Karp, Thiel, Musk and Palantir will be the end of democracy. Trump has to go, but Vance is Thiel's protege. He will be worse.

But he can be impeached.

Palantir is very concerning. I'm convinced all the DOGE data went straight to Thiel.

I first read your last three words as "straight to Hell." Then I thought "That too."

I applied for a programming job at Palantir, to try and get an inside view, but they rejected me. Perhaps they had already collected enough info about me.

I agree with you that all the data Dodge collected is in the hands of Peter Thiel. The mastermind behind the dismantle of our US government. PERIOD

They want to build network colonies. thiel is a yarvin cult member. Its bizarre that they actually think they will get away with uprooting people based on their data and having an overlord rule over each. Creepy. yarvin creepy!

So much of this seems to go straight back to the PATRIOT Act that followed 9/11. Too many people were so freaked out that they didn't ask the obvious (to some of us, at least) questions, like "What if these powers aren't used only against alleged terrorists? Who gets to say who's a terrorist and who isn't?" And now, well -- here we are.

Peter Thiel tapped Vance for the Senate and V.P. Another Sth African tech billionaire, founded Paypal with Musk. These are NOT philanthropists. Parasitical may be morr accurate? White supremists? Will 2026 be a fair and free election? Not likely if Thiel and Musk team up...

The GOP has always been the party against too much government. What a change.

We must accept that these authoritarians intentionally put in place “the boy who cried conspiracy theory” concept so we’d not figure out their real conspiracies. Since 2002, teachers have tried to alert you at WhiteChalkCrime.com and EndTeacherAbuse.org that fascists hijacked our education system over four decades ago and it’s been ignored as if it’s pizza gate when it’s the primary way they ended democracy - stopped producing citizens and prejudiced you against teachers by ordering them to behave badly.

Teachers used to be the only spiritual force in government. They were the first people disempowered, which is why people need to empower them ASAP.

Get on school boards and force schools to hire and empower called-to-teach teachers. We must build back our spiritual power as that is the first thing these fascists took from us.

It is alarming how much we really don't know about what is going on. due diligence is required but difficult for an average person to perform! Be careful because time is the enemy or ally of a power grabber/abuser

Chilling, especially coming from an expert who was inside the house during trump 1. From the trump muder the children bill, to trump's illegal invasion of CA, to trump's approval of mass data gathering of Americans, I think maga morons bit off more than they care to chew. While all of us are in trump's dystopian crosshairs, I find it both disturbing and remarkable that republicans are so quiet about the deep state grab of data, the overreach of the federal govt, and the switch from soft power to soft genocide in their Big Kill Bill. I wonder if republicans lied to their rube voters... Could be. Since at least Reagan, republicans have called govt the enemy. After 40 years of projection, republicans have finally created the Big Brother enemy they said they screamed and shouted that they dreaded. Amazing.
