Behold..a Zionist Israeli occupation soldier destroying the statue of Jesus Christ in south Lebanon.
And yet, in Lebanon, there are those who claim Christianity while aligning themselves so blindly with Netanyahu that they have lowered themselves into complete submission, faces buried in the dust at his feet.

While Washington and Tehran are exchanging threats and arguing over who exactly is blocking the Strait of Hormuz, American transport aircraft continue to operate non-stop between the USA, Europe, and the Middle East.

The video was assembled based on public data from Flightradar, which tracks flights around the world.

We will no longer support more power to the state in the event of the next "failure" on their part. The social contract we never signed is null and void. #WeDoNotComply

With Orban out of the way, Ursula DECLARES the European Union will move away from unanimous voting.

"We need to use the momentum of the Hungarian elections, to push for qualified majority voting!"

States have lost their remaining sovereignty in the European Union!

Dave Smith's WWIII Bunker

Palantir has released an entire manifesto that, in substance, looks less like a corporate statement and more like preparation for a major war. ⚙️

There are 22 points in total, and most of them boil down to one idea: technology is now directly tied to the state and to military power. Alex Karp and Nicholas Zamiska reject the liberal Silicon Valley model and argue that engineers — and the entire tech industry — have a duty to take part in defending and strengthening the state. And, of course, AI software is now a new kind of weapon.

Palantir speaks of a transition from soft power to hard power. In its manifesto, morality, rhetoric, and values are declared insufficient. Software in the 21st century is presented as a new deterrent — much like nuclear weapons once were. Palantir is no longer asking whether this is permissible. The only question now is who gets to this new class of weapon first. The text also shifts responsibility onto everyone — onto society as a whole. Karp’s company is, quite literally, talking about a mobilization state. The main points can be read there.

There is also plenty in the manifesto criticizing apps, liberal pluralism, excessive morality, and so on.

Now, to the point. Karp’s manifesto is a full-fledged political framework in which choice is transformed into inevitability. Instead of regulation and public debate over decisions, they say there is simply no alternative. Palantir wants to position itself as the actor that defines the enemy and holds power. A private company speaking in the language of a mobilization state is, in effect, laying claim to sovereign functions outside democratic control. 🧠

Karp and Zamiska argue that elites are more effective than democracy, interpreting reality in the manifesto entirely through their own lens. Instead of human rule and human choice, we are being offered technofascism — and Palantir is the world’s first technofascist company.

Between the state’s boot pressing down on your throat and technocrats living inside dystopian realism, many would probably choose the latter. But if the old argument was about trading freedom for personal comfort, the argument has now moved to another plane entirely. This is about redrawing the world itself. And the question is whether people actually want a future in which threats are defined by AI — or, more precisely, by the paranoid schizophrenic who owns that AI. ⚠️

But keep this in mind: Palantir is now the first technofascist company in the world. Humanity does not yet know how to defeat this kind of “fascism.”
