Trump’s America: Controlling Minds, Crushing Truth

The quote “Every dictatorship has one obsession: control the mind” comes from the movie Enemy (2013) . What it's describing goes beyond brute force—it’s about the systematic domination of thought, perception, and reality itself.

Here are the key tactics or "mind‑control elements" dictatorships commonly use today:

---

🧠 1. Mass Surveillance & the Panopticon

Constant monitoring (CCTV, phone/internet tracking) instills self‑censorship. Rooted in the “panopticon” concept—people regulate themselves, never knowing if they’re being watched en.wikipedia.org.

2. Propaganda & Media Manipulation

State or controlled media spread a curated narrative—demonizing enemies, rewriting history, glorifying the regime or leader. Imagocracies (modern info-dictatorships) use these tactics for subtle but pervasive influence en.wikipedia.org+12en.wikipedia.org+12en.wikipedia.org+12.

3. Cult of Personality

Amplify a leader into a god‑like figure via omnipresent imagery, orchestrated public adoration, and hero-worship in state ceremonies .

4. Thought Reform & Milieu Control

Isolation, groupthink, “loaded language,” public confession—tactics to reshape how people think, often described in Lifton's Eight Criteria for Thought Reform en.wikipedia.org+1en.wikipedia.org+1.

5. Manufacturing Enemies & Fear

Constantly identifying “the Other” (terrorists, traitors, minorities) to unite the public under the regime and justify repression en.wikipedia.org.

6. Information Distortion & Echo Chambers

Filtering reality to present a version that reinforces the regime’s image, while advisors and media hide inconvenient truths—a dynamic known as the “dictator’s dilemma” arxiv.org.

✔️ So when you ask, "How is this NOT exactly what we're seeing now?" — it often is what’s happening, globally or locally:

• Governments and big tech harvest data, surveil communications, and filter what you see online.

• Authoritarian regimes bombard their population with propaganda, demonizing dissent.

• Leaders cultivate personal loyalty through idolization and pageantry.

• Minority groups or foreign nations are scapegoated as enemies, feeding tribal fear.

• Alternative voices are suppressed, fact-checked into silence, or shouted down online.

Summary Table

Element	Modern Example
Surveillance	CCTV, metadata tracking, phone taps
Propaganda	Fake news, state TV, social media influence operations
Leader-worship	Public events, social media propaganda for leaders
Mind Reform	Education controls, loyalty tests, “cancel culture”
Enemy manufacturing	Immigration/nationalist fear campaigns
Echo chambers	Censorship, algorithmic filter bubbles

at US Army 250th Anniversary Parade recognizing a massive Fail.

🧠 How This Applies to Trump — A Breakdown:

Dictator Control Mechanism	Trump Version (Now or During His Term)
Propaganda / State Narrative	Attacks on free press ("enemy of the people"), constant use of disinformation.
Cult of Personality	MAGA rallies, flags, merchandise, prayerful devotion by followers.
Enemy Creation	Immigrants, Democrats, media, FBI, DOJ, LGBTQ+, “globalists.”
Information Suppression	Tried to shut down media, discredit science (e.g., COVID), control curriculum.
Rewriting Reality	“Alternative facts,” election denial, Jan. 6 was a “tourist visit.”
Surveillance & Retaliation	Threats to jail opponents, loyalty tests, encouraging doxxing of critics.
Education & Thought Control	Promoting “patriotic education,” banning “critical race theory,” whitewashing U.S. history.
Echo Chambers & Algorithmic Control	Use of social media algorithms, Truth Social to create MAGA-only info bubbles.
Militarization & Fear	Using troops on protestors (Lafayette Square), glorifying violence, paramilitary threats.

🔥 List of Elements Now In Play (June 2025):

1. Control over messaging through right-wing media (Fox, Newsmax, etc.).

2. Calls to prosecute political enemies — Trump promises revenge in a 2025 return.

3. Religious cult energy — praying to Trump, literal messianic language by followers.

4. Purging dissenters in the GOP (e.g., Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger).

5. Erosion of institutions — DOJ, FBI, and courts constantly undermined as “deep state.”

6. Delegitimizing elections — false claims of fraud, rigging future election systems.

7. Project 2025 playbook — a literal plan to consolidate executive power over civil service, agencies, education, etc.

8. Book bans and curriculum laws — to control what young people learn.

9. Legal intimidation — lawsuits, threats of prosecution, calls for "retribution."

10. Militant followers — Proud Boys, militias, January 6 rioters idolizing Trump.

💬 Final Thought:

So yes — what we’re seeing under Trump is a slow-motion enactment of the exact mind-control obsession every dictatorship shares. Not all at once, but unmistakably unfolding through calculated erosion of democratic norms and replacement with authoritarian control of thought, memory, and identity.

But the story isn’t finished. Authoritarianism thrives on silence and surrender—but it falters in the face of clarity, resistance, and truth. We still have voices, votes, and the power to remember who we are. The massive turnout for last Saturday’s No Kings national protest proved that millions still recognize the danger and are willing to stand up. History shows that when just 3% of a population commits to resisting tyranny, they have never failed to spark change. 

The question now isn’t whether we’re being manipulated—it’s whether enough of us will stay awake, speak out, and act before the window to do so quietly closes.

US Attacked with Mind Control Weapons?

First off, today is Memorial Day. I was in the military myself years ago. It paid for my college and university degrees (thanks everyone!) And I know not all of us are that lucky and instead have massive college debt. But, that's another topic for another time (and one that needs to be addressed).
I have to say, having had an appreciation of the military before hand, after serving in the military, I had an even better understanding of it all.

Memorial Day is a day for reflection and appreciation of all those who have gone before us, died for us, for their beliefs in our country, and for all those who currently serve and are daily in harm's way. We thank you all!

That being said, with so many false narratives lately, postured patriotism and disingenuous partisanship, a word from our President...our FIRST President:

Now, for today's blog....

BEIJING — An American government employee posted in southern China has signs of possible brain injury after reporting disturbing sounds and sensations, the State Department said on Wednesday, in events that seemed to draw parallels with mysterious ailments that struck American diplomats in Cuba.- New York Times

What in the hell exactly is going on here?

If I had to guess with a gun to my head, I'd have to lean toward the plausibility of it being Putin yet again. Another Russian operation. It just fits the scenario we're seeing. Beginning in Cuba, moving to China. Russia has traditionally and historically had easy access to Cuba, to do things both with and without government knowledge.

So Cuba may be telling the truth about their ignorance and if it's Russia they may not have wanted to share or alert Cuban officials for obvious reasons.

In then doing this in Chian, Russia may feel they are thinning the argument against them. And as well, double bonus, sending a warning signal to China... and others.

Pretty slick if you think about it. But has a Donald Trump feel to it also, if you keep thinking about it. Not that he did it, but a dramatic mentality he might dream up. Along with a lack of associated ethical implications and considerations.

Of course we know about Chinese black hat hackers like China Eagle, funded by the Chinese military. But the Russians have been the biggest threat to us of late. Obviously they have been researching and applying that in operations against us. Well, in part it's what we do to one another. We have done some underhanded things to be sure, but Russia under Putin certainly, isn't constrained by the same considerations we are, do to the nature of our government. And perhaps, mindset? Maybe.

It may not even have been a weapon directed AT us, but a weapon, more ingenuously, using the components already in place, or perhaps, subtly added to.

Here's an article on that.

These types of weapons are no longer the purview of science fiction. Many of them are now science fact, with more are to come. Apparently some of those which the American government are developing came to light recently in accidentally disclosed documents through a FOIA (Freedom Of Information Act) request.

To anyone paying attention this isn't news, overall. Regardless, the specifics are indeed fascinating.

"Forced orgasm?" They could make a killing on that alone.Seriously, if some people would just get laid, they just might mellow out. I jest. Sort of. But others just need to get relax, smoke a joint, stop the alcohol or pills, or perhaps...simply have a drink.

Who knows, maybe they've discovered THE anti war weapons: Forced Orgasm. There are already several in popular and branded culture. The Orgasmatron. Cultural examples have been in various incarnations by name and otherwise. As in Barbarella, called the Excessive Machine, a famous scene in cinema. Or Woody Allen's Sleeper. And Motorhead's album of the same name.

I've experienced that transparent eyelid thing myself. It's weird, disconcerting when I'm trying to go to sleep. Too much mind, I think, as my Aikido Sensei liked to say. It's like a dream stare overtaking a waking state and you can "see" what you can't see.

I remember studying that in M. Merleau-Ponty's book Phenomenology of Perception in college toward my psychology degree. I taught it to my kids and have used the concept in my novella, Andrew.

Seeing things that aren't able to be seen and yet, you can see them, and so on. It's also useful for martial reasons. For instance, one can hit a target that can't be seen clearly with bullet, throwing knife (or dart) or arrow. I've done that many times. Initially to my great surprise. My college archery instructor taught it to us, though I'd already known about it for some time.

Some simply call it, Zen. I believe Zen in the Art of Archery may even discuss it. One tries to aim when the target CAN be seen and yet miss, but in using one's mind, it can be hit seemingly way too accurately.

I don't doubt that any of what's on that diagram is in research stages, though it doesn't mean they've already achieved it, fully. Or was it not an accidental release at all? As for thoughts, we're doing interesting research and products on that, but not in a direct way we'd expect. Rather in a roundabout way of achieving similar results and a little less exciting that it at first sounds.

Or, maybe they're just staring at goats again.

I'm glad we're researching these things though. I've been a proponent of non lethal weapons for years. We have GOT to stop relying so heavily upon firearms. Just as we have to do the same for internal combustion engines and using fossil fuels as sources of energy. They're anachronistic, archaic, and it's time to look to the future and put behind us our childish ways.

I'm not complaining here about other countries having these weapons. That was bound to happen. My concern is the same obvious concern anyone would have in hearing these news reports. Essentially terrorist tactics to harm people doing nothing overtly to harm those attacking them.

I understand for instance, general tactics of espionage. I get harassing foreign agents, especially in countries not of either combatant's. I also understand the concept, in place for hundreds of years  if not thousands, of leaving known agents in place to monitor and gleam intelligence from them, if not at times to also feed false intel to.

But to do damage to others, to those not directly in the field against your own agents, is unacceptable. People working in offices? Really?

Regardless, it seems pretty clear this is Russia.

It also seems pretty clear that both Russia AND America have problems with who their current leaders are. Both of which have been in office for far too long for the sanity and safety of either country, or the entire world.

Putin has been in power far too long at the detriment of his country and their reputations. Trump should never have been allowed anywhere near the White House and our reputation has been damaged in only a single year. That as well as regulations, protections, laws and issues of trust will take us years if not decades to rectify.

So many years of hard work, of people dying for our cause, have been damaged or destroyed by only one narcissist, one Russian Oligarch style man as our president, as POTUS. Term limits, if not special prosecutors, may be our saving grace. And luckily people around the world are aware we change presidents at least every two terms of four years ago. Our government overall is strong, weakened only recently by a defective nationalism mindset and populism run amuck.

We are living in interesting times. So pay attention.

Because what is happening during this period will be discussed and studied for many decades to come.

Beware, we're beginning to see the battle we're actually fighting.

I've posted this a elsewhere.
Why?

Because it's not just about this.I realized I needed to say something. There is more to this article than I at first realized, once I started considering it more deeply. Is what's going on because of NRA money to Congress so they do their bidding? As we're seeing? Or are we not fully understanding what is going on?

Most likely, the latter. Otherwise, things would have changed by now. We're obviously fighting a different battle than we thought we were.

We need to be very careful from here on.
We are being sold a bill of goods for something that is nothing if not standard operating procedure.
But also by design or coincidence, simply basic old Soviet practices.
Espionage gone mainstream.
Marketing on steroids, using what they've learned from professionals.
Wall Street working to drain us for their benefit using enhanced business and marketing practices.

Words at this time rise to the surface like bacteria on cream. Like subliminal. Like Social Engineering. Like PsyOps (psychological operations).

WAKE UP! Pay attention. Be aware. Educate yourself in areas most vital that you know and understand. So you can see it is actually happening.

This isn't a sci fi story. It's not an action adventure, a thriller movie, a horror film. Donald Trump as president thinks it is. More importantly he wants YOU to think it is. Or at least, to reacts as if it were.

"Are You Entertained?"!

This is for real. All of it. It's not huge evil monsters. It's not just an ultra right wing conspiracy. It's not just Putin abusing Western Democracies, in protecting his vast wealth and enabling his remaining outside of Russian gulags.

It's just people, doing a job, with a boss, with an agenda, with a goal, maybe even with what they believe to be higher purposes....but where any means justifies their ends. We are the target of a lot of people holding political, social and psychological "darts" aimed at our weakest emotional and intellectual and financial spots for their most benefits.

It's the usual misdirect by magicians and conmen.
Con People.
ConGressional Confidence People.
And their cohorts outside of Congress.
Their minions in and all about Congress.
We need to look at the actual problems, not the ethereal facades painted over to look like the problem.

Focus. Learn. Push back in ways that actually move the needle for us. It can happen. We can do this. Why haven't we yet been able to affect positive change in OUR direction?

Because we just didn't know the game we were all playing, or clearly understand just who the opponents were whom we hadn't recognized, or so very often, even seen. So much has been obfuscated, obstructed from view, redirected as our attention has repeatedly been sent off into directions having no bearings on our realities.

But we see you now....
