Thiel Met With The Racist Fringe As He Went All In On Trump

Buzzfeed, 11 Sept 2020, Rosie Gray and Ryan Mac:

The venture capitalist and Facebook board member staked his reputation on a Trump presidency. Now what does he have to show for it?

Four years ago, billionaire venture capitalist and Facebook board member Peter Thiel made one of his biggest bets: He went all in on Donald Trump. The normally tight-lipped and enigmatic Thiel gave a very public imprimatur as a prominent speaker at the Republican convention, tying his reputation as one of the most successful figures in modern tech to a presidential candidate despised throughout Silicon Valley.

“Tonight,” he said in a nationally televised address at the convention, “I urge all of my fellow Americans to stand up and vote for Donald Trump.” He made history as the convention’s first speaker to declare himself “proud to be gay” and he extolled Trump not as “a return to the past” but rather a return to “that bright future.”

Thiel was used to making risky bets. He was a startup veteran, a PayPal cofounder who wrote Facebook a check for $500,000 months after it launched. But Trump was different. Few in Silicon Valley wanted in on that round. Still, just a week after the Access Hollywood tape leaked of Trump boasting about sexually assaulting women — a clip that sent other prominent Republicans fleeing — Thiel ponied up $1.25 million.

The donation was well known. But what has not been previously reported is just how much Thiel was willing to gamble on Trump’s MAGA movement during the 2016 election. His bet went far beyond money, speeches, or even mainstream Republican politics. Even as Thiel staked his reputation on the candidate in public, he met in private with the racist fringe that felt emboldened by Trump’s rise to power.

BuzzFeed News can reveal that in at least one instance during the summer of 2016, Thiel hosted a dinner with one of the most influential and vocal white nationalists in modern-day America — a man who has called for the creation of a white ethnostate and played a key role in an effort to mainstream white nationalism as the “alt-right.” And then Thiel emailed the next day to say how much he’d enjoyed his company.

Among those on the racist right, Thiel’s outreach raised hopes that his financial bet on Trump would extend into the ascendant alt-right movement, which despite its prominence was a collection of small and often cash-strapped organizations. One avowed white nationalist privately speculated that Thiel’s money and influence could have made him “our George Soros.”

And new to the portfolio of Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, is the introduction of a controversial bill to downgrade certain statutory rape cases not involving heterosexual sex–or vaginal penetration–if the act was deemed consensual. The new legislation would allow a judge to decide whether a potential sex offender who committed statutory rape against a minor who is less than 10 years younger than them must register as a sex offender. Democrat Assemblyman Lorena Gonzalez initially blocked the proposal, saying, “No sex between a 24 and 14 year old is consensual.”

In addition to the controversial bill proposed by Sen. Wiener and his involvement behind downgrading HIV transmission from a felony to a misdemeanor; last year, the California Senator strived to allow illegal immigrants to run for Democratic Party seats.

Wikipedia: Wiener was born to a Jewish family in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania… In 2017, Wiener originated three bills centered around HIV and LGBT issues. He co-authored Senate Bill 239, which lowered the penalty of exposing someone to HIV without their knowledge and consent from a felony to a misdemeanor. Wiener said that the laws had unfairly singled out HIV-positive people. The bill passed and was signed by Governor Jerry Brown on October 6, 2017

California Senator’s Legislation Will Exempt Some LGBT Pedophiles From Registering as Sex Offenders

The same senator downgraded intentionally infecting someone with HIV to a misdemeanor.

National File, 2 Sept 2020:

The California Senator who was behind the move to downgrade of the intentional transmission of HIV from a felony to a misdemeanor now is now spearheading new legislation that would allow a judge to decide whether a potential sex offender who committed statutory rape against a minor who is less than 10 years younger than them must register as a sex offender.

The controversial bill introduced by Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, served to downgrade certain statutory rape cases not involving heterosexual sex–or vaginal penetration–if the act was deemed consensual. This law would allow judges to use their own discretion when determining whether, for example, a 24-year-old who statutorily raped a 15-year-old, must register as a sex offender.

“Last night the CA State Legislature passed #SB145 and it now goes to Gov. Newsom. It would lower the penalties for adults who have sex [with] willing same-sex minors. Judge could decide if adult has to register as sex offender if the offender is within 10 years of age of victim,” wrote California journalist Bill Melugin on Twitter.

Via the San Francisco Examiner:

Currently, while consensual sex between 15- to 17-year-olds and a partner within 10 years of age is illegal, vaginal intercourse between the two does not require an offender to register as a sex offender. Other forms of intercourse such as oral and anal intercourse require sex offender registration.

That practice, according to Wiener, disproportionately targets young LGBT people, who usually cannot engage in vaginal intercourse.

Senate Bill 145 would put an end to “blatant discrimination against young LGBT people engaged in consensual activity,” Wiener said in a statement.

“They’re not gonna stop and they should not let up, beware!” - Kamala Harris on support for BLM riots

Conservative News Daily, Youtube, 27 August 2020:

Clip of Kamala Harris speaking to Stephen Colbert in June is going viral again, as the party attempts to pivot away from their support of the violent riots.

Stephen Colbert: I want to be clear that I know that there are still “protests” that are happening in major cities across The United States…

Kamala Harris (smiles enthusiastically) Yeah!

Stephen Colbert: ...we’re just not seeing the reporting on it…that I had for the first few weeks.

Kamala Harris: Right, that’s right… but they’re not going to stop! They’re not going to stop! This is a movement I’m telling you! They’re not going to stop. And everyone beware! Because they’re not going to stop… it is gonna ... they’re not gonna stop before election day in November and they’re not going to stop after election day. And that should be, everyone should take note of that, on both levels. That this isn’t, they’re not going to let up, and they should not, and we should not!

The truth hurts, hopefully

Barrister Richard Booth QC tweeted “This is utterly disgraceful from the Home Office, painting lawyers as villains. A slippery and dangerous slope”.

It would be a “slippery and dangerous slope” for subversive, money grubbing “activist lawyers” if the government did the right thing and didn’t just talk around the problem.

MSN.com 27 Aug 2020

The Home Office has been accused of “painting lawyers as villains” amid a row over migrant crossings.

More migrants have arrived in Dover on Thursday morning as Britain shakes off the high winds of Storm Francis.

The new arrivals – brought in on Border Force speedboats – were taken ashore in the Kent port.

It comes as the Home Office faces criticism over its renewed attack on “activist lawyers” which it says are hindering their efforts to deport migrants.

A video posted to its Twitter account on Wednesday evening showed a moving graphic of deportation planes leaving the UK.

The clip has been branded “scandalous” and “utterly disgraceful” by senior law figures, and many on social media likened it to something from the TV show Dad’s Army.

More than 5,000 migrants have crossed to the UK in small boats so far in 2020, analysis by the PA news agency shows.

Home Office@ukhomeoffice

Small boat crossings are totally unnecessary and we continue to return migrants with no right to be in the UK.

Another flight left today with more planned in the coming weeks.

The Law Society condemned the video, and president Simon Davis said: “Attacks on the integrity of the legal profession undermine the rule of law.

“To describe lawyers who are upholding the law as ‘activist lawyers’ is misleading and dangerous.

“We should be proud that we live in a country where legal rights cannot be overridden without due process, and we should be proud that we have legal professionals who serve the rule of law.”

On Reparations for Blacks - A Proposal from Beau Albrecht

Impressions of Dr. Edward Dutton following this video, “Why Virtue-Signallers Are psychopaths and “Ethics” is Just Emotional Manipulation”, 20 August 2020.

I haven’t liked much of Ed Dutton’s content, usually finding it scientistic, philosophically off the mark - worse, led by the discourse that Jewry is altercasting for White reactionaries (against “The Left!”, a whole (((marketed))) charcterology thereof) - and sometimes his opinions/judgments are in just plain bad taste; while he annoyingly seems to assume a quanta of objectivity, which should thus be everybody’s taste. He goes along with all the Jewish abuses of terms, concepts and misdirection, altercasting against “THE Left.” In fact, his take - along with Keith Woods and Richard Spencer - on “post modernity”, “hippies” and so on, was so annoying that it necessitated these posts, “Do Joel Davis and Richard Spencer Want to Suck Jewish Cock? (subtitle, “or would they prefer to take it up the ass?”). And White Post Modernity: corrects reactionary chase of (((red capes))) fucking up necessary pomo ideas

However, this piece, “Why Virtue-Signallers Are psychopaths and ‘Ethics’ is Just Emotional Manipulation” was decent; and his preceding video, on “Why All Non-Autistics Are Liars”, seems to be taking a corrective direction; though it still suffers a bit from scientistic rigidity and a disappointing ending - the honest autist goes transgender. Growing up in the 60s and 70s, transgenders didn’t exist as far as we knew, and so I still find it irritating to even talk about them - an obnoxiously freakish, rare phenomenon that has (((become))) part of mainstream discourse; even though Edward is not defending transgenderism, it is disappointing that that is where the hero of the honest autist story wound-up; and I still see the whole issue as a distraction, an issue so absurd that it is scarcely worth discussion.
