I just don’t get it. These men want power? Want more money? Want control? Of what? Because if they succeed, they will have power money and control of an empty broke barren country.
They are emotionally stunted and think that someone is going to take away their wealth. There is a belief amongst some billionaires that society will collapse and that they and only they carry the abilities to live through it. Many have hi-tech bunkers , built in the desert and New Zealand for example.
Of course they are deluded if they think that they can insulate themselves from the collapse , humans are social creatures and without society we cannot live for long without the support others. The more worrying and obvious thing to me is that their childlike fear and obeisance to concocted power structures is actually driving us to societal collapse. I don’t think this new over class necessarily wants this collapse but some of them like Thiel are so detached from reality that I don’t think they *care* if it does.
I know. I always thought that myself. Whats the game plan if they have taken everything. How would even they survive in such a empty ruined Country? Greed and power over who or what? Why? Just to be King if the mountain, then what? Also Trump won't be the king. All so horrible and stupid.
We will have nothing, need everything, be completely dependent upon corporations with money for everything, like the company towns of the 19th century railroads. We will have no choice.
If they continue to push towards the utilization of non renewable energy sources and cease clean energy projects, there won’t be a planet to take over.
While tomatoes rot in the fields, you have to wonder at how completely narrow minded these people are and the hubris of them thinking they're going to survive. Their days are numbered just like anyone else and a new, younger set will take their places with their own visions. Nothing is permanent. There is a heck of a lot more people than 83 in this country, and if these men think they are safe, they're delusional.
My questions are more about their recent immigration round ups of children and toddlers in foster care being taken away. What are they doing by trafficking children? Is RFK jr involved and wanting to prove his theories about autism? I worry about the unbelievable harm being done to children and the possible motives behind the round ups. If adults are being kept in inhumane conditions, where are they keeping the children?
I'm concerned it's more along the lines of sexual exploitation or medical research. They have the adults for forced labor. Either way, it's evil and needs to be stopped.
Those bastards belong on a gulag. Or one of their concentration camps where innocent people are brutalized and disappeared. They are worse than anyone, and Dump is just a temporary means to an end. Shady Vance is their boy, and their end is destruction of our country and our way of life. And the mutherfukkers think they have some kind of right to do it. Ugh, I can't even. 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
I agree completely! How dare they? Especially since what they've shown is how truly morally bankrupt they are and how little they have to offer society. Elite my ass!
Mar-a-Gulago. I propose Locking Them All Up in Frump Tower, home already to the Russian Mafia & who knows how many other grifters. Simply lock the doors, install ICE & other pardoned Jan 6 Insurrectionists as jailers, and they can all send out for Chinese. Or Russian. or Korean take out, until they rot & die. Turn Mar-a-Gulago into the latest detention camp for corrupt politicians and their lemmings.
Nice Piece ,Dissent in Bloom ! Looking behind the scenes to where the subversion is occurring, I wish I could get others to PAY ATTENTION !! So sick and tired of magatz rhetoric!!
I read every article I find on THF! They are redefining this country while settled in the background and most people don’t have a clue. Thanks for sharing.
Find out which one (or more) of the 83 billionaires are sponsoring the global child pedophile ring that Epstein was the fall guy for!! These folks are pulling more than just political strings and then again getting influential people into compromising positions seems to go hand in hand with political maneuvering, does it not??
As well as Dark Money by Jane Meyer, Jesus and John Wayne by Kristin Du Mez, The Power Worshippers by Katherine Stewart, and a host of other works reporting on the founding and international operations of other fellow traveller organizations (e.g., Opus by Gareth Gore).
The fact that this fascist coup appears to be succeeding despite the solid reporting of its funding, operations, and democracy-killing goals is in part due to the capture (whether by purchase or threats) of so many media operations by the same democracy-hating folks. We who care about a society that functions fairly for everyone need to increase the number of people who learn about and take this threat seriously enough to interrupt their comfortable daily routine. We need to organize and fund a media environment to get the message out even more broadly, and take even more action - strikes, boycotts, marches, film campaigns to capture immigration atrocities, identification of holding facilities and transport methods, researching conditions at deportation destinations, and grassroots monitoring of election board activities respecting voting machines.
And let's just leave the eviscerating "Can't we just all get along" bs aside for now. Debating with people who do not think you deserve a voice in governance (or a good job) in the first place doesn't even let you tread water - it pushes you under and before you realize it, you cannot breathe anymore. Make no mistake - the lines are drawn - they drew them and have been enforcing them in the open since Newt Gingrich worked hard to destroy every aspect of collegiality in Congress. We just have to be honest enough with ourselves to see them and act accordingly, not shrinking from the short term pain.
Have no illusions. This is a war brought upon us by greedy, power-hungry, self-righteous assholes - some battles will be lost, some battles will be won, but we outnumber them by millions. Nothing good comes without cost. The privileged in power do not yield any ground without a fight. Buckle up.
Thank goodness for you!!! You are one of the smartest people out there writing about this stuff and connecting the dots!!! I did not know that Peter Thiel and Leonard Leo knew each other. I don’t think Thiel gives a rat’s ass about the theology but it is the power that gets him going and he knows it when he sees it. What a mess we are in!!! I don’t think we will ever vote again in a rigged election because of these two and Elon Musk!
Thank you for documenting what has happened in this scary era of history. This country needs a reboot. I wonder if it’s too late for people to wake up. Democracy as we knew it is over and never coming back. We need a new and better country. I hate living in a country run by people who literally hope that people I love get sick and die. This plantation needs to burn to the ground. #strike
The longtime Federalist Society kingmaker, Leo has not campaigned for a single vote, but he has installed the majority of the current U.S. Supreme Court. His fingerprints are all over decisions that have reshaped American life, the rollback of reproductive rights, the expansion of corporate power, and the undermining of voting protections. His influence is not exercised through speeches but through judicial appointments. His legacy is not a term of office, but a generation of rulings.
Peter Thiel, the tech billionaire and co-founder of PayPal, follows suit. Thiel has openly disparaged democracy as incompatible with true capitalism. He has poured millions into shaping a new political class, funding the campaigns of Blake Masters, J.D. Vance, and others, candidates molded in his ideological image. Like Leo, Thiel operates not by asking for consent from the governed, but by installing proxies who serve his vision of the world, one where disruption replaces deliberation, and the market overrides the masses.
This is the hallmark of the new ruling class. They do not govern in the traditional sense. They invest. They infiltrate. They select. They set the rules of the game before the rest of us even realize we’re playing.
It is not accidental that they remain invisible. It is tactical.
To be viral is to be vulnerable. Public scrutiny slows down agendas. Influence, when it becomes too obvious, risks being curtailed. So Leo and Thiel, and others like them, stay in the shadows, deploying wealth, ideology, and influence without the baggage of accountability.
Their power is not theoretical, it is structural. It is embedded in the Supreme Court’s lifetime appointments. It is coded into the software of our social media. It is taught in think tanks, tested in dark money PACs, and broadcast by media fronts designed to look like grassroots opinion.
We are not witnessing the erosion of democracy. We are witnessing its substitution.
Elections become theater when the casting is done behind the curtain. The names on the ballots may change, but the script is increasingly the same, written by those who never step into the limelight.
So no, Leonard Leo is not trending. Peter Thiel is not viral. And that is precisely how they win.
It amazes me that those that bought into all of the QAnon conspiracies, missed the one that is out in the open and accessible to the general public. Hey, they even wrote it down—before the election—in Project 2025.
I just don’t get it. These men want power? Want more money? Want control? Of what? Because if they succeed, they will have power money and control of an empty broke barren country.

After they take everything, they will move on
They will ruin this country, and cause secondary damage in other countries. Where are they going to go when they ruin the planet?
Musk has the answer: Mars! Although the details are still unclear.
They can import all that they need and desire. They don’t need us. They need our silence
We will have nothing, need everything, be completely dependent upon corporations with money for everything, like the company towns of the 19th century railroads. We will have no choice.
Exactly.
More like a plantation pre-1860!
The COVID pandemic and the Great Resignation radicalized the ultrawealthy.
They saw the people gaining power and they became determined to crush it by any means necessary.
This has been going a lot longer than the plague of Covid
I think they want us gone. They want the planet for themselves.
If they continue to push towards the utilization of non renewable energy sources and cease clean energy projects, there won’t be a planet to take over.
Biodiesel to run ai
They don't care

Organ harvesting?
Exactly!
Ocham’s razor? Forced labor.
I'm concerned it's more along the lines of sexual exploitation or medical research. They have the adults for forced labor. Either way, it's evil and needs to be stopped.
The best line “Trump is the empty vessel”. These guys played the long con. They were patient and determined. And rich. And they’ve all but succeeded.
I still remember the Anita Hill hearings. Most of us knew she would not be vindicated.
Yep, Reagan was a dancing puppet just like Trump.
His own children held him in contempt.
Seems like Thiel is basically just parroting Yarvin?
That guy makes me need a shower.
Tried to get through his NYT interview re impeded progress... wasn't easy.
Pretty incoherent shit.
And Thiel's face reads like a Dorian Gray novel.
ha ha ha!
Those bastards belong on a gulag. Or one of their concentration camps where innocent people are brutalized and disappeared. They are worse than anyone, and Dump is just a temporary means to an end.

Excellent overview. For more specific historical details, I also suggest Democracy in Chains by Nancy MacLean

Resist. React. Repeat.
The late Augustus Owsley Stanley told us, when confronted with similar situations in the 1960's: "There are more of us than them"

MAGA goes on about the “deep state”.
The billionaires, Leonard Leo, the Federalist Society, The Heritage Foundation, etc., are the deep state.
The republicans have always projected their evil onto the democrats.
People are starting to wake up, and see republicans for the evil, greedy, liars that they are.
Greedy old pedophiles gop
