A-Infos (en) Italy, UCADI, #207 - Trump's Preemptive War on the Pope (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

The "divine Trump"'s tirades have given rise—as we analyze elsewhere in 
this newsletter—to snare studies (the science of interpreting Trump), 
where the real challenge lies in the necessary discernment between 
bullshit and motivated actions, the resolution of which, at least in 
part, leads to the adoption of appropriate countermeasures.
The recent attack on Leo XIV must certainly be seen in this context. In 
our view, it is not a media ploy to divert attention from the failure of 
the war against Iran and the now certain defeat of the United States, 
but rather an urgent need on Trump's part to secure the support of the 
electoral base that elected him.
Continuing along the path blazed by his predecessor, Prevost, he is 
continuing work on an encyclical on digital technology that could be 
titled "Rerum Digitalium," focusing on the centrality of humanity in the 
age of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The papal document should begin 
with labor issues and draw on the teachings of Leo XIII, who drafted 
"Rerum Novarum," innovating the Church's social doctrine to counter 
liberalism, socialism, communism, and anarchism. At the same time, he 
aimed to reinterpret the Church's social doctrine in light of the new 
model of production and labor organization, including the methods and 
conditions of worker exploitation.
The new encyclical's stated primary objective is to place humanity at 
the center of the technological challenge, ensuring an anthropological 
approach to the digital revolution. This aims to warn against the 
ravings of the technotheologicracy of Peter Thiel and Egon Musk and 
their followers, who, in dialogue and merging with evangelical movements 
and mystical currents of Judaism, have formulated a revival of the myth 
of Armageddon and predicted the imminent end of this world, opening the 
doors to a new era that will prepare the new coming of the Messiah with 
a thousand years of peace. Incidentally, one of the conditions for the 
Advent is the reconstruction of the State of Israel in its biblical 
dimensions!
Vatican theologians are supposed to have at their disposal much more 
refined theological tools than the new theotechnologists., to dismiss 
and refute these ravings, the fruit of the perverse messianic vision 
with which Americans are supposedly invested, having come to the new 
world with the Pilgrim Fathers and settled here thanks to a genocide, 
that of the indigenous populations, to bring salvation to humanity, as 
heirs of the thirteenth tribe of Israel, which is not made up of the 
Khazars who converted to Judaism in the eighth century, but of the 
people of the United States who have rejected the corrupt old Europe and 
are destined to lead humanity to happiness.
People of common sense and whose minds are untainted by American 
televangelists—who are accustomed to laying their hands on Trump—would 
dismiss the whole thing, declaring it all solemn bullshit and blatant 
ravings. However, unfortunately, a careful analysis of the facts tells 
us that things are otherwise and that the problem is much more serious 
than we think. This is why Trump fears the effects of the encyclical, 
which would elevate the papal message to the level of magisterial 
teaching, disavowing support for these positions and their 
incompatibility with the doctrine of the Catholic Church.
It is no coincidence that the preparatory work for the encyclical has 
been entrusted to the Augustinian Monsignor Víctor Manuel Fernández, 
prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, charged with 
coordinating the revision and drafting of the document prior to its 
promulgation. The work appears to be at an advanced stage of drafting 
and is proceeding in collaboration with other dicasteries and experts, 
seeking a text that articulates clear criteria for how the Church 
understands the role of AI in contemporary society and how to refute the 
theories and project of technotheologiocracy .

Thiel, Musk, Palantir and their companies

Supporting and advancing the project are Peter Thiel, born in Frankfurt 
in 1967 but raised in South Africa and Namibia (the former German colony 
in Southern Africa), who considers himself a philosopher and theologian, 
is an openly gay man and a staunch opponent of woke culture, which 
effectively monopolizes authoritarian control, and Elon Musk's friend 
and business partner, also raised in South Africa. Both are inspired and 
staunch supporters of apartheid, and were mentored by their friend and 
business partner Roelof Botha, nephew of the foreign minister of the 
racist South African government.
The two partners, who have settled in Silicon Valley, have gradually 
convinced many entrepreneurs and financiers to join their political 
project, which supposedly aims to save Western civilization from 
decadence, or rather, the Apocalypse. Thiel, in particular, is a 
fanatical admirer of The Lord of the Rings . Tolkien, who inspired his 
companies' names and provided symbolic support for his project. One of 
these is the seizure of control of the United States Presidency, and to 
this end, he provided the capital to create a venture capital fund for 
JD Vance, his political godson, whom he nurtured, financed, and promoted 
to the US vice presidency. It's no coincidence that it's called Narya 
Capital, Ring of Fire, one of the three rings of power of the elves.
The two have significant capital, which they amassed by investing in the 
creation of PayPal (Thiel's stake was later sold for $55 million), 
Facebook, and numerous other entrepreneurial ventures. According to 
Forbes, in 2025, Thiel was among the 40 richest people in the US, with a 
net worth of approximately $27.5 billion (Musk earned $156 million). But 
his main source of investment and Thiel's operational tool is Palantir 
Technologies, a company that Francesca Bria, an economist at University 
College London and head of Aerostato's European initiative on digital 
sovereignty, investigating its activities, states: "Palantir is not a 
private company in the strict sense of the term. It is an arm of the US 
national security apparatus. When European governments acquire its 
tools, they are not simply buying software. They are giving up 
sovereignty." Applying Thiel's "techno-theology," which sees the Western 
world's only chance of salvation in the combination of cutting-edge 
technological innovation and unchecked national security, Palantir has put
A set of algorithms aimed at controlling populations and human behavior 
in all fields. For example, Palantir has signed a $30 million contract 
to develop "Immigration," the database used to track and identify people 
subject to deportation to the US. Network and behavior analysis had 
already been applied to the fight against terrorism, used by the Israeli 
army in Gaza to identify and eliminate potential "terrorists." 
Regardless of large margins of error and the identification of innocent 
victims or combat workers, Palantir's algorithms directed an attack on 
an Iranian school, killing 150 girls in a single shot.
It is significant, however, that over 100 of the main European banks, 
asset management companies, insurance companies and pension funds have 
increased their total number of Palantir shares by almost 70%, the value 
of which exploded in 2025.
Strengthened by these results, Thiel descended on Rome to hold his 
propaganda seminars from 15 to 18 March, [1] directly in the city, seat 
of the pontiff from whom he plans to steal the consensus of Catholics, 
starting with the Americans, since he considers Christian believers the 
most fertile breeding ground for his messianic technological ravings .
The pontiff could not help but accept the challenge, especially since 
Thiel marches united with Musk towards the same objective having 
included in his plans the intervention on the biological structure of 
the human being to integrate it with machines and specifically, thanks 
to and with the use of AI to control it, transform it, make it suitable 
to travel the paths of space and prolong its life.

Rome's response

This is why the Pontiff, in continuity with Francis's path, proposes to 
develop the concept of caring for creation, as already stated in the 
Encyclical "Laudato Si'", but redirects and updates its goals, using the 
fight against the "throwaway culture" to combat this new theology of 
technology that aims to transform human beings and at the same time 
aspires to a palingenesis through the Holocaust, producing and 
sponsoring Armageddon , supporting a new form of technocracy of which 
Donald Trump and the evangelical movements, bitter enemies of the 
Catholic Church, are the perfect representation.

[1] Peter Thiel, held a series of private seminars in Rome, attended by 
selected guests, including many prelates. The meetings, entitled “ The 
Biblical Antichrist”, took place at Palazzo Taverna, organised by the 
Vincenzo Gioberti Cultural Association, focusing on apocalyptic themes, 
politics and technology.
