Behind the scenes of the dark giant: Palantir - how digital Big Brother was born and why he has us all in his grip

A former employee of technology company Palantir reveals the shocking behind-the-scenes of its operations. A company that presents itself as a tool for a safer world is actually profiting from chaos, war and fear. With billions in government contracts and enormous power over the data of millions of people, Palantir becomes an invisible puppet master that can change reality at will.

Former insider breaks silence

A former Palantir employee has decided to speak out and warns of what really lies behind the technology firm's glossy facade. "It's not easy to criticize a former employer, but criticizing a company that owns deadly technology and invasive surveillance systems used in war zones is in a whole different league," says the whistleblower.

Founded by billionaire Peter Thiel, Palantir presents itself as a revolutionary tool for governments and large institutions. But according to a former employee, it is actually profiting from fear, chaos and war - and its software is being used not only to analyse data, but to influence reality itself. The company has had contracts with the Department of Defense, the FBI, ICE, financial authorities, even the Wendy's chain. And now there's talk of working with DOGE.

A weapon that changes reality

Palantir is not just a data processing software. It's a kill chain - a technology that connects tracking, targeting and destroying targets faster than any general could. The firm boasts that its artificial intelligence can "predict the future" and reshape reality to suit clients' needs.

From the FBI, the CIA, the Pentagon, to Israeli military operations in Gaza, Palantir is there - and deciding who lives and who dies. Founder Alex Karp admits it himself: "Our products are built for danger, for war. That's why we're the best."

Who's paying? All of us

In 2024, the company made nearly $3 billion, more than half out of the pockets of American taxpayers. Contracts with the Departments of Defense, Treasury, Health Care, and the IRS give Palantir control over vast amounts of personal data on millions of people. Now the next step is in the works: a unified government API that would allow Palantir to have one dashboard for all data on every citizen - from medical records to financial transactions. It's not just a business anymore. It's power over reality.

"Technology instead of politics"

Peter Thiel, the co-founder, said it quite openly back in 2010:

"We cannot change the world with politics. But technology will allow us to change the world unilaterally, without having to ask anyone." And change is already happening. Government decisions, war operations, health care, or tax audits - everywhere Palantir stands like an invisible puppeteer pulling the strings.

And now the best part: Palantir loves it when you hate it.

Alex Karp is not afraid of controversy, but rather uses it as advertising: 'Whatever annoys them, they will still buy our product.' This is not just a story about another big IT company. This is the story of a tech giant reshaping the world according to its own vision and holding the keys to governments, wars and our personal lives.
