“If that’s your concept of the future, where nation-states are going to be, at the very least, subservient to the new tech reality, what do you need? You need kind of this digital police state that everyone’s going to have to live in. And that’s where you bring in Palantir.”

Throughout the history of comedy, the comedians who have stood out the most—figures like George Carlin come to mind—have used humor as a tool to speak truth to power.

In an early June episode (#447) of the Tim Dillon Show, comedian Dillon was unafraid to tackle head-on the Trump administration’s build-out of a control grid and the prominent yet “shadowy” role played by Palantir.

Describing the DOGE team’s “grabbing [of] sensitive information” from government agencies, the hundreds of millions awarded to Palantir to “compile a list of everything you’ve ever done,” and the overlap between DOGE and Palantir personnel, Dillon rhetorically asked, “Does that sound like the deep state is going away?”

Dillon also noted the actions taken to facilitate the merger of data across federal databases, warning: “Pay attention! Health. Taxes. Financial information…. This has got to be stopped dead in its tracks.”

In a clip from his show (18:35-21:00) posted on X, Dillon predicted that the deep state is going to start “purchasing” influencers, podcasters, and YouTubers, suggesting that those who allow themselves to be bought off will start casting the Palantir list in a positive light and marketing it as a “good idea.” They will say (25:16),

What’s so bad about somebody knowing everything you’ve ever done? And that person being the CIA. Why don’t you want the CIA knowing everything you’ve ever spent money on or contributed to or eaten or every disease you’ve ever had?”

Dillon noted his distrust of “tech people” who say one thing but generally mean another. In the clip on X, he added, “If you don’t have any reservations about Palantir taking everyone’s information…, I don’t know if I can trust you.”

For a reminder of what the administration and Palantir are doing to construct a digital slavery system, refer to our checklist of Trump administration actions to date—we are continually adding updates.

    1. It was late when I first tried to watch him, and he made a very believable a-hole, so I turned the video off. But then today I watched the interview and was impressed with how he didn’t fall into confrontation, but held his own. Then I went back and watched the entire initial interview. Act he can, and it got me laughing. It was so interesting how he caught Rogan and Patel doing the three stooges act, plus zeroed in on how the end game of the violence then pulls in the deepening of the security state (currently Palantir). Solari is constantly putting me in touch with venues I would not naturally come across.

      1. His podcast, more than his standup, is pure sarcasm. He is absolutely brilliant in both formats, and if you’re a Carlin fan (Seven Deadly Words, etc.) I bet you’ll enjoy seeing the parallels in the social commentary between the two; they actually have similar backgrounds (NYC region Irish Catholics).

        Carlin was more eloquent, but Tim’s sobered up and still has time to get there!

    2. Carlin was a master wordsmith . . . but Tim is starting to define himself as a savage critic of the narrative.

    3. No one is! If you look at where he operates, his presentation takes great courage and for me, very well done.

  1. Tim’s super analytical and financially savvy. He’s breaking through to a lot of people who might’ve otherwise checked out from current affairs.

    His recent CNN interview really demonstrates that; the interviewer was likely one of the stable of CIA plants in that outlet, but she completely bombed in trying to fault his arguments against the narrative, by the end, she almost seemed like her meds were kicking in a little too hard. Not actually that funny, but good watching.

      1. Yes! The first 60 seconds alone had me chuckling. Carlin he is not, certainly, but his wit is at least as sharp, even if he lacks George’s kind of elegance.

        He, more than Carlin, has the kind of subtley scathing delivery that could shame the most rotten-minded of Mr. Global’s kids into rebellion. Tim gets what the central bankers are doing enough to lay it out for a younger audience, I love seeing his velocity increase.

  2. Tim is a king. I’ve been a Rothschild level patron of his for years over on Patreon. Highly recommended.

  3. Very interesting to note his podcast from today. Something has clearly happened to him since last week- he is now obviously shilling for TBTB. It’s unreal the shift. I have been a huge fan of his for years. Even saw him live in 2021. Something was WAY off today- someone got to him. Read the comments under today’s YouTube video- unprecedented vitriol towards him, from his own fans, as the change is radical. I am beginning to lose my state of amusement.
