And now for the scary bit:

Palantir Technologies: The Future of USAID?
Earlier today, we made the claim that, "in coordination with Musk's X, which will collect unprecedented amounts of data, Peter Thiel's Palantir will run the data analytics and use it to come up with methods of statecraft and foreign policy previously unthinkable by intelligence organizations. Palantir has been making partnerships with foreign governments for years in preparation for this."
This raises two questions:
1. How has Palantir prepared itself to be able to exert influence over foreign governments (what industries have they infiltrated)?
2. How many partnerships with foreign governments has Palantir made so far?
Let's answer both:
Palantir has extensive partnerships with governments throughout Europe, and has been given contracts to work with European governments in the following capacities:
Providing data analytics, intelligence, and logistics for European law enforcement, counterterrorism task forces, defense departments, and armed forces (including mission planning). They notably have collaborated with NATO and the EU to support Ukraine in their war effort.
Additionally, through their data analytics and logistical support as well as in other capacities, they have been contracted by European governments to assist with supply chain management, financial services, tax auditing, transportation and infrastructure projects, healthcare services (especially during the COVID-19 pandemic), immigration and asylum operations, and building government web servers (through Palantir Government Web Services).
Since doing data analytics for all these industries throughout Europe and the world, Palantir has become one of the most significant intelligence forces in the world.
We were able to find that the following European countries have awarded contracts to Palantir since at least 2015 when France awarded Palantir a contract to assist with counterterrorism efforts (there are likely many more, but we were only able to find information about the following):
Italy, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, France, Norway, Netherlands, Switzerland, and Denmark, and the UK.
In Asia, including the Middle East, Palantir has worked with governments in all the aforementioned ways as European governments, as well as for disaster-relief logistics in Japan and, notably, intelligence and data analytics for the Israeli Defense Forces in Gaza while they were carrying out their genocide. We were able to find that the following Asian countries have awarded contracts to Palantir.
The UAE, Qatar, Israel, Singapore, South Korea, Japan, and India.
Some more notable countries Palantir has contracted with:
The Australian Department of Defense partnered with Palantir in August 2024. Palantir was given a contract with Canada’s Department of National Defense in 2019. Palantir has contracts in New Zealand, Mexico, and South Africa.
For America, the issue with giving all this influence over the world to the CIA-backed Palantir is that it is not a one-way street. It is a channel through which foreign governments can also exert influence over the United States. When Palantir has all this influence over the world, the US government becomes dependent on it, a private company, to wield that influence. And because Palantir is reliant on contracts from foreign governments for its revenue, it can easily be influenced by foreign governments.
JD Vance, who is Peter Thiel's protege and who Thiel heavily pushed for the VP position, is the Trojan Horse through which Palantir and the Thiel network have started to merge with the- federal government to become the New Deep State, with a future Vance presidency to complete this amalgamation as the ultimate goal.

Seems unlikely. I'll believe it when I see that cabal in action. It seems like a palliative prop.
US AID is being dismantled as we speak. Trump and his coterie seem to have the answer to who will step in to the shoes of the Deep State (read bureaucrats). The other dichotomy is that Palantir was backed by CIA in those days of Genocide Joe. Aside, J D Vance for continuity after Trump? .. etc
Governments run by corporations .. hmm .. are there any parallels history? .. scratches his head .. Italy in 1930 odd per chance?
"...It is a channel through which foreign governments can also exert influence over the United States.
Seems unlikely. "
Yea...eyes went cat at that one. Exerting influence would require a ban on US corporate/state data collection...not worthless caveats written into its surrender.

Excellent point. I retract my Seems unlikely. Perhaps a side point being that we would need to rely on the benevolence of hegemon to consider the feedback from their previous and 'current vassals'. Fat chance.
Your point stands out .. let's stop the collection of data of that 1930's replica of oligarch/corporate power now in charge of the US of A. Keep your eyes on the UK's NHS hehe.
