Palantir

[TheFiend]

A palantír is one of several indestructible crystal balls from The Lord of the Rings.

'Palan' means 'far' and 'tír' means 'watch over'.

Basically these palantír balls were used for communication, remotely influencing or controlling weaker users of the other balls and pretty much just freely spying on shit.

One of Sauron's favorite uses of the stones was broadcasting wartime propaganda.

Inspiring stuff indeed.

At least enough for JD Vance's sponsor/mentor Peter Theil.
