A right geeky name they took for themselves.
Interestingly enough the palantir weren’t used in middle earth because they could never be entirely certain who was on the other end of the comm line.
That Intelligence expert, Maxine Waters, told us last month that Obama has a data base that can track everybody, so this is no surprise to those who listen to this voice of the Democrat Party.

Doesn’t have the right smell.

Like which groups to exterminate?
Hillary Clinton and Craig Livingstone were pikers with the FBI files compared to these people.
People are forgetting that this government has identified Tea Partiers, gun control advocates and other conservatives as “terrorists”. When we read that the phone spying efforts were aimed at rooting out terrorists and their networks, I do not think that the government thinks that “terrorist” means what we think it means. I think that they wanted to monitor US calling patterns to identify conservatives and their allies.
It's time to talk about this in an environment unclouded by the urgency of an active terrorist incident. Do we really want this? Does this constitute a little safety in whose pursuit freedom must sacrificed? OTOH, is a government that does not do this to protect its citizens from an outside threat shirking its responsibility?
This conversation was never really held, at least not in public as it is now, and a Congress and an Executive that only regard this sort of thing as another tool to be employed in the pursuit of political power are not honest brokers.
I wondered about the political contributions made by Palantir and discovered a mixed bag- Feinstein received a lot as did both repubs and dems for congress which I am guessing has more to do with who is on a committee that would benefit the company. Also the company had their own pac.
There was one contributor who caught my attention - a Jason Catlin. He donated $14,000 to DNC Services. Red flags abound. what were those DNC services? is this how the DNC paid for that database? Or was it something that Obama’s campaign team set up?
Just wondering.
How does Pokemon fit into this?
