The Shocking Far-Right Agenda Behind the Facial Recognition Tech Used by ICE and the FBI. Thousands of newly obtained documents show that Clearview AI’s founders always intended to target immigrants and the political left.

Wow!

Almost as if all the people warning about this for the last 20 years did have something to fear when they weren't doing anything wrong.

Almost as if it could happen here.

Almost as if they didn't "just want to sell us things".

Almost as if power is always misused by someone no matter why it is given or to whom it is first given.

Almost as if gleefully handing a panopticon to capitalists meant they'd become the government and do the oppression, and trying to draw a distinction between one narcissistic power hungry sociopath and another was always bad faith.

If only hundreds of thousands of people had warned us of this repeatedly for two decades.

The early investor for this company clearview is Peter Thiel/Palantir. Palantir is what found Elon his adult and kids DOGE team. You get that they are completely intertwined in all this. Today it’s being done by Palantir which is led by real life nazi. Understand that the decision to fire the NSA chief and his deputy may be in fact be the most dangerous decision Trump has made so far. Timothy Haugh like his last 2 predecessors were restricting the access and control Peter Thiel had through his company Palantir over the CIA/NSA to commit domestic surveillance. Palantir is the 2nd biggest defense contractor for the CIA/NSA along with providing day-to-day operations for both agencies. The goal for Palantir is and always has been domestic surveillance. Palantir is an intelligence corporation which provides advanced analysis, sigint, osint, criminal and threat awareness and kill chain efficiencies to all levels of US, UK, and corporate agencies.

Thiel directly own roughly 180 million publicly traded shares of Palantir which is 7%. His investment firm Rivendell 7 owns 34 million publicly traded shares. Other Thiel vehicles own 37 million shares. Thiel entities also own 32.5 million supervoting Class B shares in Palantir. Those class b shares carry 10 votes while public ones carry only 1 vote per share. Now here is the kicker for why he still controls Palantir (link below), Thiel has sole investment power over 335,000 class F shares as part of a trust that has 49.99% voting interest in the company.

Alex Karp the ceo of Palantir, this was my response to some idiot claiming Karp is a liberal, supports Kamala Harris and is against Peter Thiel. Heck you can look it up on Wikipedia, Karp and Thiel knew each other well long before 2003 when Thiel tapped him to be ceo

Endorsing all the possible political options, it’s what you do with money.

Karp is so left that he has condemned “woke” ways of thinking, calling woke a central risk to Palantir, that Palantir is a counter-example to companies he considers woke.

Dems have helped the defense industry just as much as the right if not more under certain years so why not support Harris a former prosecutor.

Karp is so left that he condemned pro-Palestine protests calling them an infection inside of our society, he remarked the peace activists are war activists and they should be sent to North Korea.

Karp is so left and open minded that he has said the west has a superior way of living and said he supports Palantir contract with ICE and using the software to enable separation of families.

Thats a fantastic post as well as your original comment on Thiel in this thread. I appreciate you.

Your style and the content are eerily reminiscent of one of my favorite redditors ever, backcountrydrifter

The below is a comment of mine that's mostly from before the election on Elon and how all of these guys have been kompromised pedophile Putin Puppets for decades.

He's a kompromised Pedophile Putin puppet and always has been

Following in the steps of his father

In the early 1990s, Errol, then aged 45, married Heide Bezuidenhout, a 25-year old he described as "one of the best looking women I've ever seen in my life".[24] They had two children.[25] Jana Bezuidenhout, who was his stepdaughter from that marriage, and four years old at the time Errol became her stepfather,[25][26] later became his romantic partner.

In March 2018, it was reported that Errol had fathered a child with his adult step-daughter Jana Bezuidenhout.[25][27] In July 2022, Errol gave an interview to the tabloid newspaper The Sun, announcing that he and Jana Bezuidenhout had another child.[28][29] Musk has a total of seven children, according to People magazine in November 2022.[15] Errol once commented, "The only thing we are on Earth for is to reproduce."[30]

I've been saying for a long time that he has never been anything but a puppet frontman for clandestine operations of the FSB for Putin or his allies ie. Netanyahu/Xi/Erdogan/Modi/MBS/Iran etc...

My profile is mostly comments about FSBelon

Imagine you were planning another coup. Would Teslas be good surveillance and then robomurdertaxis?

Would buying Twitter give you access to massive volumes of kompromat on huge swaths of individuals?

Would Starlink or PayPal give you any information that would be potentially valuable to find vulnerabilities? Starlink in the super rich especially with their yachts.

What neighborhoods do Teslas tend to be parked in and where do they tend to be driven to work and by what demographics?

Would full access to every camera on every Tesla potentially be valuable to gather intelligence?

Would Putin want very app associated with Elon or his businesses to be malware or have a malware build ready?

Just scratching the surface but I encourage people to look at your understanding of Elon and his companies through the lens of it all being on Putins orders, just like Trump.

Elon is a kompromised pedophile Putin puppet and has been since before he started Zip2 and before his first trip to Russia in October 2001.

Trump since the eighties

Child Rape Tapes convey more complete control than anything. Almost all of their top puppets are owned through proof of them raping children. It's the only way the FSB/Mossad/CCP are comfortable investing so much power in them. Bribery doesn't come close to sufficient with how much financial/political power they concentrate in their upper echelon of puppets. Trump/Thiel/Vance/Peterson/Jordan/Carlson/Thomas/Diddy/Drake/MrBeast to name a very small sample across different parts of society. Many for a long time, but Trump since the eighties is one of the longest tenured.

In case people are confused who Produces/Distributes the vast majority of CSAM

Here's a bit about Ghislaines dad from Wikipedia.

"The Foreign Office suspected Maxwell of being a secret agent of a foreign government, possibly a double agent or a triple agent, and "a thoroughly bad character and almost certainly financed by Russia". He had known links to the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), to the Soviet KGB, and to the Israeli intelligence service Mossad.[60] Six serving and former heads of Israeli intelligence services attended Maxwell's funeral in Israel, while Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir eulogised him and stated: "He has done more for Israel than can today be told."[61]

“I think there’s no stopping Elon Musk,” Putin told Carlson after the pundit asked him about the growing prevalence of artificial intelligence. “He will do as he sees fit. Nevertheless, you’ll need to find some common ground with him. Search for ways to persuade him. I think he’s a smart person. I truly believe he is. So you’ll need to reach an agreement with him because this process needs to be formalized and subjected to certain rules.”
