Peter Thiel's Gospel Of Fear Is Control Sold As Salvation


(MENAFN- Asia Times) Peter Thiel has always thrived on contradiction. The billionaire who built the tools of the modern surveillance stat now wants to deliver a series of lecture on the Antichrist.

Four private sessions, sold out in San Francisco, devoted to a figure long associated with deception and domination. The irony is only possible to miss if you've had your common sense surgically removed.

For decades, Thiel has poured money into technologies that give governments new powers to watch, measure, and predict the lives of citizens.

His creations have been less about serving people and more about sorting them. Databases replace dialogue. Algorithms replace trust. What once felt like a town square begins to feel like a control grid.

Through Founders Fun , his venture capital arm, the translucent technocrat bankrolls companies that reach deep into daily life. From finance to biotech to defense, the pattern is clear: invest in systems that categorize, codify, and control.

These are not neutral tools. They shape how people shop, travel, speak, even think. They decide which risks are flagged, which behaviors are rewarded, and which choices are quietly closed off.
