Departments of Propaganda

2025 Steven Cheung

Communications director Steven Cheung accused the Nobel prize panel of proving “they place politics over peace” by failing to honor the president.

“He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will,” Cheung tweeted.

1933 Joseph Goebbels

The Reich Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda (Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda, RMVP), also known simply as the Ministry of Propaganda (Propagandaministerium), controlled the content of the press, literature, visual arts, film, theater, music and radio in Nazi Germany.

The ministry was created as the central institution of Nazi propaganda shortly after the party’s national seizure of power in January 1933

Communication: intends to empower with information

Propoganda: intends to disempower with disinformation

Perhaps if the TrumPulican administration had the integrity to let us know up front that the Heritage Foundation’s 2025 agenda for crushing healthy bipartisan democracy in favor of autocratic TrumPublican hegemony

And if the TrumPublican administration had the transparency of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels, to rename the White House’s Communication Office to Propaganda Office

Maybe, just maybe, more evangelical Christians would remember that Hitler’s appeal to the voters was a Germany First and make Christian Germany great again sloganeering; and when voters empower populist sloganeering, what follows is autocratic propaganda, instead of democratic communication.

Federal SmackDown

If it please the Court,
I have a layman’s question
about this federal government shutdown.

I’m guessing you all have noticed
in the Constitution’s Preamble
that it’s purpose includes
to create a more perfect union.

I’m wondering if you are concerned,
as I am,
that when the President swore to defend that Constitution
maybe he hadn’t read
and actually comprehended his administrative responsibilities
toward achieving this “more perfect union”

Rather than throwing all his administrative resources
behind creating a more perfectly partisan disunion,
which I believe the background discussion notes
from the forefathers’ constitutional convention mentions
as something they all hoped
authentic democratic intention
would preclude.

With this historical-contextual conservative background
in mind,
I would like to hear your legal opinion
about the President’s constitutional right (or wrong)
to disproportionately shutdown federal government staffing
and financial resources
in those States where the majority did not vote for him.

I guess my follow-up question,

If this is the President’s constitutional right,
to create a more perfect partisan disunion,
then does it follow
that the corporations and private citizens
in Blue States
should be paying a reduced federal tax rate?
to avoid historical problems
of no taxation without representation.

Whack-A-Mole Monarchy

The Naked Emperor has been really ticked off lately.

Seems like longtime known enemies, those who have foolishly complained that he is butt-ugly devoid of divinely inspired truth and beauty attire, have not yet been forced to atone for their bull-headed integrity. This invokes His Highness’s anger and also fear. If he can’t force them to their knees then others might think they can get away with denying His supreme political and economic wardrobe.

So He forces His legal staff to pursue his oldest and loudest ungrateful lackey to make him pay for his disloyal sins. Naked revenge will quiet any unruly masses; then He will feel, and look, better–the fairest of them all, ever, anywhere, throughout the history of kingdoms.

Indeed, the Naked Emperor Fan Club with which He surrounds himself celebrates His naked power and monolithically enlightened arraignment.

And yet, repressd enemies, like suppressed pain, risks the possibility that vexing nay-sayers may portend more deeply embedded challengers.

While those in the Naked Emperors fawning royal red court are reassured and subdued by His vengefully monolithic beauty, it turns out that a CommonSense Crowd is aware of a consensus that their Naked Emperor is also a naked fool.

To force His self-righteously personal revenge, dressed up in the clothes of monarchical authority, He loses several seasoned and respected staff, who don’t respond well to intimidation and threat and verbal abuse. He thereby empowers more enemies; far more than he will ever have time to lock up and throw away the key.

These thorns become highly polarized voices, soon joined by a vast silently traumatized majority, rapidly expanding a nakedly obvious point of healthy democratic view. The Emperor’s gorgeously powerful coattails are shrinking toward invisibility, as his adoration-seeking nose grows embare-assingly longer.

The Emperor feels increasingly lonely at the top of his impoverished imperial wardrobe, especially at night. Nightmare headlines of MeToo declaring that this Naked Emperor is not only politically naked, but morally corrupt. Worst dressed Emperor in the history of feckless foolish Emperors, anywhere, anytime in the history of democratically dressed public trust.

The more democratic heads he whacks, the more popping up, speaking and acting up, out-voting him and all his conman fools who have refused to impeach his self-reputed divinely inspired raiment; now flashmob gladly disputed as sadly wounded madly messianic ideation.

Dressed in depressing autocratic whack-a-mole dispassion; undressed by impressive democratic love-your-moles compassion.

Healthy Hope

Your help empowers their hope,
your hope enlightens their help.

Your help empowers their health,
your health enlightens their help.

Hopeful trust thrives healthier
than trauma-terrorized
cynically vengeful distrust.

This is not a mental health
nor a political science
nor a religious
nor a sex therapist
secret.

Why does this same health-receiving and care-giving connection
seem so disconnected in our capital-fueled
straight white exclusive male ownership
historically dominant
public service business sector?

Governing
our tribal reds v blues,
our ungreen town halls,
bored with multicultural
inter-religious
compassionate reading and writing
and nonverbal communication

Co-empathic
FatherSun enlightened
EarthMother empowering
win/win cobinary
co-intelligent
indigenous wisdom education.

Actively curious care-giving,
compassionately pleasing peaceful pleasure,
enlightens economic co-investment
and democratically cooperative health,
further expanding boundaries of co-empathic trust.

Competing despairs of economic and political
financial and social dissociative dissonance,
violent irreligious discommunication,
decays into mutually assured destruction,
unweaving healthy fabrics

Of God’s mind-passion
and Gaia’s body-pleasure
coming from
and powering toward
a global green
resiliently wealthy
polyculturally curious
compassionate care-giving
Whole Holy EarthTribe EcoSystem

Within which
it is no anthropocentric secret
that unitarian care-giving
empowers universal health-receiving hope.

Tao of Healing Peace

Which comes first?
asked Justice Sage
of Peaceful Muse

Divinely inspired Peace
or Humanely expired Passion?

For amusing organic bodies
inspiring sage minds
perspiring pronoia purposes

While DivineSage minds
worship HumaneMuse bodies
anticipating deep sacred meanings

Unveil organic unitarian Muse purposes
flowing toward
prevailing universal sacred Sage meaning
peace forms

Pronoia Gaia’s hypothetical paradox
Gnostic God’s metaphysical orthodox

How could SageMind remember anticipating
organically resilient purpose
without MuseBody religiously conjoining
sacredly resonant meaning?

Why would democratically organic bodies
reproduce belonging
autocratically sacrilegious minds
seduce longing

For sacred AnthroSage inspiring Peace
love songs refueling
Organic EarthMuse perspiring Passion
justice dances restoring

Which sacred longing first
comes organic belonging last?

Doing PolyAmorous Paradise

When I was eight
I knew Paradise could not be merely secular humane
and yet be kind
and omnipotently divine

when a Great Horned Owl
breathed her last sacred breath toward me,
left alone
while she flew away
to where I would poorly follow
in my robust adult time.

It took me eight cycles of octave eight
to realize why
Paradise must include safe nests for diverse fowl,
politically
and ecologically cooperative seas
flowing complex schools of graceful fish
and surf’s bilateral co-gravity
flowing out here
and ebbing in now
breathing Earth’s healthy paradise past
and wealth-empowering future
polyamorous eternity.

Because an anthropocentric Paradise
would be monolithically,
and monotonously,
and monotheistically oxymoronic,
a scientifically and religiously ridiculous
metaphysical nightmare,
not ecologically sustainable,
not psychologically palatable

not even harmonically healthy potential paradise
because not synergetically
polyphonically
polypathically
polyculturally
or polytheistically healthy
wealth of peak co-empathic experience

regeneratively compelling
and degeneratively disspelling
economically enlightened
and politically empowering
co-intelligent empathic/dyspeptic
polytheistically inclusive
indigenous wisdom design.

Every polyvagal body knows
Heaven begins and ends
in an organically holistic
and politically democratic
globally healthy Earth Garden
with zero-balanced waste wealth stream
and nonzero-soul kind-kin potential
panentheistic elegant integrity,
yes?

So how does denying our naturally embodied climate
and unkind mind-wasting spiritual pathologies
help us become the perpetually ReStorative Paradise
we might synergetically peace together

Healing decadently autocratic Hell
monotheistically against sacredly wealthy
organically healthy Gaia Earth.

Once Upon A Christian Time

Once upon a Roman Empire building time
a brilliantly pleasing boy was born
of humble Jewish means,
named Jesus.

Born into autocratic occupation,
to avoid military police threats
of mass Jewish male child murder,
Jesus and his mom and dad
became EastBound immigrants,
away from Western kleptocratic ruin.

Jesus was thereby exposed
to more Eastern polytheistic
and pantheistic polycultures
before returning home
to listen and learn literacy
from rabbinical monotheists.

In this time of foreign occupation,
Roman military personnel policed and preyed upon
the prosperous
and innocent
and vulnerable

Creating a divide among Rabbi leaders,
some siding with the Zealot Party
who wanted to overthrow fascist red Roman Rule
and thereby establish an Israel nation-state
reforming Judaism’s land-based theocracy
into more of a Jewish nation-state
plutocracy.

Some rabbis found this too politically nationalistic
and not enough Jewish extended family spiritual,
rooted in Promised Land natural indigenous wisdom
enlightened by One SunGod Creator
shining more Torah manifestly
on His Chosen People

To grow pacifically fruitful,
and not always militantly at war
and threatening war
against Creator’s extended family

Chosen to passionate pleasure prosper
in a divinely manifest more perfect union,
thereby empowering YHWH’s open hospitality Way
of defending peace-fulfilling orthodox Truth
sacred green pasturing
a promised sacred Garden Paradise
of organically healthy EarthLife.

Jesus grew into a young messiah
Prince of SunFather’s enlightening Peace,
although surrounded by his Judaism Tribe
long hoping for a nation-building Zionist,
and not so much an advocate
of non-violent communicating
inter-religiously transformative serenity,
not fundamentally about reforming trauma,
the politically autocratic
and economically demonic face
of weaponized atrocities.

Despite lack of rabbinical support,
Jesus had a God is love for peace
healthy gospel message
inspiring His HolyBody-MindSpirit.

When asked if He supported paying tribute
to war- and fear-mongering Ceasar,
He said to give to Ceasar
what is capitalist coin-producing
military empire-building Ceasar’s,
leaving unsaid the remainder

His religiously mature PeaceTribe
would continue their domestic barter economy
and their Torah-teaching schools
and their walk a second mile
and turn the other cheek
gratitude Beatitudes,
to be known by their love for each other
and not by their fear of
or anger against
unredeemed Other.

At every turn
Jesus lived and taught Love’s way of peace,
consistently giving religious preference
to restorative peace-making
rather than zealous Zionist
Chosen Nation retributive justice
against those who spoke other languages,
against those immigrating from Othered cultures
against those who had sinned
and fallen monopolistically short
of One SunFather’s radically polyamorous
democratic glory

Light empowering even sparrows
and glorious lilies
and prodigiously faith-filled mustard seeds.

Jesus’s consistent retort
to toxic religiosity:
who among us hasn’t failed
Love’s relentlessly religious integrity
of transformational peace?

While Jesus was sad,
tearful about disappointing evangelical
IsraelFirst sceptics,
he promised that his pleasing compassion presence
would become more democratically accessible
upon his panentheistic Holy Spirit/Nature’s return,
sacredly organic
mindfully embodied
blood and bread indigenously wise
inter-religious communion.

And to this day
authentic Christians are discerned
not by their fundamental
scripture-based
“original-intention” orthodoxy
or their evangelical nationalistic patriotism
but by their liberally compassionate
Holy MindSpirit-BodyNature fruits

Including,
yet not limited by anything
anyone
any relationships
other than their demonic irreligious
fear- and anger-
and hate- and war-mongering opposites:

Peace: spiritual-mind/natural-body calm;
not unnatural/unspiritual chaos

Joy: deeply passionate contentment
not widely dispassionate discontent

Faith: spiritual-mind/natural-body confident curiosity;
not dispirited/denatured insecure Holier Than Thou religiosity

Kindness: compassionate care giving;
not dispassionate uncaring unforgiving

Charity: passionately pleasing Christian [peace-making] warm regard;
not dispassionately displeasing evangelical [war-making] disregard

Patience: thoughtfully considering trauma’s historically dissociative feelings;
not thoughtlessly dismissing therapeutic re-associative [re-ligious] faith

Gentleness: graciously considerate religious practices
not disgracefully inconsiderate irreligious malpractices

Modesty: CreationCentered respectful humility;
not anthropocentric disrespectful greed

Goodness: regeneratively moral integrity;
not degeneratively immoral hypocrisy

Longanimity (long-suffering): resilient revitalizing loyalty;
not fragile corrupt disloyalty

Self-control: engaging mind/body healthy opportunities;
not performing spirit-mind v nature-body unhealthy risks

Chastity: purity in associative actions;
not impurity in dissociative reactions.

And so it is
in this Make Christianity Healthy Again story
we might re-ligiously conclude

Zionism is to Judaism
in brilliant Prince of PeaceFull day
as Evangelism is to Christianity
in irreligiously nationalistic
dispassionate display

Dismay threatening to disintegrate
inter-religious peace-making
through merely MAGA evangelistic play.

What does transcultural Truth
transformative Way
Holy SpiritMind-NatureBody of Jesus
organic love-making (not hate-baking) do
and sacred peace-making say?

When re-membering
this greatest non-militaristic story ever told,
that once upon a Roman Empire building time
a brilliant Prince of Peace was born
of humble Jewish means,
named Jesus.

Just Say Yes Is Not Speaking No

Just say yes
to not yet gone
not yet going against your way
not yet becoming distrusted distanced dissonance.

Those of us more blessed in the Pronoia Psychology department,
and yet perhaps all of us somewhat more win/win therapeutically
not opaquely winner v loser traumatized,
enjoy healthy qualities of life that we all do want,
and an equal quantity of negative appositional qualities
that we would do better
healthier
and more rationally
without.

These are, by definition,
and by comparison with their more positive counterparts,
pathological,
as resonance recovers from dissonance,
eco-pleasure from ego-pain.

As democratic integrity grows
to expose late-great disintegrating autocratic transitions,
as a healthy Earth climate recovers
from comparatively compromised
unhealthy nationalistic
and anthropocentric subclimates.

We all want more beauty
so less ugly.
We want more good health eruption
and less bad wealth corruption.

More trusted religious
pronoia climaxing truth
so less distrusted irreligious
paranoid collapsing untruths.

We all want more sacred outside places and spaces and times
and resilient WholeEarth climate paradigms
so less inside pathologizing of organic heart and body and mind
and resonant polycultural rhymes.

We all want more compelling economic and political relationships
and less rabidly dispelling trauma
distrust
and disempowering xenophobic hatred.

We all want more prosperous democratic power-with
so less unprosperous autocratic power-against;
or do we?

We all need neither too much uneasy spiritual sectarianism
nor too little easy natural organic intersectionalism.

We all want our Self and significant Other
co-empathic optimizing time
delivered neither too late for Self
nor too soon for Other.

These co-arising
co-binary
Tipping Point double-binding appositions
of +1 PolyNomial EgoSpace and -(-0) BiNomial EcoTime
mutually shared polypathic MindHere/BodyNow wants,
with our NonPolynomial oppositional not-wants.

We all need more peaceful
inter-religiously resonant order,
so less stressful
irreligious dissonant chaos now,
to stay spaciously enlightened
and timelessly co-empowered here
and now

Neither too SacredEgoMind soon
nor too OrganicEcoBody late,
but just rightly polyvagally peacefully balanced here
on tipping bilateral points
toward eternally rational
ecologically co-relational
positively polymathic musicians here
pronoia musing now.

We all need
not too soon is not too late
quality of EgoMind/EcoBody co-intelligence
bicameral space/time co-binaries

Not wanting
too little sacred AnthroPeace
dancers Here
not wanting
too distant organic EarthJustice
dancing Now

Just say yes to loving life
not yet gone,
not yet going against your democratic way
not yet becoming distrusted
distanced
deadly autocratic dissonance.

Innocence

Children fill in leaking emotional cracks
in home and family’s nurturing support
with deaf and blind lies
of eternal ever after
nursing happiness

Democratic healthiness
grasped quickly
before autocratic adolescence
