THE LIVESTREAM - JD Vance, Palantir, and Peter Thiel: Are We Still Trusting The Plan?

First generation warfare is fought with sticks and stones. Brute force, kinetic damage, and show of force. Second and third generation warfare is fought with attrition, logistics, blitzkrieg, and disruption. In Afghanistan and Iraq we fought fourth generation warfare: insurgency, terrorism, and psychological operations. With each successive generation, the lines between combatants and non-combatants blur, direct attrition becomes rarer, and tricks of deception and misdirection become all the more important.

Today, we are in a 5th generation war: a war of information. Cybernetic tools such as AI, analytics, and information systems manipulate narratives, public perception, and sow discord. The line between the real and the artificial blurs, and entire battles are won without kinetic force. Information is the new oil, and the battlefield is everywhere and anywhere.

Imagine if you viewed the ascendant right—from mainstream figures like Auron MacIntyre and Candace Owens to the outskirts like Nick Fuentes and Dan Bilzerian—as an existential threat to your democratic project. You need to get ahead of it, fast. But the censorship you enjoyed during COVID is pretty much done thanks to Elon Musk, and their narratives and cause are picking up steam.

You could attempt to run containment manually and hire thousands of agents to identify threats and shut them down. But if the IRS’s track record is any indication, it's a tough job—even hunting down unpaid taxes—with a $14 billion budget and 33 district offices. You need something better, faster, and more discrete.

If we are in the 5th generation warfare, how about a private company focused on deep analytics and intelligence augmentation? And say this company had existing contracts with the CIA, DHS, NSA, the FBI, and a dozen other government agencies going back over a decade? And all the better if this company was founded by an ostensibly right-wing billionaire who personally bankrolled high-profile politicians now ascending into the highest positions in the land?

None of this is hypothetical. The company I’m describing is Palantir, named for the seeing stone in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. It was founded by billionaire Peter Thiel, the founder of PayPal. Thiel made JD Vance a household name through mentorship, his short venture capital career, and over $15 million invested in his Senate campaign. Thiel no longer runs Palantir. Instead, eccentric co-founder & CEO Alex Karp has turned it into a deadly tool in the Middle East and Europe for antiterrorism efforts. Palantir uses massive amounts of data to find pre-crime via patterns, surveillance, and artificial intelligence.

Today we are diving into this all-important relationship between JD Vance, Peter Thiel, Ohio Governor hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy, and the MAGA coalition. Can we still trust the plan?
