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/
Image
Image
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/

Lots of people are reading @anneapplebaum's 2020 essay "History Will Judge the Complicit" today to understand Lindsey Graham. It's sobering to compare to Dorothy Thompson's 1941 "Who Goes Nazi?". Both try to classify collaborators. Both separate "resenters" and "opportunists" 1/ Image
Applebaum provides a gift link here. I read it and "Who Goes Nazi" side by side; the parallels are instructive. Both women - Applebaum in 2020, Thompson in 1941 - saw a movement gathering and asked, who would join? 2/
theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
Applebaum cites Stanley Hoffman, who fled from Nazis as a child. He sorts true-believer collaborators into two types: ancient elites resenting a loss of status (resenters), and low-life deviants seeing a chance to rise up (opportunists). (He also flags the "rationalizers") 3/ Image

Politics is personal. Dan Moraff who recruited Platner and fed him rants about "the establishment", was a child of wealth who got canceled for sexual misconduct. Platner was his revenge, a way back to power. Please see: Platner's campaign was about intra-elite resentments. 1/ Image
It matters that Moraff's grandfather founded Toys R Us. Platner's campaign and much of our "populist" movement is people of generational wealth. It's not about helping the poors. It's resentful elites who thought they deserved more, punching at the "center" who denied them. 2/ Image
The dirtbag left are elites resenting successful strivers. PodBro Jon Lovett: "perfect candidates off the harvard law conveyor belt.. all boxes checked.." Matt Stoller: "rule following perfect resume ladder climbing Harvard law grads..lizard people creeps" Petulant babies. 3/

New today: Peter Thiel's secret society of illuminati had a website so insecure it exposed his entire membership list. And it's... interesting. His Palatantir folks, sure. Leonard Leo. The president of Stanford. Ezra Klein. And some D politicians who really shouldn't be there. 1/
Going to post the membership list in chunks. It's tech-fascists and fake-centrist pundits and Silicon Valley business guys and health wackos like Peter Attia and Trump toadies like Scott Bessent and a few arts folks and then.. Cory Booker? 2/ Image
Dan Driscoll, our SecArmy, is JD Vance's friend from Yale tasked with giving your tax dollars to Peter Thiel's friends with defense startups. Pundit Sam Harris, no surprise. Rob Hur was the Special Counsel who wrote a hit-piece biased report on Joe Biden. 3/ Image

People seem surprised that Trump's AG was using private email. But the Jan 6 investigation showed: Trump officials do EVERYTHING on private email. That's why their comms had to be subpoenae'd. Nothing was archived.

1000 Hillarys, and not one article mentioned it. 1/
This account has been pointing out for years now: in 2020 Trump's officials openly flouted the Presidential Records Act and did official business on insecure devices. And they kept doing it in his second administration, because no one called it out. 2/
The contrast with the treatment of Hillary Clinton is .. sobering. It's going to be in textbooks someday, as an example of media bias. 3/

The Trump-appointed chairman of the panel approving his fascist arch turns out to be an architect who restores palaces in Russia, lectures in Russia, and publishes in Russia: Rodney Mims Cook Jr., son of a famous GA politician, a cartoonishly pretentious monument builder. 1/ Image
Image
The current version of Rodney Mims Cook Jr.'s floridly self-aggrandizing website lists five lectures or presentations in Russia (including at the Kremlin) and one at the Russian embassy in DC. He's proud of his ties (h/t @nycsouthpaw) 2/ Image
Another bio for Rodney Mims Cook Jr. (oddly, he's on the board of a Caribbean medical school) omits a talk at 'Spaso House, Russia' and a 2017 presentation at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, but does include writings in Izvestia and Pravda. 3/ Image

The only bright side of the DOJ's disgusting effort to vacate the convictions of the Proud Boys who led the Jan 6 Capitol attack (they weren't pardoned, just commuted): now they can all be subpoenae'd to testify and can't plead the 5th anymore. They'd have to talk. 1/
The next DOJ dirty trick to watch for is an attempt to throw the pipe bomber case, to let Brian Cole wiggle out scot-free by casting doubt on the case. He's already filed a motion fingering an innocent cop. Expect Todd Blanche to do everything in his power to help him. 2/
The Jan 6 pipe bombs were deeply connected to many people including sitting Congressmen. No way do Trump and Blanche want any of that to come up in court. They will want that case to go away and if they will work the corrupt DOJ to make it go away quietly. 3/
