Is the Barr Family Blocking The Epstein Investigation Because It Would Expose What's Being Built Right Now? [View all]

Three threads, fifty years, a 1973 Sci-Fi novel and the architecture of a sovereign class that answers to no one.

I want to start with what is happening today, because I think if you understand today first, everything I am about to show you from fifty years ago will make so much more sense than it would if I started at the beginning with things that don't apply to our lives now.

Today, Peter Thiel, the man who co-founded PayPal, made the first outside investment in Facebook, co-founded the data surveillance company that processes intelligence for the CIA and the Pentagon, and whose money put the current Vice President of the United States in office, has a protege network running through the executive branch of the American government.

JD Vance, who worked at Thiel's Mithril Capital and received $15 million in campaign backing from Thiel, is Vice President. David Sacks, Thiel's Stanford Review co-founder and PayPal colleague, is AI and Crypto Czar. Michael Kratsios, former chief of staff at Thiel Capital, is Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Jacob Helberg, a Palantir adviser, was nominated as Under Secretary of State. Clark Minor, who worked at Palantir for 13 years, became Chief Information Officer at HHS. Jim O'Neill, former CEO of the Thiel Foundation, was confirmed as Deputy Secretary of HHS and then installed as acting CDC director.

Since Trump took office in January 2025, Palantir received $113 million in new contracts from DHS and the Pentagon. Palantir, the company Thiel built with venture funding from the CIA's investment arm In-Q-Tel, which processes data for intelligence agencies and law enforcement across the federal government, is now what Bloomberg has called the operating system for significant portions of American government.

And DOGE, which by mid-2025 had dissolved itself eight months before its scheduled end date, with OPM Director Scott Kupor confirming to Reuters that it was "no longer a centralized entity," did something before it disappeared. Its personnel stayed, seemingly seeded permanently throughout the agencies they had accessed.

HHS Chief Technology Officer - helped dismantle USAID
US Treasury Suspicious Activity Reports now handled by DOGE folks
Company that handles 911 calls for 23 states in the US is owned by "Carbyne" - who's Chairman is Ehud Barack

So here is what I need you to keep in the back of your mind as we move through all of this. A network of specific people with documented connections to each other is building communications infrastructure above national regulatory reach, financial infrastructure outside state control, data infrastructure that processes emergency calls for half the American population, and physical territory off-planet where, as the man funding the rockets has said explicitly, existing Earth law will apply only insofar as the people living there decide it applies.

While doing this, they are running the executive branch of the United States government and dismantling the oversight mechanisms that would be used to trace how this is being financed.

Now I want to show you where this comes from, because the infrastructure is being built right now but the idea itself is at least fifty years old, and the man who wrote it down in 1973 is the man who hired Jeffrey Epstein. This is where our story about the Barr family begins.
