There’s a reason JD Vance converted to Catholicism right before entering politics and it had nothing to do with God. This is the same man who once wrote an article calling Trump “America’s Hitler,” and in a 2016 interview, said he’d rather vote for his dog than for Trump.

Now he’s Vice President of the United States, and he is just one blood clot away from taking control. While the legacy media and influencers fixate on Trump’s swollen ankles, slurred words, bruised hands, and mental decline they’re missing the real threat. Something worse is coming, and it’s wearing a crucifix.

“Trump is cultural heroin. He makes some feel better for a bit. But he cannot fix what ails them, and one day they’ll realize it.” — J.D. Vance.

They love to tell on themselves: When Vance converted to Catholicism, he chose St. Augustine of Hippo as his confirmation saint (basically a “spirit animal” in Catholic terms) but Augustine wasn’t a saint of mercy. He preached that humanity is broken, corrupt, and too sinful to choose good on its own and that people need rulers to control them.

In 2019, J.D. Vance knelt at the altar and crossed a threshold — not just into Catholicism — but into a political machine disguised as faith taking over the United States in real time.

Vance’s baptism opened doors (not to God) to circles like Opus Dei, the Federalist Society, and the Heritage Foundation. Yes, the same Heritage Foundation behind Project 2025. The “foundation” whose operatives, like Russell Vought (et al), already saturate the Trump’s cabinet.

Now, these groups — like Heritage — don’t merely advise politicians, but turn them into weapons. For Vance, that baptism wasn’t about finding God. It was about finding sponsors. A man who’d been yearning for power and adequacy for years felt beyond lucky when they approached him before 2019. This has been a plan years in the making and we’re focused on bruised hands.

Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation and one of the main authors of Project 2025, doesn’t even try to hide who’s advising him. He’s said it himself, openly, and it’s still available on YouTube.

In the hour long video, Roberts goes on about how he receives weekly “guidance” on how this country should be run from priests at the Catholic Information Center (CIC). This place is located at 1501 K St NW, Washington, DC 20005. Talk about proximity to power. It’s inside of a place called “The Investment Building.”

Read that again: the Christian nationalist network that’s infiltrated our government, and is whispering in the President’s ear about how to rewrite the entire federal structure takes its marching orders from a church you can literally see from the White House lawn. Every week.

He straight up admits his endgame is forcing policies most Americans don’t want. This includes but isn’t limited to: banning birth control, abortion, and same-sex marriage.

And because he knows the people would never vote for it outright, Roberts hides behind what he calls “radical incrementalism,” his so-called “enchilada theory,” where they notch small wins now and slowly build toward the big, ugly ones later.

Sound familiar? How many times have we heard they’re “just testing the waters”?

They’re not testing anything. They’re creeping in, inch by inch, while the rest of us stay distracted swatting at Trump’s ankles.

The deeper I go, the more it reads like some overdone secret society thriller — only this isn’t a movie, it’s real life, playing out in front of us right now.

Now, knowing all of this, I’m sure you’re wondering, what is their goal?

Simply put, they want to develop politicians who will carry out their worldview without hesitation and protect their fortunes in the process. They mold them into weapons to defend the rich and strip regular people of protections. Something we’re watching happen at an alarmingly rapid rate this year, and Trump isn’t even gone yet.

Peter Thiel didn’t just help J.D. Vance. He manufactured him. He molded him like a weapon. Then he handed him to Donald Trump with a smile. Trump thought he was picking a loyal sidekick, but what he actually picked was his replacement. Vance wasn’t chosen to support the throne. He was chosen to inherit it.

Thiel plays the long game. He doesn’t scream for attention. He doesn’t need to. He funds, he grooms, and he installs. He knew Vance had the perfect résumé for a populist rebrand. A working-class sob story. A Yale Law degree. Military service. Just enough Bible verses to pass for authentic in the Rust Belt. He spent millions to make Vance.

Remember, when Vance converted to Catholicism in 2019, it wasn’t just some personal faith journey. It was a calculated entrance into a political-religious network that believes the masses should be ruled, not represented.

His choice of St. Augustine of Hippo was no coincidence either. Augustine preached that human beings are corrupt by nature. That we cannot choose good without being forced. That we need rulers. That free will is dangerous.

These aren’t even abstract ideas anymore. They are the very foundation of how Vance sees the world and how he plans to govern it. And that worldview perfectly complements Peter Thiel’s own.

Thiel doesn’t even try to hide what he believes. He has openly stated that “freedom and democracy are no longer compatible.”

To him, democracy empowers the wrong people. Poor people. Sick people. People who need things. Thiel believes those people should not get a vote. He wants society run by “the best” and “the brightest,” which in his mind means billionaires, technocrats, and a few well-trained disciples.

That’s why he built Palantir. That’s why he funds surveillance, border militarization, and predictive policing. That’s why he invests in life-extension science while everyone else fights to survive.

Thiel does not want to fix democracy. He wants to replace it with an executive class that rules quietly, permanently, and without consent. That’s where Vance fits in. We have a man with a religious justification for obedience and a billionaire-backed machine to push it into law.

Between Augustine’s view of humanity and Thiel’s view of government, there is no room for democracy. There is only hierarchy. Order. Rule by the elite.

And now they’ve found the perfect host: a vice president sitting behind a Trumps failing health, just waiting for the call.

Their bankroll comes from the “old money” families with ties to Nazi Germany, now fused with Silicon Valley technocrats like Peter Thiel. Thiel, who, ironically, has his own ties back to Nazi Germany and apartheid Africa.

Their endless amounts of money gets washed through figures like Leonard Leo, his dark-money network, and sketchy 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) outfits posing as “donor-advised funds” such as DonorsTrust. They donate to these organizations, and then the organization washes it for them.

On paper the “gift” to Heritage (and others) comes from DonorsTrust, and not the person who actually shelled out the month. These organizations then use that “gift” to fund campaigns & organizations to push their “chosen” politician in office. That anonymity is the entire point. They don’t want you to know who they are.

The Thiel Foundation (owned by Peter Thiel) had donated over $10 million to DonorsTrust in just a few years according to records obtained by ProPublica.

And in the most recent election cycle, DonorsTrust spending massively increased in 2023 with expenses jumping by nearly $110 million and actually hemorrhaging money to funnel millions of dollars into top far-right organizations, many tied to Leonard Leo’s dark money network.

If donor-advised funds and “charitable anonymity” laws disappeared tomorrow, the U.S. dark-money machine would be gutted like a fish. Leonard Leo’s $1.6B Marble Freedom Trust wouldn’t be a faceless “charity,” it would show exactly which billionaires installed which judges.

After getting him in Trumps good graces, Peter Thiel went on to pour roughly $25 million into J.D. Vance’s Senate run in 2022 — $10 million through Protect Ohio Values and another $15 million through a separate Super PAC. And that’s just what shows up on the official record.

Of the books, the money gets even murkier. We know it’s more than that, because as said above, DonorsTrust shovels cash into one Leonard Leo pipeline, which passes it to another foundation, then to another, which funnels it to Vance.

It’s a daisy chain designed to skirt campaign finance laws, and Washington has looked the other way for years while they run the same play over and over.

The Senate seat was never the finish line. It was the audition. Now he’s Vice President, sitting a heartbeat behind a 78-year-old man showing obvious decline. Trump is the circus act, Vance is the succession plan.

All that money didn’t pour into J.D. Vance because anyone thinks he’s some once-in-a-generation leader. It went into him because they don’t expect Trump to live another 3.5 years, and let’s be honest, even if Trump does, they’ve already staged Vance for the handoff.

You’re not supposed to notice that part. You’re supposed to snark about Trump’s cheeseburgers or cholesterol, not look over his shoulder at the man being groomed to inherit the whole machine — bankrolled by billionaires, blessed by theocrats, and lawyered up by Leonard Leo’s legal troops placed by The Federalist Society into our judicial system.

This was never about Trump. It was never even about faith. It’s about power: raw, durable, generational power. Religion is just the cover story. Trump is just the distraction. Vance is the vessel.

Vance has been remade to serve: obedient in spirit, ruthless in ambition, and loyal to the idea that ordinary Americans can’t be trusted with democracy. They picked him because he’ll say yes and because he knows how to smile while he does it. He’s not here for you, or for me. He’s here for the church, the checkbook, and the corporate feudalism empire dreams of the technocrats. One where you have no autonomy — the right to your own body, choices, or thoughts — because Vance thinks you are “fallen” and Peter thinks you’re too stupid.

That is the very one they are already constructing in plain sight.
