I replied to this Bluesky posting with this message:

"when a fortunate rhythm has been struck by the #artist , you experience a radiance. You are held in #aesthetic arrest. That is the epiphany. And that is what might in religious terms be thought of as the all-informing Christ principle coming through." - Joseph Campbell, 1988, #PowerOfMyth book

I liked and reposted the posting. Then "Sirius" blocked me with no reply. I have never interacted with this bluesky user before. People are incredibly hostile on USA media systems in June 2026. Merely quoting a nonfiction book from year 1988 and you are instantly blocked for one single message. #BlockHappyBluesky #FWakeBluesky /\ https://bsky.app/profile/sirius2368.bsky.social/post/3lsggxufqts2x

"society is supposed to help us have the realization. Man should not be in the service of society, society should be in the service of man. When man is in the service of society, you have a monster state, and that’s what is threatening the world at this minute." #MonsterState

Putin is not dumb.
Hitler was not dumb.
Trump is not dumb.

All three, Putin / Trump / Hitler, knew the Torah + Bible were #ScienceFiction and how audiences worship bow to #Fiction Storytellers. Rupert Murdoch knows too. Not stupid people.
