How Operation Paperclip Captured America
The Nazi diaspora and the world’s worst parents set the stage for a successful coup of the US government
Werner Thiel came to America at 11 years old from Essen, Germany at the end of WWI. For whatever reason, Werner left his loyalty in his homeland. 24 years later, in 1942, he was executed by the US Army for being a Nazi spy.
Werner left the U.S. in 1940 to be trained in Germany as a saboteur; in Summer of 1942 he came back by German submarine and was dumped off the coast of Florida. Luckily, he and his seven co-conspirators were caught before executing their plans.



I have no evidence that Werner Thiel was closely related to Peter, but Werner provides an example of exactly what Nazis always do. They lie, defraud, infiltrate and sabotage. Nazis don’t announce themselves as Nazis until it’s much too late to do anything about it.
Hitler’s Operation Pastorius was just one of numerous efforts to corrupt and weaponize German-Americans against their adopted country before and during WWII, which is why another operation, an American one, can be seen as one of the worst mistakes in American military and intelligence history.
Operation Paperclip was a secret United States intelligence program in which more than 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians were taken from former Nazi Germany to the US for government employment after the end of World War II in Europe, between 1945 and 1959; several were confirmed to be former members of the Nazi Party, including the SS or the SA.
Many of the Nazis brought over for Operation Paperclip were rocket scientists who went from building V2 rockets for Hitler, to fighting the Cold War for the US military, to building a Moon mission for NASA. The truth is their decision to come to America was just a cold-eyed calculation the Nazi rocket scientists were forced to make.
“We despise the French, we are mortally afraid of the Soviets, we do not believe the British can afford us. So that leaves the Americans.”
The big prize, as I’ve written, was Wernher von Braun, who gave Elon Musk his name, but there were two other notable rocket scientists who worked for von Braun, Walter and Adolf Thiel.


Walter Thiel was killed by the RAF in Operation Crossbow in 1943. Adolf Thiel, however, joined von Braun in Ft. Bliss, TX through Operation Paperclip. In 1955, Adolf left the US Army and went to be an early employee of the predecessor of TRW, Inc. and retired as Executive Vice President of TRW in 1981 — but was kept on by NASA as a consultant.
In 2001, Elon Musk became interested in the work of the top engineer at TRW, Tom Mueller — who was building on the work of Adolf Thiel — and poached Mueller to become the founding employee of SpaceX.
As with Werner and Walter Thiel, I have no direct genealogical information tying Adolf Thiel to Peter but the coincidences are far too… coincidental, to dismiss.
Peter Thiel, whose father sent him to a school that praised Hitler while building a concentration camp for Black people to mine uranium for apartheid SA, and Elon Musk, whose Afrikaner parents are both openly white supremacist and in favor of apartheid, have somehow ended up with both Adolf Thiel and Wernher von Braun’s technological legacy by accident? No.
The Nazi diaspora, both directly from Germany after WWII, and from the places Nazis went for refuge, particularly apartheid South Africa, is alive and well and now inside the US federal government puppeteering Donald Trump. It is no coincidence that 1) the primary route for Nazi infiltration into the US was rocket scientists, and 2) the obsession of the most dangerous Nazi since the original, Elon Musk, is rocket scientists.
I do not present this information as an academic or historic exercise. I believe it’s important to understand how the evil we are currently experiencing was created, because I think that will be the key to defeating it. Yesterday, while Trump golfed, and the market was screaming downward as the result of his suicidal tariffs, he posted a 2nd-grader’s way to summarize eugenics, which is the driving ideology of both his regime and the Nazis.
The basic proposal by Adolf Hitler was that he would make the trains run on time and make the country more racially pure by eliminating what he considered the “weak.”
As a contemporary example of this attitude, this group of Yemenis which Trump claims, without evidence, were Houthi rebels, were standing in the traditional circle that villagers use to celebrate holidays. This is a war crime, even if these were Houthis, being gloated about as if it were a video game, by the President.
There were hundreds of separate protests today, which is encouraging — a great start. This is a taste of the energy we need to defeat the threat.
However, we must understand that the evil we face will never be negotiated with, will never be appeased, and cannot be co-existed with. It is the evil we faced 85 years ago, but it’s not on the other side of the world this time. It’s here.
Long Live a Free America. Glory to Ukraine.

I feel personally responsible for Peter Thiel, because I was active in pro-diversity (and yeah, CRT for really and truly) work and he was active in the Federalist Society in law school. Some members were just conservative, but some were freakishly paranoid and angry. I now realize he was working his fascist magic on the whole school.
Though my hypothesis is based almost entirely on historical progression -- that is, on circumstantial evidence -- I have long argued there's a direct lineal progression linking the de facto immunity given the1933 Bankers' Plot perpe-traitors to all that follows.
Never forget these people and their descendants are the real owners of the U.S. -- that the politicians and bureaucrats who govern us, whether local, state or federal, are merely their puppets.
Thus came capitalism's 1938-ish capture of already lynch-mob racist Southron Christianity and the eventual U.S. nazification of the ecogenocidal hatefulness implicit in all Christianity; next the post-Stalingrad adoption of Original Nazi war criminals; then, in joyous partnership with these Nazis, the zero-tolerance purge of intellectuals, socialists and Marxians that began in late 1946 and culminated in McCarthyism ; the murder of Medgar Evers (12 June 1963), the murder of President Kennedy on 22 November 1963 and the decade of political murders that followed (Malcolm X; Viola Liuzzo, RFK; MLK; Fred Hampton; Mark Clark; the Kent State University and Jackson State College students; Karen Si;lkwood, and let us not forget the other [uncounted] victims of Cointelpro, MK-Ultra and Operation Chaos).
Meanwhile the Nazi-reinforced aristocracy weaponized "normal" political events including the 1964 Goldwater candidacy (in support of LBJ, my late father cross-referenced Goldwater's speeches to their sources in "Mein Kampf," but the Democrats refused to accept his help); the 1972 McGovern candidacy (only the late Jack Newfield saw its as the maliciously scripted beginning of the terminal divisiveness perpetuated by identity politics); the Carter candidacy (the Fifth Column invasion of neoliberalism); and Ronnie the Nazi (the open onset of irreversible neoliberal conquest).
In essence I believe our overlords' adoption of the Original Nazis' and encouragement of their morally imbecilic expertise -- a willful embrace of Absolute Evil that has no precedent in our species' history -- hybridized post-Confederate vengefulness and omnipresent Christian hatefulness into the overtly nazi conquest of the U.S., with Elon as emperor, Trump as Führer and Schumer as Fifth Column obersturmbanführer.
Quoth our breathtakingly courageous host Jim Stewartson: "...the coincidences are far too… coincidental, to dismiss. "
