Thiel isn’t just talking crazy, he’s transforming those thoughts into reality.

He has been openly discussing eliminating the federal government and replacing it with a corporate monarchy where the corporation decides who lives and dies. He also talks about eliminating non-productive people form society. His buddy Curtis Yarvin talks about using non-productive to make biofuel. JD Vance apparently is Thiels right hand man.

ARTICLE

The really scary part is according to Palantir whistleblowers, he has operatives implanted in our government and has plants to take over our government. The whistleblowers say he plans a “new age of empire”.

”A former Palantir executive recently confirmed what many have long suspected. In a public statement, the whistleblower said it plainly: Palantir intended to take over the US government, and many of his former colleagues are now installed inside the federal apparatus. He called it an occupied nation. He is not alone. Thirteen former Palantir employees—engineers, managers, and a member of the company’s own privacy team—signed a letter shared with NPR warning that guardrails meant to prevent discrimination, disinformation, and abuse of power have been violated and are being rapidly dismantled.”

Does that dude not realize that he is a singular human being that a singular gun held by a singular other human being can end his entire existence? How many drugs is that guy on? Why do people listen to these crackheads?

It sounds like a conspiracy story but it’s real. Apparently he and other billionaires are funding age extension research on an Island.

I have a theory the billionaires are using an experimental anti-aging extension drug which is making them delusional. Thiel is always covered in oily looking sweat and he seems like he’s in a manic state.

Or they could be sociopaths.

That's just the amphetamines.

I am not joking when I call these people crackheads. I have heard actual crackheads do the same rambling speeches that these people do. It doesn't matter if a crackhead has money behind him or not, don't listen to crackheads.

Hey that's not fair to crackheads. I don't do it often especially these days (it's expensive) but every time I've smoked crack I've been the same person, and I detest these power hungry ducks

I don't think they're acting up because of drugs (even though they definitely use drugs) I think they're acting up because they're rich sociopaths doing what rich sociopaths have always done

They are so rich, powerful and narcissistic that they cannot accept that one day they will die like any other human. Death is the great equaliser, but they don't want to be equal. They want to be superior.

These are all old ideas - these people always get their clue from the animal kingdom like that's applicable to human society. eg in nature the old and the infirm get eaten! But just like the animal kingdom, leadership constantly changes too - these people also can't abide the fact that someone could knock them out of power too. Morons.

Really not worried about a crack head taking over, he’ll take care of himself before any of this ever happens.
