Why does Peter Thiel believe that democracy is somehow equivalent in its nature to 51-49 outcomes reported as the results of fake elections and fake polls?
Even if the elections were real (and they aren't, at all), "democracy" does not imply a populous divided 50-50 on virtually everything. Peter Thiel replaces the reality (of democracy) with the symbol of the reality (Our Democracy™), as he often does.
To the extent division exists in America, it's a product of physical, mental, and emotional manipulation spanning decades. In truth, what we have is the perception of division which we then act into the world according to our biases. We believe there is division because the alternative is to understand the people around us as flagrantly immoral, exposing our own immorality in the process.
The true division in Our Democracy™ is not about the Republican™ brand of politics contrasting the Democrat™ brand of politics, a choice between television channels, websites, and Influencers™. The true division is between the moral (godly) and the practical (worldly) worldviews. The Republican™ brand and the Democrat™ brand are secured neatly inside the practical, worldly umbrella. The two parties (as well as the gimmick third parties) ultimately pursue the same agenda: the global Regime agenda.
Our political parties form a Uniparty. We have lived in a single party state for our entire lives. Trump threatens the established order. Because of this, he has been hated by all parties. He has cleverly conquered them all.
Trump can withstand whatever comes at him from whatever direction because the people are behind him in a vast and overwhelming majority. If the people were not, we wouldn’t be forced to spend our lives addicted to propaganda purported to represent the purpose of living life when all it creates is a purposeless existence, watching life pass by on the Screen. If his overwhelming mandate from the people was not real, we would not be perpetually subject to censorship. We wouldn’t be learning what life is within censored environments (most importantly, XformerlyTwitter) that prevent us from understanding the unreality presented to us.
To be clear, Trump’s obvious and overwhelming majority is often unrelated to policy or personality but inextricably tied to the fact that he is the weapon wielded by the people to destroy the global Regime. Trump and only Trump holds this privilege. The people’s project will outlast Trump and the people are nonetheless immunized from the low-probability possibility that Trump is hoodwinking the Americans in his profusely evidenced anti-Regime stance and agenda. If “Trump the Traitor” were to prove true in the world, the people would simply shift focus and move on.
No public figure in the United States has a true following, much less when compared to Donald Trump. People like Elon Musk or Kanye West can only claim a relatively large following compared to most other people. Our Uniparty politicians generally can’t even claim a relatively large following in their own States. That’s why Trump’s endorsement record is nearly flawless. Trump is the people’s guide. Trump’s supporters refuse to leave him because they recognize the President as the man responsible for causing them to wake up in the first place. In the decade of Trump’s political life, the moral, godly necessity has conquered the practical, worldly, centrally-planned agenda within the public consciousness and in every cultural arena.
This is visible in directionality. On countless issues, we can recognize that once-fringe ideas have become mainstream, eroding the image and reputation of the Regime in the public consciousness. This has only happened in one direction. Trump’s supporters don’t leave him for the establishment, ever. If they leave at some point in the future, it will be because Trump is revealed as part of the establishment. Part of this is the awakening process Trump catalyzed and propelled, but part of it is because Trump hasn’t argued the truth into being, he has simply used his popularity and unmatched abilities in public communication to shift America’s focus back to the real from the unreal, the moral from the practical, the godly from the worldly.
The main reason for this massive shift, beyond Trump’s singular status as the spark igniting the awakening, is that the ostensible societal division was projected and superficial in the first place. Widespread unity in stated values already existed and will always exist. That unity has been intentionally obscured. Unity among the people opposes the interest of those seeking to control the people. Ideas have been presented as fringe when the so-called fringe position, in reality, represents the only moral option opposed to the worldly options (brands, really) existing within the Controlled Opposition Dynamic, an abstract prison.
The ongoing reordering cannot actually vacillate between the moral and practical because the public consciousness has already rejected one for the other. The one no longer recognizes the other. Public consciousness can only vacillate (and therefore divide) between two brands of the same thing within the worldly and practical Controlled Opposition Dynamic. This shift has not and will not reverse course, even in the face of fifth-generation warfare targeted directly at the people, waged with technologies like the ones Thiel has purportedly created.
In addition to the speech excerpt above, Thiel has been the guest of the New York Times’ fake conservative, Ross Douthat, and the perpetually tearful and increasingly insane Jordan B. Peterson. Both of these Very Serious Intellectuals professes the same Judeo-Christianity while supporting abominable globalist political causes and organizations. These are clarifying interviews, though the added clarity is destructive to Thiel. He would be better served by shutting up, though we should welcome the exposure.
Peter Thiel seems obsessed with the worldly and only ever makes his case based on worldly concerns. He thinks our world’s great evil is the phenomenon of slowed technological advancement, what he calls stagnation. He is progressive in this, not conservative. He argues in favor of FDR and the New Deal because turning the United States into a socialist nation was good for the Science while saying he is against centralization. He is a libertarian whose definition of freedom seems to be the ability to do whatever one wants. True freedom is the ability to make moral choices unobstructed throughout life. To be prevented from making moral choices is to negate one’s freedom in a soul-crushing fashion. Freedom is meant to be constrained by morality. Where it is not, it must be constrained by the State. The State cares nothing for morality.
Thiel argues for free speech and free thought while creating the tools that can deter, if not directly limit, speech and thought, based on a worldview formed within a perspective created by censorship and propaganda.
Thiel longs for a whole new world and, in it, the ability to transform oneself into anything or nothing, a worldly usurpation of God’s order. He prattles on about Scientific advancements, but the historical examples of advancements he cites in illustrating this point, if they are not total fictions—concoctions of addled minds like Thiel’s own, bent on mass manipulation—are so thoroughly inextricable from the psychological operations layered onto them that they cannot serve as models. The stories, as told, are false at least in part and must therefore be discarded as models in full. His notable examples each represent a different aspect of the Scientific Materialist inversion of God’s order.
We do not need the next Manhattan Project. No one is asking for it aside from Peter Thiel and his friends. The Manhattan Project was conceived at Bohemian Grove and led by compromised global communists who just happen (we’re told) to be talented at selling Kabbalah by claiming its conclusions are supported by theoretical math equations. At the end of their secretive ritual in New Mexico 80 years ago, we are told, they conjured a magical bomb that allowed humans have the ability to annihilate themselves completely. Prior to this, only God had that power.
The fear of the magical bomb has directed geopolitical considerations for generations, though there is no proof anywhere that the fear is warranted. Scientists ideologically aligned with Oppenheimer gave us the global warming climate change hoax as an Existential Threat Story and followed it with the Very Deadly Pandemic Existential Threat Story. Now we are treated to an Existential Threat Story revolving around both the Machine finally subduing humanity, taking over via Artificial Intelligence™, and the Machine failing completely in some imaginary Cyber Pandemic. These are the sorts of examples Scientific Materialists like Thiel choose when arguing for the importance of technological progressivism. They want to cure cancer and cure dementia? Perhaps we should focus on what might be causing these maladies rather than investing in institutional Science to create additional dual-use medical technologies.
Peter Thiel is deeply invested in and informed by the perpetuation of the False Reality and the ability to win advantage in the acquisition of material benefits. He is a proponent of the Machine’s forcing function in service of what he frames as an improvement in our worldly circumstances, always at the expense of moral concerns. He advocates for his own empowerment and the empowerment of those who share his worldly goals in their ability to wield the most powerful tools, promising to use their power for the good of everyone, as though if people were against what he was doing, he would stop pursuing these worldly goals. Why should anyone believe that?
It’s unclear how he attained his lofty position as a billionaire and Very Serious Intellectual. We are told he is brilliant. The question is, at what? He does not have a coherent moral worldview, he is crafty to elide his blatant dishonesty, he is poorly spoken—mostly jargon, platitudes, and gibberish. Is he the brilliant mind behind private companies that have gained the ability to wield world-altering control and just so happen to regularly win military contracts, or is he the compromised (gay) face of an MIC/IC government technology empire tasked with doing things so unpalatable that to advocate for their necessity would cause even our current treasonous and illegitimate politicians to blush?
The billionaire mythos, like everything else, is falsified. These people did not create products that changed the world in their garages, if at all. They projected the illusion of being the genius entrepreneur effectively, working as the spokesmodel for the practical goods they claim their projects create in the world, ignoring the concurrent damage. Their concerns supersede no one’s concerns in value but the billionaires have outsized ability to cater to their concerns, often at the expense of others when not at the expense of everyone.
It is crucial, when imbued with power by the public, to be a moral actor but Thiel and his fellow billionaires were not imbued with power by the public, they were imbued with power by the State. To access more power, they are required to cater to the State’s concerns. The State cares nothing for morality. The State denies morality as a concern and denies morality as an option. Morality is an obstacle to the efficient implementation of the Regime agenda.
When presented with only practical, worldly options, the people are incentivized to focus on superficial differences that outwardly signal their identity while their moral identity is obscured or discarded. Immoral options, designed to divide, prevent society from acting morally and dull the moral instinct of the people. In these circumstances, it is impossible to unify across society. Without the physical/mental/emotional manipulation, without the propaganda and censorship, without the forcing functions forming the illusion of consensus that the false choice, as presented, represents the only choice, unified choices are possible.
Good people want a moral government representing them. They hash out their differences within that broader understanding. Unity must first form around moral choices so the practical considerations can be made in good faith. Prioritizing practical concerns at the expense of the moral serves to prevent consensus, excluding anyone unswayed by the incentive package on offer to ignore their moral considerations.
Our society is thoroughly brainwashed. Our elections are fake. We are subjected to unrelenting propaganda backed by censorship run for the benefit of the State and its public-private (Corporate) partnerships. The propaganda forms the basis for our understanding of reality. In our recent past, we were coerced into participating in a medical-technological experiment. Our education taught us to deplore and oppose a society with these features while convincing us that it could never happen here.
Peter Thiel pretends that the public consciousness is forced into consensus in North Korea. It’s something everyone knows. “North Korea is a brutal communist dictatorship run by an autocratic, authoritarian evil-doer.” Is this 2015? Are we to pretend we have been honestly informed about the realities of life in North Korea? Maybe it’s as they say. Maybe North Korea is the one enemy about which the people conducting our fake elections are truthful. Maybe those people don’t intend to exploit us this one time. Or maybe North Korea is like the rest of it, like Russia was.
The United States of America, in the year of its 250th birthday, already exhibits every feature of a dystopian, authoritarian State. The event we have been made to fear in foreign lands has already happened here and before we were born. Peter Thiel has done nothing to suggest that he is offering a way out of that grand cultural malaise, only ways to make the system more efficient and more beneficial relative to his worldly concerns.
Going from fifty-one percent agreement to ninety-nine point nine-nine percent society-wide consensus is not going from a democracy to North Korea, it’s going from Our Democracy™ to a society where people are satisfied with life and believe their concerns are represented. Were that not the case, the people would rise up and overthrow their rulers. The people would be supported in doing so by the US Government™ with the military (or militarized IC) backing it, as our Uniparty has done throughout our lifetimes to every nation in the world. The only thing that could thwart the success of the people is, potentially, technology like the technology Peter Thiel is credited with creating, laughably as a private businessman and innovator.
The ninety-nine point nine-nine percent majority is evidenced in the results of North Korean elections we are told are fake, whether or not they are. Our ostensible divide in America is evidenced by elections we know to be unequivocally fake and determined outside the people’s control. Society-wide unity is, in Thiel’s telling, proof of massive manipulation and falsified elections while a never-ending 51-49 split on everything is proof of freedom and democracy.
Thiel’s view on “majoritarianism” aligns with his relationship to populism as an ideology attractive enough to be exploited en masse as a means to power. He’s unabashedly unconcerned with what even the vast majority of people might want when compared to what he believes he must do in order to perfect that which cannot be perfected, namely anything of the world, much less everything.
Is his approach to his own religion discernibly different from his approach to populism? He identifies as Christian, but does he live as a Christian? He is a gay, tech-obsessed, Scientific Materialist, progressive who claims to be a Christian, conservative libertarian (which is an oxymoron trapped inside an unfathomable irony). He claims to be protecting our nation (and the nations of Regime allies) and, in doing so, positions himself as opposite to the threat and, therefore, the only effective solution. He does this while constantly professing his “Not-the-Antichrist”ness. (Pay special attention in the clip above to the way Thiel’s face changes around :35 when he realizes what question is coming.) It’s unclear whether he has any belief in his own self-professed public identity.
Favoring practical worldly concerns while papering over moral necessity is antithetical to Christianity. The New Testament is explicit about this and it is expressed repeatedly. This does not mean practical, worldly considerations should be ignored nor does it suggest there are not moral dimensions to practical concerns. It only requires that the moral and godly is chosen over the practical and worldly at all times. Each of us fails in this mission at many points in our lives, but our flaws are not cause to forgo the moral and godly in favor of our particular tastes or group interests. We must not violate the moral in favor of practical interests. We must choose among the moral, godly options that which best suits the practical interests. Practical interests can be abandoned in favor of the moral. Moral interests must never be abandoned in favor of the practical.
Populism, in Thiel’s telling is a tool for moving minds. Statements about his “Judeo-Christianity,” often filtered through a facile understanding of Rene Girard (with whom Thiel apparently studied while at Stanford), and backed with quotes from Scripture, provide a signal of deep moral consideration where no such consideration is evidenced to exist. He uses claims about populism and Christianity to support his arguments in favor of his worldly concerns, though neither populism nor Christianity seem to inform those practical choices in any way. Thiel’s lip service provides a patina of morality, godliness, and deep conviction that allows him to convince us that what he is doing is good and for the benefit of everyone.
Why would anyone give the benefit of the doubt to a stranger whose entire (poorly expressed) ideology seems clearly formed by, and in the service of, the very Regime that the people have rejected en masse and continue to reject in expanding and quickening fashion, the very Regime the people hired Trump to destroy?
Perhaps Peter Thiel has answers for these questions. I do not know his heart. I would welcome and enjoy being proven wrong in my assessment of him, because he does seem to wield substantial power. The technological platforms produced by the companies which Thiel is credited with founding, and for which he serves as a public face and spokesman, are tools, powerful tools. It matters who wields them and how. These things cannot be ignored and should not be explained away in favor of practical, worldly concerns, much less for expedience.
Brilliant article Chris. I am led to suggest that good works are the result of natural outflow of life empowered by faith in Jesus. He is the unshakable truth to build your life on. I am fasting and praying for our President and our Nation. Thank you for your many contributions to Truth and Light. Have a wonderful Independence Day 🇺🇸🍻💥
Be well and Press on!
It is a tremendous task at times to pierce the veil enough to see all of the obfuscation, the half truths, and the audacious outright lies, and yet you always seem to do so effortlessly without reproach. I always enjoy and recommend your work.
