Targeting Palantir And Nvidia: Profits, Prophets And Overvalued AI Stocks

https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL2511/S00012/targeting-palantir-and-nvidia-profits-prophets-and-overvalued-ai-stocks.htm

In April this year, 404 Media revealed that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had paid the company millions of dollars to modify the ICE database to enable it to “complete target analysis of known populations” and spruce up the targeting of that tool and enforcement priorities. The database gives ICM agents the means to sort individuals using hundreds of specific categories covering physical attributes, administrative background and mobility. ICE Director Todd Lyons has fantasies of running the agency’s crude, clumsy deportation policy “like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings” in an effort to treat the matter “like a business”.

This charming dystopian thought is a good pairing with the sinister propaganda Palantir enjoys promoting, including a campaign on college campuses that echoes the stirrings of a Nuremberg rally cry: “Our culture has fallen into shallow consumerism while abandoning national purpose. Too few in Silicon Valley have asked what ought to be built – and why.” Palantir, to that end, was built to conquer such flabby complacency. “On the factory floor, in the operating room, across the battlefield – we build to dominate.”

New Landfall spyware apparently targeting Samsung phones in Middle East

Landfall is embedded in malicious DNG image files that seem to have been sent via WhatsApp, although there is no indication of any new vulnerability with that messaging platform. WhatsApp has been fighting spyware on another front, in a ground-breaking legal battle against leading spyware vendor NSO Group.

It doesn’t appear to require any interaction with victims, a kind of exploit called “zero-click.” Once it infects a phone, Landfall has the kind of sweeping surveillance capabilities found in spyware sold by industry vendors, capable of activating microphone recording or collecting photos and contacts.

World doesn’t need Congress of Vienna 2.0–it needs statesmen

American liberal internationalism, Chinese authoritarianism with “socialist characteristics,” Russian civilizational nationalism, and Indian strategic autonomy represent incompatible visions of domestic and international order. There is no shared ideology to suppress, and no common understanding of what constitutes legitimate governance.

US intel found Israeli military lawyers warned there was evidence of Gaza war crimes

The previously unreported intelligence, described by the former officials as among the most startling shared with top US policymakers during the war, pointed to doubts within the Israeli military about the legality of its tactics that contrasted sharply with Israel’s public stance defending its actions.

‘Shameful’: Fury as neo-Nazis rally outside NSW parliament

NSW Police revealed the demonstration had actually been allowed – with the state’s top cop admitting there had been a communication “breakdown” between police and the government over the rally.

More than 60 members of the neo-Nazi organisation, known as the Nationalist Socialist Network (NSN), demonstrated outside parliament shortly before 10am on Saturday, holding a large sign reading “Abolish the Jewish lobby”.

Dressed in dark clothing and sunglasses, the members chanted slogans used by the Hitler Youth.

British fascists ‘trained by American white supremacists’

Vanguard Britannica’s engagement with the Patriot Front will fuel fears that the British group could bring the extreme tactics used by American neo-Nazis to streets of UK cities, including flash demonstrations that incorporate smoke bombs, flares and anti-Semitic chants.

Last July, masked members of the Patriot Front descended on the streets of Nashville, Tennessee, while holding American flags and chanting “Sieg Heil”. Members are also required to engage in weekly on-the-ground activism or face expulsion.

The group has previously blamed Jews for the migrant crisis and called for Britain to be free from “Jewish usury, media control, and non-white immigration”.

The Deputies Who Tortured a Mississippi County

For nearly two decades, the deputies roamed Rankin County at night, beating, tasing, and choking suspects in drug crimes until they admitted to buying or selling illegal substances. Their reign of terror continued unabated until 2023, when the deputies were finally exposed.

“Rankin County has always been notorious,” says Garry Curro, one the Goon Squad’s many alleged victims. “They don’t follow the laws of the land. They make their own laws.”

Epstein helped broker Israeli intelligence projects in Africa: Documents

The leaked emails and Epstein’s personal schedules show the financier acting as a key intermediary between Barak and Ivorian leaders in 2012 and 2013, facilitating meetings, smoothing negotiations, and pushing forward Israeli security proposals, as reported by Drop Site on Friday.

Epstein’s communications reveal his enthusiasm for monetizing regional turmoil. “With civil unrest exploding […] and the desperation of those in power, isn’t this perfect for you,” he wrote to Barak.

The former Israeli premier replied: “You’re right [in] a way. But not simple to transform it into a cash flow.”

That “cash flow,” according to the documents, took the form of Israeli surveillance contracts and intelligence-sharing agreements with the Ivorian government.
