#jamesorr — Public Fediverse posts

The story here is "the story of Dr James Orr, the lawyer turned theologian, sits at the centre of a clandestine transatlantic nexus of faith, finance, think tanks, seminars and seminaries, media companies and conference events — and an apparently catastrophic view of politics."

"The clearest indication of the intersection between the two millenarian hedge fund owners, Marshall and Thiel, is Orr’s friendship with the US Vice President JD Vance.

Vance was a protégé of Peter Thiel in an even more direct way than Orr was of Marshall."

Thiel-Marshall represent "a covert combination of faith and finance, of evangelical doom-mongering and disruptive tech and media, from the two real kingmakers in right-wing British and American politics — the deeply religious and deeply wealthy owners of GB News and Palantir: Sir Paul Marshall and Peter Thiel."

Peter Jukes and Nafeez Ahmed spotlight James Orr, Nigel Farage’s new head of policy, and how he's the key religious and ideological linkman for Palantir’s Peter Thiel and Sir Paul Marshall’s GB News. As Jukes and Ahmed show, these worthies are working with big-money funders in the US and elsewhere to effect an even harder rightward turn in the UK, with an evangelical gloss.
