    Peter Thiel is the co-founder of PayPal, and his partner was the vice president of BlackRock at some point. The plot thickens.

      More significantly, he’s one of the key instigators and powers behind the current us government. Explicitly wants to create a technocratic dictatorship.

      Peter Thiel recently put on a four talk series, sponsored by a “Christian” organization, where he suggested that anti-AI people are the Antichrist.

        If I were religious, I’d bet that he’s the Antichrist.

    The irony is that THIS is the deep state the fuckers have been looking for. Just the the 2nd amendment folks though, their rhetoric is just that, rhetoric and was NEVER going to lead to the solutions they preached.

    The only value that side shares is bootlicking authority.

        There’s at least one boy in the epstein victims. So its probably more that Epstein was bi.

    Why would Clancy write anything that isn’t in full support of conservative idealogy?

    source
    • Tangent5280@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Spill the tea on Tom Clancy pls

      source
      • Jax@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Clancy was a staunch conservative. Dedicated several of his books to notable conservative politicans such as Ronald Reagan. He supported the NRA (yes I understand the NRA has changed form over the years but I don’t really care) and he opposed abortion.

        He praised Bush for being a ‘good guy’, granted he did challenge the justifications for the Iraq War (I also don’t really care about a broken clock managing to be right).

        I haven’t read any of his novels for a very long time, but what I remember is that amongst the tech and spy stuff there is stuff that sounds like very clear RW propaganda (to me).

        Granted, this is the first time I’ve thought about Clancy in years outside of conversations with my (you might have guessed it) conservative coworker. I don’t really know much about the man other than he was definitely conservative. I think you could probably make the argument that he was center right, and that that center right from the 60’s is very different than the center right of today. Draw your own conclusions.

    Conspired with Russians

    Never allow this disinformation to permeate. Epstein was key Israel intelligence/leadership figure. Barak would take orders/suggestions from him to not inform Mossad leadership of his information/tactics. The funding for his honeypot blackmail program came from the circular US aid to Israel to US political interference/domination programs of Israel.

    US oligarchy allying with Zionazi control of US is simply their path to pilfer all of US wealth, because if money equals speech, then money = zionazi+allies control.

    • UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Anyone who suggests Russia wasn’t involved in <insert bad thing here> is a Russian bot or a Chinese Wumao or a radical Islamist trying to trick me into not blaming the Russians for something.

      I won’t fall for it.

        It’s wild the things they accuse Russia of. My favorite is when everyone was convinced that Putin blew up Nord Stream 2, and now everyone thinks it was genius statecraft from Ukraine.

      Allegedly Russia has kompromot over Trump.

      • Packet@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        So allegedly Russia has stuff over trump? There is probably a line of people spanning the globe who have stuff on the insane man. That’s it? This is deeply unserious. Now it seems more so like USians trying to pull away blame from themselves, like how alt-right does with ZOG conspiracies.

      The Russia connection is that we’re desperately trying not to talk about Epstein being a Mossad agent.
