"It causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave; to be marked on the right hand or the forehead; so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark . . ."
THEN Part 2 becomes far more likely to also happen:
Revelation 14:9-11 (RSV):
"If any one worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand; he also shall . . . be tormented with fire and brimstone . . . And the smoke of their torment goes up for the ages of the ages, and they have no rest, day or night, those worshippers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark . . ."
Are they aware of what is coming at them ? The Fallen Ones...The inspirers of this evil ? And to their henchmen ?
He who gives Life also gives Death and therefore is also called the Slayer and The Ultimate Harm Bringer .
" Vengeance is mine...I will repay ". Written loud , in bold , and crystal clear.
And why is that ? Because the level of vengeance required against this evil is indescribable . No one else but The Ever Merciful who is also called The Avenger can give it.
I Wii the rest of my days Deny the Beast. I believe in God Almighty and trust he will be my Savior when it’s my time to go. This younger generation-all I can say is “ you better Check Yourself”. While you still have time”.
The time to choose is in the past and the wrong choice was made. Now it will take more than choosing. You guys need strong leadership and people willing to go all the way to rescue your country. Some of you will not live to see if you prevail.
We’ve got to utilize open source AI systems and fight back. Period. If we have to create entirely separate systems including healthcare then we simply do that. Fuck that shit. Let the technology revolution begin 💪🏽💪🏽
Just be sure that inevitable zeal of religious conviction does not lead you into attending or subscribing into America's reigning religiouous Christian establishments where they "preach" racial division, maga subscription or general hatred. Zeal has a point of no return, zeal is the enemy.
Understood. The key is to construct this as a literary–systems analogue, not an accusation, and to keep the mapping structural, functional, and top-down, exactly as Tolkien designed his mythology to work.
Below is a clean, line-by-line analogue that preserves internal coherence and avoids collapsing into caricature.
⸻
A Top-Down Literary Analogue
Tolkien → Modern Systems Power
This is not “who is evil,” but how power behaves when mediated by seeing-systems.
⸻
I. Saruman → Peter Thiel (The Strategist Who Turns)
Saruman (Tolkien)
• Originally the chief of the Istari
• Tasked with understanding the enemy
• Becomes convinced that understanding → control
• Moves from steward to rival
• Uses the palantír believing he can “play both sides”
• Justifies alignment as realism
Peter Thiel (Analogue)
• Originally a contrarian critic of centralized power
It's not the government employee, it's the corporations as described in this article: namely, Palantir. With Google, Meta, and Amazon to follow shortly.
Yes exactly 💯
Never comply whatever the cost 💲 because ultimately we know what the real cost is- the price of your soul
And then we die
Mark of The Beast - Predictive "Hell Test"
IF Part 1, clear prediction happens,
Revelation 13:16-17 (RSV):
"It causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave; to be marked on the right hand or the forehead; so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark . . ."
THEN Part 2 becomes far more likely to also happen:
Revelation 14:9-11 (RSV):
"If any one worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand; he also shall . . . be tormented with fire and brimstone . . . And the smoke of their torment goes up for the ages of the ages, and they have no rest, day or night, those worshippers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark . . ."
Yes exactly
The answer is no
Are they aware of what is coming at them ? The Fallen Ones...The inspirers of this evil ? And to their henchmen ?
He who gives Life also gives Death and therefore is also called the Slayer and The Ultimate Harm Bringer .
" Vengeance is mine...I will repay ". Written loud , in bold , and crystal clear.
And why is that ? Because the level of vengeance required against this evil is indescribable . No one else but The Ever Merciful who is also called The Avenger can give it.
We can choose whether to comply or not right now.
The decision we make will determine how much choice we will have in the future.
We must choose wisely.
I Wii the rest of my days Deny the Beast. I believe in God Almighty and trust he will be my Savior when it’s my time to go. This younger generation-all I can say is “ you better Check Yourself”. While you still have time”.
The time to choose is in the past and the wrong choice was made. Now it will take more than choosing. You guys need strong leadership and people willing to go all the way to rescue your country. Some of you will not live to see if you prevail.
There will be no choices.
There will be no choices later if we hide in the closet and wring our hands now, that's certainly true.
Just say No is a choice. Stay true to the one who can save your soul.
I never took a covid shot!
I did… I had every single one of them
Its never been a better time to be a technophobe. And to reject the allopathic ‘health’ system that cures nothing and creates customers.
Big Brother-
I will not comply - I will not be a lemming going off the cliff!
Social Credit Scores Are A Good Idea... For Politicians!
If they have nothing to hide, then they have nothng to fear, right?

Man am I glad that I live in Canada! ✨
We’ve got to utilize open source AI systems and fight back. Period. If we have to create entirely separate systems including healthcare then we simply do that. Fuck that shit. Let the technology revolution begin 💪🏽💪🏽
I like your style! 💪💪👍💙🇺🇸 We need an-Anti-Palantir Blocking System! Those SOB’S 🤬
Help me build it 😊
This is awesome 😂☠️😊
I do not I repeat I do not want to leave in this kind of 🌎. Get me out!

Below is a clean, line-by-line analogue that preserves internal coherence and avoids collapsing into caricature.
⸻
A Top-Down Literary Analogue
Tolkien → Modern Systems Power
This is not “who is evil,” but how power behaves when mediated by seeing-systems.
⸻
I. Saruman → Peter Thiel (The Strategist Who Turns)
Saruman (Tolkien)
• Originally the chief of the Istari
• Tasked with understanding the enemy
• Becomes convinced that understanding → control
• Moves from steward to rival
• Uses the palantír believing he can “play both sides”
• Justifies alignment as realism
Peter Thiel (Analogue)
• Originally a contrarian critic of centralized power
• Positions himself as realist anti-utopian
• Believes asymmetric knowledge produces stability
• Funds and shapes systems that see more than they act
• Frames alignment with state power as necessity
• Moves from skeptic of Leviathan to architect within it
Structural Match
A guardian who convinces himself that proximity to power is the only way to constrain it.
Saruman does not seek chaos.
Neither does Thiel.
Both seek order through foresight.
⸻
II. The Palantíri → Palantir Technologies (Seeing Without Wholeness)
Palantíri
• Truth-showing, not lying
• Partial, framed, asymmetric
• Dangerous because they induce certainty
• Favor the stronger will
• Create dependence on vision over wisdom
Palantir Technologies
• Integrates real data, not fabrication
• Presents partial operational realities
• Privileges those who control access
• Creates decision asymmetry
• Encourages preemptive logic over moral deliberation
Exact Analogue
The danger is not falsehood, but strategic incompleteness combined with confidence.
Saruman falls because he trusts the stone more than judgment.
Modern institutions fall the same way.
⸻
III. Sauron → The System Itself (Not a Person)
This is crucial.
Sauron is not a CEO analogue.
Sauron Represents
• Total system logic
• Optimization without mercy
• Order divorced from consent
• Inevitability framed as realism
Modern Equivalent
• Bureaucratic-algorithmic Leviathan
• Surveillance capitalism + security state
• Self-justifying systems
• “This is how the world must work”
Saruman does not worship Sauron.
He accepts Sauron’s premises.
That is the real corruption.
⸻
IV. The White Council → Fragmented Moral Authority
White Council
• Divided
• Slow
• Afraid of overreach
• Reluctant to act decisively
• Outsourced vigilance to Saruman
Modern Analogue
• Academia
• NGOs
• Ethics boards
• Fragmented regulatory bodies
• Public intellectuals with no enforcement power
They:
• Warn
• Debate
• Delay
Meanwhile, the seeing-systems scale.
⸻
V. Gandalf → The Sorcerer Who Refuses the Stone
Gandalf
• Understands the palantír
• Refuses to use it
• Chooses persuasion over domination
• Acts locally, relationally
• Wins by inspiring agency in others
Modern Analogue
• Decentralized open-source leaders
• Institutional refusers
• Ethical technologists who reject total visibility
• Builders of tools that limit power
Gandalf’s power is not information.
It is moral authority combined with restraint.
⸻
VI. Open Source AI → The Hobbits + Ents (Unscalable Power)
This is where your intuition is strongest.
Hobbits / Ents
• Non-centralized
• Non-strategic
• Resistant to abstraction
• Slow, embodied, local
• Dangerous only when ignored
Open-Source / Decentralized AI
• Non-proprietary
• Non-hierarchical
• Hard to monopolize
• Emergent rather than controlled
• Ethically plural
Saruman loses because:
He cannot model what does not seek domination.
Centralized vision systems always fail to predict grassroots emergence.
⸻
VII. The Scouring of the Shire → Local Reclamation
Scouring
• Saruman reduced to petty tyranny
• Power becomes bureaucratic
• Surveillance without grandeur
• Control without legitimacy
Modern Equivalent
• Algorithmic micromanagement
• Digital feudalism
• Platform coercion
• Administrative cruelty
The victory does not come from overthrowing the system globally —
but from local refusal and reclamation.
⸻
VIII. Frodo → Moral Rejection, Not Counter-Power
This is the keystone.
Frodo
• Does not replace Saruman
• Does not dominate him
• Does not kill him
• Names him
• Rejects his worldview entirely
Modern Analogue
• Moral refusal of total systems
• Choosing limits over optimization
• Refusing inevitability narratives
• Rejecting “necessary evils”
Frodo proves something Saruman cannot tolerate:
Power is not the only way to act meaningfully.
That is Saruman’s true defeat.
⸻
IX. Final Structural Mapping (Condensed)
Tolkien Modern Analogue
Saruman Strategist-technologist aligned with power
Palantíri Surveillance / decision-intelligence platforms
Sauron Self-justifying systems logic
White Council Fragmented moral institutions
Gandalf Ethical restraint + decentralized leadership
Ents / Hobbits Open-source, local, emergent forces
Frodo Moral refusal of domination itself
⸻
Closing Precision
Your model works because it is not conspiratorial.
It is structural.
Tolkien’s warning was never “don’t build seeing-stones.”
It was:
Do not mistake vision for wisdom, or control for legitimacy.
If you want, the next step would be:
• Turning this into a formal essay or framework
• Mapping this onto AI alignment theory
• Or refining Frodo’s role into a non-naive moral philosophy
Just tell me which direction to proceed.
Good compilation! I shall download it.
This has totally LOST ME….. yikes. 😱
Yet more getting rid of "useless" people, like your article predicting a future "Logan's Run" and "Soylent Green".
This one article is worth the subscription price.
I would like to take this thing and shove up a GODvernment employee's a ss that is trying to make me take it.
It's not the government employee, it's the corporations as described in this article: namely, Palantir. With Google, Meta, and Amazon to follow shortly.
Monetize and control.
I’m not even religious, but that sounds like some fucked up 666 number of the beast bullshit!!
NO THANKS. 🤬
The kimchee we're in? It's deep and pungent.
