Soft power in politics (particularly international politics) is the ability to co-opt rather than coerce (in contrast with hard power). It involves shaping the preferences of others through appeal and attraction. Soft power is non-coercive, using culture, political values, and foreign policies to enact change. In 2012, Joseph Nye of Harvard University explained that with soft power, "the best propaganda is not propaganda," further explaining that during the Information Age, "credibility is the scarcest resource"[1].

(Samantha Lux) Epstein's creepy trans fascination: Ava Cordero's story
Epstein says: Donald Trump [sodomized] "Bubba," a name for a horse and for Bill "Bubba" Clinton, on video, which served as blackmail for intel agencies Epstein and Maxwell served (Mossad, KGB, et al.) when Trump almost certainly preferred incest:

(CNN) Mother [Ashley St. Clair] of Elon Musk's son reacts to his threat for full custody [over threat to fully transition him to a female like Musk's other boy who became a girl] with Erin Moran, talking about Grok's "spicy" mode
This'll be our Epstein secret, right Elon?
If the gay version of Trump, who fellated 'Bubba,' according to Jeffrey Epstein, and the bisexual version of Elon Musk, who desperately wants to fit in with 'tech bros' like Peter 'Petey' Thiel, had a kid, would it be transsexual then transgender then as embarrassing to them as legendary Republican Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter? Let's ask Musk's son-turned-daughter Vivian Wilson.

CONTENT WARNING: This is an example of a hateful term: “globohomo.” What is it? Emerging in 2016, this multi-purpose, right-wing troll invention combines homophobia and antisemitism.
Researcher David Futrelle’s well-known misogyny tracking site We Hunted The Mammoth offers this summary:
“Ostensibly, ‘globohomo’ is short for ‘global homogenization,’ an alleged vast conspiracy to destroy ‘traditional’ culture and values and replace them with a sort of global (naturally) corporate uniculture. But it’s rarely used in this way, at least not exactly. For those who’ve seized upon the term, ‘globo’ means ‘globalist’ and therefore Jews; while ‘homo’ (the suffix) means, well, ‘homo’ (the slur). (Some, evidently worried that ‘globohomo’ isn’t gay-sounding enough, add ‘gayplex’ to it — ‘globohomogayplex’).”
An update to Elon Musk’s [Frankenstinian] free AI assistant, "Grok," in December 2025 made it easier for people to digitally remove people’s clothes [and show them nude, naked, or partially undressed].
Grok AI (artificial intelligence) is still being used to digitally undress women and children despite suspension pledge Degrading pictures being posted on Elon Musk’s site despite the platform pledging to suspend people who generate them.
It's illegal to draw me in undies without consent?
Degrading images of children and women with their clothes digitally removed by Grok AI continue to be shared on Elon Musk’s X, despite the platform’s commitment to suspend users who generate them.
After days of concern over use of the chatbot to alter photographs to create sexualized pictures of real women and children stripped to their underwear without their consent, the UK’s communication’s watchdog, Ofcom, said on Monday that it had made “urgent contact with X and xAI to understand what steps they have taken to comply with their legal duties to protect users in the UK.”

Ofcom added that it would assess whether an investigation is necessary based on the company’s response.
Meanwhile, politicians and women’s rights campaigners accused the UK government of “dragging its heels” by failing to enact legislation that was passed six months ago making the creation of such intimate images illegal.
(Abolish ICE) ICE's alarming plan EXPOSED as Israel-made mass surveillance tool (apps) uncovered, so all smartphones will become "Trump Phones," just like the free "Obama phones" were used to legally track, spy, and surveil subjects. You'll be on a list, and you won't even remember what "privacy" once meant...and you'll love it. All hail, King Trump, our savior hypocrite!
Peter Andreas Thiel (born Oct. 11, 1967) is a gay German American [1][2][3][4] billionaire entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and political activist [5][6][7], who hand selected the vice president.
A co-founder of PayPal, Palantir Technologies, and Founders Fund, Thiel was the first outside investor in Facebook [8][9]. According to Forbes, as of May 2025, Thiel's estimated net worth stood at US$20.8 billion, making him the 103rd-richest individual in the world [10].
Thiel has been described as "perhaps America's leading public intellectual today" [11] or "intellectual architect of Silicon Valley's contemporary ethos" [12]. Others debate the consistency or morality of his views [13][N 1][15][16].
Born in Germany, Thiel was taken to the U.S. by his parents when he was one year old. In 1971, his family moved to South Africa then South West Africa [17], before moving back to the U.S. in 197 [17].
After graduating from Stanford, he worked as a clerk, a securities lawyer, a speechwriter, and subsequently a derivatives trader at Credit Suisse. He founded Thiel Capital Management in 1996 and co-founded PayPal with Max Levchin and Luke Nosek in 1998.
He was the chief executive officer of PayPal until its sale to eBay in 2002 for $1.5 billion. Following PayPal, Thiel founded Clarium Capital, a global macro hedge fund based in San Francisco [18].
In 2003, he launched Palantir Technologies, a big data analysis company, and has been its chairman since its inception. In 2005, Thiel launched Founders Fund with PayPal partners Ken Howery and Luke Nosek. Thiel became Facebook's first outside investor when he acquired a 10.2% stake in the company for $500,000 in August 2004.
He co-founded Valar Ventures in 2010, founded Thiel Capital in 2011, co-founded Mithril Capital in 2012, was investment committee chair, in 2012, and was a part-time partner at Y Combinator from 2015 to 2017 [19][20][21][22].
He was granted New Zealand citizenship in 2011, which later became controversial in New Zealand.
Variously described as a conservative libertarian and democracy-skeptic authoritarian, Thiel has made substantial donations to American right-wing figures and causes.
Through the Thiel Foundation, Thiel governs the grant-making bodies Breakout Labs and Thiel Fellowship. In 2016, when the Bollea v. Gawker lawsuit ended up with Gawker losing the case, Thiel confirmed that he had funded Hulk Hogan. Gawker had previously outed Thiel as gay. More
