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/

The techbro takeover of the US continues: while CDC employees "clap out" their principled leaders who resigned, Trump swears in a 2-decade Peter Thiel advisor to lead CDC. Thiel's Palantir already has all your data. He controls your VP. Now he controls your public health too. 1/
No one's even trying to hide the Thiel takeover anymore. Jim O'Neill's been a key Thiel lieutenant for nearly 20 years. He ran the Thiel foundation, Thiel's Clarium Capital and Mithril Capital (the one that employed JD Vance). 2/
citizen.org/article/jim-on…
Jim O'Neill's not just a Thiel lieutenant, he's a true acolyte, pushing all Peter's fruitcake ideas: building government-free floating cities. Achieving eternal life. Getting kids to drop out of college. And he says drug safety testing is for wimps. 3/

Trump's posts are getting really transparent. His plan for power - probably Jan 6, certainly now - is to create a violent, chaotic event and order in troops. He's saying it plainly now. He's also invoking the antisemitic Soros conspiracy created by his own political mentors. 1/
What's happening in the US makes more sense if you get that it's the same group of people doing the same things, over and over. The Soros conspiracy was created by a US political advisor - Roger Stone's mentor - to elect Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orban. 2/
The US is not special, and our would-be fascist overlords - not just Trump but Silicon Valley techbros - look to Hungary as a model. Orban crashed his economy and made Hungary the poorest country in Europe, but he got power and that's what they want. 3/

A political rule of thumb so far unbroken: any Peter Thiel protege supports Putin and undercuts Ukraine. That's JD Vance, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz (when it counts), failed candidate Blake Masters, PayPal Mafia members David Sacks & Elon Musk... name one who doesn't. I'll wait. 1/
In Feb 2023, as Ukraine fought heroically, Josh Hawley declared the US must pull out ("we cannot defend Ukraine and stop China in Taiwan"), called the fight a "proxy war", sneered at "blank checks to Ukraine". Putin couldn't have written it better. 2/

Ted Cruz, Peter Thiel's first political project, is more ambiguous in his words on Ukraine (he decries Russian agression, but weirdly blames Biden for it). But he voted to cut off Ukraine aid when it counted. 3/

Can we ask why Trump's new hire for the Bureau of Labor Statistics recorded a podcast promoting Project 2025 IN FRONT OF A PICTURE OF A NAZI WARSHIP? @briantylercohen flagged the podcast but missed the Bismarck. Is any reporter going to cover actual Nazis in our government? 1/ Image
Compare the images. Who would do a podcast in front of a ship launched by Hitler, used to attack the US and Allies in WWII? Trump's appointees. People asked today, why did Trump pick the woefully unqualified Antoni for BLS? This is his qualification. 2/

See that forward gun turret right behind EJ Antoni, our new head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics? Here's Adolf Hitler inspecting the Bismarck in front of that same turret. We are way beyond dog-whistles. Antoni CHOSE to use Hitler's navy up as a backdrop. It was a choice. 3/ Image

Don't sleep on how telling it that Trumps prepares to abandon Ukraine by using Russia-loving Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orban as the excuse: 'Orban told me that Russia is too powerful'. Remember that Orban, Trump, and Netanyahu are the product of the same US political machine. 1/
Orban made his country the poorest in Europe, but he's the role model for America's neo-fascist oligarchs. Peter Thiel & Yoram Hazony's "National Conservatism" is full of Hungarians; Orban's adviser signed their "principles". Even the Economist gets it. 2/ archive.is/GJWuNImage
Decades of fuckery is the same people, over and over. Arthur Finkelstein's army of dirty tricksters (Roger Stone and Paul Manafort are his 'boys'; Orban, Trump, and Netanyahu the products). Russian influences pushing the far right in the US and Europe. 2/

Sean Casten just learned that Mike Johnson was Dean of a planned law school named after pedophile Southern Baptist leader Judge Paul Pressler, who preyed on young boys. Wait til he learns that Ted Cruz was on its board. Pressler also gave Cruz one of his first endorsements. 1/ Image
Johnson's failed Paul Pressler School of Law was a major play by the religious right. Its board, formed in 2010, was full of the biggest luminaries in the fundamentalist Evangelical universe. Then in 2011, the obscure Ted Cruz was added. Ask him why. 2/

The Paul Pressler School of Law was an intensely political project, meant to train lawyers to overturn US law, build a Christian-focused government. That's why its board were key names - and then Cruz. Many of these people have Jan 6 connections. They're still power players. 3/ Image
