An edition of Panorama, broadcast a week before the 2024 US election, spliced together clips of a Trump speech made on 6 January 2021. The spliced clip suggested that Trump told the crowd: 'We're going to walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with you, and we fight. We fight like hell.' The words were taken from sections of his speech almost an hour apart.

Yet, notwithstanding the gadgets -- the rockets and the robots and the Department of Government Efficiency Musketeers, carrying backpacks crammed with laptops, dreaming of replacing federal employees with large language models -- few figures in public life are more shackled to the past. On the day of Donald Trump's inauguration, Mr. Musk told a roaring, jubilant crowd that the election marked 'a fork in the road of human civilization.' He promised to 'take DOGE to Mars' and pledged to give Americans reasons to look 'forward to the future.' In 1932, when civilization stood at another fork in the road, the United States chose liberal democracy, and Franklin Roosevelt, who promised 'a new deal for the American people.' In his first 100 days, Mr. Roosevelt. signed 99 executive orders, and Congress passed more than 75 laws, beginning the work of rebuilding the country by establishing a series of government agencies to regulate the economy, provide jobs, aid the poor and construct public works. Mr. Musk is attempting to go back to that fork and choose a different path. Much of what he has sought to dismantle, from antipoverty programs to national parks, have their origins in the New Deal. Mr. Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration provided 8.5 million Americans with jobs; Mr. Musk has measured his achievement by the number of jobs he has eliminated." https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/opinion/elon-musk-doge-technocracy.html #IRLEntrepreneurElonMusk #CharacterisationVisionaryFuturist #MetaphorWarfareHeroMusketeer #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyPOTUSFranklinDRooseveltFDR #IRLHistoricalFigureJoshuaHaldeman #PoliticsGovernanceTechnocracy #MetaphorDiseaseMindVirus #ToponymAmericaNorthUSCaliforniaNorthernSiliconValley #TauntPresumptionHubris #IRLEntrepreneurMarcAndreessen #TheoryFuturismFilippoTommasoMarinetti #PoliticsAuthoritarianismAutocracy https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/04/opinion/elon-musk-capitalism.html #NarrativeUtopiaPlacelessness #IRLAuthorDouglasAdams #IRLAuthorHGWells #IRLAuthorIainBanks #WorksSeriesTheCulture #ToponymAfricaSouthernSouthAfrica #BrandAmazonJeffBezos #PowerControlSegregationApartheid #IRLAuthorNovelistUrsulaLeGuin #IRLAuthorVirginiaWoolf

#EDUCAUniversityOfOttawaRitaAbrahamsen, #EDUCAUniversityOfOttawaMichaelWilliams "Ahmari's essay on dystopia begins by observing that 'Those of us who inhabit the Very Online Right like to point out how this or that new social phenomenon resembles this or that dystopian fiction. ... these resemblances to fictional dystopias should arrest us' (Ahmari 2021). Then he asks, 'What if dystopia is already here? What if our territory already conforms to maps drawn long ago by science-fiction authors? Could it be that we have crossed the invisible frontier that divides an ordinary place, an ordinary topos, from a dystopian realm?' Indeed, Ahmari is effusive in lauding the ability of dystopian fiction to place issues of the day (such as 'cancel culture, woke-ism and gender ideology') within wider frameworks that 'uncover the deeper currents shaping our age.' He sees these contemporary phenomena as 'merely the acceleration of older and deeper processes of ideological transformation' that dystopian fiction can help expose." Abrahamsen, R. and M. C.

Other figures, such as Joe Rogan, Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard, though not of the Right ideologically, can be counted as fellow travelers. Just as how AM radio have been the medium of choice for tech-savvy conservatives during the years of Reagan and Bush, the Internet have been the broadcasting tool for the online Trump supporters. Conservatives' favorite punching bag have been the well-to-do elites from the coasts, who are seen as unattached to a locality.

#IRLAuthorPeterJukes "Viewed against that history, Musk's line about 'abolishing' the EU ^{[tweet] [jpeg]} is more than a libertarian thought experiment. It condenses the political slogans of Trumpism and Brexit into one sentence: the nation-state as the only legitimate unit of sovereignty; supranational institutions as inherently undemocratic; the EU as something done to people, not by them. Medvedev's one-word response - 'Exactly' - makes plain how neatly this dovetails with Moscow's long-term ambitions. As former president and now deputy chair of Russia's Security Council, he has become one of the regime's most aggressive public voices, regularly threatening Europe with escalation and calling for a remade world order. When he endorses the abolition of the EU, he is not being rhetorical; he is restating a core Kremlin objective that has underpinned years of covert finance, disinformation and interference. The screenshot collapses those agendas into a single image: a leading Russian official cheerleading the destruction of the EU, and a tech mogul with his hand on the levers of global speech amplifying the same idea." https://pdjukes.substack.com/p/musk-medvedev-and-the-long-war-on #OrgEU #OrgClassifPPRUSUnitedRussiaDmitryMedvedev ^[tweet] #PhenomnBrexit

#EDUUKUniversityOfGlasgowRebeccaHarrison "Since its rise to power, the First Order has obsessively undermined the ideologies of the former New Republic, which calls to mind Trump repealing Obama-era legislation in areas such as health and welfare. In spreading fear among citizens and dismantling liberal institutions, its leaders also resemble ordinary businessmen and politicians. Where, in The Force Awakens, Kylo harboured fantasies of being the next Darth Vader, here Snoke sneers that he should 'take that ridiculous' mask off. Facing Luke Skywalker in a duel, Kylo also removes his cloak. Dressed in a grey suit, he is less Darth Vader and more Donald Trump Jr. The First Order's arch enemy, General Leia Organa, meanwhile stands in for Hillary Clinton - another woman with too little support for her political agenda, with the air of a lost cause, whose loyalists happen to be much more ethnically diverse than their opponents. This latter difference is thrown into sharp relief when the white Captain Phasma attempts to destroy Finn and Rose, two Resistance fighters of colour, calling them 'scum'. Not overt racism, but reminiscent of a US administration that has advocated racist policies." https://theconversation.com/the-last-jedi-latest-star-wars-is-a-fable-for-our-post-truth-times-89256 #FictionalCharacterStarWarsDarthVader #FictionalCharacterStarWarsSupremeLeaderSnoke ^[Wikipedia] #IRLBusinesspersonDonaldTrumpJr #FictionalCharacterStarWarsPrincessLeia #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyHillaryClinton #FictionalCharacterStarWarsCaptainPhasma ^[Wikipedia] #FictionalCharacterStarWarsFinn ^[Wikipedia] #FictionalCharacterStarWarsRoseTico ^[Wikipedia]

#WebsiteBylineTimes #IRLAuthorPeterJukes "Epstein was a regular visitor to the UK, even beyond his connections to Ghislaine Maxwell and Andrew Mountbatten, and he kept a keen eye on UK finances and politics. Across the recently released messages and emails, he treats Britain's vote to leave the European Union in June 2016 as both a political realignment and a trading opportunity - something to be shorted financially and leveraged geopolitically. As he writes to Peter Thiel about the chaos caused by the referendum, 'Brexit is just the beginning.' To that wider end, beyond his Silicon Valley and Russian manoeuvres, Epstein was devoting considerable time and intellectual capital to a major project led by the former head of the Trump Campaign, and White House chief of staff, Breitbart publisher and Cambridge Analytica co-founder, Steve Bannon, who had lost his job as White House Chief of Staff and was looking for a new role. He found it initially in a pan-European populist 'Movement', founded by Nigel Farage's partner Laure Ferrari and allies like People's Party leader Mischaël Modrikamen in 2017, and initially fronted by Bannon's close friend -- Nigel Farage himself. It was registered in Brussels with a mission to unite 'populist and conservative movements in Europe,' defending 'national sovereignty' and 'effective national borders'. Behind the scenes, Jeffrey Epstein emerged as Bannon's patron and strategist for the movement, providing financial advice on how to avoid financial scrutiny, offering transport and accommodation and introductions to key figures in Europe. Throughout the turbulent Brexit interregnum, as Theresa May's Government struggled to find a European exit which was acceptable to the Eurosceptic right, Bannon was flying into the UK, organising the opposition. In 2018, Bannon told Epstein he was meeting Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and Jacob Rees-Mogg, to corral them to topple Theresa May. The author Michael Wolff wrote to Epstein that he was an intermediary with leadership challenger Boris Johnson." https://bylinetimes.com/2026/02/03/in-putins-orbit-the-crypto-politics-of-jeffrey-epstein-and-peter-thiel/ #IRLBusinesspersonJeffreyEpstein #IRLSocialiteGhislaineMaxwell #IRLFamilyRoyalUKAndrewMountbattenWindsorAKAHRHPrinceAndrew #PhenomnBrexit #OrgEU #2016_ #IRLEntrepreneurPeterThiel #PhenomnBrexitReferendum #ToponymAmericaNorthUSCaliforniaNorthernSiliconValley #NMUSBreitbart #IRLPoliticalStrategistSteveBannon #OrgClassifPPUKTheBrexitPartyReformUKNigelFarage #OrgClassifPPFRDeboutLaFranceDLFLaureFerrari ^[Wikipedia] #OrgClassifPPBEPartiPopulairePPMischaelModrikamen ^{[Wikipedia] [Wikipedia]} #PhenomnPopulism #PoliticsSovereignty #OrgClassifPPUKConservativePartyTheresaMay #PoliticsEuroscepticism ^[Wikipedia] #OrgClassifPPUKConservativePartyBorisJohnson #OrgClassifPPUKConservativePartyJacobReesMogg #IRLJournalistMichaelWolff ^{[Muckrack] [Wikipedia]}

Addendum this shows a screen-shot from the following article, which selectively shows the beginning of the article without proving any explanation of how this might come to pass. This is a salient, subsequent point that perhaps provides a more accurate indication of the article's general tenor: #MagazineNewsweekJocelynGrzeszczak "Byrd acknowledged in his book that his Klan membership has 'emerged throughout my life to haunt and embarrass me and has taught me in a very graphic way what one major mistake can do to one's life, career, and reputation.' ... James Tolbert, president of the West Virginia Chapter of the NAACP in 2005, told the Post that Byrd overcame his past by slowly embracing more progressive social views and owning up to his mistakes. 'I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times...and I don't mind apologizing over and over again,' Byrd said in 2005. 'I can't erase what happened.'"https://www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-giving-eulogy-kkk-recruiter-robert-byrd-resurfaces-after-trump-doesnt-condemn-white-1535776 #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyPOTUSJoeBiden #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyRobertByrd #OrgUSNtlAssocForTheAdvancementOfColoredPeopleNAACPJamesTolbert

Supplementary #NewspaperUSBrdshtTheWashingtonPostCraigTimberg "Today's digital soapboxes are little like the old-fashioned kind. Researchers have documented the power of automation technology to magnify some points of view while drowning out others. Much of that research has focused on 'bots,' accounts programmed to follow instructions, such as automatically replying to tweets from other accounts. But Sobieski exemplifies the growing popularity of a variation, called 'cyborgs,' that mix human creativity and initiative with a computer's relentless speed, allowing their views to gain audience while sidestepping the traditional gatekeepers of news and commentary. Sobieski's two accounts, for example, tweet more than 1,000 times a day using 'schedulers' that work through stacks of his own pre-written posts in repetitive loops. With retweets and other forms of sharing, these posts reach the feeds of millions of other accounts, including those of such conservative luminaries as Fox News's Sean Hannity, GOP strategist Karl Rove and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), according to researcher Jonathan Albright. 'It's like a giant megaphone,' said Albright, an assistant professor of media analytics at Elon University, in North Carolina, whose research singled out Sobieski's accounts as having unusual reach. When Albright studied the most prolific Twitter accounts during the final two weeks of the election, he found that all of the top 20 appeared to support the eventual winner, Donald Trump. Among accounts using major pro-Trump hashtags such as 'MAGA,' for 'Make America Great Again,' two of the top three belonged to Sobieski." https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/as-a-conservative-twitter-user-sleeps-his-account-is-hard-at-work/2017/02/05/18d5a532-df31-11e6-918c-99ede3c8cafa_story.html #BrandTechSocialMediaXFKATwitterBotClickFarm #BrandTechSocialMediaXFKATwitterCyborg #NMUSFOXFNCSeanHannity #IRLPoliticalStrategistKarlRove #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPTedCruz #EDUUSColumbiaUniversityJonathanAlbright https://towcenter.columbia.edu/content/jonathan-albright

Context #WebsiteSnopes "Attesting to the growing influence of the KKK in American politics at the time, a platform plank favored by Smith supporters that would have condemned the Klan by name went down to defeat after a raucous debate that degenerated into fisticuffs. On the 103rd ballot, the delegates finally nominated a dark-horse candidate named John W. Davis, who, in contrast to his GOP counterpart, Calvin Coolidge, would take a strong stand against the KKK during the presidential campaign. Coolidge won the election by a landslide. Despite the fact that the Klan had sunk its tendrils just as deeply into Republican Party politics (an anti-KKK platform plank similar to the one rejected by Democrats met the same fate at that year's Republican convention), the extent of the group's supposed control over the 1924 Democratic convention has come to be exaggerated to legendary proportions. That is in large part thanks to the efforts of social media propagandists bent on tarring Democrats in particular with the legacy of the Klan's religious bigotry, xenophobia, and racism." ^{[fact-checked]} #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyJohnWDavis #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSCalvinCoolidge #MetaphorDeceitFakeReality

Supplementary #NewspaperUSBrdshtTheWashingtonPostJenniferMendelsohn and #NewspaperUSBrdshtTheWashingtonPostPeterShulman "While the Klan presence at the Democratic convention was significant, it was not enough to control the proceedings. Yet members of the Invisible Empire were not exactly invisible. On June 25, 1924, the second day of the convention, a reporter for the young tabloid New York Daily News published a breezy, joking announcement from the Democratic convention hall in Madison Square Garden declaring that the 'Klanbake steamed open at 12:45.' An exhaustive search of contemporary newspapers, digitized and microfilmed, including papers published by the Klan itself, found not a single instance of another publication, including the Daily News, ever using this term again during their coverage of the convention or its aftermath. In the decades that followed, neither the lone book nor scholarly articles about the convention referenced this supposedly well-known 'nickname,' nor do any of the most-respected histories of the Klan. Yet today, this moniker has emerged as widely known shorthand for the convention -- shorthand that conveys the mistaken message that Democrats were the party of the Klan in the 1920s." https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/made-by-history/wp/2018/03/15/how-social-media-spread-a-historical-lie/

Supplementary In this fallacy one argues, 'I feel it, so it must be true. My feelings are valid, so you have no right to criticize what I say or do, or how I say or do it.' This latter is also a fallacy of stasis, confusing a respectful and reasoned response or refutation with personal invalidation, disrespect, prejudice, bigotry, sexism, homophobia or hostility. ... 'Alternate Facts' work to 'put you off balance,' 'control the story,' and 'make you think you're crazy,' and she notes that 'presenting alternate facts is the hallmark of untrustworthy people.' The Alternative Truth fallacy is related to the Big Lie Technique.

"It has frequently been noticed that the surest long-term result of brainwashing is a peculiar kind of cynicism--an absolute refusal to believe in the truth of anything, no matter how well this truth may be established. In other words, the result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lies will now be accepted as truth, and the truth be de-famed as lies, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world and the category of truth vs. falsehood is among the mental means to this end is--being destroyed" (Hannah Arendt, 1967, p.82). ^[pdf]
