Who Is Like Unto The Beast?

With his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, Peter Thiel would not seem to need to go looking for the Antichrist. But go looking he does. Maurice Glasman once had to tell him off for suggesting that it had been the British Empire. Now, though, Thiel has turned his attention to the Papacy, which does at least still exist, and he has taken his message to Rome itself like Ian Paisley before him, although not to its streets as Paisley did. Invitation only at the Palazzo Taverna, darling. Alas, I had to decline, since this week it all comes out about Megan and Will.

Consider the claims that the See of Rome makes. While individual Popes may be or have been charlatans or lunatics, the institution itself is either telling the truth in making those claims, or else it is indeed the Antichrist, and any professing Christian who does not submit to Rome on Rome’s own terms must believe it to be so. Who will call good evil by pointing to the Papacy’s defence and promotion of metaphysical realism, of Biblical historicity, of credal and Chalcedonian orthodoxy, of the sanctity of human life, of Biblical standards of sexual morality, of social justice, and of peace, and by then saying, “Behold, the Antichrist”? That is the question. Will it be posed to Thiel?

Or will he be asked about today’s confirmation that cannabis had no positive effect on the depression, anxiety and chronic pain for which it was now being prescribed all over the world, and all three of which I have? Thiel worked closely with Gavin Newsom on the legalisation of cannabis in California, a measure that Newsom reiterated only today that he wanted to extend nationwide. Yet Thiel is all over the NHS and the Ministry of Defence, and he is coming for our justice system.

In the age of globalisation, the Epstein Class is the iteration of the class that had always rejected the recapitulation in Jesus Christ and His Church of all three of the Old Israel, Hellenism, and the Roman Empire, a class that now encompassed centrists, right-wing populists, right-wing elitists, and the world’s only famous anarcho-syndicalist and libertarian socialist. 1 John 2:18, brothers and sisters. 1 John 2:18.
