Re: [Salon] Mark Milley throws his own military under the bus to justify IDF crimes



Milley: A perfect example of “Wokeism,” criticizing the “American Way of War.” He’s in need of some “Patriotic Education” like Trump had my old Straussian friend Larry Arnn of Hillsdale College (https://www.theamericanconservative.com/author/michael-anton/) produce as the 1776 Project, in store for us soon.

But I found Alex Karp, CEO of Peter Thiel’s Palantir Corporation, most interesting, as Thiel so zealously supports the New Right, the so-called “Restrainers,” who are so celebrated and promoted by The American Conservative magazine, with Thiel the most prominent National Conservative maybe, next to Yoram Hazony. So what is Thiel’s Palantir up to? Exactly what you’d expect; waging Cognitive War against the American public, in support of Israeli fascism, and genocide: 


This is what “Realism and Restraint” stands for, I guess, given how celebrated Thiel is by TAC:

Thiel’s Palantir, Israel Agree Strategic Partnership for Battle Tech

  • US company will provide services for ‘war-related missions’

Israel-linked CIA-funded Palantir goes public, making espionage mainstream

The firm is closely linked to the CIA and Israel, while standing accused of multiple counts of human rights violations.

"Palantir, known for its government contract work in defense and intelligence, has provided its technology to support the Ukrainian and Israeli militaries in their respective wars. . . .

"Palantir held its first board meeting of the year in Tel Aviv, Israel, in January, after which the company agreed to a “strategic partnership” with the Israeli Ministry of Defense to supply the country with technology for its military efforts. In November, Karp asserted the company’s support of the U.S. government and Israel, declaring on an earnings call that “Palantir only supplies its products to Western allies.”

"In Wednesday’s interview, Karp reaffirmed his pro-Israel views."

"U.S. tech giant Palantir Technologies has announced that it has agreed a strategic partnership with the Israel Ministry of Defense to “supply Palantir technology to help the country’s war effort.”
"Palantir said that the agreement followed a Thursday meeting between Israeli defense officials and Palantir co-founders Peter Thiel and Alex Karp."

So “3 out of 3 ain’t bad,” of Trump’s 3 main Oligarchical backers, Thiel, Koch, and Adelson, all deeply immersed in Israel’s “Military Industrial Complex!”

Don't forget for a second that Israel's war is not only our war, but in so many ways, our gain, at least for the profiteers — including former Joint Chiefs Milley,  who sees more personal and professional benefit in supporting Israel, even if that means throwing his own under the bus. Funny, he and his ilk never wanted to talk about American atrocities before, until they figured it would help get Israel's military off the hook.
