Mabus: https://www.prophet666.com/2025/07/decoding-mabus-prophecy-o... If you are interested in Nostradamus. Comes from Europe, etc.

We need to stop listening to this guy and tax him. He is not smart. Most of his fortune is directly tied to extremely lucky bets on Facebook and PayPal. Palantir is a boring government contractor that makes glorified ERP software. And he has really, really dumb opinions.

Didn’t Theil also say at one point that he might be the anti-Christ? This guy is whacko and has way too much influence.

Better to hear from him directly than filtered, so worth watching the interview with the NYT's Ross Douthat, in which Thiel frames what he means by the Antichrist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vV7YgnPUxcU Without spoiling too much, it is related to civilizational stagnation, and that our lack of progress risks catastrophic outcomes.

He warns about a one-world totalitarian government, but at the same time he helps building it.

By Antichrist he means “a little girl asking us to please not ruin the world for future generations.” Really.

He’s proof that the elites are not mystically smarter than you. Probably dumber.
