14. They Are Coming For *US* And It Won't Be Pretty... (Mainstreaming "Gas Chambers")

I totally 2nd and underscore your concern and belief, that this is MUCH further down the dystopian path than Project 2025...

...which is quite something, considering how horrific Project 2025 is.

Mike Flynn's 5GW book has a part in there about how you dehumanize people so people will willingly kill them...

...this is a playbook for exactly that... laying the historical, philosophical justification...

Peter Thiel's 2009 article on Cato Unbound was the seed which gave rise to the intellectual justifications for the Neoreactionary movement, aka "Dark Enlightenment."

And it's important that we make all of this far far far better known than it is now.

(FWIW, Thiel has contributed to any number of rw candidates, apparently among them Rubio, Cruz, Hawley... but especially the 10-15M in the 2022 Senate campaign of JD Vance which took him from the back of the pack -- along with Trump's endorsement, to winning the Ohio Senate Seat.

Thiel is one of those evil movers who has, not just tremendous wealth, but tremendous influence - a leading light, if not THE leading light of a group known as the "PayPal Mafia." It was his sending out a message which led to the run of, and the subsequent failure and demise of, Silicon Valley Bank. The impact on the FDIC wasn't good, and nearly seems like yet another way for some of these evil creatures to transfer money meant for the good of society to the pockets of the 0.01%

If you have the time, Max Chafkin's book on Thiel, "The Contrarian", is well worth your time. While not mentioned in the book to my recollection, it has been said that he was Trump's tech advisor in 2015 and it was he who introduced the Trump campaign to Cambridge Analytica.

These people are NOT playing around, they are dead serious, with an emphasis on dead.
