Palantir is the corporate Big Brother. The CIA-backed company gets most of its revenue from government contracts. It profits from war, mass surveillance, and even dystopian “predictive policing”.

Even I am surprised at how quickly this has escalated. We got a big-time warning from the oil market earlier in the week. Whenever we see these things show up, usually there’s a little back and forth, in and out, the thing starts out as a little blip and stays that way for awhile. Then, …
President Gustavo Petro, of Columbia, is an illegal drug leader strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Columbia.
