“Peter Thiel-Backed Startup That Wanted to Buy Greenland Is Thrilled That Trump Wants to Buy Greenland. A techno-colonialist project sees Greenland as the perfect opportunity to trial its utopian ambitions.”

Quote: "A key figure in the success of both the Network State movement and Donald Trump has been the shadowy tech billionaire Peter Thiel. Pronomos Capital, the venture capital firm that has been responsible for financing much of the movement’s special projects (including Praxis), is financially supported by Thiel. A number of Thiel associates are also deeply intertwined with the movement, including Joe Lonsdale, the co-founder of Thiel’s defense contractor Palantir, and Michael Gibson, the former vice president of grants at the Thiel Foundation, who currently serves as an advisor at Pronomos.

At the same time, Thiel has also been a notable benefactor to Trump’s political career, having helped bankroll his 2016 presidential campaign. Even more weirdly, it would appear that Trump has named a Thiel associate, Ken Howery, as ambassador to Denmark, which would put him in a prime position to influence a Greenland deal—were one to actually materialize.

So what’s going on here? Is the recent announcement by Trump somehow tied to Brown and his Thiel-backed project? Or is Praxis merely using Trump’s proposal as an advertising opportunity for its own floundering utopia?"

“I Have No Idea What Peter Thiel Is Trying to Say and It’s Making Me Really Uncomfortable

In a rambling op-ed for the Financial Times, the master of the universe ranted about the JFK conspiracy, ‘The Decameron,’ immortal rulers from ‘Gulliver’s Travels,’ and Jeffrey Epstein.”

Quote: “There’s a lot of problems here. The biggest being that Thiel is, by any measure, an elite. He is a member of the Distributed Idea Suppression Complex he seems to oppose. He is the kind of person who goes on Piers Morgan to speak out against assassinated CEOs and writes op-eds in the Financial Times.

Thiel is worth more than $10 billion dollars. He contributed significant time and money to the political career of J.D. Vance, a man who is now a heartbeat away from the presidency. Thiel’s op-ed reads like a ketamine and amphetamine-induced populist rant. It’s an appeal to the masses layered with literary references that’ll fly over the heads of most college graduates.

This is a man who funded Facebook and PayPal and now backs a mass surveillance and AI company named after a cursed object from The Lord of the Rings. He has access to more revelatory and apocalyptic truths than the average person, yet he whines for more. On our behalf, presumably.”

Meet Peter Thiel, the controversial tech billionaire and GOP kingmaker

Quote: "Thiel's sphere of influence in Silicon Valley expanded as he got richer. He became known as a mentor, starting the Thiel Fellowship, which gave $100,000 and two years of support to founders under 20. His most well known mentees — though not Thiel Fellows — include Mark Zuckerberg, who he connected to Trump, and Sam Altman." Source: https://www.businessinsider.com/peter-thiel See also:
