The Nine Principles Of Propaganda.

[graphic by Dennis Presiloski]

We're bombarded by propaganda during every waking hour. Often it's hard to spot, and it frequently comes from sources we think we can trust. To help you spot when you're being manipulated, here's are nine principles of propaganda. Some of these may have been used on you today. Or if not, be on the lookout tomorrow. Propaganda never takes a day off.

1. Lie Big: Big lies work better than small lies because the masses won't believe that anyone would lie "about that".
2. Focus: Don't make it complicated. Ignore history, keep it simple for simple minds.
3. Repeat: People cannot tell the difference between facts and familiarity. The same words repeated over and over will become true in their minds.
4. Blame: Never credit the other side. Always blame, debase, defame, and dehumanize.
5. Provoke: Outrage, fear, and resentment are more powerful than reason, logic, or facts.
6. Crisis: Issues must be life or death, good vs evil, love vs hate, us vs them. Urgency defeats objection.
7. Emotion: A person might question facts, but they will never question their own feelings. Go emotional.
8. Pander: Praise allies generously, demonize all who disagree as having bad intentions or being non-expert.
9. No Limit: The victor's morality won't be questioned. Morality is for losers.

Descent Into Madness.

On Saturday, June 21 2025, President Donald J. Trump illegally bombed the sovereign nation of Iran in an unprovoked attack on locations Trump imagines houses research facilities for nuclear weapons. He did this on behalf of the rogue, Satanic nation of Israel, which previously launched its own illegal, unprovoked attacks on Iran on Friday, June 13, 2025. Iran has been retaliating against Israel ever since in an unsuccessful attempt to convince Israel to stop its daily bombing raids.

Where will this end? Iran has promised "measured actions" to protect itself from the Zionist-controlled United States federal government, and such actions could involve missile attacks on the many U.S. military bases in the Middle East. It could also include the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, a major shipping route that western nations rely on. A third of the world's liquefied natural gas and almost 25% of total global oil consumption passes through the strait. Closing the strait could possibly induce a global recession if it remained closed for more than a few weeks. If Trump or Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu then ramped up the war, it's possible other nations could be brought into the fight. Yemen is certain to ally with Iran, along with Pakistan and possibly Turkey and Iraq. Fighters aligned with Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza would also continue their efforts against Israel, putting Israel in the difficult position of fending off attacks on multiple fronts. It's also possible that China and Russia would provide backdoor aid to Iran in the form of weapons shipments.

Israel can't win this war without additional support from Trump. So what will he do next? It's hard to say, as he's unpredictable and obviously unstable, but it's a sure bet he will do whatever Israel wants him to do. Trump is owned by Israel, and some say he's being blackmailed by Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency that allegedly worked with Jeffrey Epstein to blackmail almost every influential politician in the United States and the United Kingdom. Trump will not do that which is moral, ethical, or in compliance with international law. He doesn't care about those things. He will do what he has to do to protect his wealth, his power, and his fragile ego. Only by submitting to Israel can those things be protected.

I'm not predicting World War 3 quite yet, although some analysts believe Israel's war against Iran is just a flashpoint of a global war we've already been in for a long time. But I do predict this war will become a lot uglier, a lot bloodier, and a lot more expensive, really fast.  Iran is not going to give up, nor should they. Israel started this mess and it's up to them to end it. The United States could help end it if would stop sending money and weapons to Israel, but of course that will never happen as long as our government remains under their control.

My biggest fear is that Israel will use its "Samson Option", which is their pledge to use nuclear weapons on Europe, the United States, Iran, or even on its own people if it feels sufficiently threatened and thinks its existence is at risk. With madman Netanyahu running the show, the Samson Option is a real possibility that we all need to stay aware of.

My hope is that the Israeli people become angry at the chaos Netanyahu has brought their country and they rise up and send him into exile, or better yet, to a work camp in Gaza.

And I also hope that God enters Donald Trump's heart and he begins to behave like the Christian he only pretends to be now.

Otherwise, he'll descend further into madness and take the rest of the world with him.

The World Can Move On Without The United States.

"The world can move on without the United States.

100 years ago the British Empire dominated global commerce, commanding more than 20% of the world's wealth. Many believed its sun would never set.

200 years ago, France bestrode Europe's stage, its armies feared, its culture envied. Napoleon declared himself immortal.

400 years ago, the Spanish crown reigned from Manila to Mexico, its treasure fleets groaning with silver and silk. The kings thought their glory would last eternal.

Each empire proclaimed itself indispensable. Each was ultimately eclipsed.

Power wanes, influence migrates, and legitimacy dies the moment it's assumed rather than earned. Should America forfeit the world's respect, it will discover what every fallen empire learned too late:

The world moves on. Always."

I recently found this on social media. It's a tweet on X attributed to China's President Xi Jinping, but even though it has a blue check to verify its authenticity, my research indicates neither the president nor his top staff actually have accounts on X. I have no way to know for sure, but regardless, what the tweet says is all that matters. It gives examples of how past empires are just that: past. And no one misses them. 

As the United States stumbles and stalls, horribly divided from within and threatened from both within and without, it might be wise to compare our situation today with the situations previous empires faced before they fell. There are frightening similarities, the top one possibly being that we think we're too big and powerful to fail.

History teaches us that as the wheel of time turns round, eventually one nation drops and a new one rises to the top.

And the world moves on. Always.

Your Taxes Fund Israel And Their Endless Wars.

Struggling to pay bills? Your taxes fund Israel - and their wars. The United States has spent at least $17.9 billion on military aid to Israel since October 07, 2023 to fund their genocide in Gaza. Israel is the biggest recipient of U.S. military aid in history, getting $251.2 billion in inflation-adjusted dollars since 1959.

And what have we gotten in return? Israel has spied on us, attacked us (USS Liberty), blackmailed our politicians, interfered in our democratic process, dragged us into their endless wars, propagandized us, and taken advantage of our naivety and kindness.

Israel is a parasite that we must stop feeding.

Not one cent more!
