The Great Reawakening - A Renewed Dream Of America
@GenFlynn tells me the JOY of the MAGA Movement has returned. Our Xmas gift is A Renewed Dream For America. In case you didn't know, it's his birthday too, he's a Christmas baby!

2) He tells me that there's a new spirit of patriotism that has arisen. Of course, we are his #DigitalWarriors, and that's a gigantic thing, far more important than has been understood in general. It marks a new era of participation. #CitizenJournalists, he names us.
3) I for one am thrilled to share this Christmas morning with all of you, right here, in my office in my home. It was a surprising gift, this morning, when @speflash Steve named me as part of the New Media. I never had that thought before this morning. https://twitter.com/speflash/status/1342190719654649856?s=20
4) And look at the beautiful presentation Steve gives us in a flash. His image is of a strange new creature called Lincoln Trump. And his list of years:
1776
1861
2020
@speflash Steve, just that list of years is a gift to us this Christmas morning. Thank you.
1776
1861
2020
@speflash Steve, just that list of years is a gift to us this Christmas morning. Thank you.
5) I'm very earnest is proffering Steve's gift to every MAGA Movement member. Each of those years was a grave moment of historic challenge, truly unique moments, change points, turning points, transformational forces unleashed and WON by America.
6) What @GenFlynn emphasized was this incredible fact. We WON in a massive landslide. We WON the 2020 election with a stunning voice of clarity in support of @realDonaldTrump. And Victory MUST be celebrated. Gifts must be unwrapped.
7) As I pondered his counsel and his charge to me, I discovered an inner obstacle in my thinking. I was still falsely thinking - unconsciously - that elections are over when called by the Old Media, the night after the polling places close.
8) I cannot - CANNOT - too strongly emphasize the propaganda benefit of this programming. We've all seen the memes going round about Dewey's WRONGFULLY called victory. It's a prophetic story, indeed.
9) I quote extensively:
"Many of America’s major newspapers had predicted a Dewey victory early on in the campaign. A New York Times article editorialized that “if Truman is nominated, he will be forced to wage the loneliest campaign in recent history.”
"Many of America’s major newspapers had predicted a Dewey victory early on in the campaign. A New York Times article editorialized that “if Truman is nominated, he will be forced to wage the loneliest campaign in recent history.”
10) "Perhaps not surprisingly then, Truman chose not to use the press as a vehicle for getting his message across. Instead, in July 1948, he embarked on an ambitious 22,000-mile “whistle stop” railroad and automobile campaign tour.
11) "At every destination, Truman asked crowds to help him keep his job as president. His eventual success in the election of 1948 has been largely attributed to this direct interaction with the public and his appeal to the common voters as the political “underdog.”
12) "At the end of one of his campaign speeches, voices in the crowd could be heard yelling “Give ’em Hell, Harry!” It didn’t take long for the phrase to catch on and become Truman’s unofficial campaign slogan." https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/newspaper-mistakenly-declares-dewey-president
13) GIVE 'EM HELL, DONALD!!!
It wouldn't be difficult to flip out a few of the 1948 facts, flip in some 2020 facts, and the same story would be simply spot on.

14) I often complain about how my great friend @JonStancik not only forces me to read things I didn't plan to, but defeats me in heated debate. He's a very dangerous man. I'll beat you to the punch, Jon. Yes, I will reread: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q26B7GJ/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
15) But from my first reading I can say, I do NOT recall this particular story being emphasized, all the way back in our history. How is it that the Old Media gained this extraordinary, extra-Constitutional power? How did THEY become the arbiters of our electoral outcomes?
16) I should say, pseudo-arbiters, even FALSE arbiters? And how did we EVER come to think of a Presidential Election as a one-day affair? However, and whenever that occured - and perhaps it was a slow evolution - it was perhaps the GREATEST propaganda victory in history.
17) I'll take a stab at guessing. The main character in our story was likely Edward Bernays in creating the Science of Propaganda, and dating back to his work the Committee on Public Information established by President Wilson during WWI.

18) A simple reading of Berneys' story is chillingly informative, portending today's world. It's amazing to me how often we return to the Wilson Era to find the roots of today's world, and America's turn away from our Constitution.

19) Ha! So right back atcha, @JonStancik. Here's another book for YOUR reading list I bet you haven't taken in yet... https://www.amazon.com/Crystallizing-Public-Opinion-Edward-Bernays/dp/1515440079/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
20) Joyfully manhandling our time machine's clutch and gear shifts, we burn time rubber right back to now, now. In 2016, @realDonaldTrump termed the Old Media, "Fake News." That might also be called Berneys' Pill. Trump began the process of empowering our minds' freedom again.
21) But great teacher that he is, Trump could NEVER have given us the anti-propaganda lesson of 2020's stolen landslide election. Or, this Christmas morning, shall I call the the Attempted Stolen Election of 2020?
22) Let's do a momentary negative scenario in a different world's 2050 history. In chronicling the downfall of America that commenced under that world's President Biden, the chapter heading is:
How To Steal An Entire Nation, Purloin Its History, And Conscript Its Destiny.
How To Steal An Entire Nation, Purloin Its History, And Conscript Its Destiny.
23) But this glorious Christmas morning, @GenFlynn assures us that that is a different world than this in, in an alternate universe. Back here on our Earth in this moment, we MUST celebrate the gift of our landslide victory.
