BREAKING: Silicon Valley Billionaire Peter Thiel Outed As FBI Informant

Berlin, Germany, March 19, 2014. Hy! Summit - Image by Dan Taylor. www.heisenbergmedia.com

Peter Thiel.

Founding member of the “Paypal Mafia”…

Silicon Valley billionaire…

Big time Republican donor….

And — secret FBI informant?

Yes, according to new reports breaking right now.

The story appears to mostly come from Business Insider, and whenever a story is coming from only one source, we remain skeptical.

Other outlets have picked up on it, but they appear reliant on the Business Insider original reporting, which in turn seems reliant on one source.

But we’ll tell you what we know so far.

From Business Insider:

In the summer of 2021, Insider has learned, Thiel began providing information as a “confidential human source,” or CHS, to Johnathan Buma, a Los Angeles-based FBI agent who specializes in investigating political corruption and foreign-influence campaigns.

Charles Johnson, a longtime associate of Thiel’s and a notorious figure in the far-right movement that Thiel has subsidized for a decade, told Insider in a statement that he helped recruit the billionaire as an informant by introducing him to Buma.

A source with knowledge of Thiel’s relationship to the FBI, whose identity is known to Insider but who insisted on anonymity, corroborated Johnson’s account, telling Insider that Johnson brokered a relationship between Thiel and Buma. Insider was able to confirm through an additional source that the FBI added Thiel to its formal roster of registered informants.

Another source close to Thiel told Insider that while they could not confirm that Thiel was a CHS, Thiel did speak to Buma occasionally. The source said that any assistance Thiel might have provided to the FBI should be understood as part of Thiel’s gradual distancing of himself from Trump and the broader MAGA movement, which has vigorously criticized the FBI and other federal law-enforcement agencies.

Valuable information on a recurring basis The FBI maintains a vast network of informants to keep tabs on organized crime, terrorist threats, extremist groups, and other criminal and intelligence targets. These sources, according to the bureau’s Confidential Human Source Policy Guide, are more than casual tipsters.

Confidential human sources enter “into a relationship with the FBI, and that relationship will forever affect the life of that individual,” the guide says. “[They] will be either an ‘FBI source’ or a ‘former FBI source’ and, in turn, his or her conduct or misconduct will reflect upon the FBI.” As such, the process for recruiting and maintaining such sources is highly regulated, requiring multiple layers of approval. Only people who are able to provide “valuable information … on a recurring basis” are granted CHS status, according to the policy.

As a CHS, Thiel was assigned a code name and an internal serial number to track his reporting. The information he passed on about foreign contacts and Silicon Valley intrigue was reviewed and “validated,” or cross-checked against other sources, by his case agents and their colleagues.

Thiel did not respond to multiple requests for comment. A Thiel spokesperson stopped responding to inquiries after being told that Insider was reporting on Thiel’s relationship with the FBI.

The FBI’s national press office and Scott Horton, an attorney who represents Johnathan Buma, both declined to comment.

Some are skeptical:

InfoWars reported the following:

Multiple Insider sources confirmed Thiel’s role as a confidential human source (CHS) for Los Angeles FBI agent Johnathan Buma, who specializes in political corruption and foreign-influence investigations.

Political activist, journalist, and fellow CHS Charles Johnson told the outlet he helped recruit Thiel for Buma.

Johnson and Thiel worked with President Trump during his presidency and reported back to Buma, but Insider noted the information he provided largely focused on “foreign contacts and Silicon Valley intrigue,” not White House intel.

In fact, Johnson alleged Thiel “was directed by the FBI not to report on his interactions with Donald Trump or other U.S. political figures.”

According to Alex Jones during his Thursday program, mainstream media may be outing Thiel as an FBI informant in order to tarnish his reputation as the Bureau currently has a poor reputation.

Jones suggested this could be due to the venture capitalist supporting anti-globalist presidential candidate Donald Trump and opposing the leftist sect of the American Deep State.

The Infowars host also reported Thiel is working with the NSA in a similar fashion to how Tesla CEO Elon Musk is said to be involved with Space Force.

American agencies and military branches often use “private” proxies to distance themselves from certain activities, as witnessed with the CIA’s In-Q-Tel or the FBI’s Infragard.

Thiel also still has a 10% stake in the data company Palantir which has provided over one billion dollars worth of technology and services to the Pentagon, CIA, NSA, FBI and U.S. Army, so he’s been in these circles for some time.

Business Insider says it is still unclear whether or not Thiel is still acting as an FBI CHS.

We’ve reported on Peter Thiel many times before…

He is pro-cryptocurrency and anti-central banks.

Seemingly, he was always one of the good guys:

Peter Thiel: Central Banks Bankrupt

It turns out that printing money endlessly has consequences….

Inflation has hit a record 40 year high in our own country, but other nations have it far, far worse. Inflation in Lebanon, for example, has hit a whopping 219%.

The government poisons everything it touches, and money is no different.

History tells us that all paper money eventually goes to zero; similarly, the U.S. government is no stranger to this phenomenon, as our own institutions have resorted to printing numerous currency issues in the past…

The current U.S. Dollar is not the only currency we have ever used—not by a long shot.

Are cryptocurrencies the answer to this problem of central bank money printing? Peter Thiel seems to think so, and this was the tone of his address to the Miami Bitcoin 2022 conference.

Thiel explains that central banks around the world are bankrupt:

TrustNodes shared these figures:

Inflation in Lebanon has reached 219%. “The state is bankrupt, as is the central bank, so we have a problem,” Lebanon’s Deputy Prime Minister Saade Chami said.

In Turkey inflation has crossed 61% while in USA it has risen to 7.9% in February.

Argentina is in galloping inflation with Brazil too now seeing a rise just above 10%.

Independent.UK featured more of Thiel’s Bitcoin forecast:

Mr Thiel suggested bitcoin could go well beyond this by replacing the US dollar as the world reserve currency and offer greater returns on investment than any other stocks or assets.

“The real competitor for bitcoin isn’t Ethereum… it’s not even gold, it’s something like the S&P 500, it’s the stock market as a whole,” he said.

As always….don’t follow what the Central Banks SAY, follow what they DO!

And here’s what they’re doing:

Singapore Central Bank “Can’t Stop Buying Gold”

I always say, watch what the Big Boys are DOING….not what they’re SAYING.

And the biggest of the big are the “Central Banks”.

Notice I didn’t say good or honorable, I just said big.

So when the Central Banks all start doing something, I generally tend to think I am just going to tag along with them!

What you do is up to you, but here’s the latest breaking news out of Singapore — quote: “Singapore Central Bank can’t stop buying gold — boosts it’s gold reserves by 49% this year alone!

Singapore’s central bank (MAS) can’t stop buying gold.

MAS added another 1.6 tonnes of gold to Singapore’s national reserves during September, and now holds 229 tonnes of gold.

Singapore has bought a whopping 75 tonnes of gold so far this year, boosting its gold reserves by 49%.

ZeroHedge had a great write up on it, here is a small portion:

The CNA documentary team also obtained access to the secret gold vault of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), Singapore’s central bank, where more than half of Singapore’s official gold reserves appear to be stored. This is the first time ever that Singapore’s gold reserves have been filmed inside the MAS central bank gold vault.

Singapore’s central bank holds 225.4 tonnes of gold, making it the 24th largest sovereign gold holder in the world. Up until March 2021, MAS held 127.4 tonnes of gold, and had not bought gold for many years.

But then Singapore’s central bank went on a gold buying spree, buying 26.4 tonnes of gold bars between April and May 2021 (see here), and then adding another 73.6 tonnes of gold bars between January and July 2023. See here.

In total, that was 100 tonnes of gold added to Singapore’s gold reserves over just 2 years, which in percentage terms was a massive 77% increase compared to early 2021.

In fact, the rate of gold accumulation by Singapore’s central bank during early 2023 was so intense that MAS earned the distinction of being the world’s largest central gold buyer in Q1 2023, during which it bought 68.7 tonnes of gold.

While Singapore’s gold reserves have a market value of approximately SGD 18.8 billion, this represents less than 5% of MAS’s total reserve assets, which in total are worth about SGD 400 billion. The rest of the reserve assets of Singapore’s central bank, which consist of holdings of securities (bonds and stocks) and foreign currencies, are also, along with the 225.4 tonnes of gold, managed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

Got Gold?

Want to see inside those vaults?

Brand new video was just released, you can watch here:

Folks….there’s a reason I keep warning you about this!

Here’s more:

“Once the public wakes up and sees that Gold and Silver are SCARCE, that’s when the circuit breakers go in and price skyrockets”

I’ve been telling you for a long time now that Gold and Silver are vastly undervalued.

I’m not a financial advisor and I can’t tell you what to do, but I can look at historical data and I can easily see that the current price of Gold and Silver makes no sense unless….it’s being manipulated.

Now who would want to do that?

And the more important question: will it go on forever, or do the manipulators eventually release the stretched rubber band and ride an explosion up?

I’ve you’ve been paying attention in life, you know the answer.

You know these crooks on Wall Street manipulate things down, ⭐️ then they load their boats, then they manipulate them up into a bubble.

Where are we in that process right now for commodities like Gold and Silver?

Right exactly where I placed that star up above.

⭐️ = You Are Here

The Big Boys are loading their boats.

But that’s not just my opinion.

I’m a nobody.

Listen to Andy Schectman who is an expert on these things and he lays it out PERFECTLY in two minutes.

Here’s my rough paraphrase:

“A concerted effort by the very powerful to use the suppression of commodities (gold, silver, but also a long list of all other commodities)…these countries are not complaining about suppressed low prices yet because they’re accumulating!  But once it becomes obvious that the availability of these commodities is very scarce and no one wants to sell at these “make believe prices” then the public says “OMG, what have we been missing?”  And maybe that all happens in concert with a breakdown of the banking system, then the public says “give it to me now” and that’s when you’ll see the circuit breakers be put into affect.  But at that point it’s too late.”

Oh my!

It’s so much better to listen to him explain it in his own words.

It’s just 2 minutes long.

Watch here (as presented by my friend the Digital Asset Investor):

https://twitter.com/digitalassetbuy/status/1701366640074494437

But it’s not just Andy either.

It’s this latest interview over at SGT Report.

Sean does such a great job over there of interviewing people on topics the MSM doesn’t want you to see, and his latest is called “$1,000 Silver — Seriously, Stop Laughing”.

There’s actually a lot of history that goes into that quote and this was a great discussion by four very smart individuals.

Watch here:

I’ve been sounding the alarm for a while now…

Have you taken action?

As always, there’s one thing I always say and it’s never been proven wrong:  Watch what they DO, not what they SAY.

Who is “they”?

The same people Andy Schectman was talking about.

Big Governments.

Central Banks all over the world.

Big Business.

What are they doing?

They are LOADING THEIR BOATS with as much Gold and Silver as they can find and they’re laughing all the way to the bank because they’re buying at what Andy says are “make believe prices”.

Are you?

After the Great Financial Crash of 2008, I made a decision.

From that point forward, I would simply do what the Big Boys were doing.

I would simply watch what they’re doing and copy it.

Oh, and if they had Jim Cramer telling people the OPPOSITE (i.e. Cramer says Gold is a loser, but the Central Banks are buying with both fists) that was usually the perfect confirmation I needed.

So that’s been my strategy since 2008 and it’s worked very well for me.

Here’s more….

Here’s Why Banks Are Buying Up All of the Gold

I’ve got Jordan Peterson and Peter Schiff in a fascinating conversation about the Value of Gold.

And it’s not just some academic debate.

This could very soon be one of the most important things in your world when the U.S. Dollar crashes and gets its value cut in half….or worse.

These guys know what they’re talking about and this short 8 minute clip is definitely worth your time to watch.

I always say this: don’t listen to what the “Elites” tell you….watch what they are DOING.

And what are they doing?

Stacking gold and silver.

As much as they can get their hands on.

Look, I hope I’m wrong but I think we’re in for a massive event that is going to destroy bank accounts and destroy the U.S. Dollar.

So what happens to YOU when that happens?

Watch this and then scroll down for how I can help you stay safe right now….

Watch:

For those who can’t listen, here’s the transcript (and then scroll down for what YOU can do right now!  That’s the most important thing!):

One of the reasons that people are so arrogant particularly in America that the dollar status is not in jeopardy and so that we can keep on running these huge deficits we can create keep on creating inflation and the world’s got no choice right but to stick with the dollar because are they going to go to the euro are they going to go to the Yen you know the pound

I mean they’re winning B I agree all of those currencies also have problems and so do you really want to switch from one flawed fiat currency to another even if those other Fiat currencies may be less flawed than the dollar right

do you really want to make that shift I don’t think that that’s what’s going to happen what everybody is missing is that there is an alternative to the dollar that doesn’t involve another fiat currency and that’s gold

that is real money everybody forgets that for thousands of years gold was money it was money because it worked now over the course of time uh we had paper currencies that would rise and fall I mean hundreds of years ago they were paper currencies that are now worthless and you don’t even know their names

you know they come and go but gold has has stayed you know gold works as money and so I think what these central banks are going to do is as they get out of dollars they will just increase their Holdings of gold gold will be the monetary anchor gold will be the reserve monetary asset just the way it was before the dollar it wasn’t the British pound

I mean the British pound was a dominant currency but gold was what everybody owned the British back to pounds do you see any do you see any evidence that some of these alternate currencies are starting to back their currency claims with gold oh yeah you can what’s happening on the central banks are now buying more gold than they’ve bought in in in decades

especially a lot of the uh you know the Emerging Market countries not even maybe so much the United States isn’t buying any gold and maybe you know some of the more mature uh countries but a lot of other countries that had predominantly held dollars and then to a lower degree Euros or Yen or pounds these countries are increasingly buying gold that’s why gold is at a record high

I mean Gold’s around two thousand dollars an ounce but in terms of just about every other currency on the planet gold has been hitting all-time record highs uh and again that’s not really gold going up that’s all these Fiat currencies going down but what are the reasons that countries would want gold as opposed to the dollar is the US government doesn’t have any control over it

you know gold
