🔍 Palantir: The CIA’s privatized 'pre-crime' surveillance machine
Palantir isn’t just a tech firm — it’s the rebranded, privatized version of the Pentagon’s post-9/11 “Total Information Awareness” program, created when public outcry threatened to defund the state surveillance project.
Key revelations by Whitney Web:
🔴 Founded with TIA director John Poindexter as its "godfather"
🔴 For 5–6 years, its only client was the CIA via In-Q-Tel
🔴 Engineers regularly worked inside CIA HQ tailoring the system
🔴 Labels individuals "subversive," harvesting everything about them
🔴 Used in predictive policing and immigration enforcement
🔴 Peter Thiel and Epstein backed a related pre-crime firm, Carbyne, with Ehud Barak
A privatized surveillance architecture — built to track, predict, and control — now operates far from public oversight.
