Regarding Peter Thiel has moved to Argentina

[littlemissmartypants]

Does anyone recall the approximately $40 billion that was discreetly transferred to Argentina several months ago?

Just saying.

1. Apparently it was a $20 billion currency swap done in October, and Argentina had paid

all of it back by early January. That's an awful lot going on in 2 short months. According to Scott Jennings the U.S. even made a profit.
With this government how would anyone know?

2. Something nefarious going on. Stay tuned. Perhaps a hostile takeover of a state proposed sanctuary for war criminals?

[OGBuzz]

4. That's what I'm thinking, Thiel is down there paving the way for the rest.

The entire thing is strange, first it was $40 billion, then it was $20 billion, then it got paid back in 2 months with interest. I wonder if anyone outside of Trump's inner circle has seen the receipts.

6. Theil might be the tip of the spear.

Buying the country would be a good investment for this criminal Epstein class.

5. Why would anyone believe a word that comes out of Scott Jennings' mouth?

Nobody on DU should ever be quoting ScottJennings other than to point out he is being an idiot or an asshole or both.

9. Trust me, I think Jennings is the biggest asshole in all of media. He was really trying hard to

defend the whole $20 billion on CNN a few weeks back which made me even more suspicious. U.S. hands $20 billion to Javier Milei and gets it all back with interest 2 months later? This may have been the largest heist in history, all in broad daylight.

3. He knows about the antichrist.

7. Argentina was where many German Nazis fled to after WWII. Just the place for Thiel. At least he knows where he belongs.

8. Ratlines in the 1940s

Will more MAGAts join him there?

10. I had not thought of that. What I was thinking about was how some

people in different places were cheering him being "out of the picture". I asked if they were aware of little things like international phone service and email.

[littlemissmartypants]

11. And electronic money transfers. 💰 ❤️

[niyad]

12. Yes!!!

[Figarosmom]

13. Yeah. I read somewhere about a self governing

Utopia they want to build somewhere down there for Rich people too.

I also remember George Bush buying some land down there with an aquifer under it. Seems to me that was in Paraguay which is right above Argentina.

14. Also, there is no extradition treaty with Argentina. ...

So when the (D)'s take control of congress, and evidence appears against Thiel, we couldn't have him extradited.
I believe that's why he chose Argentina.

[liberalla]

15. I think you're mistaken... We do have an extradition agreement with Argentina... I just checked Congress.gov.

Not that he still can't fight it and make it difficult...

Hell! if need be, he can flee somewhere else by the time Dems are in control again.

18. The caveat being...

About Treaty Documents
The United States Constitution provides that the president “shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make treaties.” Treaties are binding agreements between nations and become part of international law. Treaty Documents are referred to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, where they may be considered and reported. The Senate can consider a treaty on the floor under similar procedures used for legislation. However, the Constitution requires that two-thirds of voting Senators agree for a treaty to be ratified.

The document I found doesn't say it was ratified.

It's confusing.

Others, please weigh in here. Is it ratified?

20. I found this info on ratification, on the State Dept archived website:

Argentina (12866) – Treaty on Extradition
TIAS

https://2017-2021.state.gov/12866/

So it looks like it the Treaty is now in effect.

21. Thank you!❤️

[liberalla]

22. So take that, Peter!!!

[littlemissmartypants]

23. Precisely!

16. I found evidence of an extradition treaty with Argentina online.

EXTRADITION TREATY WITH ARGENTINA

17. Yes, that was to keep another Trump buddy hedge fund investor from losing his bet in Argentina and to keep Milei's

government from collapsing. Was Thiel involved in that?

[littlemissmartypants]

19. They have a close relationship.

https://www.newsweek.com/peter-thiel-links-argentina-left-us-12008274

Thiel has met President Milei on multiple occasions, including a visit to the Casa Rosada Presidential Palace, where the pair discussed political and economic ideas aligned with their shared libertarian outlook, The New York Times reported.

Milei later described one meeting as “wonderful,” saying both men view “taxes as theft,” according to The Buenos Aires Times.

Rather than focusing on specific deals, Milei said the conversation centered on shared ideology and long-term political direction.

“He is an anarcho-capitalist, just as I am philosophically,” the president said, adding that Thiel asked how those ideas could endure beyond his administration.

[ChicagoTeamster]

24. But without taxes, the governments they prey upon wouldn't have the money for them to steal. Musk and Thiel

are the world's richest drug addicts. They put Trump, also an adderall addict (according to staff from Celebrity apprentice) ,adjudicated rapist, supposed child rapist and supposed child murderer (based on what's been reported of the Epstein files) and Vance (who is co-dependent because of his family history of drug abuse which he self reported in his book) in the white house.

Maybe we should really consider the damaging affects of allowing the existence of sociopathic rich predators. They used to be the monarchy. But the world eventually did away with that.
