On June 16, 2026, Wired published a bombshell.
A secret elite society called #Dialog, founded in 2006 by billionaire tech investor Peter #Thiel and Silicon Valley entrepreneur Auren #Hoffman, had its internal membership records exposed online. The data was found by maia arson #crimew, the same Swiss hacktivist who discovered the U.S. government’s No-Fly List.
She found names, personal phone numbers, email addresses, birthdates, and emergency contacts of some of the world’s most powerful people, along with "talks" list that is...wow.
But it's a more important story than people realize. It's not just a ketamine fueled Bildeburg with talks on how to build a cult.
It’s where the regulated and the regulator meet without a transcript.

I’m an elderly lefty, living in South West England who’s looking for a nice place in the fediverse where I can share/ learn/ politely disagree etc with others & (occasionally) vent my frustrations & concerns about the parlous state of the world that my grandkids are growing up in! When I’m not “doom scrolling” I enjoy gardening, bird watching, bread baking & being the best granddad I can be.

Is Peter Thiel’s Palantir the most evil company in the world …. along with all the other “tech-bro” $billionaire outfits?
Quite possibly!
Recommended read & please boost!
“The Palantir pipeline: how Peter Thiel’s surveillance firm hired more than 30 senior UK officials”

It's funny how those ultra-long-term decisions always seem to benefit the Tech Bro oligarchs & billionaires and their increasing wealth today as well, allegedly, as the intended beneficiaries - the notional humungous swarms of human beings who will have colonised the Cosmos in the far future, but never we, the ordinary people, who are alive around us today.

A review of the filum 'Orwell: 2+2=5' (about the genesis of Orwell's novel '1984') that I viewed at The Little Theatre, Bath last week.
I highly recommend seeing the documentary about Eric Arthur Blair's last book - it's more than ever apposite as a warning, as Tech Bro Billionaires finally have the technical means by which to subjugate we Proles...

Perhaps the alternatives are not a) Palantir or b) some home-grown less performant substitute.
Perhaps the alternatives are a) Palantir or b) not imposing on one's citizens the sort of mass surveillance and breach of individual human rights that messianic tech bros like Palantir offer to vulnerable national governments...

@BrianHarrod@mastodon.social Peter #Thiel wanted Silicon Valley to get more influence in the White House. One of his "victims" to turn him into a Rep was JD. #Vance. With success.

If true, this is DYNAMITE!
@uk_politics
“An AI agent was used to gain access to Palantir’s files and here’s what the hackers allegedly found [among many others - my edit]:
· Palantir is creating nuclear and bioweapon capabilities for Ukraine and is working closely with the CIA to defeat Russia. They believe they are one year away. They plan to achieve this by keeping Russia busy with meaningless peace negotiations.
· Palantir is responsible for the majority of Palestinian deaths in Gaza. They have developed the AI targeting for Israel.
· Palantir is an arm of the CIA and all data from international clients is copied into a CIA spy cloud.”
Read the whole article by Leo Hohmann on Substack here:
“Hackers claim to have broken into the [US] government’s chief data-collection firm Palantir and here’s what they claim to have found”

Age verification is not en never was about protecting children. It's about mass surveillance.
"Once a user verifies their identity with Persona, the software performs 269 distinct verification checks and scours the internet and government sources for potential matches, such as by matching your face to politically exposed persons (PEPs), and generating risk and similarity scores for each individual. IP addresses, browser fingerprints, device fingerprints, government ID numbers, phone numbers, names, faces, and even selfie backgrounds are analyzed and retained for up to three years."

Tak, były doniesienia, w Oko press pojawił się artykuł pióra naszej @didleth@mastodon.social, ale w narodzie "bezpieczeństwo" wyłącza myślenie o #Palantir / #Thiel i media "głównego nurtu" chyba olały...
"Mimo to minister obrony Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz wypowiadał się o planowanej współpracy w samych superlatywach. Podkreślał jej rolę dla bezpieczeństwa państwa. Opowiadał o rozwoju sztucznej inteligencji i utworzeniu Centrum Implementacji Sztucznej Inteligencji w Dowództwie Komponentu Obrony Cyberprzestrzeni."

Parts of the US „national security strategy“ read like Peter #Thiel and Elon #Musk wrote them while bingeing on Ketamine, blood transfusions from young white males and Ozempic for a weekend.

Morning, all,
“fi-fi-fo-fump
I smell a reek like Trump…”
Robbie Gibb led the coup against his own fellow conservative and BBC DG, Tim Davie.
The Far Right movement funded by oligarchs worldwide to preserve and increase their obscene wealth, undeserved privilege and malevolent influence never sleeps and requires our constant resistance.
