If only people weren't so dismissive of Snowden when he exposed Palantir and the NSA
I agree, but don't forget how MSM and the duopoly treat whistleblowers, as well as the Russiagate smears.
Propaganda works; that is why so much money is involved in politics and media.
Any thoughts on Whitney Web?
From what I know, she seems to be a great investigative journalist who has spoken about the surveillance state, Palantir, Peter Thiel, Jeffrey Epstein, and what industries have ties to organized crime.
Here is her archived website:

About:
Whitney Webb has been a professional writer, researcher and journalist since 2016. She has written for several websites and, from 2017 to 2020, was a staff writer and senior investigative reporter for Mint Press News. She currently writes for The Last American Vagabond and hosts an independent podcast called Unlimited Hangout.
Whitney has made numerous radio, television and video appearances, appearing on left-leaning programs like The Real News Network, Media Roots and The Zero Hour as well as right-leaning programs like The Tom Woods Show and The QTR podcast. Her work aims to highlight under-reported issues and find common ground between people of different political persuasions regarding corruption, government overreach, the lack of accountability for militaries and intelligence agencies and the military-industrial complex.
She is currently writing a book on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal based on her viral investigative series and has contributed to a soon-to-be available book on the Coronavirus Epidemic authored by former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. Whitney lives in Chile with her 2 year old daughter and her dogs, Worf and Sisko.^[[1] https://archive.ph/CFF74 | https://unlimitedhangout.com/about-me/]

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.

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.
That ain't cool. That kid didn't decide that.
-
That ain't cool. That kid didn't decide that.
While I genuinely understand where you're coming from, his kid will almost certainly grow up to be a russian genocidal imperialist.

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.

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.

You can fuck right off with your "pawn for the West", you tankie cockroach.
I live in Ukraine (I am originally from Donbas no less). Let's hope you end up in the Izolyatsia camp in occupied Donetsk oblast. You're word salad about "Ukraine being a pawn" isn't going to help you there. They are not going to care that you helped spread russian propaganda.
You don't speak Ukrainian, you've never lived in Ukraine and you have no clue what you are talking about.

Fuck Glenn Greenwald. He is a russian shill and supports russian genocidal imperialism.
I hope one day he meets the same fate as "Donbas cowboy", Russell Bentley:
Bentley’s wife, Lyudmila, then claimed that Russian soldiers from a tank battalion abducted him.
According to the Investigative Committee, Vansyatsky, Agaltsev, and Iordanov tortured Bentley on April 8, and he died shortly afterward.
Vansyatsky and Agaltsev are suspected of blowing up a car with Bentley’s body in it and ordering Bazhin to get rid of what was left of his remains.
I understand why the highly emotional response; we all have our subject that is dear to us. Mine is the Palestine genocide that is funded and fully supported by my country, the United States.
Fuck Glenn Greenwald. He is a russian shill and supports russian genocidal
I would implore you to stop only consuming Western pro-war propaganda and check out people like Professor Jeffrey Sachs.
He outlines, in simple terms, the events that led to the war between Ukraine and Russia, as well as the Western push to also antagonize Iran and China.
Self-built echo chambers and self-censorship are not healthy, nor do they help our society; we must always be critical of our governments and the politicians (paid-off lackeys of the owner class, oligarchs).

Sashs and Greenwald are russian shills and support russian gencidal imperialism.
Neither of them speak Ukrainian or russian (and have never lived in Ukraine or russia) and are merely reciting russian propaganda narratives (at times directly sourced from russian security services).
There is a beautiful irony in you chimping out about "echo chambers" and self-censorship when you can't even read Ukrainian or russian.
If you could read russian, you would find that their doctrinal government writings on propaganda approaches (from the 90s no less) specifically cite idiots like you (it's something along the lines of the "useful idiot" term, albeit the texts go into more detailed descriptions) and shills like Sachs as a core area for foreign propaganda distribution.

It seems the divide and conquer strategy still works really well.
Glenn Greenwald is not a perfect person, but we cannot deny his great work as a journalist, his work with Snowden, and his continued integrity with his show, System Update.
Is the problem with him political tribalism, maybe due to him not supporting your preferred party (duopoly, blue or red team), or the distractions from the oligarchy (culture wars and identity politics, instead of focusing on addressing our society's systematic economic issues)?
I think he is worth uniting with.

Anyway, thanks for the link. I have heard of them, but I am not familiar.
Quick info. about video:
Part One: How Peter Thiel Became the Gravedigger of Democracy [01:11:59 | OCT 30 2025 | Behind the Bastards]
Generated Summary:
Main Topic:
The video, "Part One: How Peter Thiel Became the Gravedigger of Democracy," explores the early life and formative experiences of Peter Thiel, aiming to understand the origins of his controversial political views and actions.
Key Points:
- Peter Thiel's Background: The hosts discuss Thiel's upbringing, including his birth in Germany, his family's move to Cleveland due to his father's work in the oil and gas industry, and a subsequent move to Namibia (Southwest Africa) where his father worked at a uranium mine during the apartheid era.
- Family Influences: The video touches on the differing accounts of Thiel's parents' political leanings (Republican vs. Christian conservatives) and the impact of a specific childhood conversation about death.
- Early Personality and Interests: Thiel is portrayed as an intelligent but somewhat isolated child who excelled academically, enjoyed chess, and was deeply immersed in fantasy literature like "The Lord of the Rings" and Dungeons and Dragons.
- Libertarianism and Anti-Communism: The video highlights Thiel's development of libertarian and anti-communist views, influenced by Ayn Rand and the political climate of Silicon Valley.
- Experiences with Bullying: The hosts discuss how Thiel was bullied as a child, which may have contributed to his misanthropic views.
- Emphasis on Education: The video emphasizes the pressure Thiel felt to succeed academically and attend a prestigious university.
Highlights:
- The discussion of Thiel's father's involvement with a uranium mine in Namibia during apartheid, drawing a parallel between Thiel's childhood and a "supervillain origin story."
- The anecdote about Thiel's intense reaction to losing a chess match, even a scrimmage, suggesting a deep-seated need to win.
- The characterization of Thiel as a "wizard" figure by his peers, someone who was admired but also seen as fundamentally separate and unknowable.
- The mention of Thiel's later-in-life interest in anti-aging research and technologies.

Ah, you also like to use Douglas Murray's desperate attempts at gatekeeping what people can and can't talk about.
I have not been to Palestine, nor do I speak Arabic, but I fully support the Palestinian people, and I know what my country is doing is fully supporting a genocide.
I don't need to visit a certain country or speak any language to be able to see what is really going on.
More forever wars where the working class is sent to die while the oligarchs sit back and take all the important resources.
Edit:
- Word:, Palestine, Palestinian

Wonderful irony that you can't even get the term Palestinian right (the individual initially said Pakistani).
You are so concerned about the plight of the Palestinians, that you can't even state their nationality correctly.
I have to say, thank you for the entertainment!
There is a reason russian propaganda manuals explicitly cite individuals like you as a perfect vehicle for propaganda and undermining foreign countries.
You don't know jack shit about the Ukrainian or russian working class and about Ukrainian/russian oligarchs.
Can you name one Ukrainian oligarch without a web search? Russian ones should be easier, but I bet you would struggle to name three.

Having misspellings and typos is your concern...
Weird, but you do you.
FYI: You also edited your comment, but you did not mention the edit...
Also, being exposed to only Western propaganda is not the honor you seem to believe it is.
We can all come to certain conclusions without needing (your preferred boogeyman) making us a puppet, bot, or brainwashed.

I did edit it, but I didn't mistake Ukrainian for Uruguayan. I merely added some more content; how you can't cite a single Ukrainian or russian oligarch.
Confusing Pakistani and Palestinians is not a typo.
You clearly don't care about the Palestinians and are merely using them for your aesthetic purposes (extremely common among fake leftist Americans).
I am done here.

I am not trying to convince you. Why did you even think I am trying to change your mind, isn't it clear from my tone that this is not the case?
I am just showing everyone how of full of shit you are.

Thanks for the small chat!
We all get emotional; it is understandable. I hope we can unite on other topics.
Like fixing the systematic economic problem our societies face, that would be great.
All is well, Peace.

Yes, it seems that is the goal of many on forums.
Here is my mantra I try to uphold:

Those just seem like smears from the duopoly (oligarch lackeys) loving apologetics (celebrity worshipper).
I wont watch the video. I have heard all I need to from that man.
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)
