What a shock…I have been barred from Peter Thiel’s Nashville Antichrist lectures despite buying a ticket. Was it something I said? As the world’s foremost expert on Thiel’s Antichrist obsession, I take great umbrage. This aggression will be answered.

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

“When Silicon Valley says it is ‘moving fast and breaking things,’ the world interprets the chaos as a necessary cost of innovation. @gilduran.com reveals something far more sinister: a decades-long campaign to replace elected governments with corporate rule.” Seems like a REALLY important book.
Cover of the new best-selling book “The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy.” By Gil Duran.

Update: YouTube appears to be backing down from their threat. We’ll know for sure on Saturday, when we are “scheduled” for deletion. But the false complaints have disappeared and videos have been restored. Thanks to all who helped us make noise. It got someone’s attention. I’ll keep you posted.
