Hello John and Doves,
In the first letter titled
"Wide Spread Surveillance in the U.S.", I wrote about
Palantir.
Remember President Trump's
20 point plan for Gaza? Is AI being used to implement
this plan - using AI companies Palantir and Dataminr (an AI platform for real-time
event, threat and risk intelligence)? This
may be going on right now.
Palantir's Maven Smart
System has been used for mass surveillance, immigration
enforcement and by the Israeli military for targeting in
Gaza.
In this article, the Maven
Smart System (MSS) was assembled by Palantir for the US
Department of Defense. MSS is being integrated into
the U.S. Air Force, the Marines, the Army.
Maven Smart
System (Palantir/Peter Thiel):
Maven Smart System "pulls in
data from multi-domain sensor feeds, packaging it into a
common, searchable app for commanders and support groups."
"The trials concluded with
the military confirming the AI's function to "accelerate
decision advantage through the development of a resilient,
data-driven and automated kill chain."
"The goal? To see how
the platform could reduce cognitive burden in a "Find, Fix,
Track, Target, Engage and Assess" process, while showing how
AI inputs and human decisions can work hand in hand."
This software is to help
"warfighters to make faster decisions on which threats to
engage first in active combat zones."
And in May, 2025, the U.S.
Army spent $480M for the MSS.
And in this September 2025
article, the U.S. Marines have latched on to MSS also.
"Palantir can't be
stopped. On Wednesday, the defense and intelligence
software giant with a $395 BILLION market cap won a contract
to provide "all Marines - from tactical units within the
Fleet Marine Fore to the Supporting Establishment - with
access to Palantir's Maven Smart System.."
What is the Maven Smart System?:
Maven Smart System is a
"cutting-edge tool that represents the future of military
operations. With its AI-driven approach to targeting
and logistics, MSS offers unprecedented efficiency,
flexibility and operational capability." It will
"ensure readiness and superiority in the modern
battlefield."
It is the integration of AI
and machine learning (ML) to "revolutionize targeting and
logistics operations for the U.S. Army." This is now
actively deployed within US Central Command.
To do what took 2,000
soldiers in Operation Iraqi Freedom, will take 20 with MSS.
Targeting data can be
processed in under a minute - commercial satellite imagery
and algorithms identify and engage targets.
AI and ML can work together
and "rapidly assess the battlespace, gather vast amounts of
data and analyze it to identify and prioritize
targets. This system significantly reduces the time
and manpower required for targeting operations."
It will be further tested in
a U.S.-Japanese military exercise in 2026.
"What started as a computer vision tool is now
deeply embedded in the way the U.S. Department of Defense
makes decisions about targeting, drone strikes, and
battlefield operations. And it's not just spotting
trucks - it's shaping who and what gets targeted, with
increasing influence and little transparency."
Maven began as an Algorithmic Warfare
Cross-Functional Team - to help analysts sift through
massive volumes of drone surveillance footage. The
data coming in from drones and satellites was impossible
to keep up with. So Maven was developed to identify
objects, track movement and flag potential threats in real
time. It's since moved on to "feeding into drone
operations and real-time battlefield
decision-making." P
Palantir "offers a modular platform that connects
real-time surveillance data with algorithmic detection and
operational dashboards - allowing analysts and commanders
to ingest, prioritize, and act on intelligence much faster
than before."
"Maven is no longer experimental. It's
operational - and expanding."
Maven now plays a "crucial role in what the
military calls the "kill chain"." "In practice, the
AI doesn't just highlight the threats - its frames the
battlefield....According to military insiders, the speed
and scale of data ingestion mean Maven has become the
first filter through which decisions flow." Humans
remain in the loop - BUT often after the AI has defined
the loop's parameters." These is such a thing as
"automation bias". And there is the 'AI Black Box
Battlefield' - where a scenario occurs or a person is
targeted that no one can fully explain - flawed outputs
can lead to lethal mistakes.
Maven has been used in live operations in Iraq,
Syria, Afghanistan..."to support kill decisions"...in many
cases these decisions are made in seconds."
"Maven isn't launching the missile. But it
may be deciding where we look - and who we see as the
enemy."
"Without clear auditing requirements, external
oversight or ethical governance mechanisms, Project Maven
isn't just tool. It's an unaccountable actor in the
most consequential decisions a state can make: who lives
and who dies."
What Does MSS
actually do?:
"Aggregates diverse data
streams, including satellite imagery, drone feeds, radar,
communications metadata, geolocation data and more."
"Machine learning (ML) can
identify points of interest, from military vehicles to
patterns of activity, allowing a few dozen soldiers to do
the boring battlefield data analysis that hundreds or
thousands used to do in ages past."
"Presents fused data and ML
outputs to commanders and analysts on a straightforward user
interface that supports the visualization of targeting
options, logistics, personnel locations and whole lot more."
It "enables rapid
sensor-to-shooter engagements through a fully digital
workflow, leveraging automation and AI-driven tools for
advanced target management." Faster decision-making
follows enhanced intelligence, targeting and battlespace
awareness."
NATO also acquired MSS in
April 2025.
Is Maven Smart
System Being Used in Gaza?:
"A new report reveals how
Palantir and Dataminr (an AI platform for real-time event,
threat and risk intelligence) are embedded in the US-Israeli
post-war plan for Gaza, using AI systems to shape security
and civilian control."
Palantir and Dataminr have
been "integrated into the newly established so-called
Civil-Military Coordination Center - a US run operational
hub in the southern occupied territories where Washington
and Israeli occupation officials are coordinate the
implementation of Trump's 20-point plan for Gaza.
A Maven Field Service
representative from Palantir has been assigned to this
Civil-Military Coordination Center. This center is
located about 20 km from Gaza's separation wall and houses
some 200 US military personnel. Project Maven is
helping to "detect and flag targets automatically".
Project Maven "integrates
intelligence from satellites, drones, spy planes,
intercepted communications and online platforms into an
AI-powered battlefield platform designed to accelerate
decision-making, including airstrikes. Palantir
executives have described the system as "optimizing the kill
chain" and it has previously been used in US attacks in
Yemen, Syria and Iraq." This AI helps "accelerate
decisions about "who to target" with minimal human
oversight."
This article wonders if the
'families, women, children, elderly, were killed in strikes
guided by AI-based training systems.
Maven and Datminr "can map
connections between civilians and militant groups, compile
lists of those to be detained or killed in military
operations and monitor the movement and communications of
Palestinians en-masse. Datminr was used in the U.S.by
police departments to surveil protestors in BLM, Palestine,
abortion, etc. protests that involved hot topics.
The articles I found about
Palantir and Dataminr in Gaza are about 'the genocide', 'the
occupiers', etc. Very anti-Israel and anti-Trump. IF
this technology is indeed being used to remove terrorists,
Hamas, etc in Gaza then good. I suspect the articles of Maven in Gaza are
true. And it will be used to clean out Hamas and
control the people as President Trump's 20 point plan is
implemented.
Conclusion:
AI's integration into
warfare is irreversible and growing exponentially.
There are advantages to this technology but AI could also
lead to catastrophic failures.
It's easy to see how this
AI-technology can be used for evil.
And in 'the wrong hands' it
could be turned on the American people. Your social
media posts, your emails, your texts, your affiliations with
various organizations, like your church membership, your
spending habits, your financial status, your health records,
could all put you on a list. It's easy to see how
someone like the AC could use this to get everyone either
marked or executed.
Pray for the peace of
Jerusalem!
Maranatha!
