Last week, Tracy and Dale McMullen sold their vacation home in Buckeye, Arizona, a property they owned for five years. The Alberta residents, who usually spend four to five months in Arizona a year, said they are not planning to come back.
“We decided to sell the property after the current POTUS took office,” said Dale, referring to U.S. President Donald Trump, who was inaugurated for the second time in January.
“It was time to leave. We felt we could not trust what he might do next to us as individuals and to our country. We no longer felt welcome nor safe.”
Is this you?

I got the title, and I liked the post. Your comments on the other hand were outlandish and way too open to interpretation.
Just say it directly, it’s the Internet.
If you didn’t lie about your health, I would like to apolgise for implying you lied.
Yes
You are fucking PUNCHING DOWN on me!!!
QUOTE, GIVE ME A PRECISE QUOTE what is so fucking “outlandish”? Tell me why my expressions are wrong and please quote EXACTLY what you are referencing. Don’t just point to 5,000 pages I’ve publish and say every word is outlandish.
WHAT, PLEASE BE SPECIFIC AND PRECISE. I have NO IDEA what your brain thinks and does not understand!
I thought I was pretty precise in my first reply to you, that you took for someone else’s.
You speak in riddles, giving way too much room for interpretation. You expect us do to research, instead of just saying what you want to say and then backing it up with a source. You make a disambiguos statement and post some seemingly random quotes and less random articles. But the work you put on us to understand you is immense, so people like me react defensive, especially on the Internet where the times of assuming good faith are long over.
I’m sorry for putting you down, I don’t do it often but I got ahead of myself. I felt attacked by your replies and went into defensive mode. You did as well and we escalated instead of really trying to understand each other. .
We’re very similar.
I thought I already responded to this, you want to go over it from the top? Personally I thought I made it clear that this seems like a tactic to use thought-terminating cliche phrases. “sounds like a conspiracy theory”
…
No, I do not, the WHOLE WORLD does not understand and communicate with each other. I created an entire Lemmy community on that topic, “Tower of Babel metaphor”. [email protected]
I’m not TRYING to conceal or make anything difficult, it already is difficult. Russia and Cambridge Analytica released 5,000 patterns of anti-reality, and nobody is on the same page!
In fact, I created ANOTHER Lemmy community on the problem: [email protected] about the fragmentation of people’s understanding and comprehension, how we need to sort out priorities in the aftermath of the loss to the Russian Hybrid Warfare / Hearts and Minds warfare - and get on the same page!
I have created an exhaustive web of topics for you to learn what I’m referencing, I’ve been publishing it since December 16, 2009! My ideas are not simplistic, trivial, minor, small, concerned with fitting into Twitter-thinking and meme-speaking, Fox News language and communication systems.
Just on Lemmy Alone:
[email protected] - Brain Damage caused by Mass Mind
[email protected] - People not understanding even the slightest most superficial differences in languages and communications.
[email protected] - How the United States of America and NATO have lost an information warfare of language and memes that started in late 2012, “Operation Matthew 4:19”
[email protected] Teaching about the Medium of Lemmy, HDTV, electric media systems, how people don’t understand or comprehend ideas - Marshall McLuhan, Neil Postman, etc.
[email protected] Specifically about media ecology and education topics of Neil Postman.
I could go on and on, that’s my point. You jump into the middle of my raw expressions in “Diary of Anne Frank” and you start throwing questions at me and expect me to know your background and understanding on massively complex problems of this Russian Hybrid Warfare and the compete self-destruction of the United States of America society!
See, that’s how I felt seeing your post, reading the comments, replying, and only then discovering your background.
I usually don’t stalk people before replying to them on an open forum.
That’s part of my whole point, people are so conditioned to view media systems in only the way they expect they can’t even grasp why someone title their post “Diary of Anne Frank”
People are so enslaved by the electric media systems, that’s our very crisis - now world wide - in April 2025.
How do we escape MASS PSYCHOSIS, all the postings over on [email protected]
My posting title also says “anti-goodness abounds”, I can not escape this, many people are unable to escape it. Many people don’t even understand we are in a technology-driven mass dehumanization event. They are so engaged in the total mockery amused by it that they can’t even imagine humor and absurd comedy surreal entertainment is the very basis of Russian hybrid warfare.
“Everything in our background has prepared us to know and resist a prison when the gates begin to close around us . . . But what if there are no cries of anguish to be heard? Who is prepared to take arms against a sea of amusements? To whom do we complain, and when, and in what tone of voice, when serious discourse dissolves into giggles? What is the antidote to a culture’s being drained by laughter?”― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985. [email protected]
“In the twenty-first century the techniques of the political technologists have become centralized and systematized, coordinated out of the office of the presidential administration, where Surkov would sit behind a desk on which were phones bearing the names of all the “independent” party leaders, calling and directing them at any moment, day or night. The brilliance of this new type of authoritarianism is that instead of simply oppressing opposition, as had been the case with twentieth-century strains, it climbs inside all ideologies and movements, exploiting and rendering them absurd. One moment Surkov would fund civic forums and human rights NGOs, the next he would quietly support nationalist movements that accuse the NGOs of being tools of the West. With a flourish he sponsored lavish arts festivals for the most provocative modern artists in Moscow, then supported Orthodox fundamentalists, dressed all in black and carrying crosses, who in turn attacked the modern art exhibitions. The Kremlin’s idea is to own all forms of political discourse, to not let any independent movements develop outside of its walls. Its Moscow can feel like an oligarchy in the morning and a democracy in the afternoon, a monarchy for dinner and a totalitarian state by bedtime.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia, 2014
I agree with everything you say and honestly, it’s fantastic work. You have studied and have sources of everything that i’ve pieced myself together over the years.
I think it was important for me to meet you, and I will use your studies to educate myself and my surroundings.
I contacted the Pentagon first in 2015. I reported it in 2015 under Biden/Obama! At the time, I did not know it was Russia attacking social media, but I knew it was hard core Joseph Campbell / Dr. Stephan A. Hoeller level Mythology, and I reported it! I was BOOTS on the Ground in North Africa Arab Spring, December 2010. I know my shit!
I contacted the White House once Biden got back into office, both Harris and Biden and DoD / NSA. I used to work for Telos Federal Systems as an Apprentice when I was 16. I also used to work in consulting for Microsoft / Bill Gates as a third-party (Software Spectrum in Garland Texas) in Bellevue Washington and was hired by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen for his private staff / personal systems (and lead on NBA / NFL teams, etc on messaging media). I’m a published author on IBM OS/2 operating system topics, professional technical editor, and published author on Microsoft Exchange Server social media systems (AKA, the one NATO had hacked and Hillary Clinton).
I told the White House several times that James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake needed to become military training material. Sarah Lawrence College Professor Joseph Campbell, University of Toronto Professor Marshall McLuhan both converge on the work of James Joyce’s 1924 onward publication of Finnegans Wake.
The Russian Hybrid Warfare of 5,000 artificial religions monomyth mind patterns / alternate reality screen games https://washingtonmonthly.com/2017/11/24/a-trumprussia-confession-in-plain-sight/ - have since year 2022 been fed into large language model / artificial intelligence training. It isn’t even under Russia’s control, and I consider them self-destructive egoism-furthering patterns, they do not teach compassion, forgiveness, and love like authentic religions.
Military / NSA / CIA / Pentagon high level people should all be doing everything they can to learn James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake. Like cram courses:
This Late-Night Reading Group Zipped Through Finnegans Wake in Seven Short Months https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/this-late-night-reading-group-zipped-through-finnegans-wake-in-seven-short-months-1933978/
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 as a major inspiration for this study of war throughout history as an indicator as to how war may be conducted in the future. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_and_Peace_in_the_Global_Village
As for the general population… 184 page book “Amusing Ourselves To Death” from 1985 by Neil Postman, we need to make that a front-page topic of every social media / hashtag top every day for at least 3 to 6 months until we all (anyone age 12 to 100) understand the book from 1985 perspective, then 1996 Fox News introduction, and then the 2007 Apple iPhone introduction. It is a well written easy to understand book, and there are good videos, such as this 6 minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETUGwC9jXCM
Overall, the hardest challenge is getting people to stop mocking, stop hating, and take serious learning and helping each other and healing education and understanding problems. This INCLUDES Bible literacy problems. Even for non-believers. More on that over on Lemmy community [email protected]
Bible verses “1 John 4:20” … “1 John 3:17” … “John 1:1” … Galatians 3:28 and … www.Romans1132.com is the short version.
And we all need to learn and understand the Skywalker Ranch / George Lucas lessons on [email protected] … www.GreatSealUSA.com
That’s the very short summary.
I far prefer people engage dead authors and dead teachers on these subjects and all get on the [email protected]
P.S. My own personal dream would be to use a rock opera to “get everyone on the same page”, everyone memorize a common set of videos and songs / collage art. But I don’t think it will appeal to people. But I’ve used it to keep my own sanity as long as I can, it’s helped a little. www.WakeIndra.com
When I started seeing the patterns, I was convinced that the arab spring was some sort of test run of whats to come, and I think I wasnt that far off.
I was gaslighted so much for calling out russian bot farms and astro turfing before the word made sense to most.
I started getting curios when all those depressive meme subreddits started popping up on reddit, shortly before 4chan had it’s exodus because “Moot is SJW now”, and Donald Trump announced his presidency. Only later I pieced together that it started way earlier and not only on the Internet, but in all regards, and the severity of it. Terror attacks, immigrant streams, discrediting of MSM and installing numerous dubios Media outlets that follow the 60:40 rule (60% truth, 40% lies and fear), parties with dubios money sources popping up all over the world and so much more.
It has been some insane years of seeing all this coming and getting gaslighted for it. I think I’m keeping myself sane at the moment by creating hopeful patterns in the chaos that keep my spirits up.
This is my fucking personal deathbed diary, and YOU are the one criticizing ME!
I already apologised, and if I would’ve known, I would’ve shown more tact.
Dont forget that you mistook me for someone else and I got your whole anger calling me fixiated and spamming replies, while I just tried to clarify things between you and them.
Forget? I don’t even know what you are referencing, I maybe don’t even understand at all to “forget”.
Where? Links? You expect me to keep up with 5 media platforms and dozens of people at the same time, and don’t provide any links or citations, etc. I’m doing my best here, but you act like people don’t get confused in media environments.
How am I supposed to know it isn’t “alt accounts” in the middle of people giving me insincere and trivializing responses? are you aware of hybrid warfare methods? My very posting title says “anti-goodness abounds”
I’m sorry if I got confused on people, but my pain and suffering is extremely authentic. If the World Wide Web wasn’t the very source of all the problems in the White House / population, I wouldn’t be here at all. I’m trying my very hardest and doing my very best, which is horrifically bad, I am a loser and a failure.
