U.S.-backed overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy (1893)

American business owners, primarily sugar plantation owners, grew to have outsized influence in the Hawaiian Kingdom by the late 19th century. In 1893, after Queen Liliʻuokalani attempted to restore the power of the monarchy and native Hawaiians, a group of businessmen conspired to overthrow the queen.

The coup: Known as the Committee of Safety, the group asked for help from John L. Stevens, the U.S. Minister to Hawaii. Stevens sent 162 U.S. sailors and Marines from the USS Boston ashore. Though under orders of neutrality, their presence supported the coup.
The result: Facing overwhelming U.S. military power, Queen Liliʻuokalani surrendered her authority to prevent bloodshed. The new Provisional Government, led by Sanford B. Dole, intended to annex Hawaii to the United States.

U.S. apology: In 1993, the U.S. Congress passed the Apology Resolution, which admitted that the overthrow was "with the active participation of agents and citizens of the United States" and was illegal.

U.S. Marines assisted in the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893 to support a group of American businessmen and sugar planters who wanted to depose Queen Liliʻuokalani and annex Hawaii. The coup was orchestrated by the "Committee of Safety" who cited the Queen's attempts to restore power to Native Hawaiians and create a new constitution as a threat to their interests. The presence of U.S. Marines, under the command of U.S. Minister John L. Stevens, provided the military backing for the coup, allowing the Committee to take control by deterring any armed resistance from the Queen's supporters.

Economic interests: American businessmen in Hawaii, primarily sugar planters, feared the Queen's plan to create a new constitution that would re-enfranchise Native Hawaiians and weaken their political and economic power. They saw annexation by the United States as the only permanent solution for their business interests, especially after the end of U.S. sugar tariffs in 1890.

U.S. diplomatic and military support: The U.S. Minister to Hawaii, John L. Stevens, was a key conspirator who supported the Committee of Safety's plans. He ordered 300 U.S. Marines from the USS Boston to land, ostensibly to protect American lives and property.

Deterrence of resistance: The presence of U.S. troops created a show of force that prevented the Hawaiian monarchy from mounting a successful defense. Queen Liliʻuokalani ultimately surrendered her authority under protest, yielding to the "superior force of the United States," in the hope that the U.S. government would rectify the situation and reinstate her.

The people of Gaza has something in common with Jesus. The Jews wanted to kill Jesus too. Matthew 17:23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry. John 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. John 7:1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.

The phrase "with a click of a button you can bring down nations to their knees" refers to the catastrophic potential of modern cyber warfare, a threat that is immediate and real. While the dramatic wording may be rhetorical, it accurately reflects the increasing reliance on complex computer systems for critical national functions, which creates vulnerability to digital attacks.

Cyberattacks on critical infrastructure

Malicious actors, including nation-states, can target computer systems that manage essential services. Successful attacks could lead to widespread disruption and destabilization. Examples of critical infrastructure sectors include:

Energy: Disrupting power grids to cause blackouts and cripple industry.
Financial services: Stealing assets or causing system failures in banks and financial markets.

Communication: Taking down internet and cellular networks.
Transportation: Disrupting traffic control, railways, and aviation.
Healthcare: Impairing hospital and medical services.

Water and wastewater: Contaminating or disrupting a population's water supply.

Sophisticated and evolving cyber threats

The capabilities of cyber attackers continue to evolve, with new techniques and tools that make these threats more potent.
Hybrid attacks: Adversaries combine cyber and physical attacks to multiply their impact.

Weaponized artificial intelligence (AI): AI is increasingly used to autonomously accelerate cyber attacks by conducting reconnaissance, adapting to defenses, and exploiting vulnerabilities.

State-sponsored attacks: Nation-states are developing increasingly sophisticated cyberweapons and using them to target critical infrastructure for espionage and disruption.

Global and collective response
Because the digital landscape is so interconnected, threats are often global. In response, nations and international bodies are attempting to address these issues through collaborative efforts.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) in the United States works to protect the nation's infrastructure and promote resilience.

The United Nations has introduced a new convention on cybercrime, though it has faced criticism for potentially expanding surveillance powers.

Organizations like INTERPOL and the Council of Europe have also created frameworks to combat cybercrime and facilitate international cooperation.

The biblical accounts cited—Matthew 17:23 and John 5:18 and 7:1—do not provide details about Jesus' killing, but instead focus on the motivations of certain Jewish leaders who opposed him. Jesus' reference to his own death in Matthew is a prophecy, while the passages in John describe the Jewish leaders' plotting. These events preceded Jesus' final confrontation with the authorities.

Matthew 17:23: The prediction of death and resurrection

Context: Before this passage, Jesus had been on a high mountain where he was transfigured before Peter, James, and John. When he came down, he healed a boy possessed by a demon.

Meaning: Jesus gathers his disciples in Galilee and tells them that "The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised to life". This is not an account of the killing itself, but a prophecy delivered to his followers. The disciples were "deeply grieved" and distressed by the prediction, as they did not fully understand the significance of the resurrection at that point.
Who was involved: Jesus indicates that "men" will kill him, but provides no specific identity for them in this verse. His words foreshadow the role of both Jewish and Roman authorities in his death.

John 5:18: Escalating persecution in Judea

Context: This verse comes after Jesus healed a lame man by the pool of Bethesda on the Sabbath. He then defended his action to the Jewish leaders, stating, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working" (John 5:17).

Meaning: John 5:18 explains why "the Jews" (referring to the religious leaders in Judea) began to seek Jesus' death even more diligently. They were incensed not only because they believed he was "breaking the Sabbath" by healing on that day, but also because by calling God his "own Father," he was "making himself equal with God".

Reason for opposition: In the eyes of these Jewish leaders, Jesus was committing blasphemy. His claim to a unique divine sonship was understood as an affront to their strict monotheistic beliefs and therefore worthy of death.

John 7:1: The threat in Judea

Context: John 7 takes place about six months after the events of chapter 5, as the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles is approaching. During this time, Jesus' family urged him to go to Judea and show his works there.

Meaning: This verse explains why Jesus was reluctant to go to Judea: "After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders there were looking for a way to kill him". This was a direct result of the hostility that began in John 5.

Who was involved: John specifies that the threat originated from the "Jewish leaders" in Judea, particularly Jerusalem, a distinction made from the general population. Jesus was not necessarily afraid of death, but was waiting for the right time, as dictated by his divine mission.

Lavender, Gospel and Where's Daddy AI Tools from American Big Tech Companies

Google AI Overview

The Israeli military, not Palantir, uses the "Where's Daddy?" AI software. In reports from Israeli outlets +972 Magazine and Local Call, the AI system is said to track individuals previously identified as military targets, often targeting them when they are at home with their families.

While the "Where's Daddy?" system itself was not created by Palantir, the software company does have significant contracts with the Israeli military and other militaries for its data analytics products. Palantir provides core data infrastructure used for military operations.

About the "Where's Daddy?" software

Target identification: "Where's Daddy?" works in conjunction with another AI tool called "Lavender," which generates a list of potential militants by assigning a percentage score based on available surveillance data.

Targeting homes: "Where's Daddy?" uses mobile phone location tracking to alert operators when a target has returned to their family residence. According to reports, this capability makes it easier to target individuals when they are home with their families.

High margin of error: Israeli intelligence sources reported that the Lavender system had a known error rate of about 10% in identifying targets. The process for approving targets was also sped up, with one officer reporting only 20 seconds of review per target.

High collateral damage: Reporting revealed that for low-ranking militants, the army used a permissive bombing policy that accepted the deaths of 15 to 20 civilians as "collateral damage" for a single target.

Palantir's involvement with the Israeli military

General involvement: Palantir provides various technology to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for military purposes. This has reportedly included supplying software for military targets and supporting war-related missions.

Expanding partnership: Palantir has expanded its support to the IDF since October 2023, with its CEO expressing solidarity with Israel in early 2024 and confirming the company was supplying its AI Platform.
CEO's remarks: In April 2024, Palantir CEO Alex Karp responded to accusations about the company's technology being used to harm Palestinians by saying, "mostly terrorists, that's true," though his words were controversial.
