Some #hope for recovering #TrumpVIrus / #GQP victims and #media / #cult believers ?? Compassion and "welcome" to the survivors of 'programming'/'mind control' such as seen in cults, are notoriously difficult to bring back from their alternate world, where #truth is said to be #lies and #evil is accepted as good.

Let them realize at their own comfort speed that their Emperor is wearing no #cognitive or moral clothes. They've been duped, but are ok now.....


TrumpVirus the Stable ( #evil ) ‘Genius’, Toddler King, & Emperor with terrific #cognitive clothes... Proclamation!:

#Dictatorship in, #Democracy out…

In response to the LA Times story on AI insights and the KKK:

A long, long time ago even before social media became the thing it has, BBC Sport Online experimented with getting 'news from the pitch' - i.e., viewers' coverage of matches. It did not last long.

But the writing was on the wall. It signalled major change in what was legit news and a source. (1/n)

My first reactions (in real-time) to Lord #TrumpVirus and his delusions of terrific-ness "like nobody's ever seen before". (Count the times he said that! Or the lies. Or delusions.)

#truth #division #ThinkingThings #Quotes

Seems like this quote not from Nelson Mandela but a UN representative.

Social media users have been sharing a quote about divisions in the world and misattributing it to former South African President Nelson Mandela.
This is the quote: “Our world is not divided by race, color, gender or religion. Our world is divided into wise people and fools. And fools divide themselves by race, color, gender, or religion.” An example of the misattribution can be seen here here .
An online search shows that the quote came from human rights activist and United Nations representative Mohamad Safa. Safa posted it on Twitter and Facebook on Aug. 6, 2020 ( here , here ).
Safa said the words were his, not Mandela’s, on his Facebook page on Sept. 6, here . Safa’s media office told Reuters it wanted “to emphasize that these words were said by Mr. Safa years ago.”
Our world is not divided by race, colour, gender, or religion. 

Our world is divided into wise people and fools.

And fools divide themselves by race, colour, gender, or religion.

Nelson Mandela.


“In a free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps,” the White House press group said.

#freepress means #truth in #journalism not totalitarian authoritarianism which prefers the lies we refer to as #propaganda ...


"“This is basically telling #USAID personnel not to tell the #truth about what they have seen,” Jeremy Konyndyk, a former senior USAID official, told me, adding that this functionally commands USAID staff to “get in line with the #propaganda narrative.”

Yet the memo also shows that USAID leaks are infuriating #Trump officials precisely because they are exposing the horrifying consequences of the Trump-Musk efforts to cripple this agency."

#Musk #Trump #News #US #USPol
Text from article:
This assistance—which includes aid for lifesaving food, shelter, and medicine—has gotten bogged down as USAID employees and groups that partner with the agency to distribute these things have struggled to access government funding streams halted by Trump. (A judge has ordered the funds to continue.) In one case, Musk claimed that the administration had restarted some disease-prevention funding, but it remains frozen, the Times reported.

The directive ordering USAID employees to refrain from discussing this with the press represents an unnerving turn in this saga, given how ugly and blatant it is. “This is basically telling USAID personnel not to tell the truth about what they have seen,” Jeremy Konyndyk, a former senior USAID official, told me, adding that this functionally commands USAID staff to “get in line with the propaganda narrative.”

Yet the memo also shows that USAID leaks are infuriating Trump officials precisely because they are exposing the horrifying consequences of the Trump-Musk efforts to cripple this agency.


Quick & scary-as- s*@$ backstory to Elon's data hacking.

Katie Couric: This is how news becomes propaganda. It’s begun. Pay attention.

No more "failing NY Times" or network news in the Pentagon, to check in on Hegseth. In fact, this neat memo describes the new era as "giving back" the spot at news coverage which was "on loan". Gee, I thought democracy and free press were sort of permanent,
:-(

Yin/yang of pardons

If only this were true! … We can now speak #truth, right here, there, and everywhere! Without fear of #TrumpVirus retribution?

Nah… just kidding. This (link to article below) is what Trump actually did, his “focus”, and priorities being in celebrating Sir #TrumpVIrus & his #cult of #disinformation #media following of #Jan6 #felons & #truth deniers.

Cartoon by Mike Luckovich

President (outgoing) Joe Biden sits at a desk in the Oval Office, yellow curtains, family photos and flag behind him. He addresses the nation:

"MY FELLOW AMERICANS, TO PROTECT YOU FROM TRUMP, YOU'RE ALL PARDONED..."


Sad day for #democracy, #environment, #rights, and #truth - but hey, laugh, clowns, laugh...

Cartoon by Mike Luckovich

Amid a #GQP / #TrumpVirus #media/#disinformation #cult - it is important
to stay 'woke' to #truth & maintain #hope

#Sanity / sobriety will somehow return, and with that some restoration of #respect for #law & #Wethepeople without billion$ or delusions that anything Sir StableGenius tries to sell.
Cartoon by Mike Luckovich:
Grump is seen in profile at the inauguration podium, labeled
"Trump Inauguration - 2025"

A collection of VIP's, the SCOTUS Justice, family, etc. are overflowing with laughter, tears in their eyes, mouths-open laughter, as the Justice begins the swearing in:

"DO YOU SWEAR TO, BWA-HA-HA, UPHOLD, THE BWA-HA-HA, CONSTIT... 

WAIT 
LEMME, GIGGLE, GIGGLE START OVER..."


As America enjoys its last day of #respect for #law, #truth & #democracy. :-(

> ‘Sheep for hire’: Trump, Musk and Zuckerberg’s dangerous plan for Europe

https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20250117-sheep-for-hire-trump-musk-and-zuckerberg-s-dangerous-plan-for-europe

> The [EU] has long been one of the safest digital spaces for internet users. But that was before Donald Trump’s imminent return to the White House and before two of today's tech titans – Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg – were essentially handed carte blanche to declare war on the EU’s digital defences.

>> What Zuckerberg's capitulation means for the truth and our democracy

> "... Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads, will no longer fact-check user posts on its platforms..."

Instead he's going to do like Elon in #Muskville, and let #truth be crowd-sourced. A far cry from 'responsible" press enjoying 'free speech'.w/ #Truth

On one side of a body of water is a mass with a banner labeling them "INFORMED VOTERS".

Across the water is another mass of people, with a banner labeling them as "UNINFORMED VOTERS".

Sad #truth - as #history - like #fascism elsewhere, with #propaganda and #doublespeak the only ‘official’ “news” - repeats. Sir #TrumpVirus has learned from history, but his #cult & our #media, not so much. :-(

#democracy #fascism #inauguration
Cartoon by Chan Lowe (2016)

Captioned "Inauguration Day", Sir Trump is standing at a podium, being sworn in to office, Capitol behind him, Melania next to him.  As Trump extends his arm outward, fingers straight, in an exact imitation of Hitler's famous gesture, he is told, 
"NO... YOUR HAND GOES ON THE *BIBLE*."
