This devastating report sounds a lot like Palantir.

A drone start-up backed by the US tech billionaire Peter Thiel has conducted two trials with British and German armed forces that were branded a “disaster”, raising questions about its bold public claims and its hopes of winning government contracts.

Attack drones produced by Berlin-based Stark failed to hit a single target during four attempts at two separate exercises this month with the British army in Kenya and the German army near the town of Munster, in Lower Saxony, according to four people familiar with the trials.

If history is any guide, this means the Peter Thiel-backed company with drones that fail every test will become highly valued and maybe even a darling of Wall Street.

The U.S. Army warned in 2012 that Palantir didn’t work at all—and they were right. Yet look at the wild success that followed failure, proving the actual customer doesn’t matter, experts be damned.

The extremist ACTS 17 preacher work of Thiel suggests disinformation is an intentional success strategy: cultivating high-level adherents and billionaire investors regardless of product performance or reality.

Thiel companies succeed despite devastating product failure through cultivating certain high-powered believers.

The real question is who in Britain and Germany are being targeted by Thiel—which military leaders are in scope to be taken in by this new ACTS 17 (political extremist) operation?
