Serious and sincere education about the 1776 artwork ideals of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America in forming the 13 states working together. An attempt to deal with the banalization of the topic that has happened and grown very popular since 1910's or so.

How so many people behave in year 2024 and year 2025:

  1. "Speak American", "Write American", "Write English", "Speak Fox News Speak", "Communicate like Elon Musk on X (Twitter)" demands.

  2. Skin colors; orange, white, brown, black, yellow. And demanding that people have skin colors that are desired.

  3. Religions: Demanding that people interpret religions in ways that they are treated as non-fiction and "One and only one perfect storybook" and that anyone who says that religions have equality with each other and other fiction books is wrong.

  4. Gender: only wanting specific genders, only wanting women, only wanting men. Being very very picky and superficial about what is acceptable in dress codes, fashion, style, presentation of people. “We felt like the Taliban saw us as like little dolls to control, telling us what to do and how to dress."

  5. Telling people who have brain damage or stress problems that they should "get off the Internet" and not allowed to participate on social conversations because they don't think and behave exactly as demanded. Against any kind of diversity in thinking in favor of telling people to "Shut UP'", "Shut the Fuck Up", and "Go away", "Go touch grass", etc - and how they are unwelcome on the Internet.

  6. "Posh" demands. You must have taste for wealth and luxury, you must want the kind of assets Donald Trump and Elon Musk have, you can't be diverse and want simple things. "You must dream of being rich and famous.... Only then will life be painless"

 

Diverse: including or involving people from a range of different social and ethnic backgrounds and of different genders, sexual orientations, etc.

NATO / USA lost the Hybrid War that was launched in March 2013 against the World Wide Web.

  1. Kremlin brags that only 1% of the manipulation Hybrid War content has been discovered and removed. NATO has entirely been unable to defend, 99% flies under the defense radar of Five Eyes (FVEY).

  2. Russian military was able to completely get past USA FBI, CIA, NSA, and whatever else the Pentagon has. Competely unable to defend the population against Russian Hybrid Warfare. "For years, AIVD had access to the infamous Russian hacker group Cozy Bear. That's what de Volkskrant and Nieuwsuur have uncovered in their investigation." "the Dutch intelligence agency AIVD penetrated the computer network of a university adjacent to Red Square back in 2014, only to later realize they had tapped into APT29, aka Cozy Bear, one of the Russian government-affiliated organizations that penetrated the DNC and targeted other US government departments". "It was Dutch intelligence operatives that hacked into some of Russia's own institutions -- including their closed-circuit television cameras."

  3. Putin and Surkov's "Operation Matthew 4:19" global manipulation of everyday people included turning social media consumers into Russian assets of the Hybrid Warfare who deliberately spread measles and COVID-19 virus during the pandemic. Johns Hopkins University and George Washington University validated evidence going back to year 2014.

  4. Absolutely no defense has been found against this Hybrid Warfare since it was unleashed in March 2013. "At the NATO summit in Wales last week, General Philip Breedlove, the military alliance’s top commander, made a bold declaration. Russia, he said, is waging “the most amazing information warfare blitzkrieg we have ever seen in the history of information warfare.” It was something of an underestimation. The new Russia doesn’t just deal in the petty disinformation, forgeries, lies, leaks, and cyber-sabotage usually associated with information warfare. It reinvents reality, creating mass hallucinations"

Counter Vlad Surkov techniques and methods

Introduction to the Kremlin media techniques of year 2014

  1. Peter Pomerantsev September 9, 2014: Russia and the Menace of Unreality. How Vladimir Putin is revolutionizing information warfare

  2. Adam Curtis, BBC, December 31, 2014: On The "Contradictory Vaudeville" Of Post-Modern Politics - "What this film is going to suggest is that that defeatist response has become a central part of a new system of political control. And to understand how this is happening, you have to look to Russia, to a man called Vladislav Surkov, who is a hero of our time. Surkov is one of President Putin's advisers, and has helped him maintain his power for 15 years, but he has done it in a very new way."

  3. Book reading from December 5, 2014 on the subject by Peter Pomerantsev

Now I don't say a word but I definitely don't feel sorry for him. He voted for this. Now he can suffer from his poor choices.

He / MAGA values never felt sorry for you as a worker, so now the whole population is in agreement to adopt what Elon Musk has promoted "empathy bad", "goodness bad", "assert dehumanization and hate those you disagree with" values of Twitter-think Tweeting-reactionary thinking to all problems in USA. MAGA was the first to fall to the Kremlin's 5,000 alternate reality screen games released on Twitter / Facebook / Reddit in March 2013, nobody has protected or defended the least-educated least-understanding least-comprehending in society, and now since January 2024 - everyone has adopted MAGA values in response to complex and difficult problems. Surkov won.

I am not hopeless, Canada may very well have the Marshall McLuhan spirit alive enough to lead the USA population into self-awareness of what Twitter-thinking / Tweet-length thoughts and reaction-Tweeting has done to society, the Twitter White House / Elon Musk Twitter medium venue / Kingdom of memes has done against reason thinking. Neil Postman, New York University (Donald's Trump's upbringing / home town) was correct about predicting Donald Trump way back in 1985, four decades ago.

Did Tolkien gaslit the entire world of literature and film into thinking that the ring was powerful and useful?

The problem is literacy, the reader of the book, the audience of the film. People don't comprehend "rings of power" and what too much power does to leadership of any cult media system, religion, storybook, etc. People who think waging war and using power to crush the little people of the world is goodness have a massive problem comprehending stories and lessons.

gaslit the entire world

The world was already being gaslit by clergy long before Tolkien and James Joyce were born, clergy who convince people fiction is non-fiction. Tolkien was trying to make the fiction even more fictiony to get the point across what clergy was dong to the entire world throughout history.

This is Trump’s revenge on America. He’s punishing the people for trying to hold him accountable and charging him with HIS crimes.

The problem is not one single man, the problem is no longer even just Fox News HDTV entire audience of year 2013, the problem is an entire population - even those not able to legally vote, even people outside the nation, who can't teach cult deprogramming and address the Fox News HDTV media cults, and the Twitter meme and message cults, and the Bible shit-reading hate-reading meme and message cults.

We have a massive problem of everyone flocking to garbage signals and anti-reality since year 2013. There are more people who have a diaper-discussion fetish about Donald Trump and skin-color is orange racial topic than we have anyone able to assert that the entire population is behaving like cult members to dumb-shit Reality Twitter content.

I don't think we ever left it.

The whole "conservative vs. liberal", "left vs right" bi-polar thinking seems more about maintaining Dark Ages anti-understanding or something. I find American conservatives worship technology, they adopt any machine system / computer system they can find, the only "conservative" Americans I have met are Amish in Indiana and Pennsylvania (I lived with them in Grabill Indiana).

How can anyone consider Donald Trump a "conservative"? He has been parading around the world stage since 2012 to become President, and in none of that time has he been a "conservative".

Welcome back to the Dark Ages.

Is it because Donald Trump has a $59.99 Bible, that makes him a "conservative", but Bible verse Matthew 6:5 and Bible verse "1 John 3:17" both spell out that Donald Trump does not have love in his heart. It's a failure of literacy with the Bible, a reading comprehension problem to skip past important verses.

He is a Playboy that has private jets, lives in a Penthouse in NYC.

Being deceptive and misleading does not make you a "conservative", it makes you inauthentic. The Amish in Indiana I grew up with are not inauthentic. Believing Fox News HDTV doesn't make you a "conservative", it means you prefer fiction television and drama instead of reality news (non-fiction) about the real world.

That is what the "Dark Ages" were, people who avoided reality in favor of fiction storytelling. They didn't understand germs and diseases, they didn't even know to wash your hands to stop spreading disease in a hospital.

Is that the "Dark Ages" that RFK Jr, Donald Trump and others are conserving?

Trump's descent into fascism is worse than we could have predicted (UK news source, not domestic USA) - this was all predicted by Peter Pomerantsev + Christopher Wylie, but everyone avoids learning how Hybrid Warfare works

"Trump's descent into fascism is worse than we could have predicted"
"The situation is far, far worse than we anticipated"
April 28, 2025

If these peace terms are as reported, they are a historic betrayal. Nothing in American history would come near to it. It would side the US squarely and definitively with dictatorship. It would mark the collapse of Western values across the Atlantic.

You can write about this stuff over and over again. You can print page after page and commit sentence after sentence, but the cold reality of the words still strikes you like a slap to the face. The brutal, remorseless logic of what is happening is almost impossible to bear. And yet, if we have any chance of getting through this period with our principles intact, it will be by speaking honestly and precisely about what is taking place.

An Axios news agency report – rejected by the Kremlin – says that Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg will hand a full US-approved peace proposal to Ukrainian officials during a meeting in London on Wednesday. If that deal is as reported, it is a near-complete capitulation to Russian demands.

"What to Understand" is "Media content fetish"

The problem is not Donald Trump, it is an audience with poopy-diapers fetish, with pee-pee-video-tape fetish (media content fetish in audiences), who can't comprehend or think anymore. Famous people they want pee pee and poopy diaper fetish content to see, any media star, men and women alike, as long as they are famous / iconic / symbolic. Donald Trump has openly said "when you are a star" people flock to your sexuality.

 

"What to Understand" is that it isn't just one person, Donald Trump

 

"I don't really understand the notion that he's being blackmailed." - Monday April 28, 2025 Reddit comment

The "Manchurian population", the entire population of cult members to Donald Trump images and Donald Trump messages / content, are not being blackmailed. Just like Mecca and Saudi Arabia, people are not being blackmailed. It is a misunderstanding of the situation in a democracy driven by media popularity and Reality TV + Reality Twitter values, to think that blackmail of a single person is the force. The force here is hundreds of millions of people, the population of United States of America, who are attracted to the total mockery and mocking that Donald Trump creates. That is his power, not a single person with crimes being blackmailed, but understanding that this is an entire nation who has adopted the values, communications system usage, and thinking of Twitter-think that Donald Trump and Elon Musk (owner of Twitter) promote. This is everyone, not just one man.

How this attitude and crowd behavior, mob mentality, actually prevents progress and change.

 

Attention USA: “When Are More Americans Going to Speak Up?” - Mocking MAGA all day every day is not "Speaking Up" about the mockery, it is being a part of the total mockery. People are unable to be serious.

https://www.newyorker.com/podcast/the-new-yorker-radio-hour/cory-booker-america-needs-moral-leadership-and-not-political-leadership

"This is a time when America needs moral leadership, and not political leadership."

“And so as much as we want to point a finger at people who are elected to positions, which is justified, I also want to ask a lot of other powerful people in this country who are remaining silent. We’ve seen what many corporate leaders are doing right now—instead of speaking up and speaking truth, they’re kowtowing for their own private deals.”

 

Donald Trump can "pull the rug out, rug underneath" by changing the entire surrounding media environment, bending reality around the topic and subject to be Twitter-thinking Tweet-think values and anti-comprehension anti-understanding. That is the Donald Trump super talent and skill, re-framing topics into dumb-fuck meme thinking.

Everything, no matter how complex, becomes dominated by Donald Trump's over-simplification reactionary thinking in USA society.

Understand USA: Americans can not resist Absurd Surreal Comedy: You Are Not Scared Enough - Back during the campaign, Trump pretended his “Dictator on Day 1” talk was just a joke. One hundred days in, it’s clear he was not joking.

 

Americans are entirely unable to resist absurd comedy
American people can not defend against surreal antics if they think it is a joke
American people are easily manipulated using surreal humor methods
American people are unable to defend against absurd humor techniques
American people are unable to defend their hearts and minds against antics "Contradictory Vaudeville" leadership methods
American people will believe and accept "winning" if done via electric media machines if you insult and mock using surreal comedy and absurd humor, be it HDTV news media systems, Twitter media, Truth Social media, etc.
American people are entirely unable to sober up from surreal comedy, absurd humor, meme stupors, to use intellectual reason thinking systems, people can not resist Donald Trump methods

WASHINGTON — However scared you might be for our democracy, you are not scared enough.

The president of the United States, from the moment he regained the office, has been step-by-step following the autocrat’s playbook. He has gone after universities for not obeying his decrees. He has extorted law firms for having on staff, or just once-upon-a-time having had on staff, people who crossed him. He has targeted for prosecution former aides who challenged him. He has arrested a local judge for not helping him round up migrants for deportation. He has attacked the free press for not bending to his will. On his very first day in office, he released from prison hundreds of domestic terrorists, effectively a personal militia, who assaulted police officers in his name.

And now, not 100 days into his term, he has done what so many democracy advocates have feared he would eventually do, something that no president has dared try in the more than two centuries since Marbury v. Madison’s precedent that the judiciary would be the ultimate authority on what is and what is not legal: He is straight-up defying the United States Supreme Court.

And — here is the truly terrifying part — he is getting away with it. No one is getting fined. No one is going to jail. In fact, much of America doesn’t even realize it’s happening.

 

All documented since 2014, but Americans can not mentally overcome the power of surreal comedy and absurd humor of the Kremlin and White House

 

All this is documented in a 2014 book, published more than a decade ago, but Americans can not overcome their attraction to surreal comedy and absurd humor mental exploits of this dark humor and engage a printed book on the subject.

"The brilliance of this new type of authoritarianism is that instead of simply oppressing opposition, as had been the case with twentieth-century strains, it climbs inside all ideologies and movements, exploiting and rendering them absurd.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia, published 2014

  1. Johns Hopkins University. "Vaccination was being used by trolls and sophisticated bots as a "wedge issue", said Mark Dredze from Johns Hopkins University."

  2. George Washington University: "A significant portion of the online discourse about vaccines may be generated by malicious actors with a range of hidden agendas," said David Broniatowski from George Washington University.

  3. Going back to year 2014: "Troll accounts that had attempted to influence the US election had also been tweeting about vaccines, a study says. Many posted both pro- and anti-vaccination messages to create "false equivalency", the study found. It examined thousands of tweets sent between 2014 and 2017."

  4. Source is Russia / Kremlin: "The researchers reviewed more than 250 tweets about vaccination from accounts linked to the St Petersburg-based Internet Research Agency (IRA)"
