Imagine if there ever was a number one could call in times like this with a President that has no clue on how to govern effectively. America is being led down a path so far removed from the hopes and dreams of millions. No longer are our founding principles those sacred trusts embedded in our conscious. They are now being stripped away by a President and his Administration that can't grasp the basic concept of our founding as a democratic republic.
In times like these when there is a rouge President that unilaterally takes control of submissive MAGA Republican subordinates the consequences leaves no other choice but to dial up Northside Six as a last resort to save our nation from dissertating into a fascist state. It was written in the Declaration of Independence that warned us about when this nation faces times and circumstances that warrant swift action to purge our government from the existing threat we are facing today.
The polarization in our government brought on by the Trump Administration within the past 9 months has unleashed a torrent of anxiety, frustration, and undue hardship upon millions of Americans. The shock and aw antics of Trump and the rest of his cronies have demoralized the many institutions that traditionally kept a level of sanity through-out America.
The dog and pony show of this past Armed Forces forced assembly is arguably one of the most blatant attempts to ramrod the Military to ignore their Constitutional oath. This one gathering alone shows how dangerously close America is to following the play book of Nazi Germany of the 1930's. We are almost there with the atrocities committed by ICE and other Federal Agents doing Trump's bidding.
When Ben Franklin was asked what kind of government was created his reply a republic if you can keep it has to be a wakeup call for all Americans. For the past 9 months the American public has witnessed a stunning transformation from our founding democratic principles to one of authoritieism allowed by Supreme Court rulings and an unhinged Republican led Congress.
The world is faced with serious crisis and the United States needs serious leaders who understand the complexities of how grave the times are. Neither Trump, his cabinet, nor the many MAGA republicans have a clue of not only how to govern effectively but on what is actually needed to address the many concerns facing the American public and the world.
Today one can't help reflecting on that one movie Seven Days In May where a General tries to remove a sitting President when we watched Trump's rambling during Tuesdays Military gathering. Only this time Trump was the one that is deranged and not the Joint Chief of Staff. The movie preservers the democratic principles of our founding.
When we really take a hard look at what is being allowed to occur all across the country where now millions of Americans are seeing their hopes and dreams vanish right before their eyes, we have to realize our democratic republic is in jeopardy. Most of the rest of the world is dumb founded by the sheer audaciousness of a want-a-be dictator.
The chaos being waged by ICE and now our military being summoned to patrol American streets is a sure sign the United States is losing what our founding fathers envisioned for this nation. The choice is ours do we take back our democratic republic, or do we allow America to sink into oblivion? We had better act fast before it really is too late. by an authoritarian want-a-be dictator.

Twilight
In another time, in another place so far removed from the present-day whispering shadows summon me to remember my distant past. I have always been a romantic at heart but as always the reality of my life had all ready been played out before in those wondrous daydreams of what should be. The joys and the sorrows of those memorable years just seemed to linger endlessly then. Precious memories that have sustained my entire life through the turbulent times rekindle a personal quest to again capture moments in between time and space where harmonious union clings to all humanity.

Propaganda 2.1 Model, Manufacture of Dissent and Monetisation of Outrage
Abstract This article introduces the Propaganda 2.1 model as a theoretical extension of the author’s earlier Propaganda 2.0 framework, arguing that contemporary online media ecosystems are no longer governed primarily by political, ideological or cultural objectives but by a dominant economic policy of platform capitalism. In this regime, revenue optimisation trumps belief formation, identity construction and persuasive coherence, transforming propaganda from a project of ideological influence into an infrastructure for affect extraction. The model identifies three core mechanisms structuring this new phase. First, rage-baiting or the monetisation of outrage becomes the central commodity form of public discourse, replacing persuasion with the algorithmic optimisation of irritation, humiliation and moral injury. Second, the proliferation of AI ‘slop’ produces a regime of semantic banalisation in which meaning is not distorted but dissolved through excess, flooding the public sphere with syntactically fluent yet cognitively weightless content that exhausts attention rather than informing it. Third, parasociality functions as simulated intimacy, substituting civic belonging and social reciprocity with managed emotional attachment to influencers, automated agents and personalised feeds. Together these mechanisms describe a propaganda system that no longer requires belief, truth or ideological consistency. Outrage replaces conviction, automation replaces meaning, and artificial intimacy replaces sociality, marking the transition from the manufacture of dissent to the liquidation of public opinion itself. Does a media system that no longer seeks to persuade but to provoke still qualify as propaganda, or has it become a different technology of power altogether? If outrage is now more profitable than truth, what remains of public opinion as a democratic force? Can meaning survive in a communicative environment flooded by automated, semantically empty content? And when artificial intimacy replaces social relations, is the public sphere still a space for politics, or only a marketplace for emotions?
