Sugar Daddy of Trump’s VP Pick Has Deep Ties to CIA

J.D. Vance’s top funder, Peter Thiel, co-founded the data-analytics company Palantir, which has the CIA as a client, and was an early investor in Facebook, the CIA’s “wet dream.”

J. D. Vance is an Ohio Senator whose best-selling memoir Hillbilly Elegy positioned him as a politician who could empathize with people living in poverty in the Rust Belt.

Hillbilly Elegy recounted Vance’s upbringing in a poor family that also served as a sort of sociological examination of white working-class Americans.

Less well known about Vance is his intricate ties to billionaire Peter Thiel, who has enabled Vance’s political career.

According to The San Francisco Standard, it was Thiel who, in 2017, hired Vance to work at his Silicon Valley Mithril Capital firm and later invested heavily in Vance’s firm, Narya Capital.

Thiel then donated more than $15 million to Vance’s 2022 Senate campaign and escorted Vance to Mar-a-Lago to patch over his former “Never Trump” stance.

Thiel also introduced Vance to David Sacks, the Chief Operating Officer of PayPal, who donated $1 million to Vance’s Super PAC and hosted a fundraiser for him.[1]

Thiel’s connection to the CIA is apparent in the fact that he was an early investor in Facebook, the “CIA’s wet dream,” since Facebook users voluntarily put information about themselves online.

Facebook’s first president, Sean Parker, was recruited by the CIA at sixteen after he had been busted by the FBI for hacking corporate and military databases.

In September 2004, thanks to Parker, Thiel formally acquired $500,000 worth of Facebook shares and was added to its board.

In 2003, Thiel co-founded Palantir, a data-analytics company whose software is said to represent the “ultimate tool of surveillance.”[2]

Named after the omniscient crystal balls in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, Palantir’s success was enabled by a $2 million investment from In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s venture capital firm.

According to a former intelligence official who was directly involved with In-Q-Tel’s investment, the Agency hoped that tapping the tech expertise of Silicon Valley would enable it to integrate widely disparate sources of data.

During the first five years of its existence, Palantir’s chief client was the CIA.

Journalist Mark Bowden credited Palantir with perfecting the data collection and analysis that Iran-Contra felon John Poindexter had initiated with Total Information Awareness (TIA), a Pentagon surveillance system he helped to develop in the aftermath of 9/11 that the ACLU warned would “kill privacy in America” because “every aspect of our lives would be catalogued.”[3]

Palantir worked for the Pentagon and CIA in Afghanistan and Iraq, where U.S. spies and Special Forces deployed its software to synthesize the blizzard of battlefield intelligence, and to avoid roadside bombs, track insurgents for assassination, and hunt down Osama bin Laden.

I'm one of the most censored comedians in America. I was the host and head writer of the TV show "Redacted Tonight" for 8 years until it was shut down by US sanctions. Then all of the past episodes were banned by YouTube around the world. Next my podcast "Moment of Clarity" was deleted by Spotify. My other channels are shadow-banned and suppressed -- All because I'm anti-war and anti-imperialist. You can support my work and get weekly exclusive content at LeeCamp dot net.
