Generated Summary:
Main Topic: The video discusses Palantir Technologies and its increasing role in centralizing and managing US government data, raising concerns about privacy and potential abuse of power.
Key Points:
- An executive order in 2025 aimed to eliminate information silos within the government, centralizing data access.
- Palantir is heavily involved in building databases for government agencies, including immigration enforcement (Doge project), the IRS, CDC and Homeland Security.
- The speaker draws parallels to the Patriot Act and post-9/11 surveillance expansions, arguing that justifications for data collection often lead to broader applications beyond the initial stated purpose.
- Concerns are raised about the lack of oversight and potential for misuse of centralized data by Palantir, a private company.
- The video highlights the historical context of Palantir’s founding, linking it to the “Total Information Awareness” initiative and figures like John Poindexter.
- The speaker emphasizes the irony of a private company now holding the kind of data that caused public outcry when the NSA was revealed to be collecting it.
Highlights:
- The Trump administration’s motto: “Everyone is converting to Palantir.”
- Palantir’s involvement in managing sensitive data across multiple federal agencies, including health and financial information.
- The connection between Palantir’s founders and the “Total Information Awareness” program.
- The comparison of Palantir’s current role to the NSA’s controversial data collection practices revealed by Edward Snowden.
- The video ends with a call for more attention to Palantir’s activities and its potential impact on civil liberties.

Never thought I’d see conservative pundit videos posted on Lemmy with 60 upvotes but here we are.
Political tribalism works.
We must stop falling for the divide and conquer strategies of the duopoly (lackeys of the oligarchs).
“I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.” – Frederick Douglass
Instead of fighting over political leanings, try to hear what their arguments are and see where you agree.
This will help us be willing to discuss and unify all working-class people on what views we share instead of just focusing on what we don’t agree on.
I thought Glenn worked for Theil, is this video one of his slimy tricks? He said only elites fear Trump. That Bannon was a socialist. Even pretended to care about Palestinians, who are now being erased from existence. I wont watch the video. I have heard all I need to from that man.

Those just seem like smears from the duopoly (oligarch lackeys) loving apologetics (celebrity worshipper).

The whole post and reason for it is about the video…
Weird people on forums hahaha.
I guess your reason for commenting on the post about a Glenn video is just to show how much you disagree with the way he thinks instead of your way of thinking.
All is well, thanks for commenting your disdain, peace.
Edit:
- Words, apoliticals to apologetics (celebrity worshipper)
It’s nothing personal against you, I just feel the need to comment whenever I hear his name because I feel played, because I used to follow his writing. I think he is a genuinely nasty piece of work and a henchman for oligarchs. Peace.
Thanks for the chat and th information you provided!
👍
If only people weren’t so dismissive of Snowden when he exposed Palantir and the NSA
Snowden exposed Palantir?
You Americans really need some heroes. Snowden might have done some good, but as soon as things got hot he folded like a cheap lawn chair and openly supported russian genocidal imperialism.
I hope Snowden and his family (his wife and kid) meet the same fate as they wish for Ukrainians in internment camps in the occupied territories.
Ukraine, like many other countries, is being used as a pawn for the Western regime’s agenda.
It seems like Western pro-war people are okay with continuing this war until the last Ukrainian is kidnapped and sent to the front lines so that the oligarchs can gain more natural resources and military contracts.
Propaganda really works on most Western people; Russiagate and Russiophobia are still seen as serious issues…
Even after we learned (Snowden leaks) that our governments lie to us so they can maximize their for-profit forever wars in the Middle East, now they are attempting to antagonize Iran and China.
jimmy dore lmao. imagine getting your politics from a shitty youtube “comedian”.
I see him as a comedian with populist opinions and rants.
Feel free to post critical videos on the JD community; all are welcome.
Don’t forget to have higher standards for politicians than for comedians.
The politicians (lackeys of oligarchs) are the ones with real power and influence to change our society for better or mostly for the worst.
All is well, peace.
