For those of you who may have missed the announcement, the Trump Administration has awarded Palantir an unprecedented contract to create a vast, new government data platform tying together everyone’s private records:
Palantir to create vast federal data platform that connects millions of Americans’ private records under a powerful AI system. Backed by the Trump administration, Palantir’s new deal links Social Security, IRS, and immigration data into one centralized system. It uses its Gotham software to flag fraud, track behavior, and potentially shape government decisions. While Palantir stock jumped 5.38% after the news, privacy advocates are raising concerns about surveillance and misuse.
Palantir, one of whose founders (Peter Thiel) is responsible for creating J.D. Vance, is credibly described as the “world’s most dangerous software company”. Palantir is the go-to company for what the intel industry refers to as “mining” – collating and analyzing digital data information for American and Israeli intelligence and law enforcement agencies. In the United States, police departments from southern California to Boston use Palantir to track all sorts of people. Palantir has even worked with Beijing to track Chinese citizens. Since 2024, Palantir has been working directly with the Israeli military on their campaign of so-called “targeted killings”. Palantir has been using social media information from Meta and other firms, as well as mobile phone data, to track people the IDF can then target for assassination. Experts estimate tens of thousands of people have been killed in this Palantir-enabled campaign, including innocent journalists.
Palantir co-founder Alex Karp often nonchalantly and publicly discusses the usefulness of his AI-driven product in facilitating the slaughter of human beings. Should MAGA just “trust the plan” that is putting Palantir at the center of all our personal data?
Imagine a platform that combines all your government data, financial data, real world movements, texts, call information, Web browsing history, and perhaps even your in-home conversations (Do your AI-powered devices ever stop listening?). Now imagine that platform in the hands of a regime that is dedicated to transforming the world into a digital prison. You are not afraid, you say? Because if you don’t do anything wrong, why would the government care about you?
Are you anti-Zionist? Then what stops them from hunting you down as an antisemite? The Trump Regime is already making the case that criticism of Israel is terrorism. Don’t like the tax code? Seditionist! Complain about Pride Month? Homophobe! Republish on your social media negative safety information about the latest mRNA vaccination? Misinformation spreader! Remember something important, just as in Orwell’s 1984, the goal is not to punish you for your CrimeThink. The goal is to so totally control every aspect of your life, internally and externally, that you are not even capable of formulating an unacceptable thought. The highest level of control is when citizens no longer even recognize they are being externally controlled – because fear and conditioning have thoroughly internalized the control matrix.
By the way, don’t expect state regulation to save us from the intrusiveness of AI. Not if the Trump Administration has its way. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act would ban states from regulating AI for 10 years, if it passes the Senate. We would encourage you to lobby your Senators, but they don’t care what you think so it would be a waste of your time.
If you want to truly see how vast the social engineering dreams of our elites really are, and how close we are to their realization, then we highly recommend the new documentary from Oracle films called, The Agenda: Their Vision – Your Future (2025). The official trailer is below. The full documentary will premiere on 6/4/2025 at 1900 (7 p.m.) BST on the Oracle Films YouTube channel. If you are reading this post after that date, go watch it now!
The documentary will feature, among other experts, Aman Jabbi – a Smart Cities subject matter expert and former Silicon Valley insider, who for years has been sounding the alarm of a coming mandatory Digital Identity and the rise of the American surveillance state. Orthodox Reflections has published excerpts from his work before.
As a final word, projects such as this documentary, and writings on sites such as Orthodox Reflections, are often criticized for not providing solutions to the dilemmas highlighted. There may not be any, to be honest, short of Jesus returning to save us all. However, if there are any viable solutions to be had, there are two preconditions for formulating and implementing them. Spreading the truth helps set those two preconditions.
Precondition 1 – We must abandon the political process as a solution. The Trump – Biden – Trump election cycles have been a blessing in opening people’s eyes to the sheer futility of “voting for change”. Trump made extravagant promises in 2024 about improving health care, reducing chronic illness, supporting vaccine freedom, ending foreign wars, balancing the budget, restoring free speech, enhancing privacy rights, and cutting government overreach. His bombastic style was part of the reason for his grandiose promises, but they were also necessary to convince his base that he was for real. If Trump had run the kind of tepid campaign Romney or McCain had run (easily describable as “Democrat lite”), he might well have lost. To get his voters to the polls, Trump had to throw them populist raw meat. Aside from the true MAGA cultists, the rest of Trump’s electoral base has already figured out that all those promises were just rhetoric to get their votes. No matter whom you vote for, you always get more of the same. So whatever the future solution is for us, assuming one even exists, the first step is to recognize the futility of voting in an oligarchical system where the real outcome is rigged well ahead of time.
Precondition 2 – Whatever energy you are expending on national politics would be better spent in scripture, prayer, fasting, attending liturgy, and reading the lives of the Saints. Our own personal holiness is something we can improve under even the most trying conditions. It is holiness that will enable us to survive as Christians, whether in a digital prison or even a physical one that our anti-government heresy lands us in.

MAGA base rocked by Trump’s ‘unnerving’ citizen database sparking surveillance fears
Will the help of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, the Trump administration has contracted Trump mega-donor Peter Thiel’s Palantir data analytics company to compile a database of the personal informations of American citizens, according to a report from The New York Times
https://www.irishstar.com/news/us-news/maga-base-rocked-trumps-unnerving-35332539
I forgot to mention this in my last comment. The article ends with “It is holiness that will enable us to survive as Christians …” when we read this, the emphasis should be on the word “Christians”, not on the word “survive”. In one of his videos, while he was still alive in the flesh, blessed Elder Ephraim of Arizona clarified why he founded so many monasteries in the US. He did it in preparation for the eschatological times, the last days, when Christians would be persecuted. These Orthodox monasteries are not meant to help us survive physically, but spiritually, as Christians. In other words, they are meant to help us prepare for martyrdom. Glory to God!
I like Precondition 2. The only way to change the world for the better is to change ourselves first. This is what the monastics do, but you don’t have to become a monastic to do it. At the end of the day, God is in control.
I do have a question though. For something like Palantir to work, does the populace have to accept the digital ID card, or does Palantir take over “while we sleep? “
Frankly, RFK declaring antisemitism to be a public health threat gave me a huge ego boost. I’m a threat to public health! Like the rap group Public Enemy. I feel like a gangster.
