Personality Cult Propaganda
Act Happy for Me
“The size of your seed will determine the size of your harvest.” –Televangelist James Payne
The feeling you have right now; after watching two middle schoolers (in suits) brow beating the leader of a country under siege by a murderous dictator…it is called shame. Or, if you are like me, it is anger and sadness for your country.
It only took minutes for the mental and moral gymnastics to start as the propaganda flowed and the Vichy GOP started calling for Volodymyr Zelenskyy to “apologize” for his “disrespectful” behavior in the Oval Office. After all, Zelenskyy didn’t have the respect to ‘wear a suit.’ Never mind that Winston Churchill never wore a suit while his country was getting bombed into oblivion by the Luftwaffe. Churchill famously wore a “Siren Suit” which is a ‘onesie’ that men wore when they were in the middle of air raids as their cities were getting the shit bombed out of them. Churchill wore his Siren Suit on a visit to the White House in 1942.
“To some extent, the right wing’s Putin lovefest is simply the result of cultlike fealty to Trump: If he blasted the Putin regime as an evil empire tomorrow, most conservative pundits and “influencers” would follow. But Trump’s evident affection for the Moscow dictator — which doesn’t require conspiratorial explanations like KGB recruitment or blackmail — also lines up with some independently existing trends on the right.” -- How the ‘anti-war’ U.S. right became a pro-Putin movement
The MAGA Cult has bought in to Kremlin propaganda along with the entirety of the Vichy Republicans.
The Cult of T***p
“As a student of history, I recognize this type. He emerges everywhere and in all eras,” Burns said, keynoting Stanford University’s convocation this spring. “We see nurtured in his campaign an incipient proto-Fascism, a nativist anti-immigrant Know Nothing-ism, a disrespect for the judiciary...jingoistic saber rattling, a total lack of historical awareness, a political paranoia that, predictably, points fingers, always making the other wrong.” –Ken Burns
We are being full body tackled by immature, homunculus men with tremendous power. T***p is a golfing puppet. He is not the shot-caller here. I outlined the players in a detailed post in November 2024: Know Your Enemy: The Council for National Policy.
The “CNP” is a massive coalition of truly dangerous man-children with a fuck-ton of money. The Pied Piper for the Heritage Foundation is Russell Vought. Vought is the main architect of Project 2025. This is a sprawling group of Christian Nationalists funded by the country’s wealthiest families and the Catholic (dark money) cult known as Opus Dei.
This decades long movement has built a disinformation machine larger than anything Putin and the KBG could have only dreamt. There are tens of thousands of syndicated radio stations blanketing rural America, all with coordinated, piped in propaganda. Television has Fox News, Newsmax, RSBN and OANN and in the past few years the coalition has added numerous podcasts and online “influencers” with gigantic capital. The parade of fuckwads at The Daily Wire have amassed over $500 million in just a decade.
Throwing in with the existing 0.01% of the U.S. now is the Silicon Valley billionaire class who have seen that coordinating with America’s top 0.01% and supporting an autocrat would lead to their Libertarian wet dream. It started in 2014 when Libertarian Ron Paul became a Putin propagandist and was fueled by the Talibangelicals when they visited Russia to become instruments of Putin’s propaganda machine.
When you see T***p sitting in the Oval Office barfing out Kremlin talking points, the talk about T***p being captured by the KGB in 1987 begins to make sense.
“We’ll probably never know the truth. But even with no slam-dunk evidence, the allegations should be, to say the least, disturbing, especially for the genuine patriots in the MAGA camp.”—The Hill
Never know the truth? We can see with our own eyes that T***p (Krasnov) is a puppet for Putin and seems fine implementing Putin’s anti-West, anti-democracy agenda.
Horrifying Hyperdrive Hypocrisy
“Astroturfing is the deceptive practice of hiding the sponsors of an orchestrated message or organization (e.g., political, economic, advertising, religious, or public relations) to make it appear as though it originates from, and is supported by, unsolicited grassroots participants.”--Wikipedia
We have reached peak fever-swamp insanity and Project 2025 is only getting off the ground. We are up against an Astro-turfed cult being spoon fed KGB-style propaganda 24/7 and we are supposed to be the sane ones.
American Talibangelical churches are pumping out their hallucinations that their cult leader is somehow chosen by God. The cult leader himself has accepted the proclamation.
Hitler (1936): "I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator. Providence has chosen me to restore Germany's greatness."
Trump (2025): "I was saved by God to make America Great Again ... I will lead it to new heights of victory and success."
Great minds think alike?
The end result is simply brain-bending reality. T***p is not a syphilitic moron, he’s playing six-dimensional chess. When he ‘weaves’ in some rambling verbal dysentery, it’s all ‘planned’ to own the press. The 2020 election was “stolen.” The J6 rioters are ‘patriots.’ They’re eating the dogs; they’re eating the cats. The right-wing media then devolves into “Fluffiganda” as they validate every insane thing that comes out of the Dear Leader’s face hole. His explosive diarrhea isn’t a bad thing…we should all be seeking the quickest way to acquire food poisoning!
The thing to remember is that you are not crazy. Your Executive Order is to resist. The only way we fight back now is economically. Historically, the only thing that stops fascist movements is national strikes and labor movements. This may take some time, but it is the only way out of this mess. If Americans can gather the will to engage in mass worker strikes, we stand a chance of turning away from authoritarianism and back toward democracy.
“Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…” --Winston S Churchill, 11 November 1947
I do have one question. This runs circles around any AI Jenga tower, of babel, but how is it Krasnov is playing 6- dimensional chess ,(I know four at least) but he can't play chess.
How does he do it? Are you sure he's not playing 6-dimensional crass?
