the congregation for the evangelization of peoples

propaganda. n.-the systematic dissemination of doctrine, rumor, or selected information to propagate or promote a particular doctrine, view, practice, etc.; ideas, information, etc., disseminated thus. oxford english dictionary____________ two things come to mind here…first, that any segment of the christian religion should feel the need to proselytize isn’t much of a surprise…what I find ironic is that the “congregation” above began a its life as the sacred congregation of the propaganda…founded in 1622 by gregory xv which lent its name to the definition, “an organization or concerted movement for the propagation of a particular doctrine, practice, etc.” (oed)..so the term and concept behind propaganda comes from the church…well...always the dogmatists disseminating church dogma ( see loyola on the “church hierarchy” and whether it is black or white you are seeing )…not a stunner is it…secondly, what information available from “the news media” isn’t filtered? that’s what editors and news producers are for…it is a product…designed to align and reinforce the “particular doctrine” of those who consume it…as far as I can see both the “news media” and what passes for government/politics falls well within the limits of the above definition…”fake news” “alternate facts” and a house of representative bursting at the seams with conspiracy theorists and crypto fascists calling themselves by the thoroughly orwellian name “the freedom caucus”…one is warranted in thinking “freedom” for whom and to what purpose? clearly not my concerns or interests or those of the polity at large…if anything these bozos are not only inimical to my interests, they are overtly hostile to them whatever political party they affiliate themselves with…the stench emanating from swamptown is pure ideological putrescence festering in the summer sun and the election is still over a year away…my thoughts would be that you should be preparing yourself for more “evangelization” presenting the doctrine of elite interests as “national interests” which need to be pursued at all costs ( and we are well aware of who will be earing the brunt of those costs ) because we can’t have madison’s “interested and overbearing majority” subverting the goals of the elite with any programs of social or economic equity…the fat’s in the fire and the outlook is decidedly biased…”for subsequent laws, other than those directed at specific offences, were forcible creations of class-warfare, designed to grant unconstitutional powers, or banish leading citizens, or fulfill some other deplorable purpose…thenceforward measures were concerned with personal instead of national issues, corruption reached its climax and legislation abounded.” tacitus. The annals of imperial rome....and my perception is that the corruption wil simply increase exponentially after november 2024 until the whole ponzi scheme collapses from unforeseen cascade failure.
