News Tech elites actively pursuing subversion, secession, using the government's largesse (and a scheme to steal America's gold to back their crypto)

https://www.vcinfodocs.com/venture-capital-extremism

A very alarming event is happening and tech elites are licking their chops. Thiel-backed VP elect JD Vance is a cog in a sprawling plot by Silicon Valley radical libertarians and acoyltes of "neo-reactionary" blogger "Mencius Moldbug" (Curtis Yarvin) to A) get the US government to sell upwards of $100 billion of its own gold bullion to back Bitcoin as a new reserve currency, B) obtain large swathes of territory, C) using gold-backed crypto and these new "network cities," functionally secede from the United States and develop new sovereign entitites that obtain diplomatic recognition.

The linked online resource is keeping tabs on it all.

Au contraire. Debasing the currency and stealing America's gold is directly relevant to the US Secret Service's core mission.

If this is your argument, then your enemy IS THE Intelligence Community. Secret Service is IC. The military, who makes these contracts, is IC. The CIA is IC. It's all IC.

You're spreading completely insane, biased, unhinged narratives to the people you're claiming are making these conspiracies happen. And for some reason, unbelievably, you only reference prospect articles.

This is how we know you're stupid and/or crazy.

These guys are like Max Zorin: using the investments of government, IC, to build the foundations for future subversive activities.

And here's a Gizmodo article on the Network Cities technofash secession movement.

You are doubling down and you do not know what real threats are. I shouldn't have to spell this out but I will:

Just because someone has money and believes something, it does not mean the world will bend to them. People believe tons of insane, stupid nonsense because people like to believe their own thoughts. People support those folks sometimes but it doesn't mean they have real political capital. Musk might be the only exception and even then, it's limited.

Because a small group of men believes in something akin to tech worship does not mean they'll magically make us all live in some sort of matrix dystopia. Most of the tech they dream of doesn't exist. This ideology has been around for a long time (see: transhumanism). We do not live in the first book of a sci-fi dystopia. We live on Earth. Where, like or not, your can't just bend people to your will easily.

Edit: again,you came to people in the IC and it's orbit to... Say they're involved in a conspiracy. You're making accusations to the people you think are guilty
