Trump...the master of mind control pre and post Nov.3
In social media dialogs with dedicated Trump supporters, I have got to hand it to Trump. He is a master of mind control. and he is the master of a universe he himself helps shape. What is reality has become what media outlet a person watches exclusively. That is the single most important factor causing such a sharply divided nation. There seems to be an Earth A and an Earth B existing side by side. Reality to him is what FOX and Friends and Hannity broadcast, and the lines are blurred with who is influencing whom. Trump if anything is a TV-shaped and shaping creature. He is where he is because of his TV stardom in an echo chamber of his making..That he watches FOX hours a day is documented in his tweets, his former staff, and his own comments and his using them as his kitchen cabinet to shape public policy. That is the reality he wants for his followers to perceive, even if he himself knows otherwise.
Post-Nov. 3, the Trumpists still promote Earth B, defying the election results in spite of no evidence of fraud..and his attorneys have been laughed out of court. Nonetheless, the propaganda machines are hard at work drumming up social media and "news" stories that are bogus, purporting to show evidence of fraud...and debunked by ABC news showing how they have tried to do this: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/election-2020-debunking-false-misleading-videos-claiming-show/story?id=74148233&fbclid=IwAR27lopUFT2RVS91tB5q-XwvxDNxu0bxcQXkXG784dG4RKf0H1HbR5Cnu-s
Example #1 of how effective Trump's propaganda machine is: https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/526204-south-dakota-nurse-says-many-dying-patients-still-insist-covid-19-not?fbclid=IwAR2pe8JLapCvGdUnXgyo-fAfUC6ylfXAqrJ-R9WITgCCSdRC3_114KWthgQ

Example # 3: Trump's crowd-size lies did not end with his inauguration crowd. How about these Trumpsters tricks: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/nov/17/facebook-posts/photos-show-cleveland-cavaliers-parade-and-womens-/?fbclid=IwAR0YCtmfQ3oZzQDMC6utWHibXXsncwyrDan3HfGoXUaHzFBKZR-RKH4cV1g
Pre November 3.:
Foxated on Hunter Biden? Funny how that story came about and where it went. Here is an example how Fox media
made it into a big nothing.How the Hunter Biden Laptop Story Disappeared from Fox News Prime Time After the Election (msn.com)
Back in the communist era in the USSR and also in Nazi Germany, there was a political commissar in charge of making sure thoughts, words, and deeds conformed to the political leader or party line, throughout their society. Now, in the Trump administration, it appears there are informal commissars who make scientific reports curtailed, rewritten, or buried, particularly when it comes to mortality figures of COVID regardless of scientific findings or the effectiveness of masks and the timing of the availability of immunizations. We may not yet have a dictatorship, but our wannabe autocrat, Donald Trump, is showing the same tendencies to act as others before him did. (for more on how members of our family experienced this first hand see another posting of the blog: https://mufticforumblog.blogspot.com/2020/09/trumps-political-commissars-are-at-work.html What Trump is doing is even more insidious than either Stalin or Tito because both of these mid-20th-century communists appeared to believe in their own ideology, but Trump believed one thing and told his followers to believe something else.
.
How many times have you heard from his mouth not " to believe what you hear or see" and. believe him instead?
We should have gotten a clue when he exaggerated the size of his inauguration audience, even when photo comparisons with Obama's audience his inauguration were shown side by side. There is another world out there that takes data from scientific sources, evidence, and experience as reality and believe what they see, hear, experience and rationally consider.
How and why does he do it?. It is not always a matter of ignorance, or forgotten school lessons, ADHD, or lack of reading comprehension many presumed. It is not that he is ignorant of science. He knows how the disease spreads. He is a germaphobe and, he fears human physical contact by a handshake or a sympathetic hug with the public, as he called" disgusting" supporters attending his rallies, per a former Pence aid. It may be he is driven by instinct instead of calculation, but it is effective in shaping the public perception that favors him, the person.
If anything speaks to his being driven by calculation, it was revealed by Bob Woodward's book RAGE,. It was Trump's intentional manipulation to shape and bond with his core followers with the self-knowledge of the deadly danger of COVID, caught on Woodward's tape, while simultaneously telling his followers it was just like the usual flu and not to worry.
.It takes two to validate one another and he has an uncanny ability to know what rings the chimes of at least 40% of voters. This is not to say his voters do not know their own minds. . They do. He just amplifies the depth of their anger, fears, racial prejudices, a desire for a "strong leader" to save them, and/or economic self-interest as he plays to it and intensifies it The roar of a maskless indoor rally crowd in Henderson, NV, or Tulsa, or TV ratings and media coverage of his tweets validate what he utters is working to cultivate loyal followers. as well an understanding that resonates with them. They think if they act like COVID is over, it is over, so why wear a mask, while experts warn we have not turned the corner, as Trump trumpets. It has just plateaued until winter drives activities indoors and the usual flu season begins.
When every news outlet, domestic and foreign, write and report something else than what FOX and Trump media report, the reality is not just a matter of perception, gut feel, or hunch. He is an intentional manipulator. of other people's thoughts, even when he knows the evidence indicates the contrary. which he acknowledges as the truth in private.

As a first-hand witness to Russian consolidation of control of East Germany and spending in-person time in a country run by a dictator and over 50 years being married to a refugee from communist Yugoslavia,I noted the first strategy used by these dictators to get and keep power is to block, and jam all news from the West and the only news allowed was their version. It was a method of mind control. that was also physica.l..No western publications or radio reports are allowed. In these days the menu and access to a smorgasbord of news providers online, the way unfavorable news is blocked by the Trumpsters is with four years of claiming any source others that their approved ones were called "fake news. " . . Trump himself has conditioned his followers to block out inconvenient facts and news, not physically, but in their minds. He has dismissed any news except that coming by Fox and Trump's approved news sources as "fake". It began with "alternative facts" at the early years of the Trump administration to his continued damning every other source except his approved ones...and his willing followers and worshippers of Trump himself are more than willing to comply. There is one particular stock answer that I see pop up on some Facebook sites, terming any news from any source, domestic and foreign, that provides facts and data that expose Trump's spin as "fake news", presenting no proof, data, or information to the contrary....just the two-word comment: "fake news". I appreciate those who do provide "alternative facts' and sources, but I also find the same Trump supporters are still calling inconvenient news stories dismissed as "fake" as well, even when presented with data, evidence, and facts,.
The service that Bob Woodward provided in his book "RAGE", and corresponding tapes of Trump's own voice is to expose his intentional distortion of "facts to the contrary", to be just the opposite to the public of what he admitted to Woodward on tape privately. Top of that list is Trump's wilful lies that COVID is no big thing, just like the flu...at exactly the same time he acknowledged the deadly and infectious nature of COVID...In the past couple of days he now sets out to denigrate facemasks again and launch a policy of "herd mentality", which would require the death totals in the US to be at least 2 million (10 times the current deaths), and 60% of US population to survive the infection. He is leading by example and calling out Biden from wearing facemasks since Biden does lead by example himself. Trump is holding indoor maskless rallies and telling red state governors with spikes in COVID to do away with mandatory mask-wearing. .The result is not just a political tactic, it is also a matter of life and death. .for his own supporters ...and .as an 82-year-old, for my likely premature death from mask shunners. My answer is another nine or ten months of lockdown until vaccines will be available to the general public, per the CDC 9/17.

Trump's political commissars : How mind control works in his war against science.
Updated: 9/17-21/20
Our family's experience with dictator mind controllers were those who were at college-age in the early days in Communist Yugoslavia with Josef Tito as the dictator. There always had been a commissar circulating among the students making sure that whatever was said or thought conformed with the ideology and orders of the upline.. Not only did they tell students what the current line was of the day, those students who were cheeky enough to speak or indicate independent thought could have their academic careers curtailed or worse. This is what happens in a dictatorship.
Back in the communist era in the USSR and also in Nazi Germany, there was a political commissar in charge of making sure thoughts, words, and deeds conformed to the political leader or party line, throughout their society. Now, in the Trump administration, it appears there are informal commissars who make scientific reports curtailed, rewritten, or buried, particularly when it comes to mortality figures of COVID regardless of scientific findings or the effectiveness of masks and the timing of the availability of immunizations. We may not yet have a dictatorship, but our wannabe autocrat, Donald Trump, is showing the same tendencies to act as others before him did.
What Trump is doing is even more insidious than either Stalin or Tito because both of these mid-20th-century communists appeared to believe in their own ideology, but Trump believed one thing and told his followers to believe something else.
In the last century, political ideology was used to make science conform to the Marxist ideology of dialectic materialism and the belief of their godfather leader, Josef Stalin. The same attack on science also happened in Yugoslavia where my husband to be was a medical student. He had to parrot back in his oral exams the State approved theory of Lysenko that rejected natural selection in biology and instead dwelt on the engineering of grafting and other methods of activist interference that validated dialectic materialism, even though he thought it was hocus pocus. Thirty years before that, Nazis had embraced eugenics and phrenology to rationalize the inferiority of non-Aryans, paving the way for guilt-free extermination of Jews, gypsies, and eventually even Slavs in the future.. Science eventually ruled and both fascism and Marxism died along with those regimes. That is what happens in dictatorships.
It is also happening in the Trump administration. A recent flap concerned "Antifa", which the right-leaning media and the Trump administration has set up as the organization to fear, angry black people violently demonstrating. He appointed two acting heads of the Department of Homeland Security to echo his own personal views making the case that Antifa was an organization that organized the Portland riots. Only FOX reported that DHS had found evidence that Antifa organized the Portland violence. The DHS leadership has little credibility, led by political cohorts of the president that were never confirmed by the Senate. https://www.cnn.com/
Now, in the Trump administration, it appears there are informal commissars who make scientific reports curtailed, rewritten, or buried, particularly when it comes to mortality figures of COVID regardless of scientific findings. Bob Woodward's recently released book RAGE was very disturbing in that Donald Trump was neither ignorant nor unfocused about the deadliness of COVID 19, and he wilfully kept that information from the American public because he didn't want to "panic" them (or Wall Street). I wonder how many believed Trump's line and refused to wear a mask or socially distancing themselves in a sign of loyalty to Trump or blind belief he spoke the truth...and consequently became victims of COVID. They were the suckers of a diabolical con man. A study released in late May traced the spread of most COVID infections to counties in the US which had voted strongly for Trump in 2016 found that counties that voted overwhelmingly for Trump in 2016 had a higher rate of COVID infections than the national experience. The study did not say why, but from the pages of social media, at that time mask-wearing was the badge of Democrats and Trump loyalists followed their great leader and shunned masks. I recall an interview of residents of the huge retirement in Florida, The Villages, where you could tell who was a Democrat because Democrats wore masks. Republicans did not. .https://www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2020/05/29/mapping-covid-19s-spread-from-blue-to-red-america/
That commissar control over the CDC is going on until this very day: 9/21. . The commissars won. The person appointed to make sure the CDC and HHS deliver reports that supported..Twice the White House authored guidelines regarding testing for COVID under the name of the CDC but it was never edited or had the approval of its scientists. . In spite of con man Trump, vaccines will not be available until mid-2021 to the general public. What happened to CDC Robert Redfield? Maybe the political commissar of the CDC had to take leave due to his mental problems...Caputo went bye-bye" Michael R. Caputo told a Facebook audience without evidence that left-wing hit squads were being trained for insurrection and accused C.D.C. scientists of “sedition.” per the NY Times. and Redfield also had the spine to contradict con man Trump and then say contrary to him..masks are even better than vaccines in controlling COVID. My God...the CDC is trying to save its credibility. Wonder how long it will be before Trump fires him. Trump retorted:;"Redfield was confused. He gave wrong information Maybe he misunderstood the question" In response, Redfield tweeted: wear a mask, social distancing, etc. The war has become Con Man Trump v science. Science won that battle: the guidelines were reversed 9/18/20 https://www.yahoo.com/gma/cdc-releases-clarification-testing-guideline-175200566.html
Another CDC change in their analysis of the spread of COVID happened 9/20/20. It is born mostly by airborne particles that can stay in the air and can infect people more than 6 ft. away in certain situations. . This has implications for indoor, large group gatherings unmasked, which Trump relishes.Per the CDC "There is growing evidence that droplets and airborne particles can remain suspended in the air and be breathed in by others and travel distances beyond six feet (for example, during choir practice, in restaurants or in fitness classes)."
Per Yahoo News: "Experts on aerosols and the coronavirus said the change constitutes a profound shift in the understanding of how the virus that has claimed almost 200,000 lives in the United States spreads. Previously, the federal health agency had said the coronavirus spreads mainly between people within about six feet of one another and through direct propulsion of exhaled droplets that land in the noses and mouths of individuals nearby. The CDC also said — and still says — that people may become infected by touching something that has the virus on it and then touching their mouth, nose or eyes, but that touch is not the main way it spreads."https://news.yahoo.com/cdc-says-coronavirus-spreads-mainly-034950288.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=fb&tsrc=fb
However, this posting from the CDC, released on a Friday, 9/20 was taken down on the next Monday as a "posting made by mistake" What triggered this embarrassment is thought to be the World Health Organization challenging their data or lack of it. However, Trump's secretary HHS Alex Azar announced he was taking over the FDA rulemaking 9/21 .This could also be the reason the CDC under HHS and Azar again reversed itself for not being in lockstep with Trump. It could also be an administrative screwup. We will know when their "revision of the revision" is released. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/19/health/azar-hhs-fda.html
