"The palantíri (singular palantír), also known as the Seven Stones or the Seven Seeing-stones, were spherical stone objects used for communication and intelligence gathering. There were eight distinguished ones in total, with seven in Middle-earth." Source: https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/Palant%C3%ADri
Given that these people are into the occult and dark arts it doesn't surprise me that Thiel (et al) would draw upon the Lord of the Rings to name their nefarious companies of ill intent and purpose like "Palantir (a CIA contractor) and ClearView AI."
I have just re-stacked this post when I noticed that Patrick Wood has reposted Whitney's article on his Technocracy News & Trends website with the following preface:
"One crude headline in 2022 described Peter Thiel as a “Sociopathic Billionaire Man-Child Who Wants to Eat the World.” Elon Musk and Thiel are both known for Asperger’s traits, but both are dyed-in-the-wool Technocrats and Transhumans. Both are huge contributors to the Trump campaign. J.D. Vance, also a Technocrat, was employed and groomed by Thiel for his entire adult life. Thiel subsequently financed Vance’s successful Senatorial campaign and then jockeyed him into the vice-president nomination.
"If the Trump/Vance ticket succeeds in November, it will mark a significant victory for Technocracy in America. For over 15 years, I have been sounding the alarm that this outcome was inevitable if technocracy was not firmly rejected by the public. Instead, America seems to be embracing it.
"Thiel and Musk have signaled to their billionaire technocrat and transhumanist friends to rally to the Trump/Vance ticket, so you can expect a stampede to pile on the cash. Already, I have identified several: the Winklevoss twins, Ben Horowitz. David Sacks, Marc Andreessen and Joe Lonsdale.
"Let me say again: Technocracy is not Communism, Socialism, Marxism, or Fascism. It is a perverse economic system driven by a scientific dictatorship. Alas, by the time that Americans wake up to this, it will be too late to shrug it off.

Palantirs were powerful crystal balls used by Sauron in The Lord of the Rings!
Thank you so much Lloyd for mentioning this.

Sigh.
JDV and his wife obviously shoulder tapped early.
It most certainly appears that way. 😕
