Orwell's Nightmare Arrives: Palantir Powers National Database of Citizens and What to Do About It

from Colonial Outcasts · host Colonial Outcasts

Hello and Welcome to Colonial Outcasts, the anti-imperialist podcast that your MAGA uncle might hate less today than he did yesterday, as that entire cult of personality is fragmenting yet again with the advent of this new Palantir deal to create a national database that is unprecedented in our history. It will include:- Tax filings- Student Debt- Social Security- Bank Accounts- Medical Claims- Immigration statusNo previous database system has ever centralized this much personal info across various federal agencies. If you, like me, are a critic of China’s social credit system (totally valid to disagree with me), just know that in the Hands of Palantir, a data analysis company founded in 2003, partially backed by the CIA's venture capital arm, In-Q-Tel, the new American edition is going to be so much more repressive and targeted.

Juggalo News Presents: The Carnival Grounds with Madd Maxxx and Reverend Television Maximillian Young What is a Juggalo? There's a lot of different answers to that question as it turns out, and most of them have the word "fuck" in them. The short answer is a hardcore fan of the Detroit Wicked Shit Rap duo the Insane Clown Posse, or as they are more colloquially known, ICP. The full answer, however, may surprise you.People have always assumed that Juggalos are mostly just a bunch of white trash losers who constantly act a fool and do tons of drugs at concerts and their annual festival, The Gathering of the Juggalos. Those people are correct. If you can get past the grit and grime though, you'll be made privy to a world you might have never though possible. Juggalo Culture is a very real and deeply hallowed thing to hundreds of thousands of American men, women and children, if not millions of people the world over. We're looked at as outcasts, and that might be true, but for all of our obsession with Axes, facepaint, and cheap soda pop there is a tangible and powerful energy at the core Explicit
