  • Did you know Thiel was actively involved in policy throughout Trump's first term? He was just really quiet about it, so most people didn't even notice.

  • Also, why this post and not any of the other trump posts that were posted before or since?

  • I don't know, I feel like writing online and telling the traitors to eat shit can be a therapeutic release that keeps you engaged and allows some emotional distance without full dissociation

    The worst thing you could do is check out and accept defeat. Or go to a protest without your face covered bc they're using Clearview to track people

    Given the media is being silenced it's one of the few tools of communication we have left that hasn't been entirely hijacked by people screaming I <3 free speech and free markets while suppressing both bc they know that in reality they would never survive a press or market they couldn't control and manipulate

  • You can just look at the picture of a picture, but then you miss the full story.

    Don't blame me though, I'm not the one that started a several decades long betrayal of the U.S., desecrated the constitution, and flooded the zone with chaos.

  • Maybe keep in mind the strategy is to overwhelm and traumatize people so they eventually check out/dissociate.

    Its not saying everything will be ok, don't worry, it's saying don't let yourself become overwhelmed with the horrors of every battle. It's going to be happening a lot.

    Not bad advice really bc total burnout/checking out is the quickest way to lose the war

    Somebody offering some words of comfort or encouragement is way less harmful or dangerous than telling people resistance is futile, so they should just give up and curl into a ball...

  • I think there are plenty of people that give a fuck about the constitution, but we need to really start thinking about what makes a country. Is it the people or an executive cabinet?

    I am about 90% sure the heritage foundation has had this planned since the 80s, and used Post Soviet Russia as a test run. Here is more information about why I believe that if you're interested

    It's a question of who really wants us to become an officially privatized corporation? Even if we have no say in that, we should ask why we are being treated as consumers of their product?

    They seem to have no plans to stop taxing poor people, so either we stop paying federal and state taxes and only invest in our local communities, or we start acting like angry shareholders fed up with how the board is running the company.

  • The FBI and other agencies are using polygraphs to find leakers. But do they work?

  • Yeah and like any intimidation tools, sometimes you get your desired goal, a lot of times you get false confessions/false positives, and sometimes if the guilty person really knows what they're doing, they get off scot-free.

    Then the people you're using the intimidation tool against become even more resentful, distrustful, and skeptical of your leadership capabilities, even if they're scared or intimidated by you.

    Not that I would expect anything different from these people, but I guess just goes to show money can't really buy strategic or critical thinking skills.

    It's one thing if you got one leak in one department, if you got multiple leaks in multiple departments, maybe the issue isn't the fucking leakers!

  • Rarely there are also people who don't even have a detectable physiological reaction even if they are guilty.

    Best case scenario, you risk framing a bunch of people who didn't do shit, except get nervous bc an authoritarian regime hooked them up to a lie detector test, in order to find the person who tried to place their country above themselves. There's also a chance that person doesn't even get caught with the lie detector test bc it's such a bullshit technology.

    Why not just have a psychic come in and start reading tea leaves? Or better yet just put some names on a dart board and blind fold the dart thrower to figure out the leaks? Fucking dumb sacks of shit.

  • I don't think calling these people spies is the right term anymore, considering who is in the White House right now, and I don't mean Trump.

    The Heritage Foundation began influencing U.S. policy starting in the early 80s, which is also around the time political divisions in America started becoming more polarized as standard of living for the middle class began to worsen.

    The polarization that began in the 80s has gotten more and more extreme, to the point that now far-right groups are an important part of the current President's voter base. When you look at the destruction and dismantling of the government currently underway by the administration, you have to understand, this is really not an attack on the left/DEI. Their strategy first began decades ago, long before anybody heard of DEI. First it was "multiculturalism," then it was "political correctness," then "wokeness," and now the scapegoat is "DEI."

    It's an attack on democracy and individual freedom by people in power with a lot of money, but not a lot of numbers, unless they get a group of people that are divided to fight for them, and keep them divided from "others." Importantly, it's actually very similar to the strategy used by oligarchs in Russia. Russian Nationalists are Putin's biggest supporters, but instead of "DEI," the enemy to Russian Nationalists has long been the influence of Western democracy.

    Funny thing is, some of the earliest examples of Russia embracing capitalism after the collapse of the Soviet Union and creating the current government, can be traced to the Heritage Foundation. The first of its kind go between for U.S. and Russia businesses was created by a former Heritage Foundation member, Robert Krieble.

    Fellow Heritage Foundation member, Thomas Roe, is quoted as telling Krieble during the mid-1980s, "You capture the Soviet Union, I'm going to capture the States."

    According to a 1991 Washington Post article covering a celebration of the official establishment of this business, Russia House, Krieble snuck electronic equipment to dissidents prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

    The corporation is also privately funded. Officers of its board are Moscow Mayor Gavril Popov; Paul Craig Roberts of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a former treasury assistant secretary; and Dean Booth, an Atlanta lawyer. Businessman Robert Krieble, who donated fax machines, computers and copiers to dissidents in the Soviet Union when "they were illegal," Lozansky said, is one of the financial supporters.

    The original founder of the Heritage Foundation was also present at the gathering covered by the Post article.

    At the inauguration of Russia House, furnished only with a lectern and radio and television microphones for the ceremony, Paul Weyrich, head of a group called Free Congress, said, "When we first went to the Soviet Union we were considered foolish. But democracy is real. The change is real."

    Meanwhile, in the U.S., Roe then went on to create the State Policy Network (SPN), a network of Heritage Foundation affiliate think tanks across all 50 states, to promote Heritage Foundation policy at the state level, but disguise the think tanks as "small government" and "free market" focused.

    Now, Putin actually has his own similar think tank for freedom and democracy in Germany While Russian oligarchs have become majority shareholders in Louisiana oil companies, and made donations to House Speaker Mike Johnson's campaign.

    It would seem more likely, that rather than Russia playing the long game, Russia joined the Heritage Foundation's long game decades ago, and that modern day Russia under Putin, may actually reflect the Heritage Foundation's test run for the creation of a privatized corporate government.

    Speaking through a translator, the Post article also provides an interesting quote from the Mayor of Moscow:

    "Russia House is not financed by governments but by private people," Mayor Popov said. "Aid in the form of commercial goods and food should not be the main effort. Aid would be over soon, and all would be as before. We need a free-market economy -- but we don't have people who can run a free market," he said, speaking through a translator. "I told {Treasury} Secretary {Nicholas} Brady that many Americans will sign treaties with ministers -- who then will disappear. Trade should be with private individuals and businesses."
