Is JD Vance a Big Tech sleeper cell?


J D Vance is running for Ron Portman's Senate seat and he was just endorsed by Donald Trump.  Cleveland Tea Party does not usually post on gun issues, as most 2nd amendment issues fall outside Tea Party core values. But Ohio Gun Owners (OGO) has posted a lengthy and evidently carefully researched "deep dive" into JD Vance's background -- his associations, affiliations, and relationships.  Click here for the link to the full report.  Here's a sampling from the OGO website:

This is an Ohio Gun Owners RED ALERT.

We hope you will read this post in its entirety and share this with everyone you know before the May 3rd Republican Primary Election.

Everything you and I love about our country is being attacked and, in many cases, defeated.

From taking God out of schools and indoctrinating our kids, to big tech censoring and manipulating the population, to the Radical Left grooming our kids, to shutdowns and mandates, to the destruction of our economy, to the destruction of the family and to the sustained and constant attempts to destroy the right to own firearms, the Left’s culture war to end America is raging.

That means we must FIGHT LIKE HELL if you and I are going to be able to save it.

And the choices we make in the May 3rd Republican primary play a pivotal role in whether or not we are going to be able to win.

The Survey

OGO has issued our 2022 Ohio Gun Owners Candidate Questionnaire to every candidate running to replace Rob Portman in the US Senate.

We have asked each candidate a series of questions on the issues they will likely face if they get elected because their answers give an indication of how they will vote, especially if they have no record that we can objectively investigate.

Up to the moment of this writing, we have received 100% pro-gun surveys from Josh Mandel, Mike Gibbons, Mark Pukita and J.D. Vance.

The Survey’s Weakness

As a non-profit issue advocacy organization, Ohio Gun Owners does not endorse candidates.

We highlight differences between candidates, of course, and we viciously expose the records of anti-gun legislators or candidates whenever and wherever we are able so that gun owners can better decide who they want to represent them in office.

But as Ohio Gun Owners grows larger in size, scope and political power, there is one distinct weakness that we have identified in our survey program:

There is the definite potential for a candidate to deliberately fill out the survey without ever intending to keep their promise. And the reason why is simply because they are making the calculated decision to do whatever is necessary to get elected, knowing it is far harder for an incumbent to be unseated.

That’s why Ohio Gun Owners investigates candidates who are running with no voting record, because we want to see if their past reconciles with what they promise to be in the future.

It is not unfair to say that politicians in the past have said things that they don’t mean just to get elected.

That’s why we investigated J.D. Vance at a deeper level, even though he scored 100% pro-gun on his OGO candidate survey.

Vance: Deep Dive

Someone once said, “Show me who your friends are, and I’ll tell you who you are.”

J.D. Vance’s friends, who he has alliances with, who is funding his campaign and what we uncovered during our investigation is alarming on a scale unlike anything we’ve ever seen in electoral politics.

Quite frankly, the alliances Vance has formed, the business partners Vance has and even some of the businesses Vance has created or invested in are major red flags for anyone who loves America or who may be angry at the levels of freedom that are being stripped away by lawless politicians and their partners in Big Tech.

. . .

Peter Thiel

Get used to the name Peter Thiel – it is a recurring theme throughout this investigation.

Thiel’s proximity to and involvement with J.D. Vance was the initial reason we red-flagged and prioritized this investigation here at Ohio Gun Owners.

So who is Thiel, other than the guy Vance worked/works with in California? And why does he matter?

Well, for starters, Thiel is the #1 financier of JD Vance’s effort to claim one of Ohio’s two US Senate slots.

Peter Thiel is a billionaire Silicon Valley tech investor and executive, deeply in bed with Big Tech.

➜ Thiel co-founded PayPal (which is a full-blown enemy of gun owners).

➜ Thiel sits on the board of Facebook and was Facebook’s first outside investor.

➜ Thiel is the chairman of Palantir, a Department of Defense contractor that specializes in big data analytics. Palantir designed the software behind the enforcement of the unconstitutional Patriot Act, which was neither American nor patriotic.

➜ Thiel is a partner at the Founders Fund, a Silicon Valley venture capital investment firm that invests in technology and artificial intelligence and is composed of partners that founded, were employed by or invested early in companies like PayPal, Google and other Big Tech companies.

➜ Thiel is an investor in a company called Athena Security, which markets an artificial intelligence video surveillance system that scans people in populated areas for the presence of firearms, alerting government “authorities” in the process.

It goes without saying that Facebook has been an eager participant in the censorship of free speech for the last several years, censoring any voice that dares to counter the narratives spewed by the Biden administration or the Fake News Media.

And nearly every conservative in America has been banned or “Zucked” because Facebook’s Misinformation Police decide they don’t like your patriotism.

BlackRock Connections

Peter Thiel, who is a man, is “married” to another man named Matt Danzeisen.

Currently, Danzeisen is a portfolio manager at his “husband’s” company, Theil Capital Management.

But guess who Theil’s “husband” worked for before he came to Theil Capital?  

BlackRock, Inc.

Earlier today, this blog linked to Dr Joseph Mercola's article -- with BlackRock at the center of The Great Reset.  Not pretty.

GOP campaign financing: Part 4

GOP campaign financing: Part 4 ~ Marco Rubio

  
The money behind Marco Rubio’s campaign is easy to track, thanks to the extensive digging already done by Michelle Malkin. For those of us who find Rubio a fresh face, good in front of the cameras and microphones, but troubled by his campaign pledge to oppose amnesty, only to co-sponsor the infamous Gang of Eight legislation, Malkin’s title “Open borders money backs Marco Rubio” says it all. From the article:

Here’s what you need to know:

Facebook, Microsoft and Silicon Valley back Marco Rubio. Mark Zuckerberg is a social justice CEO who panders to Hispanics with his pro-amnesty, anti-deportation advocacy; Facebook is an H-1B visa dependent company working hard to obliterate hurdles to hiring an unlimited stream of cheap foreign tech workers. It’s no coincidence that Facebook’s lobbying outfit, FWD.us, was waging war on Sen. Cruz online this week in parallel with Sen. Rubio’s disingenuous onstage attack.

The D.C. front group, which Zuckerberg seeded in 2013 with nearly $40 million during the Gang of Eight fight, has consistently provided political protection for Rubio as he carried their legislative water.

FWD.us’s GOP subsidiary, “Americans for a Conservative Direction,” showered Rubio and pro-illegal alien amnesty Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., with millions of dollars in media ad buys. The group also funded a deceptive, $150,000 ad campaign for immigration sellout Rep. Renee Ellmers, R-N.C., which falsely claimed she opposed amnesty to help her fend off a primary challenge. In all, FWD.us spent an estimated $5 million on TV and radio spots in more than 100 GOP districts before the Senate passed the Gang of Eight bill in June 2013.


Paul Singer backs Marco Rubio. The hedge fund billionaire announced his support for Rubio in October. Amnesty is and always has been a top agenda item for Singer, who helped fund the National Immigration Forum along with fellow hedge fund billionaire George Soros. NIF propped up a faux “grass-roots” initiative of religious conservatives, dubbed the Evangelical Immigration Table, to lobby for the Gang of Eight.
