Far-right billionaire Peter Thiel revealed as FBI informant: report

German-American far-right billionaire investor Peter Thiel was just revealed as an FBI informant as recently as 2021, according to a new report from Insider.

Insider reported that alt-right activist Charles Johnson, also an FBI informant, initially introduced Thiel to Los Angeles-based FBI agent Johnathan Buma, who investigates political corruption and foreign influence campaigns. Following Johnson's introduction, the FBI allegedly added Thiel to its official database of "confidential human source" (CHS) informants, according to Insider.

In order to be added to this database, multiple layers of approval are typically required, and only those able to provide "valuable information ... on a recurring basis" are given CHS status. Once admitted to the CHS database, informants are then given a code name and a serial number to categorize reports.

The source added that Thiel's status as an FBI informant is meant to be a way for the billionaire to distance himself from the MAGA movement, which has repeatedly assailed both the FBI and the US Department of Justice in response to investigations focused on former President Donald Trump. Johnson told Insider that he believes Thiel is primarily informing on foreign governments' attempts to cement themselves within Silicon Valley. Johnson added that Thiel was explicitly told to not inform on former President Donald Trump or other US political figures.

Just because somebody talks to the FIB......ever heard of Palantir? They have a lot of government contracts. Thiel owns it. Obviously he doesn’t want the government PO’d at him and cancelling his companies’ contracts. That doesn’t mean he’s in bed with them.

The Stasi had 1/3 of East Germans working as informants Are we at that level yet?

Soon sexual weirdo indoctrination centers (public schools) will be teaching children how to turn in their parents... Yeah, we're going full commie totalitarian.

[delchiante]

FBI has a lot of Steele Dossier in them..

“Thiel was explicitly told to not inform on former President Donald Trump or other US political figures.”

I think they call that a “Chinese wall”.

lol.

Yes. A lot of us these days seem to care more about promoting an agenda than about facts and truth - in other words, becoming very like the Left they despise.

As controversy rises around deportations underway across the U.S., a new report says Palantir, the secretive Palo Alto security firm co-founded by Peter Thiel, has built “the engine for Donald Trump’s deportation machine.”

Trump has brought in new policies directing authorities to ramp up arrests and deportation of people in the U.S. illegally....

No...any time a reporter uses the term “far right” it is a red flag that the journalist is nothing but a far left activist flack whose words cannot be taken at face value.

[piasa]

Oooh, “German-American” is supposed to sound scary, otherwise why do people use it when they don’t use Scots-American to describe Trump, etc.?

[Jamestown1630]

Somewhat related to this thread, I can think of one billionaire who tried to do something about the influence of the Confucius Institute in American education. But his potato-brained successor overturned it.

I’ll concede a few were named who I wouldn’t characterize as scum. That said, most are leftists/globalists acting against our best interests.

"
Oooh, 'German-American'
"
I have a German last name. My paternal grandfather grew up in a German speaking family in Baltimore. He went to Harvard and married a direct descendant of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins. He had a PhD from Harvard and was invited to give a talk in a Prussian university before WWI. When he returned, put off by the arrogance of the Germans, he proclaimed that only English would be spoken in his house. An exception was made for his friend, the inventor Emile Berliner (They were both involved in the pasteurization of milk). He and his wife died of TB, as did my father.

Aren’t you currently why the FBI leaked this to the MSM? I am.

Who is controlling whom?

[neverevergiveup]

You never see the term “far left” in the lame stream media . Why is that?

Because in their world Marx was a moderate.
