"The Metropolitan Police investigation into Peter Mandelson over the leaking of sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein has established an unambiguous principle: those who seek to compromise the UK’s secrets to a foreign intelligence-linked sexual predator forfeit their access to power.

Mandelson was sacked as US Ambassador, has resigned his membership of the Labour Party, and has been forced to quit the House of Lords over ongoing revelations about his relationship to Epstein.

He now faces potential criminal charges for misconduct in public office.

Yet, the same convicted sex offender who received state secrets from Mandelson, was simultaneously a “co-owner” through a significant limited partnership investment of a Silicon Valley venture fund controlled by Peter Thiel – the billionaire founder of defence analytics giant Palantir Technologies, which now holds more than £670 million in UK Government contracts spanning nuclear weapons systems, NHS patient records, Ministry of Defence operations, and police intelligence databases.

More than 100 documents from the files released by the US Department of Justice, seen by Byline Times, reveal that Thiel personally solicited and maintained a business partnership with Epstein that stretched from 2014 through 2019, all the way up to Epstein’s final arrest.

During this period, Epstein was a “co-owner” of Thiel’s Valar fund..."

"Embedding Palantir into the UK’s most critical and sensitive systems represents an urgent national security risk precisely because its chairman, Peter Thiel, was a co-owner with a convicted sex offender operating as a vector for malign foreign influence, through whom he cultivated his own connections to senior Russian officials.

This is not a company that shares Britain’s values. It is a company controlled by a billionaire who actively partnered with a Russian intelligence-linked sex trafficker, and granted access to Britain’s most sensitive systems by a lobbying firm whose founder had compromised himself to that very same trafficker.

The British government moved swiftly to sever Mandelson’s ties underscores the extent to which his secretive intimate relationship with Epstein posed an ongoing national security threat.

The logic that removed Mandelson must now be applied to Palantir. Britain’s nuclear weapons programme, NHS patient data, military operations, and police intelligence should not be controlled by a company whose founder was Jeffrey Epstein’s business partner."
