RT reported back on April 21 that Palantir had published a “Manifesto.” “American surveillance tech contractor Palantir released a 22-point manifesto over the weekend, calling for a ‘new era’ of AI-enabled US military supremacy. The internet went wild, with the text being labeled a blueprint for ‘technofascism.’”
They report: “Palantir is currently valued at around $352 billion, a valuation that represents roughly 80 times the company’s annual revenue. This apparent overvaluation is fueled by Palantir’s extensive contracts with the US government and its alphabet soup of defense and intelligence agencies.” They note their contracts around the world and review the careers of executives Peter Thiel and Alex Karp, including Karp’s 2025 book, ‘The Technological Republic.’
The 22 points in the Manifesto include:
“The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.”
“The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.”
