The U.S. military is stationed just outside of Gaza using Palantir software to track Palestinians and use AI to “shrink the kill chain.”
A new report from 972 Magazine lays out how a Palantir program called Maven can pull data from satellites, drones, intercepted calls, and basically the entire digital footprint of Gaza to “shrink the kill chain.” That’s Palantir’s own term.
What does that mean? It means to kill people faster. A soldier sees a target on a screen and an AI instantly sweeps their life, associations, movement, and now their social media history to generate a justification to kill them in real time. The military is also using an AI program called Dataminr, which can scrape social networks to produce what it calls “risk intelligence.” Said something online five years ago? Mentioned the wrong group? Liked the wrong post? Fire!
And as terrifying as this is, the worst mistake you could make is assuming it stays over there. Palantir has openly lobbied to deploy these systems inside the United States during periods of “domestic unrest.” Combine that with an administration that believes “domestic terrorists” are a meaningful internal category, and it’s not hard to guess where this is headed.
Domestic terrorists are not a thing for a reason. The Constitution does not allow the government to label dissenters as terrorists. If it could, that would give federal agencies the same surveillance powers Israel uses against Palestinians to monitor, catalog, investigate, and neutralize political opponents.
The federal government can prosecute crimes and seek warrants for suspected criminals. It cannot prosecute ideology. It cannot target citizens for their beliefs.
But the software exists now and once you build a kill chain, the only thing that changes is the target. Switch “Hamas fighters” to “domestic extremists,” and the machinery stays exactly the same. These systems create permanent, AI-generated enemy lists that never expire. “Optimizing the kill chain” also means automating the propaganda chain and expanding the pool of people flagged as suspicious.
That’s why this is genuinely dystopian.

"Okay, on second thought, this is a lot like reality TV."
Winning In the Court of Public Opinion
(so come on)
Another promise, another seed
Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And all the Green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
(so come on)
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
so come on
Interchanging mind control
Come let the revolution take its toll
If you could flick the switch and open your third eye
You'd see that We should never be afraid to die
(so come on)
Rise up and take the power back
It's time the fat cats had a heart attack
They know that their time's coming to an end
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not enslave us
We will be victorious
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They can not control us
We will be victorious
