Dude. Have you ever heard of Project Paperclip? German (many former Nazi) immigrants developed the rockets used for the moon shot (and for weapons).

I mean, we did give all those German scientists citizenship. So he's not exactly lying - he's just omitting an awful lot of context.

In March, President Trump signed an executive order calling for the federal government to share data across agencies, raising questions over whether he might compile a master list of personal information on Americans that could give him untold surveillance power.

Mr. Trump has not publicly talked about the effort since. But behind the scenes, officials have quietly put technological building blocks into place to enable his plan. In particular, they have turned to one company: Palantir, the data analysis and technology firm.

The Trump administration has expanded Palantir’s work across the federal government in recent months. The company has received more than $113 million in federal government spending since Mr. Trump took office, according to public records, including additional funds from existing contracts as well as new contracts with the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon. (This does not include a $795 million contract that the Department of Defense awarded the company last week, which has not been spent.)

Representatives of Palantir are also speaking to at least two other agencies — the Social Security Administration and the Internal Revenue Service — about buying its technology, according to six government officials and Palantir employees with knowledge of the discussions.…”

I’m absolutely shocked Yates County, NY is on the list. Our summer cottage is located there and that is big time Trump country.

Also surprised Mecklenburg, NC is not on there.

Aren’t there lots of Mennonites in the area? Especially in/around Penn Yan?

Mennonites generally support sanctuary.

I was surprised about Mecklenburg but the initial NC list seems focused on college towns (+Chatham as part of the Durham/Orange communist bloc I guess). They reserve right to expand the list over time.

Lots of Mennonites (about 20% of the population). But they don’t get involved in politics or government. They have virtually no political impact on the community.

In our halcyon days, Protestants didn't much, either. I guess portraying human rights as a political movement instead of an obligation to humanity and the Constitution gave them an excuse for changing.

So time very disappointed in that way. With that being said, I’d like to see it end. …”
