Will Giesea's "nonpartisan think tank" examine these matters further in the interest of "solving real problems?" Does a man so proud of his memetic warfare attack on American democracy in 2016 suddenly have the best interests of our republic in mind?
Hmmmm.
No.

In trying to understand how the Washington Post overlooked Peter Thiel pal Jeff Giesea funding white nationalism (see below), I began to wonder if the reporters didn't do any digging on Giesea beyond reading his Wikipedia page.
In 2020, I proved that Peter Thiel pal Jeff Giesea helped fund the white nationalist movement in America. He gave thousands to Richard Spencer's org & worked closely w/ extremists.
The WaPo omits that info from this story, which uses Giesea as a source.

So I looked at his Wikipedia page. Well well. It has been scrubbed to remove references to his far-right extremism, many of which I first reported. Here's Giesea's current page and the lingo at the very top:

Here's the top lingo from an older page. Lower down, you'll find more details (all of them accurate) about Giesea's ties to the alt-right. That info was also removed.

It's indisputable that Giesea gave $$$ to Richard Spencer's org. Andrew "weev" Auernheimer, a neo-Nazi, described Giesea as a major alt-right funder. Yet the line below was removed from Giesea's page. The only subjective bit is "major," depending on one's definition.

But it gets weirder. Someone with a Prague IP address made an edit to Giesea's page about Auernheimer.
This editor removed the "false accusation that Mr. Auernheimer is neo-nazi, simply because he was never affiliated with any Nazi party."
I see.

This, by the bye, is Mr. Auernheimer.
Mr. Auernheimer is the webmaster for the world's largest neo-Nazi site.

Here's a bonus pic of Giesea having a gas with a man who claims he invented email and Jason Kessler, the white nationalist organizer of Charlottesville's deadly Unite the Right rally.

More bonus:
1) Giesea promoting Darren Beattie & term that echoes Nazi rhetoric to demonize journalists.
2) Giesea suggesting that violence against journos may be justified while referencing the far-right "Day of the Brick" campaign intended to incite violence against journos.

Thank you
@DempseyTwo
for bringing to my attention that Giesea also participated in a Claremont Institute war game before the 2021 election w/ insurrectionist John Eastman and "Red Caesar" advocate Charles Haywood, among others.

The end product of this authoritarian endeavor was an "instruction manual" for how Trump partisans & citizen "posses" of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers could, "quite literally, round up opposition activists, kill their leaders, and install Donald Trump for a second term in office."
