    Apparently responding to the widespread anti-Semitism that has ballooned on campus since the Hamas massacre of 1,200 Israelis on October 7, Palantir Technologies, the data analytics company co-founded by billionaire investor and entrepreneur Peter Thiel, announced on Thursday that they would set aside 180 positions for Jewish students who "fear for their safety on campus and need to seek refuge outside traditional establishments of higher education."

    Palantir's action follows a day after the presidents of Harvard University, UPenn, and MIT all dodged the question of whether calling on their campuses for the genocide of Jews constituted bullying and harassment, citing the need for "context."

    "We at Palantir have been committed to defending the principles that make democratic rule possible since our founding two decades ago," Palantir wrote. "Our software embodies our values and commitments. These include high performance, efficiency, transparency, fairness, and a rejection of narrow thinking, including fear and skepticism of the other and outright bigotry"

    "We believe that these values must be backed up by actions on the battlefield, intellectual and otherwise, given the egregious levels of antisemitism in our society, especially at our most elite educational institutions," the company continued. "Some of these organizations seem structurally incapable of taking any steps to reform themselves. Students on campuses are terrified and have been instructed by administrators to hide their Judaism."

    Then the company announced their offer: "We are launching an initiative for students who because of antisemitism fear for their safety on campus and need to seek refuge outside traditional establishments of higher education. They are welcome to join Palantir, and we are setting aside 180 positions for them immediately. More details to follow shortly."

    On December 2, Alex Karp, the CEO of Palantir Technologies, ripped into companies that had stayed silent after the October 7 massacre. Speaking at the Reagan National Defense Forum, Karp slammed the companies for their "abysmal failure at standing up to people who are anti-American, who are breathing the vapors of a thin new religion at elite schools."

    "As far as I can tell, there are only three companies that have been publicly pro-Israel on Oct. 7," he said, including Palantir, Booz Allen, and Anduril Industries."

    "Like, somehow the corporate elite of this country thinks when it's time to make money, you stand up. And when it's time to stand up, you go play golf. And like, we've got to change that. That's our fault, that's no one else's fault," he added.

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?
  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.
  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.
  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?
