Using #Palantir, THE FBI CAN INSTANTLY COMPILE THOROUGH DOSSIERS ON U.S. CITIZENS, tying together:
• surveillance video
• credit-card transactions
• cell-phone records
• emails
• airplane travel records
• Web search information
#Palantir's senior legal adviser, Bryan Cunningham, authored an amicus brief (years ago) supporting the Bush
Admin’s position in the infamous #warrantless #wiretapping case and defended its monitoring domestic communications without search warrants.

“The criminals hide their trails by anonymizing their computing activity and disabling alert systems.” When they get tracked on a few compromised accounts #Palantir is used to uncover the network of thousands of other accounts that have to be tapped. wikileaks.org/gifiles/docs/2…
A #Palantir engineer, exposed by “Anonymous” was caught participating in a plot to break into the PCs of @wikileaks supporters and was quietly rehired by them after being placed on leave.

No difference between Twitter and Facebook - #Palantir used both and #Zuckerberg / #Dorsey knew.
Thiel, Lonsdale, and a couple of others incorporated #Palantir in 2004. #Thiel originally wanted to hire a CEO from D.C. but his co-founders “resisted” and asked Alex #Karp, “an American money manager living in Europe” who raised money for Clarium, to join as temporary CEO.

This was done to Trump.

For years, Facebook users were convinced that the company was listening to their conversations, and for years, Facebook dismissed the claims as a ”conspiracy theory.”
Yesterday, Facebook admitted it has, in fact, been listening to users' conversations. apple.news/A6o38fFY-RimHI…
What was Facebook’s excuse for listening to users' audio? Everyone else was doing it.
A Facebook spox said the practice was “very common in tech” — reports revealed Amazon, Apple, Google, and Microsoft were all capturing/listening to audio from users. apple.news/AYDm8-DylS4msN…
Belgian broadcaster VRT obtained more than 1,000 audio recordings captured by Google, and the company admitted that the recordings underwent human review. apple.news/AL7JtibEQOA6yO…
Last month, the Guardian revealed that Apple captured what its users were telling Siri, and reviewed those recordings to grade Siri’s responses. apple.news/AU886VXrIOz-c_…
Last week, an investigation by Motherboard revealed that Microsoft was using human contractors to carry out quality assurance on recordings for the company’s Cortana voice assistant. apple.news/AOJ9UOyCXQYmQH…
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was asked by Congress last year about Facebook purportedly listening to people’s conversations without permission. 🤥
The New York Times contends that it was able to successfully track President Donald Trump using leaked data from the phone of a Secret Service agent assigned to protect him.
According to the NYT, it took mere minutes to zero in on a Secret Service phone, showing its movement with the president from his home in Mar-a-Lago, to one of Trump’s golf courses, another Trump property, and back.
The phone data allowed the paper to identify the Secret Service employee's own home, which made it easy to figure out the employee’s name, the name of their spouse, and other private details. The NYT is SICK.
The NYT threatened that the tracking technique was easy to apply to other officials at the White House and in Congress, the Pentagon, the FBI and the Supreme Court,
with them being able to pick up and track smartphones “in nearly every major government building and facility in Washington,” following the phones back to their homes to reveal their owners’ identities.
The author of a major review into cyber security says recommendations he made back in February would have helped tackle the major Crowdstrike IT outage crisis today.
Despite the McPartland Review being published in February, the recommendations ended up sitting on a shelf because Mr Sunak called the general election in May.
The plan to tackle today’s Crowdstrike problem was put on a shelf somewhere back in February, because there was an election.
Today, there are several reports circulating that Maricopa County Elections also “experienced an outage at some voting locations.”
Many X users are lashing out saying “today isn’t Election Day” - to me, it doesn’t matter what day is Election Day. Crowdstrike needs to be taken out of our election systems so people can feel more comfortable casting their vote, making sure it counts and cannot be manipulated.
The gunman who tried to assassinate Donald Trump was spotted on the roof nearly 30 minutes before the shooting, according to reports by WPXI-TV.

Beaver County’s ESU team had eight members at the rally, including snipers and spotters. According to multiple law enforcement sources, one of them noticed a suspicious man on a roof near the rally at 5:45 p.m., called it in and took a picture of the person.
That person was Thomas Crooks.
26 minutes after a second picture of Crooks was taken by law enforcement and the information was called in, shots were fired from the roof of the American Glass Research building.
🇺🇦 Zelensky and his gang have legalized the purchase of agricultural land in Ukraine by foreign entities
At the moment, three companies have already bought 17 million hectares of agricultural land. This is slightly less than half of all agricultural land - 42.7 million hectares - Mriya
Another such purchase - and there is no Ukrainian country. No land for the people.
Based on the information provided, three large American multinationals have been reported to have purchased significant amounts of agricultural land in Ukraine. These companies are:
1. Cargill 2. DuPont 3. Monsanto (which is officially German-Australian but with American capital)
These companies are said to have collectively bought 17 million hectares of agricultural land in Ukraine.
There are several US politicians who have received campaign contributions from Cargill or have been associated with the company.
Here are some key points:
1. **Senator Tina Smith (D-Minn.)**: She is one of the top federal recipients of campaign cash from Cargill’s political action committee or company employees.
2. **Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.)**: Although not directly mentioned as a recipient of contributions from Cargill, she has been criticized for her stance on monopolies while being supported by Cargill, which has a near total monopoly on the global agricultural system.
3. **Various members of Congress**: The party split of federal recipients of campaign cash from Cargill shows that both Democrats and Republicans have received contributions from the company.
4. **Former Iowa Governor Terry Branstad**: Although not a federal politician, he is mentioned in connection with the Farm Credit Scandal and has been involved with Summit Carbon Solutions, which has ties to Cargill.
These are the key points related to US politicians being involved with Cargill.
“I’m looking forward to hearing from President Biden,” Hakeem Jeffries told AP’s Farnoush Amiri this morning. “And until he articulates a way forward in terms of his vision for America at this moment, I’m going to reserve comment about anything relative to where we are at this moment, other than to say I stand behind the ticket. I stand behind the Senate Democratic majority. And of course, we’re going to do everything that we need to do as House Democrats to win.”
Reporters for CBS asked Pelosi, “What do you say to Democrats who feel that there should be another nominee after the president’s debate performance last night?” Pelosi evaded the question entirely, saying “I’ll make a statement about this, but not right now.”
BREAKING: WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has agreed to plead guilty to a felony charge related to his alleged role in one of the largest US government breaches of classified material, as part of a deal with the Justice Department that will allow him to avoid imprisonment in the United States, according to newly filed federal court documents.
MORE: Under the terms of the new agreement, Justice Department prosecutors will seek a 62-month sentence – which is equal to the amount of time Assange has served in a high-security prison in London while he fought extradition to the US.
The plea deal would credit that time as served, allowing Assange to immediately return to Australia, his native country.
I’m very happy for Julian and his family. Cried, even.
However, the Justice Department did this for the wrong reasons. And everybody knows it.
