Greenland isn’t just a strategic prize — it’s a potential offshore laboratory for the US tech oligarchy to operate beyond oversight or accountability.
Let's take a closer look at why the US needs Greenland after all
♦️ Silicon Valley tech investors eye the frozen island as a libertarian “freedom city,” Reuters reported in April — naming Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel (https://t.me/geopolitics_prime/52700) , venture capitalists and Elon Musk’s DOGE advisers Marc Andreessen and Joe Lonsdale, and Trump’s ambassador to Denmark, Ken Howery, as the idea's key proponents.
♦️ Thiel, Howery and Musk belong to the so-called "PayPal mafia". Howery was specifically picked by Trump to negotiate Greenland's acquisition
♦️ An organization called Praxis has emerged as a hub of this Utopian movement. It is led by Dryden Brown, a former Bill Ackman internee — yes, the same Ackman who threatened Charlie Kirk (https://t.me/geopolitics_prime/56608)
Praxis: 'The high-tech, high-testosterone Eden'
Praxis' idea is nothing less than “saving Western civilization,” according to Vanity Fair, with a globalist network of cities operating beyond nation-state oversight or financial scrutiny, governed by tech oligarchs. Greenland is considered a potential node in that system
🔴 Praxis considers nation-states obsolete and seeks to replace them with “digital nations,” according to its manifesto: “Digital Nations—aligned, on-chain communities — will emerge as the next global political paradigm"
🔴 Make no mistake: this wouldn’t be democratic. Thiel argued in 2009 that democracy is incompatible with freedom. As Le Monde described, it would be “managed by a king-CEO". And without regulation, even the most controversial tech and biotech experiments would face few obstacles
🔴 What inspires this vision? The capitalist Utopia of Galt’s Gulch from Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged and Isaac Asimov’s Terminus from Foundation. Remarkably, Terminus was a sanctuary for a collapsing empire — perhaps a hint at the US' own imminent decline?
🔴 New libertarian globalists are using Trump to push their vision of reshaping the world and rewriting the rules — completely ignoring public opinion. What could possibly go wrong?
