What coked up fuck monkey decided an agent of an unstable nation state threatening a NATO ally should have top security clearance???

All western governments are infiltrated with Nazi's. Our secret police (aka "intelligence") are the greatest attack vector of every democracy, and they're all being overrun by Nazi-run corporations hell bent on constructing big brother for fascism.

We're screwed. I mean we were always a vassal state, but this is the worst time to be digging further in with the unstable, failing empire.

Oh, so screwed...

The assessment enables a broader range of Australian government agencies and commercial organisations to use Palantir’s Foundry and artificial intelligence platform, AIP.

I really, really hope there are some smart patriotic people in our military and public service that have developed a backup command and control system independent of the US.

Hopefully we will never need such a thing but with a President who isn't fit for office threatening NATO and Canada it would be prudent to have well developed credible alternatives even as we play the game of placating and ingratiating ourselves with the US leadership and their cronies.

Seems like a bad choice.

...yet our foreign interference concerns seem to be limited to panicking about things like "cybersecurity risks in Chinese-built electric buses".

I wonder who the independent third party assessor was. Based on nothing I'm guessing ~~KPMG~~ PwC.
