I found something unexpected while continuing to research Trump’s domestic military agenda. I found Martin Luther’s 18 Theses.
18=6+6+6. Not funny, Clown World.
Reformation Day

By Shyam Sankar, 31 October 2024
That’s now Lieutenant-Colonel Sankar, Chief Technology Officer for Palantir.
The United States is in an undeclared state of emergency—but if you read this site regularly, you already knew that. At First Breakfast, we’ve been chronicling the brokenness of our Defense Industrial Base for the better part of a year and charting a path back to production and strength.
I nail this treatise to the Pentagon Metro entrance not because I hate the DOD, but because I love America and want us to win again. We’ll need brave, modern-day heretics and heroes to spread this gospel in the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill.
Heretics aren’t heroes, Hindu.
So click through and read the whole thing. Then join the Reformation.

What the mother-loving… I do believe that the Protestant world has just been libeled by Palantir. We must be doing something right after all!
The Defense Reformation
h ttps://www.18theses.com/
Around 2014, Russia annexed Crimea, China militarized the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea, and Iran was allowed to pursue the bomb. A decade later, we have had more than 300 attacks on U.S. bases by Iran, 1,200 people slaughtered in a pogrom in Israel, an estimated 1 million casualties in brutal combat in Ukraine, and an unprecedented tempo of CCP phase zero operations in the Taiwan Straits.
This is a hot Cold War II. The West has empirically lost deterrence. We must respond to this emergency to regain it.
Boo-hoo, Uncle Shlomo ain’t calling the shots no more. As an American, I strongly approve of this. I don’t want an Empire. I want a home.
Go home, Sankar.
Given the vast sums we have spent on defense in these decades of Pax Americana, it would be reasonable to wonder: what went wrong?
Nothing went wrong. John McCain died fat and happy, the NeoCons got the army they needed to murder Russia for the… Nth time… and in fact, business is still brisk at the MIC.
In 1993, after the end of the Cold War, America wanted a Peace Dividend and defense spending was slashed by 67%. The Secretary of Defense held a dinner at the Pentagon — the so-called “Last Supper” — to tell the 51 primes they would not all survive. Today, there are 5.
More like 51 merged into 5. That was the globalist coup of the military under President Clinton. Trump’s military reforms are beginning to come into focus… it’s still the Jewish Civil War at work here.
And they’re invoking Protestant language to explain it.
Actually an interesting chart. Palantir having more market cap with the least employees, as the least arrival says everything about its being an intelligence asset for the bankers who truly rule over the United States. It sure ain’t manufacturing anything in the real world.
But Palantir’s addition will not be the last. Because today the Founders are back — in the hundreds — and they are backed by hundreds of billions of dollars of private capital to build in the national interest. However, their effort and capital alone is not enough to resurrect the American Industrial Base. We need a defense Reformation to upend the Monopsony and transform the way the government does business. Here is my treatise on how to get that done.
The Framers of the Constitution, not the Founders of the Empire, Mister Mystery-meat Pajeet. There’s no way a Brahmin can ever be a “Founder” of America. You are not my people.
He loves the word “monopsony”, as in a market that has only one buyer. That’s hardly true of the Military-Industrial Complex, which is always happy to sell arms sales across the world.
1.Monopsony is the root of what ails us.
The root of our pathology is a lack of competition inside of Defense. Avoid a monopsonistic buyer at all costs by approximating market mechanisms and dynamics as a key principle of the design of the DOD (e.g., the newly created Space Force is a worthy competimate to the NRO).
I see the trick. Sankar & friends want to reimagine the American government as one of many government-customers of the MIC. This is in line with Technocracy ideology of shifting power from governments to expert-staffed corporations.
If America wants to defend her border during a Technocracy, then she’ll have to RENT an army. It’s the same treachery as the closing of the last steel foundry in England. The idea is to make all the world’s governments dependent upon the global marketplace for survival.
That “global marketplace” is set to be either the Chinese “Belt & Road”, or the ZOG Real Estate Empire. Probably both, because the false dilemma trap never gets old.
2.Cost-plus contracting makes the nation dumber, slower, and poorer.
“Elon Musk is how you get things done.”
3.A budget is a plan, and no plan survives first contact.
Feckless rent-seeking! Buy now, pay forever!
4.The person is the program: the primacy of people.
That’s the most perfectly Freemasonic statement of all these 18 Theses.
5.The only requirement is winning.
Several of these Theses are so pointless, they were clearly added only to reach that magic sum of 18.
6.Put the pebble in the right shoe.
Rickover built and operated the subs. He constructed many of the safety standards he would then enforce, and he was “often forced to send letters to himself to request things.” Innovation is a consequence of productivity. If you don’t produce, you can’t innovate. The LLM revolution was inspired by Google’s attempt to improve Google Translate 3% — not by blue sky thinking disconnected from reality.
No, the LLM was not a surprise byproduct of translator software. Pelosi & cronies threw tens of billions of dollars specifically into AI research.
7.Conway’s Law: you ship your org chart.
The problem with Goldwater-Nichols is that it didn’t go far enough.
That bill signed by President Reagan was a counter to post-Vietnam rivalries between the services, partly by requiring deployment org charts to be drawn across service lines and procurement methods to be shared, not service-specific.
The idea, as I’m seeing it take shape, is that the Paypal Mafia intends to become the marketplace/gatekeeper between private industry and the military. It’s just another grift, a painfully obvious one.
8.CCMDs need budget to introduce strategic competition.
Enabling [combat commanders] as the buyers approximates market forces.
Commanders having logistics independent of Congress, greatly reduces those commanders’ loyalty to Congress. What would happen if a carrier group decided to do its own thing? It’d starve quickly… unless their logistics train came from the global marketplace instead of geographic USA.
9.National security is economic prosperity.
MIC-as-a-marketplace again.
10.Make the [legacy Military-Industrial Complex businesses] business-worthy.
MIC-as-a-marketplace again.
11.Risk capital, not taxpayer capital.
Cost-reimbursed independent research and development (IRAD) is an indulgence. It isn’t real R&D. Cost-type contracting enables contractors to play with house money (reimbursed by taxpayers). Private R&D in the commercial world far outstrips government R&D. The 1960s are gone.
“Let the experts do your thinking! In fact, stop thinking at all. That’s our job, consumer!”
12.Small business programs should not be welfare.
The goal of our founder-driven, creatively destructive market system is for small business to get big, not to remain indentured servants. The Department should judge its small business efforts through the lens of market cap creation: wealth for Americans.
Hmm… “not to remain indentured servants”, he says.
13.DOD and its proxy forces must stop competing with industry.
Anduril, Palantir and Oracle intend to become the gatekeepers of military R&D as well as actual products. No nation will be permitted to operate its own military infrastructure.
14.Productivity is more lethal than weapon stockpiles.
We obsess about stockpiles, but stockpiles are irrelevant. Our munition deliveries to Ukraine were Cold War-era kit sitting on shelves collecting dust while decades of innovation occurred. The consumption of 10 years of production in 10 weeks of fighting in Ukraine demonstrated that the rate of production was the actual weapon all along. We must be able to produce everything at speed and scale, we must design requirements and incentives for manufacturability, and we must never stop producing.
Just-in-time logistics, because nothing unexpected ever happens! We… are… SCIENCE!
“Never stop producing” was a call for Eternal War. A Military-Industrial Complex that is constantly producing arms, needs a constant supply of buyers. I once wondered why America once fought its wars with rushed military buildups at the start, followed by sudden collapses at the end. Why did they never have a just-in-case force? I eventually found out the Feds were trying to avoid having a full-time army. They thought having an army always ready to fight a war, would tempt statesmen to incite wars just because they could.
They were very smart, very right statesmen, and I was wrong with my contingency thinking.
The bioweapon people are trying to do the same thing. They’re pushing for a new “Pandemic Response Czar”, an executive office that is ALWAYS activated to respond to pandemics. How will he justify his existence and emergency powers during those long years between naturally-occurring pandemics, one wonders?
15.Reference architectures can’t be created, they emerge.
“Don’t try to find an alternative to the Palantir/Anduril marketplace.”
16.Rule of law works.
Bullshit.
Contractual agreements enable the government to get the protections it wants. Fearmongering that companies will turn off their capabilities when war starts is a tired excuse to exclude commercial companies, protect the legacy Defense Industrial Base, and justify violating FASA. The only companies that have ever tried to own the government’s data are in fact the legacy platform providers whose R&D was financed by the government in the first place. Why does this concern not exist in the commercial market but does in government? Because it isn’t real — there are simple contractual mechanisms to ensure the government has continuity of operations and desired flexibility. Let’s remove the excuse for why Mass must be in Latin with only the Monopsony’s priests delivering the sermon.
“Trust us, U.S. Government. If you get into a war that we or Israel don’t approve of, don’t worry, we won’t refuse to rent you the armies & munitions you will need… like our rivals did!”
Bullshit indeed.
17.Let the people speak to the mission.
Martin Luther taught that the people could ascertain God’s truth directly from the Bible — they didn’t need priests to interpret His meaning. Today, we are told companies building for Defense cannot possibly understand the warfighter and that even the warfighter can’t understand what he really needs, that his needs must be intermediated through the Acquisition’s priestly class. The result is countless Kafkaesque causality dilemmas. You can’t get clearances unless you have a classified contract, but you can’t get clearance unless you are part of the existing class of cleared people. The same is true for SCIF sponsorship and access to classified networks. The priestly class alone decides the timeline and schedule to let a company access the top secret network from its offices (Palantir has been waiting twenty years). There are too many monopolies, and we have long since passed the point where they resembled legitimate security concerns.
Government security clearances are a mess because the system is forced to give the biggest threats the highest clearances. What kind of internal security system gives dual-passport Israelis, foreign-language jihadists and Skull & Bones alumni top-level clearances, while putting the engineering nerds under microscopes? A very messed-up one.
18.Warriors fight with guns and git.
Warfighters need to know how to code, not because they will build industrial strength platforms that industry is delivering (they won’t, not without $10 billion and the nation’s top computer scientists), but because software is the most important and malleable weapon system.
The funny thing about that is, Sankar himself doesn’t know how to code. I’m sure of it. His position at the top requires financial and social skills, and there’s only 24 hours in a day.
The Resurrection of the American Industrial Base
We have prayed at the altar of process for too long. Change is now possible because we all realize there is something worse than change: irrelevance and obsolescence. We have no time to waste in resurrecting the American Industrial Base we depended on in the depths of the Cold War.
It was the American Industrial Base that underwrote American victory and Pax Americana. It can once again if we embrace it as our savior.
One wonders why the Zionists phrased their Technocratic World Order in Protestant language. Are they actually trying to sell this to the Churchians? Do they even need to at this point? Or, are they just mocking Christ because they can? That joke is on Sankar, because most Protestants don’t even remember Martin Luther. We dissidents are the few who even remember enough of our history to be offended by this libel.
Here’s a theory of mine regarding predictive programming. Satan is incapable of creativity. He can only manipulate what already exists. I wonder, then, if the books and movies describing totalitarian dystopia were created because Satan’s minions cannot imagine dystopia for themselves. It programmed them, not us!
The number 666, for example. It does have Kabbalah-numerology significance, but it’s so obscure that it might not have been why God mentioned it. Even today while it’s actually being used, nobody is certain why God picked that number. Therefore, I wonder if the reason the Zionists are tapping into it now…
6uild 6back 6better
6ig 6eautiful 6ill
6+6+6 Theses
…is only because they think they’re supposed to.
They think in terms of word-spells. They think that imitation is invocation. They think symbols carry power. If so, then they are actually constrained by past predictive programming, before they even arrived. Not all of it was produced by evil men; I think particularly of George Orwell and Solzhenitsyn. I wonder if God inspired Technocratic ideas in men, in order to guide the ultimate fate of the wicked in the directions He wanted, decades in advance.
I’ve said it before: now that the Gospel has been preached everywhere, it’s time to choose sides. Nothing says “choosing poorly” like choosing to use the magic number of power that God provided to His enemies, in order to designate them as His enemies.
The wicked are gaining great worldly power but their ability to use it is channeled like water down a pipe. They have no cognitive freedom, no lateral thinking. They follow those past depictions of totalitarianism like a recipe. We dissidents are almost calling the shots at this point. They DO know how the Bible ends, yes? They’re read ALL of eschatology, not just the fun-for-them bits, right?
Does Sankar even know what Luther’s original Theses were about? Luther’s Theses called out the usurer-prince of his age, yet now the Paypal Mafia’s puppet is voluntarily recycling that language. He’s likely doing more to remind his Churchian chumps of their history than anything I could write on my tiny blog.
Methinks Sankar is already trapped in a Black Iron prison of the mind.
How does a guy named Shyam Sankar even know who Martin Luther was?
