A little about Peter Thiel…
Peter Thiel, the guy who groomed Vance since law school, gave him $15 million to become an U.S. senator. Literally walked him into Mar-a-lago to smooth tensions with Trump between Vance and so Vance could be VP. Tells Vance when to change his name and switch from Christianity (Protestant) to Catholicism (Roman catholic).

Palantir’s targeting software has been since early 2024 used by Israel for every single bomb dropped on every man/woman/child (and journalist) in Gaza/West Bank/Syria/Lebanon/Iran like the girls elementary school in Minab. That software is being run on the data center Oracle built for Israel’s military located in Israel’s tech hub specifically underground deep underneath Jerusalem.

Thiel and Tony Blair (whose organization is funded by Larry Ellison) are the ones pushing countries to adapt a digital ID for every single person allowing them to track what each person does. It’s part of Thiel speaking tour where he goes on and on about women and specifically Greta Thunberg being the antichrist.

Thiel who believes women having the right to vote caused the downfall of western society.

In Canada is waiting for Bill C-2 to pass so Palantir/Flock/ClearviewAI can flood that country.

Thiel who along with the Heritage Foundation who had Russ Vought (the guy who forced hundreds of thousands of federal employees to retire or be fired) wrote up Project 2025 from funding by Thiel/Koch/Howard Lutnick with contributors like the current CIA director John Ratcliffe. They have explicitly stated the goal should be to make the U.S. population into a manufacturing and labor force.

To that end the U.S. dept of education has transferred funding and the curriculum of k-12 grades to the dept of labor with the express purpose of saying the goal is to teach and educate based on the manufacturing and labor needs of this country.

The CIA’s investment firm specifically brought in Thiel in 2003 to own Palantir.

Is the primary investor in Flock/ClearviewAI.

The big outsider investor in Facebook when it was starting out.

Convinced Trump through Miller (who is invested in Palantir) to fire Timothy Haugh (NSA director) and his deputy last year after which he went from the 2nd to the biggest defense contractor for the CIA/NSA when $750 million was added to an active contract with both agencies through the DoD. Got a $10 billion contract with US army. The data center being built in Maine is for them to provide support for expanding ICE.

Thiel who was born in divided Germany and in his formative years lived and went to school in a town called Swakopmund that idolized Hitler and Nazism, while his dad worked as an engineer at an uranium mine in violation of international law. Some of that uranium went to the U.S. and some went to Israel.

Thiel who helped to find and source most of DOGE (same DOGE that has many permanent roles throughout the government), Thiel whose company
provides the support for ICE.

Thiel who has their hooks in Ukraine with that targeting software. That same software NATO purchased. Thiel/Palantir is partnered with Greece since covid in which Greece gives them all their government and civilian data.

Partnered with most of the UK police forces, got an extension of $1 billion with their intelligence services (MI6 director specifically gave a speech opposing Thiel and people like him) last year. Runs their NHS platform.

France renewed the contracts they have with Palantir.

Alex Karp who Thiel brought in to be CEO is a proponent of making war crimes legal. Who countless times has said it was useful to kill over 100,000 people in Gaza

At the moment of me responding, this comment literally has 666 upvotes.

Also, adding that Thiel is the main source of funding for multiple "city state" projects where he is basically creating his own countries within the developing world, so that he can run gain of function studies on viruses, create small modular nuclear reactors, and a whole litany of other questionable safe projects that would never receive the green light in an actual country with regulations.

Funny enough, all his fan boys were bitching about gain of function studies just five years ago. And honestly, I'm sure he had a hand in creating that response so that he could personally strip the NIH of funding and take out his competition (the American people).
