Expansion Of The Surveillance State
By Karen Schumacher
It has long been known that the fuel for artificial intelligence (AI) and the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4thIR) is data, the “Implementation of data interoperability by ever expanding collaboration of public and private entities, trade associations and regulatory bodies.” In spite of the promises of putting America first, the country is being taken down the slide for technocratic dictatorship.
President Trump has incrementally been expanding his administration with not only the private sector, but with technologies that will undermine the whole concept of being a Republic.
In March, 2025, he signed an Executive Order (EO) that orders the sharing of data between federal agencies. This came about as a result of the work by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) updating government computer systems for interoperability, and other malicious activities. Now, all government data on Americans became accessible to anyone in the government. Even worse though, now with his Stargate proposal for data centers, all that is needed to surveil Americans more thoroughly is more data.
Palantir, co-founded by Peter Thiel, has been tapped by Trump to consolidate all data held by federal agencies on Americans through contracts with a hefty price tag. As a result of this lucrative, crony capitalism partnership, Palantir is raking in the dough. No doubt, that data can also be shared with other World Economic Forum (WEF) corporations.
Palantir’s reputation isn’t the best when it comes to consolidating data. NHS England manages all the health services for the country. In 2023, Palantir and NHS contracted to develop a patient data platform. However, there have been concerns that data was shared with Palantir. Since that was exposed, calls for the contract to be canceled have been made. However, the damage has been done. With Trump calling for Palantir to consolidate data on Americans, there should be similar concerns that data will be nefariously used by Palantir.
WEF states it best, “Most importantly, the fourth industrial revolution will demand a new way of thinking about individuals. Indeed, rethinking the central importance of the individual is fundamental. We may have to accept a trade-off where we sacrifice some aspects of personal privacy – within carefully agreed parameters – in order to benefit from the collective gains of our data.” In truth, all personal privacy will be sacrificed. Data is how the social credit scoring system works in China, the WEF recognizing China for its achievements.
This is a global trajectory, being led by malicious individuals from across the world in groups that have decided humanity’s fate.
