On the day after the 2024 election, Palantir was valued at $51.13.  Today, Palantir has closed higher than our initial projection of $150 to $200 “prior to the midterms.”

Palantir continues benefitting from govt contracts not just for military application but also for facial recognition processes within (1) the deportation operation, (2) implementation of Real ID, (3) DHS/TSA use at entry points.

I have outlined this seemingly inevitable construct with great granular detail.  Culminating in a December 2024 recap [SEE HERE] along with my position in January of this year [SEE HERE].  I do not like it, but I understand the arguments behind it.

You Treepers know my top two priorities in the world of politics: Economic Nationalism (MAGAnomics), and capital letter Liberty, the fight against the surveillance state.  In these endeavors the “Tech Bros” are opposed to our positions.

President Trump is focused on #1, economic nationalism. He eats, breathes and thinks about it all the time.  It is also his #1 priority.  However, President Trump has so many other items of great importance on his desk the surveillance state issue does not yet get his focused attention.

If confrontation with the surveillance state is also a priority for you, be patient.

Eventually President Trump will see the Palantir constructs that have been laid around the administration by Machiavellian elements.  Trump’s hindsight will then be a weapon as he starts asking the big questions to those who have sat silently as the constructs have unfolded.

Live your very best life, it is the only one you have.

Lord Jesus Christ, before the mountains were born or the stars were hung in place, You were. By You all things were made, and without You, nothing was made that has been made. You are the radiance of God’s glory, the exact imprint of His nature, and You uphold all things by the word of Your power.

I bow before You, the Lamb who was slain, yet who reigns forevermore. You conquered death by Your death. You triumphed over sin, not by force, but by love. By blood, by a cross, by a crown of thorns. Worthy are You, Christ Jesus, to receive all glory, honor, and praise. You ransomed people from every tribe, tongue, and nation, and made us kings and priests before the Father.

Jesus, You are the Good Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine for the one. You are the True Vine, the Bread of Life, the Light of the World.  You are the Door through which we enter salvation…the Way, the Truth, and the Life. What is man that You are mindful of us? What is my soul, that You would stoop to dwell within me? Yet You call me friend. You call me beloved. You washed my feet, bore my shame, and clothed me in righteousness.

You speak and the winds obey. You touch and the leper is made whole. You whisper, and demons flee. You breathe, and dry bones come to life.

So I exalt You, Jesus! Not merely with my lips, but with every heartbeat, every breath, every moment. Let my life be a living hallelujah.” ~ Chad Prather

Amen!
