The other day I read an article about how Peter Thiel has been going around giving strange speeches in which he speculates about who the Antichrist might be and what signs we should look for to spot him if he shows up, and all I could think of was that
Caitlin, are you aware that Peter Thiel was allowed to bypass the legal requirements for New Zealand citizenship while John Key was PM? He wanted to buy a large property in the South Island but to do so would normally require governmental permission since he was a foreign citizen. Key fast tracked his citizenship without him ever having resided there.
Plebs must comply with the visa application & 5 year residency rule before citizenship, but not Thiel.
Carl Jung said: "Wisdom without compassion is cruelty, and compassion without wisdom is suicide". Peter seems to fit the first half of that clause to a "T".
The most repugnant human I've seen, more so even than Trump.
In my view, compassion is wisdom, the insight that we all share a common bond, not only 99.9% DNA but the ability to look into the eyes of another human being or animal and see kin, leading us to the result of compassion, which is kindness. I do not feel this with a rock, which is a crystal lattice but I do with any living creature, even a bug which will fight or flee if menaced, just as we do.
The psychopaths who have naturally come to power in a system based on profit over people are those who have lost the wisdom of compassion: "“We’ve got civilizational suicidal empathy going on,” Musk said, borrowing the term from Gad Saad, a Canadian scholar who is also a frequent Rogan host.
While Musk said he believes in empathy and that “you should care about other people,” he also thinks it’s destroying society.
“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit,” Musk said. “There it’s they’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.”
Empathy, he said, has been “weaponized.”
A society without empathy, which is what oligarchs like Thiel and Musk, and their puppets like Vance and Miller, propose, is what is called fascism. It will not call itself fascism but Americanism or some other Newspeak. This will, unless we unite and show who's the boss, take over the media, the narrative control, and we will all become slaves licking their boots as they crush us into the polluted soil.
In this painting my Caitlin, I feel the evil creep of fascism, in a medium where hatred can be used to depict the hateful.
Re: "Musk said he believes in empathy and that “you should care about other people,” he also thinks it’s destroying society." Something doesn't add up here: Isn't Musk said to be the richest man in the world? It's not possible for the richest man in the world to believe in empathy. Remember Christ saying that "it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get to heaven. If Musk knew what empathy is, he would no longer be the richest man in the world. He would have given all his extreme wealth to the hungry and the starving, and would no longer be that rich.
I recall Musk asked how much it would cost to end world hunger, so a charitable organisation presented the figure and he bought twitter instead. They fear empathy because it is inherently human and the path to bonding, the last thing they want it the general public bonding rather than being manipulated into division
Wow. This is one of the best comments I've read on Substack. I agree that the oligarchs exploit empathy. That is the entire basis of the Club of Rome's choice of "Climate Change(TM)" as their cause celeb to get the plebes under control. This has been a plan since the 1970s, with the Rockefellers and Maurice Strong leading the way. It's why Greta Thunberg was such an effective trope for a while.
EW. The Club of Rome Climate Change is not getting the plebes under control (they are now with a fossil fuel world) but changing that: "Solving climate change isn’t just about technology or reducing emissions — it also involves tackling inequality, poverty, governance, behaviour, culture. Example: one of their modelling scenarios (“The Giant Leap”) connects climate stabilisation with ending extreme poverty and reforming the financial system. "

Ending poverty is not controlling the plebes but dismantling the control systems in place.
Demand Aston Villa’s match against Maccabi Tel Aviv be cancelled
If you are in the UK:
On 6 November, Aston Villa FC is scheduled to host Maccabi Tel Aviv in the UEFA Europa League. Allowing Israeli football teams to compete in international competitions sanitises its horrific violence and allows Israel to cynically present itself as a normal country, obscuring the truth that it is carrying out a genocide, and imposing a regime of settler-colonialism, military occupation and apartheid against Palestinians.
I think there has always been an "Antichristness" that some people, and bureaucratic entities channel more than others.
;-(
It is fairly pervasive. It needs to get rid of a lot of us to sustain profits and hierarchy as global industrial economy shrinks and the global financial system, based on exponential growth of debt and interest, breaks as a result.
For those channeling "Antichristness" this is an opportunity to trick and torture people as they get rid of the "useless eaters", who do not directly serve them.
He is terrifying. In photos he looks sweaty and ill. When I read he'd called Greta Thunberg the possible anti-Christ, I realized what a sick, dangerous person he is. The obscene wealth of these billionaires, trillionaires, has twisted and warped them, and they can't see it. Wouldn't most normal people think of all the good they could do, all the suffering they could ease with that much money?
And always marvelous portraits! Have you done Greta?
Another horrific image for the Jewish hive museum of genocidal monsters, rogue thieves, pathological liars and other nightmares you knew were under your bed and lurking in the back of your closet despite your mother trying to calm your fears. The best thing about low life like Thiel is that they all die, everyone of them, just like all the other scum that floated to the surface before them.
Every living organism dies and everything they created eventually perishes to dust. We all die and cowards like Peter Thiels of this world live in constant dread of that knowledge. They quake and shiver at the thought of their known future that cannot be avoided despite underground bunkers and transhuman machines in which they hope to preserve their consciousness. But none of it matters because they are all going to die. No matter the inventions, their inevitable future cannot change.
The live in fearful knowledge that their day is fast approaching when they will lose everything and the more one has, the more the perceived loss. In that last gasp for breath they go unwillingly to face the music, which is invariably a return here to receive the malevolence of their deeds.
"To get rid of our enemies, we must create our own socialist terror. In order to do this, we will have to drag 90 million of the 100 million Russians with us and have them on our side. We have nothing to say to the remaining 10 million; we will have to get rid of them. [ . . . ] We will turn our hearts into steel, which we will temper in the fire of suffering and the blood of fighters for freedom. We will make our hearts cruel, hard, and immovable, so that no mercy will enter them, and so that they will not quiver at the sight of a sea of enemy blood. We will let loose the floodgates of that sea. Without mercy, without sparing, we will kill our enemies in scores of hundreds. Let them be thousands; let them drown themselves in their own blood. For the blood of Lenin and Uritsky, Zinovief and Volodarski, let there be floods of the blood of the bourgeois - more blood, as much as possible.”
It is reported that the craven coward Zinoviev licked the boots of his executioner begging to have his life spared. Cowards one and all, terrorized by their own death.
This is not schadenfreude. This is merely noting that, in the end, death is the great leveler, the great equalizer that puts everyone and everything ~ everything ~ at the very same level of existence and nothing ~ nothing ~ can escape that fate. The fear they instill in others eats away at the very core of their ephemeral existence on this plane.
For these beings, the end never arrives, only endless recycling. The trials and tribulations of beginning once again to try achieving desires lost in the end. For them this existence is an endless nightmare of pain and suffering, of mental anguish, for that it the design of this place.
The soul has a chance to escape it, but not by manipulating the material world that is in reality just a never ending series of momentary illusion. Then there are those hollow shells that have no soul. These are the NPC's in life, put here simply to interact with souls. For them this is the only chance they have, for they cease to exist when they die.
Want to freak these malevolent scum out of their wits? Just keep reminding them they are going to die and there is nothing they can do about it. Keep saying it to their face, "DIE! DIE! DIE! You are going to die no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you are all going to die."
That's right, shove the very same reality they plan for others right back in their face. This will give them something else to think about as they lay awake at three in the morning hatching new schemes of hate and destruction.
It helps to wear a skeleton mask as you look at them and let them know who and what are right beside them on the inevitable journey to the grave. Face it cowards, look death in the eye because it's coming in a very short time to take you to your grave. Then you will know who, from the beginning, would have the last laugh.
Happy Halloween Peter! There will be plenty of tricks and endless, vanishing treats where you are going. This Christmas, give Peter Thiel, and others like him, a Charles Dickens Christmas Carol. Make it their worst nightmare.
I am a (retired) curator of contemporary art and a political radical. I LOVE your portraits, which are outrageously expressive, powerful, and absolutely stunning in their sensual painterliness. I wish it were possible to organize a traveling exhibition of them, which would accompanied by their creator.
The Age of Billionaires is making the Gilded Age look like child's play. Such obscenity, such wretched excess, all in the name of "Freedom and Democracy".
I constantly use word luigi as a Verb to act and as a noun and as a adjective. All fine. Repeat, rinse. Has come to that with this cross pollination of capitalists with free rein corporations and free range war monger industry complex sprinkled with some cia, mossad and m16 to spice up profits.
Even if there is a “ceasefire,” the occupation won’t end. From AI to cloud services to propaganda, Big Tech is fueling the genocide in Gaza. There's a letter-writing campaign to join. The letter itself is a bit wimpy. Please feel free to add or revise it before sending.
Wanted for Crimes Against Humanity. Great painting.
There are a select few who represent how terrible this world has become. He's a member of that group.
PERFECT POST

He must have paid for it with much money ?
The paltry sum of NZ 1 million - equivalent to approximately US 750k at the time - disguised as a donation to the Christchurch earthquake fund.
It would make sense for the actual Antichrist to say "Look, over there!"
A wise woman once wrote decades ago
that the true anti-Christ is the advertising industry.
"They lie about the secret of happiness and the purpose of life."
What would she say now?
Who else tries to control and shape our minds now?
Our system i.e. capitalism. Advertising is only a part of it.
