Unified Theory of Fiction & Non-fiction. There is a crisis regarding religion believers and non-believers about not understanding metaphors. This often results in violence, hate, and even terrorism, crusades, and warfare between groups.
Russia beat the USA!
Vlad Putin beat the USA!
Vlad Surkov defeated the entire nation of the USA!
The Surkov Screenplay has bamboozled the USA!!!
“Science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking. I have a foreboding (year 1995) of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time—when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance. As I write, the number-one videocassette rental in America is the movie Dumb and Dumber. “Beavis and Butthead” remain popular (and influential) with young TV viewers. The plain lesson is that study and learning—not just of science, but of anything—are avoidable, even undesirable.” ― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, 1995
Carl Sagan, teacher and educator, who was often in mass media systems was not the first to give the warning about loss of society to media systems of "10 seconds or less" behaviors, memes that fit the Apple iPhone screen size, HDTV Fox News, etc. A decade earlier in 1985, Neil Postman (educator / teacher) also made a prediction about America's future.
"My dad predicted Trump in 1985 – it's not Orwell, he warned, it's Brave New World. The ascent of Donald Trump has proved Neil Postman’s argument in Amusing Ourselves to Death was right." - Andrew Postman. February 2, 2017
This is the USA Sunday April 20, 2025.
NATO / USA lost the Hybrid War that was launched in March 2013 against the World Wide Web.
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).
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."
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.
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"
those of us that practice such things are considered “evil” by the people that pretend they are his followers.
Since the Roman Empire took over Christianity around year 380, they inverted the meaning.
And a few other key verses: Romans 11:32, "1 John 3:17" on wealth, Galatians 3:28 (there is no male or female gender, trans-gender, etc).
In fact, all 3 major Levant religions get it ass-backwards, it isn't just Bible clergy and Church venues.

"There is nothing more tragic than to see an individual whose heart is filled with hate. He comes to the point that he becomes a pathological case. For the person who hates, you can stand up and see a person and that person can be beautiful, and you will call them ugly. For the person who hates, the beautiful becomes ugly and the ugly becomes beautiful. For the person who hates, the good becomes bad and the bad becomes good. For the person who hates, the true becomes false and the false becomes true. That's what hate does. You can't see right. The symbol of objectivity is lost." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Is there a specific event where a city stopped issuing permits to feed homeless
Anti-humanism abounds, mass dehumanization is popular in America.
"a city ordinance passed in 2012 mandating that groups get permission from property owners, even if on public property, to distribute food to more than five people."
Bible verse Matthew 18:20: "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." - I'm sure they forget to Thump that verse in Texas along with "1 John 4:20" and "1 John 3:17". Romans 11:32 upon them all!

Thank you, I'll fix it.
I REALLY hope trump is just actively destroying the US either in the name of putin
People won't discuss that this was all planned in a November 2013 Moscow meeting and announced one month later in December 2013... shortly before the February 2014 Ukraine invasion. https://lemmy.world/post/27627662/16165977
Are we talking about the same person? Trumps ramblings are more incoherent than ever.
Yes, his chaos and nonsense has gotten more aggressive, even stronger in favor of Russia, etc.
When you ask countries you just threatened to invade for help with your inflation.
What's happening is that people under the influence of Russian mental manipulation are doing what I call "Surkov Information Warfare", "Surkov Governing". NO DEFENSE HAS BEEN FOUND, POPULATIONS COMPULSIVELY MOCK-BACK AND YIELD POWER TO THESE TECHNIQUES, IT IS HORRIFIC HOW MANY HAVE LOST THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS TO THESE METHODS.
“In the twenty-first century the techniques of the political technologists have become centralized and systematized, coordinated out of the office of the presidential administration, where Surkov would sit behind a desk on which were phones bearing the names of all the “independent” party leaders, calling and directing them at any moment, day or night. 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. One moment Surkov would fund civic forums and human rights NGOs, the next he would quietly support nationalist movements that accuse the NGOs of being tools of the West. With a flourish he sponsored lavish arts festivals for the most provocative modern artists in Moscow, then supported Orthodox fundamentalists, dressed all in black and carrying crosses, who in turn attacked the modern art exhibitions. The Kremlin’s idea is to own all forms of political discourse, to not let any independent movements develop outside of its walls. Its Moscow can feel like an oligarchy in the morning and a democracy in the afternoon, a monarchy for dinner and a totalitarian state by bedtime.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia, 2014
When you ask countries you just threatened to invade for help with your inflation.
"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.
He came originally from the avant-garde art world, and those who have studied his career, say that what Surkov has done, is to import ideas from conceptual art into the very heart of politics.
His aim is to undermine peoples' perceptions of the world, so they never know what is really happening.
Surkov turned Russian politics into a bewildering, constantly changing piece of theater. He sponsored all kinds of groups, from neo-Nazi skinheads to liberal human rights groups. He even backed parties that were opposed to President Putin." - 2014
I encourage you to watch the whole video: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2014/12/31/bbcs_adam_curtis_on_the_contradictory_vaudeville_of_post-modern_politics.html
People under the influence of these LOL patterns of governing often show characteristics of being unwilling to discuss and name the techniques, their years of origin, which nation they originated in, etc. Often they will praise egoism and self-centeredness in how they react to information on the subject of being bamboozled in information warfare.
The second it’s validated and becomes public knowledge, it’s no longer “privileged” knowledge and no longer makes them feel special for “knowing” a “secret truth”
Ahh, the (2 thousand year old) Bible verse Romans 11:33 theory of James Joyce's work ;)
Agreed. It is urgent that we teach Neil Postman's "media ecology". The junk noise garbage shit Internet sucks, and enough is enough!
Way back in October 31st 1517 finally one of the clergy got so fed up reading the damn book that they said, "Sin Boldly" and said... read here, verse Romans 11:32 ... romans1132.com
The book is so full of contradictions and that's the power. It cuts both ways.
“Ours is the first age in which many thousands of the best-trained individual minds have made it a full-time business to get inside the collective public mind.” ― Marshall McLuhan, The Mechanical Bride : Folklore of Industrial Man, year 1951
