In de VS
spreekt men n.a.v. de Trump administratie over ‘Trump Hypersensitive
Unexplained Disorder’ (THUD), een aandoening die wordt veroorzaakt door het
regeringsbeleid van Trump, uiteraard dik gerelateerd aan de leugen die
men ‘Russiagate’ noemt……. Mensen die aan deze aandoening lijden
hebben last van een groot aantal symptomen, zoals: overeten,
hoofdpijn, flauwvallen, chronische nekpijn, depressie en zelfs
suikerproblemen plus hartklachten…… (voor een volledige lijst, zie het hieronder opgenomen artikel van Caitlin Johnstone)
Aan voorgaande
aandoeningen lijdt men in de VS al decennia lang, niet zo vreemd
als je ziet hoe inhumaan men daar met het grote arme deel van de
bevolking omgaat, -hoe men omgaat met wapenbezit, -hoe men omgaat met
kleurlingen, -hoe men de ene na de andere illegale oorlog voert, -de
enorme prestatiedwang in de VS maatschappij en zaken als -de prijs
voor gezonde voeding (arme gezinnen zijn altijd goedkoper uit als ze
eten halen bij zaken als McDonald’s, i.p.v. gezonde voeding uit de winkel of van de markt)….
Buiten wapenbezit,
zijn deze zaken overigens ook van toepassing op veel andere westerse
bevolkingen, zelfs in Nederland lijden veel mensen aan de hiervoor benoemde gezondheidsklachten……
Johnstone
betoogt terecht dat de reguliere massamedia verantwoordelijk zijn
voor doden, niet alleen met hun onvoorwaardelijke steun aan het
oneindig illegaal oorlogvoeren door de VS, maar ook voor het bewaren (en bewaken) van de ijskoude, inhumane neoliberale status quo, door deze dag in dag uit als zaligmakend te prediken….. Daarmee propageren deze media de klassenmaatschappij die van nooit weggeweest weer massaal wordt omarmt in de VS (en andere westerse landen), ja zelfs door mensen die arm zijn, daar de media hen voorhouden dat ze volgend jaar wel eens schathemelrijk zouden kunnen zijn…. Ofwel het inleveren van de leugen dat het leven na de dood veel beter zou zijn dan het leven zelf, zoals o.a. door christenen gepropageerd, wordt meer en meer ingewisseld voor het gehersenspoelde ‘kansdenken’, waarvoor de reguliere massamedia en veel politici verantwoordelijk zijn…..
Vergeet niet
dat je in de VS aanwijsbaar langer kan leven als je geld hebt, buiten
de (gedwongen) voedselkeuze voor arme burgers, is ook de medische hulpverlening voor de
welgestelden tientallen procenten beter dan die voor de grote
onderlaag van arme mensen in de VS, van wie niet zelden mensen vroegtijdig overlijden aan bijvoorbeeld kanker, daar ze de therapieën niet kunnen betalen……. Buiten de 50 miljoen VS burgers
die afhankelijk zijn van voedselbonnen, zijn er vele miljoenen meer,
die zelfs met 2 banen niet rond kunnen komen (een zaak die hier ook
meer en meer voorkomt, we volgen de VS dan ook in het asociale
neoliberale VS beleid…….)
Mainstream
Media Is Now Killing People Directly
A new,
updated data set is
now available on a psychological phenomenon that has been
labeled “Trump Anxiety Disorder” or “Trump
Hypersensitive Unexplained Disorder,” and it says that the
phenomenon only got worse in 2018. The disorder is
described as a
specific type of anxiety in which symptoms “were specific to the
election of Trump and the resultant unpredictable sociopolitical
climate,” and according to the 2018 surveys Americans are
feeling significantly more stressed by the future of their country
and the current political environment than they were last year.
Pacific
Standard reports as
follows:
As
the possibility of a Hillary
Clinton victory
began to slip away—and the possibility of a Donald
Trump presidency
became more and more certain—the contours of the new age of
American anxiety began to take
shape.
In a 2017 column, Washington Postcolumnist Dana
Milbank described this
phenomenon as “Trump Hypertensive Unexplained Disorder”:
“Overeating.
Headaches. Fainting. Irregular heartbeat. Chronic neck pain.
Depression. Irritable bowel syndrome. Tightness in the chest.
Shortness of breath. Teeth grinding. Stomach ulcer. Indigestion.
Shingles. Eye twitching. Nausea. Irritability. High blood sugar.
Tinnitus. Reduced immunity. Racing pulse. Shaking limbs. Hair loss.
Acid reflux. Deteriorating vision. Stroke. Heart attack. It was a
veritable organ recital”.
Two
years later, the physiological effects of the Trump administration
aren’t going away. A growing body of research has tracked the
detrimental impacts of Trump-related stress on broad segments of the
American population, from young
adults to women,
to racial
and LGBT communities.
The
results aren’t good.

Research Suggests Trump’s Election Has Been Detrimental to Many Americans’ Mental Health
Particularly that of the country’s most marginalized groups.
I
do not for one second doubt that Americans are feeling more stressed
and suffering more health-degrading symptoms as a result than they
were prior to Trump’s election. But Pacific
Standard and
its “growing body of research” ignore the most obvious and
significant culprit behind this phenomenon which is tearing people’s
health to shreds: the mass media which has been deliberately fanning
the flames of Trump panic.
The
always excellent Moon
of Alabama blog
has just published
a sarcasm-laden piecedocumenting
the many, many aggressive maneuvers that this administration has made
against the interests of Russia, from pushing for more NATO funding
to undermining Russia’s natural gas interests to bombing Syria to
sanctioning Russian oligarchs to dangerous military posturing. And
yet the trending, most high-profile stories about Trump today all
involve painting him as a Putin puppet who is working to destroy
America by taking a weak stance against an alarming geopolitical
threat. This has had the effect of manufacturing demand for even more
dangerous escalations against a nuclear superpower who just so
happens to be a longtime target of US intelligence agencies.
If
the mass media were in the business of reporting facts, there would
be a lot less “Putin’s puppet” talk and a lot more “Hey,
maybe we should avoid senseless escalations which could end all life
on earth” talk among news media consumers. But there isn’t,
because the mass media is not in the business of reporting facts,
it’s in the business of selling narratives. Even if those narratives
are so shrill and stress-inducing that they imperil the health of
their audience.
Trump
is clearly not a Russian asset, he’s a facilitator of America’s
permanent unelected government just like his predecessors, and indeed
as far as actual policies and administration behavior goes he’s not
that much different from
Barrack Obama and George W Bush. Hell, for all his demagogic
anti-immigrant speech Trump hasn’t
even caught up to
Obama’s peak ICE deportation years. If the mass media were in the
business of reporting facts, people would be no more worried about
this administration than they were about the previous ones, because
when it comes to his administration’s actual behavior, he’s just as
reliable an upholder of the establishment-friendly status quo as his
predecessors.

Used
to be that the US mass media only killed people indirectly, by
facilitating establishment war agendas in repeating government agency
propaganda as objective fact and promulgating narratives that
manufacture support for a status quo which won’t even give Americans
health insurance or safe drinking water. Now they’re skipping the
middle man and killing them directly by psychologically brutalizing
them so aggressively that it ruins their health, all to ensure
that Democrats
support war and adore the US intelligence community.
They
do this for a reason, of course. The Yellow Vests protests in France
have continued unabated for their ninth
consecutive week,
a decentralized populist uprising resulting from ordinary French
citizens losing trust in their institutions and the official
narratives which uphold them. The social engineers responsible for
controlling the populace of the greatest military power on the planet
are watching France closely, and understand deeply what is at stake
should they fail to control the narrative and herd ordinary Americans
into supporting US government institutions. Right now they’ve got
Republicans cheering on the White House and Democrats cheering on the
US intelligence community, but that could all change should something
happen which causes them to lose control over the thoughts that
Americans think about their rulers.
Propaganda
is the single most overlooked and under-appreciated aspect of human
society. The ability of those in power to manipulate the ways
ordinary people think, act and vote has allowed for an inverted
totalitarianism which
turns the citizenry into their own prison wardens, allowing those
with real power to continue doing as they please unhindered by the
interests of the common man.
The
only thing that will lead to real change is the people losing trust
in corrupt institutions and rising
like lions against
them. That gets increasingly likely as those institutions lose
control of the narrative, and with trust in the mass media at an
all-time low, populist uprisings restoring power to the people in
France, and media corporations acting
increasingly weird and insecure,
that looks more and more likely by the day.
