Major business executive sparks internal chaos at Financial Times as op-ed reveals Trump’s Covid expose plans

Tech billionaire Peter Thiel has stoked internal war in a major newsroom after writing an op-ed about Trump’s plans for the deep state in American politics.

The 57-year-old wrote a piece called ‘A Time for Truth and Reconciliation’ for the Financial Times and discusses how the Internet and its “pre-Internet keepers of secrets” have kept Americans in the dark on many a controversial topic over the years.

Thiel, a Trump supporter, wrote about the Distributed Idea Suppression Complex (DISC), referring to this topic to media organizations, bureaucracies, universities, and government-funded nonprofit, citizen-based groups “that traditionally defined the public conversation.”

‘Trump’s return to the White House portends the apokálypsis [unveiling] of the secrets of the old regime.

“The new administration’s revelations need not justify revenge; reconstruction can go hand in hand with reconciliation. But before there can be reconciliation, there must first be truth,” Thiel said.

In particular, he referred to alleged secrets surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic and how newly elected President Donald Trump should answer the questions of the American people.

“Did they suspect that Covid arose from American taxpayer-funded research, or from an adjacent Chinese military program?” Thiel asked in his piece.

‘Why did we fund the work of the EcoHealth Alliance, which sent researchers to remote Chinese caves to extract new coronaviruses? Is gain of function research a synonym for a bioweapons program? And how has our government been able to stop the spread of such questions on social media?”

In pleading for such questions to be answered, Thiel was referencing other times when the American people – and in fact the entire World Wide Web – have been left in the dark at the hands of the Internet and the “DISC.”

These included Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide in prison in 2019, which Thiel said nearly half of Americans surveyed distrusted the official story and suggested that ‘DISC’ had lost control of the narrative.

Another referenced the assassination of John F. Kennedy, where he claimed that 65 percent of Americans still doubt that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.

“Perhaps an exceptional country could have continued to ignore such questions, but as Trump understood in 2016, America is not an exceptional country. It’s not even great anymore,” Thiel wrote.

His call for the incoming president to hand over these answers led to much criticism.

Financial Times columnist Edward Luce described the piece as “in the spirit of a Silicon Valley fanatic.”

‘Peter Thiel makes an Orwellian analogy between contemporary liberal democracy and South African apartheid – and calls for a truth and reconciliation commission to expose the crimes of the American ‘Ancien regime’. Beyond crazy,” Luce wrote on BlueSky.

Comments on his article ranged from support to confusion as readers tried to understand what Thiel was saying.

‘Practical Mr. Thiel. And forgiveness should only come after the censorship has been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, to ensure that a new high censor will never emerge again,” said one.

‘Peter Thiel profiles himself as a conspiracy theorist in the Financial Times. Beautiful,” one commenter wrote.

Another wrote: ‘This incoherent editorial would never have been published in the FT if it had been written by a non-billionaire. That said, it is a salutary example of what happens to your mind when your information diet fails to distinguish between fact and opinion.”

‘Thanks for posting original ideas despite the NPC class complaints in the comments. The truth hurts,” one person commented.

‘I understand the criticism of the FT for publishing this, but I would like to applaud the editors for giving me the opportunity to find out what one of the most powerful people in the US believes, and what arguments he is trying to make. build. usage. What he says is nonsense, but important nonsense,” wrote another.
