State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

So what happens on this three day weekend? The actions of Israel and the US have been proven to the world to be untrustworthy. I will give Israel credit: they were able to bring both sides of Congress together. Money still talks.
I wonder how much treachery 30 silver coins will buy this time?
I am a hard core American, but I wish Trump would just Shut the F**K Up.
This morning a YouTube channel (The Prepared Homestead) host stated that that someone said there was a flash video o. The Whitehouse website stating that Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security will be stopped and that the government is preparing to do this now. I am paraphrasing here to the best of my ability. So, this guy does this everyday – warns you that the sky is falling Henny Penny. Trump does the same thing. Tactic to control. Create uncertainty. Boogie man is sadistic.
.Why Contradictions Are Manipulative
.Creating Confusion and Doubt One of the most common forms of manipulation through contradiction is gaslighting, where manipulators repeatedly present false or contradictory information to make their victim question their reality. By saying one thing and doing another, manipulators create an environment of uncertainty. For example, someone might claim to care about you while consistently neglecting your needs. This contradiction forces the victim to question their own perception of the relationship.
.”According to Dr. Robin Stern, author of The Gaslight Effect, gaslighters “deny, lie, and contradict themselves to make the victim lose their sense of reality”. By constantly contradicting themselves, manipulators can confuse and destabilize their target, making them more reliant on the manipulator for clarity and guidance.”
Trump hates us. He. Is filled with hate for humanity. My view.
It’s about shaping perception. The Art of the Deal. You know, propaganda.
Remember the old Soviet joke?
A Soviet and an American are seated next to each other on a plane traveling from Moscow to Washington, DC. The American says, I have to hand it to you. Your propaganda is very impressive. The Soviet smiles and thanks him, but replies that it’s nothing compared to American Propaganda. Confused, the American tells him, “but we don’t have propaganda.”
The soviet smiles and says, “exactly.”
War is every bit as much about perceptions, morale and will as it is about blowing things up and killing the enemy.
