HERE IS TODAYS NEW YORK TIMES HEADLINE
“ Seeking God, or Peter Thiel, in Silicon Valley
“When tech luminaries talk about their Christian faith, people listen.”
NATCON:HOW THIS SHOCKING HEADLINE AND THE REALITY BEHIND IT CAME TO BE.
Thiel has heavily influenced the Christian Nationalism narrative through events like NATCON which has been able to bring in two major figures in the NEO-CALVINIST movement among reformed Baptist and Presbyterian circles .This is especially so among young Reformed pastors.
“Theologian Albert Mohler, left, and Pastor Douglas Wilson, right, shake hands during a discussion Tuesday at the fourth annual National Conservatism Conference (NatCon 4) in Washington, D.C., on July 9, 2024. | Screengrab/X/Megan Basham”
(FROM CHRISTIAN POST)
“Theologian Albert Mohler and Pastor Douglas Wilson engaged in a discussion this week at the fourth annual National Conservatism Conference (NatCon 4) in Washington, D.C., about the proper role of Christianity in the government.”
“During a Tuesday panel titled “The Crisis of Meaning and Morality in the West,” the two theologians appeared to find common ground in their belief that Christians should be committed to “maximizing” the Christian underpinnings of the State in the Western world and especially the United States.”
MOHLER”
“I want to maximize the Christian commitments of the state. I call that “acknowledgment.” I’m not claiming that every citizen will be a confessing Christian. but that does not mean they are not obligated to the acknowledgment of the Christian structure of this civilization. -“

THE DAILY WIRE EVANGELICAL RED CARPET REPORTER TURNED JOURNALIST.
MEGAN BASHAM ,WHO SPOKE AT NATCON THE YEAR PRIOR, IS ROLLING OUT THE PROMOTIONAL RED CARPET FOR WILSON AND MOHLER ON X
“The handshake that will be seen around the Protestant world. Both Wilson and Mohler agree that Christians should be committed to “maximalizing” the Christian commitment of the State,
aks: What would this mean to Jews, Hindus, Muslims in the United States?
: it would mean Jews are MORE welcome in the United States.
: Those of other religions would be welcome, but a nation cannot exist without specific theological commitments. And others must acknowledge those commitments. The secularist dream is a constitutionalist nightmare.”

THIEL IN THE GOP 2016 WAS A FORESHADOW OF THINGS TO COME:
Politics
‘I Am Proud To Be Gay,’ Tech Investor Peter Thiel Tells GOP Convention”
July 21, 2016
“Of course, every American has a unique identity,” he continued. “I am proud to be gay. I am proud to be a Republican. But most of all, I am proud to be an American. I don’t pretend to agree with every plank in our party’s platform. But fake culture wars only distract us from our economic decline.”
“The crowd applauded after Thiel said the words “I am proud to be gay” and cheered louder, some on their feet, as he kept going, about his pride in his party and in being an American.”
“It was not the only moment that signaled more support and inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans among the Grand Old Party’s biggest night in front a large national audience. Later in the evening, Donald Trump voiced his support for the LGBTQ community in his acceptance speech.”

“Apocalypse Now? Peter Thiel on Ancient Prophecies and Modern Tech.”
“Peter Thiel —the prominent tech entrepreneur and thinker— returns to Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson, to discuss his views on the end times, technology, and societal progress.Monday, November 18, 2024″
“Peter Thiel—the prominent tech entrepreneur and thinker—returns to Uncommon Knowledge with Peter Robinson to discuss his views on the end times, technology, and societal progress. Thiel delves into the historical and philosophical context of apocalyptic thinking, referencing biblical texts and the work of René Girard. He argues that modern technological advancements, such as nuclear weapons and AI, have apocalyptic potential and should be taken seriously. Be sure to come back for part two of this conversation in which Thiel discusses the concept of the Antichrist.”

THIELS ROLE IN NATCON
FIRST THIEL’S BIO FROM NATCON3
“Peter Thiel is a technology entrepreneur and investor. He co-founded PayPal and Palantir, made the first outside investment in Facebook, and has funded companies like LinkedIn and Yelp. Peter also started the Thiel Foundation, which supports science, technology, and long-term thinking about the future.”
“Peter Thiel spoke on the topic: “The Tech Curse””
NATCON IN ITS OWN WORDS
“The National Conservatism Conference brings together public figures, journalists, scholars, and students who understand that the past and future of conservatism are inextricably tied to the idea of the nation, to the principle of national independence, and to the revival of the unique national traditions that alone have the power to bind a people together and bring about their flourishing.”
“We see national conservatism as the best path forward for a democratic world confronted by a rising China abroad and a powerful new Marxism at home. We see the rich tradition of national conservative thought as an intellectually serious alternative to the excesses of purist libertarianism, and in stark opposition to political theories grounded in race.”
“The National Conservatism Conference is a project of the Edmund Burke Foundation, a public affairs institute founded in January 2019 with the aim of strengthening the principles of national conservatism in Western and other democratic countries.”

MORE TO COME : THIS IS AN EVER DEEPENING AND RAPIDLY EMERGING MANIFESTATION OF INFLUENCE ON THE CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIV MOVEMENT.
CONCLUSION
The continued inflitration of Libertarians in the Conservative Movement is now a long standing effort to redefine what it means to be “Conservative” in America. NOW these same forces and all that comes with them- are flooding the Christian Conservative political and SPIRTUAL space with little to no resistance and VERY few who dare question the outcomes in mind.
THIS unquestioned FLOODTIDE of influence can only mean that Christian Conservatives are more lost than ever when it comes to discerning the times and those who want to tell them-what to think- how to vote- and worst of all” WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CHRISTIAN.“
