In the article below, you can learn how Peter Thiel and Palantir have seized control of all core government infrastructure. Thiel, Karp, and all of the techno-fascist billionaire friends of theirs are the biggest threats to democracy, and they’re moving rapidly, in the cover of American bureaucracy.
If you do one thing today, read and share this link. It is the tech oligarchs’ plan to take over the government and build a post-democratic America, proven to be well underway.
To understand the tech bros, we must think like them—they view our democracy as an outdated system that must be replaced:

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

The @telegraphnews.bsky.social has overstepped. Brits might be disgruntled with their public institutions, but it’s ’our’ BBC. Paying out to President Bone Spurs for hurty feelings will generate much resentment & it will land on those who orchestrated this. No-one likes a creep.

📌I can't stop banging this drum: Democrats had a spectacular Tuesday at the polls, the wind at their backs, and basically punched themselves and their voters in the face five days later.
This is political malpractice at best, and out and out brazen capitulation to their billionaire donors at worst.

And it’s one thing to be a coward in the face of your own suddenly authoritarian government who’s very able and willing to punch you if you look funny. It’s another to be one about a foreign government who can mostly only affect you tangentially and is already wrecking your investments.

I fear we are seeing in the UK what has become abundantly clear in the US: for all their power and privilege, elites and institutions are absolute cowards in the face of right-wing authoritarianism. Weak, weak, weak, as Tony Blair once said

Mail Online reports Nigel Farage says that the BBC may have no future.
He imagines bringing to an end century of public service broadcasting in the UK - because the populist politician and his US political ally Donald Trump do not want the BBC to survive
No thanks, Nigel.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.
