A time for truth and reconciliation, is the pieces ominous title.
The reference to South Africas post-Apartheid era policies is the most coherent line in the article.

Thiel uses ancient, Im sorry ancien, spellings of many words.
Words like apokalypsis which he says will lead to the grand unveiling of multiple truths.
Who killed Jeffrey Epstein?
Whats the real story behind the JFK assassination?
Was COVID-19 a U.S. bioweapon?
Did Brazil ban X at the behest of the Biden administration?
According to Thiel, Trump has an opportunity to unveil all these truths and more.
In short, elites.
Theres a lot of problems here.
The biggest being that Thiel is, by any measure, an elite.
He is a member of the Distributed Idea Suppression Complex he seems to oppose.
Thiel is worth more than $10 billion dollars.
He contributed significant time and money to the political career of J.D.
Vance, a man who is now a heartbeat away from the presidency.
Thiels op-ed reads like a ketamine and amphetamine-induced populist rant.
Its an appeal to the masses layered with literary references thatll fly over the heads of most college graduates.
He has access to more revelatory and apocalyptic truths than the average person, yet he whines for more.
On our behalf, presumably.
Who was president in 2019 when Epstein died?
Who is all over Epsteins flight logs?
Who has been photographed multiple times with Epistein?
The future demands fresh and strange ideas, Thiel insists.
Let me help the billionaire.
There will be no reactionary restoration of the pre-internet past, he says.
