1/. “Not so long ago, Britain was the envy of the world

It had the world’s best healthcare system...the world’s finest public broadcaster...growing wealth & happiness...& was part of the world’s most successful political union

Now it is a failing state.”

2/. Britain became afflicted by a fever dream of nationalism: the biggest lie of all

Nationalism says: “we’re better off on our own. We’re better than them. We should be competitors with everyone. Our only motivations are greed & self-interest”

But none of that is true

3/. British people might not know it, but they’re going to be getting American-style healthcare bills soon

GP practices have been sold off to an US “health insurer” who aren’t in it for human kindness, but for money

We will be billed - $4,000 for a X-ray

4/. “A new wave of demagogues peddled insane lies. Britain - the gentle, wise, intelligent, expansive one - was put to the torch

The nationalism - its ugliness, hate, racism, selfishness, greed, toxicity - that wrecked Britain is here to stay

Its people haven’t learned a thing”

5/. Pure stupidity OR part of a bigger strategy?

In 2015, Steve Bannon got #CambridgeAnalytica to build a psychological warfare tool that used big data & social media to drive open cracks in societies & hollow out democracies

They were helped by Palantir

6/. Set-up originally with CIA funding, #Palantir - founded by #PeterThiel, a right-wing billionaire with big ideas & reported associations with the far-right - has been working with govt intelligence services for decades

Was Palantir involved in the Brexit & Trump victories?

7/. One of Thiel’s passions is genomics & Palantir run the #COVID data stores for the NHS & HHS

This diagram shows how the US & UK govts appear to have a joint/parallel #COVID19 strategy, giving military-backed data-mining company, #Palantir, access to heath data on a mass scale

8/. It’s been reported that #Palantir taught #CambridgeAnalytica about data scraping

Whilst there’s no proof of their involvement in the #Trump victory, 3 senior Palantir executives were among Trump’s earliest appointments, joining his admin in senior intel positions in Feb 2017

9/. We know that Big Tech mine & sell our data, but the new frontier lies not in our consumer behaviour, but in our biological selves.

#PeterThiel has been described as one of the most prominent “‘visionary philanthropists’ dreaming of a positive eugenics for the 21st century.”

10/. “Don’t ask for permission. Ask for forgiveness”

#PeterThiel's interest in genomics led him to back DNA-testing/editing & genetic engineering startups as well as life science companies incldg Halcyon Molecular, Pathway Genomics, Juvenesence & Imatato.

11/. Sixteen months after I first set out the #PalantirPlan & 8 months after I broke the #DatafGrab story👇, the story is of how NHS Digital are "refusing to rule out #Palantir being involved in the datastore from the GP data grab" came out

My fear is that we're already too late

This quote is from @umairh’s article: "GP practices in London have been sold off to an American 'health insurer...Brits aren’t going to know what hit them when they get a bill for, say, $4000 for an X-ray. But that’s what’s coming"

Not to mention #Palantir #FacultyAI & #GenomeUK
