It’s astonishing—and yet not surprising—to watch the same patterns repeat themselves in those who wield money and power. The recent revelations about Peter Thiel’s secret “Antichrist seminar” reveal much more than his political agenda; they expose the inner landscape of a man consumed by paranoia, control, and fear.
As reported by The Guardian, Thiel told his audience that without a “biblical context,” people would never find the idea of a one-world state “scary enough.” In other words, he needs religion—not for faith, but for manipulation. He dresses his political and business ambitions in apocalyptic robes, using scripture as theater to frighten and control the masses. For him, religion isn’t a search for meaning; it’s a weapon of influence.
This is how the powerful operate when they are emotionally blind: they exploit humanity’s fear of punishment and promise of salvation to maintain their own dominance. It’s the same psychological mechanism that drives cult leaders, dictators, and even family tyrants.
Peter Thiel, through his companies like Palantir—now profiting again under the shadow of Trump's return—reveals how power seeks reinforcement through political puppets. Money and ideology become intertwined, feeding each other in a cycle of fear and dependency.
The Paranoia of the Wealthy
Thiel’s obsession mirrors what I have long observed within my own family. My niece—the wealthiest in our family—votes for the far-right candidate in Portugal for the same reason Thiel supports Trump in America: fear disguised as righteousness. She believes this candidate will protect her wealth and punish those she deems “undeserving.”
As I wrote in a 2023 post titled “Money Issues”:
“Money alone has never saved anyone! If you didn’t make your own money and needed your mother’s money to survive, it would be one thing, but you don’t need her money, and this addiction to money can be destructive to both of you… No matter how much money they have, it’s never enough. They always want more, like an addict is addicted to heroin—never satisfied!”
It’s the same compulsion at every level—from family dynamics to global politics. Those who never resolved their early deprivation or emotional humiliation often grow up seeking endless substitutes: money, fame, control, religion, or ideology. But the wound can never be filled from the outside.
Control Is the Illusion
What Thiel and others like him don’t understand is that control is an illusion. The more they cling to power, the more enslaved they become to their own fear. Their “one-world” paranoia is merely the projection of their inner prison—the fear of being powerless, insignificant, or emotionally naked.
They think they can buy safety, but money cannot buy trust, love, or peace of mind. Power cannot replace intimacy. And religion, twisted into fear, cannot heal the child who was once punished for being authentic.
The real “Antichrist” is not some mythical figure—it’s the system of emotional repression itself. It’s the collective blindness that keeps humanity trapped in the same endless cycle of domination and submission.
The Coming Collapse
Those who seek total control are, in truth, the most controlled by their own inner demons. They are shooting themselves in the foot, aligning with authoritarian movements that will eventually devour them. “Who wants it all,” as I wrote today, “will lose it all.”
The wealthy who think they can escape the consequences of their emotional blindness are mistaken. Their empires may rise on the illusion of control, but they will crumble under the weight of their unacknowledged fears.
Money and power will not save them—nor will it save humanity. Only truth and resolving childhood repression can do that.
