There are concerns that the Trump Administration’s data merging plans will eliminate privacy and cause other problems:<\/p>\n

\u2018Destroy the Ring\u2019: Trump\u2019s Palantir deal alarms Hill Republicans<\/h2>\n

Republican privacy advocates in Congress are criticizing the Trump administration\u2019s work with the tech giant Palantir to analyze what could become a massive pool of government data on Americans.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump signed an order<\/a> in March that directed federal agencies to remove \u201cunnecessary barriers\u201d to data consolidation. Even before that, as The New York Times reported<\/a> last week, Palantir had expanded the reach of its artificial intelligence product within the US government \u2014 potentially building an interagency database that would merge huge sets of government information on Americans, from medical to financial.<\/p>\n

Palantir provides tech to companies and governments that helps them act on the information they collect \u2014 a service gaining traction as large language models make it easier to analyze data at scale. …<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s dangerous,\u201d Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, told Semafor. \u201cWhen you start combining all those data points on an individual into one database, it really essentially creates a digital ID. And it\u2019s a power that history says will eventually be abused.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope to turn it off, fundamentally,\u201d Davidson added. He compared a Palantir-facilitated merged database to the dangerously powerful ring from the Lord of The Rings<\/em>: \u201cThe only good thing to do with One Ring to Rule Them All is to destroy the Ring.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Resistance like Davidson\u2019s is striking because few congressional Republicans have publicly challenged the president since his second term began. https:\/\/www.semafor.com\/article\/06\/05\/2025\/destroy-the-ring-trumps-palantir-deal-alarms-hill-republicans<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Big Tech of USA already has massive databases–and if the USA government taps in, this will encourage other governments around the world to do the same type of thing.<\/p>\n

Could Palantir help turn the USA into a type of digital prison?<\/p>\n

The Rutherford Institute suggest that is so:<\/p>\n

Palantir-Powered Surveillance Is Turning America Into a Digital Prison<\/h2>\n

We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion<\/a>: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission.\u201d \u2014 Ayn Rand<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Call it what it is: a panopticon presidency.<\/p>\n

President Trump\u2019s plan to fuse government power with private surveillance tech<\/a> to build a centralized, national citizen database<\/a> is the final step in transforming America from a constitutional republic into a digital dictatorship armed with algorithms and powered by unaccountable, all-seeing artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t about national security. It\u2019s about control.<\/p>\n

According to news reports, the Trump administration is quietly collaborating with Palantir Technologies<\/a>\u2014the data-mining behemoth co-founded by billionaire Peter Thiel\u2014to construct a centralized, government-wide surveillance system that would consolidate biometric, behavioral, and geolocation data into a single, weaponized database of Americans\u2019 private information.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t about protecting freedom. It\u2019s about rendering freedom obsolete.<\/p>\n

What we\u2019re witnessing is the transformation of America into a digital prison\u2014one where the inmates are told we\u2019re free while every move, every word, every thought is monitored, recorded, and used to assign a \u201cthreat score<\/a>\u201d that determines our place in the new hierarchy of obedience.<\/p>\n

This puts us one more step down the road to China\u2019s dystopian system of social credit scores and Big Brother surveillance.<\/p>\n

The tools enabling this all-seeing surveillance regime are not new, but under Trump\u2019s direction, they are being fused together in unprecedented ways\u2014with Palantir at the center of this digital dragnet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Palantir, long criticized for its role in powering ICE<\/a> (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) raids and predictive policing, is now poised to become the brain of Trump\u2019s surveillance regime.<\/p>\n

Under the guise of \u201cdata integration\u201d and \u201cpublic safety,\u201d this public-private partnership would deploy AI-enhanced systems to comb through everything from facial recognition feeds and license plate readers to social media posts and cellphone metadata\u2014cross-referencing it all to assess a person\u2019s risk to the state. …<\/p>\n

Building on this foundation of historical abuse, the government has evolved its tactics, replacing human informants with algorithms and wiretaps with metadata, ushering in an age where pre-crime prediction is treated as prosecution.<\/p>\n

In the age of AI, your digital footprint is enough to convict you\u2014not in a court of law, but in the court of preemptive suspicion.<\/p>\n

Every smartphone ping, GPS coordinate, facial scan, online purchase, and social media like becomes part of your \u201cdigital exhaust\u201d\u2014a breadcrumb trail of metadata<\/a> that the government now uses to build behavioral profiles. The FBI calls it \u201copen-source intelligence<\/a>.\u201d But make no mistake: this is dragnet surveillance, and it is fundamentally unconstitutional.\u00a006\/03\/25 https:\/\/www.rutherford.org\/publications_resources\/john_whiteheads_commentary\/trumps_palantir_powered_surveillance_is_turning_america_into_a_digital_prison<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, this sounds like the USA is getting closer to the UK which is also looking at “pre-crime” etc. in a way reminiscent of the Tom Cruise movie called Minority Report<\/em> (see UK working with Artificial Intelligence to identify people before they commit crimes\u2013idea reminiscient of \u2018Minority Report\u2019<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Despite some claiming that the USA is the land of the free and home of the brave, like some other nations, it is the land of the surveilled and the home of the highly regulated.<\/p>\n

666, the Censorship Industrial Complex, and AI<\/a><\/h3>\n

We are seeing more and more censorship, particularly on the internet. Matt Taibi has termed the coordination of this from governments, academia, Big Tech, and \u201cfact checkers,\u201d the \u2018Censorship Industrial Complex.\u2019 Is more censorship prophesied to happen? What did the prophet Amos write in the 5th and 8th chapter of his book? What about writings from the Apostle Peter? Is the USA government coercing censorship in violation of the first amendment to its constitution according to federal judges? What about the Digital Services Act from the European Union. Is artificial intelligence (AI) being used? What about for the video game \u2018Call of Duty\u2019? Has Google made changes that are against religious speech? Has YouTube, Facebook, Twitter (X), and others in Big Tech been censoring factually accurate information? Is the US government using AI to monitor social media to look for emotions in order to suppress information? What is mal-information? Is a famine of the word of God prophesied to come? Will the 666 Beast and the Antichrist use computers and AI for totalitarian censorship and control?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here is a link to our video: 666, the Censorship Industrial Complex, and AI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We are getting closer to the day, with technologies unheard of when God inspired Amos and John to warn what would happen\u2013like computers and AI\u2013that the totalitarian Beast of Revelation will be able use to assist his 666 reign as well as enforce the coming \u2018famine of the word\u2019 of God.<\/p>\n

Snares are being laid. The Trump Administration is assisting in that.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Notice item 10 of my list of 25 items to prophetically watch in 2025<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

10. Knowledge Increasing<\/h2>\n

Notice something from ancient times:<\/p>\n

\n

6 And the LORD said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. 7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”<\/p>\n

8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. 9 Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth. (Genesis 11:6-9)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While many languages came out of this, notice another prophecy for the end times:<\/p>\n

\n

4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” (Daniel 12:4)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

We are seeing massive developments in health, robotics, artificial intelligence, and various sciences.<\/p>\n

The arrival and use of “artificial intelligence,” automobiles, jet planes, computers, cellular telephones, and the internet certainly align with that prophecy.<\/p>\n

Computers have also made it easier to communicate, even among people of different languages. And while that can be a good thing … they also have the ability to increase surveillance.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Bible shows more restrictions are coming.<\/p>\n

In my book, Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump\u2019s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies?<\/a><\/span>, I had the following warnings:<\/p>\n

Donald Trump has been in favor of many aspects of government surveillance and loss of personal privacy rights. (p. 54)<\/p>\n

Donald Trump is Apocalyptic …\u00a0He has made statements suggesting a loss of privacy and favoring unlimited government control. This type of thing will be exploited by 666 of Revelation 13:16-18. (pp. 86,91)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Deceit and surveillance is prophesied to increase.<\/p>\n

Notice what will be coming to at least Europe:<\/p>\n

14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.<\/p>\n

18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Revelation 13:14-18)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

The above will help make much of the world a “digital prison.”<\/p>\n

Let me add that Europe has already taken steps to push Big Tech to remove speech it does not want to allow–and it is also increasing its ability to surveil.<\/p>\n

Some of what the Trump Administration is doing will likely be used by European leaders to justify the beastly surveillance and control the Bible prophesies will occur.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Do not place your confidence in any governments in this world, but in Jesus and the coming Kingdom of God<\/a>.<\/p>\n
