Excellent advice, Caitlin. Look at what's going on materially and ignore the words. Talk is cheap.
Another thing I look at with political candidates instead of their words is their history and their funders. Those two things tell us a lot about how they'll behave if they're elected.
Through their cognitive dissonance, they don't even realize they're mythologizing and spiritualizing psychopathy in what I consider their military strategy guide aka the Buy-Bull, as you stated. Most think Moses was some kind of hero, whereas he really was a child trafficking murderous psychopath, shown in Num. 31 as only one example. And one must also wonder WHY they were to not eat leavened bread for 7 days, after the Passover. Was the leavened bread poisoned with a parasitical yeast that causes bread to rise, from the Egyptian Scarab dung-rolling beetle, which today is called Ciclosporin? This drug is used to shut down the immune system for organ transplants.
Also, Col. Vyse found a black powder in a hidden chamber of the pyramids that was tested and found to be insect parts, and not bat dung as first expected. The scarab is black.
Interesting about the translation. The thing is I think the OT was written specifically for "them," - the Tribes. So, if someone poisons "their" wells they should be put to death. It seems perfectly fine for them to do it to the outsiders, with no repercussions.

Honest communicators just don't expect dishonest and acquisitive uses of language. Kindly giving the other the benefit of the doubt, we end up frustrated and confused. It is empowering to learn to recognize this behaviour so we can cut through the crap at the start.
Perhaps you could stretch out and explain the difference between Propaganda as explained by American U. Professor of Communication Christopher Simpson, most accessibly in his well-sourced and document noted yet slim explanatory book: "The Science of Coercion: Communication Research and Psychological Warfare (1994) demonstrated the roots of modern communication science in government-funded psychological warfare research.

"FTR #78 Christopher Simpson on 'The Science of Coercion' (1994)
Our Hidden History
"In 1994, Christopher Simpson published a formidable little book entitled Science of Coercion: Communication Research and Psychological Warfare 1945-1960 (Oxford University Press.) This work sets forth the profound and vitally important relationship between the U.S. national security establishment’s psychological warfare machinery and the structure and development of mass communication research as an academic discipline in this country..."
"...The two are so inextricably linked that, as Simpson points out, it is altogether possible that mass communication research as an academic discipline might not have crystallized in the 1950s had it not been for military and intelligence input.
"This two part interview highlights some of the central points of the book including: the pivotal influence of America’s World War II psychological warfare institutions on
"(t)he development of both the media and communication research;
"(t)he effect of several National Security Directives (NSC 4, NSC 4-A and NSC 10/2) on U.S. national security policy and psychological warfare development; the importance of military and intelligence community funding of leading communication research centers;
"(t)he significance of Public Opinion Quarterly as an exemplar of the marriage of communication research and psychological warfare; the role of communication research in U.S. covert actions;"
"(t)he evolution of “development theory” (a social science concept that is known as “low-intensity warfare” when applied to national security matters) and the progression of, as Simpson puts it, “one generation’s psychological warfare” into “the international communication of the next.”
What's very disturbing is the creeping tipping point in Western countries at this end stage of rampant materialism, out of control divisive capitalism and militarization, increasingly devoid of the Sacred, of caring for the kingdoms of nature that sustain our Mother Earth and the feminine relational, loving, communicative values you describe. The concern is that abnormal begins to be treated and taught as normal. We have so much to learn from our indigenous brothers and sisters in the South. They have so much they are trying to teach humanity, even in their suffering.
"They don’t begin with the goal of communication, they begin with the goal of obtaining."
This is a very good definition of a manipulator. And the best way to get back at one is by simply stop listening to them. Then their words have no hold over you and you're free to see the world as it is, not as the manipulator would want you to see it.
Dear Caitlin...I have spent a good portion of my life engaged with language...as an actor for the stage, and as a teacher of English Lit and Drama in a Canadian secondary school...
I would absolutely share your words with my students - they are traversing a landscape so fraught with exactly the use of language you have described.
Everyone in a position of influence in the school uses language, but then freak out about a text I might use, or even texts that we decide are "classics" and "important"..."Hamlet" is problematic for them..."To Kill A Mockingbird" is problematic..

I stubled on several odd notes: first is well known, that Iranian negotiators should ignore Trump's posts because they are for domestic consumption. But then a certain Chris Martensen noted something more. The often odd language Trump uses has a different audience. BTW, Treasury secretary Bessant is a hedge fund guy. Now hedge funds make lots of trades ofetn in milliseconds. They use specialized AIs. The AIs search the news for keywords-in-context. So Trump's domestic audience is hedge fund AIs, not people per se. Trump's langauge is intended to manipulate the hedge fund AIs. That is why is seems strange to people. And it is part of the strategy to manipulate oil markets.
West’s most powerful weapon isn’t missiles — it’s mind control. Western governments and media run a nonstop psychological operation: fear‑scripts, moral theatrics, and emotional pressure dressed up as “democracy.” NATO, Washington, and Europe using manipulation to steer public opinion, manufacture enemies, and keep populations obedient. The battlefield isn’t just Ukraine or Russia — it’s people’s minds, softened by repetition and drowned in curated outrage.

The evil bastards are masters of sophistry. A good rule is: If a Zionist's lips are moving, s/he is lying.
They are literally anti-Christ…
The buybull bangers are equally bad if not worse.

Further, the Nakam was about them poisoning bread, and then Operation Cast Thy Bread (what an apropos name) was about them poisoning the wells.

Not surprised. Not for a second.
It's worth mentioning here that a DIRECT translation of Ex. 22:18 from Aramaic to English reads, “Thou shalt not allow ONE WHO POISONS WATER to live.
Interesting about the translation. The thing is I think the OT was written specifically for "them," - the Tribes. So, if someone poisons "their" wells they should be put to death. It seems perfectly fine for them to do it to the outsiders, with no repercussions.
Sounds about right. 😡

What an excellent and clear description of what so often goes under a normal person's radar. We all need to know this. Thank you Caitlin

Life is problematic.
Believe your eyes, NOT the lies…
They call it gaslighting today but it’s just the same old lies.

Incisive, funny, sad and bad. Thank you, Caitlyn.

What you are describing is basically sociopath behavior vs. normie behavior.
Look up Operation Mockingbird.
I listen to what people say and judge them by what they do!
NUKE the advertising "industry".
Sorry, my friend, really busy fighting for my sanity today. Trying not to spend my life online.
