Palantir Was Engineered to Bypass the Constitution. Whitney Webb’s reporting lays out a disturbing origin story for Palantir — one that goes far beyond the glossy tech‑savior branding the company sells today. According to her research, Palantir didn’t begin as a private innovation at all. It began as a...

This is insane ‌ Whitney Webb gives a history of Palantir ‌ Palantir essentially started as a DARPA project. It was going to completely destroy our constitutional protections so it was quietly taken out of government and rebranded as a private company to do the same thing

Whitney Webb just exposed the truth about Palantir’s origins. It was created to privatize mass surveillance. “Don’t tell me this is a conspiracy theory.” “Alex Karp admitted that the CIA was always the intended client of Palantir.” Webb and Mark Goodwin just broke down the truth about Palantir’s origins: After 9/11, DARPA launched the Information Awareness Office to develop a government mass surveillance apparatus. Reagan-era National Security Advisor John Poindexter led the new IAO. After massive public scrutiny and backlash, Congress defunded it. But the program never really shut down. It was moved into the private sector with the help of Peter Thiel and Alex Karp. Webb: “Peter Thiel comes, fresh off of selling PayPal … he’s got all this money, and he’s like: I’m gonna make this company called Palantir.” “Palantir … had really started off as the anti-fraud algorithm at PayPal.” “When PayPal was being created, Max Levchin sort of gave it away.” Goodwin revealed that Max Levchin essentially admitted in an interview at the time: “When I was developing all the anti-fraud stuff at PayPal, I was working with every three and four letter agency that I could.” “Meaning the CIA, and the DOD, and DARPA.” “They form PayPal in the late ‘90s.” “They make a bunch of money, and it’s Thiel and Levchin, admittedly working with the CIA and NSA, while developing this anti-fraud stuff.” “He takes that anti-fraud algorithm, which was built with the CIA in the private sector, and then rebrands it as Palantir.” Webb: “As they’re setting it up, they go through Richard Perle, who was involved with the Bush-era Department of Defense, and I believe the Office of Special Plans.” “He’s approached by Peter Thiel and Alex Karp.” “They’re basically like: we want to talk to John Poindexter, because what he was trying to do is what we want to do.” “They go and meet with Poindexter, who becomes named basically the godfather of modern surveillance because of this.” “He advises them on how to create Palantir.” “And then Palantir gets in bed pretty much right away with the CIA.” “They were their first and only client for their first six years.” Whitney Webb markgoodw.in

Investigative journalist Whitney Webb: "They don't really need blackmail anymore... [Palantir is] the new Jeffrey Epstein." "If they want to blackmail you... they just access what Palantir sucked up about you—your search history, your communications, your finances, tweets you've liked in the past, all sorts of things." "You don't really need Epstein in the surveillance era." "The disturbing thing about Palantir is that it's really about pre-crime. They were the pioneers of predictive policing." "Palantir is the resurrection of [a] DARPA program called Total Information Awareness—that was so scandalous when it was announced it was defunded by Congress." "But then they realised that if they turned it into a private company, no one would complain. And that's how we got Palantir."

Maajid Nawaz from Italy on the Pope's encyclical address warning about Ai: “Peter Thiel’s Palantir as a company, using the UK as a case study, already has, due to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, already has contracts to manage the nation’s, all of the nation’s health data unified on one platform and that health data being interpreted as it is by Palantir’s autonomous AI, making life and death decisions on the nation’s health. Palatir also separately has a contract with the Metropolitan Police using a combination of not just facial recognition but predictive programming to determine crime and to set the police’s priorities. This is something that, they already have this deal with the Metropolitan Police, but in addition, if you add Palantir’s contracts with the Ministry of Defence in the UK, like it has in the Department of Defence in the United States of America, you can see how a combination of health data, domestic crime surveillance and foreign war-mongering, being all under the auspices of one private company called Palantir, in the UK and in the US, it’s the same, it is a particularly worrying scenario.”

NEW: Joe Lonsdale sets the record straight on Palantir: "What Palantir is doing is bringing two things: One, it's bringing competence ...Two, it's bringing a framework of civil liberties where we watch the watchers... I don't trust government... but I do want government to be competent enough to keep our nation safe and to defeat our adversaries and to stop wasting money." Will Cain: There is some concern Palantir is playing a large role in the security, state, foreign affairs and surveillance in America. And I think there's a fair amount of concern, maybe even some skepticism from some who would share other political points of view with you about the role of Palantir. What would you tell them about surveillance and this private company? Joe Lonsdale: So Palantir, first of all, it's doubling in the commercial markets...So it's a bigger commercial company for a lot of its value. It's not just a government company. When we did start to work in the government, you have to see what was there before. There are no audit trails in the watchers. They're abusing data. They were using it incompetently. What Palantir is doing is bringing two things: One, it's bringing competence to do these things well. And then two, it's bringing a framework of civil liberties where we watch the watchers and everyone around them can see what they've done. They can't hide their work. Because I don't trust government. I'm a civil libertarian, but I do want government to be competent enough to keep our nation safe and to defeat our adversaries and to stop wasting money. Will: We're all concerned about government and government oversight, but we also want to guard against a company that has too much power. So how do we ensure that with for example, a company like Palantir, is that through trusting someone like you or Peter Thiel? Is it the trust of your dedication to civil liberties? Joe: So I founded Palantir, but I'm not in charge of that anymore. Other people are in charge; people I admire. What I would say is Palantir is empowering our government leaders. So Palantir itself doesn't take in data to Palantir. Palantir itself doesn't make these decisions. What Palantir does is it lets the people running ICE, the people running the FBI, the people running the Department of War do things more efficiently. And it's up to them to be in charge. It's up to the president himself to be in charge. That's who we have to trust. via Will Cain & The Will Cain Show $PLTR #PLTR

“A company that is involved in policing a concentration camp known as Gaza should not be anywhere near NHS data.” Dr Bob Gill’s words cut to the core. Palantir, the US tech giant with deep ties to the israeli war criminals and surveillance operations in Gaza, is being courted by the UK government to handle sensitive NHS data. This is more than a data deal it’s the infiltration of Britain’s public health system by a corporation complicit in genocide. A company that aids the monitoring, profiling, and suppression of Palestinians has no legitimacy to be trusted with the private medical information of millions.

DISTURBING: Trump Taps Palantir to Build a Master Surveillance System—And DOGE Helped Open the Door President Trump has enlisted Palantir Technologies to build a massive, cross-agency database tracking every American citizen. This isn’t just government overreach—it’s the blueprint for a digital dragnet. Trump’s executive order called for unprecedented data sharing between federal agencies. Now, Palantir’s “Foundry” platform is being embedded in DHS, HHS, and the IRS—giving the government access to everything from your bank accounts and medical records to social media activity and more. It gets worse. Palantir’s “Gotham” software was quietly tested in New Orleans for pre-crime policing. It mapped social ties, scanned social media, and flagged people as future offenders—all based on predictive data. Now add AI to that mix—and you’ve built the ultimate weapon of control. Palantir CEO Alex Karp even bragged about single-handedly stopping the rise of the far right in Europe. Let that sink in. A private company—deciding whose politics are too dangerous to exist? This isn’t a theory. It’s already happening. And DOGE may have been the Trojan horse that let it all in. 's report exposes the connections no one else will touch—don’t miss it!

Former Palantir / The Antifraud Company Founder Alex Shieh on building a ‘private-sector DOGE’ using AI and investigative journalism to track down fraud: "We're not a SAAS company. We like to use 'snitching as a service.' We only get money when we blow the whistle, and the government gets a recovery." "The business model for investigative journalism is not great as it stands with advertising dollars. You can make content that's equally as engaging for a fraction of the cost." Via TBPN

NSA WHISTLEBLOWER: FLOCK CAMERAS ARE BUILDING A 24/7 SURVEILLANCE GRID NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake is warning that Flock cameras are not just “crime‑fighting tools”; they are the backbone of a growing surveillance ecosystem designed to track the movements of ordinary citizens in real time. By outsourcing this infrastructure to private companies, governments can sidestep constitutional limits and claim they’re merely “buying a product,” even as they gain full ability to monitor entire populations. This network doesn’t stop at license plates. With technologies that can detect Bluetooth and other wireless signals, your car’s plate, your phone, your smartwatch, and other devices all become beacons. Together, they feed into systems that can build detailed profiles of where you drive, who you visit, which events you attend, and how you move through your city. All data that can then be stored, queried, and shared far beyond your local police department. Thomas Drake breaks down how these converging signals- license plate readers, Bluetooth and wireless transmissions, in‑vehicle communication systems, and more create a de facto tracking system on every American. And when that system is run through private corporations instead of directly by government, it opens a dangerous backdoor: the unlimited power to quietly misuse this data, with far less oversight and far fewer constitutional protections than most people realize.

🚨 PALANTIR JUST CALLED FOR MANDATORY MILITARY SERVICE FOR EVERY AMERICAN — THIS IS HOW THEY TAKE CONTROL Palantir, a surveillance company wired into U.S. intelligence and sitting on $2B+ in government contracts, just published a 22-point manifesto. And one line hits like a warning: “National service should be a universal duty.” Not optional. Not volunteer. Mandatory. Everyone. But that’s just the surface. Because when you read all 22 points together, it stops sounding like ideas and starts sounding like a system: • Silicon Valley “owes a moral debt” — tech must serve the state • Calls consumer tech a distraction — “the tyranny of apps” • Says free platforms and soft power have failed • Pushes hard power built on software • Admits AI weapons are inevitable — and someone will control them • Frames surveillance infrastructure as national defense • Suggests ending the volunteer-only military • Says society must share the cost and risk of war • “If a Marine asks for a better rifle… we should build it.” • Calls out division, politics, and loss of national direction A surveillance company. Building data systems. Powering intelligence networks. Is now talking about: Who serves Who fights How wars are run And how society is structured At the same time AI weapons are accelerating At the same time global tensions are rising At the same time data systems are scaling faster than ever That’s not random. That’s alignment. Because if the same entity that tracks behavior… builds the infrastructure… and influences the ideology… Then opting out isn’t really an option anymore. And people are starting to ask the question: Is this a warning… or the blueprint for a system nobody voted on?

LA Riots, Palantir & the AI Control Grid: DISTURBING Connections Exposed w/ Derrick Broze "For those who don't know, Palantir was a company that was actually founded right after 9-11. So post 9-11, hysteria, you know, got to catch the terrorists everywhere. There was a program that launched called Total Information Awareness that not too many people might be aware of. It was a government program. You may have seen the logo out there, and it is a real logo. It was a picture of the Earth a globe of the earth with an all-seeing eye pyramid sort of looking over it and that was the original logo for the Total Information Awareness Program. But to me, it's a sign of how far things have gone because 22 years ago when this program was coming out, people were actually resistant about it. There was organizations like the ACO and others were writing about it. Even the mainstream was writing saying this could be a danger to Americans' privacy and liberty. But that all changed."

🚨 THE MOST IMPORTANT VIDEO YOU’LL WATCH TODAY AND IT’S ONLY 3.5 MINUTES LONG 🚨 What if I told you one company... Palantir (founded by Peter Thiel, with deep CIA roots) is already the invisible backbone of government surveillance across the US, UK, and Australia? This “Honest Government Ad” from The Juice Media doesn’t speculate. It simply connects the dots that are already public: - ICE contracts for tracking and enforcement - £900M+ UK deals spanning NHS patient data, Ministry of Defence, police, and intelligence - Australian Defence contracts Real-time data integration from phones, apps, supermarkets, and movement tracking - Thiel-linked networks discussing AI takeover, global power shifts, and “cult-building” (as reported in recent investigations) They call it “national security.” Critics call it the most sophisticated surveillance infrastructure ever built... one that turns your digital life into searchable, predictive intelligence. Here are the questions that actually matter: Would you be comfortable knowing an AI system owned by a private company has a live profile on you... your purchases, your location history, your associations; accessible to governments? Where is the line between “fighting crime/terrorism” and total population monitoring? If this technology already exists and is expanding rapidly in 2026, what happens in 3 years when it’s fully integrated with facial recognition, predictive policing, and AI decision making? Are you okay with this level of power concentrated in the hands of a handful of tech billionaires and the governments that contract them? Watch the full video now. Then answer honestly in the comments: YES - if this terrifies you and you want more people to see it. NO - if you think it’s necessary for security. MAYBE - if you’re still processing it. Tag 3 friends who need to see this. RT if you believe privacy is a human right, not a privilege governments can outsource. The future isn’t coming. It’s already here... and it has a name as long as we allow it to.

WHITNEY WEBB on "Thiel-verse oligarchs" aiming to turn the US into a "sovcorp" run by a CEO "Palantir is...being set up to be the beta test" "[these] people...want one company to replace [America's] governing structure" "[NYT] literally called [Palantir] the one seeing eye" This clip of Webb (Whitney Webb), author of One Nation Under Blackmail and contributing editor of unlimitedhangout(.)com, is taken from a discussion with Ryan Cristian (The Last American Vagabond), Hrvoje Morić (Geopolitics & Empire), et al. posted to the Corbett Report YouTube channel on May 29, 2026. ---------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "There is this push from the— from Peter Thiel, the Thiel-verse and all of these tech oligarchs that are aligned with him, not to single him out, but it's a squad, to basically create a— turn the US Government into a private corporation, which it technically already is. The multinational corporation runs everything, right? "But it's a way to sort of formalize that and have, you know, a national CEO run the country, as a dictator. And they call it, you know, either Sovcorp for 'sovereign corporation' or govcorp, a governing corporation. "And I think Palantir is basically being set up to be the beta test for that because not only have they been handed the military, and our entire intelligence community, they've now under, under the current iteration of Trump, been handed all of our agricultural data, all of our health care data, and IRS, you know, I mean, it has just expanded and become total. "And I think that's extremely concerning when you consider the people that run this are literally ideologically aligned with people that want one company to replace the governing structure of the, of the country. "So... if we allow them to continue to do this Palantir, will they already— I mean, the New York Times said they know already know everything about you and literally called them the one seeing eye. And Total Information Awareness is the pyramid with the beam covering the earth, you know? I mean they're just like rubbing it in your face. "But what it ultimately comes down to is that, you know, obviously those of us in independent media putting ourselves out there, we're putting a certain amount of data into the void, with the hope that people will wake up and do something about it.

WHITNEY WEBB on "Thiel-verse oligarchs" aiming to turn the US into a "sovcorp" run by a CEO "Palantir is...being set up to be the beta test" "[these] people...want one company to replace [America's] governing structure" "[NYT] literally called [Palantir] the one seeing eye" This clip of Webb (Whitney Webb), author of One Nation Under Blackmail and contributing editor of unlimitedhangout(.)com, is taken from a discussion with Ryan Cristian (The Last American Vagabond), Hrvoje Morić (Geopolitics & Empire), et al. posted to the Corbett Report YouTube channel on May 29, 2026. ---------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "There is this push from the— from Peter Thiel, the Thiel-verse and all of these tech oligarchs that are aligned with him, not to single him out, but it's a squad, to basically create a— turn the US Government into a private corporation, which it technically already is. The multinational corporation runs everything, right? "But it's a way to sort of formalize that and have, you know, a national CEO run the country, as a dictator. And they call it, you know, either Sovcorp for 'sovereign corporation' or govcorp, a governing corporation. "And I think Palantir is basically being set up to be the beta test for that because not only have they been handed the military, and our entire intelligence community, they've now under, under the current iteration of Trump, been handed all of our agricultural data, all of our health care data, and IRS, you know, I mean, it has just expanded and become total. "And I think that's extremely concerning when you consider the people that run this are literally ideologically aligned with people that want one company to replace the governing structure of the, of the country. "So... if we allow them to continue to do this Palantir, will they already— I mean, the New York Times said they know already know everything about you and literally called them the one seeing eye. And Total Information Awareness is the pyramid with the beam covering the earth, you know? I mean they're just like rubbing it in your face. "But what it ultimately comes down to is that, you know, obviously those of us in independent media putting ourselves out there, we're putting a certain amount of data into the void, with the hope that people will wake up and do something about it. "But if you are watching this and this stuff concerns you, starve them of your data as much as possible. And I think the most powerful thing you can do is get rid of your smartphone. I know Hakeem sells alternatives, but, if you really need one, you know, but you do not need to have an Android or an Apple device on you. You can live without it. You lived without it before.

FISA 702 just passed the House with zero reforms. This bill allows the government to access Americans’ private communications without a warrant, in direct violation of the Fourth Amendment protections. As the government lays the groundwork for spying, its allies in private corporations are rapidly rolling out consumer-grade surveillance technologies into everyday homes. Tools introduced for convenience can also become access points for data collection. We unpack this and more with HealthRanger.

This is horrifying and every American needs to hear this California resident exposes what’s really going on with Flock Cameras in America “I want to be clear what these cameras actually are, and I say that with somebody with 20 years of experience in IT. I've served as the chief network architect for Fortune 500 companies, I've designed data centers, and today I work on cloud infrastructure for one of the largest loan origination companies in the country. I'm not speculating on how this technology works. I've read their patents and I know how it works. Flock advertises these cameras as simple license plate readers. But their own patents tell a different story. They're AI-powered surveillance machines that capture every passing vehicle and person and transmit that data to a private corporate cloud, making it queryable by a multitude of state and federal agencies. The city of Corona does not control that database, and Corona residents have no public record rights against a private company's servers. Our daily movements are being harvested by a $7.5 billion corporation, that only answers to venture capital investors, not to us. Flock did not reach that valuation on their per-camera subscription fees. That math doesn't add up The city council should also understand who they're doing business with. Flock CEO was asked whether the company had any federal contracts. He said no. That was a lie. Public records revealed that Flock had been secretly running a pilot program giving the US Border Patrol access to local police camera data without the knowledge of the cities that paid for the cameras. Now consider who's behind the company and where your data flows. Flock integrates directly with Palantir, a data fusion platform, with a $30 million contract with ICE. Peter Thiel, the founder of Palantir, is also one of Flock's primary investors. These are not separate companies with separate agendas. They are connected actors that are building a connected infrastructure. Palantir's own CEO stated publicly just this month that his technology is being used as a political instrument, designed to reduce the political power of certain voters. And that's the ecosystem that our Corona cameras are feeding into. We're not anti-police at all. We're against mass surveillance of innocent residents by a company with a documented record of deception, built by investors with a stated political agenda. We're asking the City Council to start auditing the queries made against Flock's database, to disclose any data sharing agreements, and to take a vote to cancel the Flock safety contract” I looked more into this and he is 100% right Patents describe broader object detection, including tracking people and pedestrians, patents like US11416545B1. The system uses a centralized cloud database for nationwide queries Data goes to Flock’s private cloud, AWS-based, encrypted. Nationwide lookup is common, 75%+ of customers are enrolled enabling cross-jurisdictional searches. Residents have no direct public records access to the corporate servers. This creates a mass surveillance network feeding a private company’s infrastructure If you ask me this is laying the infrastructure for a mass surveillance network in America. We are being lied to.

$PLTR alright folks superbowl coming up after the bell regardless of what happens to the stock, being part of this community and getting to cover Palantir's journey has been one of the greatest blessings in my life. i really can't express my gratitude for people trusting me as a source for their Palantir news and coverage. it's been 4 years, 2k videos, 200 episodes of a weekly Palantir podcast...and I wouldn't have changed a single thing. having said that, we've got a ton of storylines going into earnings that can affect the stock: - is the SARs expense priced in or not? how bad is the hit? - does Palantir need to guide upwards of 35% YoY growth in 2025 for the street to be happy given the multiple its trading at or can they be at 30% and below? - if topline growth isn't as strong, are FCF growth, operating income margins, rule of 40, etc. enough to allow the street to feel Palantir will continue to grow into their potential? - if DeepSeek proved that LLMs are commodities and an LLM company like OpenAI is about to raise at $340B, what does that mean for a company like Palantir that's profitable and growing in the public markets? - what does government growth look like now with DOGE and can Palantir guide for some type of catalyst because of the government's willingness to spend more on software? Overall, I think Dr. Karp, Shaym Sankar and the entire team are going to crush it by essentially making the same argument they have made for 2 years: Palantir creates outcomes and that is what their customers pay for, not LLMs that can be found a dime-a-dozen and simply plugged into AIP, which is the software layered on Foundry that Palantir believes can create such incredible and transformative use cases (and we've seen many case studies of this already) that lead to them becoming one of the most important companies in the world. The stock will likely see algos and headlines that can move it, but this quarter is going to be determined by guidance, their ability to show continued growth and the market's overall interpretation of where Palantir lies in the broader AI sector. TIME TO EMBRACE ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE ONGOING STORY OF ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING COMPANIES ON PLANET EARTH. & the best part is, we get to all embrace that chapter together, as a community. LFG.

Palantir is directly supplying the IAEA with its Mosaic software, used for algorithmic surveillance and nuclear assessment targeting. Bloomberg confirmed this relationship as far back as 2018, placing Peter Thiel and Palantir at the heart of Iran-related inspections. The recent IAEA censure of Iran was informed by Palantir-fed data. That makes the “neutral” inspection regime a proxy ISR layer for Zionist-aligned platforms. This is about feeding machine-curated casus belli into the system until Tel Aviv or Langley can pull the trigger. AI-driven assessments are now potential triggers for kinetic escalation.

🚨Kim Dotcom Exposes Alleged Palantir Hack With Explosive Claims That Could Rock the World 🌎 Internet legend Kim Dotcom has broken this story. He says Palantir was hacked using an AI agent that got full super-user access. If true, the fallout could be massive for governments, leaders, and global security. Here are the key allegations in simple terms: - Peter Thiel and Alex Karp ran huge secret surveillance on world leaders and top business figures. - They hold thousands of hours of recorded and searchable private talks with Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Elon Musk. - They installed secret backdoors in phones, cars, and private jets of major leaders and built the largest blackmail file ever seen. - Palantir is building nuclear and biological weapons for Ukraine with the CIA to defeat Russia. They think they are one year from success and are using fake peace talks to keep Russia tied down. - Palantir created the AI targeting system that caused most Palestinian deaths in Gaza. - Palantir works as a direct arm of the CIA. All data from clients around the world gets copied straight into a secret CIA cloud. - Palantir has turned into the most dangerous company on Earth. Employees have the right to know what their AI is really being used for. - The stolen Palantir data will now be handed to Russia and/or China. Kim Dotcom says he was picked as the trusted person to release this. He was not part of the hack and does not know the hackers, but he confirms the breach happened.

Catherine Austin Fitts: "I think Palantir is in partnership with the Netanyahu syndicate... [and] they have the treasury data, the IRS data, [and] they have the Social Security data... [and they're] building a complete biometric surveillance [grid] of the entire population." This clip of Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, investment banker, and founder of the Solari Report (The Solari Report | Catherine Austin Fitts), is taken from an interview with Gary Heasley, et al. of The Conservative Voice (The Conservative Voice) posted to X on July 8, 2025. ---------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "I think Palantir is in partnership with the Netanyahu syndicate and the breakaways. I don't, you know. But they have contracts with Health and Human Services. They have contracts. The government pays them massive amounts. Massive amounts of money. Massive amounts of money. "And so if you look at the Doge theft, what you've done is you've moved between the government contracts. You know, there's a new sole source ICE contract on the way to Palantir as well. That's just announced. I just found that last night. So you've got, you know, you. Basically, they have the treasury data, they have the IRS data, they have the Social Security data. [And now] they're going to have all the ICE data. "And then, Trump has announced he wants to privatize Freddie and Fannie, but Palantir is going to underwrite all the packages before they come into Freddie and Fannie. So they're going to have all the housing data. And we know HHS has said they're organizing all the health, public and private health data, so I'm assuming that's going in as well. And basically you're talking about that data being managed and, and I think at this point, basically privatized into AI. "So the Doge operation, if I'm right, and this is my hypothesis, if the Doge operation did what I think, they transferred all the data. And, and, and they did it when an XAI announced a partnership with Palantir. And then the government turned around and Palantir had a lot of contracts with those agencies anyway. But, but then they gave them additional contracts, and so they have plenty of money, especially the ICE is going to be sole source, so you can just do pretty much whatever you want. So they have plenty of money to manage that data. And yes, I think they have it on a private basis. "And what's interesting, I have somebody, a professional that I work with who has for, for his business, has to do income verification. And, magically, two weeks after, Doge got the Treasury, Social Security and irs, suddenly the income verification service he uses announces they have 100% of Americans now complete data on everyone. Magically. "[Also,] the ICE story is complicated because there are multiple things going on, but there's no doubt the primary thing going on is building a complete biometric surveillance of the entire population."

Whitney Webb, an investigative journalist renowned for exposing the underbelly of power, has sounded a clarion call for a public reckoning on the unchecked fusion of Silicon Valley and the national security state. In a recent interview, she highlighted the growing entanglement of tech giants and government agencies, a partnership that threatens to erode civil liberties under the guise of innovation. Far from being a Luddite, Webb insists that the issue isn’t technology itself but the lack of transparency, accountability, and public debate surrounding its deployment—particularly when AI algorithms, hyped as infallible, are outsourced to make critical decisions impacting lives and freedoms. Webb points to a chilling example from the COVID-19 era in Rhode Island, where then-Governor Gina Raimondo greenlit a partnership with Diagnostic Robotics, an Israeli company tasked with using state health data to predict COVID-19 outbreaks. The goal? To identify “hot spots” and trigger localized lockdowns, restricting commerce and freedom of movement. Yet, as Webb uncovered, the algorithm’s accuracy—touted by the company at roughly 70-80%—was never independently vetted. “What if it’s closer to 60% or 50%?” she asks. “That’s no better than a coin toss, yet we’re handing over immense power to these systems, with real consequences for people’s lives.” This case raises profound questions about the reliability of AI and the motives behind its adoption. Webb notes that Diagnostic Robotics’ use of health data, even if “anonymized,” likely skirted HIPAA protections under emergency COVID-19 justifications. The opacity of these decisions—coupled with the company’s ties to broader tech and security networks—underscores a dangerous trend: private-sector AI, often backed by multimillion-dollar contracts with the national security state, is being sold as a public good without scrutiny. “When companies with deep conflicts of interest are shaping policy and decision-making, we need to ask who benefits,” Webb argues. The hype surrounding AI, she warns, has created a public perception that algorithms are inherently smarter, more efficient, and more cost-effective than human judgment. This narrative, fueled by industry PR and amplified by a complicit media, obscures the reality: many AI systems are unproven, prone to errors, and deployed without rigorous oversight. In Rhode Island, an unverified algorithm could have dictated who could leave their homes or keep their businesses open—a power Webb deems “terrifying” when accuracy is questionable and accountability absent. At the heart of Webb’s critique is the erosion of civil liberties, a process she sees as opportunistic and accelerating. The national security state, long adept at exploiting crises to curtail freedoms, has found a willing partner in Silicon Valley. Together, they form a “fused blob” that operates with impunity, shielded by claims of proprietary technology and national interest. “This isn’t about stifling innovation,” Webb emphasizes. “It’s about ensuring that innovation doesn’t become a trojan horse for surveillance and control.” Webb’s call to action is clear: the public must demand transparency and independent validation of AI systems before they’re entrusted with life-altering decisions. From local governments to federal agencies, outsourcing to algorithms without rigorous debate is a recipe for disaster. She urges Americans to question the narratives pushed by tech giants and their government allies, to scrutinize conflicts of interest, and to prioritize civil liberties over blind faith in AI’s promise. “If we don’t have this discussion now,” she warns, “we risk waking up in a world where our freedoms are algorithmically determined—and no one asked for our consent.”
