Everything Thiel does makes sense when you learn he literally went to a nazi school in a white supremacist town in Africa.
He what
Read up about the Paypal Mafia and all of its lovely racist, white-supremicist, nazi-loving roots.
and is obsessed with the ANTI-CHRIST While speaking like the anti-christ. that does explain why MUSK was also a partner in paypal.
It's such a tragedy when a young man who happens to be involved with a billionaire who is under investigation commits suicide by shooting himself twice in the back of the head.
I remember the Gary Webb murder and the coroner that ruled it a suicide was pressed about it for a long time after that that he finally did an interview and said there was
"A distinct possibility"
that someone could shoot themselves twice in the back of the head for a suicide.
People on reddit outshout anyone about how this is a suicide, and shooting yourself twice in the back of the head is totally a possible thing.
Influence operations obviously, protected by reddit, while real users are punished by reddit for standing up for truth.
I will say, at least for Gary Webb, it was a suicide.
Gary Webb shot himself in the head twice, not the back of the head, I don't know why that lie keeps being added.
The first shot ripped through from his right ear, through his face and out the left cheek, as you will note, the face is part of the head.
He remained conscious long enough to reposition the gun to try again.
The worst part of the stupid conspiracy theory is that it ignores what was actually done to Gary Webb, and who exactly did it. As a hint, it wasn't the CIA.
Gary Webb was a small town reporter who uncovered a story of international significance. He was working without the backing of a major publication, and those major publications destroyed him for it. The CIA never had to lift a fucking finger. Every newspaper in the country spent weeks tearing into the flaws in the story, the little places where Mr Webb didn't know the "rules" of big league investigative journalism. None of them bothered to actually investigate the story itself.
Also left out of the conspiracy is that Dark Alliance was published in 1996, and Gary Webb killed himself in 2004.
He had been blacklisted by every major newspaper, had just been fired from the job he had held with the State of California earlier in the year due to a new asshole being elected and had just been forced to sell his house because he couldn't afford the mortgage. His ex-wife had been worried about him as well in the weeks leading up to his death.
Also yes yes, fuck Reddit, but also live in fucking reality. I know it's worse than the conspiracy theories, but, yeah I can't sell it any better than that.
No one is in charge, there are a bunch of people who think they are, but they are just as dumb as you or me. Statistically dumber and more vicious with their own fantasies of how the world works. Which is why they keep getting caught.
The problem is, no one does anything and no one ever faces consequences.
fuck reddit and spez
To be fair, there probably is a lot of shame and self-loathing that comes after sleeping with Peter Thiel.
And then it suddenly dawned on me: It was suicide with an electric bread knife, because no one would stab themselves that many times without intention.
Yarvin was married to Jennifer Kollmer, who died in 2021 in San Francisco of a rare hereditary cardiomyopathy and with whom he had two children.
Ivana died in 2022 of blunt impact injuries to the torso after falling down stairs at her home on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
Thiel was in a long-term relationship with model Jeff Thomas until Thomas's suicide in March 2023.
Uh..
It’s almost comical. Kind of like the “Russian windows sure are hazardous for your health” thing.
Yet I’m sure there’s an army of online “Thiel Tankies” that have an elaborate explanation for it.
The US justice sucks shit.
I don't know what a "blood boy" is and I don't want to know.
I am going to bed now
Thiel seems like the kind of psycho that 100% believes that getting transfusions of blood from younger, hotter people will make him young and hot and keep him alive forever.
He might actually be the most frightening individual that walks the earth in terms of insanity with influence and power, and I fully realize the gravity of that sentence
"Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the blood boy in the first half hour at the table, then you ARE the blood boy."
It's not as bad as you think. Its just the young man a rich older man pays to live a cloistered life and occasionally give blood to the older man in the belief that it will slow or reverse aging.
They don't bathe in it or anything.
How does Thiel get a pass for being gay WHILE promoting NAZI bullshit? I don't get why the christian nationalist give him a pass but any other LGBT person gets heavily persecuted
I'm reminded of one of Roy Cohn's monologues in Angels in America.
Your problem is that you are hung up on words, on labels: "gay", "homosexual", "lesbian." You think they tell you who a person sleeps with, but they don't tell you that. Like all labels, they refer to one thing and one thing only: Where does a person so identified fit in the food chain? In the pecking order. Not ideology or sexual taste, but something much simpler: clout. Who owes me favors. Not who I fuck or who fucks me, but who will pick up the phone when I call. To someone who doesn't understand this, homosexual is what I am because I sleep with men, but this is wrong. Homosexuals are not men who sleep with other men. Homosexuals are men who, in 15 years of trying, can't get a pissant anti-discrimination bill through City Council. They are men who know nobody, and who nobody knows.
The hypocrisy of Nazis is beyond me at this point.
The leader of the German far right party is a lesbian woman living in Switzerland and is married to a woman who is of Sri Lankan ancestry (adopted as a child).
What is a blood boy? Like from mad max?
Yes. Thiel was getting "young blood" infusions from this guy. No reason to suspect hasn't continued with a new donor. Literal vampire shit.
Was Gavin Belson based on him?
EDIT: Anyone who didn’t watch Silicon Valley, there is an episode where the character gets blood infusions from a younger, very athletically fit man.
As I recall, they blended a few of the silly valley moguls into that character. Zuckerberg and Jobs also made some appearances in that character.
Yes, exactly like that, with just a touch of Nazi vampirism thrown in. Thiel thinks he can harness the virility of healthy young men by routinely getting blood transfusions from them. Seriously.
PayPal Thiel Moved to USA at age 1, so is forever called German-American. Ha!
Oh wait the cunt is also a NZ citizen, so shouldn't he be called German-Kiwi-American?
Billionaires get away with murder. Epstein didn't kill himself either.
What, billionaires aren't allowed to do what they want?
To be fair, if I had a sudden moment of clarity where I realised that I was being used by one of the world's most evil people, I might off myself
You say that, but if you were in their bed? And able to remove one of the world's most evil people from the mortal coil with great ease?
I dunno, man, if you're gonna go, do the rest of us a favor on the way out.
If you're in their bed chances are that you aren't that great either.
Abusers in positions of power use this as a means of protecting themselves. By making their victims engage in acts of abuse against others they force them into a catch-22 if they try to expose them. They achieve ultimate victory over the victim by making them adopt the ideology of their abuser, trapping them in a hierarchy within which they will do anything to maintain their position. By drawing you into their system of abuse they not only make you afraid to expose them, but rob you of your desire to do so.
The billionaire that realized you are trying to air their secrets would beat you to the punch. This was no suicide anymore than the two boeing whistleblowers were suicides.
But he’s such a great guy. He’s even trying to warn us that Greta Thunberg is the Antichrist. 
You know I wonder if the elections in florida are rigged so none of the creepy billionaires who live there can be investigated/prosecuted. Somebody should run there on reopening suspicious death cases.
Link to mysterious shit?
he was defenestrated in florida, after he was voicng his concern about thiels anti-lgbtq+ inititive by helping the gop. the last thiel want his MODEL bf to publically denounce THiel, which hurts his image in helping the gop. this was also immediately buried on most platforms that reported his death.
to a layperson it sounds like his gay conservative lover killed him for speaking out against injustice
Elites fuck children, do gay stuff in secret because they're ashamed, yet they push hard to monitor US and OUR CHILDREN. Why? Because they assume we're like them.
I mean... it sounds like he lived under mysterious circumstances too.
