Sauron: *looking into Pippin’s mind through the Palantir*

Sauron: the fuck is this

[oldschoolfrp]

Saruman the White ponders his palantír. "You are the trusted apprentice to one of the greatest Wizards in all Middle-earth" in A Spy in Isengard (Angus McBride cover art for Middle-earth Quest gamebook #1 by Terry K Amthor, Iron Crown Enterprises, 1988). McBride has been memed more than once.

The Tolkien estate will hassle people about using pictures online that they think they own, but won't hire me to place a curse on the billionaire who stole the word palantir for his shitty surveillance tech firm. My rates are very competitive, they're just cowards.

The mightiest and proudest was Ar-Pharazôn the Golden of all those that had wielded the Sceptre of the Sea-Kings since the foundation of Númenor; and four and twenty Kings and Queens had ruled the Númenóreans before, and slept now in their deep tombs under the mount of Meneltarma, lying upon beds of gold. And sitting upon his carven throne in the city of Armenelos in the glory of his power, he brooded darkly, thinking of war. For he had learned in Middle-earth of the strength of the realm of Sauron, and of his hatred of Westernesse.

It’s a Psyop. They always tell you what they’re doing

Palantir aired this commercial of drones being released from ships during the Army vs Navy game… What are the odds!!

Palantir has Government contracts including

- The U.S. Department of State

- The U.S. Army for developing next-generation intelligence ground station

- US. military branches for projects like the Maven Smart System, which extends AI targeting tools to military personnel

- They even have contracts with the NIH

- Air Force

- CDC

- Space Systems Command

Palantir has an EXTENSIVE involvement with US government agencies. What are the odds they just happen to release a drone video. 🤔

Things the Palantiri AREN'T;

able to see the future

inherently corrupt or corrupting

mind invasion doohickies

physically controlled, you do not need to touch one to use it

something you go too for prophetic visions of any kind

dangerous objects that Gandalf needs to fuss over

Things the Palantiri ARE;

capricious little beasts who play favouritism (no I won't work properly for you Sauron you aren't my dad)

technically able to see anything from any distance away and through any barrier no matter how thick unless it's too dark

able to connect to each other and do video but NOT audio skyping

able to save those skype calls on-device so you can go back and look at them later

Possibly can give you super hearing if you use them enough (???)

neat

Once you go down the Thiel rabbit hole you will understand why so many are concerned about his connection to Trump, JD Vance and Elon Musk.

This meme barely scratches the surface.

Theory: the palantír that Al-Pharazôn touched to see who Sauron really is, is the same one that will come to be in Saruman's possession

[erkhyan]

Tolkien: “These powerful items were meant for communication. Everyone who has tried to use one for surveillance has turned into a paranoid wreck who eventually did far more harm than good.”

Tech bros looking for a name for their business selling surveillance to paranoid wrecks: “Oooooh, baby! ♥”

Damn it, not again!

*talking on the Palantir* Aredhel: Remember how I said that Celegorm, Curufin and I were gonna have a calm night out for once? Turgon: Yeah… Aredhel: Well, we’re in jail. Turgon: *hangs up*
