It’s strangely appropriate that these bastards named themselves after the magical sphere that Sauron used to turn Sarumon evil in LotR.

Sauron used conversations and scenes to turn Saruman charmed and deadly frightened. Over the palantir, which was a device to see the future, the past, the probable, close and far away. Thus also a communication device.

So basically their name refers to knowing things which are not their fucking concern. Not what you said.
