qwant news | Trump touted Palantir on Truth Social after buying the company's stock, records show AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. President Donald Trump bought shares of artificial‑intelligence software firm Palantir in early 2026, purchasing between roughly $247,000 and $630,000 of stock during the first quarter—seven trades in March alone totalling about $530,000—before publicly praising the company on his Truth Social platform, where he claimed Palantir’s tools had “great war‑fighting capabilities.” He later sold up to $5 million of Palantir shares on Feb. 10 and made additional sales over the next two weeks, while also acquiring sizable positions in other tech giants such as Nvidia, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, ServiceNow, Workday, Oracle and Broadcom. According to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, Trump’s investments are managed in fully discretionary, third‑party accounts that make all decisions independently, with the president and his organization having no role in selecting or approving individual trades.

The New Republic | Trump Has Made Bank Off Stocks From Companies With Federal Contracts by Edith Olmsted AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Donald Trump has reportedly profited from millions of dollars in stock trades involving tech firms and government contractors that benefit from federal contracts, including Nvidia, AMD, Palantir, and others, according to a financial disclosure cited by NOTUS. The filing shows he bought sizable positions in Nvidia in early February and January 2026—coinciding with the company’s AI chip deals with Meta and subsequent approvals for sales to China—while also purchasing AMD stock that was later cleared for Chinese customers, and repeatedly buying and selling Palantir shares around large Department of Homeland Security contracts and his own public calls for investors to buy the stock. In the first quarter of 2026, Trump shifted from bonds to more than 3,600 individual trades, prompting the White House to claim his family was unaware of the transactions, a stance critics denounce as blatant corruption and market manipulation by the president who oversees the very agencies awarding these contracts.

Germany snubs #Palantir, chooses French supplier for internal intelligence agency In all seriousness, choosing Palantir, funded by antidemocratic billionaires to defend German democracy would have been madness. #digitalsovereignty https://www.dw.com/en/german-intelligence-offices-snub-us-based-palantir-software/a-77160897

qwant news | The Neo-Nazi Enforcer Who Helped Build Peter Thiel’s Online Influence Empire AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Barrett Brown’s article uncovers how a loose network of far‑right actors—centered on neo‑Nazi hacker Andrew “Weev” Auernheimer and funded in part by Peter Thiel’s Palantir‑linked ventures—helped forge the online influence empire that now shapes mainstream politics. The piece traces the evolution of “memetic warfare,” a term coined by Jeff Giesea, who together with extremist Charles C. Johnson drafted a NATO‑affiliated paper detailing disinformation, sock‑puppet accounts, and harassment tactics that were first tested on white‑supremacist sites like the Daily Stormer. Leaked HBGary documents reveal that similar tactics were originally devised to attack unions, journalists, and left‑wing activists, with Palantir’s involvement later confirmed through Auernheimer’s connections to Thiel. Over a decade, these methods migrated from fringe image‑boards (4chan, 8chan) into organized campaigns such as GamerGate and QAnon, bolstered by funding from Thiel‑aligned investors and even Epstein‑linked figures, culminating in a coordinated digital “army” that blends extremist harassment with elite strategic discourse.

PBS NewsHour - The Latest | Zelenskyy's ex-chief of staff a suspect in a money-laundering probe, Ukraine officials say by Hanna Arhirova, Associated Press AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Ukraine’s anti‑corruption agencies have named former presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak as an official suspect in a 460‑million‑hryvnia (about $10.5 million) money‑laundering scheme, though he has not yet been formally charged and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is said to be uninvolved. The investigation, which also implicates other senior officials and a prominent businessman and touches the energy, defence and drone‑procurement sectors, is a political blow to Zelenskyy as Kyiv pursues EU membership. Yermak’s lawyer called the allegations groundless, while Zelenskyy, after meeting Palantir Technologies CEO Alex Karp, highlighted ongoing U.S.‑Ukrainian defence cooperation and AI initiatives. Meanwhile, Russia resumed large‑scale drone strikes on Ukraine following the end of a brief U.S.‑brokered ceasefire, prompting Kyiv to seek an extension of the pause in hostilities.

A question for those of you who are savvy: Is there an European SUPL? If not, why not? It seems that even the major mobile operators redirect to Google, which then has access not only to SIM card information, but also exact location of all the mobile devices in the world. If this is the case, why isn't the EU ahead of the game? Any observatory with a server could do this simple job. #FOSS #opensource #palantir #google #Linux #android #AOSP #masssurveillance #EU

Novara Media | Coventry Council Renews £750k Palantir Deal by Tom Midlane AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Covmouth City Council has extended its partnership with AI firm Palantir, signing a £750,000 contract to continue a pilot in the children’s services department despite strong opposition from councillors, trade unions and several MPs who raise ethical concerns about the company's work with the Israeli military and U.S. Immigration‑Customs Enforcement; while critics argue that outsourcing decisions about vulnerable children to a surveillance‑focused firm undermines democratic accountability, the council claims the system has cut administrative burdens, freed up social workers’ time, and includes strict safeguards that prevent data sharing or automated decision‑making, insisting that AI merely supports staff rather than replaces professional judgment.

qwant news | Exclusive | Palantir's Alex Karp is assembling a $75M compound in Miami Beach -- after shelling out $28.5M for a waterfront teardown AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Billionaire Palantir CEO Alex Karp is assembling a $75 million waterfront compound in Miami Beach, securing 265 feet of water frontage across two adjacent properties: a $28.5 million teardown at 29 East San Marino Drive on the Venetian Islands, which includes a 1935 bungalow, pool and dock on a third‑of‑an‑acre lot with 105 feet of frontage, and a nearby parcel he bought last summer for $46 million at 55 East San Marino Drive. Both acquisitions were made through anonymous shell companies and brokered by Joel Lusky of Brokerage South Florida Real Estate, and Karp plans to combine them into a single, expansive compound. The purchases coincide with Palantir’s recent relocation of its headquarters from Denver to Aventura, Florida, and reflect a broader trend of tech billionaires—including Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page and Sergey Brin—investing heavily in luxury Miami‑area real estate.

Palantir – ein US-Konzern, der sein Geld mit Überwachungs-, Militär- und Datenanalysesoftware verdient – drängt immer stärker in deutsche Behörden und kritische Strukturen. Das ist kein neutrales Technologieangebot, sondern eine Abhängigkeit mit System. Wer einmal drin ist, kommt so schnell nicht mehr raus – und genau das ist Teil des Geschäftsmodells. Mein Appell: Seid kritisch. Sprecht darüber. Konfrontiert andere damit. Und wo immer Palantir auftaucht: engagiert euch dagegen. Die Abhängigkeit muss nicht nur gestoppt, sie muss auf null zurückgefahren werden. #Palantir #Surveillance #DigitaleSelbstbestimmung #Datenschutz

I really, really like #metazooa . It's such a beautiful game. Surely the makers of it aren't fans of fascists. https://blog.trainwrecklabs.com/p/palantir-bridges-the-gap-between-middle-earth-and-silicon-valley Oh well. A glowing recommendation of #PeterThiel and his companies and products. For NO REASON. Do not play this game. Do not use any of this company's games. Boycott their sites. Fans of Nazis are bad people. #Antifa #Palantir

English – The Conversation | Supervillain or Cicero? Why Palantir’s manifesto has such sinister vibes by Daniel Baldino, Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Relations, University of Notre Dame Australia AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Palantir’s recent manifesto, distilled from CEO Alex Karp’s book *The Technological Republic*, frames a hierarchy of civilizations, denounces pluralism, and argues that democratic societies must rely on “hard power” – not just military force but the AI‑driven technologies that shape its use – even calling for compulsory military service and AI‑powered weapons. Critics liken the rhetoric to a comic‑book supervillain’s grandiose monologue, while also noting its classical‑Cicero‑like appeal to civic duty and civilizational survival, suggesting the company is positioning itself as a moral arbiter rather than a mere technology provider. By embedding its tools in defence, intelligence and policing systems worldwide, Palantir is not only selling software but also shaping a geopolitical narrative that normalises the concentration of power beyond democratic accountability, manufacturing a sense of inevitability that narrows public debate about the acceptable limits of state and corporate authority.

I love how the #FSF unerringly comes out in support against anyone trying to reduce the harm software is used for and maybe not hand it to murderers. "It's only free if you don't try to stop anyone else from using it to kill people via the license terms" is the most US take *ever*. (Not that OSI is different.) That's how you end up with #Palantir as a major FOSS sponsor, I guess. https://www.fsf.org/blogs/licensing/rail-are-nonfree-and-unethical #OpenSource #FreeSoftware
