Love MAGA? Love your country? Love to obey orders without question and put perps in their place? You just might be what ICE is looking for. Tattooed patriots with Hegseth insignia, white Christian nationalist symbols, spiderweb on elbows, KKK, Aryan Brotherhood, and Neo-Nazi affiliations welcome to apply. Want to euthanize puppies like Sec'y of Homeland Security Kristi Noem does and willing to execute disobedient curs? Drinking problem? No problem! Domestic violence accusations? Bi*ch was probably asking for it. Bonuses and incentives available thanks to extra Trump administration funding.

White males preferred. Others possibly considered if white quota is not met. Violent criminal records? Let's talk. Snitching, finking, willingness to betray trust of fellows may remove obstacles to federal employment.

The Antichrist is Here: Story of Peter Thiel

(Volksgeist)

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

From Evangelical Patriot to Anti-Empire Atheist

(Kayse Melone) June 26, 2025: We had a great question asked on a chat on one of my recent livestreams. What does it mean to love yourself as an American when you no longer believe in what [North] America stands for? As someone who grew up in evangelical Christian nationalism in the heart of red-state America, I’ve had to unpack the myths I was raised on, face the guilt and shame of living in the belly of the beast, and begin the long process of internal deconstruction and healing. We talk about American exceptionalism, the spiritual cost of capitalism, and why letting go of nationalism might be the most patriotic thing we can do.

Elana Musk and Donna Trump reunited?

Greed trumps everything in US capitalism

[Asperger's Syndrome] Elon Musk appeared to extend an olive branch to [Would-be King and likely Epstein Island-visiting child molester] Donald Trump in a social media post over the LA protests, fueling speculation that they could be soon "back together."

The tech billionaire's gay "bromance" [on his way to being a trillionaire] with Donna came to a fiery end last week in an ugly online spat between the pair on Thursday after several days where Musk had been criticizing the US government over the president's "big beautiful bill" [which actually an "abomination" according to Musk].

US Nat'l Guard deployed to LA after 'riots' broke out over immigration raids

I do so miss him and his naughty drugged antics.

[Musk can't afford to lose all those U.S. government contracts that made him the richest man on the planet, just behind fellow African Mansa Musa and perhaps a few others who secretly hold their wealth in ways that prevent them from getting credit for it by curious bean counters, like multibillionaire heads of state and dictators, to say nothing of hedge fund managers and professional blackmailers like Epstein and Diddy].

Trump threatened to cut Musk’s government contracts and the tech billionaire claimed that US government hasn’t released all the records related to sex abuser trafficker Jeffrey Epstein because Trump is mentioned in them.

There is no suggestion Trump knew of any crimes or participated in any criminal behavior. Elon Musk and Donald Trump 'back together' as Tesla CEO extends olive branch - The Mirror

(Democracy Now!) June 6, 2025: Is the Donna Trump-Elana Musk bromance finally over?

Pres. Trumpy is threatening to cut off billions of dollars in federal contracts from Musky after the two multi-billionaires engaged in a dramatic public feud just days after manly Musk called hypocrite Trump's ["big beautiful"] budget bill a "disgusting abomination."

Bill Gates was best buddies with Jeffrey "Pedo Island" Epstein?

Hey, Diddy, happy Donut Day! Are you gettin out? - Yeah, Trump's pardonin me! - Woo-hoo!

Musky appeared to call for and promise to back the impeachment of Trump and claimed the current president is named in the Jeffrey Epstein files.

"They are people who always have their eye on the bottom line, but they also are, obviously, titanically sized egos," says author Quinn Slobodian, professor of international history at Boston University, who is working on a new book about Elon Musk.

Trump's attitude towards Bibi has changed. Why?

(CNN-News18) Independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has sent a stunning message to Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. In a video posted on his YouTube channel he has blasted the Israeli Prime Minister. He said, "Netanyahu government has killed more than 50,000 people and wounded over 112,000. They have destroyed virtually all of Gaza’s infrastructure. And on top of all that destruction, Netanyahu has ordered a total blockade: it has now been 31 days with absolutely NO humanitarian aid getting into Gaza. No food, no water, no medicine, no fuel for a month."

Can the Democratic party reinvent itself?

What is driving this phenomenon? Laura Flanders & Friends hit the road to find out, traveling from Kenosha to Warren and Las Vegas.

She also caught speeches from Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain, and sat in on a town hall meeting with Nevada Congresswoman Dina Titus.

Will 2025 turn out to be the year that Americans remake democracy?

“I did 28 years in the army. I maintained an apolitical front at all times... I think we're sliding into tyranny, and I took an oath to support and defend the constitution, and I'm going to do that whether in or out of uniform.” - Terrance Deuel

“We are at a point where the wealthiest people in the world, like Elon Musk and all the Republicans enabling him, are turning to loot what is left of Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security to bankroll even deeper tax cuts and sweetheart contracts for themselves, their fellow billionaires, and their corporations. And our political system right now is ill prepared for this abuse of power.” - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

“I think the message of the moment is to understand that the vast majority of the American people do not think that we give tax breaks to the rich and cut social security or veterans programs. They don't. And our job is to work as hard as we can. Part of what this tour is about is to get them involved in their own local communities.” - Bernie Sanders

(Wisecrack) March 28, 2025:  Why American Christians love Trump. American Evangelicals and Don Jo Trump have always seemed like strange bedfellows, especially as Trump has spent most of his life flaunting the sort of Satanic debauchery that Christians usually despise. But if we look more deeply, this strange marriage of church and state actually makes a lot of sense. Let us explain in this video on how Trump won the hearts and minds of American Evangelicals. He is anointed (which used to mean smeared with entheogenic drugs, or mysteries, as explained by Dr. Ammon Hillman). He is the "Chosen One" put in office by the God, right? Right? The right wing says right.

• Meanwhile, in other "Chosen" news, Fathom Entertainment is releasing about three episodes of its successful Jesus TV show in theaters. The main actor is good, but the rest of the endeavor is a little perplexing, with added material to fill in the biblical account. It's not clear who this show is for, Christians, Jews, or agnostics needing something to watch. Atheists are sure to laugh and wish they'd seen Jesus Christ Superstar instead, which at least has a lot of good music and fast pacing, packing in the whole story in about 90 minutes.
