Everything Thiel does makes sense when you learn he literally went to a nazi school in a white supremacist town in Africa.

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.

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

The url works in Safari, but I suspect if you replace ‘%28’ with ‘(‘ and ‘%29’ with ‘)’ it will work…

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.

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.

Yes. Thiel was getting "young blood" infusions from this guy. No reason to suspect hasn't continued with a new donor. Literal vampire shit.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Most techbro billionaires are convinced the world is ending and they think that NZ is the best place to build their doomsday bunkers if it does. So a lot of them have effectively bribed the government for passports.

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..

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.

To be fair, there probably is a lot of shame and self-loathing that comes after sleeping with Peter Thiel.

I hear you, but the best way to learn about this is by watching Silicone Valley. While depressing facts like the existence of blood boys are revealed, the show is net worth it.

Total coincidence their government pulled hard right in the last decade.

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.
