Peter Thiel is kingmaker to the present administration. His firm Palantir has taken in billions in protection and ICE contracts since becoming a member of the MAGA staff in an enormous method, from 2015 by the 2024 election.
Thiel’s speeches on the antichrist have particularly drawn my consideration since it’s stunningly uncommon to listen to monetary titans and political wheeler-dealers give public lectures on the antichrist ,as he does in Europe, America, and Silicon Valley specifically.
Thiel has declared that “freedom and democracy are now not suitable.” Thiel has reduce ties with democracy—as has fellow MAGA convert Elon Musk—despite the fact that they now occupy the interior sanctum of our authorities, reminiscent of it’s.
This requires profound contemplation by all Americans, and certainly residents of the world.
A sturdy and horrifying research referred to as “The Authoritarian Stack: How Tech Billionaires Are Constructing a Submit-Democratic America—and Why Europe is Subsequent,” presents such a deep contemplation. Gil Duran of the “Nerd Reich” compiled it, and I extremely advocate studying it—although it isn’t meant for the faint of coronary heart.*
It’s stunning and direct and hits you between the eyes. It additionally helps explicate why Thiel is so dedicated to preaching on the antichrist: His major nominee for that title is anybody who’s attempting to rein-in the ability of AI, and of corporations like his Palantir, which is so adept at utilizing AI to catapult spying to a brand new dimension. “Freedom” for Thiel means freedom from regulation.
Because the Occasions of London put it, “in accordance with Thiel…fears round developments in areas reminiscent of synthetic intelligence, or the danger of nuclear struggle or environmental disasters, might usher in a interval of ‘one-world authorities’ regulation—and the approaching of the antichrist.”** Sure, regulation to Thiel constitutes the very essence of the antichrist in our time.
Palantir’s information integration programs can be utilized “to handle migration flows, monitor and suppress protests, and implement public well being measures…Authorities companies might use them in ways in which undermine civil liberties with out public consent.” The unique model of Trump’s “massive, lovely price range invoice” included a ten-year moratorium on any regulation of AI. However a leak raised a lot opposition that it was dropped. One can see how nervous the very thought of regulation makes Thiel nervous.
Thiel purchased his method into the guts of what Duran calls the “tech-right governance” by the use of J. D. Vance, whose senatorial marketing campaign he paid for ($15 million). Thiel additionally satisfied Trump to make Vance his vice presidential candidate. The “Authoritarian Stack” that Thiel is constructing contains cloud servers, AI, finance, drones, satellites, et. al. It’s quicker than authorities oversight as a result of it’s totally privatized. “A regime the place company boards, not public regulation, set the principles.”
Duran factors out how “these corporations function as state-like powers—writing the principles, wining the tenders and exporting their mannequin to Europe, the place it poses a direct problem to democratic governance.”
There’s a purpose why Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has dismantled all semblance of democracy in Hungary, fortunately sat subsequent to Trump at a latest cupboard assembly, having acquired a pledge from Trump that he’s high-quality with Hungary nonetheless shopping for Russian vitality.
Duran factors out how that what’s going on now’s now not a “revolving door” between authorities and business, however “a lock” between the 2 forming “a brand new structure of energy.” This was Mussolini’s very definition of fascism: The wedding of presidency and business.
A very scary dimension to this alliance that’s shifting at breakneck velocity by the present administration, is the “Military’s Govt Innovation Corps” the place Silicon Valley executives are being commissioned into army ranks. “In June 2025, 4 tech executives had been sworn in as lieutenant colonels: The road between contractor and commander has been erased.”
No surprise it’s been a precedence for the present administration to fireside quite a few army leaders of expertise and conscience.
All this feels just like the antichrist to me.
To be continued.
