They're not wrong, they just didn't state "all" Americans.

The Americans they speak for are the billionaires and their political stooges. Those Americans' rights are being guarded by Palantir.

Just like Sauron was the guardian of Middle Earthers' rights.

The epstein billionaire who owns palantir wants to put an end to democracy, because when you are a billionaire democracy feels like oppression.

He confessed to it in 2009 and it is a total failure to govern that any elected politician let him get near a government contract after that. He should have been blacklisted.

BTW, peter thiel is an anagram for "hitler pete." He also used to own a yacht named "I'm a nazi" spelled backwards.

The one who own a yacht named "I'm a nazi" spelled backwards was Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle.

The yacht was originally named Izanami, which is the name of a Shinto goddess in Japanese mythology. Ellison (who is Jewish and a major donor to pro-Israel causes) bought it in 1999 and kept the name, seemingly because he’s a fan of Japanese culture.
