Soros: George Soros and his paid followers must be delighted. He is living out his childhood fantasy of being “some kind of God the creator of everything,” as he told the British Independent in 1993, shortly after pocketing at least $2 billion after betting against the British pound. That allowed the megalomaniac billionaire “to live it out,” to meddle in domestic affairs and finances of many countries, lead many “color revolutions,” and promote his incoherent interpretations of Henri Bergson’s and Karl Popper’s philosophies on the Open Society, giving it an Orwellian twist by so naming his mega political foundations.
Donald Trump’s election as US President in 2016 infuriated Soros, not only because his preferred candidate, Hillary Clinton, lost, but also because Soros, a fallible financial speculator, lost $1 billion betting against Trump. Soros, who built his empire on the infamy of The Man who Broke the Bank of England in 1992, does not like to lose. So, days after Trump won the election, Politico reported that Soros convened behind closed doors with top members of the Democracy Alliance (DA) to plan a strategy to resist President-elect Trump and “to take back power from the Republicans.” Moreover, Soros did not keep his intentions to oppose Trump’s policies to “Make America Great Again.” In December 2016, he alleged that Russia’s president Vladimir Putin “helped Trump get elected,” and on the eve of Trump’s inauguration as the 45th President of the United States, using the stage of the WEF in Davos, Soros declared Trump “an imposter and con man and a would-be dictator.” However, Soros’s prediction that the “US would be unable to protect and promote democracy in the rest of the world” became a reality only when his candidate for US President got into office.
The imperious and vainglorious Soros, aptly named “The Connoisseur of Chaos,” is barred by the US Constitution from becoming president, the most coveted, influential position a man like him could have wanted. But Soros is not known for giving up. So, he used his money and celebrity to change America from the most prosperous, democratic, and powerful nation into a crime-ridden, racially divided, anarchic nation with a floundering economy that had lost its superpower status.Imagine the gleeful Soros watching the much-despised former president Donald Trump arrested on trumped-up charges. At the same time, his lavish (primarily indirect) funding to progressive-Left groups in Israel is creating chaos and division, threatening the unity and national security of the Zionist Jewish State.Soros has been skirting the laws everywhere he can and has used his money (and often our tax money) to weaken the US’s stability within and its power in the world. His foundations have also pushed legal and common-sense boundaries that have eroded this country’s moral fiber and created chaos.
He used America’s democratic system to pursue his goals. However, as I point out in The Soros Agenda, information about his financing and connections is murky. Many instances, such as his funding of groups affiliated with the PIJ, clearly violate laws prohibiting terrorist financing. Moreover, it would take lots of money and sophisticated forensic analysis to find the evidence, and following up on the information in my book could help. Soros’s activities have caused massive damage to America.
Obama: The puppet master. Unaccountable, behind the curtain, he has run The White and has done so since Biden was elected in 2021. Not for “We the People.” Not for America. For his masters: Soros and the Globalists.
Kamala Harris: We should not forget Kamala, who was mixed into the pot during the 2019 Democratic primaries in Obama’s coronation of Biden. Her support of treasonous activities became apparent during the years of the Biden administration. For your knowledge and interest about the Biden VP, here is timely information that exposes Kamala Harris’s hidden background. Kamala Harris’s father was an avowed Marxist professor in the Economics Department at Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA. Both of Harris’s parents were active in the Berkeley-based Afro-American Association. Fidel Castro and Che Guevara were the heroes of the Afro-American Association.
The group’s leader, Donald Warden (Khalid al-Mansour), mentored two young Afro-American Association members, Huey Newton and Bobby Seale. They created the Maoist-inspired Black Panther Party, which gained strong support from Communist China. The Black Panther Party was the model for making the Black Lives Matter Marxist organization. Khalid al-Mansour subsequently arranged financing and facilitated Barack Hussein Obama’s acceptance as a student to enroll at Harvard Law School.
Following her graduation from college, Harris returned to California and subsequently became the mistress of the 60-year-old married Speaker of the California Assembly, Willie Brown, Jr. Brown’s political campaigns were supported and funded by Dr. Carlton Goodlett, the owner of The Sun Reporter and several other pro-Communist newspapers. Brown was elected Mayor of San Francisco and strongly endorsed Harris’ Marxist political philosophy. He guided Harris’s rise in California politics, leading to her election as California’s Attorney General. Willie Brown, Jr. was a well-known, long-time Communist sympathizer. He was initially elected to public office with the substantial help of the Communist Party USA. Today, Willie Brown is regarded as one of the Chinese Communist Party’s best friends in the San Francisco Bay Area.
While serving as San Francisco District Attorney, Kamala Harris mentored a young San Francisco Radical Maoist activist, Lateefah Simon, who was a member of the STORM Revolutionary Movement. Simon currently chairs the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Board. Simon has always been close friends with the founder of Black Lives Matter Marxist Domestic Terrorists, Alicia Garza, as well as STORM member and avowed Communist, Van Jones. Harris has openly and aggressively supported Black Lives Matter Marxists; Kamala Harris is still closely associated with Maoist Lateefah Simon and Marxist Alicia Garza.
Kamala Harris’s sister, Maya Harris, was a student activist at Stanford University. She was associated with Steve Phillips, one of the leading Marxist-Leninists on campus, and a long-time affiliate with the League of Revolutionary Struggle, a pro-Chinese Communist group. Phillips came out of the Left, and in college, he studied Marx, Mao, and Lenin and maintained close associations with fellow Communists. Phillips married into the multi-billion-dollar Sandler family of the Golden West Savings and Loan fortune. He funded many leftist political campaigns and voter registration drives in the Southern and Southwestern states to help his friend, Barack Hussein Obama, defeat Hillary Clinton. Phillips has been a significant financial sponsor for Kamala Harris’s political campaigns for various California elective offices.
Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, works for DLA Piper, which “boasts 30 years of experience in Communist China with over 140 lawyers dedicated to its ‘Communist China Investment Services’ branch. He was appointed as a professor at Yale to teach future lawyers about the fine points of Communism. When she was elected to the US Senate, Kamala Harris appointed a Pro-Communist Senate Chief of Staff, Karine Jean-Pierre. Jean-Pierre was active with the New York-based Haiti Support Network. The organization worked closely with the pro-Communist China/Communist North Korea Workers World Party. It supported Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the far-left Communist former president of Haiti, and the radical Lavalas movement.
Fortunately for Harris, but potentially disastrous for the Republic, elected officeholders are not subject to the security clearance process. If the FBI did a Background Investigation on Kamala Harris, she never would have passed because of her 40-year close ties with Marxists, Communists, Maoists, and Communist China. Harris would never have been approved for acceptance to any of the 5 Military Service Academies, been appointed to a US Government Sub-Cabinet position, or would have been approved to fill a sensitive position for a high-security defense contractor. Yet, since Biden was elected, Harris could be a heartbeat away from being president.
If the American voters had read the background information (in Trevor Loudon’s article) on Kamala Harris, they would never have supported her election as Vice President of the United States. Joe Biden has suffered from dementia for several years, and his staff knew it! He continues to decline in cerebral awareness. Since Biden was elected, because Biden would not be up to it, Kamala Harris would lead the effort to appoint very dangerous anti-American Leftists, Communists, Socialists, and Marxists to fill susceptible positions in the Washington Deep State Bureaucracy. She would fill all appointive positions in the US Intelligence Agencies, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, The Justice Department, the Department of State, the FBI, the CIA, most cabinet positions, the National Security Council, and the White House Staff.
President Trump had much more background information on Kamala Harris than we presented here, and he was correct when he accused Kamala Harris of being a Communist subverter.
The Military:
US Army General Mark Milley was not arrested for treason as many thought he should be and may still be on the docket for treason. U.S. military officer Milley took ‘safety precautions’ after Trump alleged treason. Milley retired in 2023 after serving as head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for a tumultuous four years. Mark Milley, set to retire as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he would take “appropriate measures” to ensure his security after former president Donald Trump suggested he had committed a treasonous act that would have once warranted death. Trump last week criticized Milley’s handling of the U.S. withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan in 2020. It said, without providing evidence, that “this guy turned out to be a Woke train wreck who, if the Fake News reporting is correct, was dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States.” “This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!” Trump said on Sept. 22 on his Truth Social platform. There is no doubt that the surrender in Afghanistan aided and abetted a foreign enemy (The Taliban) by supplying the enemy with billions of dollars of equipment and arms.
Asked about the Trump comments during an interview on CBS’s 60 Minutes, Milley, in a clip, first smirked and then, after a long pause, said, “I’ve been faithful and loyal to the constitution of the United States for 44½ years.” He added: “I’ve got adequate safety precautions. I wish those comments had not been made, but they were. And I’ll take appropriate measures to ensure my safety and the safety of my family.” During a Thursday speech in Tempe, Ariz., U.S. President Joe Biden called out the lack of response from Republican party members after Trump’s comments. “Although I don’t believe even a majority of Republicans think that the silence is deafening,” Biden said. “Hardly any Republican called out such heinous statements,”[1] Milley said the China calls were to avoid escalation. In his testimony before Congress in March 2024, he finally admitted that he and the other Generals wanted to delay any withdrawal. Still, the State Department, Blinken, and Biden decided to move ahead and withdraw early, basically surrendering Afghanistan to the Taliban. The Generals could have stood their ground. The Generals backed down and let the State Department take control of military operations. The same scenario took place in Libya when Hillary Clinton and the State Department took over control of the situation there and prevented a military rescue operation, where we lost other American heroes.
Trump’s reference to China appears to relate to two contacts made by Milley by Chinese officials, one in October 2020 as the U.S. presidential election neared and another on Jan. 8, 2021, after Trump supporters attacked the Capitol. Milley and his office have previously characterized the calls as an effort to prevent tense U.S.-China relations from escalating into open conflict.
“The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs regularly communicates with Chiefs of Defense across the world, including with China and Russia,” Milley’s spokesperson said in 2021 after the calls were detailed in longtime Washington journalist Bob Woodward’s book about the administration, Peril. “These conversations remain vital to improving mutual understanding of U.S. national security interests, reducing tensions, providing clarity, and avoiding unintended consequences or conflict.” Yes, and perhaps treason and bypassing the chain of command.
Do general officers have an obligation to tell the truth publicly? Of course, yes! Military culture signals that making leadership look bad is far more dangerous than obediently failing. To date, no military leader has assumed accountability for their failures in the end and Afghanistan’s future.
CNN recently published an article titled “New Evidence Challenges the Pentagon’s Account of a Horrific Attack as the US Withdrew from Afghanistan.” It offers new video evidence and first-hand accounts of a significant gunfight following the suicide bomb attack in Kabul during the American withdrawal. The article illustrates more facts contradicting the current political administration and, by extension, the current military leadership’s version of events. The U.S. military conducted multiple investigations on the Abbey Gate incident but somehow missed the evidence CNN uncovered, concluding that any gunfire was only a result of warning shots and not part of a complex attack. Why would military leadership want to convince parents of killed service members and the rest of the American public that ball bearings from a suicide vest were the only lethal hazard during the attack, despite video evidence demonstrating the opposite?
Objectively, because the American military failure was so complete, a singular suicide bomber not affiliated with the Taliban was less damaging to an already fragile political narrative. The “extraordinary success of this mission,” as the President called the Afghan evacuation five days after the suicide attack, was only marginally credible when echoed by obedient military leaders whom Americans still believed were capable of public honesty.
General McKenzie, the theater commander, echoed his political leadership on 30 August 2021 by calling the operation a “monumental accomplishment.” Two years after his retirement, he stated in a Fox News interview, “I have many regrets about how it ended in Afghanistan. I regret the basic decision, which I think was the wrong decision. And I particularly regret that we did not choose to evacuate our people, our embassy personnel, or American citizens, and our at-risk Afghans at the time we decided to bring out our combat forces. I think that was a serious mistake and directly led to the events of August 2021.” He said, “I believe history will view how the Afghanistan withdrawal was conducted as a fatal flaw, and history will be tough on that.”
While some may appreciate that General McKenzie finally summoned the courage to tell the truth, many others remain upset that American leadership allows military incompetence to hide behind political decisions.
Following the Fox News interview, General McKenzie testified again on 19 March 2024 to the House Foreign Affairs Committee. During the testimony, he didn’t address why a military strong-point within a section of Bagram Airbase wasn’t feasible with his limited numbers or why he couldn’t use public discourse to influence obvious military operational errors. Instead, he stated, “It remains my opinion that if there is culpability in this attack, it lies in policy decisions… It does not lie with the flag officers who oversaw operations on the ground.”
Remember, in the middle of the night on 1 July 2021, under the orders of General McKenzie, military leaders at all levels allowed the abandonment of Bagram Air Base. By doing so, they left behind 5,000 and 7,000 prisoners in the detention facility. Of note, more American-hating prisoners were freed by the Taliban from that prison than the entire American military force that later responded to the self-induced crisis that took place at HKIA airfield.
Military leadership still claims that a foreign fighter slipped past the Taliban and conducted an isolated attack. But it seems much more probable that the suicide bomber and the accomplices originated from the prison on the fortified base (Bagram), which happened to be only 40 miles away from the undefendable base (HKIA airfield). A select few of these newly freed believers of the global caliphate were easily manipulated, assisted, and armed by the Taliban to conduct an attack on an enemy (United States), dominating them for decades. With this understanding, it’s even more embarrassing thinking about a marginalized General McKenzie granting the Taliban complete control of the American military’s exterior security. Before the attack, General McKenzie even publicly called the Taliban “a critical partner.”
And as if the list of Afghanistan military evacuation blunders wasn’t long enough, following the complex attack at the gate, the American military conducted a retaliatory drone strike on the “ISIS-K” enemy. General Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs at the time, conditioned like all other military leaders to support political narratives, quickly declared the drone strike a “righteous strike.” But weeks later, investigative reporters compelled the Defense Department to reveal that the “righteous strike” only killed women and children.
So again, should American citizens expect honesty from military leadership if the truth reflects poorly on political leadership?
The following interview reveals insights into the question. A year ago, on 29 March 2023, Congressman Jim Banks questioned Defense Secretary Austin on the Afghanistan withdrawal.
Rep. Banks: “Do you regret the withdrawal from Afghanistan.”
Secretary Austin: “I support the President’s decision.”
Rep. Banks: “Do you have regrets about the withdrawal or how the withdrawal occurred from Afghanistan that cost the lives of thirteen of our service members?”
Secretary Austin: “I don’t have any regrets.”
Rep. Banks: “You don’t have any regrets, that’s very telling. Secretary Austin, has there ever been any accountability for anyone from the Department of Defense for the deadly, botched, and embarrassing Afghanistan withdrawal? Any accountability?… Has anyone been held accountable? If a Navy Captain grounded a ship, what happens immediately?”
Secretary Austin: “Typically, that Captain is removed.”
Rep. Banks: “That Captain is removed. Has anyone been held accountable for what happened in Afghanistan?” Secretary Austin: “To my knowledge, no.”
Unfortunately for Americans, Secretary Austin epitomizes the lap dog nature of current American military leadership. Secretary Austin signals to all subordinates that facts should be molded within the political narrative of the boss du jour. Other facts, like the video evidence uncovered by CNN during the complex attack at the Abbey Gate, can be quickly dismissed.
Current military leadership protecting a culture of failure does not necessarily mean America has a politicized military, as Risa Brooks proposes in her March 2024 Foreign Affairs article, “The Creeping Politicization of the U.S. Military.” The University of California PhD, having never served in the military, is credentialed as a “military expert” because she worked at a military academy like many other Defense Department attachments. These elitists want to protect the current establishment and believe if the next administration removes current military leaders, it will only further weaken the military. This line of thinking is more of the same. The hard reality is that Americans cannot continue defending military leadership that falls short in basic standards of competence, courage, and accountability.
Despite the PhD’s protests, President Trump must fix the military culture. It starts by removing the current Defense Secretary, Chairman, and similar officers because silent obedience and incompetence should not be tolerated in the American military anymore. We need a Secretary of Defense who will act like General Marshall after WWI and change the culture by firing an entire generation of archaic general officers.
Anyone believing the losing culture of the military can be changed while maintaining current military leadership should contemplate the following three questions:
1) Was the Afghanistan Withdrawal/Evacuation a military failure?
2) Should a General Officer be fired or held accountable for losing a war?
3) Do General Officers have an obligation to tell the truth while still in uniform publicly?
A “yes” answer to any of the above questions signals the need for changes in military leadership. Yet, you won’t find these questions at any E-8 seminar because they demand critical thinking beyond what the current bosses want. Unfortunately, men with power always protect that power despite the costs to We the People. The military is no different. Openly assessing failure is the only way the military evolves.
This administration and the silently obedient general officers cannot change the military’s losing culture after tacitly endorsing it through their actions. The next administration must install new military leadership built on the bedrock of accountability, talent, and moral courage. Rebuilding our military should start with a simple phrase intended for those protecting the losing military culture: “You’re fired.”[2]
Mayorkas/DHS: Countdown to crisis – Impeach Mayorkas for treason.[3]
A House committee held a hearing in January 2024 aimed at beginning the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. But the Senate under Chuckie Schumer set it aside and killed the House bill to impeach Mayorkas. He should have been found guilty of treason for facilitating ten million aliens’ illegal entry. Thanks to Alejandro Mayorkas and the rest of Team Biden, we are now facing a Countdown to Chaos. Several divisions-worth of China’s troops and countless jihadis are poised to wreak havoc here. New leadership committed to protecting America, not betraying and imperiling all of us. In addition, he and DHS are guilty of treason for aiding and abetting the Cartels, avowed enemies of the US, and undermining the laws of the United States.
Some thirty to forty thousand illegals, including foreign agents, have entered the United States under sleepy Joe. Then, in the spring of 2024, Biden offered asylum and entry into the United States for refugees from Gaza.
The FBI/CIA/DOJ:
From the fraudulent Russian hoax to arresting innocent Americans because they may be white extremist, these government agencies have fostered treason. The Federal Bureau of Investigation was once considered the most significant investigative organization in the world. Their investigative talents and reputation were unparalleled. Their website states that the mission is to ‘protect the American people and uphold the Constitution of the United States.’ And they did. They were men and women in white shirts, clean, dedicated, and by the book. But something happened along the way. They became an arm of the Deep State, the deepest part of the swamp, the establishment in Washington, D.C., principally the Democrat Party, which spent years placing operatives in critical permanent positions. The FBI has had some low points, notably Waco and Ruby Ridge, which both involved excessive force and needless death.
Some say the FBI became political, but the FBI was always political, to a point. Every president tries to use the bureau for their political aims. The Department of Justice serves at the pleasure of the president as part of the Executive Branch. It needs to be better understood that the FBI makes assumptions. One of its principal assumptions is that the people, or the electorate, will make the wisest possible choice regarding who leads the country.
The CIA possessed a device for surveillance and meddling in elections. The computer and its software were called Hammer and Scorecard. The CIA has no charter for domestic objectives; therefore, using it for domestic purposes is illegal. Nevertheless, In February 2009, the Obama administration confiscated The Hammer and Scorecard. Notwithstanding, onetime director of the FBI, Robert Mueller, spent $5 million to fund the expansion of the Hammer to be used to spy on Americans and for ‘other’ domestic purposes, according to Dennis Montgomery, the whistleblower.
But the appetite of the Democrat Party and the FBI to win under any circumstances overwhelmed them, drunk with power, you might say. They had to maintain control to realize their dream of ‘fundamentally changing America.’ Having the media in their hip pocket, having the ability to set up pre-arranged questions in interviews, paying for phony Russia collusion stories, and fraudulent primaries—all were not enough. They demanded guarantees. The FBI directors, both former and current, Mueller, Comey, and Wray, known by FBI Special Agents as the Three Amigos, were at Ashcroft’s bedside for the passage of the Patriot Act. When Trump complained that he was being spied on, it was because he was. Of course, the establishment and mainstream media painted him as paranoid.
Washington does not like outsiders. Trump is the quintessential outsider. If you look up the word in the dictionary, you will see Trump’s face. Washington insiders take care of each other. Yes, but someone usually has your back unless you go against their grain. Then you are history.
They know one another and usually have something on everyone to use as leverage. Anyone who has been watching the Washington soap opera knows that the ‘enemy of democracy’ is no longer Marxists (BLM/Antifa, Communist Party USA), Islamic terrorists, or Leftists) burning down cities. To them, the enemy now is ‘far right’ nationalists and white supremacists. In other words, Trump MAGA supporters. The Biden administration has decided to deal with their political opposition, not on issues but in a more ‘permanent’ way—destroy them. Destroy them using lawfare, law applied as loosely as possible, and the Chinese principle of unrestricted warfare. That is, using psychological warfare, media warfare, network warfare, economic warfare, cultural warfare, and drug (vaccine) warfare. According to an FBI whistleblower, the FBI ignored active and planned terror operations emerging from domestic-based terror cells. They shifted blame from Marxist left-wing organizations to the political right, their opposition.
The FBI had replaced fidelity, bravery, and integrity with diversity, equity, and social justice and left the natural enemies of America to do their dirty deeds unmolested. Political correctness and political interference have compromised them. Many former FBI agents ask, “Where was the FBI during the cyberwarfare attack on the 2020 election?” Marxist revolutionaries determined to overthrow the American government have coordinated this into a transnational and international threat, and Christopher Wray, the FBI director, is protecting these treasonous leftist operations. Over three years since evidence was delivered to the FBI concerning massive election fraud in Michigan. There have been no further investigations. While the whistleblower’s infiltration of left-wing domestic terror cells was extensive, the whistleblower found the FBI no longer interested. He or she was told instead to ‘keep looking’ for evidence of ‘white supremacist’ terror operations. Photos of real terror suspects were even presented, but FBI agents remained ambivalent. They kept asking, “Where are the white supremacists?” Where is the investigation of domestic terror plots by the Marxist Antifa, BLM, and CPUSA?
Disregarded were Chinese Communist activities within the United States, terror training facilities run by “Confucius Institutes,” and labor unions under Chinese control. The US constitutional Republic is being threatened by the People’s Republic of Communist China (PPC) externally and by their very active espionage operations within the United States. The People’s Republic of Communist China (PPC), with 1.4 billion people, is governed by the 90 million-member Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which has been working with Russia to destroy the US Constitutional Republic for over 70 years.
In the meantime, on January 6, a militant Black activist, not identified as a Trump supporter, roamed the hallways of the Capitol freely, yelling, “Burn this sh*t down.” He remains relaxing at home under ‘house arrest.’ Meanwhile, patriots quietly walked around the ‘people’s house’ to exercise their right to protest. Following the January 6 incident, FBI agents attempted to contact their ‘asset’ again, seeking evidence that he might have found white supremacists. At that point, the thoroughly disgusted FBI asset cut off all contact with the bureau. It is essential to note that most men and women in the FBI are upstanding citizens and agents, but if they follow unjust and unlawful orders, they are complicit. But it is disappointing that so many agents do whatever they are told, regardless of legality. At any rate, their leadership is swimming in the swamp. Unfortunately, what leadership is there is reflected in rank and file. What makes it the deepest part of the swamp is the 37,000 heavily armed agents. It will take an outsider or a small army of outsiders to clean up the mess. It is a sad story when a vaunted federal crime organization is no longer interested in crime but instead becomes the weaponized arm of a major political party. They may as well turn in their white shirts for brown.
The Media: How Does Social and Media Influence the Real World?
Social Media Marketing is one of the most potent forms of marketing available today. In recent years, the world has seen social media platforms blooming and gaining ever-growing popularity. The power of social media cannot be ignored. The beneficial influence of social media on youth is noticeable, too. As technology grows daily, social media introduces new techniques, which never fails to surprise us. Social media influences play a leading role in our lives.
When appropriately used strategically, social media helps in powerful marketing and is also one of the best forms of market research. Even though social media is powerful and unique, it is also true that a business cannot grow overnight into a success. It takes time and patience. The art is understanding where to put your energy and how to work to achieve results. It is a robust way to reach millions and billions of customers online, helping you get a national and international audience.
We will discuss social media’s powerful aspects, its influence on youth, customers, and businesses, and its benefits, making it robust and impressive. Why social media? Social media is a beautiful way to connect with people around the globe. It can supply real-time updates and information; thus, it has become the primary news source for many. Functionalities allowing users to go live on social media platforms will enable them to share content with a vast audience coverage.
The real question is: “Why do people share information, news, or anything else on social media?” They do it to support a cause or when they strongly agree or disagree with an issue. When users share such posts, many followers re-share to create awareness about a particular topic.
Users on social media share valuable information on different topics to help others understand them. For example, the WHO shares information and news on COVID-19, influencing people and making them fear the virus. However, the influences extend in many other ways, like sharing information about products, services, or events. Social media influences a user’s relationships with other people, who thus use social media platforms to expand their circle and stay in touch with others. It is also an excellent place to get news and information.
People use social media to build their image, create an online presence, and interact with others to influence them. Mainstream and Social Media Influencers:
People with a larger following tend to share their opinions and news with their millions of followers. So, when people with millions of followers share their views, it significantly affects them, as the followers tend to trust the people they have been following. Undoubtedly, these people can influence their followers’ judgment or thought processes. Therefore, they are also known as Social Media Influencers! TV and social media platforms have become essential tools for influencers and companies. Influencers share their experiences with products they have been using, review newly launched products, and promote products. Based on their experiences, followers can decide whether to try a product. Companies can use these platforms to support transparency and show authenticity. These are different attempts to convince their followers to influence their decision-making. However, it is a two-way street. Review systems on platforms like Facebook help people evaluate the credibility of different companies or candidates. Users can review an online retail store, rate a restaurant’s food, a book’s value, or a political candidate’s appeal.
Unfortunately, this process can be easily weaponized. Before blacklisting and banning were allowed, the primary weapon was using “trolls” (paid or false accounts) to bias viewer opinions. A more subtle and better weapon Big Tech uses is biased search engines (like Google) and “shadow banning” to weaponize what users see when they search for a product or candidate.
Social media amplifies information warfare to nuclear levels. A candidate can be demonized and blacklisted, as Facebook and Twitter did to President Trump. Or they boosted, as they did with an unseen Biden who “won” without campaigning. Social media easily manipulates stock values. At the time of this writing, Elon Musk’s multi-billion-dollar purchase of Twitter faces legal action. Half the Twitter users may not be accurate or even exist.
There are also “troll farms,” huge buildings with workstations holding multiple phones so one person can imitate many real customers. There are also “bots,” AI-based computer systems that fake human responses. By some accounts, half the alleged Twitter accounts may be “bots.” Some accounts, including one of the authors, have been “locked” for years but seem impossible to remove.
In their growing panic, Trump became the next President of the United States and disturbed Democrats. Uniparty Republicans are threatening to promote a military coup against him, relieve him of his presidential authority as Commander-in-Chief, install Martial law, and do other things to prevent him from becoming a dictator, Hitler (?), promoting through Information Warfare and propaganda. He was not a dictator before; why would they think so now? But, in the depths of their dysfunctional little brains, they believe it, but I will bet the military does not. Officers could be shot for treason if they lost in the attempt, and it would signal open season on all the Leftists who brought us to this sad end.
Before, during, and after Trump’s first term, the Democrats repeatedly violated the Constitution and the rule of law to eliminate the people’s choice or stop him from doing his job. They succeeded and installed this dipstick of a politician, Joe Biden, in the presidency. America immediately went downhill from then. For the first time in our history, if someone posts, “he’s an idiot,” 90% of the world will know exactly who they are talking about.
The lack of forethought in Joe Biden’s so-called foreign policy decisions is incredible. His once lauded foreign policy expertise, or lack thereof, has brought us to the brink of another world war. Already, because Joe Biden uttered some silly nonsense about not defending Ukraine from ‘minor’ Russian incursions, a green light was flashed to Vladimir Putin, his army already occupying several Ukrainian borders ‘Oblasts’. That Putin’s army could not and has suffered considerable losses in men and equipment in the attempts is evidence enough that Socialist governments, like Russia, are corrupt, very hollow in substance, weak in leadership, and materially poor in equipment. We are learning the same thing about corruption in China’s military. Generals, who were once peasants, saw that the military acquisition program required the construction of an army machine equal to Russia and a Navy better than the US was ripe for the pickings. Chinese Generals have fallen into the same trap as Russian Generals, made feckless by their greed. China’s feared ICBM rockets are inoperable because their fuel tanks were siphoned off for fuel to heat and cook in Chinese homes and refilled with water, rendering them unable to launch; military aircraft built from stolen plans that render them unaffordable to maintain after a few hours of flight, are incapable of challenging the US Navy in direct combat.
Our military-industrial complex is in full swing, trying to replace the stock of munitions we supplied to Ukraine as well as keeping Israel replenished. The fear that China will soon attack Taiwan hangs like ripe fruit on a tree. In the event China does decide to launch its long-threatened attack even with inferior equipment, now is the time to do it because Joe Biden, as he did to Ukraine, just flashed a green light to Emperor Ji to do just that. Joe Biden, a compromised paid agent of the Chinese Communist Party and, like his CCP masters not liking the outcome of Taiwan’s recent presidential election of a pro-independence candidate, changed his mind and said, “We do not support independence for Taiwan.” Biden had unequivocally vowed to defend Taiwan if China attacked and now, like his climate czar John Kerry, has flipped-flopped. Our Joe cannot serve two masters, China and his pledge to defend Taiwan, but he’s trying.
America now looks to a Renaissance of Donald J Trump to Make America Great Again. Forever America, proud and humble!
