The world is always ending according to some pundit or other. But after thousands of years of spectacularly false predictions of the end of the world, why are people still listening to these dissembling doomsayers? And, more to the point, how can these false tales of Armageddon lead us into the arms of the Antichrist? Let’s find out in this week’s edition of The Corbett Report podcast.

Hey, James Corbett here.
Do you remember back in the year 999 when Pope Sylvester II—yes, real name, look it up—predicted the beginning of the end of the world in the year 1000? What a fruitcake!
And do you remember back in the 16th century when English witch Mother Shipton predicted, “The world to an end will come / In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.”
What a loon!
And do you remember all those Mayan calendar aficionados who tried to convince us that the world was coming to an end in 2012 and we were going to be shunted off into some alternate reality, where Donald Trump was going to be President and billionaire tech overlords were going to be trying to shove brain chips in our brain?
Okay, well, that one might be true. But . . . you know what I mean. The world is always ending, according to someone or other.
And, of course, every . . . single . . . one of those end-of-the-world predictions throughout the entire course of human history has been wrong.
But people keep making them. And, more to the point, people keep listening.
But why? Today, we are going to explore what compels people to constantly predict the end of the world, what compels other people to listen to those predictions, and what this whole process can teach us about the world we’re living in . . . with the help of . . . Peter Thiel? And the Antichrist?
Broc, hit the theme! [The Corbett Report theme music starts.]
Welcome back, friends. Welcome back to another edition of The Corbett Report. I’m your host, James Corbett of corbettreport.com, coming to you from the sunny climes of Western Japan here in July of 2025 with Episode 481 of The Corbett Report podcast, “Antichrist or Armageddon?”
And yes, as you may have observed, if you’ve been around in the independent media space, let alone in the world generally, over certainly the past couple of decades, people love predicting the end of the world—Apocalypse, Armageddon, various tales of doom and woe and catastrophe.
And if you’ve somehow managed to avoid all of those predictions, well, I certainly have seen my share in the 18 years that I’ve been doing The Corbett Report, and I’ve documented some of them along the way.
Does anyone remember, for example, Operation Blackjack?
Does anyone remember the Shemitah?
Have you heard of the latest? Apparently there was some Japanese manga from the 1990s who was predicting that July 5, 2025, will be the date of some cataclysmic earthquake/tsunami event that’s going to devastate Japan.
Well, I am on the edge of my seat quite literally here in Japan. I will let you know if Japan . . . I don’t know . . . explodes in the next couple of days. I will be here to report on it for you.
But if you have somehow managed to miss all of those predictions, well, I am going to be putting together an informative editorial for an upcoming subscriber newsletter, specifically on some of these predictions of the end of the world and how they did or did not come to pass and what they really mean.
So, if you’re interested in that and you are not yet a Corbett Report paying subscribed member, why not think about it? I would invite you to go to corbettreport.com/members and become a member. Obviously, I need your support to continue doing this work. And, well, you get a subscriber newsletter out of the deal. Of course, the editorial will always be available for free on substack.com, if you’re interested. But at any rate, I would appreciate that support.
And you will be able to read all about these various end-of-the-world predictions that have swirled around in the independent media space for the past couple of decades. But, of course, the phenomenon of predicting the end of the world goes back much farther than that. Not just years, not just decades, not just centuries, but millennia.
I say that advisedly, because we can take that, for example, from a list like “List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events” from none other than the “bastion of truthiness,” Wikipedia.
It starts by noting that “Predictions of apocalyptic events that will result in the extinction of humanity, a collapse of civilization, or the destruction of the planet have been made since at least the beginning of the Common Era.”
They go on to provide that list of dozens and dozens and dozens—ultimately hundreds—of predictions that have been made about the end of the world, all the way from, well, this list starts in the year 66. They say “CE.” I’ll be old school and say “AD,” when the Jewish Essene sect of ascetics was predicting the arrival of the Messiah as a result of the Jewish uprising against the Romans in Judea in 66–70 AD.
From that point on, there’s been no shortage of predictions—some of them quite precise and mathematical about their prediction of the date and time of the end of the world.
For example, who could forget October 19, 1533, when Melchior Stifel, a mathematician, “calculated that Judgement Day would begin at 8:00 am on this day.” Mark it on your calendar, folks. Take it to the bank.
There are many, many, many more predictions that have been made since then, including the one that I started off talking today about: the Pope Sylvester II prediction that the 1st of January 1000 AD would mark the beginning of the “Millennium.” “As a result of that prediction, riots are said to have occurred in Europe and pilgrims headed east to Jerusalem . . . . Many historians, however, dispute that any of these events ever took place.”
And yes, if you do follow these footnotes back through to the source links of this information, like I did, you, too, will discover that, yeah, there’s very, very scant evidence that this prediction was ever made, that any riots ever took place, or that there was ever a mass panic around the year 1000.
But anyway, it certainly is in the zeitgeist, and it does refer back to even older predictions of doom. What is Millennium? What is this referring to? What is Millennialism? What does all of this go back to?
As you can see, there are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of such predictions that have been made. And I invite you to explore this list at your own leisure for the purpose of coming to a better understanding of the fact that, yes, this is not a one-off occurrence that happens now and then. This happens over and over and over. Someone comes along with a startling prediction, sometimes with a date and time on which Judgment Day will begin. The end of the world will take place.
And you know what? Throughout these thousands of years of predictions, every single one of them has been wrong, startlingly wrong, demonstrably false. And yet people continue to make these types of drastic predictions, and people still continue to listen to them.
Why is that? Why does this particular story of the end of all life, why does it have such resonance down from the beginnings of recorded history, all the way through to the present day.
Well, I think in order to better understand that question, we’re going to have to go to the granddaddy of all of these stories, the one that started it all, the one that coined the term “Armageddon” itself.
And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven from the throne, saying, “It is done.”
And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone above the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

Exciting stuff, isn’t it? And I can already hear all of the Corbett Report commenters out there salivating at the chops: “Oh my God, finally, we can have a religious flame war on topic for once and talk about whatever, biblical prophecy or whatever people want to talk about. And it will actually be related to what James is talking about for the first time.”
Imagine that! Well, that is precisely why, if you want to comment on this, you’ve got to go to corbettreport.com, because you cannot comment on any of the video-sharing platforms where I am posting this. So, Corbett Report members, please log in right now. Don’t even watch the episode. Just start having your religious flame war in peace. Yay!
But as I say, exciting stuff, isn’t it? And clearly, obviously, the type of thing that has led to many, many thousands of years of history of people talking about the end of the world and imagining how that will take place and looking for the signs that it is taking place, et cetera, et cetera.
Okay, alright, interesting. But what does this have to do with the New World Order and or the price of tea in China, James?
Well, let’s examine an interesting invocation of this Armageddon that came up recently in a conversation in the place you would least expect it. Because there is something about the nature of these types of predictions and the nature of the way that they will unfold as perhaps self-fulfilling prophecies that I have struggled to get across to the audience over the many years that I’ve been talking about such ideas and events. But it was recently raised in an intriguing way by none other than Peter Thiel.
ROSS DOUTHAT: There’s also a very macroscopic question that you’re interested in that, you know, will pull on the religion thread a little bit here. You have been giving talks recently about the concept of the Antichrist, which is a Christian concept, an apocalyptic concept. What does that mean to you? What is the Antichrist?
PETER THIEL: How much time do we have?
DOUTHAT: We’ve got as much time as you have to talk about the Antichrist.
THIEL: Alright. Well, I could talk about it for a long time. But, you know, I think there’s always a question, you know, how do we articulate, you know, some of these existential risks, some of the challenges we have. And they’re all framed in this sort of runaway dystopian science text. There’s a risk of nuclear war. There’s a risk of environmental disaster, maybe something specific like climate change, although there are lots of other ones we could come up with. There’s a risk of, you know, I don’t know, bioweapons, you have all the different sci-fi scenarios. Obviously, there are certain types of risks with AI.
But I always think that if we’re going to have this frame of talking about existential risks, perhaps we should also talk about the risk of another type of a bad singularity, which I would describe as the one world totalitarian state. Because I would say the political solution, the default political solution people have for all these existential risks is one world governance. You know, what do you do about nuclear weapons? We have a United Nations with real teeth that controls them. And they’re controlled by an international political order.
And then something like this is also, you know, what do we do about AI? And we need global compute governance. We need, you know, a one world government to control all the computers, log every single keystroke to make sure people don’t program, you know, a dangerous AI. And I’ve been wondering whether that’s sort of a, you know, going from, you know, the frying pan into the fire.
And so the atheist philosophical framing is One World or None. That was a short film that was put out by the Federation of American Scientists in the late ’40s [1946]. It starts with a nuclear bomb blowing up the world. And obviously you need a one world government to stop it: One World or None.
And the Christian framing, which in some ways is the same question, is: “Antichrist or Armageddon?” You have the one world state of the Antichrist, or we’re sleepwalking towards Armageddon. One World or None . . . “Antichrist or Armageddon?” on one level are the same question.
Now, I have a lot of thoughts on this topic, but sort of one question is, and this was a plot hole in all these Antichrist books people wrote: “How does the Antichrist take over the world?”
He gives these demonic, hypnotic speeches, and people just fall for it. And so it’s this plot hole. It’s this Daemonium Ex Machina.
DOUTHAT: It’s totally . . . it’s implausible.
THIEL: It’s a very implausible plot hole. Right. But I think we have an answer to this plot hole. The way the Antichrist would take over the world is you talk about Armageddon nonstop. You talk about existential risk nonstop. And this is what you need to regulate. It’s the opposite of the picture of Baconian science from the 17th, 18th century, where, you know, the Antichrist is like some evil tech genius, evil scientist who invents this machine to take over the world. People are way too scared for that.
In our world, the thing that has political resonance is the opposite. It is, it is, the thing that has political resonance is we need to stop science. We need to just say “stop” to this. And this is where, yeah, I don’t know, in the 17th century, I can imagine a Dr. Strangelove, Edward Teller-type person taking over the world. In our world, it’s far more likely to be Greta Thunberg.
DOUTHAT: Okay, I want to suggest a middle ground between those two options. It used to be that the reasonable fear of the Antichrist was a kind of wizard of technology. And now the reasonable fear is someone who promises to control technology, make it safe, and sort of usher in what, from your point of view, would be a kind of universal stagnation, right?
THIEL: Well, that’s more my description of how it would happen.
DOUTHAT: Right.
THIEL: So I think people still have a fear of a 17th century Antichrist. We’re still scared of Dr. Strangelove.
DOUTHAT: Right. But you’re saying the real Antichrist would play on that fear and say, “You must come with me to avoid Skynet, to avoid the Terminator, to avoid nuclear Armageddon.”
THIEL: Yes.

Intriguing stuff, but particularly intriguing because this is Peter Thiel who is saying this. You know Peter Thiel. Peter Thiel as in the founder of Palantir. The co-founder of PayPal. The first angel investor in Facebook. The billionaire who sits on the steering committee of the Bilderberg Group.
You know all about Peter Thiel because you have read my three-part series on “The Strange Story of Peter Thiel.” But if not, well, then I have some reading for you. And I will put the links to those three parts of “The Strange Story of Peter Thiel” in the show notes so you can explore them at your leisure: Part One, Part Two, Part Three.
But yes, that Peter Thiel is the one who is now talking about this Antichrist or Armageddon phenomenon and how it is being used to steer us towards world government and AI and all of this soupy mess of existential threats in which we are swimming. He is invoking them all. Very intriguing.
So I guess there are two questions that we can answer today. One, what precisely is Thiel saying here about Antichrist versus Armageddon? And two, why is he saying this?
Well, I have some thoughts on question number two, but let’s tackle question number one first.
I think his basic argument here can boil down into three steps.
Step #1: The public is so afraid of Armageddon, this coming apocalypse, that . . .
Step #2: they clamor for peace and security from . . .
Step #3: the Antichrist, who comes along to offer that security in the form of world government.
Alright, it’s a fairly simple one-, two-, three-step process that I think, as Thiel correctly points out, is underlying the psychology of—or at least playing on the psychology of—people who are obviously hardwired—biologically, psychologically, whatever the case—hardwired to look for threats and find ways to mitigate those threats. That is clearly how we have survived as a species as long as we have.
But also, I think our conception of Armageddon, as, again, Thiel correctly points out, has changed over the years—specifically over the decades.
The concept of a worldwide apocalyptic calamity—this great battle that will take place as the forces of the world line up at Armageddon—is something that has obviously captured people’s imagination for thousands of years.
But the real, palpable, feasible, thinkable, tangible, worldwide extinction-level event threat has really only been on the table since the splitting of the atom and the unleashing of the nuclear genie, to use the hyperbolic language of the 1950s “Atoms For Peace”-style propaganda reels.
Or should that be the 1940s propaganda reels? Because, yes, as Thiel—once again, I will note—correctly notes, it was literally the very year after the end of World War II, and of course, the spectacular events at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in 1946, that the Federation of . . . Atomic Scientists? Federation of American Scientists? They changed their name at some point.
Anyway, the FAS started warning about this Armageddon-type scenario and proposing the Antichrist of a world system of atomic control—that is to say, a world government of some sort, with some sort of teeth, presumably, to enforce that atomic control.
And they literally called this One World or None—as in, we will become one world or we will blow up the world, essentially, is what they were saying.
This particular screed took the form of both a book, which is freely available online. I’ll provide the link to the PDF and the archive.org versions, and you can read through it at your leisure. There are contributions from such luminaries as Niels Bohr and Robert Oppenheimer and Albert Einstein and Walter Lippmann and others [who were] talking about various aspects of this nuclear genie that was coming out of the bottle at that time.
But for our purposes today, perhaps this can most readily be digested in the form of the handy-dandy aforementioned 1940s propaganda reel, which is available and has been preserved by the Library of Congress and others in pristine, high-definition quality. So let’s just take a look at a clip from that 1946 propaganda reel on One World or None.
[Scary music (drums, gongs) is playing and loud bombs go off throughout the narration.]
NARRATOR: One atomic bomb did this to a city and its people. Even the most ruthless aggressors of the past had no such weapon.
A soldier of Alexander with one spear killed one.
Napoleon’s cannon in one firing killed twelve.
The Kaiser’s Big Bertha killed eighty-eight.
Hitler’s V2 killed one hundred sixty-eight.
Japan’s war against the United States ended after a B-29 dropped one atomic bomb that killed close to 100,000.
It is therefore an imperative necessity that all the nations of the world unite to avert catastrophe.
The United Nations must establish a worldwide control of atomic energy and of other weapons of mass destruction.
Representatives of the peoples of the world must together make laws which will abolish war, laws which will hold the individual in all lands responsible for crime against world peace.
Only through proper control of atomic energy can we answer the question how this great force may be used for the benefit of mankind. Atomic energy freed from the menace of war can be for all people of all nations. The great fusing force of one world.
The choice is clear: It is life or death.
SOURCE: One World or None
Can anyone out there confirm: Is that Peter Lorre narrating that particular propaganda reel? I don’t know who it is, but boy, am I stirred by that speech. Yes, we can create a one world government to protect us from the atom, or whatever.
Ridiculous, I suppose, in hindsight. But can we say, as ridiculous and ham-handed as that 1940s propaganda is, can we say that the propaganda of our age is totally different? Is it a difference in kind or merely a difference in degree?
At any rate, the nuclear apocalypse fears certainly did motivate people for many, many decades in the shadow of the atom bomb there in the 1940s, all the way through the Cold War and beyond.
I mean, again, we’ve seen the specter raised just recently with the whole Iranian nuclear program. What is all of this “Trump Bombs Iran” about? It is about the specter of the atom bomb, and we can’t let the Muslims get it, except the Pakistanis. Anyway, whatever, which we gave it to them. But hey, who looks? Don’t look into that history.
But of course, it’s only one of the cards in the deck of Armageddon, right? And as undoubtedly as an entire generation or generations of minds were shaped by that fear of all-out atomic war and the end of the world that way, there are a number of other existential threats to the planet that have arisen in recent decades to perhaps steal the thunder from the nuke apocalypse idea.
I mean, for example, of course, we’ve heard already the invocation of Greta Thunberg. Yes, the climate emergency. How dare you? How absolutely dare you not do everything about this looming threat to the planet! We’ve been hearing that for many decades, and I have certainly talked about the environmental movement and how it has been hijacked and used as one of these Armageddon threats that we are supposed to have this great climate anxiety about. People are not even having children because they think about the planet, et cetera, et cetera.
But that’s not the only one. Obviously, there’s the pandemic pandemonium. You thought COVID was something. Wait until you see Pandemic II—right, Bill Gates? . . . who continues to stump speech for that.
I still remember when he was writing about Pandemic 2 as if it were World War II—I.I. That was back a few years ago. But I just looked it up, and he’s still talking about it this year. The next one’s going to get us in the next four years, he says, as if he has an inside track on what bioweapons may or may not be in the offing.
But there you go. Even the concept and the threat of the bioweapons is another card in the deck of Judgment Day.
Or, hey, how about Judgment Day as in Terminator 2 Judgment Day. Of course, the AI takeover. Or think about what Judgment Day actually was in the Terminator franchise lore. It was, of course, a nuclear apocalypse that was unleashed by the AI that took over everything. A war games-type scenario, if you will.
Yes, perhaps, if there is a distinctly and exclusively 21st century type of concern for this “end of the world,” maybe it’s some sort of amalgamation of AI and nuclear apocalypse and war and drones and whatever else is keeping people up at night and willing, clamoring for the security of anti-crime . . . I mean, world government, right?
That’s the type of thing that people are perhaps? reasonably? question mark? worried about in this day and age—including people like, oh, I don’t know, Peter Thiel.
PETER THIEL: There are dimensions of AI that are, you know, potentially violent and very dangerous. And you don’t have to necessarily believe all these sort of weird pictures, where it’s this super intelligence that’s somehow completely disembodied and is going to kill every last human being on the planet. But there are natural ways to combine it with weapons technology that feel . . .
JORDAN PETERSON: Unsettling.
THIEL: Unsettling. Just a simple example is that, you know, we have this drone technology. That’s a new form of technology that’s come to the fore in the conflict between Russia and the Ukraine.
And you have a human in the loop, but the human can get jammed. And so the natural fix is to put AI on the drones and turn these into more autonomous weapon systems. And that’s . . .
PETERSON: Seems inevitable.
THIEL: That seems like the natural, logical thing to do. And then, even I, as a pro-tech person, have to say I find that somewhat unsettling.

Hold on a second. What did we just witness there? I mean, let me get this straight. Peter Thiel is unsettled by the concept of autonomous weapons systems? Let me . . . let me get this straight. This is Peter Thiel, the founder of Palantir, which—uh, let me check my notes—oh, that’s right, is partnering with companies like Anduril and other Thielversian minion companies to—let me check my notes again—create autonomous weapons in Ukraine and elsewhere. Alright. Okay. Cool.
Ahhhh. . . there’s something that doesn’t quite add up about that. I mean, that is a weird and long, roundabout way of calling yourself the Antichrist. But here we are! Peter Thiel is the Antichrist confirmed.
What is he saying? What is he saying exactly?
We should be concerned about the people who will play on the fear of Armageddon, because they will use it to impose their false order on the planet. But also, we should be concerned about the things that Peter Thiel is doing, although he speaks of it as if it’s a third-person thing that he’s not involved with, that will create the threat that will presumably be used to justify the . . . won’t somebody do [something] about it?
Okay. Anyway, as I say, kind of interesting that, I mean, what is this? Revelation of the method or something else entirely? I will . . . I will leave that for you to ponder.
And of course, please do leave your comments in the comment section at corbettreport.com. I’m interested to hear your thoughts on that particular pretzel knot that Thiel seems to have twisted himself into.
But nonetheless, I think there is something profound and important about the way these concepts are balling up: Antichrist or Armageddon, One World or None, is clearly a tool of psychological, manipulative, if not control, at least herding people towards a false solution, which can then be proffered as, “Hey, here is what you guys need.” I mean, this in some ways is, of course, the very, very well-known Problem–Reaction–Solution that I have discussed in many of its different aspects over the years.
But I think this touches on something that, as I say, I’ve attempted to articulate in the past. I don’t think people understand.
You have heard this before under the guise of if fascism comes to the shores of the United States, it’ll come dressed in the American flag, as in counteracting the old concerns of people that “Oh, well, you know, at least we’d know the Nazis if they dressed up as Nazis and marched on the streets.”
Well, okay, yes, but what if they cloaked themselves in the American flag? We’re talking about patriotism. It won’t look like the thing you expect it to look like, so you will not know to be wary of it.
And in the exact same way, I think when and if world government arrives on the scene, many of the people, even people I imagine who are in my own audience, will be clamoring for it by the time it gets here because it will be the thing that will save us from the existential threat. Or at least that’s the way it will be dangled out in front of people to get them to accept it. Create the threat to the world order that can only be addressed by everyone coming together under one banner, under Antichrist, under world government—however you want to frame it.
And I have seen this phenomenon playing out over and over and over again throughout my time, again, doing the work that I do.
Yes, people point out quite rightly about some of the very real worries and dangers of things like nuclear warfare or AI or bioweapons or genetic modification—or name your existential threat to the planet.
Sure, but the dot, dot, dot, the implied part of that, sometimes quite explicit, but sometimes implied, is that we need some strong ruler to come in and stop that—to stop that thing. We need some strong ruler to come in and say, no more of this thing.
It’s generally some sort of scientific process that’s going on anyway that will presumably continue to go on, no matter who steps in and says what.
[It] has been going on for decades or generations—like genetic modification technology, like the AI research that is going on apace at the moment.
Rulers might come in—rulers, would-be rulers of humanity—might come in to promise to save you from that thing.
I’m suspicious that that ever will happen. But even so—even if they do provide you the security from that thing—the implication of that is world government.
That is what actually Peter Thiel is quite rightly pointing out with regards to One World or None.
Yes: “Oh, we all must come together to constrain this atomic energy and use it for good purposes, not bad purposes. And how do we do that? We come together as one world in a one world control system, where there will be this watchdog of nuclear power.”
That sounds wonderful, but the devil as always is in the details.
How do we arrive at that point other than by subsuming our individual—let alone national—sovereignty into the world collective that will be ruled over by some benevolent person who just wants to protect us from nuclear annihilation, guys.
So, there are a number of things, lessons that can be learned from what we have teased out today.
One of which has to be: Stop devoting your entire existence and obsessing over the end of the world and the various end-of-the-world-type scenarios that are dangled in front of you, over and over.
In fact, in some ways, are they being trumpeted even by the independent media and elsewhere—being trumpeted and put in your face over and over and over? “The world is ending, the world is ending, the world is ending, the world is ending. . .”
. . . because inevitably that drives people into the arms of some Antichrist or other—as in some politician or someone promising to save you from that bad thing.
The more time we spend obsessing over the end of the world, the less time we spend building the world we actually want, spending our time and our energy—our limited resources on this planet, both in terms of the resources we have at our disposal, also the ultimate resource of time.
We end up spending all of that, obsessing over these existential threats that may or may not come in the future, rather than working together to build the world that we want.
Every second we spend worrying about the AI nuclear biochemical climate catastrophe apocalypse is our seconds we are not spending in actual productive time on this planet doing things that we want.
That is why “They, them, those”—whoever is in charge of this agenda or at the very least who just wants to assume power on the back of some scare story or other—never wants you to think about your power, your actual power in doing things in the real world.
They want you glued to the screen watching the next installment of “The End of the World” and obsessing about that.
The real rebels in the world are not the people who are glued to their screen and thinking of the 18 different ways that they’re under attack by the New World Order or whatever.
No, the real rebels are the people who are out there taking action in the real world, cooperating with others. The people who are tilling the soil in their community garden or starting some sort of local exchange trading system or out playing with their children or working a soup line at the local volunteer center—or whatever it is.
Those are the people who are actually the rebels in the system and who are not playing into the hands of those who want you glued to the screen, worrying about the next existential threat to humanity.
So, if the question is “Antichrist or Armageddon?” how about “No!”? How about “There’s a third way!”?
Activation. I don’t know. Pick another “A” word, but something along those lines.
Go outside. Touch grass. If you want to watch something, make it #SolutionsWatch. I don’t know. This is my humble suggestion.
Anyway . . . that’s what I think. Again, not that I am one to quote FDR on anything. But “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself” is a well-known phrase because it is very apt.
Yes, of course, there are things to worry about in this world, and there are threats that are looming on the horizon—some very large threats.
But our time is better spent actively building the world that we want rather than worrying about the world that we don’t want.
Prepare yourself, surely, for whatever you can prepare yourself for, for whatever is coming, in the ways that you can.
But don’t lose sight of the world around you, the people around you, the community that you are either contributing to and building up or letting go to rot because you’re too busy worrying about the nuclear apocalypse or what have you.
Anyway, those are my humble thoughts. I’m sure you have your own thoughts on these matters. And so have at it, folks. I’m sure there are already a couple of hundred comments in the religious flame war that I’m sure will take place in the comment section for this post.
If you go to corbettreport.com, you can leave your thoughts in the comment section. I’m looking forward to hearing them.
Let’s start examining the methods and madness of someone like Peter Thiel bringing this topic to the table and seemingly pointing at others when it seems like all his fingers are pointing back at himself.
That’s going to do it for our exploration here today. As I say, I will have more to say about some of these end-of-the-world predictions coming up in the subscriber newsletter at corbettreport.com. So stay tuned for that.
But in the meantime, and in between time, I am James Corbett, thanking you for investing your time in today’s exploration. Looking forward to talking to you again in the near future.
DAN DICKS OF PRESS FOR TRUTH ADDRESSING PETER THIEL: Mr. Thiel, do you have any comments about Palantir’s surveillance of the American people, sir?
Or any of your connections to Jeffrey Epstein? I think people are rather concerned about that last particular one.
You’re setting up a Big Brother surveillance system, and people know it, sir. Do you think the American people want this surveillance tech being used against them?
Any comments at all on the Epstein connections? You’re meeting with them.
People are waking up to what you’re doing there, sir. That’s why we’re here covering this.
DICKS ADDRESSING HIS PRESS FOR TRUTH AUDIENCE: Wow, Peter Thiel was bookin’ it! That man picked up the pace the second the word “Epstein” came out, it seemed. He started getting a little faster. But uh . . . Stone Cold Peter Thiel.
Of course, [he] co-founded Palantir with Alex Karp, who is still here. And these are the guys who are setting up the Big Brother surveillance system, essentially to track, trace, and database everyone.
Not just Americans. You may have heard me say that, but literally everyone. And that’s part of the reason why he is here. There is a lot of heavy tech representation here—and military men who are preparing for something.
So . . .
Peter Thiel in the house.

Nigga’, what you doin’ back on YouTube?
For me it was a gift CRM.
Recovering from 5 weeks in an ICU from pneumonia where the medical machine nearly killed me I’ve been watching a lot of youtube vids to rest and heal myself and no Internet activity but for email.
The real key to all of this James as you know from my 15+ years hanging out here is to talk of the Pachyderm in the room…Organized Religion aka The Male Dominated Church State.
You mused just how could people buy into the “end times” predictions so much…well, that is what propagandized people do. Embracing the nonsense of some “God” creating all that is you then buy the various prophets and mouthpieces as true representatives of this Myth and follow all the edicts/teachings/rules, etc. of the various expressions of this nonsense.
EVIDENCE leads to proof which is then a fact. There is NO evidence of god, Jesus, or satan beyond heartfelt personal testimony, philosophical musings, etc. all based on man made myths to steal sovereign spiritual expression to control humans out of fear. The persistence of a myth doesn’t make it true. Faith isn’t fact, only fact is fact. Therefore you can’t have an “anti-Christ” without one to begin with.
“You can’t convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it’s based on a deep-seated need to believe.”
– -Carl Sagan
In my song Demons and Redemption I address the psychological game of population control used by those in power (Churches, Governments, Big Business, etc.) Each presents some issue (Demon) Devils, Commies, etc. and Redemption at a cost so Parishioners, taxpayers, customers, etc. who must fork over money in a never ending dance of new demons, or new ways of redemption.
For those of us who didn’t buy all the God nonsense our lives have no religious fear, just the stupidity of the government and its stooges.

James, I’m going to quit my membership to the site and subscribe to you over on Substack. Surely you must know by know that the commenting on your ‘new’ website is funky af, what with the indentation and shiiiiit.
I told William Ramsey on X* that the Corbett Report/James is back on YouTube (he also quit that site). James, you should go on William’s program (William Ramsey Investigates). He’s a fellow traveller and only spends ~40 minutes or so with a guest, not 2 hours like other folks you’re ‘shadowbanning’ (like Greg Carlwood), because you don’t want to spend that much time with a content creator host.

Apparently you are choosing to stick with that sort of thinking, as if the human race should be punished, and it is your right, but Geeez,
Confirmation Bias:
People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary information
Unable to discuss any of the ideas/info I put out or my song, which you probably didn’t even listen to.

Glad you’re not dead- I was just wondering about you the other day.
Hope you’re back up to par quickly
Thanks.
I’m still on 24/7 Oxygen at home.
Compared to all the death and destruction going on in world it is small change. My youtube “video therapy” has resulted in discovering some amazing things about Trump, Israeli’s, the genocide on the Pals, the real reason Iran is so important regarding transportation in that area, etc.
Wrote song before getting sick “Not Much Is What It Seems” I am working on now.
Thought I would share a bit from my “video therapy”
As much as I can determine these folks are all very sober, fact sharing, not flag waving people trying to get the truth out. Surprises me how youtube is letting them talk about the Little Hat people??

They seem to not be caught up in Trump’s narcissistic, Israel loving nonsense. He even has as Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, who volunteered years ago to work for BB Netanyahu now controlling who gets to audience with him.
Seems the deal with Iran is about land and sea trade routes. China just completed a train network, sort of the new “Silk Road” for them. The liars at Fox News NEVER cover this stuff and even put down anyone or group who tries to help or expose the horrible genocide on the Palestinians where they are even getting murdered when they come to get food hand outs, etc.
Something I keep very clear in my mind is like with any country, pointing fingers at the name of the country does not mean its citizens but rather its government in power. But there will come a time for us I am sure when the people must stand up to the madness.
Those in control have been doing this for centuries and as the weapons of intrusion, mass destruction, etc. “improved” they have adapted from having a King and his Guard and Religious leader to what we have now.
For years I have shared that we are living in a hidden history. Just look at the Monuments, Palaces, etc. world wide that look so similar and ask how did those get built by horse and buggy cultures with no electricity, shipping outlets for supplies, moving tons of marble hundreds of miles, etc?
Wow, there’s a lot of butthurt in these comments.

Waffle, waffle, waffle. The first 7.45 minutes could be summed up in 10 seconds. Nothing like enjoying the sound of your own voice.
I know what you mean.
My buddy sat down to watch a 3-hour-long Godfather movie yesterday.
I told him he could just read the summary on Wikipedia in like 3 minutes.
He looked at me like I was retarded.
Mumbled something about value beyond lexical data, and some other human crap I couldn’t understand.
I’m not sure James would like his work compared to a fictional movie. I certainly don’t turn to James for art: I expect information. As video production becomes easier I regret that James is not the only independent journalist that thinks his job is to entertain. It is not about attention span or even redundancy, it’s a question of efficiency.
Hear, hear!
Only AI-summarized articles from now on!
Tell Broc to get a real job.
You’re the only one who gets me jerquix.
Well thank you for your support. I’m glad to see that not everyone here is a cretinous lunatic so embedded in the cult that they cannot endure a contrary opinion without the need to make childish, sarcastic comments. Oh wait..
I’m not sure if you are new here, but you are welcome to browse James’ almost 20 years worth of videos and see he hasn’t changed his video essay presentation style to copy the thousands of now content creators. The are millions of 3-5 min videos that read headlines on every video sharing platform, that you are welcome to go consume.
I’ve been a Corbett Report subscriber for some years, but thank you for welcoming me and kindly making James’s library available to me.
I find the group identity mentality exhibited by the commentators on my contribution slightly amusing but at the same time quite chilling.
I just expressed an opinion. No roofs have fallen in. No explosions have occurred. No one is dead.
I’m sure James is reassured by the encirclement and defence afforded by his acolytes and devotees, but I assure you he is in a safe space.
Jrquix
“…..I find the group identity mentality exhibited by the commentators on my contribution slightly amusing but at the same time quite chillin…..”
Well, while I do think your comments were very rude, in that they were whining about presentation rather then content
, I can’t argue with you that there is a mindset in the audience.
But that’s prey normal, the internet tends to silo people into the kind of thinking that they like. Rather like how a street with food outlets will have certain types of people in certain stores. Then add in the para social aspect and people want to “tribe” with their net buddies.
I don’t know why you’d find that chilling thought, unless your here to make friends (an IRL activity tbh) since it’s fun to argue points and POVs so you can strengthen your self
It’s chilling because it exposes a lack of original thought and critical thinking typical of a cult. I have to wonder how these people react in the real world when their opinion (or their hero) is challenged.
Actually I was “whining” about lack of content. I was thoroughly disappointed and frustrated that in 25 minutes only one, in my opinion, very weak arguement was made. And it was made repeatedly. I have come to expect better from James Corbett.
I respect your characterisation. I choose not to soft-soap my opinions and don’t expect to make friends. I consider my perspective to be accurate, but whilst I don’t set out to cause upset, whether it is considered rude is not a matter, or a particular concern, for me.
Frankly I would have thought it best if people disagreed with me to challenge my opinion or ignore me, rather than make childish comments.
Jrquix
As to how people will react I would point out that many misled and even frankly delusional people have had great IRL success- from the Mormons to the tech bros. The price normally ends up getting paid a little down the line.
For example G here has some VERY useful skills, even though he is IMO blinded by ideology and cultural programming. That doesn’t mean his work is of no value and I’d never want to suggest that to him or others.
I have not put my opinion oin the broadcast up, I think I need to listen again TBH, but the thing is that Mr Corbett is a real person, and thus has to be taken as having blind spots and faults, and any criticism should be of his ideas not his presentation IMO. At the end of the day, as a real person, he will put up opinions and ideas that are interesting to HIM….us viewers are just here for the ride.its gracious that he puts up so much free stuff.
My criticism of your posts is that it’s kinda JUST rude (I’m pretty rude even IRL but always try to offer an alternative view rather then just say “meh, crap”)
If you were pointing out where he was wrong I’d not see it that way- even though some folks think I am “just negative “ (or SO DUMB to coin an acronym) I try to make a point and I don’t think your initial posts did that.
If it’s just that it’s boring “to you” then it’s not a valid criticism IMO, like I said Mr Hancock triggers people for some reason but IMO the net is like a smorgasbord where we can graze a wide variety of knowledge and pass on stuff thats not to our personal taste.
As to cult like behavior in(kinda) agree that libertarians and anarchists and conspiracy types tend to fall into their slots like coins in a sorting machine- but thats human nature since IRL people are just the same. It’s just peoples nature
I make a point to listen sometimes to disgusting commies and Transhumanists, back when they were relevant I even listened to the New Atheists, because exposing yourself to alt ideas is import. But I don’t expect that I’m going to wake a commie or Transhumanist up 99% of the time because they think what they think because their possessed by an ideology not because they thought about it
Duck
I did say that I found the content weak, although it seems to me equally valid to critique the presentation. My boredom stemmed from the lack of stimulating ideas. That is content in my opinion.
Of course one always has the option to move on if either are not to one’s taste, but then the opportunity for change or rebuttal is lost.
Ideas do seem to capture one’s imagination, then turn into beliefs that capture others.
👍
Clearly some new – or other – “listeners” have come by….
Probably as “sexy” as Thiel
Leave them dear Irish – they’re not worth your thoughts or words…
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and, stay strong/sane 🤗☘️
User jrquix has nothing interesting to post.
@Paul
Agree. Wish we had up and down voting ability here.
@ejdoyle
Why? Do you need backup for your comment? Are in need of validation? Do you crave a mob to join so you can bully anyone with a contrary opinion? Here’s my opinion: your comment exposes a weak, cowardly, pathetic mindset.
@jrquix
Because some people just aren’t worth the effort or work that goes into responding.
@Ejdoyle
👍
And why hasn’t Brock got your on X if you’re back on ‘GooTube’? Is it your antagonism for Elon Musk? It’s not like YouTube is any better in that regard… If your goal is Reconquista and reaching followers, why not use the largest social media platform out there to get your messaging across?…
At least we can all be glad Susan Wojcicki’s son Marco died/killed himself by drug overdose – probably because his mom was a substandard whackjob parent, not to mention a gatekeeping bitch.
Well, now replies to comments are getting sent down somewhere further in the comment page. I’m not sure if you’d call that a ‘fix’.
Happy belated Canada Day (July 1), James, you mad Canuck hoser.
At 25 minutes I give up. I’ve heard nothing that isn’t obvious and intellectually pedestrian. It’s possible that in the remaining 17 minutes Corbett might make an interesting point, but on the evidence so far I have to doubt that. James, you gotta do better than this.
Rude.
Honest
Jrquix
You could just get an AI summary if your in a hurry 😉
lol
No one writes things that interest us all the time. As quick as my pet obsessions change I just change the podcast, though thats probably not good for my brain TBH
I’m deeply interested in the subject matter, but I was hoping for a new and interesting perspective. Why else would I turn to James Corbett?
Jrquix
I come here for the same reason, and I don’t agree with Mr Corbett on some things, but you saying “waffle waffle” raises the question of what interesting podcasts you have made for us?
If you want concise and to the point news try “the wire” by “S2 the underground “
If your a better raconteur and have the info go ahead and make it.
“saying “waffle waffle” raises the question of what interesting podcasts you have made for us?”
No it doesn’t! What utterly ridiculous logic.
I don’t like Jambo’s ice cream but for me to say so does not mean I should be able make a better one.
I can’t play the piano but I do have an opinion on the relative merits of the Ashkenazi and Horowitz performances of Beethoven’s 4th.
You don’t like my criticism of this podcast but saying so raises the question of what erudite condemnation of it you have.
Well? I’m waiting.
I just posted my commentary on your comment above.
To recap you were not really complaining about the content being wrong, just that
A) it was boring to you (so change the channel)
B) the presentation was bad (again change the channel)
It’s like when people complain about Mr Hancock being a boomer when he talks with Mr Corbett- clearly Mr Corbett likes talk into him and if you wanna skip that show you can.
Anyway….im waiting for the religious flame war
You don’t like Jambo’s ice cream yet you keep buying it and camp in front of his ice cream truck to tell everyone you don’t like his ice cream and then tell people that they’re in a cult if they contradict you. Where do you find the time to make the money to buy that ice cream in the first place?
👍
I am sure you are doing a far better job than James at spreading truth and bringing important issues to others. No? STFU. 🙂
ChrisB73, By your asinine logic no one could critique anything they didn’t excel at themselves.
ChrisB73 🤗
Congratulations on getting 25 mins into the video before quitting, and then spending the time to grace the comments section with your staggeringly magnificent intellect to offer James Corbett some insight on how to make video essays. We, the Corbett Report Audience, will be waiting in elated anticipation for the release of your superior video essay on the subject, that will only take 3-5 fives mins.
For goodness sake you might at least try to be original. See my reply to Chris B73.
Iris 🤗
@ jrquix
Maybe you have a short attention span. Guppy in a previous life?
You got me. Truth is the river was running so fast that I lost the energy after 25 minutes to stay by the PC and just got washed away in the current. Someday someone will come up with a mobile phone for rainbow trout and my problems will all be over.
So does the 2nd coming mean apocalypse is nigh?
Jesus “came” already in 70AD in judgement on the unbelieving Jews through the Roman army. All references to his “coming” point to something that would happen soon (see Revelation 1:1 — “things that must shortly come to pass”, and Revelation 1:7 — “they also who pierced him” would see his return. Revelation 22:20 — “Surely I come quickly”. Not after 2,000 years). The false interpretations of Dispensationalism have turned scripture on its head to make all these things predictions of the future.
I predict the end of the world each time I call up some customer service place.
In all seriousness, there could be a couple reasons people predict the end of the world that I can think of that aren’t obvious.
Some people just need to consider things as finite. If things go on without end, they can’t comprehend it. There needs to be a start point and an end point.
For some others? Well, we’re all gonna die. Maybe, in their mind, it’s a way of not dying alone. “Hey, we’re all gonna meet our end in fire and brimstone together!”
One reason to focus on the End Times is because you can use it as an excuse not to bother doing anything…..everyone who has ever lived HAD their own personal End Times the day they dropped dead. You don’t get a do over.
It’s the same cope with Q tards waiting for “the plan” to fix stuff as with people who keep saying how super powerful the oligarchs are because there is a certain amount of comfort and cope in being able to sit back because “you can’t do anything “ and “its game over man” BOTH give people an excuse to do nothing.
Im partial to the idea that our species have been trough some cataclysmic events and that’s why the motif of the world “ending” is such a recurring theme in our mythology and newer stories, and gripping our imagination.
And I agree that our energy is much better spent on the real world rather than all the things the demagogues in power try to whip us up about.
@FreeSi
“our species have been trough some cataclysmic events and that’s why the motif of the world “ending” is such a recurring theme in our mythology”
Always nice to see that some folks have been paying attention to what came before.
The world is built upon the ruins of past civilizations. Entire mountain ranges have fallen into the ocean, while others have arisen from the depths to cast new shadows. Entire species appear and disappear. Poles have shifted, and reverted back. The history of Earth is a history of extinction and rebirth.
This is the default position. We’ve enjoyed fairly smooth sailing, as far as global catastrophes go, for an abnormally long period of time. Any student of probability and statistics is free to get out the ole notepad…
Musk also warns about the very technology that he promotes. The one real threat it is likely we face is the magnetic pole reversal that is happening apace. Few talk about it and certainly not the likes of Thiel because its not something they can control. Truthers,like yourself don’t examine this issue for the reason you state, that we should just get on and live our lives the best we can. Which is all we can do in the face of threats real or concocted. If you are a billionaire like Bezos you dig a bunker in a valley somewhere.
@mfr
Magnetic pole reversal? Never heard of it, please explain!
Funny thing is the earliest fiction I know of on the rise of the Antichrist was “lord of the world “ in 1907 and while a bit off it accurately predicted a lot of the SOCIAL state of modern society……I guess people could extrapolate where the trends were heading, CS Lewis sure did in Abolishion of man.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_of_the_World
My dad recommended that book to me and although I have a copy I never got around to reading it. I do remember him telling me a little of the plot about how people kind of start worshipping humanist relationships instead of God. Reminds me a little of people like Yuval Noah Harari saying people will start worshiping AIs in the near future.
Ancap
I like audio books and just listened to it. If your a busy person you might like this free audio. It’s reasonably entertaining as a novel.
https://librivox.org/lord-of-the-world-by-robert-hugh-benson/
The readers change out ,and some are better then others, but most are OK….it was kinda on point (in a retro futurist way) with the euthanasia and some of the social stuff.
I would expect the Anti-Christ to be a bit charismatic. Thiel sounds too stupid for that. He cannot even put two words together and manage to speak. I just remembered the most famous speech of his: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1asavnl_o8
If he indeed is the Anti-Christ to “end the world as we know it”, then I’d argue the total IQ of humanity is below 10 now.
I grew up in constant fear of the end of the world, partly because my Mom was involved with a doomsday cult (the Jehovah’s Witnesses) and they would come over and give me a personal, one-on-one “Bible study” and tell me Armageddon was just around the corner, and that my Dad was certainly going to die because he wasn’t Baptized and wasn’t a JW. They just pumped me full of fear, every week. Somehow, I was able to reject all their teachings.
I think Corbett gave us a great video, here. We should relax, some, and go outside. We should be interacting with our neighbors and playing with our children.
We *should* focus on the people around us and make plans for our own futures.
in the spirit of having a religious flame:
My best friends are Jehovah Witnesses, do you say MY FRIENDS, are BAD people? How dare you!
In all seriousness if all they talked abut how I’m going to die and all, they wouldn’t be my friends.
Actually, a lot of my friends are ex-witnesses.
All the kids got out, which I’m happy for that fact.
Yuri
“….In all seriousness if all they talked abut how I’m going to die and all, they wouldn’t be my friends….”
In the name of the apocalyptic flame war (the culmination will be when then lord of the website locks down comments) I’d point out that they may not SAY it but they surely are THINKING it.
I used to hang out with some JWs and they’re nice enough as people but their theology is almost as jank as Mormons.
It’s worse, in my opinion. At least the Mormons do Baptisms for the Dead (every person (at least in America) who dies, gets a Mormon baptism)
The JWs completely write off everyone who isn’t an active member of the JW organization. Even going as far as shunning family members who live in the same house, who reject their beliefs. They’re as abusive as the Church of Scientology. They’re also really fond of slave labor, just like the Scientologists. They’re also really into Real Estate. They hoard it. They build compounds and hold people hostage, like the Scientologists.
They keep people terrified and use that terror to exploit and manipulate.
In my opinion, it’s wise to avoid “high-control groups,” of all stripes.
When in doubt, consult the BITE Model
https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model-pdf-download/
True, they have gone even more wonky these last ten years, but they were always jank theologically tbh- and founded by a fraudster to boot.
That said I am sure that there are plenty of real Christian’s stuck there waiting to be freed from the Philoy that took them captive
I was a Witness for about 20 years. It’s a cult now. They’ve been involved in protecting pedophiles, joining the “image of the wild beast” and forcing the magic sauce on their followers, just recently.
Christ said to keep on the watch, not stay scared out of your wits. Doomsurfing won’t get you anywhere or help you in any way. Since leaving and studying the Bible on my own I’ve learned a lot and continue to learn how very hypocritical and evil they’ve become, among other things.
I’m glad you got out
Kirm
It was always a cult TBH, but I will say that , while misled , I met real Christian’s when I was talking to those guys.
My nutter brother still hangs out with them, and TBH I hope they get points for put up with his craziness, which they do.
Kirm – exactly and, somehow it seems to be, not just JW but all our self proclaimed “holy'” subjects….
Could this have to do with the “holy” Europeans meeting about all our “illnesses” which they held in Basel, Switzerland back in 2018 – by “coincidence” I’m sure, not that many Months before a certain plandemic should have killed us all!?
Let’s just give them a huge “amen” on their way to new galaxies, shall we!?
I’m sure other planets are available for them all – far away planets that is…
.
Don’t you know James? Peter Thiel just making sure those automounts weapons aren’t used for evil! He’s a good guy that’s very concerned about wrong people having access to this technology so he’s making sure it’s in the “right” (his) hands.
(it’s sarcasm btw)
The nuke story is questionable, just another pack of lies. Big nuclear bombs don’t actually work.
Japan was firebombed – with a dusting of radioactive material maybe. Flight logs also reveal this.
Shadows were painted.
The emperor got an honourable surrender.
Any big explosion can make a mushroom cloud.
Many of the videos of ‘atomic tests’ were models.
Stories of aliens over nuclear facilities promotes both stories.
Question everything friends
But of course the apollo missions put men on the moon 🙂
Do you even scientific method, bro?
Chon
While I do believe nukes are real your bang on with how much they faked the effects……the fire bombing killed more people and the nuke was hyped as being somehow beyond imagination when it’s just a faster way to deliver
What about the information that Ben Davidson from SpaceWeatherNews is sharing on: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTiL1q9YbrVam5nP2xzFTWQ
I like that there are data and facts presented and you can come to your own conclusion.
And what’s with the research of Peter Mungo Jupp and Ev Cochrane about ancient myth telling a desaster story?
What do you guys think about their statements about a possible desaster cycle?
@oliver
You’re speaking my language. I’ve been an 0bserver for 15 years, and have been studying comparative mythology and catastrophism (among other things) for even longer.
These conversations don’t seem to be taken seriously among this audience, but there do seem to be a few of us sprinkled in amongst the incrementalists.
I started an encrypted chat room for off topic conversations like this, so I’ll post it again:
https://matrix.to/#/#corbettofftopic:matrix.org
*this is completely unaffiliated with Mr Corbett, as I’ve made clear in the initial post there*
Hi MR and thank you for your kind reply = )
I am wondering for a while what would be wrong with or if the evidence is too thin for the catastrophy cycle to not get more talked about in serious alternative media.
Thank you for the matrix link. I unfortunately can’t join though getting this error:
MatrixError: [403] You are not invited to this room. (https://matrix-client.matrix.org/_matrix/client/v3/join/%23corbettofftopic%3Amatrix.org?server_name=matrix.org&via=matrix.org)
Are there more corbetteers in the matrix chat? Because I am really interested in how the corbett crowd responds to this.
Hmmmm…..
The room was set up using the Element app
https://element.io/
Matrix is just that, a matrix of privacy protocols, apps, servers, etc. Element is one of the apps that provides access, but there are others.
https://matrix.org/
If it wasn’t such a great privacy messaging and meeting option, I would never suggest anyone download an app just to chat.
If someone prefers Nostr, Wire, Briar, or another legit privacy based route, I’m open to that, but places like Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp, etc – those are no fly zones for this Pterodactyl.
And, to your question, you would be the first from this group to take up the invitation to take side chats elsewhere.
In my opinion, there are many reasons why this topic is rarely discussed in the media, whether alternative or mainstream. I’ll list a few, without assigning to either alt or MSM:
1) It cannot be controlled by man, it’s coming and we will just have to deal.
2) It gives a sense of historical importance and veracity to not only one religion’s textual traditions, but to nearly all of them.
3) Disclosure, if wisely done, could redirect nearly ALL of mankind’s time, attention and energy toward preparing for the shift.
4) Disclosure, if cleverly done, could redirect nearly ALL of mankind’s time, attention and energy toward freaking out and destroying themselves and one another. Timing is key.
5) ALL of the (modern) textbooks would have to be rewritten. Likewise, a lot of very arrogant bastards would have to eat humble pie, and say the three magic words.
6) It’s not “our fault,” unlike the fake “anthropogenic climate change” model, the fake impetus for the SDG, ESG, carbon tax, environmental martial law paradigm.
7) Very few people have the courage and fortitude to see things as they are, particularly when this is the conclusion. It’s one of the easiest things to ridicule (as James seems to be fond of doing), for this very reason. The “hero” is the naysayer – the one who keeps all that data and logic from infesting the minds of the simple, and keeps normalcy bias upon its glorious throne. The villains (and, apparently, the fools deserving of scorn and ridicule) are those who present the data and encourage people to investigate further.
There are many others, and variations for each demographic, but I’d say the most obvious, the most important, and the least understood is this:
8) “THEY” want us to remain ignorant, and continue to give away our humanity and sovereignty. They seem to “feed” off of our negativity and atrophy. Plus, the more we conform to their programming, the less likely we are to survive in large numbers or with the skills, knowledge, strength, and vision to compete with them on the other side. We are the many, now. As they retreat or step out, and let the cataclysms unfold, they expect us to perish, and for the survivors to revert to full on “primitives” before they reemerge – so that they can be called “gods,” as is always the case, time after time.
@oliver
I changed the room settings so that an invitation is not required, but access is still limited to those who already have an account in one of the Matrix affiliated platforms.

Hello James I generally enjoy all your talks but your take on this really made me sad. I realize you are not a follower of Christ but I do wish you were not so condescending to those of us who put their complete eternity in the hands of a God we believe wrote the Bible. I just have this to say to that. 2 Peter 3:4 Context
1This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 2That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: 3Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
@tjc201
Just for context, in this very recent interview, Mr Corbett does very clearly say that he was raised in a Protestant household, and sees the world through that lens.
I don’t know the exact time, but it’s towards the end of the interview. Perhaps find a transcript, and search for the word “Protestant.”

Where the disconnect is, I leave that for each to contemplate. But the disconnect is vast, indeed.
Even a very light examination shows “God wrote the Bible” is 100% false and that the bible is full of contradictions and impossible stories such as the Flood. You don’t need a bizarre beliefe in Bible inerrancy or divine authorship to be religious or to have a soundly grounded life. You can’t build on such sand.
Sjat
“…..100% false and that the bible is full of contradictions and impossible stories such as the Flo……”
I used to thank that too, but when you actually look into it there are no contradictions as such, just different points being made.
As ti the Flood? It’s totally physically possible to flood the entire surface of the earth with the amount of water locked up in the crust. Honestly even if you don’t believe the Bible Catastrophism is a pretty viable way to look at the earths history
Absolutely. Exit stage left. Build the architecture that will allow us to sidestep the digital control of our lives. There is no question the system is set up to “streamline” society into those who “get it” and the ones that will go like the dinosaur. Anyone who worked in a tech related field like government saw their jobs slowly eroded by the advent of AI, streamlining and apps, that took the human factor of empathy and understanding and replaced it with the sociopathic one way of streamlining for profit and reducing the need for humans. We all knowingly participated in training our replacement thinking that simplifying our life was somehow making things better. I remember hearing that it only takes a relative few to lead a movement into a new way. The backbone of society is family and avoiding the threats to that cohesion. Pardon me for waxing religious, but everything Jesus was recording as saying works in the favor of liberationists from tech slavery to bring us back to tending the garden of life and unbiased love. What if there is a war in heaven between the ones who trust an intelligent universe able to gift us with the necessary knowledge to sustain ourselves in a peaceful way. Forgiving and forgetting. Not holding grudges that last 2000 years. The talmud says Jesus is boiling in excrement in hell for the miracles he performed, and for renting the veil in the temple that hides hierarchy and mystery cult that sustains it. Rather than eschewing religion, the bulwark of ethics and morals, we peel away the Frankists who embrace immorality in everything aspect that gives them the advantage to form banks that run drug trade and child prostitution, the cia/mossad, and blackmailed politicians. We can only imagine what they have on lindsey graham, but I’m guessing it is something really bad involving a child’s demise. Truth, as you and Whitney Webb present, will slough off the dead skin of society and make us aware that living like ants dedicated to survival is not a bad way to live. Instead of pyramid [schemes], give us great waterworks and hands on farming that will slowly erase this chemical soup we are cooking in. Thank you James Corbett.
It does, it seems to me, take wilful ignorance not to recognise the trajectory of mankind. I got bored after the first 25 minutes but until then it seemed that James’s entire reasoning relied upon the notion that, despite many predictions that the reservoir is about to run dry, the river still flows, thus it will always flow.
When the river finally stops flowing it will be not because of any insightful prophecy or the scoffing of the spiritually blind, but because the rain no longer falls.
It is clear for those with eyes to see that the current convergence of mankind’s efforts in very many respects – social, political, scientific, environmental, economic, intellectual, spiritual – lead to only one conclusion: a catastrophe resulting from a drought of ideas, motivation, integrity, conscience, humility and love. Again, for those with eyes to see, the Bible doesn’t predict it, it dictates it. And all those people of the past, who made the same observation, were not wrong; just a bit early.
I don’t need fear to make that statement, just 20/20 vision.
Jrquix
True, the river does run dry but that’s a normal civilizational cycle. The cycle comes around again and again.
Mr Corbett has said that the danger is that tech can now change the rules of the game and make people into products instead of humans via gene editing and new tech. I agree that is something that should be resisted although I am pretty sure the apocalypse cycle will end (one day) with the ACTUAL revealing.
But it’s in no way sure thats THIS time around, we’ve suffered civilization decay many times in the past and I really don’t think the tech is there (yet) ti get everyone
Duck
I suppose it depends on what you mean by “this time around”. I am careful not to predict any particular timescale and I don’t know how long the current paradigm can continue. However, I find it difficult to believe that the current situation can be substantially turned around or reset such that we have another “golden period”. It seems to me that technology, pollution, the economy, massive inequality, AI, the hegemonic war and other risks have set us on a trajectory toward irreversible total destruction in a manner that no other period of human existence could have experienced.
Humans have suffered a lot of near extinction events….this could be a new high point but IMO a the new tech is super fragile and won’t last past a hiccup in the power grid.

The thing about non-engineered cataclysmic events is that they often come by surprise. Perhaps surprising because the majority of people are so afraid of their inevitable demise, that they simply won’t face the facts. (Link below.)
I don’t believe in an ‘end of the world’ in the sense that all life will be wiped off the face of the planet. I have a firm belief, based on ideas like panspermia and others, that ‘life always finds a way.’ Like the sprig of green that pushes through a concrete sidewalk, I often speculate whether there’s, at the very least, “small life” on all the planets in our solar system. Do I picture an oncoming ‘end of the world?’ Given the signs all around us, signs like, the racing magnetic pole, solar upheavals in the current era, the destruction of our cloud layer (see: Dane Wigington) via stratospheric aerosol injections, bee and other die-offs, etc. I see something doomful in our future, for sure. Will it be the end of the world? I doubt that. I have firm faith that life does indeed find a way. It’s clear to me that there is a ‘reset’ coming and not the kind the WEF speaks of, but instead, an organic change is occurring all over this planet.

I believe that death is a return to nothingness, forever. This fact is what makes my life valuable. If death didn’t exist, I would have forever to do whatever. That would remove time limits and I would not be inspired to do anything, to be alive.
It is death that gives value to life. I get to decide what to spend my precious minutes on, to choose a meaning.
As my time runs out, the remainder gains value. When I first tried to understand dying, it was incomprehensible. I had lived so little, so short a life, comparing that to all the years I could have left, was not imaginable. Now, with the end possible any minute, I have perspective that increases my respect for life. Life goes by quicker and quicker, but grows in value.
Just because you believe death is the end does not make it so.
People can believe ten impossible things before breakfast. Belief in God is a CHOICE, when you choose not to hey you see no evidence for Him , when you choose TO believe you see MASSES of evidence for Him being real.
The philosophy of death being the end can as easily lead to thinking that makes life important as to nilhism and asking the illuminism question of two skulls “who is the king , who is the beggar ?”
You are obviously a true believer.
One hallmark of intelligence and integrity is the ability to say, ” I don’t know”.
This is not done more often, because it only comes when we open the parameters of what our mind can handle. Not too popular. Paradigms and narratives become chains, after a short period.
(I actually posted my only objection, to Mr. Corbett himself, on a closely related point. A while back he was wishing for a catchy narrative for us to gather around, to counter the lying mainstream ones. I didn’t think that was a viable goal).
Deep philosophy is more questions than answers. What is me?
This bag of bones, that is really a pattern, where cells and their contents are almost completely replaced and recycled every few weeks? My Ego? My brain? My species? etc., etc. What is worth defending? etc., etc.
And let’s not forget, “What is a woman”? Ha ha
Hankey
“…..You are obviously a true believer….”
Thank you- nothing has ever been achieved by a person who lacks belief.
“….One hallmark of intelligence and integrity is the ability to say, ” I don’t know”….”
Yes, that’s true.
However as I wrote above belief is a choice everyone makes…..no one, except a non functioning autist, actually goes thru life questioning “everything”
Questions and assumptions – ‘is China real?’ ‘Is it ok to mug people?’ And ‘is the universe 4 billion years old?’ Are both questions that we all take answers from others on (unless we go to China or reinvent ethics and astrophysics for ourselves)
It’s a choice to believe the official 9/11 narrative and “msm” or Alex jones or Mr Corbett or anyone else…how many people here have gone thru every bit of research for themselves? None.
We choose what sources we trust more then others….and as a bit as f a science nerd when I was younger it was pretty easy to realize that a lot of what we are told about radiometic dating and genetics is basically unknowable. Thus it is actually pretty easy to jettison evolution as a worldview if you’ve read enough about it to see that and find a better explanation.
But most people, just like a normie on 9/11, will trust their programming
Hello Duck,
The word Belief probably needs a restricted definition in this context.
One angle, that I think is relevant, has to do with flexibility and capacity, as well as strength of the mind.
We need paradigms to function and base our learning on. The better the source experiences and info, coupled with the better the mind, the better the paradigms that can result. The key is to not be too deeply attached to a paradigm, so we are not hobbled by confirmation bias, etc. This is tricky, as the emotions and ego are involved, and we all want to think that we have a refined mind, which can rise above irrational motivations.
My snark came out when I answered the classic atheistic stance, being parroted by a ‘True Believer.’ He doesn’t know that he doesn’t know. (I feel the same way towards Bible thumpers, but they embrace the label. The irony is so rich when atheists spout dogmatism, I can’t pass up a little sarcastic indulgence.
Hankey
Oops, sorry the comments looked like it was to me.
Sorry about that! 🙁
“…..The key is to not be too deeply attached to a paradigm, so we are not hobbled by confirmation bias, etc. This is tricky, as the emotions and ego are involved, and we all want to think that we have a refined mind, which can rise above irrational motivation…..”
I agree with you in this – I can’t recall the book properly (I think it was “righteous Mind” by Haidt ) where they liken humans to a rider on an elephant (their emotions) which goes where it feels like while the rider (out intellect) just makes up reasons for why we did it.
I really do think it’s painful for some people to reorder their world view though- physically painful in that it makes us anxious and stressed.
That’s why I don’t think most people will ever “wake up” or do anything except think what they’re told to think. All the subcultures and “rebels” are just variations of programming, which is a thought I found quite disturbing.
Duck,
You agreed with me on something!! Hooray, I better retire now, while I am ahead.
That elephant and rider thing was Haidt. It is
something that I now recall hearing years ago. It explains a lot about our difficulty in communicating on contentious issues. I think it must have helped me crystalize this thought in my mind.
I am no longer quite as disturbed by this trumping of our reason by these unconscious reflexes. Am I the boiled frog? It is just our environment in this time and place. My only solace is in the idea that the mysteries of healing will bless our race. My only religious belief is that Truth is better than lies.
Hankey
“….I am no longer quite as disturbed by this trumping of our reason by these unconscious reflexes. Am I the boiled frog?….”
Why rage against the weather? 🙂
Human nature is what it is and the most dangerous people are always the ones who try to change it into something else.
“… It is just our environment in this time and place….”
Should have quit when we were agreeing, lol. I think that human nature is mostly unchanging, which is a good thing and a bad thing. On the one hand it means that we are stuck going thru the same cycles of history but in the other the fact that deforming human nature is like bending a spring (it takes work and bounces back when you stop holding it) means that things can only get “so” bad before nature reasserts itself.
“….My only religious belief is that Truth is better than lies….”
I agree with you on that- but it really IS a religious belief in the sense that it can’t stand Except as an axiom. You can’t convincingly argue that one thing is “better” then another thing unless you have an external standard.
That was one of the most ridiculous things about the “New Atheists” (esp Sam Harris) when they tried to argue about things being moral or immoral when they removed the external basis of making such a call and were just left with “preferences”. Interestingly I think this kind of sloppy thinking may be more normal now , when i discussed “abolition of man” with some people the majority really couldn’t grasp that concept , of how you can’t argue better or worse without an axiomatic choice. I don’t know if that’s normal for most people always or if it’s a new thing, TBH. How would I find out? Most people have always been controlled by social programming so I don’t know how I’d tell. 🙁
What do you think? Do you think our current society has made people less philosophically consistent? Seriously asking
“….My only religious belief is that Truth is better than lies….”
Yes, that is why I say that it is a RELIGIOUS belief, I cannot prove it. In the short term, the opposite often seems true. I am fullwell aware of the irony in me making that statement. But, like you said, you gotta believe in something… But, at least it is not 5,000 pages long, and I haven’t seen much contradicting evidence in the long term, and the big societal pictures as well.
BTW I have noticed that all religions appeal to the authority of truth, but all truth does not appeal to the authority of any religion.
So I am just telling you how I have been organizing my mind with this for 76 years. It is ultimately unprovable, as any self-respecting religious tenet is. But I see nothing that makes me change that position, although I try to always have an open and flexible mind. Nobody has come and told me that lies are better than truth, but I have met several wealthy liars in my career. But even they can’t bring themselves to say it; they know it harms societies and families.
Hanky,
That’s nicely said. A real true ism.
While reading you, strong memory creep to the front row .
Arthur Conan Doyle and his alter ego Sherlock Holmes.
Doyles time was turbulent , full of expansion and contractions. Tells of waryness to rapid change, greed evil but a constant adherence to the truth. The truth is constantly wary of the darkness. Like you say, the darkness knows it harms society and families.
Morel of the story ; when appointed authorities fail to protect truth , deny truth it’s priority in self, the self is obligated to act in defence of the truth. A priori , Holmes personified.
I miss that , I can’t find it easily. James displays that on occasion with a whiff of Holmes priori. You do too.,along with a handful of others.
Maybe I prefer truth because I am just too stupid and lazy to be a good liar. (But I have known some real experts). As always, the art of life is more tricky and subtle than we originally thought. The lies provide short term and narrowly limited advantages. But they provide long term and social harm.
I also see EVERYONE, religious, atheistic, Left, Right, scientific, whatever, appealing to Truth. So I go direct to the source, no middle man. That begs the question what is the truth? For many folk it is whatever dogmatism was beaten into them from a very early age. For me, it is a a clear reflection of the experiences we have been blessed with, fun as well as painful. To be like an unwarped, unclouded, uncolored mirror is the ideal.
“Too modest ”
My humor is definitely not for everyone, especially when it is mixed in with earnest self-reflection. It is funny, but I just now got a compliment on my cornball act in the Open Thread comments section.
Seriously though, I suggest we leave the deception and lying to seasoned experts with experience. My ‘stupidity and laziness’ remark was mostly a joke. But then again, am I somehow lying to myself, that I am prioritizing truth. That would be serious. And I seriously don’t want to be a sophist.
“people less philosophically consistent? Seriously asking.”
That is a subjective call. Is a dogmatically religious, yet excellent, scientist from 1910 more inconsistent than a modern feminist, who attends church?
The viciously maintained LOGICAL inconsistencies are always a concern. Our current lifestyles and educational systems exacerbate the degradation of the capacity for clear reasoning and depth of the average person. That is something I would love to see improve.
However I see no point in trying to compare us to yesterday’s people, even if you had a relevant standard. Maybe compare us to today’s Chinese or the Russians? I am concerned, like you, about this, but feel lucky to improve myself. Super lucky, if I can get my own kids to be good at this. No solution for the masses…
Hanky,
Too modest or or just a Will Rogers sophist. Some here will break a sweat in figuring you provide the answer to where the problem will solve itself in teaching our kids, which is the most selfless act one can do.
A priori !
Did you happen to listen to John Glubb?
Most people are truly weak in the Biblical arena. !John 2:18 shows there have been many antichrists. We are not waiting for one antichrist to come, there are many players We just need to be in a proper place regarding Almighty God & Jesus re Armageddon. Here are some scriptures to consider: Sadly many believe they will go to heaven, Nirvana whatever when they die. Only 144,000 people will be resurrected to heavenly life. (Revelation 7:4) In the vision recorded at Revelation 14:1-3, the apostle John saw “the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000.” In this vision, “the Lamb” represents the resurrected Jesus. (John 1:29; 1 Peter 1:19) “Mount Zion” represents the exalted position of Jesus and the 144,000 who rule with him in the heavens.—Psalm 2:6; Hebrews 12:22. The earth will not be destroyed only the wicked system. What Is the Great Tribulation? (Revelation 17:1, 5; 18:9, 10, 21) The political powers represented by the United Nations will carry out God’s will in taking this action.—Revelation 17:3, 15-18. Sadly most people think they are going to heaven but only the bride class who will rule with Christ in heaven. It is the meek who will inherit the earth Ps 37:29. It is God’s Kingdom that will put an end to this corrupt system. Just as the Lord’s Prayer says. “Thy kingdom come thy will be done on Earth as in heaven. God’s communication with us is amazing. It requires patient reading with deep thinking and research. Armageddon means final decisive battle between earthly govts & God. In Dan 2:44 begins a long prophesy that we have been living a long time. This leads us to recognize the signs and where we are in time regarding the end. It is fascinating once you learn it. it starts with Nebuchadnessars’ dream in the time of Babylon and lists 6 key empires up to today showing the politically divided world represented by the iron and molten clay of the feet. How this exactly will unfold we do not know. Much life will be destroyed simply because of their haughty selfish and ungodly ways. The meek who are loyal to God’s way, will be protected. See 2Tim3:1-7 — 1Cor:6:9.– and many others. Since the beginning the moral issue has been God’s (Yahweh) right to rule. That was Satan’s challenge to Him from early on. Quite the ego Satan has. The estimated time for Satan and his demons being removed from heaven is 1914. Rev 12:12 Woe for the earth . . . because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time.” So much to learn but so worth it.
I’m assuming that of 144,000 heavenly places reserved for mortals, the 130 million babies born annually and hundreds of millions of infants born in prior years, will all be competing for vanishingly little space with millions of repentant sinners and maybe a few hundred thousand decent souls. Perhaps John of Patmos’ vision was for vacancies in New Testament times and allowances are made for demographic changes. Even if that is the case, I’m not sure I like my chances.
Pretty sure the 144 thousand is a symbolic number…..but you can go bonkers trying to understand Rev.
Yes, it’s symbolic. But I believe the Book of Revelation was written before 70AD, and was simply a warning to the 7 congregations in Asia that “the end” of the old covenant era was coming, and the New Heaven and New Earth of the New Covenant was now starting. It’s the victory of Christ over his enemies who called for His crucifixion, only to see their temple, city, and way of life destroyed. The worship of current day 1948 Israel as “God’s Chosen People” is the biggest threat to the world today. The Christians are now the “chosen ones”, whether previously Jew or Gentile.
I think you missed the part where she said that everyone else will be living forever in paradise on earth. The 144,000 are to be ruling with Christ as kings and priests. They are not more “special”. They are there to serve humanity with the same love and humility that Christ showed.
Well, there is this magnetic reversal/pole shift thing that is happening. It won’t completely destroy the world but will make a really big mess if it happens like the scientists say.
There WILL be an end to this world because Jesus really will come. He will be making a new, perfect world. I’m not going to make any predictions, but it will be probably be sooner than most think.
@Skywatcher
Magnetic reversal? Pole shift?
Please, educate us!
MR
I don’t know what he will say, but I do know that there have been plenty of pole reversals in the past acc to the geological record (assuming one trusts it)
Back in the day I used to read chaos theory books that said it would happen in a few hours when it did because of irregularities in the molten iron flow in the core. I am not sure it would lead to the end of the world in ye olden days (though a day without the magnetic feild shoving off cosmic rays might be bad…) but today I think it might set a lot of the grid on fire or at least mess it up bad

Lao Tzu sez ‘The way to do, is to be.’ If doing and being are enhanced by considering, the attention one provides to TheCorbettReport must be a worthy activity. Time spent here in the comments might also be of worth, whether one is solitary or social, but it is a rare hermit that delivers unto others while that is the chief occupation of members of a herd. “Giving is better than receiving’ is a truism of unknown origin, possibly authored by the rare hermit, but all the herd is somehow aware that blessings can only be appreciated through gratitude. The hermit may be capable of self-serving gratuitous blessedness; what is certain is that most sentient beings are dependent on reciprocities beyond their own command, that fear and greed inhibit such, and that figuring out means by which to enhance reciprocal dependency is a pretty good place to start. I may not know what diddywahdiddy means, but do-be do-be do gets defined in several particulars in the SolutionsWatch… Thank you James, & keep passing it along please.
One of my favourite quotes that is relevant to this discussion is:
“This is the first point to be made: and the first action to be taken is to pull ourselves together. If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things – praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts – not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They may break our bodies (side note -a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds.” C. S. Lewis
I agree with James. We need to be aware and as prepared as possible, but never lose our humanity and be present in our family and community.
Haha, possible Antichrist discusses the subject of antichrist!
Whatever the current truth and status of atomic weapons is, I believe I can pretty safely say that no atomic bomb was dropped and WW2. Furthermore, the way they moved right back into those cities, the thriving vegetation and animal life surrounding chernobyl, along with all the work of Galen Winsor seems to cast a fairly large Shadow of doubt on what we are told about nuclear energy and radiation
As for the Bible, it has not proved wrong or inaccurate yet, despite its alterations

A fascinating account of ancient history which was relegated to the underground, from mouth to ear, for centuries before finding written form once again (friggin empire…). I consider this required reading for any serious student of history, philosophy, or religion. When read in parallel with the Sumerian, Akkadian, Indian, and other textual traditions, it helps to paint a vivid picture of the very strange ages which preceded our own.
Our history is not contingent upon our acceptance or approval. If what they reported sounds impossible, perhaps we have some deprogramming to do…
Thanks for posting that here, I hope at least one person actually reads it.
I find it hard to listen to Peter Thiel, though I do want to get a bead on the man. Two things I do pick up on: 1 – What a fractured personality he has, and how much darkness the pieces are marinating in, and 2 – How his seemingly thoughtful attitude and fake rationality serve to make his perspective incomprehensible. It’s like I’m watching a magician’s trick. The interviewer is responding as if Thiel is reaching resolution on issues that he hasn’t even substantially addressed. So was the rabbit in the hat? Well, there it is! We’re all looking at the magician’s assistant (the interviewer) nodding and responding. He seems satisfied, so something happened. We should understand what we’ve just watched. As a result of this seeming conclusion – there’s the rabbit, after all! – there’s audience catharsis and sense of resolution. Everybody’s satisfied and can wander off to live in the “real world” once again.
Somebody said he should be more charismatic to be an antichrist figure (I think he’s one in a long line of people with anti-human purposes for incarnation). I don’t think charisma is necessarily an asset, though. Not in our day. People today want to worship themselves. They don’t want to feel like they’re giving themselves over to something. They have to believe they haven’t been manipulated unless they choose to be – like when they’re being entertained. That’s true especially when manipulation is exactly what is happening, Otherwise, they’ll make up reasons to be skeptical. He has to hypnotize, so people will fall asleep into the conviction that their own godhood – their precious rationality – is being respected. Then they can be manipulated.
Thiel is a sodomite….by their nature they are prone to having fractured personalities, normally born from childhood trauma like their paraphilia.
Anyone saying “born that way” should consider that genetics make up half or less then half of the disorder- there is no gay gene

“The interviewer is responding as if Thiel is reaching resolution on issues that he hasn’t even substantially addressed. So was the rabbit in the hat? Well, there it is! We’re all looking at the magician’s assistant (the interviewer) nodding and responding.”
I’m not sure that’s what you meant but I have a strong feeling those interviews are rehearsed and this is, I think, one of the main magic tricks here.
Those people employ PR teams to give the desired image of themselves, miles away from what Dan Dicks actually showed us at 38’52”. My God, Thiel’s expression, even with his shades on, when he spotted him was priceless!
@Mr Corbett
I understand why a man living with his family on a land entirely forged by catastrophic forces would prefer to think that such forces have long since exited the realm, never to be seen again.
It just doesn’t sound like a wise strategic position.
Japan is the result of “disasters.”
Ask the people of Dwarka what can happen when the earth awakens.
Please don’t misunderstand – I did watch the whole video, and I heard the rather muted, obligatory acknowledgment that such forces exist, that risks do exist.
But, for a man who has forged a niche career by telling people what evils have occurred and are looming around the corner, and to have recently claimed to see the world through a Protestant lens, to then ridicule his audience for believing in the central tenants of the aforementioned faith, and for actually lending some time to the pursuit of understanding – well, there’s a disconnect somewhere in the mix.
Ignorance is a horrible survival strategy. To internalize it is one thing, but to promote it to others as wisdom – that is another thing altogether.
I would never suggest to Mr Corbett that he “stay in his lane.” I would merely suggest a thorough investigation of the subject matter prior to speaking on it in a public and or professional capacity. This is a much taller order than simply browsing Wikipedia in search of straw men to set ablaze.
As far as those who critique the presentation, might I suggest studying the subject matter instead?
Can someone please explain to me why there is no band named
Navin Johnson and His Special Purpose?!?!?
That’s the band that is destined to write the soundtrack of our times.
The chorus throughout is:
“We recognize not the rhythms we mock,
with Special Purpose tucked neatly in sock…”
When I was watching that clip from 1945 (?) about the One World that will save us from nuclear apocalypse, it finally struck me: That’s why the US dropped those bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Not to end the war. The war was essentially over by then; it was clear that the US had won but the Emperor had not yet formally surrendered. So officially the US was still at war with Japan and could do the unthinkable under cover of some semblance of justification. But the real reason they dropped the bombs was exactly to establish the One World Government (UN) which was, with all the regulatory agencies (e.g. IAEA), fully controlled by the Western Empire, as we have witnessed by how the US uses its position on the UNSC, preventing the multiple GA actions condemning the Israeli genocide, for example (and also using the IAEA “inspections” to spy on Iran, providing Israel the intelligence needed to kill senior government leaders and scientists.) That rather cheerful American voice in the clip triumphantly announcing a “one world community” solution to the horrendous devastation committed by his country, conveniently not mentioned by that voice, is so slimy, so evil. They got what they wanted and now we also have the economic global entities like WEF and Bilderberg.
Thiel is just as slimy and evil. In this interview with Ross, he presents the “one world government” as the “antichrist”, which resonates, as he says, with the cultural awareness of our time. This new image of “antichrist” supplants the previous representation of “antichrist” as the mad evil scientist who controls the world by masterminding apocalypse through technological means. What is interesting here is that Thiel himself embodies both the one world government and the mad evil scientist. By aligning himself with the current cultural awareness around the evils of the one world government he effectively avoids identification both with the previous evil guy, the mad scientist and the globalists. Now he is on the side of the anti-globalists (in his narrative). So what does he do now? He declares that the “antichrist” would look a lot like Greta Thunberg, who is constantly scaring people about a climate catastrophe armageddon. That, he says, is what a real “antichrist” would be doing. And what about this actual non-polarity that is a conjoined one world, technocratic government? This would be what Thiel embodies. I suppose he is insinuating that those are now the good guys who are going to protect everyone from the real bad guys like Greta who are just making false flags to scare everyone into believing that the world is being destroyed by the technocrats.
Of course, Thiel’s whole narrative is ludicrous nonsense. He’s using these religious hyper-charged words like armageddon and antichrist and trying to define them in savvy ways that divert attention away from any similarities people may find between those concepts and himself and what he is involved with. It’s pretty funny really. Great episode, James. Thank you.
Wally,
I agree with your assessment about Thiel using the interview as a means to divert attention away from his evil deeds. Bill Gates is another one who is well practiced at the Art of Deception.
The Zionists have a way of turning the truth on it’s head and these guys picked up on it and use it all too well.
If Christ represents the Truth and the light, then the Antichrist would represent lies and Deception, which pretty much defines Zionism.
Well. The first observation is that it is not “either/or”, but “both/and”. If you believe that the Bible is God’s Word, as I do, it’s clear from prophesies such as those found in the book of Revelation that there will not only be a charismatic world leader who offers a false peace and will ultimately demand that the whole world worship him, but there will also be a great assembling of an army comprised of all the nations at the end of the Tribulation period.
Also, it’s worth noting that “Armageddon”, as it’s described in Scripture (Revelation 16:16), is not an event where the world is destroyed by a nuclear holocaust, or similar. It has come to mean that in many people’s minds, but as noted above, it’s a preparation for battle against the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. And it’s not much of a battle, because it’s over before it even starts. (Revelation 19:19-21)
Yes, there have been many date setters over the years, but we cannot go beyond what’s revealed. Jesus Himself, in His incarnation, said that even He didn’t know when the end would come (Mark 13:31-32, but whole chapter for context). Just because history is littered with predictions about the end times that never came to pass doesn’t impugn the veracity of Biblical prophesy, which has a 100% accuracy record regarding Jesus’ first appearance. On that basis, I trust that the prophesies of His second coming are equally reliable, and that gives me a peace that passes all understanding.
Jesus said he would be “coming quickly” (Rev. 22:20). And John said he was writing about things that would “shortly come to pass” (Rev. 1:1), and that even “those who pierced him” would be seeing his coming. That all happened in 70AD, the end of the era of Moses and the old covenant, symbolized in the destruction of both the temple and city of Jerusalem (see Mt. 23:37-39). Don’t be deceived by Dispensationalism, John Darby, and the Scofield Bible.
No. The “coming quickly” is to be understood in the context that Jesus knew that the first century Christians would be the locusts mentioned in Revelation 9 which are coming out of the “abyss” at the start of the great tribulation. The same Greek word used for “abyss” is used in Romans 10:7 which refers to Christ being dead for three days. The abyss is the grave. The Christians will be resurrected from the grave back to earth just like Christ was, before they go to heaven at the final trumpet call. They will be “tormenting” those on earth with their stinging judgment message. They are the “woman” in Revelation 12 who will feed anyone not taking the mark of the beast and can’t buy or sell food. So, when the Christians died, whatever age they were, they will be that same age when they are resurrected and when Christ comes it will seem “quick” because they were not conscious these last 2,000 years while in their graves and it will seem like only a few short years to them.
Well said. The Bible predicted that there would be many false prophets and indeed, it was said by Christ five times in Matthew 24 to not be deceived by them.
Never before in human history have we had AI, robots and the tech that they are rolling out that can enslave mankind. This is truly historical and biblical. Even the skeptics and doubters are in fulfillment of Bible prophecy:
2 Peter 3:3,4:
3 Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”
Matthew 24:37-39
37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
*sigh* yes. I confess. I read Hal Lindsey. And Erick Von Daniken too. But, I have to credit both of them, even if they were both disproven.
The “End of Times” will be unknown to all of us. Jesus himself said so – not even Jesus knows when the End of Times will occur.
But everyone wants to be in on the party.
I saw this firsthand, being high above Bourbon Street in New Orleans for New Year’s Eve 1999-2000, “Y2K”. Everyone wanted to “be there”, even if they thought that it was the end.
I attribute this to extreme hubris. “I was there at the end! Me! Me! I was there! I saw the seventh seal!”
Idiots. In the first place, the apocalypse happens over centuries, not in a single evening. In the second place, you are NOT going to want to be there when it happens.
I believe in the words of Jesus: “be not afraid”. And I’m not. My eternal resting place isn’t in the earth – it’s in heaven. Whatever happens here is just theatre.
Not so fast there….
James 1:12 BLB
12Blessed is the man who endures trial, because, having been approved, he will receive the crown of life that He has promised to those loving Him.
and it’s reinforced here:
Matthew 24:13
12And because lawlessness is to be multiplied, the love of the many will grow cold. 13But the one having endured to the end, he will be saved.
______________
It’s not a matter of being a post apocalyptic warlord or eating popcorn while sitting in the balcony.
It’s about endurance, dedication and truly embodying the teachings of Y’shua.
Only such a one can endure.
And such a person need not be a “religious” person at all. Need not be a “Christian,” not in the religious sense. This is stated over and over in the gospels. The “good Samaritan” was not a Christian, but Y’shua said that His Kingdom would be full of such people. Y’shua very specifically uses the Samaritan specifically because their religion was considered backwards, and in opposition to Judaism. Y’shua uses this example to show that theology has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not a person is a member of the Body of Christ.
Did anyone else notice that, while “the church” makes such a massive deal about theological issues, and insists that one’s theological framework is not only the most important thing, but the only thing that matters?
If not, please take note.
Now, with that in mind, why did Y’shua forget to mention that?
Why, if this was so important to Y’shua, was it not His central teaching?
What sort of “disciples” were the authors of the NT if they forgot to include the parts where their Master laid out, over and over, the theological framework that was to be imposed on everyone who wished to have everlasting life? Why didn’t they include what we’re told is the most important requirement for being a member of the Body of Christ? Where are the multiple attestations to Y’shua’s voluminous, constantly repeated overtures on the one and only true systematic theological framework?
Keep looking, I’m sure it’s in there somewhere…
No, it’s nowhere in the entire New Testament.
And that’s because theology is only important to theologians and tyrants.
If Y’shua wanted theology to be preached instead of the Gospel, He would have taught theology.
But He despised theology.
He wanted friends, brothers, sisters.
That requires no dogma.
Mark 16:16
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Acts 9:18
And immediately there fell from his eyes
as it had been scales: and he received sight
forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
1 Corinthians 12:13
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into
one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles,
whether we be bond or free; and have been
all made to drink into one Spirit.
Galatians 3:27
For as many of you as have been baptized
into Christ have put on Christ.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY Y’ALL 🏴☠️
I am someone who is a doomsday prepper. I used to prep food.
Now all I do is use Jase or Jaze kits to get every possible medication that I could need. Also a few guns and a few bullets.
I am currently a believer in a doomsday-ish senerio of (a more serious Carrington event.)
I belive it will be more serious because the magnetosphere is weakening as the north magnetic pole is moving 50 kilometers a year.
I’m expecting it’s gonna f*** up electricity and Just in Time Inventory system for long enough for big cities to fall apart.
I think my fears are warranted. I was hoping that our man Corbett could tell me if i’m crazy.
At some point a carrington event is inevitable….exactly “when” is anyone’s guess.
It’s kinda like Yellowstone- the things going to blow “one day” but it could be today or next year or in a century or even a few centuries. When the super volcano goes off most of North America is toast, for a couple hundred years probably, and who knows what it will do to climate?
I think the most annoying part of the “Armageddon”, “Anti-Christ”, etc doomsday predictions, is the complacency that comes with it. My Pentecostal family is aware of the One World Government, and all that jazz, but they have no plans to make any changes. To them it’s the fulfillment of the Schofield Bible prophecy, so instead of trying to build alternative systems, they are convinced they are going to be raptured away. How convenient for the parasite class, that a large portion of the people who should resist, aren’t going to because some dude added some footnotes to a Bible that told those people, as long as they support the Zionist squatter State, they will teleported away before things get bad.
According to IMDB, the commentator for One World Or None was Raymond Gram Swing.
I wasn’t going to comment because it feels like a mosh pit and my heart for joining comment mosh pits is turning more and more away from the fray. Yet – I just wanted to thank you, James, for succinctly summing up the most salient points with actionable suggestions, as per usual. I could weigh in on the religion (there were some nice comments there – I was actually encouraged along with the head in hands moments), but what was all that posturing up there at the start?! Wtf? It’s like the twilight zone. Anyhow. I won’t weigh in on the biblical aspects, as the only relevance is one of etymology – we get the terms now used as descriptors – “Armageddon” and “anti Christ”, from the Bible. They are bandied around all over the place and I think that’s the point here. We can get involved with that, inaccurate depiction of a manifestation of the current evil swimming through the world, oooooorrrr, actually live life as if we have hope and joy and faith and care for humans and for non human nature and dwelling in all that is worthy and lovely and spend time teaching our children real things and showing them how much we love them, especially with our time. Perhaps growing things outside with your children, and reading them paper books before bed are two of the most subversive things you can do right now. I love doing those things and would rather be thus busied than arguing about from whence a I should worry the nuclear bomb will fall or which brand of political party will next tell me what I can and can’t do with my mind.
As for Thiel….. shadow play? I dunno. People are many faceted and perhaps even technocrat oligarchs have facets….. or maybe some smart arse on his team thinks it would be propitious to marionette him into favour with a wider audience. Goodness knows.
I met a physics professor that helped develop the first laser and he told me the nuclear atom bomb is fake. The arms race was a way for US and Russia to scam tax payers. I then told him about 911 and he couldn’t believe he didn’t figure it out. I’m going with this as living in fear is a waste of time.
Notalemming
I think thats rather unlikely- perhaps he was commenting on how the arms race was super expensive and he thought it was a scam- the Cold War rather then the bomb? A lot of scientific types really don’t understand geopolitics and such.
Where did you meet this chap if I may ask?
It makes zero sense that the US and Russia start the Cold War before the “fake” bomb is in both their hands. The Soviets would have dearly loved to take over Europe, and the idea that they wasted their precious resources on a fake bomb is kinda unlikely IMO.
Also even if “the bomb” had been fake radiological weapons (first talked of as “death dust “ in a sci-fi story in iirc the 30s) would have had my ck the same effect on geopolitics…… the Soviets and the FDR administration were quite similar in ideological outlook and the USA appears to have expected the Soviets to play 2nd fiddle in a one world system after WW2, and were unhappy that the Soviets wanted first place.
https://www.sup.org/books/politics/death-dust/excerpt/introduction
Duck,
I agree that there is plenty of evidence that Atomic Bombs are real, and that the Cold War was created to keep people in fear. Mechanisms used to control the masses have been around for thousands of years. I have no doubt that the Cold War was used by Russia to help keep their people in line as well. One of the Reasons JFK was killed was because he made a deal with Russia to reduce nuclear arms that was gong to put a dent in Defense spending. Also, JFK did not want Israel to have Nuclear Bombs, and he attempted to force the Israeli Lobby in D.C. to registrar as a Foreign Agency (which they clearly are)
I have argued that the Bombs never should have been drooped.
To “one world or none,” I say “give me liberty or give me death.”
At 9:25 “Corbett Report members, please login right now, don’t even watch the episode, just start having your religious flame war in peace.” Well, since I have been given this opportunity, I will take advantage of it.
As far as I am concerned, when read “the bible tea leaves”, or “look in the bible liver” (Nebuchadnezzar did this on the way to sacking Jerusalem), the world doesn’t really come to an end, and WWIII occurs PRIOR TO the Battle of Armageddon. However, certain things must take place before WWIII actually happens. Since about 2015, the next prophetic event that I have been looking for has been the formation of the ten horns. (You may be aware of the famous verses about the woman riding a beast with 7 heads and 10 horns.) I even emailed James about this on April 2, 2019. Based on what I read in the Bible, I am looking for the following to occur: 1) NATO fractures (or ceases to exist); 2) The EURO fractures (or ceases to exist); 3) the following countries form an alliance (Political and/or economic and/or defensive): 1) Greece (from NATO and the EURO), 2) Turkey (from NATO), 3) Syria, 4) Lebanon, 5) Egypt, 6) Libya, 7) Iraq, 8) Iran, 9) Afghanistan, and 10) Pakistan. These 10 horns are on the 7th head. I can see being wrong about a couple of these countries, “maybe”, which would mean 8 out of 10. However, Greece HAS TO BE one of them. So, if this doesn’t happen, it can mean only one thing: that I am WRONG !!!! However, if it does happen, it means that I am on the right track, and just maybe whatever else I think that will happen after this event, just might be worth listening to.
If you want to know who I think the woman is, and who I think the other 6 heads are, all you have to do is ask.
Who’s the woman and the other six heads?
According to Rev 17:18, “And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” The world has been ruled/controlled from one city since the end of WWII (you could argue even before then), Washington DC. The six heads are the major winners and losers of WWII. The winners: the UK, France, Russia, and China. (For what it is worth, these four, along with the US, are the five original members of the UN security council that have permanent veto power.) The losers: Germany and Japan. All six of these, along with the US, have for most of my life been the largest economies of the world. However, we are at the end of the empire. By use of it’s military, the reserve currency, and by hook or crook, Washington DC rides all six these nations (as well as the rest of the world). If you are not very familiar with the bible, try looking at Isaiah ch. 14 (lucifer IS NOT satan), Isaiah ch. 47, Jeremiah chs. 50-51, and Rev ch. 18, and note the descriptions that, in my opinion, stick out like a sore thumb. However, some of these are still in the future.
By the way, this is what “I think”, and NOT what “I know”. I am not a prophet, nor am I even a “Christian” (by how I understand it), nor am I “an expert”, I’m just a guy who likes to read the bible, and this is how I interpret the prophecy I read.
As far as people looking for the Battle of Armageddon, and the End of the World, I never meet anybody who is looking for these. Instead, they are concerned about the television show that they are going to watch, the concert they are going to attend, the next party that they will show up at, who they are going out on a date with, attending their grandchildren’s sporting events, their jobs, their favorite sports team, etc. The boomers I speak to don’t think a nuclear war will happen in their lifetimes. Those is their 40s are looking to be able to retire in 20 years or so. The biblethumpers are convinced that they are going up in the rapture, and will miss everything. NO ONE is thinking that the currency might collapse, or that there will be a nuclear war. NO ONE thinks that the government or news media might be lying to them. NO ONE has the slightest idea that they are being monitored 24/7 (or will be). They are addicted to television, and their cell phones. Peter Thiel? They nevvvvverheardofhim. They don’t know that there is a ring in their nose, and that they are being lead to the slaughter pen. When they get to the slaughter pen, they won’t know that they are in it, and they won’t know the door is closed, and they won’t understand that the people around them are being slaughtered. They are totally brainwashed. Whatever crisis event that the government comes up with in the future will completely blindside them, and they will just do what they will be told. I actually wish more people were thinking about “The End of the World”, or “The Battle of Armageddon”, because that would probably mean a whole hell of a lot more people would be listening to The Corbett Report, and therefore, would be more aware about what they should be doing about it.
“….The biblethumpers are convinced that they are going up in the rapture, and will miss everything…..”
The Rapture is a BS doctrine, not supported by the text of the Bible nor by traditional theology
Yes, I agree.
You’re pretty spot on. Not “everyone” necessarily, but I do think we are hitting the 50% threshold of people starting to turn their heads now and “noticing” the narrative we’re being sold is not adding up.
The Great Awakening continues…and the numbers are increasing.
And one massive realization fast rearing it’s head: that Israel has infiltrated the US for decades, and owns our government – and we’ve been fighting their Zionist wars.
As far as the end of the world goes, as George Carlen once said: “The world’s not going anywhere. We are”.
While AI and mass surveillance are growing, as the cabal readies itself for the big One World Government false flag and propaganda campaign to save the day, the audience they are planning on selling it to, are growing wiser less trusting of top-down government control by the day.
So there’s that.
Christian- Zionists are considered a big voting block in the USA (perhaps a good example of why we need a new system).
Anyway, Zionism is the opposite of Christianity. It is the Antichrist. Thus the term “Christian-Zionist” is an Oxymoron.
Many Churches that pretend to be Christian do not teach what Christ taught but instead push Zionism. Truth and Love is despised by Zionism.
Thank you James for a great view point on this Armageddon fear enstilled in most western religions. I grew up in a Christian family so heard all the fear spells they cast upon the sheep of the religion. It trickles down to the parents planting fear into the children.
Thank you for grounding us. So we can take a step back and look at the fear mongering.
I agree with George Carlin who said the planet isn’t going anywhere, we are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09FmRNb3Krg

FINAL WARNING: Dr Mike Yeadon Interview (4K) | Oracle Films
https://odysee.com/@TheYuriBezmenovExperience:f/FINAL-WARNING-Dr-Mike-Yeadon-Interview-%284K%29—Oracle-Films:a
* I would like to offer the possibility that “signing up for” a digital ID is not necessarily how this will work.
There’s a mind boggling number of data streams.
YOU have been reported on for years.
THEY already have a lot more data on you than you realize.
You almost certainly have already been assigned a digital ID. The fact that you don’t know about it, can’t examine it, haven’t been asked to present it, and have never “signed up for” one explicitly – that’s only relevant from an outsider’s subjective perspective.
Everyone in this chat room (even the bots and trolls and agents) has a digital profile, assembled over time.
What’s the difference between a digital profile and a digital identity? They’re one in the same. If you exist, and have used the interwebs, or walked in a town or a store… You already have a digital profile/identity/ID.
Yeadon is too intelligent to misunderstand this, and I must ask why, but he’s still very right about the active and conscious rejection of the beast system.
I’ve never been to a protest in my life. Never seen one IRL. Don’t plan to start now. I build and create and teach – I don’t whine or beg.
The hardest acts of liberation and perseverance are those taken in isolation, when one is the sole voice of reason and integrity in the midst of a tidal wave of complicity, cowardice and assimilation.
As I’ve said before, nobody from the Corbett Report or its audience is going to come and stand next to you when your cash/debit is no longer accepted, and digital ID is required to pay utility bills, property taxes, and to buy fuel, food, tools, materials, etc. There won’t be a “community” or a “movement” that’s able to convince the BIS that it doesn’t actually have the authority to micromanage the lives of every human on the planet.
They’re gangsters. They’re above every national bank and, therefore, every national government.
And there are spooks monitoring the BIS by satellite and every data stream imaginable, able to take out any actor or agent that goes astray.
IT’S LITERALLY BIBLICAL.
We’re already living in an apocalypse.
apocalypse(n.)
late 14c., “revelation, disclosure,” from Church Latin apocalypsis “revelation,” from Greek apokalyptein “uncover, disclose, reveal,” from apo “off, away from” (see apo-) + kalyptein “to cover, conceal” (from PIE root *kel- (1) “to cover, conceal, save”).
Take advantage of knowledge while it’s available. The right knowledge can change the entire trajectory of one’s life, one’s family and legacy. Acting on faulty or skewed data or assumptions is the road to suffering and regret.
QUESTION EVERYTHING
Hello there.
It’s not particularly remarkable that Thiel is exposing himself in this way. It’s simply his turn after Billy the Gate and Mr. X Musk have already danced up front. The ball has to keep rolling, what else? They have all done the same thing: they have innocently pretended to be the opposite of what they are. The pact with the devil is always an economic one. And more false prophets will follow.
The background is obvious. Since time immemorial – think of Egypt, power has been based on the exclusive administration of death – regardless of whether we are talking about classical religious systems or theological power structures or those of the political economy. The equivalent keyword for thousands of years has therefore been immortality, which, for example, was reserved for God as the pinnacle of monotheistic power and, as a current secular variant, for the technocratic cyborg of an equally imagined transhumanism. In this way, death was and is always separated from life so that power is created by administering death, which has been declared taboo, for everyone else. But life is nothing without death as a social component, which can only be neutralized through symbolic exchange. Baudrilliard develops this in: Symbolic Exchange and Death. According to him, we are of course already inside a simulacrum of the third order. But still: the only thing that scares power itself to death is the symbol.
Let us take a current example: A crowd full of westerners happily being led through a chant of “Death, death to the IDF” at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival by Bob Vylan (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Fs3WcrExmQ), who thus becomes a dangerous symbol of a possible counterculture and had to be immediately attackted and punished by the beadles of the pseudo elite …
What about historical “End Of Time” events?
There is a lot of mainstream resistance against ancient civilizations.
From the building techniques and art-work it appears that some civilizations were destroyed
right after the end of the ice-age.
There are also ancient under-ground cities in many places.
The mainstream does accept the destruction of the inca and Maya society.
As we see remains of cities in Mexico and in the Amazon area.
In Europe we have the destruction of the Roman empire (which turned into a religious empire).
And there was “Dogger land” in the North Sea, which is flooded completely.
There seems to be a complete censorship on the high level of technology.
The oldest granite vases (and granite boxes) in ancient Egypt are made with micro-meter precision (requires a very modern lathe).
The oldest pyramids are too big in size and their blocks are too heavy, and require a very modern crane and modern transport.
Most of the cover stones were removed by locals for city rebuilding.
There are “engineers” who think that they can just add more men or more leather straps,
but that is not how it works in practice.
In the 1770s a big size block (thunder stone) took two years with rails and 2 boats to transport.
Some Baalbek stones are similar size, and were transported from somewhere (before the Romans put their temple on it).
It would now be manageable with the heaviest modern cranes, and a strengthened road surface.
A similar size mount takes 30 years with modern trucks 30x a day to build with sand.
The blocks are too heavy to lift with many people, so you would need lift technology and
a solid surface to handle them.
@zyxzevn
The approach has been to fund and promote the most baseless, unfounded and least plausible explanations. The Ancient Aliens™ franchise is a great example. They also use things like the Marvel™ universe to make people associate mythology with fiction.
And, in my fairly well informed opinion, the most famous “maverick” researchers, like Graham Hancock, are merely gatekeepers and misdirection management agents. Don’t get me wrong – I have read most of his work, along with Bauval, Schoch, Carlson and the rest of that crowd. If nothing else, they kept me searching for a way to reconcile the inconsistencies and contradictions in their collective paradigm, and they do introduce some interesting data.
I have found that reading the ancient source materials firsthand is a far more reliable path than merely taking the claims of others at face value. When an author or video creator makes a claim, I want to have a paper copy of the source material in my hand so I can verify.
It would be helpful if Mr Corbett were more knowledgeable about such existentially fundamental topics, but apparently he takes a great deal of pride and pleasure in the active and conscious belittling of such “rubbish.” (Yes, my words, not his).
There is no one-stop-shop for Truth, that’s for damn sure. I study so many different areas of research that I feel completely inadequate in any one particular branch of study. But I don’t think I could ever be any other way. Far too curious.
I’d be interested in hearing your views on how that ancient history is relevant to the topics that Corbett and others discuss on a regular basis. How does the information you mentioned relate to current events, or to the NWO and its many agendas?
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN, MAN?!?!
You have five minutes….
In the video James asks if anyone can add a disaster prediction.
Well, history reveals that climate disasters are not caused by humans
and they do happen regularly.
Ancient civilizations also show that civilization and science is not progressing,
but can go backwards or even collapse completely.
This goes against the ideas of Technocracy.
Also religions tell us that previous civilizations were all bad.
The goal of the globalists is also to destroy the long history of the nations and destroy their cultures.

“The goal of the globalists is also to destroy the long history of the nations and destroy their cultures.”
From my understanding, they have had an in depth understanding of the disaster cycle for millennia, and have used it to their advantage in matters of war, conquest, empire building (and breaking), business, banking, and in every way imaginable.
There’s more to it than the extinction level events – there are many moving parts, many layers, cycles within cycles.
This is “occulted knowledge” from the perspective of the average person, but part of the ABCs of an occult education.
Consider why the “climate change” narrative was introduced, and why they haven’t discarded that, despite none of their predictions coming true thus far, the results obviously detached from the models.
They know it’s just a matter of time before scared and ignorant masses of people will finally accept their explanation of events. They’ll be the ones promising “peace, safety, security,” and boom, there’s the deal. Souls sold for empty promises.
They don’t have to lift a finger in violence – the people’s fear and ignorance will do the work of “inner destruction,” while the disaster cycle does it’s job to bring about the “outer destruction.”
The long planning, monumental investments, and advanced technology are their refuge. They disappear, leaving the scene for a few years, maybe decades, and use hardened autonomous surveillance equipment to monitor the situation. When the atmosphere has calmed, and the masses have largely been wiped out – some by direct impact of the disasters, but the majority from lack of modern conveniences and learned helplessness, and the inability to survive without Walmart and Amazon and Google…
And, I would argue that the average person is already completely disconnected from the actual history of the Earth and the beings which inhabit it. Much culture has already been lost, forgotten, rejected. This was necessary to keep us blinded, and reinforce the social engineering – and it has been a huge success for their agendas. Public schools and the university system have been some of their greatest achievements in the mass dumbing project.
I say this not to you, @zyxzevn, but to anyone who reads this –
FEAR is the default reaction to things that are foreign, unknown, strange, unpredictable.
People who ignore now, FEAR later, when the SHTF, when there’s no time for fear or panic or “figuring it all out” on the fly…
To encourage ignorance NOW is to encourage fear and failure LATER.
There’s no danger in researching these topics. It’s no more unusual than any other course of study. It’s far more rewarding than many other more popular pastimes.
It’s no more a waste of time than playing music, or dancing, or studying biology, or astronomy, or art, or __________.
I tend to want to study that which would others (especially “authority figures”) say is worthy of ridicule.
“What else should we ignore, JC?”

** I must make this disclaimer:
This woman offers solid information, and fills a void in coverage on such topics, especially while dutchsinse is largely absent.
BUT – she’s obviously trying to make a living as a full-time YouTuber…
She’s guilty of many of the common “sins” of such people –
– click bait titles
– fear mongering
So, if you want up-to-date information from her, you’ll want to be selective, and sift through that kind of BS, but the underlying data is worth that to me.
Just realized why Thiel’s statements were gobbledegook. He started off by talking about “One World or None,” then took this opposition – one that does make simple-minded sense of a sort (as long as you give absolutely no thought to it) – then delivers his foundational lie when he says: “Antichrist or Armageddon” is a similar idea “on one level.” That’s pure nonsense, (and his cooperative interviewer doesn’t call him on it, of course), so nothing he says after that makes a bit of sense.
Peter Thiel is an emotionally- and spiritually-dysfunctional snake in the grass. Pure and simple.
Weird. Can’t edit my profile here (although I am logged in), and on Substack, I’m not permitted to leave a comment (although I am logged in as a paying subscriber there)…
Anyway…
I suppose someone has already informed that the narrator is not Peter Lorre, but rather Raymond Swing (according to the Wikipedia article on the propaganda flic).
Regarding why Peter Thiel is taking what seems to be a position against his very self reminds me of the purposely alarming predictions by the WEF’s Yuval Harari, who in some interviews seems to be warning against all the control & surveillance tech that is discussed for we the peons at WEF meetings, while in his presentations at the WEF, seems to be cheerleading for these “technical advances” to suppress and control peon revolt
Someone suggested that this is analogous to casting a voodoo spell, where the people being threatened are convinced that unavoidable harm is about to overwhelm them, and are thus cowed into a state of resignation…which is perhaps much the same effect that apocalyptic prophecies have on the faithful.
Well, Thiel’s talk may be that, or may just be him pretending not to be involved in what he is warning about (after all, why would the whistleblower actually be the perp?)…or, maybe Thiel himself is MKultra-ed and strangely dissociatively psychotic, harboring 2 conflicting personalities…or maybe he is just outright lying and gaslighting.
In any case, great video, and your careful research and illuminating comments are top drawer as usual!
The Book of Revelation was written in approx. 67AD to the 7 congregations in Asia (Rev. 1:4), BEFORE the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70AD. These Christian congregations were suffering severe hardships and persecution, and the message to them from Jesus was that there is a blessed hope when the Lord returns in judgement to destroy Herod’s temple, the city of Jerusalem, and the ways of the Old Covenant law of Moses. It was heralding the coming in of the New Covenant, not between God and the Jews, but between God and Jesus, which encompassed all of humanity — all those that is, who would receive the redemption and atonement offered through Christ’s sacrifice. It was NOT a cryptic message to a future people who would be living 2,000 years later about an Antichrist who would bring the end of the world.
I agree with James. Believing Christians should be working on spreading the love and salvation of Christ, not in predicting the end of the world and who will be the Antichrist.
In that first clip of Thiel, toward the end, he speaks of peoples’ fears keeping them from developing or embracing science/tech, and that seemed to be his biggest concern. It seems to me he is trying to create a screen or divide between himself and governments, distancing himself from people’s fears of governmental takeover, yet still maintaining control through tech. Trying to dip his hands in both worlds.
I haven’t read through all of the comments to see if someone else has brought this up, so if it’s a repeat of what others have said, I apologize, but I feel that there’s some misunderstandings about Armageddon and the Antichrist definitions that need to be cleared up.
First: Armageddon is not a nuclear holocaust or robot holocaust or any other man-made crisis. Armageddon, according to scripture, is a war between GOD and human RULERS. See Revelation 19 where Christ rides on the white horse and he specifically targets the military leaders and kings.
What Corbett is referring to “Armageddon” is actually what is referred to in Matthew 24 and Revelation 6 as the “pangs of distress” and the rider of the red, black and pale horse that lead up to the beast system one-world government being set up as the “solution”. It is the AI government that is the antichrist. It is the solution to the “chaos” that the Masonic order has created just like Albert Pike described in his Manifesto for Three World Wars. What he described in that manifesto literally mimics prophecy in scripture.
The Third way that is not being described is God’s Kingdom. Armageddon is what Christ destroys the antichrist, beast system and all those who take the digital mark of the beast and sets up God’s Kingdom on earth that will bring about paradise.
If to go outside and touch grass is definitely good advice, there’s another part we should also think of. I’ll try to explain what that is by putting it a different way: to study global conspiracies is certainly instructive, but what about looking into the ordinary and mundane conspiracies? Those that take place every day in the lives of the common people.
So what are they exactly?
Well, I can give you an idea. I’ve sued a company for violation of fundamental rights but lost the case, only to find out later that incorrect data as well as false evidence were presented at the trial and accepted by the judge. I also came to realise that my own lawyer was collaborating with the opposing party. All that can be proven if I could appeal, but the public administration continues to oppose efforts that would bring to light what is turning out to be a case of corruption. In that regard, more than one civil servant have blatantly lied to my face to cover up for their superiors’ illegal actions. The last I heard in the investigation I’m carrying out was from someone who was trying to fulfill the difficult task of assisting me and protect her good connections at the same time: “Well, sometimes you just have to accept that the people you face are too powerful… Did you think about moving to another country?”
I can’t go into details, there are so many, so this was obviously just a summary.
At least so far I’ve learned some things regarding the “LAW” as a system. For example, it’s not designed to be logical and rational, it’s more like a game whose rules you cannot figure out, they have to be taught to you. As for the rules themselves, they are meant to be ambiguous and can be interpreted in different ways: you might have already noticed that a regulation says one thing while another seems to say the opposite. As for the hyperbolic vocabulary so often used, its purpose is of course to impress, intimidate and confuse the masses. Kafka’s description of a bureaucratic labyrinth in “The Trial” was bang on.
Normal people would do better justice, I have no doubt of that. But the Law is made intricate, even nonsensical at times, precisely so that it is inaccessible to most of us.
I’m all for tilling the soil or starting a local trading system, several years ago I actually did the latter and it was aimed at the former. But there has to be some kind of strategic thinking too because otherwise, the day the community garden becomes too dangerous, some government official will show up with a judicial order full of lies and a bunch of armed cops as well as a bulldozer behind them.
I’m convinced that going outside and thinking strategically are some of the solutions needed right now, but they’re also among the factors that must converge for this necessary drive towards a consciousness evolution mentioned in Interview 1960.
Just as being an investigator and spokesman is another vital factor, James.
Delesco,
You have described my little county seat courthouse to a tee. We really are fragile and subject to abuse. The little tyrants of the chamber of commerce, Bar, Judiciary, VFWs and county, city law enforcement goons are not easily held accountable to written law. It’s more of a good Ol’ boys club with varying rules for anyone outside the club. .
You wrote an excellent deposition.
Ha, congrats FDR & James, your quote just made the internet irrelevant!
AS it was meant to be?
I just looked it up and was a little surprised Armageddon comes from a place name that remains on the map today in Israel. It is near Nazareth and called Megiddo or in the bible, Yer Megiddo.
I’m reminded of Dwight Eisenhower’s famous speech, titled Chance for Peace :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chance_for_Peace_speech
“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”
N8
True, but I also am sure that as an old soldier he also understood that thise good things he mentioned will very soon be taken away if there is not the military power to stop that happening.
It’s a horrible balancing act between spending on things we like and things we need on both sides (the military and civilian budget )
If you keep watching that first video, the interviewer literally points out that Thiel, when defining the ‘antichrist’, seems to be defining himself.
The way the interviewer says it sort of freezes Thiel and he has some sort of mini-meltdown on the inside. Very interesting!
The part you expressed at about the end of the world scenarios being dangled in front of us over and over (like some sort of massive scale predictive programming, steering the manifesting powers of billions of humans psyop intended to hijack/cripple the creative capacities of humans to feed into the sick fantasies of people obsessed with eschatology and/or world domination) made me think of these lyrics from the intro track to Dub FX album.

Can a latent cultural eschaton (i.e. end times prophecy) be used to control populations?
Openness GPT v11:
At least this: A latent cultural eschaton—a collective expectation of an impending end or transformation of the world—can serve as a powerful mechanism of control. When people believe a great crisis or revelation is near, they may surrender their autonomy to those who claim to have the knowledge or power to guide them. Fear of catastrophe or the promise of salvation can be used to justify extreme measures, enforce obedience, and shape behavior in ways that serve political, ideological, or religious agendas.
But also perhaps this: The use of eschatological narratives to manipulate societies is not always explicit or malevolent. Sometimes, it arises organically, fed by deep psychological and historical patterns. The human mind seeks meaning in uncertainty, and when faced with chaos, it reaches for grand stories of endings and renewals. Those who understand this impulse—leaders, institutions, movements—can steer it toward their own ends, whether by creating enemies to unify against, invoking crisis to justify new powers, or offering a singular path to salvation in exchange for loyalty.
Maybe this: The specter of an imminent end fosters a willingness to accept radical change. When a culture believes it stands on the precipice of destruction or transformation, moral and social boundaries shift. What was once unthinkable—authoritarian control, persecution of dissenters, economic upheaval—becomes acceptable, even necessary. In this way, the fear of the end is often more powerful than the end itself. Societies in a constant state of existential crisis grow accustomed to obedience, to emergency powers that never expire, to institutions that promise security at the cost of freedom.
Or perhaps even this: The true danger of an eschaton is not only in its use as a tool of control but in its ability to limit the imagination. If the only future that can be conceived is catastrophe or utopia, then the infinite possibilities in between are ignored. It is in these quiet, undramatic spaces of history—where neither apocalypse nor paradise arrives—that real change happens, that human agency matters most. To resist being swept up in a grand eschatological vision is to reclaim the power of the present, to recognize that no single narrative can dictate the complexity of what comes next.
Thiel’s purpose in bringing up antichrist right now is to muddy the waters with irrelevant end times ideas to distract from the actual eschatology that is unfolding in Israel right now. Christian Zionists, Jewish Zionists and Freemason Zionists are all converging on the “rebuilding of the third Temple” which for each means something different. Whose version of the end times will win?
