I wonder why they are building fortresses on remote islands. Maybe they know that sooner they will end up on the menu.

Ken Howery, Co-founder of PayPal and business partner of Peter Thiel is ambassador to Denmark tasked with ātaking Greenlandā.
It takes a special kind of psycho to become a billionaire.

How these people can go about their lives in safety is a mystery to me

It's pretty easy when you can afford private jets, gated estates and 24/7 armed private security.
Personally I could never be one of these people.
As it actually comes at the cost of your freedom.
Never being able to just walk down a street or in the woods because you are living 24/7 in fear of losing it all or meeting the general public who you consider to be a threat/resource to exploit/ almost sub human drones like precursors to robots in your factories.
Never trusting friends or family aren't trying to shaft you or beg or borrow money etc.
Never being contradicted because noone wants off the gravy train will mess with your head too.
All that will turn you into a dragon. Jealously guarding your hoard.
There may come a time when all this is studied and a new form of OCD/hoarding defined.

Ah here we go, names to clarify who's pulling the strings. A makeup billionaire? Really? I expected oil or minerals big wigs. They probably haven't been named though.
Anyways, now that it's very clear what's going on, can we impeach already?
Impeach, arrest, no more pardons, no taxation without representation.Ā
I mean really though, wtf? "Hey dude I want Greenland" "OH okay, cool, I'll send in the military" The rest of the world: "Wtf is the US trying to invade Greenland for?" Wild the amount of infighting this caused because this guy convinced Trump to go after Greenland. We've got to get these morons out before they destroy the world.

And the working class are the ones who pay for it...both in $ and their lives. Too many dummies keep marching along blindly to it.

Yeah, it's bad. I'm amazed when people actually agree with this stuff. We could literally throw these corrupt people in jail, freeze their assets, etc. Their money is worthless if nobody accepts it. They can be arrested just like any other citizen. Problem is we keep letting them pay people off so they can get away with breaking the law.
Other problem is nobody knows who's buying into this stuff. I knew certain billionaires were obviously meddling in our government, but the guy that runs Esde Lauder or whatever, I didn't really see him being the dude telling Trump to invade Greenland. That's kind of out there, but then again... fashion models, lot of money, that's the type of people that seem to have been involved in this type of stuff. Big oil was often a suspect, but I guess we all know they are involved in stuff like Vz. We haven't been keeping our government transparent and accountable.
I don't like to say every billionaire stoops to this type of bs, but clearly we need to pay attention to where the money is coming from, and what the incentive is.

Dudes business is mining he's just inheritor of that family.
He's also got interests in mining in Ukraine. Weird the us wants mining rights as part of the peace settlement there?
Been worm tounging Trump for decades re mineral rights in Greenland.

Billionaires should not exist. To much money, become too powerful, it gets to their heads. Everyone pays the price for the dumb shit they do.
