What Peter Theil does not know!
It appears that our favorite alt-right tech-giant venture-capitalist, who is not George Soros, Peter Theil, after his profound victory attacking Gawker for something that actually happened, but since the people who actually happened it were filthy rich, Gawker should not have pointed out that Cliven Bundy is actually a member of the Church of Scientology ;fldjkp;+++ Sorry, I was DDoSed for a second there: No, Peter Theil, founding member of paypal, initial investor in Facebook, gay guy who was outed by Gawk before he funded the case against Gawker with some of his libertarian Galt-bucks. But there is one problem.
Apologies for the source. It is not the Washington Times Moonie Central. Nor is it Deadguy Just after Halloween still haunting us Brietbart (who is running Trumps campaign!). No, it is the website founded by the former Greek wife of a far right Republican: Wait: how many of these anti-immigrant types are married to immigrants? Donald? Comment?
OK, the meat.

Peter Thiel delivers a speech at the National Press Club in Washington on Monday.
Peter Thiel is a pretty big deal in Silicon Valley and among the world’s tech elites. He was a co-founder of PayPal, became an important early investor in Facebook, and remains a venture capitalist of great renown. He’s also a figure of some controversy: a nominal libertarian who backs authoritarian presidential nominee Donald Trump, a promoter of seasteading, and the possessor of some odd but compelling ideas on human longevity. He’s also the guy who bankrolled Terry Bollea (aka/dba Hulk Hogan) in his successful lawsuit against Gawker Media.
But that’s not important at the moment. What I’d like to know is whether Thiel knows who invented email.
Given our rule about headlines, and even lead ins to long commentaries, we can surmise the answer is "no". But really, the joy of the entire piece is that point by point taking down of someone who does not know what they are talking about, in this case, Peter Thiel. Full Article HERE! [huffingtonpost.com]
Remember, not news, nothing of substance, no need to comment, just another case of somebody saying things that are not in fact true, on the internets.
