Thiel was a cofounder of payments group PayPal and Palantir, a defence contractor known for mass surveillance and criticised heavily for its “strategic partnership” with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in its assault on Gaza.

A leaked schedule for the “retreat” hosted by Dialog, an invitation-only group cofounded 20 years ago by Thiel and entrepreneur Auren Hoffman, featured discussions on topics including preparations for a third world war, battlefield technologies, nuclear energy and cult-building.

Totally normal, nothing to see here. Just a business meeting!

    One of the luxury-bunker preppers, that answered the question "how to make bodyguards/private army and service people not rebel you (not by treating them humanely, rolleyes)" with "make a cult with you at the center"?

    This would track.

    There are enough sub billionaires (almost a billionaire not quite) now that you can build a cult out of them, that is what is happening here.

    And Politicians see this and they are like "we should get Palantir all over our country". Guess why...
