Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel wrote an essay titled “Competition Is for Losers.” His advice to founders? Build a monopoly.
So Palantir’s deal with Canada’s military was sole-sourced. Twelve quiet amendments took it from $14M to $63M.
Why is his company in our military? A UN Special Rapporteur accused it of profiting from the genocide in Gaza. It builds ICE’s deportation software, and its AI helps pick targets for US airstrikes.
A monopoly on a military’s intelligence software means the state can’t walk away, can’t compare prices, and can’t say no.
Canada’s been there for six years. Sole-sourced, 12 amendments, no alternative ready.
