I Have No Idea What Peter Thiel is Trying to Say ...

Sunday, January 12, 2025

... and It's Making Me Really Uncomfortable. In a rambling op-ed for the Financial Times, the master of the universe ranted about the JFK conspiracy, The Decameron, immortal rulers from Gulliver's Travels and Jeffrey Epstein.

The op-ed baffles. "In hindsight, the internet had already begun our liberation from the DISC prison upon the prison death of financier and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2019," he writes. Who was president in 2019 when Epstein died? His vaunted Trump. Who is all over Epstein's flight logs? Trump. Who has been photographed multiple times with Epistein? Trump.

Comments

"Peter Thiel, longtime Trump supporter and billionaire master of the universe, published an op-ed in Financial Times that perfectly replicates the experience of being cornered by a sweaty cokehead at an Austin, Texas house party.

"A time for truth and reconciliation," is the piece's ominous title.

The reference to South Africa's post-Apartheid era policies is the most coherent line in the article. The subhed immediately takes us into drug-rant territory:

"Trump's return to the White House augurs the apoklypsis' of the ancien regime's secrets."

So... what Trumpers voted for. Nice.

What this really is is an elitist bashing elitists and hoping the rubes won't notice.

But he's no Trump when it comes to relating to stupid people, and taking their lunch money away from them with a scam.

Who is the I/me in this article, and why should we care? Is the article about the author or Thiel?

Hint: if your headline massively distracts from what the article is a about, it's not good journalism.

Weird.

Also a hint.

More from the cited article...

... According to Thiel, Trump has an opportunity to unveil all these truths and more. ...

Apparently Mr Thiel seems to have an opinion of Pres-elect Trump that indicates he (Mr Thiel) thinks Pres-elect Trump has a clue about truth.

Wow, that guy is as loony as Laura Looner, er...Loomer. And Trump.
Wow.
Total gibberish.
I'm glad FT printed it though; this shows the world that Thiel is no genius at all.

Too much ketamine?

Take note the latitude/longitude of Chaco Culture National Park in New Mexico. The internet age has not taught people spherical trigonometry, nor apprised the public on the history of Europeans on this land hundreds of years before Columbus was born. Around the same time Europeans were in "New Mexico" Europeans were killing each other back home with plagues on each others' houses.

The "Distributed Idea Suppression Complex (DISC)" has historically kept the American public so dumb that the US now has to import H1B visa-holders to keep things running. The apartheid reference is appropriate, and, speaks to this fact.

DISC = Milo Minderbinder and friends

An ode to the upcoming Trump administration?

You decide.

Tuff Darts -- (Your Love Is Like) Nuclear Waste (1977)

Lyrics excerpt ...

madmusic.com

... I'd rather crawl through poison ivy
or grab high tensions wires
cut my legs off at the knees
or set myself on fire

Than have to feel your charms
closing in around me
or feel your slimy kisses covering my body

Your love is like a nuclear waste
your body is a danger to the human race
they should stamp contaminated right across your face
your love is like a nuclear waste

I'd rather stick my tongue into a vat
drink ex-lax all day long
or have to chew on razor blades
or--------- to king kong

Than have to be between the sheets with you for any time
or have to feel your scaly flesh moving onto mine

Your love is like a nuclear waste
your body is a danger to the human race
they should stamp contaminated right across your face
your love is like a nuclear waste
...

The ground has moved.

I wonder if Trump's tariffs are going to have a huge negative effect on Thiel's billion dollar turf in Silicon Valley and Thiel has decided it's not in his best interest to wait until 2028 to be the shadow president.

Trump might want to consider a new wardrobe made out of Kevlar.

When you think tariffs, think the 100% tariff that the US put on Chinese Electric Vehicles, just so Tesla could stay in business. Now think on the fact that it was Biden who did that...one wonders just how insane the tariffs will get when Trump sticks his thumb on the economic scales.
I am pretty much the opposite of Peter Thiel...no money, no influence, but even I know the ---- is going to get really, really deep when it comes to being able to predict the markets.

Sounds like he's just another fascist demanding an investigation into why trump's mountain of crimes was investigated.

Trump is a Trojan Horse. Once he's in, the ones that inhabit him will emerge and take over. As long as DOGE doesn't eliminate the office of VP, Theil minion Shady Vance will be installed as emperor. It's all over but the shouting, they've come to take what's ours.

Maybe that puts his fears into context?

He definitely looked nervous, and couldn't make a complete sentence.
