The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time; the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against a solid reality, usually on a battlefield.

A quotation from Hannah Arendt
Mass propaganda discovered that its audience was ready at all times to believe the worst, no matter how absurd, and did not particularly object to being deceived because it held every statement to be a lie anyhow. The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 11 “The Totalitarian Movement,” sec. 2 (1951)More about this quote: wist.info/arendt-hannah/41783/

Schrödinger's war:
A deal has been made : A deal hasn't been made
Here's the agreed upon text of the deal : That text is fake and not agreed upon
Oil is getting through Hormuz : No oil is passing through
There's a ceasefire : There's no ceasefire
Bombing has stopped : Bombing continues
Iran's military is destroyed : Iran's military is downing helicopters, launching missiles, hitting targets
More than anything the #iranwar is a war for your mind.

Trump versus The Pope
==================
Ring a Ding Ding!
Two guys from a pedo ring,
fighting & mudslinging.
Both make a living,
from human suffering.
One thinks he is king,
the other, that he has wings.
Watch them come out swinging.
Get popcorn & a seat by the ring. 🍿
This should be interesting.
Hark! The demons sing!Trump is demolishing a so-called democracy.
( https://we-glue-earth.gitlab.io/when-was-america-great/
)The pope sits on a pile of gold looted with genocide from all over the world for centuries, in a private city state in the middle of Rome, and professes poverty, puts on a show of washing the poor people's feet, hides behind bullet-proof glass, protects pedophiles, wears a dress & tells people that being gay is a sin. The pope could issue an edict for all catholics to resign from the armed forces. Will he do that? The pope is a fairy, see?
( https://rant.li/ashwin/why-i-am-also-not-a-christian )Telling the Truth is like taking an opium addict's rock of opium away. They react angrily, in pain from withdrawal symptoms. Cognitive Dissonance is painful.

Yes, #cult messaging & dependency on a Supreme leader who endeavors to 'program' thought patterns by 'association' and repetition. ✓
Ask Goebbels. 1984Lots of research on #cults and also on 'deprogramming', which is quite resistant, given the strong foundation and 'wiring', along with 'peer pressure' and #CognitiveDissonance.
And then there is the "Stockholm Syndrome".
All good until the conclusion, not so simple as "stupid people... easy to program". https://bit.ly/Sostupid

The spat vividly illustrated a psychological phenomenon called the “meat paradox”: the #cognitivedissonance and deep discomfort people feel when their behavior of eating meat and other animal products clashes with their fondness for #animals.

"Help Save Jesus"
One can reach one's higher power through any number of ways. Some are better than others, and history bears witness.
Having a book or a teacher is fine.
Fancy words are Ok.
Yet, the ultimate Truth is in the outcome. Does the religion make people better? Do they make the world better?With regard to Christianity, there are three types of people:
1. Good Christians
2. Bad Christians
3. Non-ChristiansGood Christians ( sheep ) act as the cover for the Bad Christians ( wolves ).
Bad Christians have so much blood on their hands, they killed 2 people, every minute, of every hour, of every day, 24x7, non-stop, for 100 years. And that was just last century.
So good Christians should:
1. stop turning a blind eye to the Bad Christians.
2. stop trying to preach to the Non-Christians.
3. turn to the Bad Christians and talk with them. Get their own house in order, before they dare preach to others, through pamphlets, brochures, media advertising, or door to door proselytizing etc. Jesus is in need of being saved, or the world will learn the Truth of history, and the Christian church, die out within a generation.#Earth #religion #Jesus #Christ #Christian #Christianity #church #bible #catholic #catholicism #truth #philosophy

In nationalist thought there are facts which are both true and untrue, known and unknown. A known fact may be so unbearable that it is habitually pushed aside and not allowed to enter into logical processes, or on the other hand it may enter into every calculation and yet never be admitted as a fact, even in one’s own mind.

A wake-up call for #WhiteAmericans
The deaths of #ReneeGood and #AlexPretti are forcing white people to face hard truths about power and violence
By Chauncey DeVega, Senior Writer, February 1, 2026
"None of what we have seen over the past few weeks — not the shooting deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis at the hands of federal officers, the seizure of children by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agents, the callous disregard of civil rights and liberties from an increasingly authoritarian administration — is supposed to be happening in America. But it is.
"American citizens are being arrested and brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights — recording ICE, standing nearby or simply being the 'wrong' color in the wrong place. The Trump administration has labeled these Americans 'domestic terrorists,' claiming they posed existential threats to heavily armed federal agents, despite clear video evidence to the contrary. Immigrants are hiding, afraid to go outside. Entire neighborhoods and communities are under siege. Even though it’s only January, at least eight people have died from their encounters with ICE.
"The #CognitiveDissonance is dizzying. #Disorientation is one of the #authoritarian leader’s most powerful weapons.
"Hours after Pretti was killed on Jan. 24, hundreds of people protested near the site in Minneapolis where he died. There, an older white woman told a reporter that 'the government is not supposed to be doing these horrible things to the American people. It is unbelievable. This is something like Nazi Germany or Russia.'
"I yelled at the television. 'What d**n country do you live in?'
"But her sentiments are common among people who are gathering at protests, community meetings and town halls all across the country.
"Like many other white Americans, and too many Black and brown Americans, she seemed willfully ignorant of her own country’s history, which includes #genocide and #LandTheft against #FirstNations; white-on-Black chattel #slavery; #JimCrow and #JaneCrow; the #BlackCodes; the #RedScare; violent social and political repression of #LGBTQ Americans; the #PalmerRaids; mass #incarceration and the #WarOnDrugs, to name just a few examples."

A quotation from Wendell Berry
We make war, we are told, for the love of peace. We subvert our Bill of Rights and impose our will abroad for the sake of freedom and the rule of law. We honor greed and waste with the name of economy. We allow ever greater wealth and power to accumulate in the hands of a privileged few only to provide jobs for working people and charity to the poor. And we sanctify all this as Christian, though the Gospels support none of it by so much as a line or a word.
Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist

Near eighty years ago we began by declaring that all men are created equal; but now from that beginning we have run down to the other declaration, that for some men to enslave others is a “sacred right of self-government.” These principles can not stand together. They are as opposite as God and mammon; and whoever holds to the one, must despise the other.
