Homosexual Rage:
Peter Thiel funded a lawsuit that bankrupted Gawker Media after the publication outed him as gay, though he claimed his motivation was to defend journalism, not revenge.

Gawker published an article in 2007 revealing Thiel's sexual orientation, which he had not publicly disclosed.

The lawsuit, filed by Hulk Hogan, was related to the publication of a sex tape, but Thiel's involvement was a direct response to Gawker's earlier outing of him.

The legal battle led to Gawker filing for bankruptcy and eventually being sold.

Spoiler: temp storage

Lobbyists have helped Palantir establish links with congressional leadership and key committees that are essential to its bottom line. But the company has also engaged in a softer form of influence building, creating a foundation to promote policy ideas that serve to advance its Washington agenda.

The company quietly launched the Palantir Foundation for Defense Policy and International Affairs in 2023. The organization, which was granted non-profit tax status in March 2024, describes itself as non-partisan and says it plans to sponsor academic research, fellowships, and conferences on national security issues.

The foundation’s inaugural Atlantic & Pacific Forum, held in May 2024, focused on the role of AI in warfare—a topic central to Palantir’s product offerings. The event, co-sponsored by Foreign Policy magazine, featured a number of speakers with defense tech experience. They included Linda Lourie, who served in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy from 2021 to 2022 and previously worked at the Pentagon in a variety of roles including general counsel of the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU). The DIU is devoted to accelerating the military's adoption of commercial technology. Another speaker, Nina Kollars, served as a special adviser to the undersecretary of defense for research and engineering in the Biden administration.

Lourie and Kollars did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The Palantir foundation also publishes a journal about technology and national security called The Republic. The first issue, released in July 2024, included a piece by Palantir’s Jacob Helberg that argues that “AI is the pivotal technology in U.S.-China competition” and “the U.S. government and Silicon Valley must seriously partner to protect democracy from the autocrats looking to dismantle it.”

By funding conferences, academic papers, and policy commentary, Palantir can create an echo chamber effect around ideas that are favorable to its business interests.

The foundation’s plans for fellowships also appear to be a part of this strategy. While its website gives only a bare-bones description of the fellowship program, such initiatives can be powerful tools for influencing government. As TTP has previously reported, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt funded a program that placed dozens of fellows in influential Biden administration posts that often overlap with his private financial interests.

Schmidt is closely tied to Peter Thiel and Palantir. Both Schmidt and Thiel back America’s Frontier Fund (AFF), a nonprofit venture fund that invests in Palantir and other U.S. defense tech companies. (An AFF representative once reportedly boasted that war with China would be good for the fund's portfolio.) Schmidt has urged the U.S. government to invest more in AI research and development to compete with China, without mentioning his personal investments in AI startups that could benefit from such R&D.

Spoiler: State Dept Econ/Trade Official

Jacob Helberg
-senior advisor to Palantir CEO Alex Karp.

Gregory Barbaccia

Spoiler: temp storage

Palantir has seen its shares soar in recent weeks, boosted by strong financial results and expectations that the company will benefit from the second Trump administration. The company’s key government contracts include deals to provide AI targeting technology (Maven Smart System) to the U.S. military and a battle management system (TITAN) to the U.S. Army.

To keep those government sales flowing, Palantir is building an extensive influence network in Washington, following a strategy honed by Big Tech and other corporate giants. The company has hired a slew of well-connected players from Congress and federal agencies, ramped up lobbying activity, and created a foundation to bankroll policy-shaping research, conferences, and public commentary. This effort, which is mostly taking place below the radar, reflects Palantir’s ambitions to establish itself as a permanent player in the U.S. defense-intelligence sector in the Trump years—and beyond.

It invests in companies to keep the Central Intelligence Agency, and other intelligence agencies, equipped with the latest in information technology in support of United States intelligence capability.

Website:

---

Spoiler: History

Originally named Peleus and known as In-Q-It, In-Q-Tel was "the brainchild" of former Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet.

Gilman Louie was In-Q-Tel's first CEO and Norm Augustine, a former CEO of Lockheed Martin, led the board of directors.

In-Q-Tel's mission is to identify and invest in companies developing cutting-edge technologies that serve United States national security interests.

Congress approved funding for In-Q-Tel, which was increased in later years.

Origins of the corporation can also be traced to Ruth A. David, who headed the Central Intelligence Agency's Directorate of Science & Technology in the 1990s and promoted the importance of rapidly advancing information technology for the CIA.

In-Q-Tel now engages with entrepreneurs, growth companies, researchers, and venture capitalists to deliver technologies that provide superior capabilities for the CIA, DIA, NGA, and the wider intelligence community.

In-Q-Tel concentrates on three broad commercial technology areas: software, infrastructure and materials sciences.

In-Q-Tel sold 5,636 shares of Google, worth over US$2.2 million, on November 15, 2005.

The share transfer was a result of Google's acquisition of Keyhole, Inc, the CIA-funded satellite mapping software now known as Google Earth.

In August 2006, In-Q-Tel reviewed more than 5,800 business plans and invested approximately $150M in more than 90 companies.

As of 2016, In-Q-Tel listed 325 investments, but more than 100 were secret, according to the Washington Post.

Matt Danzeisen
Peter Theil's "wife"​

Spoiler

Matt Danzeisen is the partner of famous American entrepreneur, venture capitalist and author Peter Andreas Thiel.

Danzeisen, who is said to be serving as a portfolio manager at Thiel Capital, has garnered much attention for his marriage with his long-time billionaire boyfriend, Thiel.

The homosexual couple announced their wedding at Thiel’s 50th birthday party and that came as a huge surprise to the attending guests.

Spoiler: Career

Danzeisen has worked with the American global investment management corporation, ‘BlackRock, Inc.,’ as a portfolio manager.

He also worked as an investment banker at Bank of America Securities.

Presently, he serves Thiel capital as a portfolio manager.

The company specializes in investment management services.

Located in San Francisco, California, US, the company invests in established as well as new business ventures.

It provides strategic and operational support for different investment initiatives and business entrepreneurial ventures undertaken by Thiel.

Although the exact position that Danzeisen holds in the company is not known for sure, but some sources say that he oversees the private investments of the firm with a special eye on the financial services company.

He is also into active investing in the FinTech space as a board member, lender, and as an equity investor.

Spoiler: Rise to Fame

Danzeisen rose to fame after the news of his marriage to Peter Thiel spread like fire.

He garnered much media as well as public attention from across the globe after the world famous entrepreneur got hitched with him.

Both Thiel and Danzeisen kept a low profile regarding their romantic association till the time rumours about their dating started making rounds.

There is not much information available on how the two met each other and how the relationship between them started as none of them have spoken about it publicly.

Although Thiel has not divulged much on the marriage or commented publicly about it, according to news and information website Axiox, he married Danzeisen in mid-October 2017 in Vienna, Austria.

Danzeisen came into the spotlight once his high-profile marriage with Thiel became public.

All the guests at Thiel’s 50th birthday celebrations were reportedly taken by surprise when the couple revealed about their wedding.

This surprise marriage garnered huge media attention in no time.

Even though Thiel is openly a gay, he prefers to keep his personal life private.

Thiel’s equation with Donald Trump, whom he supported during the latter’s 2016 presidential campaign, is well known.

According to Buzzfeed, Danzeisen was a “much more moderate” supporter of Trump, the 45th and current President of the United States.

However, after Trump assumed office as the President of the United States, Thiel has maintained a quiet and low profile.

Speculations also did the rounds regarding Thiel’s relationship with Trump who did not attend his big day.

Spoiler: Behind the Curtains

It seems that Danzeisen is a private person and does not like to disclose much about his personal life as there is hardly any information on his family background, early life and education.

While the net worth of Danzeisen remains unknown.

dunno if this is what u meant but here goes

Spoiler

the titan was the device used to slingshot the USS Mirfak thru the escapulating suctioning of the earth when the dome was pressing and releasing during its final birthing pains Of the death of earth.
I may not have used the title titan but it was the exact same.
using corrodinated points the uss mirfak as main reactor excellerated the expulsion of the huge megolithic craft thru the tare between the horizon and sky line as the earth collapsed within itself.
The Titan operates very similarly, now I dunno of the military titan can do such things but if u look at the triangulation of earth's recent earthquakes it's also evident that such technology does in fact exist.
What has always baffled me is how humans hear of a particular tech and think nah they don't really & then when sum thing geological happens they completely forget abt the tech that is said to potentially create such enormous monstrosities of destruction.
Ancient warlords knew that no matter how much technology they acquired nothing was more powerful than natural weather phenomenon and after many thousands of years they were able to incorporate the two as a half assed attempt at reverse engineering divine laws of the cosmos.
And as I wrote in the assignment, these devices places strategically along the ley lines would definitely cause the earth to eviscerate itself from existence.
And knowing tesla damned near brought down, either Philadelphia or Chicago with a reverse engineered prototype, what do they have now and why won't anyone put two and two together outside of a synopsis of such tech and use.
And why hasn't mankind found the courage to challenge the future again?
It's like we want to know such things exist but not that they actually work.
viscous circle jerk, imo.
