Jacob Thompson at The Winepress posted a Jan. 27 article and video that should chill every American to the bone regardless of where they fall on the political spectrum.
Watch as a heavily armed federal agent, his face masked, warns a U.S. citizen that by simply filming him, she is considered by her own government to be a “domestic terrorist.”

Who is assembling this government database on American citizens? It’s Palantir Technologies, co-founded by globalist technocrat Peter Thiel. Mr. Thiel, a multi-billionaire and major Trump donor, heads the steering committee of the elitist Bilderberg group and has talked openly of his desire to turn America into a techno-monarchy run by unelected oligarchs like himself.
Thompson reports:
DHS and ICE have increasingly deployed facial recognition and predictive algorithms to stake out an arrest, and underneath it all is a covert social credit score system. Last week, Biometric Update published a startling report on ICE’s AI predictive tool called ELITE, powered by Palantir. “Backed by $160 million in contracts, ICE’s dystopian tech enforcement architecture is straining long-standing legal boundaries,” said author Anthony Kimery.
So you don’t have to have actually committed a crime to get on Palantir’s watchlist and be designated as a person potentially dangerous to the government. Someone they need to watch more closely than the average joe.
Palantir contracts with governments in Israel, Ukraine, and the U.S. to create dossiers on people and form enemy lists. In the U.S., those enemy lists include dissidents who disagree with government policy like the woman in the above video but who are doing nothing illegal. In fact, she’s wholly within her constitutional rights to video a law enforcement officer.
Please don’t take this article as me saying I’m in favor of illegal immigration. My writings over the last 10 years show I am anything but pro-illegal alien. I do believe, however, that the only thing worse than illegal immigration is the advent of a federalized and militarized police state where American citizens are being harassed, having their homes and cars entered without judicial warrants, and being ordered to “show their papers.” Nothing could be more un-American.
There has to be a better way to remove illegals and I’ve offered a few ideas in past articles, one of which would be cutting off all government assistance, including access to public schools for children of illegals. This would cause the overwhelming majority to self-deport. Next, I would focus on illegals with violent criminal records or who are capable of carrying out terrorist activities.
But sending federal agents geared out like stormtroopers into people’s homes and demanding to see their papers sets a dangerous precedent.
A few years from now, under a President Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom, the woman in the above video could just as easily be a true-blue conservative American filming FBI agents performing an “operation” in your area. Maybe you see them pulling home-schooled children out of Christian homes and placing them in black SUVs bound for re-education camps. These types of police raids on Christian homes are already taking place in Britain and Germany, and their are Democrats who are itching to do the same thing here. I would submit that President Trump’s use of federal police to raid homes on the left will make it easier for the next president to do the same thing to us on the right. They could be looking for home-schooled kids. They could be looking for firearms, or any number of other contraband that fits their political narrative.
