We are most wisely appreciated
and anticipated
in the press
of public fame
and the stress
of personal gain
Not
by the quantity
of our autocratic popularity
But
by the quality
of our democratic integrity.

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.
TrumPublican ReVival
If there were no infamous passion for Donald Trump,
then he would not be where he is right now.
So, what would it mean to bury the TrumPublican NonParty?
not with the condemning verdict of not worthy
but rather worthy of healthier democratic treatment
than to further empower partisan apartheid
over bipartisan cooperative belonging
North with South
urban with rural
rich with poor creolizing
bicamerally co-intelligent
mind-liberating/body-conserving cooperation?
Inter-religiously re-membering
outside-traditional-lines multicultural curiosity
has been more resiliently empowering
within Earth’s polycultural history
than jealous monotheistic aggressions
against organic bilateral health care-giving
and peacefully interdependent care-receiving.
Histories of ecosystemic resilience
balance successful human nature
and resonantly holistic Earth nature
nurturing resilient economies
empowering both sacredly humane
and organically divine
equivalent democratic emerging
from prehistoric SunFather enlightening
EarthMother empowering
monotheistically transcendent light
pantheistically immanent power
cobinary political consciousness
To free ourselves from TrumPublican systemic trauma
with an ecotherapeutic landslide
of healthy democratic love
for sacred SunGod/EarthGaia belonging together
Healthier and wealthier and wiser
than falling into further uncivil apartheid
Healthy EarthMother synergetic caregiving

and good-faith communities
could enjoy more robust health

Conservatively continuing to polyculturally evolve,

Of bicameral co-intelligence

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.
Powers of Enlightenment
I’ve noticed our Republic’s
IrReligious RightWing Tree of Life v Death
reacts to root-systemic problems
as if oak strong branches
lifted to majestic worshiping heights
of crowning supremacy
need not be concerned
with watering
and feeding democratic roots
of nutrition
nursing organic trust
and nurturing EarthMother empowerment.
Such behavior feels less organically intelligent
than a sacred Tree of MotherEarth
More like a gang
of Bully Putin Pulpits
and capital addicted TrumPublican Puppets
with upset expansive stomachs,
boundlessly hungry eyes
and private paranoid parts,
and irritatingly irreligious deaf ears
Trying to feed
from entitled top,
trickling down to lowly
leftover
humiliated bottoms,
what we must primally breed
and seed
from deep down
communing democratic trust inside
Roots musing down
and communicating in
to feed organic communion up
and sacred community out
Conserving crown to root neurological tree-systems
resonantly nurturing
harmoniously liberacious crowns
both/and
win/win
organic/sacred
resiliently conservational root systems
interdependently
inter-religiously
empowering/enlightening communion.
Not quite so angry
with enfeebled branched-out leaders
and not mad
with anemically sad internal conspiracies
and bad dis-investment habits
rather than glad co-investment skills
for resolving which top bully,
devouring all challenger bullies,
will next be crowned King
of trauma-riddled TrumPublican triumph
Trumped-up singing:
It’s my party
and you’ll cry
when I want you to.
Meanwhile
democratic grassroot systemic wisdom
burns and blows
drowns and starves
Degenerating patriarchal migraines
and not regenerating grains
of deep-rooted integrity
to feel multicultural health
trust

wisdom
compassion
loving kindness
pronoia peace
courageous polycultural curiosity
about interweaving wisdom
of inter-religious root systems.
Liberating resonant crowns
and conserving resilient roots,
bipartisan integrity of a wealthy
healthy
EarthMothered Tree.
Or so it seems to me
noticing our disunited Republic’s
troubled Tree of CrownHeavy Life
reacting against healthy multicultural democracy
Deaf
to wilderness voices of dying forests
coral reefs
oceans
topsoil
shrinking polar caps
glaciers
rivers
EarthMother’s unenlightened crown of thorns
and disempowering trunk of sorrows,
man-privileged monotheistic
irreligiously and monoculturally wrong
ecocidally desecrating
anthropocentric maladaptive root-trauma
cannot resiliently support
TrumPublican crown drama.
Bad Humors Destroy Feelers
Good Humors Create Healers
Electing and selecting humorless weaponed officials
to legislate and administer laws
empowering challenged and challenging
unarmed natures,
is like expecting a rabid rattlesnake
to advocate with and for patience,
understanding through calming and merciful listening,
to apply active love’s curiously empathic trust,
which no just law, or logical practice thereof, could prohibit.
The truth of complex situations,
so necessary to uncover for wise application of our ethical codes
for economic and political behaviors,
is best accessed by vulner-ability
to co-empathic trust,
active listening,
Basic Win/Win Anticipation,
as is intelligent paradoxical humor.
Loss of humor’s appositional equanimity
is an ominous spiritual v natural sign
Yet another rabidly riled-up,
not yet cooled-down, rattlesnake
with too much “healthiest defense
is a massively wealthy offense”
post-traumatic neurosystemic intelligence.
If you are feeling like delivering toxic venom,
rather than inviting kindness in return,
then probably best and brightest
to stay home
and curl up on a warm rock.
Hard-hearted victimization intent
to neglect and abuse,
marginalize and criminalize, others
is not softened or redeemed
by anything less or more than orthopraxis of loving kindness
with a good-humored smile, as possible,
without someone thinking you are up to something devious.
Pronoia’s comedy is most effective therapeutic drama
when transparently co-responding
to the co-empathic paradox
of paranoia’s tragically triggered trauma.
Those who expect citizens to behave civilly,
best mentor what they would optimally hope to see
on our FlashMob singing streets
and not MassMurder flinging roads
and life’s Competing Business As Usual highways
and bad rumored conspiracy byways.
Front-line customer service to those suspected,
or even known,
to struggle with bad-sad-mad humored tendencies,
cannot be optimally effective
by treating them to further misdemeanors of humorless
unglad
cold-blooded
unsym-pathetic
systemic winner v loser
0-sum paranoid rabidity.
Are you in our shared health-humored busyness?
or in our too much anger/fear pathological business,
or, paradoxically, both?
If both,
which direction seems to bring you,
and the rest of us,
economically wealthier ecological,
and healthier political,
resilient relationship outcomes?
I would love to anticipate more good humored officials
(and clergy)
for multiculturally transformative public health
and become less anxious
about officious nests
of reformative rattlesnakes
threatening venomous rabidity
of bad-sad-mad humored pathology.
Positive Politics
I am aware
we have a growing conservative academic position
that political science
becomes too didactic for scientific neutrality
when political scientists are too pro-liberating democracy
v pro status-quo theocracy,
plutocracy,
autocracy,
kleptocracy, etc.
too delusionally enthusiastic about economic
and sociological
and neurological health meritocracy
too positive about win/win co-empathic trust
as our best and brightest eco-political polypath
toward subjectively advocating for:
polytheistic/monotheistic co-liberating faith
polyculturally positive hope
and resonantly polyphonic love.
It does seem that this conservative political skepticism
bites the liberal education system that has fed them,
put probably uncontaminated food on their deregulation tables,
paid their gated suburban mortgages.
As conservative academic views
Trumpian turn toward military-industrialized advocacy
of second amendments to a better dead
than not-red constitution
for national corporate monoculturing greed
and irreligiously anthropocentric monotheism
I nervously notice that patriarchal conservation
of straight-western-white corporate
monocultural colonizing traditions
have become rather too comfortable
with a disempowering and unenlightened monstrous
win/lose 0-sum evolutionary survival hypothesis
that therapeutic and medicinal sciences best remain neutral
about climates and cultures of healthcare,
compassionate kindness,
and neurosystemic win/win peace,
while growing rabidly dissociative tolerance
for conserving anthro-entitled pathologies
such as divesting of international healthcare
environmental safety
secure and effective home and life prosperity
and vaccinated domestic defense systems.
My idea of scientific neutrality takes a Positive Psychology position
that terrorism and fascism and racism,
like narcissism and anthropocentrism and nihilism
and monoculturing patriarchal anti-feminism
and monopolistic winner takes all capitalism
And other forms of neurosystemic
and ecosystemic trauma,
no longer seem political-choice neutral
about effective and healthy governance
when conservative educators and advocates
are choosing peaceful and non-toxic residential climates
and cooperative family co-investment economies
and federal/state cooperative tax revenue associations.
Exceptions to this win/win co-governance golden rule
might be political and economic scientists
who enjoy teaching
while parenting macho-tyranny within their own troubling
autocratic fear- and anger-mongering homes
plutocratically gated neighborhoods
dysfunctional polarized school boards
and disturbing town non-dialogical non-councils.
Truly objective political health standards
can be explored and discovered through subjective neutrality
and yet conclude that nihilism
is not an effective neurosystemic governance strategy
just as denialism
cannot achieve efficient ecosystemic stewardship capacity.
I look forward to a more cooperatively graced
co-intelligent bicameral meritocracy
nominating and electing
and rewarding and preferentially selecting
effective democratic healthcare scientists
co-passionate policy designers
religious and public sector leaders
of polyculturing inside/outside climate therapies
Having win/win engaged bipartisan kindness
isn’t win/lose apartisan meanness,
and presented a well-documented commitment
to co-empathic liberating-mind/conserving-body nondual trust
in therapeutic evolutionary merits
(not devolutionary demerits)
of neurosystemic co-operative enlightening
and ecosystemic empowering
woke up political consciousness.
EcoPolitics of HealthCare
EcoPolitics intends to be culturally
and ecologically
normative,
improving in capacity to become historically descriptive
of healthy enlightened minds
in organically
and environmentally safe
empowered bodies.
Politics is about the effectiveness of power
in anthropological relationships.
Economics is about efficient financial resilience,
sustainable consilience
of shared values,
fundamentally rooted in win/win cooperative power
of individual AND social wealth governance.
EcoPolitics conjoins
sweat equity and monetized equity
nurturing fair-climate meritocracy.
Political power needs shared health-positive values
for our economic choices and behavior
to remain consistent with cooperative wealth-positive
win/win bipartisan political intentions and assumptions
about multicultural robust democratic health
over resilient polyculturing ecological wealth
co-invested Anthro/Earth interdependent time.
We can predict our future ecopolitical climate of health v pathology
by noticing our resonant neurosystemic integrity
and dissonant ecosystemic degenerativity
when wealth-valued goods feel unsustainably unhealthy
and disempowering political trauma
of community disorganization
feels like unenlightened blame-the-economy drama
of dissociative anti-cooperative,
and possibly demonic,
theater.
The cooperative v competitive polycultural economy
of organic Earth’s ecological climate
predicts the cooperative v competitive multicultural politics
of sacred Humanity’s anthropologically healthy culture
and desecrating inhumanity’s anthrosupremacist
monotheistic monopolistic monocultural
neurosystemic stress
of chronic ecopolitical distrust.
Commodification of cultural values
is an anti-democratic economic trend of capitalism
devoid of healthy polyculture-positive purpose.
Dis-ecological anthrosupremacist
autocratic LeftHemisphere verbally dominant
RightWing ecopolitical Win/Lose trauma outcomes,
RightHemisphere nonverbal nonviolent Win/Win
left dissonantly unmitigated,
predict the disempowering distrust of Rob Brezsny’s
“If you’re happy and you know it,
clank your chains.”
Anthrosupremacist monopolistic value economies
devoid of our polyculturally interdependent win/win root-systems,
such as win/lose survivalist capitalism,
but also ego-centric
and anthro-privileged
and ethnocentric
and nationalistic totalitarian monoculturalism
suboptimize our potential for multiculturally healthy ecopolitics
of cooperative economic EarthTribal wealth.
Co-empathic nonverbal trust
and co-intelligent verbal integrity
to outshine dyspeptic monocultural distrusts
and irreligious monopolistic agendas
and monotheistic religiosity issues
and RightWing neurosystemic trauma,
our potential for reciprocal peace commissions
stronger than sins of unenlightened
and disempowering dis-eased omissions.
Mistrust of win/lose militarized-corporate BusinessAsUsual
is a win/win non(0)-sum ecopolitical Tipping Point indication
of which way to turn toward politically green regeneration,
global humanitarian salvation,
economics of cooperative
authentic
integral re-ligious AnthroMind/EarthBody co-redemption.
Relationships are for and of politically resonant health,
as humane/divine transactional values win/win co-binary
+1/-(-0) invest
and win/lose individualistic 0-sum divest
Sacred ecologically resilient
LiberatingMind/ConservingBody co-empathically evolving
bicameral co-intelligence stretching
continuously inclusive polypathic
polyvagal neurosystemic empowering trust
earnestly hoping and struggling to leave no one and no thing behind
because the cost of doing so is cognitive/affective dissonance
which blocks Positive Psychology Peace
like lose/lose death lacks win/win
mind/body resonant life.
All sensory relationships are political,
including multi-generational transactional histories about power.
All transactions have economic enculturation histories
of democratic co-investment and autocratic divestment.
We tend to think of political sciences
when discussing anthropoligical power of self+other governance,
as we tend to think of economic sciences
when exploring ecologically healthy co-investments
as contrasted with monoculturally pathological infestment
and Othering divestment transactions
But,
financially enlightened transactions
can also be politically empowering choices
about future multicultural cooperation v. monocultural competition
informed by polytheistic RightHemisphere indigenous intuitions
and monotheistic LeftHemisphere cognitive historical dominance.
Politics is about anthropologically empowering/disempowering investment choices informed by a healthy polycultural climaxing EarthWealth history
within polyvagal neurosystemic enculturing time.
Cooperative economics is about ecologically enlightened/unenlightened investment/divestment
win/win-win/lose-lose/lose polyvagal resonance/dissonance
in nutritionally fruitful/unfruitful
cooperative/competitive
organic network choices.
EcoPolitics is RightHemisphere normatively
and LeftHemisphere descriptively
renewing great and small transitional co-investments
in polypathic ecological climates of wealth
and polyvagal anthropological cultures of health
seeking beloved abundant communal outcomes,
polycultural climax resilience,
panentheistic sacredMind/organicBody revival
of bicameral ego/eco religioning
LeftLiberating/RightConserving

Economically Great Political Health
What are your power values and disvalues?
What are the political powers and weaknesses,
capacities and incapacities,
of economic value and disvalue?
What values are not for sale?
What powers are available, but only without commodification,
without any price paid in return?
I’m noticing my economic values,
like ecological healthcare values,
co-arise with powers of cooperative relationships
Empowering win/win relationships
are not exhausting win/lose competitive exchanges
understood as broadly as possible to effect

not decrease
or at least sustain resonant environmental wealth investments
in resiliently healthy anthropocentric

My physical body’s powers
and lack of powers
to re-invest in metaphysical economic comprehension
of personal investment in,
and past divestment away from,

What could a living planet’s economic values possibly become

So, what are your religiously right
