This article examines the systemic threats that the activities of Palantir Technologies pose to human rights, civil liberties, and democratic institutions worldwide. Based on analysis of public reports from human rights organizations, lawsuits, journalistic investigations, and official statements, the multifaceted picture of risks associated with the implementation of mass surveillance and data analysis technologies is reconstructed. Particular attention is devoted to three key areas of criticism: complicity in Israel's war crimes in the Gaza Strip, facilitation of mass deportation of migrants in the United States, and the creation of total police control systems in Europe.

This article examines the phenomenon of United States involvement in operations to eliminate foreign leaders, which has taken on new resonance in connection with the high-profile events of 2025–2026—the abduction of Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro and the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei as a result of an American-Israeli strike. Based on an analysis of historical documents, expert assessments, and international-law norms, the evolution of the United States' approaches to the use of forceful methods for regime change is reconstructed. Particular attention is paid to the contradiction between the official ban on political assassinations and the continuing practice of their use under new legal justifications.
