Government by the Numbers
By Vicky Davis | Augist 28, 2025
One of the findings of the investigation on Nicolas Cruz and the Parkland School shooting was that Cruz was a repeat offender in and out of trouble over a number of years but he was always assigned to community diversion programs. There was never any punishment for his behavior. A deeper dive revealed that Broward County was policing by the numbers. Federal government incentives were based on a statistical analysis of crime in the area. Low crime statistics meant more money from the federal government in the form grants and subsidies. That perverse incentive caused Sheriff Israel to direct his attention not on law enforcement but on the statistics.
Statistics Driving Policy
In a normal world, a policy is defined to solve a problem and statistics measure the outcome of the policy. Using statistics as the definition of the problem produces a twisted result – an upside down world in which the statistics look great but the problem stays the same or is exacerbated as in the case of our economy right now. Statistics can be manipulated by the choice of variables included in a report. The conditions in the real world can't be manipulated like that. An obvious example right now is the rate of inflation in the economy. The FED is reporting low inflation while anybody who goes to the grocery store can tell you that we have an exceedingly high rate of inflation. So how does that happen? The FED doesn't care about the cost of living which includes the price of groceries so those statistics are not included in the FED's analysis.
So when did the U.S. Government lose their collective minds? This writer would put the timeframe at the point of the presidency of George H.W. Bush although argument can be made for an earlier time but it was during the Bush administration when the decision was made to begin building national-international computer systems as a product of government for the benefit of private business. The result of the plan was to bring fascism to America – the public-private partnership in the development of national computer systems designed by and for corporations to facilitate commerce. [Editor's note: Commerce isn't all they facilitate. And don't forget the software running on those systems. This includes PROMIS software (INSLAW Affair) to Ptech to Prism to Palantir. The PROMIS software predated the presidency of George H.W. Bush.]

Transportation was a good place to start because of the cross-cutting (interfacing) systems associated with it. Some of those would be the Interstate Highway system, the old highway system that were part of the military’s responsibility (STRAHNET), hospital emergency rooms (Highway Safety Act of 1966), which links to medical records, driver's licenses which links to Vital Statistics, etc. Everything is linked to everything in a high tech society.

Peter Thiel, through his role as co-founder of Palantir, has established a strategic connection with Lockheed Martin (the deep state is buried deep here), with the two companies collaborating to modernize naval combat systems by integrating Palantir's AI-driven software into Lockheed's traditional defense hardware. This partnership highlights the broader dynamic of "new guard" technology firms, backed by investors like Thiel's Founders Fund, working to disrupt or collaborate with the "old guard" of the defense industry.
