  Whitney Webb just exposed the truth about Palantir’s origins. It was created to privatize mass surveillance. “Don’t tell me this is a conspiracy theory.” “Alex Karp admitted that the CIA was always the intended client of Palantir.” Webb and Mark Goodwin just broke down the truth about Palantir’s origins: After 9/11, DARPA launched the Information Awareness Office to develop a government mass surveillance apparatus. Reagan-era National Security Advisor John Poindexter led the new IAO. After massive public scrutiny and backlash, Congress defunded it. But the program never really shut down. It was moved into the private sector with the help of Peter Thiel and Alex Karp. Webb: “Peter Thiel comes, fresh off of selling PayPal … he’s got all this money, and he’s like: I’m gonna make this company called Palantir.” “Palantir … had really started off as the anti-fraud algorithm at PayPal.” “When PayPal was being created, Max Levchin sort of gave it away.” Goodwin revealed that Max Levchin essentially admitted in an interview at the time: “When I was developing all the anti-fraud stuff at PayPal, I was working with every three and four letter agency that I could.” “Meaning the CIA, and the DOD, and DARPA.” “They form PayPal in the late ‘90s.” “They make a bunch of money, and it’s Thiel and Levchin, admittedly working with the CIA and NSA, while developing this anti-fraud stuff.” “He takes that anti-fraud algorithm, which was built with the CIA in the private sector, and then rebrands it as Palantir.” Webb: “As they’re setting it up, they go through Richard Perle, who was involved with the Bush-era Department of Defense, and I believe the Office of Special Plans.” “He’s approached by Peter Thiel and Alex Karp.” “They’re basically like: we want to talk to John Poindexter, because what he was trying to do is what we want to do.” “They go and meet with Poindexter, who becomes named basically the godfather of modern surveillance because of this.” “He advises them on how to create Palantir.” “And then Palantir gets in bed pretty much right away with the CIA.” “They were their first and only client for their first six years.” @_whitneywebb @markgoodw_in

  I run everything through PayPal because I don’t have a bank account, and now PayPal is refusing to let me issue invoices or receive money because I don’t have a bank account. It’s ridiculous... They could've told me 3 months ago that this only works for a while!!!! #frustrated #freelancer #paypal

  Turn on login alerts and payment notifications By default, PayPal sends email confirmations for completed payments. But it doesn't always alert you about new logins, password changes, or account modifications. His friend said: "Go to Settings. Click Notifications. Turn on alerts for everything logins, sent payments, received payments, password changes, linked device changes. Get them via email and push notification." He then showed him the Activity page a full log of every transaction, login, and account event. Most people never scroll through it. He said: "Spend 2 minutes once a month scrolling through your Activity feed. Look for payments you don't recognize, logins from unknown devices, or subscriptions you forgot about. That $2.49/month charge ran for 7 months before you noticed it. If you'd been checking Activity once a month, you'd have caught it after the first charge."

  Someone called us "a WordPress site with an AI writer." Sure: 227k lines of TypeScript, a 64-table ledger, a real-time CPM ad auction, Stripe + PayPal payout rails, an MCP server so AI agents can read us AND buy ads, and a newsroom that renders its own nightly video recaps.

  @pokemondealsuk @Rakermoon Used my Santander, credit card, PayPal and Klarna card. All the same error, so definitely account related and not bank related

  @AndreaTaz4ever2 I’m sure the community here on twitter would be more than willing to chip in for your cat’s care if you setup paypal or a gofundme. Sorry to hear that your cat is having alot of health problems. I guess it is the way it is as they become older.

  @holo_dreams_en Hi, I would love to play the game, but it seems I am not able to on PC or Android. Android seems to be due to using Graphene OS. I will note that the phone is not rooted, and banking apps, paypal, etc all work fine, so the should not be a security issue...

  @YouWhat112 @pokemondealsuk Yep still won’t let me order even normal things. Even PayPal brings up the error. Quite possibly the worst time for this to happen as I think it’ll mean we miss every 30th drop until something happens. 😔

  **MOLD SAGA UPDATE** Waiting on tools to be dropped off and parts to be delivered so I can fix this pulley and belt and coil packs. Could REALLY use $50 for gas, but I’ve only got a half a tank and I need to get to Atlanta and drive around a little bit before I’ll make any money so if anyone wanted to throw me even a couple bucks it would help tremendously.
