"A German-American billionaire from South Africa is plotting with the Freemasons to raise up a Protestant antipope in Nashville" is the sort of thing you'd expect to find in a bad Walker Percy imitator, and yet the Lord Himself has written it on the canvas of history.
NEW: In leaked recordings, Peter Thiel argued that Nashville should be a moral alternative to Pope Leo XIV and the Catholic Church, which he called “a dubious ally” against a hypothetical future Antichrist Democratic president.
“America is the last and final form of the Roman Empire,” Thiel told a closed-door crowd in Nashville’s Masonic Temple. “There is no successor.”
He has attacked Pope Leo XIV at least four times this year, once calling him “a useful idiot for the CCP.” thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-…

Gratitude post: People keep reaching out to say they bought my book and it's so exciting that Incurable Graphomania continues to sell three years later. All my life I wrote in secret, so shy about my "time-wasting hobby," until Apocalypse Confidential ran my first short story ever published, The Taco Bell in the Center of the Pentagon. I'm so grateful they gave my manuscript a chance when nobody knew who I was. I woke up at 4 every day and wrote these stories on stolen time; at work, on the bus, in hospitals and chemotherapy waiting rooms, and put my whole heart into this book. I will never forget the kindness shown to me by @blauer_geist , @20gaShotgun, and @TomWill72550626, who worked so hard to make my dream come true

The right-wing Anakin posting does make a lot of sense as it combines many of the Right’s core preoccupations: getting groomed; killing your wife; working for an insane, octogenarian tyrant; being hated by your children; losing and dying

As I was saying, this really is Elon’s endgame. He wants to be the evil emperor in every science fiction story.
Many of the richest man’s so-called “visionary ideas” came from a specific series of books by socialist sci-fi author Iain M Banks.
Neuralink, human-AI societies, “universal high income”… all fanfic.
And surprise: Elon’s modeling himself on the bad guy—who tortures people in digital prisons called Hells.

Peter Thiel, viewing democracy & women's suffrage as incompatible w/ capitalism, sought to sabotage the democratic process. His 2012 backing of Ron Paul had less to do w/ libertarian ideals than exploiting his campaign to turn anti-establishment anger into a neo-reactionary tool.

My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.

DARPA biohybrids aim to ultimately merge (or couple) man and machine.
Creating insects cyborgs was a first step.
A ground-breaking example, from 2014, involves the Manduca sexta month.
DARPA scientists rebuilt the entire tissue system of the moth during metamorphic development. During the late pupa stage, the team surgically inserted an electrode in the dorsal thorax of the moth, between its neck and abdomen. “The tissue develops around the implanted electrodes and secures their attachment to the insect’s body over the course of a few days,” explains team member Alexander Verderber. “The electrodes emerge as a part of the insect’s body in the final adult stage as a moth.” By “taking advantage of the rebuilding of the insect’s entire tissue system during metamorphic development,” says Verderber, the scientists were able to create a steerable cyborg, part insect, part machine.
This was ten years ago. Imagine what DARPA is working on now...
