Lmao my thoughts exactly. Not just the general public, if enough Republicans get nervous and finally vote to subpoena those files, they might have to be legally taken by force.

Who had “If House Republicans would just fucking vote for accountability, the villain officially breaking the law and protecting pedophiles would be the CEO of a big bank?” on their bingo card. 🙋‍♀️

Curious why they would want to protect a pedophile protector and those bank files. Unless…?

“Survival of the fittest! It’s the natural order of things. Let nature take it’s cour… Hey, excuse me! You’re not supposed to be here without a biometric scan!”

Fuuuuck, gaslighting the gaslighter in chief. This is how humanity ends. All bc reality has become trapped within an endless circle of AI generated gaslighting and fuckery thanks to these idiots.

Yet another reason they probably want to stir up violence. Not only does it tip us closer towards civil war, capturing public violence means more data to feed into AI and generate violent videos.

I’ve also heard that British royalty still consists of types who classify people and nations by color, and those more colored in their perception have no rights at all.

The thing about this, is that it doesn’t matter if it’s happening in Brittain or the U.S. or Israel. It’s a form of social control for elites who view the world as a social hierarchy. There are no rules for them, but they need the masses to believe there are.

They’re at the top. God or nature chose for them to rule, and at the end of the day, nobody has any rights other than their right to rule over others. It just “is what it is.” They love social darwinism as long as they control the game, but they also know the reality is that if the masses were to ever unite and rise up against them, they would very quickly lose their spot at the top of the hierarchy.

Creating a value system on something arbitrary like skin color is one of the easiest ways to divide and conquer. Control of the masses by tricking some of them into believing they share something inherent with those who actually dominate all of them. Skin color, nationality, religion, or political beliefs as a measure of the value of human life, lulls the subordinates into a false sense of safety by default. They can be made fully aware of atrocities happening on the other side of the world, or even next door to them, but believe their belonging to the perceived in-group means it won’t happen to them.

When one out-group is eliminated, a new arbitrary out-group will be created to divide and conquer those who remain and destroy any who oppose. It’s happening in the U.S. right now.

We allowed immigrants to be rounded up like animals. We rationalized children screaming and crying in fear as their families were torn apart. They weren’t here “legally” so they didn’t have the same legal rights as everyone else. And since we allowed a group of humans to be considered “illegal,” a loss of human dignity is just accepted as the inevitable consequence of their actions. As if they somehow deserved this.

Then when we learned there were people who were here legally, but also being rounded up illegally in the rush to get all the “illegals” off the street, we accepted that it was simply a mistake, but a consequence of so many illegals with similar ethnicities overwhelming the system. A fault of the group, not a fault of the system. Nothing we needed to worry about, things would get sorted out, eventually. The system is never held to account.

Last week an entire apartment building was raided in Chicago when government agents dropped from a helicopter to a rooftop to break in. Most residents woke up to their doors kicked in around 1 am. Adults were handcuffed. Children were zip tied together and taken from their families screaming and crying. And in all the chaos and confusion, their American neighbors were also rounded up, handcuffed for hours, and denied due process. When they were finally released, they returned to find many of their friends and neighbors missing (and still unaccounted for), and many of their homes raided of valuables.

Surely this will be the line for America, right? We can all see this has nothing to do with immigration and “legal” status, right? The system is commiting the crime. They system is breaking all the rules it claims to enforce.

Or, will we all just accept that because it happened to mainly black and brown American citizens in an inner city apartment building, it was simply a mistake due to similar ethnicities overwhelming the system? It’s not something you need to worry about if you’re not one of them. You’re safe. Surely things will get sorted out, eventually.

President Trump released a new memo a few weeks ago that very few have paid much attention to. The vague language is phrased as targeting associates and funders of radical leftist groups like “Antifa,” but it’s vagueness essentially equates any act of political opposition with an act of domestic terrorism.

Divide and conquer.

Lavender was developed by the Israel Defense Forces’ elite intelligence division, Unit 8200. One officer was quoted as saying: “This is unparalleled, in my memory. The machine did it coldly. And that made it easier.” Another said: “I would invest 20 seconds for each target at this stage, and do dozens of them every day. I had zero added-value as a human, apart from being a stamp of approval. It saved a lot of time.”

Just as Palestinians are dehumanised by the rhetoric around the conflict, the technology furthers this dehumanisation. People become ‘targets’ and the technology is seen as simply a mechanism for efficiency and time-saving in the process of killing.

Technology didn’t kill those people. It might make that guy sleep a little easier to pretend he’s just a “stamp of approval,” but thats because he’s deluding himself.

If Alex Karp and Peter Thiel had created a deadly biological weapon in a lab, then sold it around the world for profit knowing it would be used to commit mass murder, nobody would be pretending they weren’t responsible for those deaths their weapon caused.

They created this monster, and the U.S. helped it flourish by feeding it the data it needed. And now they’re just pillaging hoards of data from the entire world. And we’re just letting them. As if they have no responsibility for what they’re doing, and we have no way to stop them.

They refused and still refuse to regulate it. It’s not that they can’t, it’s because nobody forced them to. Why not? The technology isn’t to blame for this, they are. They created a technological weapon of mass destruction, and for some reason, we’re all just going along with the idea that what they’ve done is somehow different than unleashing a deadly disease on humanity. As if they’re somehow removed from responsibility once it’s in the buyer’s hands because it’s a different category of weapon.

I remember a year ago or so, I was reading about NATO and concerns over A.I. use triggering article 5. I didn’t understand what tf they meant, but it’s pretty obvious now. So why are we pretending these guys aren’t war criminals just like the people who purchased and used their weapon against other humans?

The Peter Thiel Paradox (also the name of my new wave band) “It’s inevitable/you’re only fighting progress, and any regulations will turn it into an authoritarian nightmare. Which is what it’s turning into anyway because it’s simply inevitable. So stop trying to resist by forcing regulations on this inevitable authoritarian nightmare that we had no way of stopping.”

I ended up looking into it

Vance and Thiel’s relationship dates back to 2011, when the senator met Thiel following a talk the venture capitalist gave at Yale Law School that Vance has characterized as “the most significant moment of my time” at the institution, according to a blog post he wrote for Catholic magazine The Lamp.

🙄 That dude is such an ass kisser

Thiel is currently in the limelight for having mentored, financed, and boosted Vice President Vance. In sum, Thiel employed Vance in his Silicon Valley venture capital firm right after law school, helped Vance start his own venture capital firm, introduced Vance to Trump at Mar-a-Lago in 2021 and got Trump’s endorsement for Vance’s Senate race, and contributed a crucial $15 million to Vance’s Senate campaign.

Does anyone know how Vance ended up in silicon valley after law school? Was he recruited at Yale?

I have wondered for a while if Peter Thiel saw him as a chance for a rube/dark Jimmy Carter.

Why not just run a decent business?

Bc propaganda sells and corporations have entire teams that exist to market a brand as a value. That’s why Dove and Axe are both owned by the same parent company.

One exists to empower women and one exists to empower men by objectifying women. It’s not that either are really run by anybody with those values. They’re both faceless corporations, and it’s all just a marketing ploy.

This is Propaganda

“It’s the opposite of the picture of Baconian science from the 17th, 18th century, where the Antichrist is like some evil tech genius, evil scientist who invents this machine to take over the world,” Thiel told the New York Times’ Ross Douthat on a podcast. “In our world, it’s far more likely to be Greta Thunberg.”

“I feel like that Antichrist would maybe be using the tools that you are building,” replied Douthat.

Douthat was referring to Palantir, the government contractor that Thiel co-founded in 2003 during the height of the war on terror. Today, Palantir is “in the white-hot center of the latest trend reshaping the global order,” according to The Wall Street Journal, receiving more than $322 million from government contracts in the first half of 2025.

It’s equipping the government with tools to sift through massive data troves to identify patterns and hunt down illegal immigrants. It’s helping the Feds deploy facial recognition technology, and has created AI tools to “predict” where crimes might happen in advance.

“Like, wouldn’t the Antichrist be like: Great, we’re not going to have any more technological progress, but I really like what Palantir has done so far,” Douthat asked Thiel. "Isn’t that a concern? Wouldn’t that be the irony of history, that the man publicly worrying about the Antichrist accidentally hastens his or her arrival?"

When Thiel replied that hastening the Antichrist’s arrival is “obviously” not what he thinks he’s doing, Douthat agreed that it was unlikely but pressed, “I’m just interested in how you get to a world willing to submit to permanent authoritarian rule.”

No I totally don’t think that’s what I’m doing. Why would you even suggest that? You’re crazy! Somebody sue this guy!

I’m starting to think there’s probably a growing rift between the traditionalists and the technologists, but both sides are in the Epstein files.

The traditionalists like Mike Johnson are hoping Trump stays in power, and the technologists are hoping JD Vance replaced him.

For all of his many faults, I think JD Vance might be one of the few people not in the files, but he’s definitely funded by people who are and that’s who’s interests he will always be looking out for.

I also think Peter Thiel believes as long as his team (Vance, Kahnna, Massie) are in control once the files are released, he can keep his own financial ties to Epstein from receiving too much attention.

They definitely already are though. That is why they’re trying to cut all regulations on technology.

There is a private company that got caught doing this in my city and using live facial recognition tech to track people in real time.

They didn’t even ask for permission they just did it, and the only reason anybody found out about it is bc some journalists at the Washington Post exposed them and published an article about it.

Police secretly monitored New Orleans with facial recognition cameras

The cops can provided them with a name and photo and this company will scan cameras all over the city then text an automatic notification of the location to the cops when they get a match

The picture on the left is one of the cameras in my city

Experts warn that, in light of the Trump administration’s threats to crack down on “far-left” groups, the scope of application for Palantir’s tools could only grow. Already, a new report from the Intercept revealed HSI subpoenaed and received information from Google about international students who were being investigated over their pro-Palestinian activism.

“Now [with access to more federal databases] Ice can use this type of surveillance apparatus on anyone – not only anyone who is undocumented but anyone who this administration wants to criminalize and anyone who the administration wants to put under surveillance,” said González of MediaJustice.

"Time and time again, you’re seeing Ice act in ways that are incredibly violent and aggressive. It does have a chilling effect. When you know they have a technology that can track relationships, your conversations, and your organizing activity, that can be a silencing force.”

Meanwhile we have Peter Thiel telling us we can’t have regulations applied to tech bc doing so will lead to authoritarian rule. Trump’s science advisor Michael Kratsios is helping him make sure there is no red tape standing in his way.

But if we don’t have regulations, what he is building will also clearly lead to an authoritarian rule. But I guess he will be in charge, so it’s ok?

Additionally, with the help of Thomas Massie, he gets rid of the federal reserve, destroy the U.S. dollar and replace it with gold and crypto.

So the dollar will collapse, and with Thiel as our unchecked authoritarian leader, our entire lives will be constantly surveilled, our data will be collected and exploited, and it turns out Thiel has a crypto company he’s started with all those billions in soon to be useless American dollars that he stole or received in government contracts. Like our forefathers always dreamed about.

That is my point. Eventually if we keep letting everything become a giant conglomerate the choice will be a complete drop out and go live in the woods and wait for the machine to destroy itself or completely give up and just accept this is our only choice.

In the meantime, I know there are already things where this is the only choice. There is no reason to keep subscribing to Disney Plus, but when it comes to the things you can’t completely stop, just reduce where you can. It makes a difference.

I used to rely on Amazon for everything just bc it was convenient. There are some things I still do rely on it for, but I have cut waaay back on purchases from there. If I can get it somewhere else, I will.

Not to sound like a broken record, but this is again a real world example of why corporations aren’t people. The entire point of forming a corporation is to make a company completely devoid of individual responsibility. It becomes its own entity, but that entity is a machine. Each individual within the company is just following a predetermined set of rules/orders.

They’ll always just do what helps them make money over what is moral, but I don’t even believe that’s a disparaging remark as much as a factual one. It’s just how corporations are meant to work.

Corporations are absolved of moral responsibility just like any machine. Since the ends have already been predetermined, the closest to individual autonomy humans have is the decision to participate or not.

Either they make money, or they don’t survive. Starving corporations by not feeding them your money is literally the only way to force them to change their predetermined survival strategy or perish. It’s also why huge conglomerates that take away any choice in support are such a threat. If we keep allowing them, ultimately, humans will probably be forced to either just give in to the machine or boycott modern society altogether.

I’m more concerned they’ll be turning you over to the gestapo for anything you say online that goes against the administration that they helped elect and are now helping to keep in power.

The thing is, he seems to be setting up a future where technology and progress becomes his ultimate scapegoat.

The future he describes is where we’re headed if we continue down the path he’s leading us.

Once he becomes the centralized figure controlling all the nodes of authoritarian easy buttons he created across the globe, he will just claim that he tried to prevent it, but ultimately it’s just the inevitable result of progress. Like it was going to happen one way or another.

I wrote a very long comment about this, but essentially, dystopia is not an inevitable result of progress. That is why regulations exist. Look at the fears of dystopia following mapping of the human genome and the regulations that were created that have kept modern society from becoming Gattaca (although I know Thiel actually believes this too has led to “stagnation”).

Basically, there is the reality of what can and will happen when you cut the brake lines in a speeding car, and the fantasy of people like Thiel who believe that cutting the brakes will allow you to go much faster, and as long as he’s steering, his fantasy where the car suddenly flies instead of crashing might come true.

When it inevitably crashes he can claim it would have happened one way or the other, but at least he tried.

Thiel’s Antichrist scenario is one in which a unified government suppresses technology to impose order, or armageddon, wherein AI takes over and ushers in the end of the world.

I’m curious, has anybody ever just asked Thiel why it would make a difference if the globe was ruled by one corporation instead of one government?

the Antichrist would use the threat of Armageddon, or some looming crisis, in order to consolidate control and create a “one-world government.”

So to avoid this, we need one corporation to rule them all instead? You literally have a single corporation building global access to everyone’s data. It’s like you’re creating little nodes of authoritarian easy buttons, but ultimately it will be you with consolidated control of all these nodes. So consolidated control of all the authoritarian easy buttons.

Thiel’s Antichrist scenario is one in which a unified government suppresses technology to impose order, or armageddon, wherein AI takes over and ushers in the end of the world.

So as long as you, Peter Thiel, are the only one controlling it, we should believe that this won’t happen?

I wonder if Thiel’s ultimate scapegoat is progress/technology itself? He builds these fears while also making these claims about regulations and stagnation, so that he is allowed to build and control the technology that he knows will result in this scenario.

When everything goes to shit because he was allowed to knock down so many regulations and speed bumps, he will claim it’s not his fault, it’s just the inevitable progress of technology. As though this is the only way it ever could have been.

Because in his mind, this is the only possible outcome if technology progresses. So even though he’s the one that builds it, it’s not really his fault if it goes off the rails because it was going to happen one way or another. Oh well, at least he tried to save humanity.

This has all been making me think about mapping the human genome, and how people feared all the potential for a society like Gattaca where genetic discrimination determines your entire future.

It definitely wasn’t an unfounded fear, and that was why we created laws and regulations. Most (ethical) scientists would agree that genetics as a field did not stagnate as result of these regulations.

If anything, we thankfully learned a lot about unintentional side effects of cloning, and the impact of epigenetics and telomeres on longevity via Dolly the sheep. But what if we had said, we figured it out, no need for regulations and stagnation let’s make some human copies!

There was a doctor in China that ignored the rules and regulations, and jumped ahead and created a set of human twins with CRISPR technology. I think he is in prison now, and I don’t think there has been any updates about the twins due to privacy concerns.

What that guy did wasn’t just unethical bc it ignored the agreement about not wanting to live in a real life Gattaca. It was extremely dangerous bc even with CRISPR there is the possibility of off target effects, which can emerge immediately or even decades later in development.

Once again, digging a new hole to fill an old one. You fixed one problem, but you may have inadvertently caused an exponential number of new problems. That is straight up Nazi human experimentation, and the humans you created had zero consent.

Imagine what the world would look like today if somebody like Thiel had taken control of human genome research. Imagine Peter Thiel being allowed to just go full speed ahead with cloning and CRISPR technology in humans without any kind of knowledge or consideration of off target effects or downstream consequences. Where every educated or knowledgeable individual that tried to slow him down or warn him is completely ignored and dismissed.

Maybe the world would look like his fantasy where only a race with superior genetics exists. Everybody thrives and everybody is immortal, happy, and healthy as can be.

More likely it would be a world full of horrific genetic mutations and diseases with no treatment or cure. A world where everyone with money keeps cloning humans to bring them back to life, unable to understand or explain why they all seem to be falling apart more rapidly with each additional clone.

This guy has no fucking chill. His ego does not allow for the time to stop and think about all the unforeseen consequences that develop with progress. In his mind it’s just inevitable, and the way he fantasizes about it working out is the only possible outcome.
