The only thing Palantir safeguards is the oligarchy.

Exactly. If shit really hits the fan I wonder how much of that is going to get diverted to the billionaires and they're bunkers.

They’re probably stealing it already. And we just sit and here and take it

Can we really call billionaires anything remotely close to "man" at this point? They act more like a virulent parasite if I'm being honest. No "normal" human would do what they do. I come back to the old meme: if a monkey hoarded bananas, he would be isolated and studied for being such a freak. Somehow we glorify the same mentality in humans.

Probably. Benefit of the doubt is that they just already have the theft ready to fire off before 99% of the population knows something is happening. Something that they already expect will happen.

SamTheLab_213 Apr 25, 2026 +17
No doubt they've been stacking the deck in their favor behind the scenes. We do nothing because we use social media and their filters forbid even using the world "R3volution." We need a street level resistance, we need to quit our media addiction and live in the real world. Time to stock up on supplies and knowledge. Maybe we should go back to traditional publishing and say f*** off to their heavily micromanaged system.

Water is next (and realistically already under attack). Once they have it, they can decide who lives and dies. Vote like your life depends on it because it does more than ever.

Lumbster Apr 25, 2026 +329
Its absolutely already happening. Corpus Cristi is out of water, and now they're drilling into their aquifers and draining them rapidly too. Most of the water being used is being used in industry, and the option to build a deslination plan is there, but they wont pay for it because its "too costly". People are needing to move out of homes that have been in their family for generations, because they cant afford to drill a new wells regularly and the cities dont care about them only industry The colorado river is pretty much gone at this point due to bad, very outdated policies regarding water use. Most of which is used/wasted on ag. Worst of all, most of that agriculture is entirely unnesessary and goes to growing animal feed for other countries. In my state the oil companies have decieded to start fracking 3000 ft from a reservoir. There has been huge pushback by the population for years about it, but the deciding vote was from someone who used to work in the oil and gas industry... Safer spots were proposed too(not that we wanted it at all), but those were "too far from the power grid and would be costly to get utilities out there". also its disturbingly close to a superfund site so even more toxic chemicals are likely to come through. All this in a record setting dry winter so all of the cities are preparing for a massive drought this summer. The water wars have already started and the people are already losing to businesses and greed.

etzarahh Apr 25, 2026 +207
I think one of the most glaring indicators of American decline is the impossible cost of infrastructure and social projects in this country. Projects that are possible in other countries, like high speed rail, desalinization plants, socialized medicine, and the like cost trillions of dollars and take decades for progress to occur, if they’re even attempted. It’s a textbook indicator of deep corruption.
207
lordraiden007 Apr 25, 2026 +72
Well a huge portion of the cost isn't corruption, it's just good ol fashioned capitalism (not saying some of it isn't corruption, just that a much larger portion is just capitalism). When you have a thousand middle men and each one expects a sizable profit the end result bears the cumulative costs of everyone's profit. Most countries tax profit enough that the companies are basically forced to spend on R&D, CapEx, and higher salaries unless they want to fork over a high portion of anything left after expenses to the government. That also has knock on effects in other tax areas as people have more to spend and more goods are purchased by companies in general (because they're not incentivized to just pass every unspent cent to the owners). The increased tax revenue then allows the government to invest more heavily in infrastructure development, and on and on the cycle goes. We also have such a messed up environmental regulation and zoning system that it's a legitimate pain to work through the red tape to even start development. You have to clear fed environmental standards, then deal with the state, then the county, then the city, then the nimby people who want to shut down construction on anything that isn't a luxury house or a park. It's fucked, but it's not all the fault of blatant corruption, more the result of decades of voter mismanagement and plain bad policy.
72
remielowik Apr 25, 2026 +16
I think what makes this worse is not all the middlemans but the fact that they all calculate what the maximum price could be to maximise their profit instead of taking their costs and put a profit percentage on top.

gooberdaisy Apr 25, 2026 +21
Great salt lake is almost all dried up as well. They want to spend a billion to do nothing about it. They also want to tap into the aquifer to “fill” up the lake. I’m tired boss.

steamygarbage Apr 25, 2026 +22
Don't forget data centers. There's one that's gonna be built in Central Kentucky near a historic area beloved by many. They're gonna drain our aquifers and drive electricity costs up when we're already paying so much. So many people are against it but the local government either won't listen or can't do anything about it.

After that begins the slave labor.

Prison labor is already slave labor. And that's less metaphor and more just the actual wording of the constitution
125
SamTheLab_213 Apr 25, 2026 +25
No, I mean real slave labor, no small stipend, no pretense. These people are sadistic assholes who are itching to bring back actual slavery. The soft core slavery happening with the prison system now will shift to hard core slavery. They're slow boiling the frog, as we sit in shock, watching our freedom die more and more each day. I'm not mashing up words, I'm warning people.

veringo Apr 25, 2026 +5
So did they. The only reason prisoners are paid is because prisons choose to, they are required by local law, or prisons feel pressure from the public to do so. The 13th amendment allows slavery as a punishment for crime, so other than local laws, they can treat prisoners like slaves whenever they choose to. We didn't have to wait for real slavery because it never left.

Vio_ Apr 25, 2026 +137
It's more insidious than that. They're going to have the same people pick the crops, but keep them imprisoned in the concentration camps and then "farm" them out to the different farms and ranches and meat packing plants and all the places they used to work - but now the government and Core Civic and Palantir will keep all the profits while denying wages, safety equipment, days off, protection, freedom, and every other crime and sin found in slave labor.

MrTriangular Apr 25, 2026 +25
I'll bet they'll also have meticulously planned out the destinations for the produce to maximize profit or political pressure. Supporter of "Dear Leader"? Your state/city/house gets the biggest and freshest items regularly but still at budget-stretching prices. Not a supporter? Oh, sorry, you just get a few shriveled reject veggies that are just about to turn, or the deliveries are inconsistent and often late and expensive. Basically a subscription service for food.

SamTheLab_213 Apr 25, 2026 +8

Vio_ Apr 25, 2026 +39
None of these people have committed a crime- they have been denied due process while being accused of such. Criminals have access to legal rights, legal protections, proper medical care, etc. The people in these camps will not be paid anything on any level and will probably be "charged" constantly for things like food, housing, clothing, "medical care," etc. Ever being charged more and more for less and less. Also there are children and babies mixed in with this group as well.

SamTheLab_213 Apr 25, 2026 +9
I guess you're saying like the old company towns during the era of the Robber Barons. It might really happen, the tech bros are planning to create company towns or "smart cities" for their employees. Elon Musk is planning to build his "utopias" for his employees. Somehow I don't think these will be utopias.
9
Vio_ Apr 25, 2026 +11
These are closer to Gulags. The Tech Bros are already building their "Charter City" ("Zones for Employment and Economic Development") techno utopias like Prospera in Hondoras, Ithana in Nigeria, and Bitcoin City in El Salvador (yes, the actual proposed name). Spoiler alert - they're already starting to collapse.
11
Born-Courage4198 Apr 25, 2026 +4
Can you expand on this topic and how they are collapsing? I’m not finding any articles. I’m generally interested. None of these people are as smart or as capable of running these things as they think they are. I also don’t think this concentration camp idea is going to work out the way Stephen miller thinks it will.

Ya its f****** horrible. Im a stone Mason and i work alongside many awesome legal immigrants who are terrified all day. All I can do is vote and shame those who voted for this savagery. Which I do. What else is there to say other than false prophet lovers want to cause pain. What a world to be in. If there was a good god whatever the existence, it wouldn't allow this time.

It’s not about safeguarding food — it’s about safeguarding food *supply* … Which is in trouble in the U.S. for many reasons relating to shitty leadership. Not sure how Palantir software is supposed to help when Trump’s policy certainly isn’t. While ICE has been running around the country rounding up all those dangerous poor people who work farms, China and the Middle East have been buying up U.S. farmland, ag/livestock/dairy, and commercial entities. Then Trump starts a bunch of inane conflicts that further hurt supply chain and skyrocket prices…

The article talks about China not buying soybeans and China buying US farmland as threats to the food supply. What does ANY software have to do with either of those 2 issues?
388
Initial-Progress-763 Apr 25, 2026 +90
My guess? This ties into ridding the US of foreign-born and naturalized citizens, etc. (read: getting rid of anyone non-white) by depriving them of the ability to purchase land and homes. Also ties into the new push to require citizenship docs to hold a bank account. The eye of Sauron watches all (and checks the database against all the data DOGE ransacked from the SSA, IRS, DVA...).

cyberpunk6066 Apr 25, 2026 +31

I've never understood why people would even be worried about Chinese buying up farm land, as if we got into a war with them, and they owned all the farmland, we would be like "well shit guys, we have no food, China owns all our farmland...they have the deed, what can we do?"

"AcreTrader is just one of many companies launched in the past decade that facilitate the sale of farmland...Recently, it was revealed that this includes the investment portfolio of vice presidential nominee JD Vance, the Republican senator from Ohio.   Vance invested up to $65,000 in private investments in AcreTrader during his stint as a venture capitalist, according to his 2022 financial disclosure to the Senate ethics committee. The investment firm Narya Capital—which Vance launched in 2020 with backing from PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel—was a vehicle for these investments, and a key backer in early funding rounds of the farmland startup. And while Vance is no longer listed as a partner at Narya Capital, according to his 2023 financial disclosure, he appears to still be an investor in the firm—or more technically, multiple legal entities with names including Narya. “There’s no indication that Vance has divested from AcreTrader, and there’s every indication that that investment remains in place,” said Lisa Graves, the executive director of True North Research, an investigative research group. She points to how Vance sold off his stock in “Narya Capital Management LLC” in 2023, but that’s not the same as the (albeit similarly named) investment vehicles used to invest in AcreTrader." https://www.farmlandgrab.org/post/32430-jd-vance-funded-acretrader-here-s-why-that-matters

Rich people know more about the reality of climate change than we do. I’ve been thinking this for a while. If they have better information and accurate timelines, it would explain the power grab shit that’s been happening over the last 10 years or longer. When shit starts getting really bad the class difference is gonna be really f****** clear, and setting up your own little f****** kingdoms feels way less far fetched when you think about the actual, real, long term impact of climate change. I mean, who knows. But the way they have been pushing shit *so* hard recently really makes me wonder.
23
LurksAroundHere Apr 25, 2026 +13
Exactly. It also explains "old rich vs young rich". Old rich who had this information knew they could just ignore and lie about it and let it get worse because they wouldn't live long enough to see the effects. Young rich is making all these power grabs because unlike old rich, they *will* live through it, and are making sure to snatch and control what they can before shit hits the fan.  Either way, the rich *always* fucks us over.

Found out this evening from someone close to me that a major children’s hospital has hired Palantir to do data entry for their medical files. Basically, The AI will transfer data from medical files to databases. F****** love knowing that children’s medical files are being harvested by Palantir. We need to get their tendrils out of everything and shut them the f*** down.

Someone close to me is on public assistance. The amount of validation and paperwork required to ensure that she is not abusing the system is substantial. I don’t see why we are so concerned about an old lady getting a food stamp she doesn’t deserve but we have no problem handing of 300 million to a secretive company with little to no real oversight. As a reminder, during the Iraq war, KBR faced years of lawsuits and audits over alleged overcharging, overstaffing, and fraud, eventually agreeing to settlements and fines, including a $108.75 million settlement in 2023 and a $402 million criminal fine for foreign bribery. Just saying

Because our population has been taught that if you don't work every waking hour of the day then you didn't earn the right to eat. Saw someone on here talking about how they realized that they felt bad for sitting down and eating food without there phone because their work might need them and call/text. People will cover the work of others and double their workload for nothing but the expectation that they will do more work if you give it to them. People need to realize it isn't right. We aren't meant to work ourselves to death for the profit of a few. So that those few can live long happy lives doing as they please while we die early, in pain and with nothing to pass on to our children.

Theyve already built out their mass surveillance program for the WH in one of the contracts worth around $1 BILLION+ combined and once they have their complete police state, rebellion will start so they need to control the food. Of course with them using 25 BILLION gallons of water a day for the 5,000+ US data centers, fresh water will be the real get.

Palantir should be nationalized. Karp and Thiel are a threat to national security.

Nothing says “safe food” like handing a surveillance company a giant contract. At minimum, USDA should be forced to publicly disclose every dataset Palantir touches and allow independent security audits.

Kozmic_River Apr 25, 2026 +8
“Safeguard” isn’t the right word. They’re securing it for the imminent collapse elitists are intentionally causing. Billionaires have been building bunkers and discussing how to completely control our food supply for years now.

>”U.S. farmers are grappling with rising supply costs and are getting squeezed by an ongoing trade war between the U.S. and its major trading partners. That includes China, a key soybean purchaser, which temporarily crippled the market late last year.” So this deal was partially facilitated by Trump’s stupid f****** fiscal policy and the war in Iran that he started… and Palantir is winning on both ends. F*** these people, man

notreallhereactually Apr 25, 2026 +6
What’s actually worth being pissed about is that this was no-bid. USDA justified skipping competition by saying Palantir is already so embedded in their existing infrastructure that nobody else could meet the timeline. Which is true, but that’s exactly how you end up in a situation where the embedded vendor is unchallengeable for every subsequent contract layer. The lock-in was the product all along. This is Palantir’s pattern of business. Embed, extract, and co-opt.  And then you have a unified database of every American farmer’s land, production, finances, and subsidy history sitting in a Palantir instance, which is the same company running infrastructure for ICE and DHS. Whether that data stays siloed to agricultural administration is a real question, not a conspiratorial one. That’s just how their government stack is architected. So “Palantir bad” isn’t wrong, it’s just lazy. The structure of the thing is the problem.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

From what? Holy f***, AI data centers are projected to use more water per year than flows through the Mississippi by 2028, what does that do to food security? What do farms do for water once it's gone from the aquifer? If you have ever doubted that these f****** psychos aren't actually working for the greater good, with AI, surveillance, or basically any tech these guys are pushing - any truly just system, controlled by AI, would probably throw Peter Thiel in a blender off the jump. Step one. Article A.
