Trump Hands Palantir the Keys to Americaās DataForget spreadsheets. This is real-time, AI-assisted behavioral mapping ā built to detect fraud, flag ārisk,ā and surface threats before they emerge. On paper, itās national security. In practice, it could be the most expansive data surveillance tool in U.S. civilian history.
Palantirās Gotham software isnāt just tracking inputs. It draws conclusions. It profiles. It decides whatāand whoāneeds 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 ā effectively creating a centralized intelligence layer on millions of Americans.

This isnāt about protecting freedom. Itās about rendering freedom obsolete.
What weāre witnessing is the transformation of America into a digital prisonāone where the inmates are told weāre free while every move, every word, every thought is monitored, recorded, and used to assign a āthreat scoreā 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.
