    Full text of reddit post:

    I’ll keep this short because I’m genuinely fuming.

    I work in tech so I know companies hoard data. But this one hit different.

    I know a doctor who mentioned to me that Palantir, the American surveillance company that worked with ICE and the NSA, now has access to “operational data” from our NHS. I thought… that can’t include patient records, right?

    Turns out, under the Federated Data Platform contract, Palantir gets access to pseudonymised patient data across all of England. Read this: Medact - Briefing: Concerns Regarding Palantir Technologies and NHS Data Systems

    That means my GP visits, my prescriptions, my hospital stays, all of it, flowing through their systems. There’s no consent screen. No checkbox. No “opt out of sharing with a US defence contractor”. Just a quiet government deal worth £330 million.

    And here’s the bit that made my blood boil: NYC’s public hospitals just dropped Palantir because of activist pressure. NYC hospitals were sharing private health data with Palantir. And they still walked away.

    But the UK? We’re doubling down. Palantir now has over half a billion pounds in UK contracts… MoD, FCA, police forces, even bloody councils.

    I tried to find out if I can request my data from Palantir. You can’t. They’re not a “healthcare provider” so GDPR gets weird. But they definitely have a digital shadow of me sitting on their servers.

    How is this legal? And what happens when Palantir gets bought by someone worse, or when a hacker breaches their systems, or when the government decides “operational data” suddenly includes names and addresses?

    Because “trust us” didn’t work for Google, for Facebook, or for any of the other companies that promised not to be evil.

    I’m genuinely considering a subject access request to my NHS trust just to see what they have on me

    spoiler

    Mere hours before Trump’s 8pm Tuesday deadline yesterday, Pakistan’s government contacted Iran with a US-written proposal for a two-week ceasefire, explicitly stated to also include Lebanon, during which they would negotiate a permanent end to the war on the basis of Iran’s 10 Points. Among other things, these points include 1) maintaining strict control (joint with Oman) over Hormuz, complete with a toll; 2) the end of sanctions on Iran; 3) keeping their enriched uranium; 4) a withdrawal of US forces from the Middle East [stated by the Supreme Leadership Council but not in the 10 Points, so who knows], and 5) some plausible guarantee that Iran would never be attacked again. I’ve heard rumors that China may have prodded Iran to accept these terms.

    In theory, these are relatively confident and maximalist demands. In practice, Iran has already achieved military and economic control over Hormuz and the withdrawal of many US troops and bases from the region, so at least a few of Iran’s demands are, to a greater or lesser extent, already achieved, and with little hope for an increasingly exhausted US to undo these achievements short of nukes.

    A couple hours after the ceasefire, the Zionist entity began a wave of airstrikes in Lebanon, killing hundreds of civilians, as well as flying drones into Iranian airspace. This was a strange move to make even if you assume - very sensibly - that the US is completely agreement non-capable: why not agree to the ceasefire and simply pretend to negotiate for two weeks while regrouping/repairing what assets you can and then start hitting Iran again?

    One theory is that the Zionists are testing to what degree Iran is actually willing to have solidarity with Lebanon and Hezbollah. While the Resistance has been relatively united since October 7th, the formation of separate peaces instead of negotiating terms as a united front has been a major exploitable weakness. Alternatively, it’s been proposed that the US didn’t even consider using the ceasefire to regroup and deceive Iran, and that Trump merely wanted a way to chicken out of his threat on Iran’s electrical grid - the fact that US officials have since stated that Iran’s 10 Points were not the same ones they agreed to is a point supporting this, I suppose. If the conflict resumes and Trump does not deliver another 48 hour deadline (and/or makes it something silly like a month from now) then this could be the explanation.

    From Iran, I am getting the sense that a lot is happening behind the scenes. Statements from top officials like Araghchi have stated quite plainly that there will be no ceasefire and no negotiations unless the Zionists stop attacking Lebanon, but as of ~24 hours after the ceasefire began, there has been no significant military response from Iran yet. There have apparently been phone calls between Araghchi and numerous regional officials, but it is unknown to what end. All the while, the global economic situation continues to deteriorate. Over the next week or two, the last tankers that left Hormuz before it closed will arrive at their destinations. If the missile exchanges begin once more, then the West, much like most of the rest of the world, will be experiencing all sorts of fuel, energy, food, and product shortages while trying to justify why they broke the ceasefire to kill more Lebanese civilians.

    I don’t have much to add from the last megathread description. This isn’t to say that nothing has happened or has changed since then - decades are still happening in weeks - but the general flow of the war is remaining the same. Trump sometimes threatens to open the Strait with troops and flatten Iran to rubble, and other times threatens that he’s gonna back off and let other countries handle it if they really want little trifles like “fuel” and “energy” so much. Iran continues to strike across the Middle East. The West continues to bomb civilian infrastructure due to their relative inability to affect the missile cities. In all: things are generally getting worse for America and the Zionists.

    April is the month where the last ships that left Hormuz before it was closed will arrive around the world, so the last month of economic turmoil has been a mere prelude to what’s going to occur in the near-future. The silver lining is that Iran appears to be formalizing the new state of affairs in Hormuz, creating a rial-based toll to allow passage between a pair of Iranian-controlled islands where they can be monitored, meaning that, as long as the US doesn’t do something exceptionally stupid, the global energy crisis may “only” last a couple years instead of simply being the new reality from now on. Some countries have already agreed to this arrangement, and others will inevitably follow despite their consternation as their economies increasingly suffer.

    from https://lemmygrad.ml/post/11103468/7986806 (@MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net):

    The United States conducted a strenuous test of the Long Range Hypersonic Weapon /Dark Eagle and it’s common hypersonic glide body last week. The test involved two significant sharp turns at hypersonic speeds within the earth’s atmosphere, a 10° turn 600 km after launch, and a 30° turn 1400km after launch, after gliding for already over 800km at hypersonic speeds after the previous turn. This shows the advantage maneuverable hypersonic glide vehicles and hypersonic weapons in general offer over ballistic missiles, even ballistic missiles with maneuverable re-entry vehicles. You can see the two plotted turns here, vs the original course. Massive deviation:

    IF the test was successful, expect a Dark Eagle deployment to Guam within the next few weeks. Also expect testing of the air launched (from tactical fighter aircraft) Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile, HACM, in Australia soon this year. Essentially a miniaturised and weaponised X-51 Waverider, scramjet powered hypersonic cruise missile light enough to be launched by tactical fighter aircraft (total all up round weight of less than 5000lbs, including the rocket booster, X-51 used an ATACMS booster, this will be smaller on the HACM, and not aerodynamically destabilising).

    Listen Closely, Gallant: Handala’s Eyes and Ears Are Everywhere

    Once again, the vigilant hand of resistance has struck at the rotten heart of the occupying regime. This time, it was Yoav Gallant, the former Minister of Defense of the Zionist entity, who tasted the bitter flavor of disgrace, helplessness, and humiliation. Through a successful cyber operation, Handala’s sons have infiltrated Gallant’s confidential and personal systems, gaining access to all his secret communications and correspondence.

    To prove the authenticity of this operation and to ensure transparency, some of these chats and documents have been published as PoC (Proof of Concept) for the public. However, due to the high intelligence value and ongoing exploitation, the majority of the chats will not be released for now, leaving the regime’s leaders in a state of sleepless anxiety.

    So far, over 70 pages of Yoav Gallant’s contacts have been fully exposed, sending a clear message to his friends and accomplices: there is nowhere left to hide.

    At this moment, we must thank Mr. Gallant with irony and ridicule, for while he was passionately narrating his crimes, he failed to notice that Handala was listening closely! Just as we previously extracted the coordinates of the secret “Site 81” base from Gabi Ashkenazi’s emails and turned it into a missile target during the 12-day war, this time we have uncovered the exact locations of 11 ultra-secret military bases from your files. These bases will be targeted by precise missile strikes in the coming hours.

    As promised, the children of resistance are working tirelessly, day and night, to execute combined cyber and missile operations—leaving no safe haven for the enemy.

    Hand in hand, until the complete liberation of Palestine

    Press release (from March 25th, 2026) from Handala Hack:

    From Hunter to Hunted: Mossad’s Former Chief Falls into the Trap

    2026-03-25

    In history, there is always a moment when the hunter becomes the hunted. Today, that moment has arrived for Tamir Pardo, a name intertwined with crime and assassination.

    Tamir Pardo, former head of Mossad, is the very figure who stained his hands with the blood of the purest by directly issuing orders for the assassination of resistance elites, including martyr Dariush Rezaei-Nejad and martyr Mostafa Ahmadi-Roshan.

    He was directly responsible for the Stuxnet project, the world’s first cyber weapon, designed to cripple Iran’s scientific and nuclear progress. Pardo, the mastermind behind the project to eliminate Iranian and Islamic scientists worldwide, has now fallen into a trap himself, and this time, there is nowhere left to hide.

    Today, Handala Hack proudly announces that it has released 14 gigabytes of Tamir Pardo’s personal and highly confidential documents as Proof of Concept (PoC). These documents will not only reveal the secrets of Mossad, but also expose the details of assassination projects and covert operations.

    Mr. Pardo!

    When you shamelessly signed the orders for the assassination of resistance elites, when you sent the Stuxnet virus to the heart of Iran’s technology, you never imagined that one day you would become the target. Today, you are not a hero but a symbol of disgrace and fear, and everything you hid is now exposed to the light of truth.

    A message to Zionism:

    We heard the silenced voices of the martyrs and today, by exposing the conspiracy documents, we have begun our revenge. No pawn is safe anywhere in the world; any pawn can be the next target at any moment.

    Stay tuned for more documents. This is just the beginning of the collapse.

    Handala Hack, the vengeful blade that neither forgets, nor forgives.
