Peter Thiel’s Apocalyptic Worldview Is a Dangerous Fantasy
https://jacobin.com/2025/11/peter-thiel-palantir-apocalypse-antichrist
Thiel recently generated headlines with his rambling diatribes about the Antichrist. Thiel’s lurid, apocalyptic view of world politics may be ludicrous or even deranged, but his wealth and power mean that we can’t afford to ignore it.

Ah, or as my mother put it, the protocol of the ninnies of zion. (not an anti-semitic remark, and anti-wolfowitz-perle-remark)
The neocon agenda has been pretty well spelled out, and I think they'd stop at nothing. The upside is that they are so incompetent and pseudo-intellectual that they will fail without any intervention from us. The downside is that they will cause a lot of damage in the process. Best to at the very least get out of the way. Anyway, I'll check out the book. Know thine enemy, and yeah, I hope everyone is on that page, these guys are the enemy, not just a misguided group of folks (that would be al qaeda). At least, that's what my congressman, senior republican representative Sherwood Bohlert said (too bad he's retiring.)
I think the neocons don't realize that they have just about no one fooled. I suspect they're arrogant enough to not care. And for all you on the left, I give you this very clear heads up:
The neocons are making the shift to the democratic party. They know enough to know that they've worn out their welcome on the right. They'll be the ones saying all of, er., some of, the right things, er., the left things, against this admin. without attacking key parts of the agenda. If someone on the left up and says 'the war on terror is a sham' or 'the patriot act is evil' you'll know they're not on the team. If they say 'we need more troops in Iraq,' or 'the problem with Bush is he's too right-wing' they just might be. And I think I've tossed this out a few times, Hillary, Lieberman, Nelson, DiFi, and I'm suspecting Harry Reid, probably a couple others, but they know Bush is a throw away, and are building ranks on the left and are prepared to lead you down the garden path. Learn from our mistakes: don't fall for it.
Thanks for the tip on the book.
