US Law Enforcement Warns of ‘Anti-Tech Extremism’ as AI Hatred Grows
In this post, I mentioned "You don't cut 40,000 people off from their electricity unless you WANT an outcry against the new data centers." Now we are seeing clear signs: they DO want it. This is a brand new agenda: socially engineering a pushback against the AI takeover. And the FBI is already training for it — linking it even with Luigi Mangione:
"In the wake of attacks on CEOs, a nationwide protest movement targeting data centers, and increasing concerns about AI job replacement, federal intelligence agencies and domestic law enforcement are circulating reports with a new domestic target in mind: anti-technology extremists."
So, as data centers drain our aquifers and consume our resources, they are already pre-positioning to classify anyone who objects as "anti-technology extremist" terrorists.
"In California, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin, state and local police have removed or arrested speakers at town halls who criticize data centers, in one case before they were even allowed to speak. [...] This has led to protesters and activists being surveilled under domestic extremism provisions while being charged with crimes like criminal trespass and vandalism."
Reality is getting weirder...

US Law Enforcement Warns of ‘Anti-Tech Extremism’ as AI Hatred Grows
As Americans stew over the looming risk of job-stealing AI and data centers in their back yards, the feds are raising the alarm about a new category of threat, documents obtained by WIRED show.

🇮🇷🇺🇸| According to Iran’s national TV (IRIB):
Iran’s demands are:
• A permanent ceasefire
• US withdrawal from the region
• No interference in Iran
• Full sanctions relief
• Release of blocked funds
• +$300B in reconstruction compensation
• Control/management of maritime traffic.
In return, Iran would also take reciprocal steps.

Palantir Technologies worked as a technology contractor for the NSA from its earliest years. Snowden documents revealed that the company's software was built into the XKEYSCORE global interception program, enabling mass surveillance without warrants or judicial oversight for years.
By 2013, Palantir's classified client list included the NSA, FBI, Marine Corps, and US Air Force. The US Army later consolidated 75 contracts with the company into a single deal worth up to $10 bln.
In 2008, Palantir demonstrated its software to the British Government Communications Headquarters, the UK counterpart to the NSA. Internal GCHQ documents recorded analysts' reaction: "We were very impressed — it needs to be seen to be believed."
Palantir and the NSA jointly built a tool stamped with the company's logo for importing intercepted data into the Palantir interface. It allowed analysts to filter Gmail traffic and dump entire email domains onto intelligence servers without a warrant.
A 2008 NSA training presentation described the system as able to see "nearly everything a typical user does on the internet." The data included emails, chats, browser history, and webcam recordings, all searchable without prior authorization.
Palantir developed Kite for GCHQ — its source code survived almost entirely among Snowden's files. Kite processed dates, images, geolocations, and custom fields, connecting to third-party data stores.
GCHQ documents describe the creation of Palantir products as "iterative collaboration between Palantir computer scientists and analysts from various intelligence agencies over nearly three years." Intelligence agencies didn't just buy software — their staff helped design it.
The NSA's internal wiki contains references to "Palantir Classification Helper," "Target Knowledge Base to Palantir PXML," and "PalantirAuthService." Intellipedia pages on Palantir's use by Australian intelligence remain classified to this day.
XKEYSCORE Helper allowed analysts to investigate, visualize, and pass data to partners across the Five Eyes alliance. By 2010, at least three members of the alliance were using Palantir to process intercepted data.
Palantir was integrated into a joint NSA-GCHQ project to collect data directly from the global fiber-optic network. This allowed intelligence agencies to intercept traffic at the physical level of the internet's infrastructure.
From 2009 through 2025, Palantir's federal contracts grew from $4 mln to nearly $1 bln. The company's COO stated that Palantir is "inside every missile, inside every drone."
XKEYSCORE collects data on Americans "incidentally" while spying on foreigners. Under Section 702 of the FISA law, the NSA can share this data with the FBI and other agencies.
In 2021, the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board completed a five-year investigation into XKEYSCORE. Board member Travis LeBlanc stated that the NSA's analysis "lacks any analysis of modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence."
Alex Karp called Palantir "the worst technology for violating civil liberties" and denied working with the NSA. GCHQ documents and Intellipedia entries prove otherwise: the integration was deep and lasted for years.

And let's be honest, Iran as long as it cannot harm Israel, it has no leverage military wise.
Iran has leverage, most importantly by being able to threaten security of the Gulf Arabs and their puppet masters.
And the oil supply hubs of the region were not yet sufficiently targeted, presumably because Iran is keeping it for leverage in a worst-case scenario.
Even against Israel, Iran has some military leverage. In the last few days of the war, interception rates were falling rapidly due to degrading stockpiles. But then, it stopped, because it was decided to negotiate.
Iran just always stops right when the pressure on the enemy starts to kick in. Because some of the officials still have a delusional belief that diplomacy is possible. As long as this mindset prevails among the country’s elites (among them Araqchi, and yes, also Qalibaf), nothing will change.
I pray that the officials will at some point start to really listen to the words of Martyr Khamenei and the new Leader, his son, Sayyed Mojtaba.

🇺🇸🇮🇷Trump threatened to "wreck" Oman if it agreed to Iran's plan to take joint control of the Strait of Hormuz.
"The straits will be open to everyone, and no one will control them. We will monitor them. Oman will behave just like everyone else, otherwise we will have to destroy them," the US president said at a cabinet meeting in the White House.
The practical fact of the matter is that Trump has ZERO ability to enforce the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Zero. His words are simply nonsense talk.

Prediction: the war will being again shortly and the gulf states will be completely destroyed. If it continues longer, so will Israel...

🇮🇷⚡️- Earlier today, Iran fired warning shots at four vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, forcing them to turn back and retreat.
Note: This was a separate incident from the U.S. Navy and IRGC clashes that occurred hours later.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran’s industrial rally: South Pars hub restored to pre-war production levels
Engineering teams have successfully restored the South Pars industrial hub to full capacity after weeks of intensive repairs following damage from US‑Israeli strikes, Fars News Agency reports.
➡️ The hub is one of Iran’s most critical energy assets, supplying over 70% of the country's natural gas and 65% of its petrochemical feedstock
➡️ Engineers cleared debris, rebuilt damaged sections, and upgraded systems in less than one month
➡️ This rapid recovery eliminated any industrial bottlenecks caused by the attacks
➡️ All major supply lines are now up and running, with output brought back to pre‑war levels
➡️ The facility was last struck on April 6. Previous strikes in March had also damaged gas and petrochemical infrastructure along the corridor
The hub's restoration comes in parallel with the rebuilding of Iran's military capacity – much faster than expected – signaling Tehran's resilience to US pressure.
