it is :chefskiss: exquisite that Thiel, of all the lot of them, is a snitch to usgov[0]

As a CHS, Thiel was assigned a code name and an internal serial number to track his reporting. The information he passed on about foreign contacts and Silicon Valley intrigue was reviewed

gotta wonder how many of the progenitors of the absurd are currently squirming uncomfortably. I hope it's a lot of them

[0] - funny in the "would be a self-contradiction against prior statements" way, but as usual all that stuff is windowdressing and the real mission is his personal gain

orange site: great! I loved thiel but now that I can see him licking boots I love him even more!

It takes a real libertarian to be a government informer.

So Thiel also bought up most of the far right twitter ecosystem at 50k a pop.

Makes one think. He was using BTC for it and i assume that stuff is all trackable now.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

In the summer of 2021, Insider has learned, Thiel began providing information as a "confidential human source," or CHS, to Johnathan Buma, a Los Angeles-based FBI agent who specializes in investigating political corruption and foreign-influence campaigns.

Vance accused the bureau of "harassing faithful Christians" and pledged to block all of President Joe Biden's Department of Justice nominees in retaliation for the Trump prosecutions.

He retains a 10% stake in Palantir, a data company that has sold more than a billion dollars of software and related services to the federal government, including the Pentagon, the CIA, the National Security Agency, and the FBI.

Johnson told Insider that he believes that the relationship has been severed but declined to offer details; Buma wrote in his statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee that he was ordered to cease contact with all his sources in late 2022.

Buma came forward in August as a whistleblower, alleging that the FBI under Trump and Attorney General Bill Barr shut down his efforts to determine whether Rudy Giuliani had been compromised by a Russian asset.

In a statement prepared for the Senate Judiciary Committee, Buma said that FBI headquarters had closed his most valuable human sources, including one code-named "Genius," who had reported on far-right figures involved with planning the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
