Remember when they said something about pedophiles under pizza place in Washington and said it was Hilary or something

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.

[–] VeryInterestingTable@jlai.lu 9 points 12 hours ago

Let's get rid of the deep state!

~Puts deep state in place instead.

See there really is a deep state!

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

[–] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 9 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Spill the tea on Tom Clancy pls

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 9 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours 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 the center right from the 60's is very different than the center right of today. Draw your own conclusions.

If it were fiction, at some point Peter Thiel would use computers to summon demons, for military purposes.

They mix the genres of Lovecraftian horror, spy thriller, science fiction, and workplace humour.

Found what I'm gonna read next.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

Magic is real, and the idea behind it makes enough sense to run with!

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Holy shit, a western author ripped off Shin Megami Tensei.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

This is how I know religion is crap. At some point, someone would have made a sacrifice for laser eyes.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

Lasik did make my vision super sharp tbf, and all I had to sacrifice was a couple grand

There's new Epstein files released? I block a shitload of words in post names on lemmy

[–] rothaine@lemmy.zip 13 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

Trump gave Bill Clinton a BJ. That one is probably the biggest surprise

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Wouldn't surprise me, Clinton likes big women.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

Not if you'd read my fanfic.

Yeah someone's been leaking emails

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 hours ago

Which begs the question: how long have they been knowingly sitting on these emails?

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

No, the House released 20,000 new documents. You can get them yourself off a government site.

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Including an unredacted version of emails that had been leaked (which prompted this release) with the victim redacted. But you know, the reason they didn't release anything else before was to protect the victims... until it's better for Trump if they do.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Giuffre was the redacted name on one of the damning emails, it's on AP news.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Oh I hadn't seen that in the news yet, thanks

[–] Xttweaponttx@sh.itjust.works 3 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

I also want the answer to this question

[–] NoPanko@feddit.uk 9 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Yes a load of correspondences between Epstein and others have been released

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

20,000 new docs were released. You can download the mess yourself.

[–] stan_stanminson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago

Wait, you can block words in posts? How I did not know that

[–] foggianism@lemmy.world 129 points 23 hours ago (5 children)

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

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 40 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Tryenjer@lemmy.world 17 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

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

In short:

Palantir CEO, Alex Karp.

https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/s/7mziZTnxWS

And the owner is even more unhinged than that.

In the UK, Palantir is used in the NHS.

Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal, owner of the military technology companies Palantir and Anduril, an early investor in Facebook, the man who has openly declared since the 2000s that democracy is a mistake and that he wants to destroy the United States and European countries to establish city-states, each governed by a different corporation (fiefdoms), on our ruins, has always chosen his projects based on a clear political vision. Unlike other businessmen, Thiel is more of an activist than an investor. For example, PayPal was initially intended as an alternative to the American banking system to undermine and eventually overthrow the government; this is what attracted Thiel's attention to the project in the first place. Palantir, it seems to me, is no different.

The fact that JD Vance, a creature of Peter's, is Vice-President clearly demonstrates the power of influence he has achieved to introduce his beliefs into the White House policies.

And by the way, keep an eye on this new meeting between Trump and Putin. Since the 90s, we've been aware of the Russian elites' declared ambitions,

Which now apparently partially overlaps with the ambitions of the American ones,

Wait. Did dude read Snowcrash and think "yeah, that future, that's my utopia!"?

[–] SaraTonin@lemmy.world 92 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

technocratic dictatorship.

don't use technocratic in that way

I feel better about that -$20 balance I had and never paid back on my (now perma'd for it) PayPal account years ago.

[–] kirk781@discuss.tchncs.de 44 points 22 hours ago

He is also one of the Co founders of Palantir, quite a notorious company.

Feels more like a Dan Brown novel, tbh.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 55 points 1 day ago

I mean, that’s why people still have a hard time believing it

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago

Truth is ugly. Fiction is neat and tidy.

[–] Devjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Tom Clancy didn't write that?

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

I mean, he probably did at some point.
