Most Americans have never heard of Thiel and wouldn\u2019t be able to tell you one fact about him. They\u2019re sidetracked and distracted by Thiel\u2019s good friend and fellow technocrat, Elon Musk. But don\u2019t be fooled.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump\u2019s push to recalibrate the U.S.-China trade relationship has the full endorsement of the Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel.<\/p>\n<p>Thiel, one of the infamous \u201cPayPal mafia,\u201d and a major financier of the Trump-Vance ticket, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/joshdcaplan\/status\/1910794060349988991\">recently told <\/a><em><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/joshdcaplan\/status\/1910794060349988991\">American Optimist<\/a><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/joshdcaplan\/status\/1910794060349988991\"> host Joe Lonsdale<\/a><\/strong> that \u201csomething like the sort of reset that they\u2019re talking about now seems where we\u2019re going, <strong>where you need a very drastic reset with China<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thiel went on to say he believes some industrial capacity should be moved from China back to the U.S., where it will be handled mostly by AI and robots, and the rest should be moved from one communist country, China, to another communist country, Vietnam.<\/p>\n<p>Thiel is an agent of the global deep state and the Western military-industrial complex. He not only co-founded PayPal, which was intended to replace paper money with digital and conditioned Americans to accept digital transactions, he also was one of the earliest investors in Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook was largely a CIA invention that surveils, categorizes and stores Americans\u2019 thoughts and opinions on basically everything. Thiel is the founder of another sinister enterprise called Palantir, whose biggest client at one point was the CIA and also now sells an AI-based \u201cwarfighting program\u201d to the U.S. and NATO. You get the feeling from his comments in the above-cited interview that Thiel may want to test out his new AI warfighting program against the Chinese.<\/p>\n<p>It was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/stocktwits.com\/news-articles\/markets\/equity\/palantir-stock-rallies-after-nato-deal\/chfCeliRba4\">announced today<\/a><\/strong> (Monday April 14) that Palantir\u2019s AI-enabled Maven Smart System NATO (MSS NATO) will be employed within NATO\u2019s Allied Command Operations (ACO), triggering a significant advancement in the modernization of its warfighting capabilities.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/stocktwits.com\/news-articles\/markets\/equity\/palantir-stock-rallies-after-nato-deal\/chfCeliRba4\">Stockwits.com<\/a><\/strong> writes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Shares of Palantir Technologies Inc.
