The Wall Between Private Power & Public Force is Being Bulldozed
Did you all see this? On Friday, June 13th, Silicon Valley Executives were Sworn In as U.S. Army Lt. Colonels.
YES, you read that right: LIEUTENANT COLONELS—despite ZERO
traditional military training and then bypassing 16 ranks of career soldiers.
Friday the 13th, June 2025, marked the formation of Detachment 201: The Army’s Executive Innovation Corps, where executives from PALANTIR, META and OpenAI were handed shiny new uniforms and one of the highest officer ranks in the Army Reserve. (Detachment 201 reminds me of Event 201)
This move gives Big Tech insiders MILITARY-LEVEL ACCESS to CLASSIFIED PROJECTS—without ANY of the painful security clearance process it requires.
What does it mean when the people that are building the surveillance infrastructure in America, are also given command rank in the U.S. military?
It means the wall between private power and public force is being bulldozed—in broad daylight.
This isn’t about efficiency—IT'S ABOUT CONTROL. And they just put it inside a uniform.
