Seems like Vance may just be a puppet. Theil gave him a record 15 million to his last campaign. Could signal Trump is actually going after the tech world. Theil is big on crypto. Elon is obviously also.

Not sure your point? I’d rather have the smartest people on earth on our side personally.

We already sort of did this today. He might be a fake conservative Obama manchurian candidate type. Hard to tell.

What is this theory based on? The fact that he raised money to campaign? You retards keep parroting this over and over.

Peter Thiel backs smart promising young Republicans (Vance, Masters, Kent, etc.), it's not a big deal.

If he was a puppet, Tucker wouldn't give him a ringing endorsement.

$15 mil is a rounding error to Thiel, and child's play compared to Soros ans his surrogates.

Would you rather him NO MONEY, SOROS MONEY, OR REPUBLICAN BILLIONAIRE MONEY?!

Trump IS going after the tech world. Thiel has ben a big donor in the past and the tech moguls realize what a disaster Biden and the Dems have ben. Zuckerberg came out today and called Trump a "badass"

Vance worked for Thiel.. I’m think Vance later had a venture capital firm in Ohio and Thiel invested in it.

From memory, but pretty sure the relationship is something close to what I’ve posted.

Theil and Elon were partners at one point.. theil and a few others started PayPal .. they merged with musk ( his original commerce business was X…) musk was ceo of merge but replaced later by theil.. fwiw theil is big in investing in Asia also.

thiel is long time conservative and protect your wealth kind of guy..

Imo yeah we have some serious puppeteering going on.. musk and theil want to be kingmakers and I am sure a lot of government tech.. computing.. ai business will be coming their way in the future..

This plays out like a James Bond movie.

Silicon Valley has had a fair amount t of movement towards Trump this cycle. Thiel was backing Trump in 2016, but many others have jumped on the last few years. AI is going to take a ton of energy which means that a more pro energy president is needed.

Part of it is the "how did he go from being a poor hillbilly Marine to graduating from Yale in just a few years?" argument.

I mean, never mind that he served his time in the USMC and then used his GI Bill to go to tOSU and graduate a four year course of education in two years, which caught the attention of Yale.

There are definitely some swampy connections that are concerning, but Tucker and Don Jr. are two very sharp and politically connected individuals who are outright ecstatic about Vance. Gotta think they know things we don't. Time will tell. Parallels are being drawn between Vance's rise and Obama's rise. Some of them are definitely eyebrow-raising, while others are a pretty far stretch.

excerpt:
quote:

To understand JD Vance as an Ohio senator, the inflection points in 2013 and the subsequent relationship with billionaire Peter Thiel (Palantir Technologies) from 2013 to now, becomes important.

Billionaires Eric Schmidt and Peter Thiel are key members of the steering committee of the controversial, closed-door and overtly globalist Bilderberg conference. Newsweek once called Schmidt and Thiel the two most influential figures at Bilderberg.

Peter Thiel’s company Palantir Tech is the driving force of a global surveillance system using artificial intelligence (AI). Palantir has massive contract interests in US military and intelligence communities. Keep in mind, Palantir is the current company creating the tech mechanisms for the U.S government to conduct foreign and domestic surveillance. The actual technology needed by the Deep State to advance their interests, is provided by Peter Thiel.

According to the popular narrative, JD Vance opposes the Intelligence Community deep surveillance state, while simultaneously being the political front for the interests of Peter Thiel and Palantir Technology? This doesn’t reconcile.

Peter Thiel was the money and network behind the 2022 Ohio senate race between JD Vance and Tim Ryan. It was Peter Thiel who took JD Vance to meet President Trump in Mar-a-Lago to get the needed endorsement to launch Vance into the U.S. Senate. Without Thiel there is no Senator JD Vance.

It is also important to remember that prior to 2018; prior to Peter Thiel becoming aligned with the FBI as a confidential human source, and prior to Vance needing the Trump endorsement; JD Vance was a staunch never-Trumper. JD Vance went from calling President Trump “a literal Hitler,” to appreciating Trump’s incredible leadership, a remarkable shift in opinion.

To his strategic credit, Peter Thiel was successful in gaining both the endorsement and the outcome of the 2022 Ohio senate race.
