" “How did I get to the point where I am upset with this current administration?” Joe Szimhart journey from a self-described “cult believer” to a leading expert on esoteric religious movements… We are coming together because we are on alert about the dangerous overlap between authoritarian influence and today’s political landscape. Our conversation reveals a sobering truth: self-indoctrination can be just as powerful as formal brainwashing—and no one is immune. Being well-read won’t help you to avoid getting recruited into a cult. Nor will being highly intelligent protect you and or being happy. We talk about Agni Yoga and Church Universal & Triumphant cults- and how Vladimir Putin and his wife were devotees of Agni Yoga & Michael Flynn did a “decree” from Elizabeth Clare Prophet’s cult. Flynn traveled the USA with the Moonies cult for their Rod Of Iron Freedom Festivals recruiting for Trump and the supposed “civil war” to come."—MeidasTouch Network, Dr. Steven Hassan

#Dugin’s Eurasianist theories have been used to justify #Russia’s #wars, interference in Western politics, and violent #geopolitical strategies. But I guess normalizing Russian #imperialism and #fascism is just the next step in restoring trade relations and lifting #sanctions.

Some of #Dugin’s most extreme fantasies – #wars, #occupations, and ethnic cleansings – are unfolding in #Ukraine and #Georgia. The final outcome is still uncertain, but his vision is being carried out in real-time.

#Dugin called for destabilizing the #US by exacerbating internal divisions. Fast forward to today: culture #wars, #conspiracy theories, far-right lunatics, and social media algorithms doing half the work for him.

It became hard to discern what is truth or not in post-truth times when insane governments appear to mainly act on selfish and/or bigoted impulses.
That said the majority of USA citizens have ancestral roots tracing back to colonizers, while the true indigenous people of the first nations lands are the Native Americans.
And by the way, Donald Trump maternal grandparents, Elizabeth Christ Trump (née Kühn) & Friedrich Christ Trump, were immigrants from Germany who came to the United States during the late 19th century.

“The #Signal #leak was never about an #app. It was a diagnostic stain, exposing the rot festering beneath the Mythic US’s #veneer of #democracy and #law. The fleeting obsession with #encryption #protocols and personnel errors encapsulated the farce: a society expertly trained by its #distraction #machine to fixate on trivialities while the Operational US – the militarist-oligarchic core – wages #illegal #wars with #psychopathic #impunity”
"What #Vance and his colleagues seem to have forgotten, though, is that what #America now wants — essentially for other #countries to have the capability to fight #wars all by themselves — is exactly what, until very recently, America did not want at all."

This is also why they are in support of #ABA, #conversion therapy, denying #trans kids #puberty blockers, putting #cops in #school, destroying the #education system, refusing to pay for #schoollunches, #wars & #genocides that kill swathes of #children overseas, those "troubled #teen" camps & #child marriage.
"It’s hard to understand the economic logic of President Trump’s tariffs. In our last episode, we tried, but with limited success. And that might be because the logic here isn’t entirely economic at all. So we wanted to spend an episode looking at Trump’s economic policies through a wider lens.
Gillian Tett is a columnist at The Financial Times and a member of its editorial board. She’s also a trained anthropologist with a Ph.D. And she brings both perspectives into this conversation — exploring Trump’s policies as economics, as well as power politics, patronage and cultural messaging — which I think makes the whole thing make a bit more sense."—The Ezra Klein Show
Is Trump ‘Detoxing’ the Economy or Poisoning It? >

@breadandcircuses
This is how "civilized" people behave - everywhere. We poison and destroy everything we touch. 
#industry #wars #tourism ... including ourselves.
Sometimes I suspect that nature is now using a kind of “kill switch” in our species, set now to "suicide mode".
...or how can we explain everything we are (not) doing right now?
It's paradoxical that all this #technofeudalists shows us a future where cities are populated by robots and #AI, and #wars are full of #people.
What is evident is
that #Americans have not understood who they are dealing with
American still believe they have 'political opponents'
to be 'democratically' contrasted with 'protests'
#Trump #Musk The #MAGAs are NOT 'political opponents'
They are #fascists who take ower #America and are dismantling it violently
America fought TWO #World #Wars against fascists
Thousands of Americans DIED to FIGHT the fascists
today you have fascists at home
in power
And all you do is ... protest ?
