Thank you for the conversation. I truly appreciate and encourage everyone to sign and the petition and support independent journalism and Lincoln Square and Its the democracy stupid substack. This war is about oil, money and power and perhaps a Nobel Peace Prize. There is nothing noble about war!
CNPP And Far Right Attach To Culture Issues: The Subtle Messaging
The CNPP(Christian Nationalist Pedo Party) has made no secret that they want to become identified with culture issues Take the most recent government release of RFK’s video of him and Kid Rock doing a sauna work out putting their hypermasculinity message on full display(https://bit.ly/3P9wREF) getting a “MAGA body” Or Hegseth pumping iron with the military perpetuating the anti woke propaganda implying that there’s no room for weak men Attaching ripped bodies with the CNPP targets young men who would join the military or their movement And now photo banners of Cheeto on the DOJ building and Charlie Kirk on the Dept of Education building identifies the CNPP heroes
It’s part of the Republican Nazi propaganda playbook of the current regime As a Guardian article(https://bit.ly/49qifHt) discusses the far right uses seemingly innocent cooking videos or music to engender following the ideology of extremism of the CNPP
So the short answer as to why culture issues are used as propaganda campaign ploys is “because it sells” But these issues are just propaganda to distract us from realizing they are picking our pockets, gutting our schools, destroying our healthcare while they give tax breaks for their billionaire donors, pardon the wealthy for convicted crimes and raise taxes on all the rest of us
The real fight is not right vs left, it’s top vs bottom
Trump's ascendancy...the completion of the long-planned advent of the merchant class to the sanctum sanctorum of American power, the conquering rise of mercantilism with all its attendant vulgarity, its acquisitive conscience supplanting every moral one, an event in our political life that signals the collapse of democracy - which has, in truth, enabled it- but of every bulwark against wealth-as-holy-pursuit, which appears to be the last American passion left standing.
In the Milton classic Paradise Lost, there’s a part describing Satin circumnavigating the Earth inside of a golden chariot and landing in the garden of Eden. He takes possession of a serpent and tempts Eve into biting an apple, with lies, fraud, false promises.
Your story about Epstein going to , Michigan to buy property near innocent brilliant young people, brought this to mind. Evil men who worm themselves into innocent lives want to recruit them for evil purposes.

Really appreciate Judd Legum's pieces. Read him regularly and always learn something. Highly recommend!

Ignoring the serpent is a mistake.
RIGHT ON.
Brilliant.
