Agree. So many Americans (who bother to vote) don’t even do any research before voting. Too many are too careless, too busy, too uninformed, too partisan, believing Dems are the enemy within while the Republicans every day are complicit in blatant corruption, hatred, destruction, & war crimes because they let Trump & his hacks run wild. Rs could stop this but they don’t. How many Americans realize what all is going on in typical politics let alone the techno-fascists’ plans? This country is in deep 💩.
Look for something online or Youtube called the Nerd.Reich with Gil.Duran,.who ironically was just.bamned.from.Twitter over.this. It is frightening, and the AI.
Yes, you can pre-order Gil Duran’s book by the same name. Of course he was banned on Musk’s sludge platform. The preference there is neo-Nazis.
I have it pre-ordered!. Being banned from Twitter for calling Elon exactly what he is, is a badge of honor. I like Gil a lot.
I think they have been implanting their systems for years, little by little so it wasn’t obvious, until it is, seems they played and “HAD” the long game! As Robin said “They would have to bomb the hell out of us. It's installed in our country, in our govt” Again, glad I’m old, but my heart breaks, deeply breaks for those younger, god help them! How can this even be stopped, slowed or better yet destroyed?
It can’t be, but it can be contained and controlled.… Peacefully through elections with November being The Key, pivot point for the republic. | Update/edit: Important actions to control the tide against this fascism also absolutely includes calling out the HARMS pointedly for what they are: e.g., The Maga Murder Bill instead of The Big Ugly Bill.
So hoping you’re right! Concerned who’s going to step up, so far, not quite sure. Any thoughts?
NO!!! Forget 3 years, most of us will be dead or in "camps"!!! WE MUST FIND A LEADER WHO WILL TAKE BACK OUR DEMOCRACY NOW!!! Sorry, I realize you are a MAN, but honestly, MEN don't know EVERYTHING!!! WAKE UP!!!
PLEASE, HE DID NOT WIN!!! EVEN IF YOU WON’T BELIEVE THAT TRUTH, believe he IS INSANE!!! WE ARE ALL IN DANGER!!! Someone erased the red line!!!

My thoughts exactly.
The arrogance and corruption reek.
Fuck me! This is a lot. 🤮🤬How do we even begin to rip the head off the snake?!?! We need a Luigi Mangione up in here stat. Their entire infrastructure needs to be burned to the ground.
Thank you Dean for bringing this to light. I'm sharing now.
There is another writer who believes gm is the head of the snake!!! And runt is going to pardon her!!!! Search for me....AAA.... I will try and post it again!!!!
Lots of really smart writers on Substack!!! Not me, but I am good at re-posting!!!

Sigh, in the early Sixties my little brother read the Hobbit, and then started on the trilogy. We both had read the whole thing by the time I was 16 (1966). For Christmas one year, my mother gave each of us the boxed set of the trilogy. My brother went on to read all the associated books, but to me it was just a fairy tale. I see Thiel has bought into the whole thing. And he went to Stanford. Not for nothing do we Berkeley people call it the Stanford Crime Family but at least Thiel has moved to LA. However, it is my understanding that Yarvin lives in Berkeley, but I don't get out much. Being at Berkeley in the late Sixties, and of a nodding acquaintance with the FBI, I never got a cell phone. At least on my computer or on the phone, I'm always in the same place if someone is looking for me. I'm not sure how these people expect to survive the climate crisis, but it is my understanding that Thiel has built a bunker outside a village on the South Island of New Zealand, but the authorities would not allow him to build any more for friends. We all (?) know Zuckerberg is working on his Hawaiian island, and has quite the compound in Palo Alto (he's bought up a whole block now). Still I think survival depends more on basic skills, not computer stuff, which really, doesn't grow food or make clothes... When we get rid of t we should get rid of thiel and yarvin, and their friends. We need leaders like Carney and Zelenskyy, and people who don't measure up to them should not be leaders. Period.
Odd. The point of JRR Tolkien’s writing was against technology. Hence the entire battle of the good side, including the little guy, against the evil. The books are a blueprint not a fairytale. So unless you are only stating these evil people (Theil Yarvin and the rest) are trying to fill Sauron’s shoes, that much I see as true. Yet bottom line, it’s the nature loving multitudes of differing cultures joining together that beat the shit out of Sauron and all his supporters. Deans article definitely shows we’re in for it, but what if we are the good side and we can win?
Ellen, BRAVO!👏 💙🍀✌🏽
I've always thought Curtis Yarvin was this century's Rasputin. That boy is bat-shit crazy and his 'followers' like Thiel are too stupid to see how bat-shit crazy Yarvin is (I swear, I can't read anything he writes it is so poorly executed!). Llike Czar Nicholas and especially the Empress--they got sucked in by Rasputin and it resulted in their deaths. I kind of see the same potential outcome with Yarvin...
Always think the ‘long game’. Folks like Thiel and Yarvin have tunnel vision—they think the now is all there is. Hitler thought that too in 1942…by 1945–not so much (dead on April 9th). He went from the top of the hill to the bottom pretty fast.
Humans as Homo sapiens have been on this planet for 70,000 years and we still don’t have our shit together—perhaps we’ll need 70,000 more. Yes, Palantir is a huge problem right now—as is AI….but this too shall change. Change is the natural order of things and in the overall big picture—humans are always improving. Yes, we have times when things are really bad—but we always come back up. Hang in there.
FYI…I saw on the Parnas Perspective this morning—Aaron showed a clip of Tucker Carlson apologizing to his listeners for supporting Trump and encouraging them to do so. He said he was wrong and his conscience owes a debt. Who’d a thunk it….so, Yarvin, Thiel? Get in line folks….
Saw that too, hopeful, but as the Buddha said “We’ll See”
Bannon loves him and he was treated like a celebrity at the inauguration.
Well, these are not well-balanced human beings. They’ve latched on to a very narrow, fear and hate-filled vision of life. They bring chaos and disruptions….
The reason I call Yarvin the Rasputin of our day—he completely bamboozled the Russian royal family and they made decisions that ultimately enabled the Russian revolution and the ripple effect of that is still happening to this day. But it is not what he predicted at all.
Yarvin has already hinted that he’s got this wrong…and we shall see….
Hope so cause Thiel is full steam ahead. He came out on top. Yarvin never became as rich. There's a NYT article (sorry Paywall) from March about Thiel giving talks on the Anti-Christ on Rome near the Vatican..Or you can Google it. He's not Catholic, but brought up Christian Evangelical. I wonder if he has anything to do with what has been going on with the Pope. JD Vance is his disciple but converted to Catholicism, is writing a book about it and going on a book tour, and all of a sudden he's questioning the Pope's theology about war? I'm not Christian so I don't understand a lot of the differences, and they may have a hate-filled life, but Elon is going to have a trillion dollats and they are the 1% who own the world. One lunatic in charge of our Space Program and who has Starlink satellites that he can turn on and off at will and is buddies with Putin and Xi. They are billionaires who are pushing their right wing vision on Europe. The neoNazis in Germany. and are also raging anti-Semites. This is deeply entrenched in Silicon Valley now. Most people are worried about gas and food...they cannot comprehend what is coming with AI and all of this. Only good thing is it must have killed them when Orban was defeated. Good. One for the good guys. But the danger is PALANTIR (and the fact that Stephen Miller is invested too).and it is not going away. It's like living in a police state now.They combined 4 depts in this country that were separate for a reason. I have had 4 security breaches (not because of anything I did). I am on the datk web. Some Russian got my cellphone number that I never use where they sell the #s online. have everything frozen. I am getting more spam and robocalls then ever. I pay a company to monitor everything. It's because of this.
OMG!
No doubt!
The momentum inferred is this manifesto is frightening. Those of us who believe in Democracy have so much to do.
Peter Thiel is an ugly father fucker.
Yeah. I've been reading about Thiel et al for some time. Thiel is an Ozymandias-to-be. What's with all these would-be World Ruler types? Were their fathers aggressive towards them?
WIRED too has authored pieces critical of Thiel's expressed aims and Schmitt-inspired beliefs.
What I 'liked' best about your excellent article today was:
1) the enlightening info about IBM's role in the Nazi regime (utterly sick-making 'efficiency');
2) your very good references to the rapacious take-over, impoverishment and civilizational thefts carried out by the British owners and employees of the East India Company on the Indian sub-continent;
3) your reference to the Japanese forces' Rape of Nanking (Nanjing); and
4) the phrases about 'unneutering' Germany and Japan.
Apt historical references.
Damaged from childhood. Each and evdry one. Lonely abused. Lost in video games and science fiction. Sick.
I would've hit the like button faster, but the need to retch delayed me...
Ditto.
I've been reading bits and pieces on those folks for some time. Your capture of this empire building and the depth of which they have already infiltrated; it appears they are well on their way with execution. The fact that those you've listed have been common names for many years in business and/or governments; demonstrates the head start they have. Thank you for your detailed and insightful article - even though it's scary as heck. Educating people on this and on the challenges that lie ahead - this is foundational. Let's all find a way to educate those who can make a difference; and maintain some of democracies. Much appreciated Dean!
KO, SPOT ON💙🍀✌🏽
Stephen Cohen, Joe Lonsdale, P Theil and Alex Karp = Palantir. Don't leave out L Ellison's Oracle - Palantir and Oracle are hand in hand corrupt depravity.
Now it’s just getting worse, OMG!
Scary stuff....and our media just breezes by it.
And our mindless politicians? Where are they in any of this?
These are bold, smart, and delusional people. They cant be allowed to just take over.
Accent on "delusional".
