Hopefully by Saturday July 4, 2026 we make some progress in getting Fox News HDTV people to focus on this Pluribus show, the Latin word from the founding fathers.
Party week! Some Nancy Sinatra, California Girl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqcwKnjMffw
It’s like going on a safari into people’s mental illnesses (complimentary).
A very common misconception. The mental illness is on Truth Social and Fox News HDTV. The audience of Rupert Murdoch has mass psychosis mental illness. We have educational science to educate and diagnose people with mass psychosis, but people instead profit off treating one Fox News HDTV viewer at a time for $180/hour instead of diagnosing the entire cable network system.

Graduate study message from Helen to Carol about publishing her “Bitter Chrysalis” book… as Carol boozes away the end of the day / end of the book tour.This is at the ZERO HOUR. “00:00:00:00” of all the on-screen countdowns. Minute 22 of Pilot Episode.
There is microphone tapping in the audio track to alert the audience to silence and listen closely.Finnegans Wake is not just any ordinary Latin language book.

"War and Peace in the Global Village is a 1968 book by Marshall McLuhan and Quentin Fiore. It contains a collage of images and text that illustrates the effects of electronic media and new technology on man. Marshall McLuhan used James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake book as a major inspiration for this study of war throughout history as an indicator as to how war may be conducted in the future. "
- “Joyce’s Wake is claimed to be a gigantic cryptogram which reveals a cyclic pattern for the whole history of man” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_and_Peace_in_the_Global_Village
“a cyclic pattern” of a 78-second outer space repeating message.
just offering my Occam’s Razor thought.
Carl Sagan’s Contact book / film is also about signals from outer space stars received at the same New Mexico array as Pluribus story. Occam’s Razor is a core theme in plot and dialog of Contact. But there have been key declarations by Vince Gilligan in public interviews that make it pretty clear… we are dealing with intentional audience messaging.
Totally believable there is a purpose within the show
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIa77tZaHJA
- It is in the humble opinion of this narrator that this is not just “something that happened.” This cannot be “one of those things”… This, please, cannot be that. And for what I would like to say, I can’t. This was not just a matter of chance.
Happy New Year 2026!
I’m not familiar with the show
The show is about star systems messaging each other. 4 stars missing from the POTUS Seal has very significant meaning to alien contact from other stars. Kepler-22 star system takes over our star system.
This is the ONLY place in the entire first season (9 episodes) of the show where the title of the show “Pluribus” appears in print / symbol / dialog.
Code breaking by the character Manousos Oviedo and the New Mexico NRAO VLA science team is core to the show story / message to audience.
This episode was the first released when the show went public. No message since Friday November 7, 2025 release of the episode has been made by the cast or crew that this is an error or unintentional change. There is also a loud and clear signal that “Piracy” is part of the show story. Ship piracy, air piracy, spaceship piracy, etc. “Pirate Lady” is the name of the episode with the doctored POTUS Seal. And the American woman defending the USA (Carol) is paranoid and demands that all recording devices be disabled on Air Force One and she blinds the windows.
Carol’s last name
Carol’s last name has been disclosed by Vince Gilligan as coming from a specific Twilight Zone episode. Interview here: https://youtu.be/kFrffEktluo?t=2894

-
Will Sturka makes atomic bombs
-
Carol gets an atomic bomb
-
Carol has genetics that are different from 8 billion people on Earth.
-
Roswell, New Mexico is world famous for alien encounter legends. The atomic bomb is made in New Mexico. The VLA array that gets the 78 second message is in New Mexico. And, of course, Carol and Helen are in New Mexico

They didn’t have NASA.
I try to tell people: If USA Christians want to go find Heaven and meet their dead grandparents, go ahead and make a NASA rocket and get busy sending cameras to photograph their outer-space dead friends and family.
extremist Christian Nationalism was the colonizing force not a resistance force born out of the context of colonizing forces.
Extreme fiction addicts.
-
Fox News is fiction
-
Bible is science fiction, magical angels are the “colonizing forces” from outer-space
-
Donald Trump is a great source of fiction storytelling.
I suggest you also peer over to Russia and study if the Kremlin produces fiction or nonfiction. I can recommend this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_Is_True_and_Everything_Is_Possible “Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia is a 2014 book by Peter Pomerantsev. It focuses on the political developments in Russia in the early 21st century and the culture of Russian media.”
Reminder: Putin was recently invited to Alaska to meet with Trump to discuss fiction storytelling strategies for leading nations.

dupe
the Christian fundamentalists in this country are a borderline cult
-
Taliban is a cult of fiction, a science fiction story called The Quran originated in year 635
-
Christians are a cult of fiction, Bible story originated in the Levant, 2000 years ago
-
Fox News is a cult of fiction…
-
Truth Social is fiction…
-
Twitter, Elon Musk owned, is fiction…
Cults of fiction have been running the world, all over the world, for a very long time. The Founding Fathers of the USA did not base the nation on fiction storytelling of magical angels who bless Kings.
“The boys learn the Quran by heart, rocking back and forth as they recite. They learn that there is no such thing as science or literature, that dinosaurs never existed and man never went to the moon.” ― Malala Yousafzai, I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban. Published October 8, 2013.

What foreign invader are Christian Nationalists fighting against though?
Hi, this is my posting. In my posting here on Lemmy, included a link to Malala’s speech and quoted part of it. did you read the entire thing?
-
Do you not realize how far away Swat Valley Pakistan is from Mecca / Quran origins that the Taliban follows?
-
Do you consider the Taliban an invasive behavior to use the Quran on people in Pakistan?
-
How far do you think California USA is from the origins of The Bible?
-
Do you consider Christians an invasive behavior to use the Bible on people in North America?
-
Fixed book of year 635. The Quran was originated in the year 635… using it literally in Pakistan in the year 2009 is why Malala started blogging on the WWW. It is a very out of date book to rule a society with.
-
Fixed book that is 1,950 years ago. The Bible was originated some 2000 years ago… using it literally in North America in the year 2025 is a really out of date way to run the society.
-
Do you think “Jesus” or “The Bible” is named in the USA Constitution or Deceleration of Independence?
-
Did you know that Thomas Jefferson did not like the British King James Bible and took a knife and cut/paste his own Bible and published it in year 1820? A USA Founding Father version of The Bible? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Bible
Shall I continue?
What foreign invader are Christian Nationalists fighting against though?
They are fighting domestic peoples, native Americans, Mexicans and Navajo and other people who were here before The Bible ever was.
Most of all, Christians in North America are fighting against nonfiction. Science.

decide to give up power because people are angry.
People think being angry isn’t intentional. Repeating what I said: “social media society should cut out all entertainment consumption”
You are all being played. You are dealing with fiction, war against reality itself that started in late 2012, early 2013. This isn’t 1930’s Germany. Everything is media ecology.
You are so eager to oil and clean and stroke your guns that you aren’t using social media to deal with a war that started on social media in March 2013. You already know that Fox News viewers live in alternate reality, that Elon Musk Twitter consumers live in alternate reality, guns are not going to fix that. Have you learned nothing since the February 2014 invasion of Ukraine? The whole world needs to put down the absurd surreal Donald Trump amusement memes and sober up and assert fact, truth, reality and cult deprogram every member of MAGA. Terrorism comes from people who believe Heaven is a real place after death, MAGA believes in Heaven, you have to cult deprogram this or you get suicide bombers who think they are serving Jesus Trump. You have to stand up for science and real world. Guns do not fix Fox News, if you go blow up the office of Fox News, you will only make their fiction more popular. Fiction itself has to be addressed directly.
You aren’t learning about alternate reality and the history of alternate reality warfare. You think a real gun loaded with gunpowder and bullets is going to work in “The Matrix” of fiction anti-reality social media of Donald Trump White House. By not learning and studying information warfare, you have let this go on for over a decade, stroking your gun.
decide to give up power because people are angry.
We The People already gave up power, intellectual power / mental power - it already happened since March 2013 by not taking information war seriously. Repeating… People think being angry isn’t intentional. Repeating what I said: “social media society should cut out all entertainment consumption”
2019:
"What Cambridge Analytica observed was that when respondents were angry, their need for complete and rational explanations was also significantly reduced. In particular, anger put people in a frame of mind in which they were more indiscriminately punitive, particularly to out-groups. They would also underestimate the risk of negative outcomes. This led Cambridge Analytica to discover that even if a hypothetical trade war with China or Mexico meant the loss of American jobs and profits, people primed with anger would tolerate that domestic economic damage if it meant they could use a trade war to punish immigrant groups and urban liberals.” ― Christopher Wylie, Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica and the Plot to Break America, year 2019“The display, which was called ‘Can Democracy Survive the Internet?’ was dedicated to a ‘global election management’ company called Cambridge Analytica. Cambridge Analytica claimed to have gathered 5,000 data points on every American voter online: what you liked and what you shared on social media; how and where you shopped; who your friends were… They claimed to be able to take this imprint of your online self, use it to understand your deepest drives and desires, and then draw on that analysis to change your voting behaviour. The boast seemed to be backed up by success: Cambridge Analytica had worked on the victorious American presidential campaign of Donald Trump; it had also run successful campaigns for US Senator Ted Cruz (twice); and others all across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, This Is Not Propaganda: Adventures in the War Against Reality, 2019

This is not just a story about social psychology and data analytics. It has to be understood in terms of a military contractor using military strategies on a civilian population. Us. David Miller, a professor of sociology at Bath University and an authority in psyops and propaganda, says it is “an extraordinary scandal that this should be anywhere near a democracy. It should be clear to voters where information is coming from, and if it’s not transparent or open where it’s coming from, it raises the question of whether we are actually living in a democracy or not.”
Paul and David, another ex-Cambridge Analytica employee, were working at the firm when it introduced mass data-harvesting to its psychological warfare techniques. “It brought psychology, propaganda and technology together in this powerful new way,” David tells me.

В чем заключалась наша идея с Дональдом Трампом?
За четыре года и два дня… необходимо было пробраться ко всем в мозг и захватить все возможные средства массового восприятия действительности. Обеспечить победу Дональда на выборах президента США. После чего создать политический союз между Соединенными Штатами, Францией, Россией (и ещё рядом других государств) и установить новый мировой порядок.
Четыре года и два дня - это с одной стороны очень большой срок, а с другой очень маленький. Наша идея была безумна, но реализуема.
Для того, чтобы в этом во всем разобраться для начала нужно было “оцифровать” все возможные виды современного человека.
Дональд решил пригласить для этой задачи - специальный научный отдел “Кембриджского университета”. Британские учёные из Cambridge Analytica предложили сделать из 5 тысяч существующих человеческих психотипов - “идеальный образ” возможного сторонника Трампа. Затем… положить этот образ обратно на всё психотипы и таким образом подобрать универсальный ключик к любому и каждому.
Разработка в итоге обошлась Дональду Фредовичу в 5 миллионов долларов. Но! Он получил в свои руки - секретное супер-оружие.
Кто занимался таргетированной рекламой… поймёт, что это значит.
Помните, сколько всего денег потратили фонды Клинтон и “их сторонники” на кампанию по всему миру? В 5 раз больше, чем Трамп.
Зато, кто вложил в сетевое продвижение в 5 раз больше Хиллари и стал президентом? Тоже Дональд Трамп.
Дальше оставалось только загрузить эти данные в информационные потоки и социальные сети. И мы стали искать тех, кто справился бы с этой задачей лучше других.
В самом начале смельчаков и романтиков было не очень много. Пара хакерских группировок, гражданские журналисты из Викиликс и политический стратег Михаил Ковалев.
Следующим шагом необходимо было разработать систему передачи задач и информации, чтобы никакая гэбуха и АНБ не смогли её спалить.
Как сделать так, чтобы даже люди не говорящие на языке друг друга, могли бы обмениваться информацией быстрее всех, понимать друг друга с полуслова, чувствовать тренды и влиять на их развитие?
На программирование такой системы ушёл примерно год. Ещё год ушёл на тесты и доработку. В итоге. За год с небольшим, мы установили “Медиафильтр” всем, кого успели подтянуть в наш заговор и 18 августа 2015 года открыли портал Трамп-2016.
Even as Marine Corps recruiters promote enlistment as protection for families lacking legal status, directives for strict immigrant enforcement have cast away practices of deference previously afforded to military families, immigration law experts say. The federal agency tasked with helping military family members gain legal status now refers them for deportation, government memos show.
This has all reached a point where social media society should cut out all entertainment consumption and have a protest hashtag / trending topic on every media platform every 12 hours. “MAGA is a mistake, please resign Donald Trump and JD Vance”.
It’s somewhat difficult to compare American conservatives to the Taliban because those are such vastly different cultures. But the equivalent left wing-right wing comparison wouldn’t be about “whiteness,” it would be about attitudes towards the ethnic in-group vs the ethnic out-group. For the Taliban, the ethnic in-group are Pashtuns, but Afghanistan is a state bounded by former colonial borders that has always included major territories inhabited by other ethnic groups, making Pashtuns a plurality rather than the majority in the country. But the Taliban are clearly right-wing because they are religious fundamentalists obsessed with trying to recreate a (possibly semi-fictional) 8th-century Islamic society from when they considered Islam to have been the most pure.
Obsession with the past is in general a right-wing trait."
Response:
On the topic of defining conservatives: “it would be about attitudes towards the ethnic in-group vs the ethnic out-group.”
Earlier in the message, the topic of Malala Yousafzai was established, yet the reddit reply emphasizes ethnic. As is clearly documented for nearly a dozen years in the book published October 8, 2013 titled “I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and was Shot by the Taliban” - ethnic is not core of how conservatives operate.
the equivalent left wing-right wing comparison wouldn’t be about “whiteness,” it would be about attitudes towards the ethnic in-group vs the ethnic out-group. For the Taliban, the ethnic in-group are Pashtuns,
Malala is a girl, a woman, a female. “ethnic” isn’t the out-group of the conservative Taliban. Their exact same ethnic human people, but a different gender of sex. Male vs. female, men vs. women. Conservative behaviors are not defined by “ethnic” and “racial”, they are defined by the avoidance of nonfiction, science, comprehension understanding. Anti-progress, anti-progressive. In Malala’s situation, her father was a school teacher who introduced ideas from outside the fiction story of the single book the Quran imported from Saudi Arabia to Pakistani (across the world) originate in the year 635 to year January 2009 when Malala was first forced to stop attending schools where multiple books from the world’s public library were being taught and educated to young girls by her father.
Again, not ethnic, gender. But that’s another characteristic of “conservatives”, the desire to burn / ban / limit books and ideas of science, nonfiction.
In the United States of America, conservatives can be entirely against white “hippies” in Berkeley California who created Unix computer software with the BSD free software license. “First released in 1978, it began as an improved derivative of AT&T’s original Unix developed at Bell Labs, based on the source code.” This has nothing to do with ethnic or skin color, conservatives in USA treat white men who are idealists (“hippies”) as an out-group, even though the are the same race / ethnic - BSD free software is nonfiction, and USA conservatives do not want science and progress of comprehension and understanding, they want people in USA to follow the imported Levant Bible stories in a very poor dehumanizing interpretation.
Addiction to fiction content and fiction storytelling is core conservative value. As I said in the earlier message, in USA: Rupert Murdoch media network Fox News is fiction storytelling, like Saturday Night Live “Weekend Update” news, dramatized - it is not reason thinking factual news telling, Fox News is entertainment sports simulacra fiction.
You will find it incredibly unpopular and egoism confronting to view this in terms of media ecology and not make it about ethnic / skin color (blacks vs. whites).
As Joseph Campbell described it, everybody, 100.0% are wrong, it is not popular at all to face up to the reality of the fiction attraction problems.
Half + half = total, all, everyone
- “Half the people in the world think that the metaphors of their religious traditions, for example, are facts. And the other half contends that they are not facts at all. As a result we have people who consider themselves believers because they accept metaphors as facts, and we have others who classify themselves as atheists because they think religious metaphors are lies.” ― Joseph Campbell, Thou Art That: Transforming Religious Metaphor
Expand the context beyond “religion”, (as the quote is saying, religion is not nonfiction, religion is not facts, it is science fiction)… Fox News is fiction media, fiction storytelling vs. factual news. Joseph Campbell’s quote could be applied to:
-
Fox News and Newsmax and Saturday Night Live “Weekend Update” – all fiction news.
-
People who use Reddit / Lemmy to get news to mock and react to Fox News and Newsmax audience. Calling them stupid idiots. That is the atheists in Joseph Campbell’s equation of people who do not grasp metaphors.
-
Zero people, the third group, who fully understand media ecology behaviors and how atheists are reacting to Bible / Quran / Torah fiction fanatics and not seeing the blend of fiction and nonfiction.
Expanding on number 3 on the list.
Take for example “The original Terminator film, released in 1984, is a science fiction action movie directed by James Cameron and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger” - there are a blend of fiction and nonfiction elements. The non-fiction setting: “The first Terminator movie, released in 1984, was primarily filmed in Los Angeles, California. Specific locations include the Griffith Observatory, Tech Noir (720 S Hill Street), and various streets and buildings in downtown Los Angeles. Some scenes were also shot in South Pasadena, Huntington Park, and Littlerock, California.” - much of the setting depicted is nonfiction, but the fiction element is the terminator robot technology, artificial intelligence, the time travel technology.
Take another science fiction story, Star Wars 1977, the location / setting is entirely fiction. There is almost no non-fiction content of any kind in that Star Wars 1977 film / story. The planets depicted, the food, everything is fiction.
“Conservatives” are unable (uneducated) to distinguish fiction of the Bible, Quran, Torah story books in Pakistan or USA - they often revel in entirely fiction contents such as the character Allah / “God” in the story, without any proof or evidence, they are attracted to the fiction in a compulsive behavior. Unlike in USA with fiction story of the “Easter Bunny”, they do not grasp that Allah / “God” is a metaphor (again, the Joseph Campbell equation above).
This is a literacy problem on a global level across long time periods, it goes beyond any geography or ethnic or race or skin color.
“Conservatives” can behave this way towards any media. Not just Levant Bible from 2000 years ago or Levant Quran from 1,360 years ago. Rupert Murdoch media empire is in multiple places and multiple media venues, not just USA Fox News network. But the core thing of conservatives is favoring fiction, that Donald Trump is a magical perfect person, not a flawed human being. Conservatives treat Fox News and Truth Social media content as nonfiction, like treating the Easter Bunny as if it is not a metaphor.
Humanity has in no way owned up to what Joseph Campbell is saying about the history of comparative mythology. We, world wide, are living in denial of this crisis and acting as if it is OK, whistling past the graveyard of all the deaths between religions and within religions and things like the Jewish Holocaust by Germany in 1940’s. Where Bible religion tradition people exterminated and killed Torah religion tradition. Book vs. Book, both imported from the Levant (Torah and Bible origins), both science fiction stories, fiction vs fiction killings.
The Crusades of Europe vs. Levant. The Taliban in Swat Valley Pakistan that Malala is highlighting.
Conservative is not about ethnic race superiority. Conservative is about egoism of the in-group vs. out-group. Fox News is fiction storytelling, Church is fiction storytelling, Mosque is fiction storytelling. Analyze conservative in terms of Star Wars 1977 cinema science fiction fans fighting with Battlestar Galactica 1978 television science fiction fans.
The Bible is a retcon science fiction of the Torah. The Quran is a retcon science fiction story of The Bible. Jesus, Mary, Adam, Eve - are all in the Quran / Mosque that Malala Yousafzai had in Swat Valley Pakistan with the Taliban. But the Taliban will not admit that the Quran is fiction storytelling any more than Fox News audiences and Truth Social audiences will admit that they are consumers of fiction storytelling.
Egomania abounds, people with their “one true fiction story”, story supremacy - not racial supremacy, not ethnic supremacy, not just gender supremacy, but fiction story supremacy. Be it Fox News (venue) fiction story MAGA supremacy in USA … … … or … … … Quran Mosque (venue) / Radio Mullah (venue F.M. radio) fiction story supremacy in conservative Taliban Swat Valley Pakistan.
P.S. Please excuse my writings, these topics are extremely difficult to put down in words (Joseph Campbell wrote more than 40 books, I recommend him over my Reddit / Lemmy comments). And I do not have endless time to spend composing this message, nor do I have a professional editor like Joseph Campbell does in his writing.
Great to see you on BE: 0.18.3 Lemmy progress
I have personally been a social media user since Christmas 1982. And this is the worst year I have ever seen. Musk Twitter leads a nation of terrible values in year 2025. Thank You to Vince Gilligan for making book-reading and authorinng the core theme of a prestige television show!
