And here it is, man:
One evening in March 2017, Hoan Ton-That, an Australian coder building a powerful facial recognition system, emailed his American business partners with a plan to deploy their fledgling technology. “Border patrol pitch,” the subject line read. He hoped to persuade the federal government to integrate their product with border surveillance cameras so that their newly formed company, later named Clearview AI, could use “face detection” on immigrants entering the United States.
An immigrant to the United States himself, Ton-That grew up in Melbourne and Canberra and claimed to be descended from Vietnamese royalty. At 19, he dropped out of college and, in 2007, moved to San Francisco to pursue a tech career. He later fell in with Silicon Valley neoreactionaries who embraced a far-right, technocratic vision of society. Now Ton-That and his partners wanted to use facial recognition to keep people out of the country. Certain people. Their technology would put that ideology into action.
Clearview had compiled a massive biometric database that would eventually contain billions of images the company scraped off the internet and social media without the knowledge of the platforms or their users. Its AI analyzed these images, creating a “faceprint” for every individual. The company let users run a “probe photo” against its database, and if it generated a hit, it displayed the matching images and links to the websites where they originated. This made it easy for Clearview users to further profile their targets with other information found on those webpages: religious or political affiliation, family and friends, romantic partners, sexuality. All without a search warrant or probable cause.
A diehard Donald Trump supporter, Ton-That envisioned using facial recognition to compare images of migrants crossing the border to mugshots to see if the arrivals had been previously arrested in the United States. His Border Patrol pitch also included a proposal to screen any arrival for “sentiment about the USA.” Here, Ton-That appeared to conflate support for the Republican leader with American identity, proposing to scan migrants’ social media for “posts saying ‘I hate Trump’ or ‘Trump is a puta’” and targeting anyone with an “affinity for far-left groups.” The lone example he offered was the National Council of La Raza, now called UnidosUS, one of the country’s largest Hispanic civil rights organizations.
By the end of Trump’s first presidential term, Clearview had secured funding from right-wing billionaire Peter Thiel, one of Elon Musk’s earliest business partners, and signed up hundreds of law enforcement clients around the country. The company doled out free trials to hook users, urging cops to “run wild” with searches. They did. Many departments then bought licenses to access Clearview’s faceprint database.
Since Clearview’s existence first came to light in 2020, the secretive company has attracted outsize controversy for its dystopian privacy implications. Corporations like Macy’s allegedly used Clearview on shoppers, according to legal records; law enforcement has deployed it against activists and protesters; and multiple government investigations have found federal agencies’ use of the product failed to comply with privacy requirements. Many local and state law enforcement agencies now rely on Clearview as a tool in everyday policing, with almost no transparency about how they use the tech. “What Clearview does is mass surveillance, and it is illegal,” the privacy commissioner of Canada said in 2021. In 2022, the ACLU settled a lawsuit with Clearview for allegedly violating an Illinois state law that prohibits unauthorized biometric harvesting. Data protection authorities in France, Greece, Italy, and the Netherlands have also ruled that the company’s data collection practices are illegal. To date, they have fined Clearview around $100 million.
Clearview’s business model is based on “weaponizing our own images against us without a license, without consent, without permission,” says Albert Fox Cahn, executive director of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project.
In December, Ton-That, the face of Clearview since it was forced from the shadows, quietly stepped down as CEO and took on the role of president. In February, he abruptly resigned his new position, though he retains a board seat. When Mother Jones wrote Ton-That, who is now the chief technology officer at Architect Capital, a San Francisco-based investment firm, with questions for this story, he replied: “There are inaccuracies and errors contained in these assertions. They do not merif [sic] further response.” Ton-That refused to elaborate. Clearview declined to comment.
Replacing him as co-CEOs were Richard Schwartz, a co-founder of the company and a former top aide to Rudy Giuliani, and Hal Lambert, an early Clearview investor who runs a Texas financial firm known for its “MAGA ETF”—an exchange-traded fund that screens companies for their political contributions and buys into those that vigorously back Republicans. A top Trump fundraiser who served on the president’s 2016 inaugural committee, Lambert told Forbes in February that he planned to help the company pursue “opportunities” with the new administration, citing Trump’s mass-deportation agenda and anti-immigration policies.
Clearview is already well positioned to capitalize on Trump’s xenophobic plans. Today, one of the company’s top customers is US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a relationship cemented during Joe Biden’s presidency, as the agency inked bigger deals with the startup. Under the Biden administration, ICE records show, the agency deployed Clearview widely, even as officials there charged with monitoring the technology were in the dark about how it was being used and by whom. As the agency executes Trump’s emboldened mission—“Border Czar” Tom Homan has vowed to unleash “shock and awe” against undocumented immigrants—the dragnet surveillance outlined by Ton-That during the company’s earliest years may already be underway. (ICE did not respond to a request for comment.)
“We were going to use technology to change the whole world to overturn the monetary system,” Thiel said in 2010, explaining the impetus for PayPal, the e-payment company he co-founded with Musk. “The basic idea was that we could never win an election…because we were in such a small minority. But maybe you could actually unilaterally change the world—without having to constantly convince people and beg people and plead with people who were never going to agree with you—through a technological means.” (Thiel did not respond to questions.)
As Ton-That radicalized, he grew friendly with Curtis Yarvin, an intellectual muse to Thiel, Vice President JD Vance, and other prominent right-wingers. Ton-That thought Yarvin was “brilliant” and spoke often and admiringly of “Curtis,” one source told me. The godfather of neoreaction in America, Yarvin (who did not respond to questions) believes democracy is a “dangerous, malignant form of government” and has argued for a soft coup and a purge of civil servants in favor of political loyalists. This “butterfly revolution,” as Yarvin called it in 2022, looks eerily similar to Trump and Musk’s blitzkrieg against the federal bureaucracy.
Neoreaction also led Ton-That to Johnson, a Thiel confidant who ran a far-right site called GotNews that published dirt on Black victims of police violence and Black Lives Matter protesters. “Am a reader of yours, like your work,” Ton-That wrote Johnson in May 2016, asking to be added to a Slack group Johnson had set up around a different project he had launched, WeSearchr, a crowdfunding platform that raised money for neo-Nazis and far-right causes. The Slack group was an online watering hole for a likeminded crowd, according to Peter Duke, another business partner of Johnson’s at the time who participated in the chat and who described it to France 24 in unaired footage.
“When you get to a point where you understand that democracy is fake, then you have to think about different frameworks for the way that people are gonna be ruled,” he said. “What we all had in common when we met was that we thought that neoreactionaryism was an interesting idea…The United States of America was founded on the idea that all men are created equal. And Curtis simply asked a question, as I remember it: ‘What if they’re not? What do you do?…How do you govern that?’…That’s what we talked about all the time.” (Duke declined to answer questions.)
You have to embed kill switches into all of Thiel’s Gestapo shit.
Thirteen former employees of influential data-mining firm Palantir are condemning the company’s work with the Trump administration weeks after Immigration and Customs Enforcement reached a deal to pay Palantir $30 million to provide the agency with “near real-time visibility” into the movement of migrants in the U.S.
In a letter shared exclusively with NPR, the ex-Palantir workers, former software engineers, managers and an employee who worked in the firm’s privacy and civil liberties team, say when they joined the powerful tech company, they believed in its code of conduct stating that its software should uphold democracy and ensure the responsible development of artificial intelligence.
“I’m not someone who says, ‘History will judge them’ — they will have to be judged before then,” Francesca Albanese said in an exclusive interview.
“The fact that the two highest figures of the EU continue business as usual engagements with Israel is beyond deplorable,” Albanese said. “I’m not someone who says, ‘History will judge them’ — they will have to be judged before then. And they will have to understand that immunity cannot equate with impunity.”

Trump’s nominee for under secretary of the Army, Michael Obadal, retired from a career in the Army in 2023, then spent the past two years working for Anduril, the ascendant arms maker with billions of dollars in Army contracts.
If confirmed to the Pentagon post — often described as the “chief operating officer” position at the largest branch of the U.S. military — Obadal plans to keep his stock in Anduril, according to an ethics disclosure reviewed by The Intercept.

KAJTM: Kill Any Jew that Moves —
Fuck the JEWS:
Bruno Maçães: I want to talk about two things. There are two scenarios that everyone is discussing and yet both seem somehow impossible. First, the mass expulsion from Gaza; and second, how to revive the two-state solution or some other way forward. But let me start with the possibility that everyone is very alarmed about: mass expulsion. When I talk to diplomats at the United Nations and in Europe, what they say off the record is quite terrifying: they are convinced that Israel’s war is moving towards something like a mass expulsion of Palestinians. Not the totality of residents in Gaza, but a very high number. There are statements indicating this goal from many ministers in Israel, including the prime minister. On at least two occasions Benjamin Netanyahu has referred to the possibility of “voluntary migration”, as he calls it.
What is your assessment of this possibility? What people tell me, for example at the UN, is that the intentions of the Israeli authorities are almost irrelevant. Just look at the situation on the ground: so many buildings have been destroyed. Conditions are now close to unliveable in Gaza. At what point does the possibility of expulsion or exodus become almost inevitable?
Gideon Levy: Everything you say is true. The only missing part of it is that no one is going to accept them. Who is going to absorb two million Palestinians? Egypt, no; no other Arab country either. There are many other reasons why it shouldn’t happen. It’s illegitimate even to suggest it. I mean, Israel expelled already those people – and their fathers and grandfathers – once from Palestine to Gaza. Who is Israel to decide their future? Gaza is not a sovereign part of Israel. Imagine if Israel were to decide to expel a Jordanian to Iraq. It is so absurd. And the problem is [the whole discourse of expulsion] became normalised. Maybe they cover it up with all kinds of soft presentations like [calling it] a humanitarian solution. It will be “voluntarily”. But I don’t see anyone – and correct me if I’m wrong – I don’t see anyone in the world who is going to absorb two million people.
Jews!
FUCKING JEWS:
I’m still not ready to fully come out and say the 2024 election was definitely hacked yet. But I’m getting close. The evidence is mounting, I’m collecting every piece of data I can get my hands on (unlike the MAGAts, we prefer to have actual evidence before whining that elections were rigged just because they didn’t go our way), and I gotta say…it doesn’t look good.
If I had to lay odds based on what I’ve seen so far, I’d say it’s 80-85% likely the election was hacked and Elon was involved.
That said, this seems like a perfect time to give you another excerpt from The Trumpland Diary about the time Trump attempted to rig a different vote.
From TTD:
Michael Cohen was Trump’s former personal attorney and “fixer.” In 2020, he published a memoir — “Disloyal” — about his time working for Trump. He didn’t make any attempt to whitewash his nefarious roles in a myriad of Trump’s ethically-challenged and morally-dubious undertakings. Including that time they tried to steal a vote…
