Please don’t get distracted by performative politics.

You have to pay attention to what is happening behind the scenes, especially when something else sucks up all of the headlines.

I’ve been writing about the intersection of Big Ag and Big Data on my Substack, The Signal.

The USDA just signed a $300M deal with Palantir to centralize all farmer data.

That brings Palantir’s Government contracts to over $6 Billion.

The company was named after the all-seeing "palantíri" stones in The Lord of the Rings by Palantir’s founder Peter Thiel as a deliberate reference to the ability to "gaze across vast distances to track friends and foes.”

The new system they are implementing is called “One Farmer, One File,” and it will combine USDA records into one digital profile for each farmer.

It arrives one day after a watchdog sued five agencies over Palantir surveillance systems.

Food system consolidation has historically operated through the physical: four firms controlling 85% of beef packing, just a few controlling 60% of seeds, a highly consolidated grocery market, etc..

But now this means unprecedented informational consolidation: farm payments, acreage reporting, program access, and support all run through one private platform.

Palantir’s use case is very specific: turning fragmented data into actionable surveillance.

They now effectively monopolize the data for the entire food system meaning everything from policy, subsidy, and compliance will flow through their data.

This is why local, decentralized food systems are so important.

When we buy from centralized supplies, we lose choice.

Help support our local farmers and fight for a more sovereign food system.

Oh yeah... better not get those backyard chickens! Ridiculous...

BIOENGINEERED LAB-GROWN "MEAT" IS ALREADY IN STORES — AND THEY’RE HIDING IT FROM YOU!

Look for these words on the labels:
❌ “CELL CULTURED”
❌ “CELL CULTIVATED”
❌ “CULTURED MEAT” or “CULTIVATED MEAT”

If you see ANY of them — DO NOT BUY IT.

This is NOT natural meat from a farm animal.

This is BIOENGINEERED fake meat grown in giant lab vats from animal cells in the form of fetal bovine serum FBS. Never walked on grass. Never saw sunlight.

They’re using soft-sounding words to trick you.

Your family deserves REAL food, not lab experiments disguised as dinner.

Prohibition wasn’t about stopping people from drinking alcohol, it was about stopping farmers from creating their own fuel for their machines.

Making hemp illegal wasn't to keep people safe, it was to maintain the petroleum Monopoly.

Agenda 2030 in the Netherlands 🇳🇱⚠️

Step by step, hardy noticed by the majority, people are banned from the forests. Eventually their pets will have to be exterminated 'due to pollution'.

This is happening and people just don't see it..

War on pets.
War on farms.
War on water.
