Yeah.

Is that why they did that?

I think so.

That's fucking really smart.

It's crazy.

So this is what's weird is that Teal's over here talking about, you know, warning about global surveillance and control and these systems that will exploit your fear in order to take away your freedom.

And then he's also the chairman of Palantir.

And in early 2026, Palantir was awarded new ICE contracts for deportation cases.

And Palantir literally describes itself as an operating system for the modern government.

So, I mean, that's like straight up from like the investor presentations and that's the language that they're using.

Yeah.

So every new crisis, terrorism, you know, pandemics, border patrol crossings, it drives more government demand for Palantir and its tools.

Now, Palantir also has a robust political network.

They were a major donor to Trump and contributed not only to the 2016 campaign, but to many other campaigns along the way.

Relationship with J.D.

Vance.

They were an early backer of Vance's Senate campaign, longtime mentor, and literally Teal introduced J.D.

Vance to the Girardian philosophy and has given him career and financial support.

Now, David Sachs, former PayPal colleague, appointed chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

So, you're seeing the connection here?
