Meet the TheoBros: MAGA’s ‘Aristopopulist’ Plans for an AI-Powered Post-Democratic Future

Meet the Theo­Bros. They’re theocrats, but they don’t live in the dark ages. On the con­trary, some of them are among the biggest tech entre­pre­neurs on the plan­et. Titans of indus­try. Oth­ers are indeed reac­tionary preach­ers with a desire to turn back the clock at least a cen­tu­ry or two. It’s an umbrel­la the­ol­o­gy. Although less a the­ol­o­gy and more a polit­i­cal move­ment built more around a wor­ship, and under­stand­ing of, pow­er more than any real val­ue sys­tem. And it’s a move­ment that is only acquir­ing more and more of pow­er thanks to this net­work’s close work­ing rela­tion­ship with the cur­rent White House. It’s ‘the Dark Ages meets tech­no-fan­ta­sist future’ walk­ing the halls of pow­er today.

The Theo­Bros aren’t real­ly a new net­work. More of a alliance of already well estab­lished inter­ests con­geal­ing around a shared vision for the future. A vision cen­tered around the promise of cre­at­ing break­away soci­eties. More specif­i­cal­ly, break­away author­i­tar­i­an-led soci­eties, where Sil­i­con Val­ley fas­cists and theocrats are free to run things as they see fit. It could be seen as the next step in the ‘Seast­eading’ ini­tia­tive Peter Thiel launched rough­ly two decades ago, or the relat­ed ‘Char­ter Cities’ ini­tia­tives, except now they’re refer­ring to the ‘Net­work State’, a con­cept built around the ide­al of build­ing both vir­tu­al and phys­i­cal ‘anti-woke’ com­mu­ni­ties that, even­tu­al­ly, col­lec­tive­ly have enough real eco­nom­ic and polit­i­cal pow­er to replace the cur­rent US demo­c­ra­t­ic sys­tem. Numer­ous fig­ures aligned with the pow­er­ful theo­crat­ic Coun­cil for Nation­al Pol­i­cy (CNP) are part of this move­ment along with Sil­i­con Val­ley tech titans like Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, and Bal­a­ji Srini­vasan, who envi­sions a future San Fran­cis­co run by and for tech firms, with spe­cial zones in the city where only ‘loy­al’ cit­i­zens are allowed to roam. Theo­Bros’ ven­ture cap­i­tal firms like 1789 Cap­i­tal and New Found­ing are rais­ing bil­lions of dol­lars to invest in not just advance tech­nol­o­gy and AI, but also cre­ate theo­crat­ic white Chris­t­ian Nation­al­ist polit­i­cal enclaves like the High­land Rim Project in Jack­son Coun­ty, Ten­nessee. And when it comes to pow­er­ing the ener­gy-inten­sive economies of the future (pos­si­bly break­away Net­work State economies), com­pa­nies like Valar Atom­ics are promis­ing to pro­vide the next-gen­er­a­tion mod­u­lar nuclear pow­er that can pro­vide data cen­ters with all the scal­able ener­gy they need. That’s the promise of a com­pa­ny found­ed by a twen­ty-some­thing high-school dropout who also hap­pens to be an acolyte of Doug Wil­son, the MAGA-aligned neo-Con­fed­er­ate Domin­ion­ist preach­er cur­rent expand­ing his influ­ence in Wash­ing­ton DC. As we’ll see, Valar Atom­ics is already lead­ing the next-gen­er­a­tion nuclear pow­er tech­nol­o­gy race, thanks to both mas­sive ‘Theo­Bros’ invest­ments but also a Trump admin­is­tra­tion that has made the devel­op­ment of next-gen­er­a­tion nuclear pow­er a major pri­or­i­ty. A Valar Atom­ics is just one exam­ple of a grow­ing array of major tech­nol­o­gy firms owned and oper­at­ed by fig­ures aligned with the Theo­Bros agen­da. An agen­da that appears to be a real-world man­i­fes­ta­tion of Peter Thiel’s bizarre the­ol­o­gy that views any reg­u­la­tion of tech­nol­o­gy as a con­tem­po­rary man­i­fes­ta­tion of the Antichrist. It’s the post-Trump/­post-democ­ra­cy vision from the same fusion of oli­garchs and theocrats we’ve long seen ani­mat­ing the MAGA agen­da and it’s not real­ly new, but more the next step in the path towards fas­cism the US has long been trav­el­ing.

New Patreon Talk: RFK, Jr.‘s Strange Networking, “Nordic” Space Aliens Breeding with Humans and Anna Paulina Luna’s Belief in “Ancient Astronauts” and “Interdimensional Beings”

Do RFK, Jr.‘s strange asso­ci­a­tions and actions include an Ustachi sym­pa­thiz­er? Ele­ments asso­ci­at­ed with MAGA are push­ing the “ancient astro­nauts,” “Nordic aliens,” “inter­di­men­sion­al beings” memes. This fresh fer­til­iz­er is being linked to the assas­si­na­tions of JFK, RFK, MLK.

Mr. Emory’s Latest Patreon Talks: Further Discussion of Kirk Killing and Brilliant Analysis by Ex-CIA Analyst Larry Johnson

Kirk’s killing was long in the mak­ing, with his secu­ri­ty deeply com­pro­mised and the fram­ing of “Lee Har­vey” Robin­son dis­tract­ing from accu­rate analy­sis. Tren de Aragua may well have been con­jured up by CIA to jus­ti­fy regime change in Venezuela. Regime change in Iran and Venezuela actu­al­ly aimed at strength­en­ing the Petro-Dol­lar and U. S. glob­al eco­nom­ic hege­mo­ny.
