2/. It also isn’t remotely credible (or intelligible) that #Cummings had no knowledge of what #Palantir are doing in the NHS “other than on ICU bed capacity”
It also isn’t credible when he claims he thinks #FacultyAI “do not have personalised data at all”
5/. Palantir CEO, Peter Thiel, backed Trump in 2016, & #Palantir employees rptdly worked with #CambridgeAnalytica, harvesting Facebook data ahead of the elections
Are their finger prints also all over the #Brexit referendum?
Are these things connected?
6/. “Ask forgiveness, not permission”
That’s the philosophy of these ‘visionaries’ & ‘“super forecasters”
They believe that our fates lie in our genes, not in the stars
Is this an attempt to control that fate?
To break free of regulations, ethics committees & the rule of law?

That time is now👇
8/. On 29/6/20, Blair’s ex-Chief of staff – someone who knows about political skulduggery – wrote on Cummings:
“This looks like the beginning of a rolling coup. It starts with the civil service then moves on to the judiciary & the media”
“We could close our eyes & pretend that contrary to all the evidence, #Palantir is a rights-respecting company or we can call this façade what it is: another company placing profit over people, no matter the human cost.” Michael Kleinman, @amnestyusa
The #NHSDataGrab has been underway since Oct 2020 (see Tweet👇)
Why was it ignored for the last 8 months?
News editors, journalists & politicians appeared to be unwilling to report it
It’s great that the #PalantirPlan is now getting wide coverage, but are we already too late?
Yet #Palantir - who rptdly taught Cambridge Analytica how to scrape data - run the NHS #COVID data store along with #FacultyAI, a company that worked for LeaveEU/Cummings & also has links to CA
