+Controversial Data-Mining Firm [[:Palantir]] Vanishes From Biden Adviser’s Biography After She Joins Campaign
+Within a few days of joining the Biden campaign, the biography of former top intelligence official Avril Haines no longer listed her work for Palantir.
+The Intercept by Murtaza Hussain   June 26 2020,
+In addition to her past national security work and impressive presence in the D.C. think tank world, Haines has in the past described herself as a former consultant for the controversial data-mining firm Palantir. Haines’s biography page at the [[:Brookings Institute]], where she is listed as a nonresident senior fellow, boasted of this affiliation until at least last week, when it suddenly no longer appeared on the page.
+The nature of the consulting work that Haines did for Palantir is not clear. As of press time, requests for comment to her, the Biden campaign, Palantir, and Brookings were not answered. Prior to being removed from the Brookings page, the connection to the data-mining company was listed alongside a long list of other affiliations that were similarly pared down.
+Palantir’s history that raises questions. The company has also been accused in the past of plotting to intimidate journalists involved in reporting documents released by [[:WikiLeaks]]. And Palantir has also provided services to police — another move that appears to put the company out of step with the current political moment. The company also aided the [[:National Security Agency]] by creating the tools to facilitate worldwide spying.

+Private spies and CIA firm among MITRE’s COVID-19 coalition
+As a member of VCI’s governing steering group, MITRE runs its own “COVID-19 Healthcare Coalition” while describing itself as “a longstanding, trusted partner to the defense and intelligence communities.”
+Among the members of [[:MITRE]]’s own COVID-19 coalition is [[:Palantir]], a private intelligence firm founded in 2003 by [[:Paypal]] co-founder [[:Peter Thiel]]. Palantir has established itself as a leader in predictive policing programs and raked in lucrative contracts with the CIA. The firm once participated in a proposed smear campaign against anti-corporate activists and journalistic critics including Glenn Greenwald.
+Avril Haines, the current Director of National Intelligence and CIA’s former Deputy Director was paid $180,000 to consult for Palantir – a gig she scrubbed from her bio.
+Haines was also a lead participant in the Gates, WEF, and John Hopkins Center for Health and Security-sponsored [[:Event 201]] pandemic simulation in October 2019. During this exercise, public health professionals, intelligence officials, and business leaders gamed out a hypothetical coronavirus epidemic that killed 65 million people worldwide.
+Haines emphasized to fellow panelists the need to counter criticism of the official pandemic response by “flood[ing] the zone with trusted sources” of media and cultural influencers “in order to try to amplify the message that’s coming through.”
+Palantir has also provided Covid data-tracking technology to the UK’s National Health Service alongside [[:Microsoft]], [[:Google]], and [[:Amazon]]. Conservative British political strategist [[:Dominic Cummings]], who enjoys links to Palantir and provided the firm with special access to the Prime Minister’s office, has been advising Boris Johnson and the UK government’s [[:Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies]] ([[:SAGE]]) on Covid policy.
+Back in the US, Palantir has supplied the US [[:Department of Homeland Security]] and [[:Center for Disease Control]] with various Covid-related technologies.
+The CIA’s venture capital firm, [[:In-Q-Tel]], is also listed among MITRE’s Covid-19 Healthcare Coalition.
+This September, the Vice President of In-Q-Tel’s technical staff, [[:Dan Hanfling]], was quoted in the Washington Post arguing that **unvaccinated people should be denied healthcare** in the name of triage: “that group of individuals who have willingly chosen not to vaccinate, for illegitimate reasons, it would be fair to place them at the back of the line,” Hanfling proclaimed..
+The Washington Post did not note Hanfling’s affiliation with the CIA; instead, it described him simply as an “emergency physician.” ((https://thegrayzone.com/2021/10/26/cloak-dagger-military-intelligence-digital-vaccine-passport/))
