Robert Steele: Palantir – Enough Already

IO Impotency

I keep hearing about people buying into Palantir as a “solution” for past mistakes. I do not recommend Palantir to anyone, and certainly not to multi-billion dollar companies that ought to know better.  The best advice I can give any major company thinking about its sad existing IT infrastructure is this: first get the truth on the table, and then lead an industry-wide open source solution. The people who created the legacy mistakes are not the people that are going to admit their mistakes, nor are they the people best qualified to clean house and start over.

Slowly grind the mills of justice …  It is now more than ten years ago that the vaccine establishment came after Andrew Wakefield and John Walker Smith and raked them over hot coals for saying that perhaps the MMR vaccine had something to do with the intestinal trouble many kids seemed to be having. The court decision to exonerate John Walker Smith should, in my view, invalidate the whole case before the UK's medical board. So vindication it is, although a legal action that is mentioned in the article was not successful. Andrew Wakefield could not start a case in the US as intended.
