With the latest scandal centered on the upcoming Los Angeles venue, this is more than just another distraction… it’s more of the same patterns mirrored across the world, over many years.

It’s as if exclusive, global broadcast rights have become more important than the awards; the awards more important than the arts and athletics; and subscriptions more important than democracy or humanity itself!
The masquerade goes on…

Repeated exposure makes falsehoods feel legitimate, and sharing them becomes a way to signal tribal loyalty rather than a character flaw, allowing people to see themselves as truth-defenders even while knowingly spreading lies.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The psychological cost of admitting truth — which would betray their group or self-image — exceeds the perceived moral cost of lying.

It’s the epitome of being trapped in an endless cycle of illusion and delusion. It’s pathological.

They work backward from a desired narrative, selectively creating “facts” to support what’s actually a illusion, delusion, outright lie, pathology, etc. They do all if this while rationalizing it as justified dishonesty in service of a higher cause.

All in all, then, this is not just a threat to #Greenland, or #Norway… but also #NATO, #Europe, the #NobelCommittee & its integrity or purpose, U.S. integrity, world freedom & democracy, and quite possibly the world order & peace itself! This has all the signs of a descent into a living Hell!

The dark irony is that the #Trump statement proves he shouldn’t receive a Peace Prize. Someone who pursues peace only when rewarded for it, and threatens #aggression when not sufficiently honored, isn’t actually committed to #peace as a principle. It’s logically incoherent & absurd. #Greenland

#MoralBlackmail and #EmotionalExtortion applies to the #Trump policy on #Greenland — holding peace itself hostage to hpersonal grievances or desires for recognition. The realization that Trump is that vain and self-important is simply beyond wicked and evil. It’s beyond #egocentric or egomaniacal!

#Manipulation works too — pretentiously using the absence of an award as justification for policy changes is a manipulative framing. #Trump is trying to reframe, twist, and distort the entire story at hand. It is peace, justice and the righteous autonomy of #Greenland.

#Hypocrisy is absolutely relevant concerning #Trump — someone threatening #military #aggression because they didn’t win a #Peace Prize is deeply contradictory.

#Greenland #Norway #War

#QuidProQuo threat also fits — the implicit message by #Trump is “give me awards/recognition, or I’ll pursue aggressive policies.” #Greenland #Norway #Peace #War #Agression

#Extortion & #coercion are precise. #Trump is essentially says “because you didn’t give me what I want (the #Peace Prize), I no longer feel bound to pursue peace” — implying that peaceful behavior was conditional on receiving recognition, and that aggression is now justified by being denied it.

Gone is the old pop-up or slot #toaster, because this does four slices of bread at once, and certainly more. It’s also better than the old toaster oven, which I once years ago.

Trump’s latest proposal on a $2000 tariff dividend, 50 year mortgage, a pardon for Netanyahu, etc. are incredibly idiotic, out of touch, and outrageous. I can’t shout and scream loud enough about all the damage he’s doing. He might as well just drop the bomb on America itself. Self-implosion.
