With all the mayhem going on in America, one thing is certainly clear. Russia is clearly enjoying it. They have an American President as their puppet. They can make him do anything! The same with his enablers. Hegseth appears almost as comical to them as he is to the western world. They call him "major" to make fun of him. The religious groups are the usual crazy assortment that only America can claim to have followers of. It's astounding! Yet Netanyahu also has his religious masters - Zionism! They completely control all Israelis to the point of cult worship. That is no different than the MAGA cult. They don't even think of themselves as Israelis only as jews. If you disagree with them killing Palestinians the Zionist calls you anti-semitic. Even if you don't care if they are jews! It's been intertwined in order to have control. This is what America is striving for but with the help of Silicon Valley oligarchs money. The power is complete. I saw an interview recently of two young women talking about their belief that Israel was committing genocide. When one of them tried to separate being a Zionist jew to being an Israeli jew against genocide it brought her to tears. Like any cult it's difficult to leave. At least mentally.
There you have it, the world according to the truly great analyst and philosopher Jim Stewartson. The world the way it is, not the way we would like it to be. Rivetting.
Excellent analysis. You’ve distilled Dave Troy’s identified networks into a metaphor that makes sense to me especially as a Californian ;) What can happen after a massive quake? A tsunami.
And any government that gives a monster like that the nukes and our White House is all the way broken. We did it twice. And after an insurrection. And after he purposely killed Americans during covid right before our eyes. The secrets must come out because too many have died from them now & it’s keeping us sick. One big protection racket for rich elite criminals.
Dems are akin to an abused spouse now. And we’re the kids that were handed back to the parent that abused us out in the open for 4 years+. While russia attacked us with psychological warfare making it so we would harm ourselves. But they all just normalize the shit out of everything year after year. Weird.
Oh you were being sarcastic asking what brains. That’s the easy way out of thinking frankly. My mom was sucked into Fox News. Nicest person in the world. Not dumb. I have co workers that I’ve known for over 20 yrs that are smart but also can’t criticize him because of the propaganda. Not because they’re stupid or bad people. So many were specifically targeted too. It’s a mixed bag. And yes there are way too many dumb ones but the lies came from the top ffs. & Our IC didn’t do its job. A civil war is the regimes goal. Fck that. Its a class war. Rich pedo secrets holding us all hostage.
You didn’t vote this maniac into office. He defrauded the American people.
Election Truth Alliance has videos examining the voting data that are easy to understand. They show an algorithm effect at the tabulator level. They’re filling court cases and they need support and for more people to recognize the issue.
SMART Elections is also suing in NY for election irregularities.
Great. We need everything. My post was about how we the People were first defrauded by letting him run at all. Besides that -we all know people who voted for him or didn’t vote at all. Because their brains were hacked.
The brains that thought it was ok to vote for a rapist criminal insurrectionist? I think everyone knows someone or has a loved one they’ve lost to the radicalization & firehose of propaganda for years on end. Yet it’s barely mentioned. Using the formulas Jim is showing us. Sure there are true nazis out there but the majority are mindfcked. I wouldn’t believe if I didn’t see it happening in real life myself. If people can understand the why- it diffuses a lot of the emotion/confusion the assholes are using against us.
I agree that knowledge is power. Yet there are still people who think they can talk them out of it! I suspect most people that know those, do not themselves realise how deep that mind fuckery goes. It's no different from most cults. To the cultist it's akin to losing a limb. So naturally they fight against common sense principals that we think should work. I'd be happy to just send them back to their basements or attics that they came from when they first heard trumps praise for their insane beliefs. He knew what he was doing but only as a salesman. It's the others in his cabal that are the dangerous ones because they know how politics can make those suckers keep buying into the message that they are the righteous ones. Soon nobody will be able to trust anybody. As in any fascist takeover your friend can become your enemy and will squeal on you if they are told to. Not even one year in yet, trump has more to do and even if he doesn't know how Miller and the rest will whisper each step in his ear. His demented brain will be putty in their hands. He's given many signs of dementia and yet the government isn't asking for an independent mental health check. That doesn't surprise me but surely there are some guardrails that somebody whose showing signs of going loony to make them take a test like a brain scan at the least.
Guardrails only matter to people who respect the institutions and guidance and rules.
At this point it’s difficult to identify many senators & congress members who aren’t themselves either captured by the mindfuck, or who are just going along to get along eg. Schumer the doormat who gave up leverage in March’s CR.
Aside from the few people who are actively speaking out and putting themselves in the line of fire, where are the “checks & balances” that Americans have taught their children about for decades?
They all rest on the assumption that elected representatives/leaders will always respect the historical norms. It’s clearly foolish to expect the greedy & sociopaths to have any respect for their constituents.
The brain hacking has been Jim’s main focus, and rightly so.
It’s one thing to hijack election infrastructure but it’s entirely another to brainwash people into making terrible choices that will negatively impact both themselves and many others far into the future.
Jim, another out of the park home run! Regarding semiotics, signs and symbols, I read that that East Wing of the White House, being torn down to construct tRump's golden ballroom, was constructed by FDR in 1942. It was built to cover a bunker to be used in the event of an attack on the US in WWII.
The symbolism is striking. The regime is currently tearing down FDR's New Deal programs (Democrat programs) and replacing it with.... nothing. We're definitely entering the nightmare part of the American dream.
As that ballroom will be his new clubhouse I'm guessing he knows he's going to need that bunker. Hitler needed his in his final hour after he knew he'd lost and committed suicide. I live in hope..... Sigh
Great piece! I say that when I read interesting pieces, but this one is a real eye-opener.
So what about counterforces? I can see a few...
First off, Putin. I agree that Trump might very well surrender to Putin after the next meeting in Budapest, and if not after that one, then after the next. But, being a European myself, Europe (the EU, Norway and Great Britain) has woken up to the threat of Putin. Painfully slowly, but now at lightning speed.
Especially Germany, which, looking at it from a historical perspective, terrifies me even more than the threat Russia poses. We should all worry about a re-militarized Germany. But that's another matter.
My point is - sometime in the near future, Europe and Ukraine will no longer need military support from the US (we never needed financial support. Europe is bound by consensus, but poor we are not.) This means that Europe can and will help Ukraine win the war.
That will likely neutralize Putin's threat. It might also depose him. He wouldn't be the first dictator to be deposed after a lost war.
The other thing I see - Senate and House Republicans have raw tongues licking Trump's boots, but their primary concern is, and will always be, re-election. Even if Trump and SCOTUS manage to corrupt the next election so as to increase the GOP's chances of holding on to majorities in Congress, Trump's approval ratings could very well drop below 25% before the election. I don't see how SCOTUS can correct for such abysmal numbers.
As with Nixon, approval ratings below 25% will change the political landscape. The members of Congress will have to choose between loyalty to Trump and their seat. It could well be that enough of them decide to rid themselves of Trump.
And then, as you posited, there's the military. A military coup is almost unthinkable. But then, so is a Trump. What, do you think, are the chances they will step in, and when will they do so?
Boycott the GOP members who take corporate money and they'll soon turn. If individuals stop buying the products that those that support the regime produce then they will throw all the GOP and trump under the next bus! Money is all they want. When profits dwindle so then will their support. Anybody can do that! Send an email telling them that you will no longer buy their product and WHY! Check if an alternative is available and tell them that if they start supporting the regime then you won't buy their product either. Just to stop the back-sliding lol.
The one thing that Jim hasn’t covered is the US election corruption.
The 2024 election was conducted fraudulently.
Many voters removed from rolls for no apparent reason, disenfranchised upwards of millions. Then many people who voted by mail had their ballots disappear sometime after being received. Greg Palast released a documentary about this.
Election Truth Alliance has very understandable vids on YouTube that show how the votes were manipulated. They’re starting a court case soon. SMART Elections also has a case before the courts.
Americans need to apply, run, volunteer to be involved in your elections. Every single person should be pursuing getting the machines out of the elections. Paper ballots, hand marked and hand counted is the gold standard for preventing fraud. If you can’t change the voting system, then what trump said is true: “after 4 years you won’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good you won’t need to vote.”
In person and mail-in voting is probably not as secure as you may think even with humans doing the counting. There are people in those positions that still haven't come out and categorically said that trump lost in 2020! Where do you go from here? Give all the officials sodium pentathol? What a world!
Hence the reason that people who aren’t brainwashed need to be involved.
Here in Canada, ballots are hand-counted with representatives from each party in attendance. If there’s any doubt, a recount is overseen by a judge.
The machines that no one can question are ripping off Americans. I question what would have been if the world had seen the true intent of America’s votes.
I would disagree that hand counting is infallible. donnie little dick has already got his 2020 election deniers running his Department of Voter Integrity. The States make the count but there are still many States that have those selfsame election deniers.
To be out there on Saturday with a zillion decent, sincere Americans—and then to see the 8 minute Russian TV clip— is to wake up.
To see those hardened, cynical Russians is to get a glimpse not our own future and breaks my heart for our losses. We may have these ideals in our hearts— but I am seeing now that we had/have to to do more than believe or feel. We had to hew to them in our everyday actions.
And the populace… believes? Cynically knows they are acting? What DOES the Russian populace think or feel— or are they so gaslighted and disposable, they’re beyond that?
The Russian populous doesn't react at all. They just take it and keep their mouth shut in order to keep on living. Maybe in private with trusted friends they might laugh at it all but otherwise they simple ignore it. So I've been told. Bucking a system that's been like that for donkeys years is not a way to live a long life. As Americans are on their way to finding out for themselves it they don't start taking things seriously. Dressing up in funny costumes is for carnivals not political protests!
Totally hear you. That - the way u describe the Russian populace—is what I meant. What I actually experienced (having known a group of cynical, rude and not very nice Russians in NYC some years ago.) It’s not rocket science. That’s what happens to humans when they’re constantly assaulted w cruelty and gaslighted. I can feel it starting in my own heart. A weariness. A closing down. To feel it in my own (ridiculously ) optimistic self is …
I've also not mentioned some of the Ukrainian people that spent many of their years in Russia before Ukraine fought for their independence the first time. I'm in the UK and met a woman refugee in her sixties who actually wanted Russia to win! She thinks Zelenskky is wrong! She was smart, an academic in fact, but she had been brought up under the regime and in spite of everything it still seeped in her consciousness. I wanted to ask her why she didn't just go to Russia but it didn't feel right to burden her with such a question. She has obviously been turned into the kind of that Russia can claim to be patriots even though they live in Ukraine. I suspect Zelenskyy has to put up with that kind of thing too. Politics and religion are two of the greatest dividers of the world. It's unfortunate because they are the cause of most wars too.
First off there's nothing "ridiculous" about optimism. So don't lose that part of yourself. I wonder if the Russians you met were not actually Putins Russians. They are allowed to be rude. They owe their wealth to Putin and if they no longer live there is a point in itself! Sure they grew up that way but it's the Russians that don't get permission to leave, because they don't have influence that have to stay quiet. What trump is creating is a permission society like Russia has. Some will have "permission" to travel and some definitely won't. Remember the athletes that Russia allowed to travel because their wanted their glory to be his. Some of them defected at great personal expense to their lives. Some even had family still there that made others decline to take that route. Trump will create that same kind of society. He is already saying who can visit and who can't! Down the road some Americans are going to be denied passports or visas to visit abroad unless they pledge to not say anything bad about him. Fear and cruelty is what the gaslighting is used for. These tactics worked for a while in Germany but losing the war put a stop to it partially. The wall through Berlin where families were separated kept people in "their place" as will the walls he's building around your borders. It's not just to keep the migrants out but it will essentially keep you all in! Unless you are a "loyalist" you won't ever have the right to be free. Which is why it's so important not to let it get to that point. Vaught and Miller know they cannot control over 300M people so they will lessen that number. Starting with immigrants, then moving onto birthright citizens, then moving onto black citizens. Eventually they want to have only about 100M people. The technocrats and the weirdo religious freaks will control them. By the way MAGA, 2nd amendment rights aficionados, soon you will not be able to own a gun unless you can prove that you too are a loyalist. After all trump doesn't want to take any chances that he may be assassinated does he?
I think I am seeing that NOW ( when we or just me feels that facing and weariness inside— that’s the point we have to fight through. Keep the faith, not easy.
Unfortunately, I don’t see anything wrong with your conclusions. Additionally, I found it “interesting” as did one local Detroit TV reporter, that SCOTUS decided to take a case from Texas regarding a person’s right to have a gun if they were a regular user of marijuana. As weed is legal in many “blue” states, but not Federally, this might be the first attack on the Second Amendment. Disarming the American people would be necessary to accomplish the scenario you describe of turning the United States into a military police state.
Donald Trump and his regime pose a clear and present danger to the global peace, security and relative stability we have experienced since WW2.
Seems to me they've got the wrong crime! Take the gun and let them keep the weed. Better yet take all the guns from civilians. All they use them for is to kill other civilians. Who by the way are usually not criminals. Let them stop being such wussies and go back to arguing with fists and bloody noses. I guess they are too scared of getting a bloody nose anymore so their adversary has to die because he said something that offended you these days. America the land of the free and the home of the brave. Guffaw ('-')
"Again, maybe none of this happens, or maybe all of it does. But I don’t see anything stopping him, except a military coup." I've been thinking that for some time now.
Perfect horror story for Halloween! I feel like the Christian Dominionism plate is also being controlled by Russell Vought. Do you feel he is just as dangerous as Miller? god I really hate all these people.
I really hate all these people too. Not they themselves- but their cowardice. Instead of feeling and enduring their own emotional pain, they act it out — and we lose … so much.
With all the mayhem going on in America, one thing is certainly clear. Russia is clearly enjoying it. They have an American President as their puppet. They can make him do anything! The same with his enablers. Hegseth appears almost as comical to them as he is to the western world. They call him "major" to make fun of him.

Keep telling us Jim! The more people that understand the HOW 🧠 the quicker we get to revolution.
