The Boy From Swakopmund March 22, 2026 Jim Stewartson on Palantir: The Pentagon is integrating Peter Thiel’s surveillance software throughout the military. Be very afraid. . . . Thiel’s Naziphilia has been clear for a very long time. And there is a reason for that. Thiel was raised in the most Nazi town on Earth in the 1970s: Swakopmund, in apartheid-controlled SW Africa (now Namibia). Thiel’s apartheid Christian school—and the town itself—used “Heil Hitler!” as a normal greeting, just as they did in Nazi Germany. Thiel’s father Klaus moved his family to Swakopmund when Peter was a baby to develop a secret uranium mine outside of town—which fed apartheid South Africa’s illegal nuclear weapons program. . . . Imagine what it was like to be a young gay boy growing up in a Nazi-soaked apartheid town in southern Africa, and being brought back to the U.S. at ten years old. Peter Thiel has reportedly described the early part of his childhood as being formative in his thinking—about who should have power and who should not. This supremacist belief that the world should bend itself to your will because of your genetics alone was a feature of apartheid-era education—just as it was in Nazi Germany. This background is why both Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are among the most racist people to ever gain fame or power. The apartheid system was designed to produce people like Musk and Thiel—people who believe they are entitled to make the world safe for those who are privileged and white, and to enslave or kill everyone else. . . . By 2015, Thiel was heavily involved with Jeffrey Epstein, the Russians, and a who’s who of neo-Nazi propagandists, hackers, and fellow fascist billionaires in a plan to make sure Hillary Clinton did not become president. The Epstein files make it clear: Epstein, Thiel, and the Russian government conspired to smear Hillary with Epstein’s child rape crimes. I hope this is overdone — I only fact-checked the Swakopmund part — but it’s worth your consideration. Not all Trumpers are racist! (Though most racists are Trumpers.) Still . . . some who expected prices to come down and Russia’s brutalization of Ukraine to end “on day one” are getting restless. Some are even Leaving MAGA. They may like having lightly trained, heavily armed masked agents ripping families apart without due process. But seeing billionaire wealth rise by more than trillion dollars while they struggle to make their own ends meet? And some of them would like to see the Epstein files released in full without unnecessary redaction. And wonder why he “wishes Ghislaine Maxwell well” and sells pardons and . . . well, it’s a long list, when they start to look closely. Joyce Vance: Decency Died Along With Bob Mueller: When the Mueller report was finished during Trump’s first term in office, Trump‘s Attorney General, Bill Barr, claimed it was a total exoneration. That, of course, was not the case. Once the entire, albeit redacted, report became available, it was clear that it was a stunning indictment of a sitting president—but one that respected constraints on prosecutors that prevented an actual indictment of a sitting president. It should’ve been a roadmap for Congress to impeach and convict, but they did not take up Muller’s invitation. Trump shared his comments on the passing of an American hero this morning: “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead.” Join Indivisible. Buy your sign. Support the opposition.
