Pirate Wires was founded by Mike Solana, a VP at Founders Fund—founded by Peter Thiel & Ken Howery (Trump’s ambassador to Denmark). Pirate Wires is an example of the Tech Bros’ “parallel media”. Here, they are trying to help Trump’s State Department w/ recruitment. 1/

IMHO, you can’t understand what’s happening to the US if u don’t know about the “network state” movement & its “parallel establishment” strategy, which includes building “parallel societies” (w/ their own physical territories) & “parallel institutions” in media, education, finance, science, etc. 1/

Jenny Cohn05/19/26

WTF? Don Jr is a partner of 1789 Capital (as is Peter Thiel ally Chris Buskirk), which backs Anduril, which received a government contract worth up to $20 billion earlier this year. 1/

Gwyneth Paltrow says her husband is a progressive and that he “wants to make sure everybody’s looked after.” Paltrow says she’s “pretty centrist” and adds that her husband “thinks I’m a Republican.” She says she’s not Republican, but an independent, and that she doesn’t “feel anything right now.”
