Palantir’s AI surveillance platform makes China’s Social Credit Score System look innocent by comparison, according to a former company insider who is now warning that the United States is quietly handing over unprecedented control of its citizens’ data to a private defense contractor with links to Bilderberg and the World Economic Forum.

“This is not Communist China. It is the United States of America, the so-called ‘Land of the Free,’ and her citizens are being contracted out to a private entity. That’s the part that should terrify all of us,” said Juan Sebastian Pinto, a former Palantir employee who helped market the company’s battlefield and surveillance technologies.

Pinto, who worked on the very platforms now being deployed to surveil and control American citizens, said he left the company after realizing the full scope of its ambitions.

Among the tools he helped promote were AI-driven “kill chains”—systems designed to automatically identify and eliminate targets using massive amounts of real-time data.

Those same tools, he warns, are now being integrated into domestic agencies like the Department of Homeland Security, the CDC, and the IRS to create a system designed to achieve globalist ambitions of an American social credit score system.

“I simply cannot live in a world where my grandchildren have to be processed through a database where their everyday activities, including social media posts as citizens, are tracked, collected, and used for an authoritarian government’s policing database,” Pinto told NPR.

“As a former employee, I’m not even sure about my personal safety in regards to speaking out.”

We are entering the realm of what some have called, “a digital concentration camp”, far deadlier than the three members of the Axis of Evil, United Nations Agenda 21/30 with their smart growth, 15-minute cities and Wildlands Project,  more lethal than the World Health Organization and the World Economic Forum.

Palantir’s sprawling Foundry software connects and analyzes data from nearly every federal agency. This includes health records, financial filings, law enforcement databases, intelligence reports, and even social media behavior. The shift to this centralized surveillance model was formalized through Executive Order 14243, signed by President Trump in March 2025, requiring all government departments to share their internal databases in a single, unified platform—one powered by Palantir.

The order was framed as an effort to eliminate inefficiency and fraud in government. But critics say it has created a privatized, digital panopticon with no public oversight or accountability.

A Kill Switch for US Sovereignty?

Palantir’s co-founder and CEO Alex Karp is also a member of the Bilderberg Steering Committee and the World Economic Forum in Davos. He has not been shy about the company’s power.

“Palantir is here to disrupt and make our – the institutions we partner with – the very best in the world and, when it’s necessary, to scare our enemies and, on occasion, kill them,” Karp said in a 2023 NPR interview.

The term “kill chain” traditionally refers to the military process of identifying, tracking, and eliminating targets. With AI, this process becomes nearly instantaneous—and increasingly opaque. Palantir’s technology can now analyze behavioral patterns, predict actions, and automate targeting decisions. What was once limited to warzones is now embedded in domestic systems.

“This is the digital monster Orwell warned us about,” Pinto said. “Big Brother is not a government—it’s a private company with access to everything.”

The U.S. Army’s relationship with tech firms is also evolving in unsettling ways. In a largely unnoticed move, four Silicon Valley executives were recently commissioned as lieutenant colonels—without prior military experience. Among them: Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar, Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth, and two former OpenAI executives.

The move reflects what some describe as a full merger of military and corporate AI power. These tech leaders now have direct access to sensitive military planning, while maintaining leadership positions in firms that profit from those very relationships.

No Oversight. No Audits. No Exit.

Palantir’s rapid expansion has drawn comparisons to the “Total Information Awareness” program scrapped in 2003 over public backlash. But unlike that failed DARPA initiative, Palantir operates under layers of privatized secrecy. There are no transparency requirements for how federal agencies use its tools. No civilian audits. And no meaningful way for citizens to know what data is being used—or how.

Palantir currently earns over $3 billion annually from government and corporate clients. Its systems have reportedly helped rescue trafficking victims, disrupt cartel networks, and streamline bureaucratic inefficiencies. It is also used by the Israeli Defense Forces to target enemies in Gaza, and by ICE to track migrant movements in real time.

But as Pinto warns, good intentions today don’t guarantee ethical use tomorrow.

“Our world is fundamentally changing,” he said. “It’s morphing into a monstrous system of surveillance, manipulation, and mental enslavement. We’ve already lost control over AI. The transformation is here—and it’s something far more sinister.”

ffPalantir doesn’t need to overthrow governments—it seeks to run them from the inside. As the invisible architect behind federal operations, it shapes decisions, influences policies, and sets the conditions for action. All without public knowledge or consent.

Once touted as a guardian of national security, Palantir has quietly become the operating system of the state. And if Pinto’s warnings are correct, it is building a world in which freedom becomes conditional, privacy is obsolete, and dissent can be flagged—and eliminated—by an algorithm.

Palantir’s AI “kill chains” may have been built for battlefields, but now, all of America is wired into the system. The question is no longer if this technology will be used against citizens—but when.
