US Attacks in Venezuela and Greenland Lay Groundwork for Billionaire Fiefdoms

Trump’s foreign interventions may pave the way for techno-fascist city-states to seize sovereignty.

On January 3, 2026, Tim Stern, a German investor, was sleeping peacefully at his Venezuela residence when the phone on his small bedside table suddenly went wild. As he explained to Timothy Allen of the “Free Cities Podcast,” calls streamed in immediately after news broke that the United States had bombed Caracas in the early hours of the morning. Within hours, it was clear that Venezuelan…

What is #Palantir? And why is this corporation so dangerous?

The company conducts #MassSurveillance in the service of #StateViolence, from #ICE’s #deportation machine to the #genocide in #Gaza.

By Kenny Morris, Feb 11, 2026

" #PeterThiel is a central co-founder of Palantir. He is a #billionaire venture #capitalist, conservative libertarian, and an early investor in Facebook who made much of his money from founding PayPal. According to Theil, 'I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.

[...]

How can we stop Palantir?

" #AFSC has joined a collective of #ImmigrantRights groups, #PalestineSolidarity organizations, #EnvironmentalJustice advocates, #LaborUnions, and many others working to hold Palantir accountable and stop its expansion into our lives. You can join us by finding or organizing a local group to pressure our universities, hospitals, and other institutions to cut all ties to Palantir.

"Visit our #PurgePalantir campaign page to:

- Contact the leadership of hospitals, universities, and other corporations using Palantir to urge them to #divest from the company.
- Find a map of Palantir offices, some of its corporate clients, and elected officials who have received money from Palantir. Use it to find where the company is in your community and plan an action to challenge it.
- Are you a health care worker? You can join organized nurses and doctors across the U.S. pushing the surveillance company out of our hospitals [and the #NHS in the #UK].

"Learn more about the company and join the growing campaign to stand up to Palantir."

Die autoritären "Impulse" der deutschen Sozialdemokratie sind nicht erst seit der ehemaligen Innenministerin #NancyFaeser und ihrem Rechtspopulismus hinlänglich bekannt. Nun haben hochrangige #SPD Politiker*innen wieder solche "Impulse" zu Papier gebracht und fordern Ausweispflichten im Internet, Social-Media-Verbote und indirekte Klarnamenpflichten.

Was sie vorausschaubar und weder originell noch konsistent mit "Jugendschutz" begründen, ist ein weiterer Versuch, einen Identifizierungszwang durch "Digitale Identitäten" wie das #EUDI-Wallet durchzusetzen. Dies folgt viel mehr den Interessen staatlicher Sicherheitspolitik, um alle Nutzenden des Internets überwachen und kontrollieren zu können, sowie den profitgelenkten Interessen des #Überwachungskapitalismus durch Datensammlung und Profilgenerierung.

"Digitale Identitäten" und der direkte oder indirekte Zwang zu ihrer Nutzung sind dafür ein zentrales Instrument.

Während auch Politiker*innen anderer rechter Parteien wie die Grünen und die #CDU Social-Media-Verbote fordern, arbeitet auch die #EU an Alterskontrollen für das Internet.

SPD-Politiker*innen fordern Ausweispflicht oder Netzsperren

Wichtige SPD-Politiker*innen verlangen ein Social-Media-Verbot bis 14 Jahre. Alle Nutzer*innen ab 16 Jahren sollen sich ausweisen, widerspenstigen Unternehmen drohen Netzsperren. Was hat der Vorstoß zu bedeuten? Die Analyse.

Das Chat- und Messengerprogramm #Discord kündigte ab März die globale Einführung von #Altersverifikationen per# KI, Gesichtserkennung und/oder Ausweisscan an.

Hierfür greift Discord auf die Dienste des Unternehmens "Persona" zurück, welches Verbindung zu #Palantir, dem rechten Tech-Oligarchen #PeterThiel und dessen 'Heritage Foundation' hat. Thiels Rolle in den Epstein-Leaks lässt auf weitere machtpolitische Interessen der Überwachungsindustrie schließen.

Freie und anonyme Kommunikation sollte allen Menschen offen stehen und ist für Whistleblower*innen, Journalist*innen und bedrohte Minderheiten besonders wichtig, die mit dem Vorgehen autoritärer Politiker*innen und Konzerne und der Einführung von "digitalen Identitäten" ganz aktiv bedroht werden.

Discord's age verification rollout has ties to Palantir co-founder and panopticon architect Peter Thiel

Discord is "experimenting" with an age authentication vendor whosez major investors include Thiel's Founders Fund.

‚Last week, #Discord invited the contempt of its users by announcing it will be rolling out global #ageverification restrictions in March, which will restrict viewable content and communities for users who don't scan either their faces or government IDs and haven't already been determined to be an adult by unspecified prediction algorithms. Approximately nobody thought this was cool.…‘
