It’s a remarkable story, where the professor exposed the extent to which her university was selling out.

…in early 2025, university administrators told her that she could “not continue with her research into supply chains and forced labour in China”.

She initiated legal action against the university for failing in its duty to protect her academic freedom and she submitted a “subject access request” demanding Sheffield Hallam hand over any relevant internal documents.

The documents she obtained showed the university “had negotiated directly with a foreign intelligence service to trade my academic freedom for access to the Chinese student market,” she told the BBC.

She added: “I’d never seen anything quite so patently explicit about the extent to which a university would go to ensure that they have Chinese student income.”

Palantir, under the influence of American ACTS 17 extremist preacher Peter Thiel, shows a different tactic being used against Koreans.

The anti-democratic private intelligence firm tells high-school kids to drop and instead take “teachings” in line with Thiel’s father, who fled Germany in 1968 specifically to block the college movement and education of Peter.

These lesser educated and therefore lower income kids are then feted by Palantir as better off for it. A foreign intelligence service is telling kids to trade academic freedom for access to fast money.

Imagine if China, like this Palantir plot, had instead paid students in a foreign country not to go to University, and instead take shock doctrine authoritarian propaganda courses.

Mateo Zanini, 18, gave up entering Brown University, a prestigious Ivy League school in the United States, and chose the Palantir internship. Zanini was notified of acceptance to the internship almost at the same time as his acceptance to Brown. At the time, he had already secured a full scholarship from the Ministry of National Defense.

Zanini told the New York Times, “No one told me to do this fellowship,” and “friends, teachers, even college counselors unanimously said, ‘Don’t do it.’”

Indeed. Don’t do it.

The UK professor wouldn’t have had a case against this far more insidious and destructive foreign intelligence operation to undermine the free thought of higher education.

Palantir, like China, doesn’t want kids taught the usual things that would make them hate… Palantir like China.
