     NOTA BENE: this article does not make the Silicon Valley connection but am including it because, yes, y'all need to make the #techbro connection. theirs is an incredibly distorted view of what constitutes authentic history.

     Peter Thiel's lackeys were behind the federal "Real ID" ruse that has gone nowhere in adoption among Americans.

     so instead of trying harder to get a "show your papers" system in place so fascists like him can create systems upon systems of digital slavery (because big data as surveillance is one manifestation of that), Thiel bought himself a POTUS
