Billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel delivered a series of provocative warnings and predictions about the future of artificial intelligence and the West on Tuesday, accusing Pope Leo XIV of inadvertently serving as a “Chinese communist agent” by calling for AI regulation. In his remarks at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado, he also warned of a “democratic-socialist takeover” of the United States’ Democratic Party.

Thiel, a co-founder of Palantir and PayPal, was an early supporter of President Donald Trump in Silicon Valley. He also helped launch Vice President JD Vance’s career: Vance worked at Mithril Capital, an investment firm Thiel co-founded, before Thiel backed his transition into politics. He delivered his remarks at a nonrecorded panel alongside the political scientist Francis Fukuyama. Reporters were allowed to take notes on the proceedings.

Think about it: The American Fascist state is built on Christian Nationalism. What is the ONE massive Christian organization with a power structure based OUTSIDE the United States? Do you think an organization run out of Rome, Italy with a global reach is ever going to support the idea that The United States is the Second Jerusalem, that the United States is Unique Among Nations and God's Favorite Country, that the United States is The Shining City on the Hill?

The Catholic Church must be destroyed.
