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 Vice President. Now he controls your public health too. 1/

Do you think the Gawker thing made him want to take over? He seems so vengeful.

Thiel was vengeful and hateful before the Gawker thing. His Stanford Review articles - those few that are not buried deep in Stanford archives - are toxic and horrible, just vileness projected out on the world. Maybe it's sublimated self-hatred but there's nothing to feel sorry for.

Oh I don’t feel sorry for him, I feel sorry for us, because we are and will be living this wrath which is hard to process. Have you posted those articles? I suppose they aren’t hard to search for? Sounds like they should be passed around. Wonder why no one tried to correct his toxicity back then..

Are they dressed alike on purpose? Also-he does not look remotely healthy. Though he does seem more than a little bit terrified of his beef jerky friend.

As of the moment, RFK, Jr. cannot hire a new CDC acting chief since the current Senate-confirmed CDC chief has not been formally and personally fired by Trump, which he is reluctant to do since if there is a public health emergency he'll be blamed.

No one's even trying to hide the Thiel takeover anymore. Jim O'Neill has been a key Thiel lieutenant for nearly 20 years. He ran the Thiel foundation, Thiel's Clarium Capital and Mithril Capital (that's the one that employed JD Vance). He's on the board of Thiel's "Seasteading Institute". 2/

Jim O'Neill's not just a Thiel lieutenant, he's a true acolyte, fervently pushing all Peter's fruitcake ideas: building government-free floating cities on the ocean. Achieving eternal life. Getting kids to drop out of college. And he thinks drug safety testing is for wimps. 3/

The new head of CDC is not a doctor or scientist. He has no science training at all; he's a humanities major who caught Peter Thiel's eye and spent two decades fluffing his mad-king dreams. O'Neill ran Clarium Capital into the ground - it lost 90% of its value - but Peter kept him on. 4/

Nothing in Jim O'Neill's history prepares him to safeguard our public health. What he's prepared to do is impose Peter Thiel's visions on the American people. And if Trump fades and Thiel's protege JD Vance takes the presidency, Thiel will own your government, bottom to top. 5/

This account covers Peter Thiel because Thiel groomed the alt-right influencers who brought the crowds to the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021. Thiel has wanted political power for a long, long time. He didn't get it on Jan 6, but now he is taking it. People need to see the danger and fight back. 6/

Thiel's power grab is already upending the world. Remember yesterday's scandal, that the Trump admin has been running active measures against our NATO ally Denmark, to get Greenland to secede? That's a Thiel mad-king project too: our ambassador to DK is Peter Thiel's close friend Ken Howery. 7/

And the chud just named acting director of the CDC is Jim O’Neil, former director of the Thiel Foundation and of the Thiel Fellowship. Thiel’s people are everywhere.

The clap-out was not for the CDC director. It was for three senior CDC officials, longtime civil servants, who resigned rather than continue. Hundreds of CDC employees took time off today to pay their respects and show their concern.
