The fascist Trump Regime went prime time this week to manipulate the media and spread fascist propaganda while bringing in an unlikely ringer: Judge Jeanine. The Pork Reich can lie to us, threaten us, and try to gaslight the entire world, but they can't stop The Skinny.

The Skinny: Media Manipulation & Regime Propaganda

"One of the hallmarks of the second Trump era is the way the Pork Reich consistently finds a way to make bad things, infinitely worse. For example, I don’t think anyone reading this would be surprised to hear me describe Fox News as an objectively fascist media organization, that is closely aligned with and prepared to lie to promote, Republican political objectives and GOP politicians. “Fox News lies for Republicans” was a pretty heady message in 1999, but it’s essentially a “well, duh” moment here in 2025. When you combine the power of the Fox Media apparatus with a Trump regime that approaches governance like a type of reality television show and actively sees control of media messaging as foundation to the success of their fascist project however, this unholy union creates something that roughly approximates “state news” in a dictatorship."

#Guest #post by #Peter #Addor: “Is there anything beyond #space and #time?”

During his “travels through distant lands and #scientific #thoughts” he apparently came across the “terra incognita” of my #blog and here in particular the “sources of the origin of #logic”, which I tried to explore in my essay “Die #Metamathematik - ist doch #metalogisch?!?” (philosophies.de/index.php/2023), which I tried to explore.

"Kennst du Menschen, die immer Hilfe anbieten? Die sagen: „Ich bin da. Melde dich einfach, egal wann.“ Und die das nicht nur sagen, sondern die wirklich da sind. Loyal, stabil, sie tun, was getan werden muss. Oder was sie können. Und zwar aus vollster Überzeugung, weil es ihnen ein Bedürfnis ist. Es gibt nur ein Problem mit diesen Menschen: Sie sind oft die, die selbst nur schwer Hilfe annehmen können. Vergessene Menschen."

Funny thing about this post: I wanted to write about two old projects I want to ressurect again, and as I was writing it, a third project poked at me too!

So, in the coming month(s) I'm going to edit and publish a couple of old projects from many years ago. Here's a bit about those projects and why I want to tackle them.
