"Several wealthy lucky right-wing tech bros will get to hear Peter Thiel speak tonight at SF's Commonwealth Club on the topic of the Antichrist, which is a funny thing to claim to know about when you've got all manner of Jeff Epstein connections. There is apparently an emerging evangelical Christian movement going on in wealthiest pockets of the tech industry. This stands to reason I guess, because tech wants to control the masses, and religion has always proven an excellent way to control the masses."
"You are warmly invited to a series of four lectures by Peter Thiel addressing the topic of the biblical Antichrist, according to an online invite (the speeches are tonight, and the next three consecutive Mondays). Peter is a technology entrepreneur and investor who has spent much of his career writing and speaking about how his Christian faith informs his understanding of the world."
"But as you can imagine, there's not much Blessed are the poor kind of sentiment among the tech oligarchy's new Christian converts, and there's nothing consistent with the teachings of Jesus Christ when the aim of one's technologies are to do big business with the Pentagon and try to deport people who are just going to church. Though a fairly recent Vanity Fair profile has a pretty plausible explanation of why the tech elite are turning to Christianity to get closer to investor Peter Thiel,"
Peter Thiel will deliver a four-part lecture series at San Francisco's Commonwealth Club on the biblical Antichrist, beginning tonight and continuing the next three Mondays. Wealthy right-wing tech investors and executives are expected to attend a secret lecture, prompting planned protests by groups such as Bay Resistance. An emerging evangelical Christian movement appears present among affluent tech circles, with religious conversion tied to access to investors like Thiel. Critics point to contradictions between Christian teachings and actions by tech oligarchs, citing Pentagon contracts, deportation policies, and Jeffrey Epstein connections. Vanity Fair coverage suggests strategic motivations behind the turn to Christianity.
