In this latest Corbett Report episode, James Corbett reads and dissects The Technological Republic, the manifesto co-authored by Palantir CEO Alex Karp, exposing its calls for Silicon Valley to embrace its “moral debt” to America by building AI-powered hard power, military software, and autonomous weapons to dominate adversaries like China. Corbett contrasts Karp’s eccentric public persona and the company’s dark history (from CIA roots and Total Information Awareness ties to predictive policing, biosurveillance, and enabling targeting in Gaza and Ukraine) with the book’s demands for universal national service/draft, rearmament of Germany and Japan, rejection of “soft power,” and cultural assertions favoring certain societies over others. The analysis frames the manifesto as a window into the psychopathic fusion of Big Tech, intelligence agencies, and militarism, where surveillance capitalism openly merges with endless war and elite control under the banner of defending “the West.”
