Trump Hands Palantir the Keys to Americaâs DataForget spreadsheets. This is real-time, AI-assisted behavioral mapping â built to detect fraud, flag ârisk,â and surface threats before they emerge. On paper, itâs national security. In practice, it could be the most expansive data surveillance tool in U.S. civilian history.
Palantirâs Gotham software isnât just tracking inputs. It draws conclusions. It profiles. It decides whatâand whoâneeds a closer look. With this deal, the company moves from defense contractor to domestic oracle, potentially shaping how agencies screen citizens, distribute benefits, or deny access.
The Trump administration has tapped Palantir (PLTR) to do what it does best: gather, organize, and weaponize data. The firm is now tasked with building a sweeping federal platform that will knit together government records from across Social Security, the IRS, immigration, and more â effectively creating a centralized intelligence layer on millions of Americans.

This isnât about national security. Itâs about control.
According to news reports, the Trump administration is quietly collaborating with Palantir Technologiesâthe data-mining behemoth co-founded by billionaire Peter Thielâto construct a centralized, government-wide surveillance system that would consolidate biometric, behavioral, and geolocation data into a single, weaponized database of Americansâ private information.
This isnât about protecting freedom. Itâs about rendering freedom obsolete.
What weâre witnessing is the transformation of America into a digital prisonâone where the inmates are told weâre free while every move, every word, every thought is monitored, recorded, and used to assign a âthreat scoreâ that determines our place in the new hierarchy of obedience.

"They are tracking everybody that criticized Israel, everybody that interacts with somebody that's criticizing Israel, and whether you're on a visa or not, whether you're a citizen or not, whether you're brown or not, Christian or Muslim, they're putting you in the Palantir database. They're putting you on the enemies list. If you don't see a problem with that..."
