Palantir's Multi-Million Dollar Government Contracts Under Scrutiny Amid Peter Thiel's 'Antichrist' Warnings

A recent social media post by Stewart Alsop, host of the "Crazy Wisdom Radio Show," has ignited discussion surrounding tech billionaire Peter Thiel's influence on government data centralization and his purported motivations. Alsop claimed, "At this point it’s clear to me that Thiel, through his support of centralizing US databases has done more for the one world government than Biden was doing (because of incompetence)."

Thiel, co-founder of data analytics firm Palantir Technologies, has seen his company secure substantial contracts with various U.S. government agencies. Palantir has received over $113 million in federal government spending since the Trump administration, with additional contracts including a $795 million deal with the Department of Defense. The company's technology is reportedly used to link data across agencies like the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the IRS, and the Social Security Administration, raising concerns about the potential creation of a "master database" of American citizens' private information.

Adding a layer of complexity, Alsop's tweet further alleged that Thiel's actions stem from a "fear of the anti christ," citing "illegal notes" as his source. While the existence of "illegal notes" remains unsubstantiated, Thiel has publicly engaged with the concept of the Antichrist in recent interviews and lectures. He posits that the Antichrist would rise by promising "peace and safety," suppressing technological progress, and ultimately ushering in a one-world totalitarian state, often linking this to environmentalism and excessive regulation.

Critics and commentators have noted the apparent irony in Thiel's warnings, given Palantir's role in developing tools that facilitate large-scale data aggregation and surveillance for government entities. As one attendee at a Thiel lecture observed, "Palantir makes the AI technology that decides who lives or dies in a battlefield, which seems exactly like the Antichrist [Thiel] describes." This juxtaposition highlights a central tension between Thiel's philosophical anxieties about centralized power and the operational reality of his business ventures.

Stewart Alsop, whose "Crazy Wisdom" podcast explores technology, spirituality, and philosophy, concluded his tweet with a personal reflection, stating, "I personally think Revelations (the book that gives us the Antichrist is a negative 'channeled' book that has no business in authentic scripture, but in no expert, just a simple shit poaster)." The tweet underscores the ongoing debate about the intersection of technology, government power, and the personal beliefs of influential figures in shaping public discourse and policy.
