Recent interactions with the mods on the pizzagate subverse piqued my interest in the question of who runs voat ? Well , some voaters think it might be Peter Thiel and Palantir. (See : https://voat.co/v/pizzagatewhatever/2102512))
So, I revisited a couple of Palantir articles. Like this one: Palantir Connects the Dots with Big Data Archived : http://archive.is/z80ZW
It was a humanitarian project that first introduced Palantir to the U.K. division of Spain’s Santander Bank. In 2015, both companies signed on to a charity-funded initiative to look into connections between illicit financial networks and global human-trafficking rings. The initiative didn’t materialize—British restrictions on information sharing among banks got in the way—but Palantir’s software impressed Santander chief operating officer Juan Maria Olaizola. “You can say that we went from a blind date to marriage in less than six months,” says Olaizola.
Today Santander is using Palantir’s tools to figure out whether their customers are up to anything nefarious. Palantir’s analytics software can harness the bank’s proprietary data and match it against public information to check whether customers have been connected to bad acts, past or present. That “public information” typically includes criminal databases, huge streams of data from social media, and a variety of other sources. (These sources are the stuff that privacy advocates’ nightmares are made of, and Palantir and its clients uniformly decline to talk about them with specificity.) In theory, Santander or any other customer could perform this checking itself, but it would need to find engineers with the right expertise and spend a long time building code—a potentially ineffective and time-consuming process. Thanks to the effort Palantir put into Gotham and Metropolis, it has the talent and data ready to roll.
A question/riddle for Hampstead aficionados - Who used to work for Santander ?
Another riddle - How are Hampstead and Voat connected ?

I can see these connections clear as day considering my interest in the Hampstead Children's case. It was alleged that there are several million shell corporations listed in homes owned on the Hampstead, and that old Dearman himself was keenly aware of these emerging data markets as a prospective potential tool for his porn businesses.

Thank you for your work.
Sometimes seems like a mountain of work.
I read all your contributions.

I've been wondering for a while now if dear old Royal Arch mason Will Draper is related to American VC billionaire Tim Draper http://uk.reuters.com/article/us-tezos-blockchain-draper/exclusive-billionaire-investor-draper-to-participate-in-blockchain-token-sale-for-first-time-idUKKBN181250
I strongly suspect he is.
Then, I've recently found this..apparently Tim is a freemason too and has been to the UK, the regions where there is a string contingent of Drapers (the family goes way, way back)..Magical mystery tour in aid of Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research
This Tim Draper is not the same one as the American VC https://companycheck.co.uk/company/06194519/TIM-DRAPER-LIMITED/companies-house-data

Don't know the above connects them but in terms of social media & forums look up TIA or Total Information Awareness.

I was being a bit coy in the above post. But, they are all connected, believe me.

Thank you. I wasn't aware of the term. That makes complete sense.
