Peter Thiels' company, Palantir Technologies, has been in the market of serving government agencies for quite some time, along with other corporations.
His company is said to have worked for many years already, in order to try and help the government boost their global dragnet spying capabilities that the NSA engages in.
The company itself is also alleged to have been co-created with the help of American spies, and it was founded back in 2004.
The CIA itself was even one of the early investors in the startup, via its capital venture branch In-Q-Tel.
The company has garnered hundreds of millions in government contracts, according to some estimates; we don't know how much specifically. The company has also been valued overall in the area of $20 billion.
Two of their main products are Palantir Gotham (which used to be called 'Palantir Government' and Palantir Metropolis. These programs are able to engage in quantitative analysis for hedge funds and banks, as well as helping to collect and sift through data for intelligence purposes.
Their program is flexible and has the power to be fluid, in accommodating a variety of requirements, rather than just being limited to carrying out one single action.
Co-founder Alex Karp, has previously taken a stand against government surveillance in the past. He's previously insinuated that he believes that we all need places which are protected away from the prying eye of government, where we can be unique and interesting; safe to be ourselves. Thiel himself has also previously asserted that his programs aim to protect civil liberties while still helping to reduce terrorism in the world, it even says so on the website. Heck, the company even formed a Council of Advisors on Privacy and Civil Liberties a few years back.
But Their Actions Tell A Different Story...
Thiel claims that he wants to protect civil liberties, but his actions show him putting in a lot of effort into helping the government increase their spying capabilities. And these spying programs by the NSA have repeatedly been deemed illegal by various courts and legal experts etc.
We know that Thiel himself values privacy, and he has demonstrated that by engaging with some of the most powerful leaders in the world, in secret, on the top of a mountain at a Bilderberg meeting etc.
Thiel clearly values his privacy, yet he pours effort into seemingly eroding privacy for the rest of us. But we shouldn't be worried, because the website for the company promises that they support both privacy and civil liberties. But for now, those are just words, and their actions are telling a different story, when Palantir is alleged to have helped the NSA expand and accelerate their unconstitutional phising expedition.
This relationship between Thiel's company and government spy agencies is said to have been going on for several years. Documents have also revealed that at least 3 nations in the Five Eyes collective, have employed the use of Palantir in order to gather or process data.
Crony Capitalism At Its Finest
Palantir is allegedly what enables governments to understand and be able to make sense of all the data that they collect, it helps them to sort through it. It's hard to imagine anyone who truly values civil liberties and privacy for all, to ever be assisting and helping these agencies in any way.
Thiel's company looks to have been funded by the CIA/spies, built in collaboration with spies, and is being praised by spy agencies/governments who use it. And how can one promote civil liberties on the one hand, while supporting and promoting privacy-breaching software on the other?
There isn't much in detail that is known about the company and their clients, because it's clear that while they are allegedly hard at work helping various agencies conduct their spying, that they themselves truly value their own privacy. However, it has been previously alleged that their clients include agencies like: CIA, FBI, DHS, NSA, and more. It also isn't just spy agencies working with them either, some of their other clients are or have been companies like Home Depot, Coca-Cola, and American Express.
