Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Peter Thiel - Wikipedia
Born in Frankfurt, he moved with his family to the United States as an infant. He spent a portion of his upbringing in Southern Africa before the family settled in California in 1977. He studied philosophy at Stanford University, graduating with a B.A. in 1989. He then earned his J.D. from Stanford Law School in 1992.[6] After graduation, he worked as a judicial law clerk for Judge James Larry Edmondson of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, as a securities lawyer for Sullivan & Cromwell, as a speechwriter for former-U.S. Secretary of Education William Bennett and as a derivatives trader at Credit Suisse. He founded Thiel Capital Management in 1996. He co-founded PayPal in 1999, serving as chief executive officer until its sale to eBay in 2002 for $1.5 billion.
After PayPal, he founded Clarium Capital, a global macro hedge fund based in San Francisco. In 2004, he launched Palantir Technologies, a big data analysis company, and served as its chairman through 2019. In 2005, he launched Founders Fund with PayPal partners Ken Howery and Luke Nosek. Earlier, Thiel became Facebook's first outside investor when he acquired a 10.2% stake for $500,000 in August 2004. He sold the majority of his shares in Facebook for over $1 billion in 2012, but remains on the board of directors.[7] He co-founded Valar Ventures in 2010; co-founded Mithril Capital, serving as investment committee chair, in 2012; and served as a partner at Y Combinator from 2015 to 2017.[8][9][10]
Through the Thiel Foundation, Thiel governs the grant-making bodies Breakout Labs and Thiel Fellowship, and funds nonprofit research into artificial intelligence, life extension and seasteading. A co-founder of The Stanford Review, he is aconservative libertarian who is critical of high government spending, high debt levels, and foreign wars. He has donated to over 50 political figures on the American Right, including Donald Trump and Meg Whitman. He also maintains a political action committee, Free Forever.

Thiel is def one of the few good guys in Silicon Valley and Big Tech,
A lot like Musk, he is a populist at heart, and not deep state.
In fact, Much like Elon, the Swamp hates him big time, and after this week and what we might see as global financial altering results - Thiel will be Heavily involved Moving forward In what might be a new economic climate.
Yup.
I don't think either of these two twatter accounts have it spot on. US computing power is gonna be the play and its going to drive a pull back of manufacturing to the US and Mexico (as I've outlined). Essentially a digital arms / computing race w/ a parallel return to sound currencies.

A Harvard Economics professor/former IMF Chief Economist that doesn’t know shit about economics, now there’s a surprise. This dumb SOB actually said “is [bitcoin] valuable just because people think it’s valuable? That’s a bubble”. Someone needs to remind him what you learn on day one of freshman macroecon... the only reason that ANYTHING has value is because people think it’s valuable.
From another board.
If Republicans win back the House in 2022 they will make Trump Speaker of the House
I have a feeling that was the agreement that Trump and McCarthy agreed to in order to get Trump not to wreck shop and start his own party
The GOP would never have recovered from that. With Trump on board to help the GOP win back the house, I really think they will take back the house and make Trump speaker
What a glorious sight that will be the melt when that happens will make these next two years much more bearable
We have to hold strong these next two years and then Trump will be back to save us

In her defense, at her age it takes a while to get those tits in motion.
Won't take long for the Chinese spies in the OBiden admin to send the data on those to Beijing. Probably downloading now.
I find that really hard to believe
they'll be finished and released in 2026
I have thought, since my Father died, it was the death certificate which triggered this. Perhaps it's the call to the paramedics and Medical Examiner although after the Reddit stuff it could be one of the gov't lettered agencies harvesting phone calls.

this guy lost me here. Anyone who buys XRP deserves to lose their shorts.
QNT is the lower cap play to make. It’s on a run right now. But their overledger technology solves a huge problem better than XRP and unlike XRP the founder doesn’t have half the tokens dumping them on your head.
Been nice knowing you.
Or maybe they had already been produced and needed to launch 1/6 to validate their productions.
I appreciate your thinking on the subject of Q's motives. There's nothing sinister about doing some questioning of a completely anonymous source whose track record in prognostication is shaky at best.
Some of you get way to emotional over trying to look from another POV.
I've mentioned it before so i won't belabor it but anonymous sources have little to no credibility to intelligence analysis in the real world. Without some corroboration they are viewed skeptically for the exact reason you stated. There is always a chance that they are a provocateur engaging in Dezinformatsiya the Soviet term for disinformation and the term intelligence agencies use for any operation of that nature. Yes, it's a real thing, I studied it at the Army Intelligence School and learned how to do it.
Not saying one way or the other that Q is Dezinformatsiya but it certainly should be fair game to explore considering the outcome of the election. I will remain agnostic on Q until I see a credible source.
Cugs says some interesting stuff, but has also proved himself to be full of shit at times. Take everything that you read with a grade of slaw
You fuckin with me?

Trump would have to be a representative to be speaker of the house. Its not happening
I don't think he was refuting what you're saying. More that sheep would continue to buy crypto unless they shut them down soon.
Harvard and the IMF is a scary combo especially when given control of an economy in any fashion but the chances of him not being privy to coming rega would be pretty low I'd think.

Not true. We covered earlier in this thread that the Speaker doesn't need to be a rep.
Almost sounds like siege mentality, and tactics
Reading down that tweet to the Cruz AOC agreeing after all their fighting, I think this may be going on

As much as I can’t stand the establishment RNC, this is kind of standard. They certainly should support the incumbent, but this would not be the case in 2024.
Agreed. I think both accounts are reading it wrong.
I think there will be reg and a collapse not some sort of crazy growth.
I'm glad they are doing it. This way nobody bitches when he thumps the other candidates.
Witnesses brought by the dems will be able to lie their tails off knowing they will never be charged for perjury and certainly never prosecuted.Lol at this antifa soy boy...and his lawyer
