You may have read recently that sci-fi neocon Peter Thiel, the trans-humanist founder of Palantir, bought a house in Argentina. He supposedly wants to avoid a proposed billionaire tax in California, might be concerned about nuclear war, could be having nightmares about what might go wrong with AI, or like a number of other plutocrats, maybe he likes the plutocrat-friendly Argentine government of libertarian President Javier Milei. I wouldn’t make too much of any of those explanations. Thiel has a number of “Plan B” locales for himself, including Malta and New Zealand.
I would note, however, that Thiel protégé J.D. Vance, the vice president, seems to be backing off a presidential run in 2028. Again, we get varying explanations. Maybe he will defer to Marco Rubio, the neocon/Ziocon favored Trump successor, who is currently pushing for a war with Cuba, Rubio’s ancestral homeland. Neocons love war, and their warmongering overlaps with the interests of Ziocons, who want the U.S. to remain the Globocop for reasons of their own. Namely, they want the American military to be the Zionists’ global gendarme. Maybe those leaks we have read about Vance’s being an Iran war skeptic had something to do with it. The “Signalgate” texting leak about American attacks on the Houthis in Yemen seemed to indicate that Vance was, in fact, a war skeptic. But not enough of one to walk away from Trump’s reckless administration. Some say that Thiel is disappointed in Vance as a potential Man on a White Horse to help advance the tech totalitarian agenda. Yet Vance has repeated all the techie talking points about the great benefits of robotics and AI.
I had some hopes for Vance. The Hillbilly Elegy author seemed to care sincerely about the fate of the forgotten white working class from which he came. I lost such hopes quickly. Venezuela, the Epstein file debacle, and the Iran war gave him every opportunity to speak up for peace, an end to Zionist meddling in or control over American politics, and concentrate on the problems of our own country for a change. He didn’t. I had hoped Vance would remember where he came from and the plight of the people who produced him. But he defended Trump’s policies, making me believe that the leaks were a ploy to cover himself.
Then Thiel made a big show of buying a home in Argentina. And we saw reports about Vance’s not running in 2028. Excuse me for thinking that these are related. A reaction — maybe a bit of a panic — about the gathering economic, political, and social storm that is rapidly approaching. It’s plain to anyone with eyes to see that the Iran war is a disaster for the United States, and for the world. It has created all the preconditions for a global economic meltdown, the acceleration of the decline of the dollar as the global reserve currency, the end of the petro dollar Ponzi scheme that has kept the war machine and fiat money regime going for 50 years, and potentially for an expanded conflict involving China and Russia. The war with Iran is likely to heat up again. That will affect those processes. So maybe Team Thiel wants to distance itself as much as possible from the storm when it breaks in full force. Then it waits for a chance to re-enter the fray amid the chaos with a promise to restore order via a techno-totalitarian regime.
As noted in this space previously, Palantir is enmeshed in the Deep State and with the Israeli infiltration of the American system. The tentacles of the surveillance state the digital tyrants are building are spreading wider and wider. They intend to rule us with an All-Seeing Eye run by AI. The video clip below summarizes a number of points from investigative journalist Whitney Webb and her associates on her podcast Unlimited Hangout, in her newsletter of the same name, and in her encyclopedic survey of the origins of the vast interlocking networks of intelligence operations, organized crime machinations, and greedy plutocrats, particularly Zionist billionaires, One Nation Under Blackmail. Those networks laid the groundwork for Jeffery Epstein’s sex trafficking, money laundering, and blackmail operation. It appears that practically all the major American retailers are using facial recognition technology as part of a biometric program to identify “security” risks, track their shoppers, pin down their shopping habits, and gather personal data that is then shared with the Deep State and law enforcement. I don’t for one second believe their reassurances that the privacy measures they swear they take are enforced.
I’ve noted a certain sense of foreboding, of portent, in our society. We collectively sense that something very bad is in the works. We are getting plenty of clues about that. Walmart, for instance, is suffering from a drop in retail business. Even their discount store business model isn’t bringing in the lower-income shoppers that it once did. Gas prices were the catalyst. As noted by Upside Invest, Walmart is the floor of American retail. The floor is cracking: “When Walmart breaks, there is nothing cheaper for the American consumer to trade down to.” The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is rapidly being drawn down, and could hit rock bottom as soon as July. Global oil reserves are dangerously low, indicating a growing oil shortage that will spark a market shock. Market analysts are predicting a motor oil shortage. If that weren’t alarming enough, investment flows are shifting to China, undermining the “safe haven” status the US has enjoyed.
At home, the Ziocon/neocon cabal is pulling out all the stops to distract public attention away from our current troubles, while reinforcing justifications for war in the Middle East. They are, for instance, doubling down on playing up the Islamic threat. Here in my home state of Texas, Republican candidates are dodging important economic and social issues by pledging not to allow Sharia law in Texas and opposing the building of mosques. Fine. I’ve been writing about the incompatibility of Islam with our country for decades, just as I have opposed mass immigration in general. There are, however, several major “buts” to consider in the dog-and-pony show the Ziocon GOP is putting on. Muslims are an easy rhetorical target. It plays well with the base. Yet nobody is seriously seeking to revamp our immigration policies. What’s more, Texas Ziocon-In-Chief Greg Abbot, the governor, has received huge contributions from a Muslim billionaire, Syed Javaid Anwar, a Midland, Texas oil executive and Abott appointee to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, who is also financially supporting Islamic heritage groups and mosques.
Recall that Texas Republicans have loudly supported limiting free speech, equating criticism of Israel with “anti-Semitism.” They are the champions of politicized Christian Zionism in my state. Texas’ definition of “anti-Semitism” is the very vague, very broad one of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. As interpreted by the IHRA, it might include “the targeting of the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity.” Huh? Remember when erstwhile conservatives denounced “hate-speech” laws as anti-American and unconstitutional? This definition creates another protected class, unlike, say, white Americans. It’s not enough to enforce laws against assault, murder, rioting, or what have you, the regardless of who the victims may be. Yet these “anti-Semitism” moves indicate that the very act of criticism, of thought crime, is considered heresy. Thoughts and sentiments, as in all totalitarian systems, must be regulated.
So, what’s going on? Politics as usual, for sure. The GOP is helping the Israelis cast the entire Muslim world as America’s permanent enemy to justify Middle East wars. But they aren’t keen to halt Muslim immigration, at least not entirely. The Ziocons need a distraction, a boogie man, to keep up the Muslim scare, while using the cudgel of “anti-Semitism” laws to dampen criticism of Zionism and Israel. Look over there, not over here! Blowing up the Middle East and killing vast numbers of Muslims, overthrowing their governments, and endlessly intervening in their affairs — the root of anti-American Islamic terrorism — goes ahead full steam. Yet Muslim immigration to the U.S. continues. It only appears to be a major contradiction if one does not consider the political benefits to the Ziocon/neocon cabal. And, in the case of Greg Abbott, the financial windfall of many millions of dollars from a generous Muslim donor.
At risk of violating the sensibilities of the IHRA, Islamism has done less damage to America than Zionism. Muslims do not have anything like the vast influence over American policy, American financial institutions, over our society, that Zionists do. Zionists have blackmailed US presidents, pushed America into wars in Iraq and Iran, and bogged the United States down in the Middle Eastern cauldron without regard to American interests. Israel has spied on us, murdered our sailors, drained some $300 billion from our treasury, and has used Zionists in the news media and entertainment to indoctrinate Americans to the point that any questioning of its status as “our greatest ally” is instantly blocked as a thought crime. Now they have their own president, an Israeli asset — a man who deliberately acts against US interests. President Donald Trump is one of the most successful conmen in history. MAGA has been transformed into a Mossad Psyop, a con game that too many have bought into.
We are in for chaos. The chickens that the tech totalitarians, Wall Street, the neocons, the Zionist billionaires, and the Deep State have let loose are home to roost. They have dreamed of a “great reset.” They intended the war in Iran to bring that about. We are in Year Zero of a new era. The old America has been gone for a long time, but we are moving rapidly away from her grave to a place where that world is but a distant memory. What that will eventually look like is impossible to predict. I can only hope that some of us slip the leash of the digital gulag amid the ensuing chaos and find some way to stay free.
