Whatever happened to all those 4channers going after the super secret cabal running the deepstate?
They probably haven't even realized they were Steve Bannon's useful idiots.

#52How is this secretive if venue is public?
What did Taylor Swift and many celebs do yesterday at Madison Square Garden (a public venue)? All the news says she got married, but does that mean you're trusting the news media? Public venue, private ("secret") event.
the highest net worth LAN party ever

Some have it coming, like the ones at Gawker. Doesn't excuse anything else Thiel has been connected to, of course, but I don't hold that particular lawsuit against him.
Thiel chose an easy target, and opened the door to destroying journalism. As un-American as it gets but hey, he’s the right color with legal bundles of cash; so much for our cherished, upper to middle-class institutions.
>so much for our cherished, upper to middle-class institutions.
The same institutions that said everyone needed to go to overpriced college and that shuttering a steel plant in Ohio just for the same steel to be made in even sketchier conditions overseas was an improvement.
They and their peddlers screech about evil billionares and every other aggravating factor because that's easier than looking in the mirror.
This shit ebbs and flows. The institutions did a lot of it to themselves. They'll crash and burn and in 100yr they'll be back again.

No, try the institutions telling you what’s happening in real time.
Only one party and one segment of society supported the Chicago school of economics.
The billionaires and aspiring billionaires are the ones that put us in this trap.
The term-unlimited and woefully out-of-touch Congress are the ones that looked the other way as they allowed the lobbyists to carve away more and more of our industry.
If you want to blame, blame the “fiscally conservative” party that foolishly loved and still loves the Chicago school.
To paraphrase your beloved dictator: “You have no cards and no leverage”.

#57Aren’t most events at hotels “secretive”? Our company all hands certainly isn’t a public event. It’s seems reasonable that defense companies may not always want their events to be public and in newspapers
In this case the hotel claims they weren’t told what it was.

In the US—and I dare say most of the world—these are understood as not mutually exclusive.
Only certain toxic personalities and cultures think otherwise.

The group used to be pretty secretive and unknown until a hacker managed to discover Dialog not protecting their membership data properly - and found, among others, a shit ton of billionaires [1] and politicians including former German health minister Jens Spahn [2].

Find the hacktivist and ensure that that the book of law is thrown good and hard at them in court. No different than if the opposition did the same to a left leaning/sympathizing group.
