If you have been following my posts, you will know that I have argued that the Mainstream Media and a lot of Alt Media were incorrect in their initial assessments of the Israeli strike on Iran and their insistence that the IDF devastated Iran’s air defense capability using F35 “stealth” aircraft and precision targeted missiles.
Under a new directive quietly pushed through by the Trump administration, every U.S. federal agency, from the IRS to Homeland Security, is now required to share personal data with Palantir, an AI-powered surveillance tech company created by Trump mega donor Peter Thiel.
That includes your medical records. Your tax returns. Your biometrics. Everything. All dumped into Palantir’s AI-powered black box with zero transparency and zero public oversight.
Palantir has a contract empire built on war, deportations, predictive policing, and surveillance. Now they’re tapping directly into the most private databases, and we have no way to know what they’re doing with it. What algorithms are being built? Who’s being profiled? How is this data being used to monitor dissent or target vulnerable communities? And most importantly, who the hell gave them this power?
A growing coalition is demanding answers. Senator Ron Wyden and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are leading the charge in Congress while civil liberties groups, student activists, and labor unions are joining forces. But let’s be clear, Palantir only answers to its Board of Directors, and they’re banking on our silence. That’s why we’re demanding Palantir’s Board disclose exactly what data they’re holding and how it’s being used.
This is a full-scale assault on our privacy and democracy, and we can’t let Palantir hide in the shadows. Demand that their Board reveal exactly what data they’re collecting, where it came from, and how it’s being used right now.
Palantir built software used to help ICE track down and deport immigrant families. They worked with police departments to build racial profiling algorithms cloaked in data science.
Now they’re embedded inside the federal government, with access to data that should never leave the control of democratic institutions.
No CEO, no boardroom, and no Silicon Valley surveillance lab should wield this kind of power. We have to make this an issue they cannot ignore by showing them that the public is watching.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp could not suppress his excitement.
He was on an earnings call in February with the data-mining company's shareholders. Its profits were skyrocketing. Karp was bursting with glee.
"We're doing it! We're doing it!" Karp exclaimed. "And I'm sure you're enjoying this as much as I am!"
Indeed, Karp and Palantir investors have much to enjoy.
Palantir — the name comes from the "seeing stones" from "Lord of the Rings" — has been booming: Its stock market valuation has climbed from $50 billion a year ago to approaching $300 billion today. A company that few outside tech and national security circles would recognize is now worth more than Verizon or Disney and nearly as much as Bank of America.
Thank you for this clear and true analysis of the Wordless reality of the first 2 days of the 12-day war. Very good !! I have nothing to add to that. The rest is very, very good too.
Now a tip of me: Trump creates a lot of confusion. He uses words, emotions and narratives. To try to get something of his real intention (without words) out of it you have to place yourself within the target groups of his communication-flows.
Group one: His MAGA followers, who expect America First, so no new wars and no NATO, just good old Isolationism at least in its own region. AND STOP to migration. And those are clever... So he exits Ukraine, stops sending aid and will not help Europe. With their 5% they can keep Russia out of Berlin, so he can remove US bases, Missiles, B61 gravity Nukes (>200) and end the occupation of west Germany. Troops out of Syria, Iraq, Persian Gulf etc. AND STOP the GENOCIDE...Oops...
Group two: His Republican followers, who are mainly indoctrinated and brainwashed Christian Zionist, NOT clever. So He supports Bibi and he ends the thread of Iran Nukes. Checkout !
Bibi cannot scream: WE ARE DESTROYED, because Bibi said 'we are the best Army, but Iran wants to make Nukes...' Somehow someone, i cannot sense WHO... created a huge show to pull the wool over the US-Zionist eyes and left Bibi powerlessly defeated...
This is a thoughtful and well-articulated reassessment of the so-called “12 Day War” narrative. It’s refreshing to see a deeper dive that challenges the mainstream media’s often oversimplified or sensationalized takes on complex military operations.
I followed Sy Hersh for a short time & concluded he is a (likely unwitting) tool for Deep State limited hangouts & propaganda.
Re: cougar (mountain lion, puma) we have one that periodically travels through our neighborhood.
Heard about it when I 1st moved here. Animal Control officer (who lived down a ways on my street) insisted "transplants" were confused, just a bobcat. Then one morning he was drinking a cuppa, looking out his kitchen window, & it strolled across his back yard. 😂 He had time to grab a pic, which made the cover of our local weekly.
Boy that lives across from me was in his yard when he "felt like he was being watched." Turned around & it was staring at him from behind their shed.
One July I started waking up at 2 am & could hear it "talking" in the woods behind my barn. This went on nightly for a couple weeks. Around the same time, my arabian mare suddenly became unrideable. I could be a passenger, but her attention was focussed 100% on the woods & she was more jumpy & nervous than usual. After 2 weeks she suddenly went back to her normal self. It took a few days for me to realize I was no longer waking ay 2 am.
I've never seen our cougar, but did have one cross a back road right in front of my car a couple decades ago when I lived in Taxachussets.
It's only sad that Iran stopped the latest missiles salvos... If they launched a few more it would end the delusion that IsRaEl & USofT LLC still has about its capabilities.
“Theatre for an intermission” .. my thought s exactly. I don’t believe the B2 would ever take the risk of overflying 500Km of radar and missile infested Iranian airspace .. the “explosions were probably ballistic or cruise just intended to make the “show”
Permission? .. very plausible, a “a one and done” shot .. the Iranians would be into escalation control and an off ramp to stay below Israel nuke threshold .. and also would be why Trump was so hysterically trumpeting “obliterated”. The appearance of any less result would mean a mission failure. Donald doesn’t do failure.
The future looks bright. These drones loaded with explosives give me a bad feeling. Sounds like it cost Israel quite a bit in terms of Spike missiles, drones, cruise missiles and then of course the damage they sustained. Ine can only hope they learned something from their aggressive demeanor.
The whole "12 Day War" was pure theater for Western audiences who apparently need their geopolitics served in digestible soundbites. (see: https://no01.substack.com/p/the-ministry-of-silly-wars ). Your point about Iranian radar tracking Israeli "stealth" aircraft from 300km out perfectly validates what I've been saying: the actual military reality bears zero resemblance to the Hollywood narrative being peddled.
The economic math - drones getting through despite multi-layered defenses while costing peanuts versus Israel burning through $50k+ interceptors - is exactly the unsustainable asymmetry that turns every Israeli "tactical victory" into strategic suicide by a thousand cuts (see: https://no01.substack.com/p/a-jew-an-american-and-a-persian-walk ).
True enough, but all those vassals of the 14 eyes, man, and then the fucking depots in Arab lands, and alas, satellites, dude, with keyhole imagine and thermal penetration. We've let the fucking nerds in high school get those robotics Olypmics golds and silvers, but they grew up as assassins man. Drone soldiers on the SPectrum and with chopstick biceps.
It's the Jews, man, and the offensive weaponms companies, so Iran is great but isolated.
Water water water, and Iran like much of the West Asian countries have WATER issues and wet bulb temperatures of 120 to 130.

WATCH: Brian Berletic tonight with Danny Haiphong. U-tube.
IF we allow these big Company's to get away with 'owning' Government in the West we will be in a war with China/Russia.
Support BRICS

Group 3 is the world theatre that is confused, as you are, by listening to his words and not read what happens in reality.
Group 4 are those in the Geopolitical attic, who have played a part in the show. I can only guess...

Fascinating.
no air conditioner here in VA. for the cougars
will spread the word for yours though
cheers
Heat warnings in about 20 prefectures in Japan. Some deaths already reported.
The IsRaEl - Iran "war" has the same Western PROPAGANDA being spewed by the Western REGIME Media as the Ukrainistan - Russia "war".
Ukrainistan is winning, according to the Western REGIME Media... So therefor IsRael also WON!
Reality does not matter at all.
It's only sad that Iran stopped the latest missiles salvos... If they launched a few more it would end the delusion that IsRaEl & USofT LLC still has about its capabilities.

Nobody knows. But maybe they did -- if the Iranians gave them permission first. :)

In my opinion. Sy Hersch has never been wrong. But he is an old man.
He was the first to say that the US obliterated Nordstream Pipeline. Do NOT discount him.
Hershs analysis on current events is still questionable
True enough, but all those vassals of the 14 eyes, man, and then the fucking depots in Arab lands, and alas, satellites, dude, with keyhole imagine and thermal penetration. We've let the fucking nerds in high school get those robotics Olypmics golds and silvers, but they grew up as assassins man. Drone soldiers on the SPectrum and with chopstick biceps.
