Slow your roll, Alex Karp.

(Webmaster Introduction: According to reporter, Nick Fuentes, Jewish billionaire CEO of Palantir, Alex Karp, has an enemies list of 3 million Americans. Is it likely that a great many of these individuals are falsely branded as terrorists and/or anti-semitic? Under Karp, is a so-called “anti-semite” a “terrorist?” Are Karp and Palantir the real terrorists”? Yes. Along with, of course, the US and Israeli governments that are both controlled by the same demonically-possessed tribe. See the definition of “terrorism” below.)
Terrorism: The use of violence or the threat of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims.
Why does Karp’s Jewishness pose a problem for America and the free world?
John 8:44: You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
Mathew 23:33: “Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?”))

Alex Karp, the creepy (Jewish) CEO of creepy defense contractor Palantir, just can’t stop talking about killing people. During a recent call with investors, the billionaire let it slip that he doesn’t mind a little bloodshed, just so long as the money keeps pouring in.
“Palantir is here to disrupt and make the institutions we partner with the very best in the world and, when it’s necessary, to scare enemies and on occasion kill them,” Karp said, with a smile on his face. The CEO added that he was very proud of the work his firm is doing and that he felt it was good for America. “I’m very happy to have you along for the journey,” he said. “We are crushing it. We are dedicating our company to the service of the West, and the United States of America, and we’re super-proud of the role we play, especially in places we can’t talk about.”
Mother Jones reports that Trump’s re-election and subsequent enactment of police-state style policies have been mighty good for Palantir’s stock— which makes sense since Palantir is a police-state kind of company.
During the same call, Karp mentioned killing people once again when the conversation turned to the fiasco currently unfolding in the U.S. government (said fiasco involves Karp’s fellow billionaire Elon Musk using his Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, to dismantle federal agencies, purge the civil service workforce, and generally destroy the functioning of American bureaucracy). “We (Webmaster: Jews) love disruption, and whatever’s good for America will be good for Americans and very good for Palantir,” Karp said, apparently excited about Musk’s effort. “Disruption, at the end of the day, exposes things that aren’t working,” he continued. “There will be ups and downs. There’s a revolution. Some people are going to get their heads cut off. We’re expecting to see really unexpected things and to win.”
(Webmaster comment: Karp and Musk are Jewish Jacobin revolutionaries. During the French revolution, also led by Jacobins, guillotines were used to behead thousands to millions of Christians during the French Revolution.)
The tech industry’s love of the buzzword “disruption” is humorous and confounding. After all, not all disruption is good disruption. It would be “disruptive” to Karp’s day if, for instance, he was attacked by a grizzly bear, or tripped down his staircase, or got food poisoning, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it would be a good use of his time or beneficial to his overall well-being. Similarly, “disrupting” our nation’s government and allowing people’s heads to be cut off (if only metaphorically) may not actually be good for America.
It’s weird that Karp is so supportive of publicly flogging the U.S. government, since Palantir, itself, was originally seeded with money from that government, and continues to make most of its money from it. Of course, Karp is so rich now it’s possible he just doesn’t see the connection between a functioning bureaucracy and his own well-being. Bloomberg’s billionaire index claims he is worth some $9 billion. With that kind of money, you can afford to kick back and presume that everything’s going to turn out all right in the end.
II. Palantir CEO Alex Karp says yes, its tech is used to kill people
“If you’re looking for a terrorist in the world now, you’re probably using our government product, and you’re probably doing the operation that actually takes out the person with another product we built.”

Technology made by data-mining firm Palantir is “on occasion” used to target and kill people, CEO Alex Karp told Axios in an interview broadcast on HBO Monday. He was referring specifically to the targeting of known terrorists around the world.
The interview centered upon Palantir’s longstanding collaborations with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office — work Karp has vehemently defended many times before. Karp’s most recent interview is more candid than most, though, and he reveals glimpses of the toll the company’s contracts with ICE have taken on him and his business.
In the interview, Karp says, “I had people protesting me, some of whom I think ask really legitimate questions. I have asked myself, if I were younger at college: ‘Would I be protesting me?’”
LOSING EMPLOYEES — When asked about whether or not he regrets the contracts he’s signed with ICE, Karp said “No, no, no.” But those contracts have taken a toll on his ability to keep a solid workforce.
“I’ve had some of my favorite employees leave … over ICE,” he says in the interview.
When asked about the protestor’s most valid criticism, Karp answered cryptically: “If you are involved in anything — one instance of injustice doesn’t tarnish every instance of justice.” We’re not entirely sure what that one means, except that it’s a pretty creative way of skirting the question.
(UN)ETHICAL BUSINESS — Karp says there are plenty of clauses in Palantir’s contracts that keep him from speaking to the particulars of the company’s business. NDAs notwithstanding, Karp is obviously torn over the ethics of Palantir’s work. He never comes out and says he feels bad about the work — in fact, he seems pretty proud of the company’s success. But Karp shows here conflicting emotions about the consequences of that success. That’s rare.
PALANTIR IS BOOKED AND BUSY — Palantir’s technology has most recently been used to track the spread of COVID-19 across the United States. This comes as no surprise, given co-founder Peter Thiel’s close ties to President Trump. The company also teamed up with the U.S. Coast Guard to aid its pandemic response readiness.
So yeah, Palantir’s technology is being used to kill people. We already knew the company was developing AI military tech; this is just confirmation that it’s already very much in use. Karp and his associates aren’t going to let a little ethical dilemma stop their efforts to realize market supremacy, after all.
III. From Battlefield to Boardroom: The Rise of Palantir and Alex Karp
How a ‘shadowy’ defense startup became a billion-dollar AI juggernaut

Introduction
In 2003, Alex Karp teamed up with his Stanford Law School classmate, Peter Thiel, to co-found a company with a mission to harness data for protecting national security. Twenty years later, that company—Palantir Technologies—has become a hyper-charged AI powerhouse, credited with everything from helping track down Osama Bin Laden to reimagining how the biggest enterprises make decisions.
Palantir’s journey is a study in contradictions: it’s built on government intelligence contracts but increasingly pivots to corporate boardrooms; it touts transparency but operates under a cloak of secrecy; it proclaims its pro-democracy stance but also wields tools of surveillance. And at the center of this high-stakes endeavor is CEO Alex Karp—an intellectual anomaly who balances intense data analytics with Tai Chi sessions in the office.
In this article, we’ll explore how Palantir sprang from the ashes of 9/11, why it’s become a magnet for controversy, and whether the “rebel” stock deserves a spot in your portfolio.
1. The 9/11 Catalyst: Palantir’s Genesis
On September 11, 2001, the U.S. intelligence community experienced an unprecedented failure—one that prompted nationwide soul-searching about data sharing, security, and the technology needed to prevent future attacks. Alex Karp, who was then completing his Ph.D. in Germany, felt the shockwaves across the Atlantic.
“9/11 was a wake-up call—it revealed the cracks in intelligence and the need for better tools,” Karp later reflected.
By 2003, he had joined forces with Peter Thiel (also known for PayPal) and secured initial funding from In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s venture capital arm. Their goal: create software capable of sorting and analyzing massive datasets to track down threats before they materialized.
2. Osama Bin Laden and Beyond: Government Contracts
Rumors of Palantir’s involvement in the 2011 operation that resulted in Osama Bin Laden’s death persist, though Karp remains predictably tight-lipped. What isn’t secret is that the company has clinched headline-making defense contracts, such as:
Project Maven (USD480 million): An AI initiative aimed at analyzing drone footage for threat detection.
TITAN (USD178 million): A battlefield intelligence platform for the U.S. Army.
These deals cemented Palantir’s place in the defense ecosystem—powerful and, at times, controversial.
“Saving lives and on occasion taking lives is super interesting,” Karp told The New York Times.
3. From War Rooms to Boardrooms
Initially anchored in defense and intelligence, Palantir soon recognized the commercialpotential of its data-analysis software. While government contracts still generate a large share of revenue, the company’s commercial footprint is expanding fast—now representing over 45% of its revenues.
Airbus: Palantir’s software helped airlines anticipate maintenance needs and reduce costly delays by using predictive analytics.
JPMorgan & Financial Firms: During the 2008 financial crisis, Palantir’s ability to scan and interpret huge datasets saved banks hundreds of millions of dollars in potential losses.
As the software proved its capability in crunching data under extreme conditions, it began to dominate in less chaotic but equally data-rich environments—enterprise supply chains, healthcare analytics, and more.
4. The Karp Paradox: Chaos, Genius, and Tai Chi
Alex Karp stands out in Silicon Valley. He’s not the typical hoodie-wearing tech mogul nor a buttoned-up executive. Known for his offbeat style, Karp is said to make hiring decisions in just minutes if he spots the “philosopher-engineer” blend he values.
He also practices Tai Chi—sometimes in the office corridors—finding calm in the midst of high-pressure government deals and intense public scrutiny. Rumor has it that he keeps Tai Chi swords nearby. Yet for all his “unusual” style, Karp’s track record speaks volumes about his leadership and knack for positioning Palantir in the market’s most critical lanes.
5. The AI Investment You Didn’t See Coming
While headlines often chase Microsoft, Google, or Nvidia as AI’s leading lights, Palantir stealthily rallied over 300% in stock value from April 2023 to late 2024, outperforming many tech giants.
IPO in 2020: Priced at $9.50, the stock soared to $76.07 by late 2024—a 155% total gain.
Recent S&P 500 Inclusion: Palantir’s debut in the S&P 500 in September 2024 placed it firmly on the radar of major institutional investors.
Yet, the company remains something of an “acquired taste” on Wall Street, saddled with ethical debates about data privacy, government surveillance, and the moral implications of advanced analytics in warfare.
6. Torn Between Politics and Profit
Palantir’s ties to U.S. intelligence and the CIA have stoked controversy. Internal friction flares when Karp diverges from co-founder Peter Thiel’s political leanings. Thiel openly supports Republicans like Donald Trump, while Karp has shown favor to Democrats, including Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
“I’m not apologizing for giving our product to Ukraine, Israel, or anywhere else,” Karp states bluntly, championing Palantir’s alliances with U.S. partners and NATO allies.
Despite the internal political crossfire, Palantir remains profitable and indispensable to governments and enterprises alike.
7. The Bottom Line for Investors
As Palantir’s technology continues to expand from battlefields to boardrooms, the company’s potential for growth—and controversy—shows no sign of slowing down. If you’re considering a stake in this “rebel” tech, weigh both sides of the equation:
Pros:
Dominant foothold in U.S. defense and intelligence.
Rapidly growing commercial segment.
Proven capabilities in AI and big data analytics.
Cons:
Political scrutiny and ethical controversies.
Dependency on large government contracts.
Premium valuation could be risky in market downturns.
Ultimately, Palantir’s story is far from over. Whether you view Alex Karp as a visionary or a villain, he has built a data-driven empire that’s shaping national security and enterprise decisions worldwide.
