The Heritage Foundation (who are running Project 2025) and Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orban's team are meeting tomorrow to strategize ending aid to Ukraine. This was always the end-game. Remember Speaker Johnson's Paris conference last month? Orban's policy advisor was there. 1/
European and American neo-fascist "libertarians" have been in bed together for years. Now US Evangelicals have joined. Here's part of the speaker list for 2022's NatCon III: Peter Thiel and his proteges + Orban's advisor Balazs Orban (red), people tied to J6 in blue/green... 2/

J6-ties: Kevin Lynn, a faux-left anti-immigrant activist, brought the now-convicted Rachel Powell to the Capitol. Amanda Milius directed "The Plot Against the President", then was hired by SecDef Miller. Wilfred McClay reps Hillsdale College, which tried to overturn the vote. 3/ Image
Those trying to grasp how US lawmakers can be partnering with Hungarian fascists to do Putin's bidding should read Ben Lorber's series on NatCon III, which lays out the unholy alliance. Kevin Roberts of Heritage pledged his commitment that week, too. 4/

Peter Thiel has been working this for years. At the 2016 RNC, Thiel gave a keynote, his avatar Jeff Giesea birthed the MAGA movement, Thiel met with Viktor Orban's folks, and Trump said he'd recognize Russia's seizing Crimea. Trump is a puppet with many masters. 5/ Image
Peter Thiel has been frantically planting news stories claiming he's "done with politics". He's not. JD Vance & Vivek Ramaswamy are his guys. He funds NatCon. His Teneo, now run by Leonard Leo, is part of Project 2025. And his avatars push cutting off Ukraine. Don't let them. 6/
Image
Image
In the last months, the normally reclusive Thiel has given "exclusive" interviews to Fortune, The Atlantic, and The Guardian, and dropped stories to Reuters, WaPo, and more, all repeating: he's done with politics. For God's sake, ASK: why all those interviews? He's not done. 7/

In case it hasn't sunk in: Republican members of Congress are going to have private, closed-door meetings with reps of Putin's closed ally in Europe, to plan how to end aid to our ally Ukraine, all hosted by a foundation working to end US democracy. 8/

The Biden team, moving at light speed, played a sharp counter-move: they've invited Ukraine president Zelensky to come to DC the same day US Republican lawmakers will be holed up in secret meetings strategizing how to back-stab his country. Old guys know how the game works. 9/ Image
Right on cue, another Peter Thiel avatar, Sen. JD Vance, pushes Putin's goal to the media: "Ukraine is going to have to cede some territory to the Russians." Odd how all Peter's guys -- David Sacks, JD Vance, Vivek Ramaswamy -- recite the same script. 10/

JD Vance, who is pushing for the US to cave to Putin, seems to have not held a full-time job not financed by Peter Thiel since his first after law school (8 months at Sidley Austin in 2014-2015). Vance won his Senate seat with the help of $15M from Thiel. 11/

Predictably, another Peter Thiel associate tells Ukraine to cede territory to Putin: David Sacks, a made man in Thiel's PayPal Mafia. He's been hocking Russian propaganda all year, and Sacks & Thiel pushed Elon Musk to buy Twitter. When will we admit what is happening here? 12/ Image
David Sacks is one of Peter Thiel's cutouts for pushing Russian talking points; Vivek Ramaswamy is another; JD Vance is a third. The Thiel avatars all speak in unison, and the voice they are channeling is Peter's. And Peter is serving Putin. 13/

Here it is: Stephen Miller says the government will now control what is taught in America. That's always been a key goal. No one should be surprised. In 2020, Trump gave the religious right the '1776 Commission' - control over education bartered for support for his coup. 1/
This account has been saying this, urgently, since 2022. Trump's plan to seize power on Jan 6 was entirely serious. And he offered seriously, to let his backers police American thought and education. It was a four-alarm fire - but we failed to act. 2/
The names on the 1776 Commission are key figures in the faux-intellectual wing of the religious right: Hillsdale College, Claremont Institute, Heritage Foundation. The same people who filed election-fraud suits for Trump in 2020. And the same people who wrote Project 2025. 3/

To honor Charlie Kirk, a thread on his words about Jan 6. Let us cherish and remember them - which is easy since 41 of his sentences are "I'm invoking my Fifth Amendment right not to testify". That is, Kirk thought his words could be used in a criminal prosecution. 1/ Image
Charlie Kirk's deposition, with all his evasions, is a public document for anyone to read; this thread will hit some of the highlights. 2/

In response to the J6C's subpoena, Charlie Kirk handed over thousands of pages of Turning Point messages about the $1M+ they spent on the Jan 6 rallies and buses to bring the mob to DC ...but Kirk withheld all his personal text messages. He took the 5th when asked about them. 3/ Image

If Trump is once again declaring Antifa a terrorist organization, that's not a good sign. The last time he did that was on Jan 5, 2021. The next day the Proud Boys "dressed as Antifa" when they set off the attack on the US Capitol. 1/
Trump started talking about "Antifa terrorists" in May 2020, during the George Floyd protests (when he also mused about shooting protestors). After he lost the election, he swapped his Secretary of Defense, then on Jan 5 issued a declaration on Antifa. 2/

Hard to tell whether Trump is rehashing old memories or planning something new, but it's not a good sign. Before Jan 6 they worked hard to build up 'Antifa' as a shadowy threat. And Charlie Kirk helped with Jan 6: with money, buses, and Antifa stories. 3/

As weird as it is to see Trump, his VP, SecDef, and SecState out in DC with hardly any security, it is weirder that it was Codepink that was protesting. Codepink is an astroturfed "women for peace" group whose "peace" means giving Putin whatever he wants. Slavishly pro-Russia. 1/
Codepink has left such a long trail of dubious actions and shadowy funding that @P_Kallioniemi, who posts about Russian influencers, needed 23 Tweets to outline it all. If they are involved, tonight's events were not a normal protest. 2/
Medea Benjamin, Codepink co-founder, is so committed to Putin's talking points that she wrote an entire book about the Russia-Ukraine war rehashing them: Ukraine provoked the invasion! 2014 in Ukraine was not the people's liberation but a US coup! Nothing about this is normal. 3/ Image

Welcome comrades to the new free-speech university UATX, created by the co-founder of Palantir! Today after early-morning calisthenics we will discuss the writings of the Palantir CEO and also co-founder. Be ready to discuss his belief that companies must take over the state. 1/ Image
Tomorrow's topic: how Joe Lonsdale and Alex Karp exemplify Merit and not Woke DEI! Both
* were student friends of Peter Thiel. Lonsdale edited Thiel's Stanford Review.
* spent their entire careers in companies created or funded by Thiel
Next week: "Freedom is Slavery"
-- UATX
2/
Comrades - building an empire of proteges is not Woke DEI but Righteous Merit! Because your friends obviously have more Merit than those, well, other people. Competitive job applications bad, hiring your friends good! - UATX. Where Speech is Free!

Eric Schmitt's blood-and-soil nationalism at Peter Thiel's NatCon this week is making news - but this isn't new. Schmitt's staffer Nate Hochman, posting here, was fired in 2013 from Ron DeSantis' campaign for pushing a video where the Florida flag turns into a Nazi Sonnenrad. 1/
MO Senator Eric Schmitt hired Hochman AFTER he got internationaly famous for using a Nazi symbol. That tells you a lot. Schmitt didn't mind the Sonnnerad, or Hochman's later work pushing conspiracy theories about immigrants. 2/
theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…
When you listen to Eric Schmitt deny that America was founded on an idea about liberty - he says it was just meant as a homeland for white people - remember this guy is fine with Nazi Sonnenrads. And he's now in the US Senate. It can happen here. 3/
