I already know he has ties to Thiel, and do does Trump. Thiel spoke at the 2016 and 2020 RNCs. But he doesn't have much pull apparently with the Deep State.

Unfortunately, the last sentence isn't the case. If you have time, watch the Whitney Webb video that Mister Beale posted. Thiel's company, Palantir is tied to the CIA and there's a lot more to it than that, that is very disturbing. People have to look into this stuff though, because it's not the type of thing that the mainstream media is going to talk about. Maybe Mister Beale can elaborate on this, but I highly recommend watching that video he posted.

If that's the case, have them call off the dogs.....why would Thiel publicly support someone and give them money, only to have the Deep State constantly attack him? It doesn't make sense at all.

That’s doubtful and might be propaganda. From Whitney Webb..,
Thiel also joined Vance, a former “Never Trumper,” on a visit to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago where Vance successfully won the former president’s blessing. Thiel also connected Vance to other members of the so-called PayPal mafia, like David Sacks who donated $1 million to Vance and hosted a fundraiser for him. Sacks, along with PayPal co-founder Elon Musk, were allegedly a key factor in Trump’s selection of Vance as Vice President as they ran “a secret lobbying campaign” for Vance that also included media presenter Tucker Carlson.

He is Deep State .
Keep it simple . Just like Donny Boy .
Different factions but same club .
But whom in the establishment is not -- regardless of whether they are obligated or unwitting?
The joke is that the problem is far too big and deep for the Normies and Sheeple to understand , let alone even partially solve .
Instead they witter on Twitter (X)while the "1%" laugh and laugh .
" Give them another jab " , Baal Hates is heard shouting out . "Jab the bastards ".

You need to get informed. Presidential nominees don’t pick their VP based on their children’s recommendations.
Meyerson on TAP: Would J.D. Vance Join a UAW Picket Line Outside a Tesla Factory?
"Touching as Vance’s repeated pledges to have the backs of the autoworkers and steelworkers of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin may have been, he doesn’t owe them his new pre-eminence.
"The people he owes are the billionaires of Silicon Valley, whose wealth far eclipses the mere millionaires of Wall Street.
"Wall Street—old capital—was assiduously lobbying Trump not to pick Vance, who has opposed much of the global capital regime they had created.
"But the day before Trump finally made his choice, he got a call from someone he’d not heard from in a long time: Elon Musk, who weighed in emphatically on Vance’s behalf.
"The next day, immediately following Trump’s announcement that Vance was his pick, Musk told The Wall Street Journal that he’d be donating $45 million a month to a pro-Trump PAC."
And the progs are the evil. Progressives have officially transitioned to Communist Democracy. Votes really mean nothing in primaries now and of course they stole the 2020 election and even put a medically defective person on the top of the ticket along with a 100% unqualified person as the VP.

It wouldn't do any good. They don't care.
It would be like the time my kid was was sixteen and I tried to explain how bad obsessive smart phone use, video gaming and porn were for him. Whatever.
A lark!
BINGO.
Yeah. . . this is just verifiable proof once more, Trump is naught but the consummate con-man. Rather than destroy the swamp and the Deep State, he has become the very thing he spoke out against, and now is enabling it more than any other president in history. smh.
He will be the one to make an American Social Credit score here, to track and trace everyone. I remember when Pay-Pal had announced they were going to charge everyone a thousand dollars if they detected any comments on-line they didn't like, and their customers revolted. . .
. . .and now? Trump is bringing these folks into his team. smdh.
It goes beyond just green. At a certain point, some of the folks we are talking about, have more money than entire corporations and nations.
Then it is about unlimited power, and something called trans-humanism. That is partially what that whole manipulating the building blocks of life are about. A lot of these folks want to live as long as possible, and they want their own off-spring to likewise, run the show as well. If that involves interfacing with machines and computers to live forever, so be it.
This is partially where that digital ID panopticon, and total information awareness desire, arise out of. The lust for not just money and monetization of the entire Earth, its population and its resources, but the lust for absolute domination and control of everything.
The oligarchs running the neo-liberals in the DNC, are just as guilty of those running them on the right. The plans for Blackrock and Vanguard to buy up and monetize every resource and anything that can get their hands on in Ukraine and Russia are causing untold death and destruction right now.

Peter Thiel Is Not a Crypto True Believer
A tale of billionaires and bagholdersBy Max Chafkin
January 24, 2023 at 12:00 PM EST
". . . Sadly it doesn’t appear Thiel himself believed any of that. We know now that at roughly the same time Thiel was talking about the price of Bitcoin going to the moon—both at the Miami event and at an earlier one in October 2021—he himself was privately dumping the currency on investors like the ones who had come to see his speech. Last week the Financial Times reported that Thiel’s venture capital firm, Founders Fund, managed to liquidate its Bitcoin position just before the crypto markets crashed in May. According to the FT, the Founders Fund unloaded the “vast majority of its entire cryptocurrency portfolio by the end of March 2022,” which is to say seven days before Thiel said that anyone who failed to buy Bitcoin should be regarded as a threat. When Thiel was listing crypto’s enemies at the April event, he should have listed himself.
I’ve written before about FUD—the tendency of crypto executives to blame any negative news on misinformation seeded by competitors or short sellers—but another term of art is useful here: “bagholder.” The word refers to investors who buy a worthless asset before it crashes and, as a result, have no one to sell it to. The bagholders in this case were anyone in the audience naive enough to take Thiel’s extremely bad financial advice, or who continued to do business with the crypto companies backed by Thiel and his affiliates.
These crypto companies include the exchange FTX—Thiel and Mr. Wonderful have that in common—and BlockFi, a Thiel-backed service that tried to persuade people to take money out of their savings accounts and put it in crypto instead. Both companies promoted crypto as a no-lose proposition for normal savers, and both are now bankrupt, leaving the investors who trusted them with huge potential losses. Thiel will also almost certainly lose money on these bankruptcies, too, but he’ll be OK. Thanks in part to his well-timed Bitcoin sale, Founders Fund returned $13 billion to investors over a two-year period, according to the FT.
There’s something unseemly about the prospect of a billionaire reaping a windfall while calling anyone who does something similar an enemy. On the other hand, Thiel has made a career out of financially savvy hypocrisy—often staking out ideological positions that seem almost diametrically opposed to his financial interests. As I wrote in my book, The Contrarian: Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley’s Pursuit of Power, he quit PayPal after selling the company to EBay in part because he wanted to bet against EBay on the stock market. He founded Palantir, a data-mining defense contractor, even as he adopted the pose of a hardcore antigovernment libertarian. And he promoted “America First” nationalists even as he was shopping for citizenship in other countries.
Nor was Thiel alone in seeming to seek out bagholders. His 100x Bitcoin prediction was almost identical to one made by Tyler Winklevoss, who spun the “Case for $500k Bitcoin,” as part of an effort to promote the currency to retail investors, who are now trying to figure out if they’ll ever be able to recover the $900 million they put into the Winklevii’s version of BlockFi. Meanwhile, Marc Andreessen and his venture capital firm, Andreessen Horowitz, spent years relentlessly promoting the transformative power of web3, while at the same time selling tokens that have since fallen in value. . . . ."

How Palantir Conquered the World
". . . So, what is Palantir, exactly?
As it turns out, that question is surprisingly easy to answer. Palantir is a front company for a once-secret military and intelligence project to collect and data mine every available piece of information about you. The hard part is extracting that simple answer from the mass of lies, obfuscation, untruths, half-truths and contextless facts that are presented in the lamestream media's coverage of the company.
You see, the official story of this Silicon Valley surveillance specialist outfit—repeated in any number of mainstream puff pieces—is that Peter Thiel founded Palantir Technologies in 2004 as a vehicle for turning PayPal's fraud detection software into a marketable product. His dream was for Palantir to assist the growing national security leviathan in creating a system for analyzing financial activity for signs of terrorist activity.
But, according to the "libertarian" Thiel (who works with and profits from the national security state, promotes warmongering politicians, writes paeans to Leo Strauss and Carl Schmitt, and, oh by the way, just happens to be a member of Bilderberg's steering committee), Palantir's software is not about constructing the most intrusive system of electronic surveillance ever devised. No, of course not! It's all about protecting civil liberties!
From its inception, Palantir was conceived as "a mission-oriented company," Thiel told Forbes in a 2013 profile of the company and its founders. "I defined the problem as needing to reduce terrorism while preserving civil liberties."
This is such a bald-faced and easily debunkable lie that it could only be regurgitated by the mockingbird repeaters of the dinosaur media. But it's easy to see why the dutiful stenographers of the lapdog press would repeat it. After all, when it comes to Palantir, there are always more interesting things to report on than how it came to be founded or what it actually does.
Just take the name of the company: Palantir. It is a reference to the magical seeing stones that the wizards of J. R. R. Tolkien's mythical The Lord of the Rings universe use to see through space and time. This whimsical naming convention carries over into what one reporter has labeled a "casual, nerdy culture" that permeates the company:
Its offices are named after locations in the Tolkien fable. Thus, Palantir's Palo Alto headquarters is The Shire, its office in McLean, Virginia (located just six miles from the CIA), is Rivendell; its Washington, D.C., branch is dubbed Minas Tirith, etc.
It has a hotline called the Batphone that allows engineers to anonymously report to company officials any customer requests that they consider to be unethical.
Two of its core analytic software programs, Gotham and Metropolis, are named after cities in the DC Comics universe.
One of the conference rooms in The Shire has been converted into a children's ball pit.
Oh, how delightfully quirky! Surely no Silicon Valley startup with such an eclectic working environment could be involved in anything evil, could they?
To be fair, a number of the company profiles in the corporate press—a 2012 corporate profile from The Washingtonian, for example, or a 2013 profile of the company's eclectic philosophy grad CEO in Forbes, or a 2020 New York Times Magazine piece on "Does Palantir See Too Much?"—do gesture to the creepier facets of Palantir.
Why does Palantir's CEO, Alex Karp, insist on two-way mirrors for his office windows? Why does the company use acoustic transducers to vibrate the glass of their office windows, creating white noise to disrupt possible electronic eavesdroppers? Was Palantir's Prism program related to the NSA's PRISM program? (SPOILER: It sure wasn't! Nothing to see here, folks!)
But still, one is left feeling that something is wanting after reading these MSM articles. It's as if they have the pieces of a puzzle sitting in front of them but they still haven't actually put those pieces together.
In order to complete that puzzle, you need to turn to an independent researcher like Whitney Webb. As Webb points out in her new, must-read, two-volume tour de force, One Nation Under Blackmail, Palantir was not founded in 2004—as the corporate presstitutes continually assert—but in May 2003. (The professional journos probably missed this small detail because they'd have to actually read through SEC filings to discover that Thiel's origin story of Palantir is a demonstrable lie, and what dinosaur media "reporter" has time to do that?)
Now, whether the company was founded in 2003 or 2004 may seem like a small detail at first glance. But, upon closer inspection, this data discrepancy—and the fact that Thiel has so often lied about the true founding of the company—provides a clue to Palantir's actual origin. . . . . "

Reality, is never what you think it is.
When you do a deep dive, into the reality of the JD Vance, what the MSM is telling, is not what the truth is at first blush. No person that is truly against giant multi-billion dollar corporations running small businesses and the lives of every day people, could support this monstrosity once they dig down, investigate, get informed, and KNOW the truth.
The entire narrative of the establishment is based on one big lie.

Palantir: The PayPal-offshoot Becomes a Weapon in the War Against Whistleblowers and WikiLeaks
Palantir: The PayPal-offshoot Becomes a Weapon in the War Against Whistleblowers and WikiLeaks
The Palantir document notes that most well-known journalistic professionals “with a liberal bent . . .if pushed will choose professional preservation over cause, such is the mentality of most business professionals.”www.mintpressnews.com
And what would you expect the average person to do about any of this? There is nothing any of us can do. Put value in the things they can never control, your personal integrity, your faith, your love for others, your relationship with God. They cannot touch these things regardless of how much money they have or how much control they exert.
