Palantir and Cambridge Analytica


Why anyone would believe anything said by the people associated with Palantir is beyond me. This nefarious company (headed by billionaire apostate turned sodomite Peter Thiel) is essentially on record as having no regard for the law, Constitutional, Parliamentary, Common or otherwise. A roguish organisation connected to the Deep State, Palantir represents a means of manipulation and control through intelligence gathering and algorithmic prediction.


It will never put its cards on the table. How can it? It exists to undermine, obscure, subvert and circumvent not only democracy but the law itself. It is a tool of the coming totalitarianism. It is exactly the sort of organisation that would be used to manipulate elections and overcome legal barriers and requirements of transparency.
That said, the Cambridge Analytica 'scandal' is something of a farce. The major political parties and numerous corporations have been engaged in the same kind of data capturing that Analytica is being accused of. At one point in time such 'profiling' and data mining was praised as savvy and an intelligent use of technology. Whether one allowed the DNC or some other company access to your Facebook account and your friend's list was (and still is) all but accepted.
Personally I've never accepted it and thus I have never felt compelled or even remotely tempted to post pictures and other personal data on a social media website. Not only are you revealing these things to the public... whether or not your page is 'friends only'... but you are certainly allowing Facebook and many others to capture your data. What data are they grabbing and what are they doing with it? No one knows for sure. But everything you're doing is being tracked and your face and all your information are being collated, mined and cross-referenced with everyone you know or might know.
This latest scandal isn't new but instead is a case of media spin, a part of the Anti-Russia/Anti-Trump campaign... the ever expanding Neo-McCarthyism that is sweeping across society and the political spectrum. The media wishes at every point to paint the Trump election as illegitimate, corrupt and conspiratorial.  
There's plenty of corruption and conspiracy when it comes to Trump but it's being given little attention. The current campaign seeks to exploit the present situation from multiple angles. They don't want to just take Trump down, but they want to do so even while pushing society in a new direction. This campaign supports a significant shift in foreign policy and is engaged in massive censorship campaign and an attempt to re-cast the nature of the Internet and society at large. This is the scandal of which Palantir is a part and the media refuses to acknowledge.
Of course if we want to talk about corruption and conspiracy, there's plenty to go around. From the DNC and the Clintons, to Congress, to corporations like Palantir and of course the CIA, NSA and the GCHQ, there are mountains of lies, plots and deceptions that have yet to be mined by the Corporate Media. But since these 'news' and entertainment organisations are corrupted and intimately wed to the Establishment, one cannot expect these agents of the City of London and Wall Street to saw at the branch upon which they are seated.
