idk if there is a more up to date one, it's crazy that their policies decisions are in the form of regulae posts it looks like

I'm saying this because lots of people ask "who will buy your products when the people are poor?" to the companies,

but the companies don't actually care whether you buy their products. As long as they have extracted enough out of you that they already own everything, further profits are not a priority.

I'm saying this in the context of people getting poorer and poorer and the current cost-of-living crisis, where companies don't pay a living wage anymore and people ask "who will buy your products when we can't afford to?". It was never about revenue, it was always about ending up owning everything.

Many of the insane things occurring during Trump's second term, were put in place by Trump's former Chief Technology Officer and current Science Advisor, Michael Kratsios, who was first brought into the Trump White House by Peter Thiel in 2017 to assist the president with technology policy.

Musk is the face of taking a chainsaw to American government, but stepped back just in time for Kratsios' Senate confirmation to allow him to quietly pick up where he and Thiel left off in 2020.

Immigrants are the canary in the coal mine, but Americans won't understand that all of our civil liberties are under attack until it's too late.

Whether the message is coming from Robespierre's Committee of Public Safety during the French Revolution, associates of the Heritage Foundation using Vermeule's legal theories in the courtroom, or associates of Thiel spreading Yarvin's neo-reactionary theories at tech conferences, the core message has always been the same. The elite authority know what's best for We the People. At what point will Americans decide that civil liberties and human rights are not an acceptable cost of doing business with the elites?

Also, I have mentioned this previously, but there is evidence to suggest the Heritage Foundation, may have taken advantage of the power vacuum in post Soviet Russia, and used it as a test run for creating a privatized corporate government.

I am working on a follow up article that will cover more detail. I am not sure if Thiel only partnered with the Heritage Foundation in order to regain a seat at the global table, but I am sure that deregulation and privatization are what both groups hope will cement their grip on power and their legacy.
