What’s happening in America is technofascism. It could happen here

@ChrisMayLA6 Good. Palantir is a corrupting and malignant influence, and Peter Thiel never, never passes up a chance to throw in with Fascists.

Delicious. Every single bit of staff that I’ve seen associated with that company is certifiable or really suggests they might be.

More Perfect Union interviewed an employee that quit and what he had to say about working there wasn’t settling. I think one of the reasons why he left.

I certainly hope people are finally over and done with the epstein class, especially when they froth at the mouth around surveillance and killing people

@ChrisMayLA6 The irony of Palantir a company built on 'intelligence' accidentally boosting the exact story they wanted to bury is just perfect. It’s a classic Streisand effect. Honestly, it’s refreshing to see Swiss authorities actually drawing a line at data sovereignty. If they’re worried about US government access, it makes you wonder just how deep those hooks really go. Thanks for sharing this, definitely a 'grab the popcorn' moment for tech policy.

They'll just use their algorithms to identify and explode another "drug" ship as a distraction and everything will be back on track in a jiffy.

@ChrisMayLA6 This has been in the Swiss press. Striking to see their concern about their security and confidentiality.

How tenaciously Palantir courted Switzerland

Internal documents show how the country finally rejected pitches by tech company Palantir.

@schuga @ChrisMayLA6 ‘This company should be nowhere near any UK government department, let alone our NHS and nuclear weapons. We have handed control of the most important and vital instruments of state to what amounts to a hostile foreign power.’ #Palentir

Is Labour in too deep to escape from the takeover by U.S. techno fascists? The fascist cults MAGA and Reform already believe they’ve won. I reckon they are too few and the feedback from their inflation, purges, illegal arrests, assassinations, genocides, ecocide and wars will be a rude awakening. The people of the U.S. and the U.K. will rise up; greedy loser cowards hell bent on trashing Earth will be defeated! #FreedomFromFascists

@ChrisMayLA6 the real story is the Swiss were not corrupted, whereas the British government gave Palantir a number of sweetheart contracts without even competitive bidding.

In a twist you couldn’t make up if you tried, the head of Palantir UK is Louis Mosley, grandson of Oswald Mosley, founder of the British Union of Fascists.

@ChrisMayLA6 They're in a number of Swiss headquartered companies (e.g. Novartis )so it's interesting to see how this pans out.

@ChrisMayLA6 good, they need to be exposed as the security breach, genocide enabling that they are. And hopefully get booted off the NHS too.
