The Theory Of Palantir: How Billionaires Plan To Own America. Alex Karp, the CEO of Palantir, wrote a book. It’s sold as a worried love letter to the West. It’s actually a blueprint for a takeover and handing the billionaire class permanent control of the American empire. He barely hides it. So I read every page. This is the theory behind the machine. Here’s what’s inside 👇 ⛓️ Segments — The Man Who Built The Palantir Machine. — Billionaire Kings Should Rule Americans — Technofascism, with footnotes. — Meet The Palantir Network Already Running Government. — How Your Daily Life Is Affected. — Why Does Karp Praise Germany So Much? — Who’s The Real Enemy Of The Billionaires? — Operation Paperclip 2.0: Our Military Is Absorbing Israel — How To Take Control Of Our Futures Again.
