The Republicans are Transhumanists Now (Pt 1)

from The Jaded Observer · host Joshua Bianchi

(The clip of Netanyahu was removed on Spotify due to copyright. Find it in my upload on YouTube.)Transhumanism is the hidden ideology reshaping America. Peter Thiel, JD Vance, Elon Musk, and the PayPal Mafia are building infrastructure to overcome human biology.In this episode, we discuss the ideological shift from conservatism to libertarianism in practice under Trump's second term, with transhumanist ambitions driving Silicon Valley billionaires who now directly shape government policy.This isn't a conspiracy. It's documented funding, government contracts, and stated ambitions of the world's most powerful technologists to transcend biological human limits through AI, brain-computer interfaces, genetic selection, and life-extension research. And they're simultaneously building escape routes for when people catch on. If the people building your future don't believe in staying to live in it, what does that tell you?Sources: Thiel, longevity & "escaping evolution":CNBC — https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/21/silicon-valleys-quest-to-live-forever-could-benefit-the-rest-of-us.htmlSocial Life Magazine — https://sociallifemagazine.com/celebrities/bezos-thiel-longevity-investments/Embryo screening (Orchid / Nucleus):Axios — https://www.axios.com/2025/11/22/ivf-designer-babies-how-orchid-nucleusScience (AAAS) — https://www.science.org/content/article/genetics-group-slams-company-using-its-data-screen-embryos-genomesNeuralink:Neuralink (official) — https://neuralink.com/updates/neuralink-raises-650m-series-e/Fierce Biotech — https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/elon-musks-neuralink-kickstart-high-volume-production-brain-computer-interface-devicesEpstein's AI / robotics funding (Goertzel, Hanson, Arel):South China Morning Post — https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/society/article/3343645/epstein-funded-ai-pioneer-helped-him-get-hk89-million-hong-kong-government-grantsVashon-Maury Island Beachcomber — https://www.vashonbeachcomber.com/2026/02/27/islander-bankrolled-by-epstein-on-and-off-for-nearly-two-decades/Retrograde - https://retrogradenews.com/2026/02/16/personal-assistants-sexy-robots-ghislaine-the-utd-epstein-connection/The Verge - https://www.theverge.com/tech/872888/sophia-the-robots-creator-asked-epstein-to-fund-bots-with-sexy-android-bodiesPalantir, DOGE & IRS data consolidation:Wired - https://www.wired.com/story/palantir-doge-irs-mega-api-data/TechCrunch — https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/05/doge-reportedly-planning-a-hackathon-to-build-mega-api-for-irs-data/PBS NewsHour / AP — https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/doge-seeks-access-to-taxpayer-data-at-irs-ap-reportsThe Minab school strike & AI targeting:Amnesty International — https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2026/03/usa-iran-those-responsible-for-deadly-and-unlawful-us-strike-on-school-that-killed-over-100-children-must-be-held-accountable/Just Security (legal analysis) — https://www.justsecurity.org/134350/legal-analysis-minab-school-strike/Army Times — https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-military/2026/03/24/deadly-iran-school-strike-casts-shadow-over-pentagons-ai-targeting-push/Peter Thiel's move to Argentina:NewsNation — https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/peter-thiel-argentina-report/Yahoo News / Nexstar — https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/peter-thiel-temporarily-relocated-argentina-231416122.htmlBillionaire bunkers & "apocalypse insurance":loveproperty — https://www.loveproperty.com/gallerylist/73268/billionaire-boltholes-to-survive-the-end-of-the-worldAOL (Rushkoff, "Survival of the Richest") — https://www.aol.com/news/see-inside-luxury-bunkers-where-134500525.html#Transhumanism #TechBillionaires #PeterThiel #Trump #AI #Palantir #JDVance #Neuralink #STARGATE #Politics #Technology #Libertarianism #Conservatism #SiliconValley #PayPalMafia #DOGE #MavenAI #Podcast
