Fox News has turned my senior housing neighbors into sedition driven zombies; DIY Hospice on a Heating Planet blog

I ended up running back to my apartment calling out "They're lying to you they're lying to you" like the guy in the opening of this 1978 movie trailer, after a recent incident in my HUD senior housing complex. My neighbors, their Fox News mesmerizing interrupted, turned into snarling bullies shouting at me "Shut up get out of the lobby if you don't like it" after I pointed out a lie coming from the TV screen. Invasion of the Body Snatchers is how the whole incident made me feel, what Fox News is doing to Americans while no one stops them. The network gets inside their brains and turns them into something other than what they used to be; and they communicate with each other with knowing glances and eye rolls, implying that they know something we don't know. Since I first saw what the network was doing in 2013, I knew that Fox News is an information warfare attack on the USA from within, taking our cherished First Amendment and turning it against us.

********

We are being Rwanda-ized.

******************

Someone controlling certain media is using it to turn one tribe of Americans against the other and it's no coincidence that Rwanda genocide happened in 1994 and then in 1995 Fox News appeared in the usa. 

AAARGH turn off your TV sets and start thinking, humans, aaaaaarrgh.

*****

I was not going to publish this but if I don't I'll just keep running it and running it in my head so here goes.

The incident last week

While I gazed at cans of soup in the free food section of the lobby, Laura Ingraham came on after commercials to announce, "here's something to make Democrats angry." That is not news, I thought, that is hate messaging directed at people like me. The TV in the HUD senior housing Lobby is broadcasting hate messaging so half the residents will know why they should hate the other half.

I am not exaggerating here, this is what Fox News is doing.

Fox is telling people lies designed to make us hate our neighbors.

While picking up my mail and messages last Wednesday, I saw our community TV was turned again to Fox with 2 residents watching, a report on jobs and from the White House I know it was completely false; and spontaneously I said to the two residents sitting there, that's a lie they are lying to you.

They did not ask what, what is not true about the report, they just started shouting shut up get out of here get out of the lobby if you don't like it.

***********

Shut up and get out of the lobby if you don't like Fox News!!!! [snarl].

*************

All three of them as a guy who I never saw before walking by joined them.

That is what Fox News is doing to people

Frothing at the mouth like Mad Dogs made mad by the people on the TV set 

Agitated at the sudden Interruption of their infusion of hate massage from the TV set. I interrupted it and they came after me. 

As a result I had three residents shouting shut up get out of here at me. If you don't like Fox News you can get outta the lobby.

I have a 50 plus year career as a journalist, My first jobs out of college were with NASA and the Navy in public affairs so I know what I'm talking about.

Fox News is turning Americans against each other and it's dangerous. 

********

Amateur Seditionists

They printed up a flyer announcing

'Take "control" of TV time in the lobby!'

The word control is in quotes because they really mean something else. They mean they are going to turn on Fox News and force the residents to tear it whether they want to or not. 

In the future historians will study this phenomenon of middle-aged and older low income Americans, especially women, who love with Donald Trump even though everything he stands for works against their needs. Those historians should look at 2015 when Trump orchestrated release of the "I like to grab them by the pussy" quote. I'm convinced he knew there was a population of post divorce women in this country who are lonely and live sex-deficient lives; and when they heard him say that, it sparked them internally and for the last 11 years they've wanted him to grab them by theirs.

************

[From here on out this is just a rant, a Blog with no purpose or end, just if I don't get this stuff off my mind and publish so somebody reads it, I will keep running it and running it and running it in my head which is what the propagandists want, they want to drive the smart people crazy. I can't let that happen to me.] 

********************

One of the weirdest things to me as someone who has not been hypnotized by Fox News is the way my neighbors think they know something the rest of us don't know. I have a feeling if I took time to watch that horrible network, I'd see how they're doing it, but I can't tolerate 10 seconds of it because it's always lies every time including this situation I was standing there thinking oh no it's Fox News and within 10 seconds, one, Laura Ingraham was telling them here's something that will make your Democrat friends mad and then 5 seconds later and then right after that she's repeating the LIE from the White House that jobs are fine unemployment is down. 

This is where you see that Fox News Watchers have lost critical thinking skills.

About a million people have been laid off in the last year in the USA and nobody's hiring them nobody's replacing those jobs, whole Industries are collapsing, and my mesmerized neighbors are sitting there with mouths hanging open believing the lies the lies the lies they're lying to you they're lying to you.

****

Theirs was a fumbling and amateur attempt at Espionage by grumpy old women in my senior housing complex inspired by Fox News. In the 2024 campaign every weekday at 2:00 p.m. a group of them would vacate the lobby and ride up to A's apartment where they would watch the five as if it was a message coming to them from God straight through Jesse Watters' plump and Pampered Hands. 

how did I get off on such a tangent.

it's because of voice typing, I can just go on and on and on I got to edit this 

Historians will study Maga in the future with great curiosity 

I live among a weird anthropological phenomenon that is happening in America today, poor people who vote Republican and also think Donald Trump was sent by God Himself. They are so low-income they are my neighbors here in HUD subsidized senior housing for poor people only.

Like THIS

It's like the movie Invasion of the Body snatchers. 

40 years ago, old people were just old people. Now they've been armed in the brain by Fox News et al carefully calculated lies and they seem ready to take on those damn liberals. I'm not even a liberal and I get attacked by them. They are enraged and ready to attack at the slightest provocation.

For a person like me who celebrates 50 years of professional journalism this year, it is very difficult to see Americans falling for disinformation- so freely; here is a link to a post about my first paid J job in Travis County Texas:in 1976.

*********

My 'counter culture reach-out project' for Jimmy Carter 1976, to get Vietnam war era 'dropouts' to drop back in and vote for him I got an A ++ on the paper I wrote about the project, which I found in a box last week, scanned below: https://cityofangels25.blogspot.com/2023/12/my-counter-culture-reach-out-project.html 

link above is to report on my first pro journalism job in 1976 on the Jimmy Carter campaign in travis county texas.

**********

it is really hard for me to see even 10 seconds of Fox News because every time I try, I hear them reporting something that I know is not true and it happened again Wednesday night here in my senior housing place where all the doors are locked to keep out people from the outside but the real danger is right here inside the building on TV sets tuned to Fox News.

Last Wednesday, it would have been nice for us to watch the Olympics all together as a joyful group, but Fox News and Donald Trump have ruined that probably for decades to come. 

****************

Hate radio, newsmax, all the entrails that have come out after the successful launch of Fox News in 1995 

The producers of this propaganda have been doing this for decades. They knew exactly how to reach receptors in the brain that make the hate messaging on Fox News make a human feel so good.

What scares me is since my neighbors and other Fox zombies have been brainwashed over their TV sets into hating their neighbors, how long before Fox convinces them to pick up weapons and start killing their neighbors? It's called hate radio for a reason. 

Back in the 70s and 80s I had jobs where I learned a lot about propaganda and using news etc to manipulate people, including tactics of the Soviet Union, because when I worked at Nasa it was in the public affairs office. USA was running joint missions with the Soviets, and Russian journalists were hanging around The Newsroom where I worked. 

So the first time I saw Fox News in 2014 I said to the TV set, that's Soviet propaganda. 

What scares me is the people who responded to Fox News were already receptive to the hate messaging. What scares me is I live surrounded by people who have fallen for this hate messaging and are vulnerable and receptive, ready for the next level of disinformation warfare. 

So for now I'm just going to run down and pick up my mail at times when no one is around and just stay inside my apartment getting everything delivered; luckily I have a lot of windows, and there's ways to go out to the yard without interacting with too many neighbors. That's the way I have to live for a while. Maga did not make America great not by a long shot. 

*********

CUT paragraph:

they were ignorant and preferred their lack of knowledge to the effort of finding out what is really going on, why study or even concentrate when you can just sit and stare at a TV and have people like Jesse Waters fill your head with propaganda, propaganda that was created by people who've been doing this for decades and know exactly how to reach those receptors in your brain that make the hate messaging on Fox make you feel so good.

***

I'm also feeling a weird historical connection to people in 1930s Eastern Europe who saw what was developing around them and couldn't get out and so, like me, found a way to isolate and stay away from it all and hope it doesn't get worse.

***

I got it off my chest, not going to promote this post locally.

Now I can stop waking up in the middle of the night hearing my neighbors shout shut up get the fuck out of the lobby if you don't like Fox News. I hope that stops now that I published this; if nothing else publishing it lets people know what is happening on top of everything else going wrong in the United States, 

Fox News has turned half of the US population against the other half just like a radio station did in Rwanda in 1994.

We are being Rwanda-ized.

Climate change: Tropical disease no longer confined to tropical zones- Universal Vibes channel 6-min Nov 25 report w transcript, Heating Planet blog

[Short version of previous science lecture post] Climate change is not just rising temperatures; it's a catalyst for the spread of disease. Changing climates create ideal conditions for pathogens and their vectors, leading to the emergence of West Nile virus and dengue in new regions. Compounding factors including germ adaptation, extreme weather, and climate-driven migration. Delve into the issue of climate justice and the global south's unfair burden. WATCH & READ: Climate Change: The Hidden Threat of Infectious Diseases, transcript: [Universal Vibes Channel from United States since Oct 14, 2025 58 subscribers 2,282 videos]

TRANSCRIPT:

A new global warning reveals a troubling truth. Climate change isn't just melting ice caps. It's helping infectious diseases conquer new territories. Rising heat, shifting rainfall, and extreme storms are opening doors for bacteria, viruses, and their carriers. Think mosquitoes, ticks, and midges to thrive in places they never could before. And this is happening faster than most realize.

A sweeping new report for the COP30 climate summit prepared by scientists from the global south through the climate amplified diseases and epidemics climate E consortium lays out the evidence in detail. According to their findings, life-threatening illnesses like West Nile virus, dengue, and chikonga are steadily moving across Africa and inner parts of Europe. These diseases are no longer confined to tropical zones. Climate change has rewritten their boundaries.

The report's authors, Tulio Daivera, Cheryl Baxter, and Mambio Kosa are urging world leaders to act now. Their message is clear. 

1.07

The world must strengthen health systems, protect vulnerable populations, and prevent climate linked epidemics from spiraling out of control. 

Why climate change fuels disease spread?

Climate change doesn't just make the world hotter. It fundamentally changes how diseases behave. Several interconnected factors drive this risk. Pathogen adaptation. Disease-causing organisms like viruses and bacteria evolve quickly. The chiconga virus, for example, recently mutated to thrive in aedes albopictus mosquitoes, which now live across Asia, Europe, and North America. A single mutation gave these mosquitoes unprecedented efficiency in spreading the virus.

Extreme weather chaos, droughts, floods, and heat waves are reshaping ecosystems and disrupting sanitation systems.

When floods hit, they foster waterborne diseases like cholera caused by vibriocalerie while also creating ideal mosquito breeding sites. Drought doesn't help either. It concentrates people and animals around scarce water sources, intensifying transmission, mass migration as droughts and floods displace millions.

2.20

Overcrowding and temporary settlements worsens exposure to disease. Limited access to clean water and toilets causes endemic illnesses to flare. This issue is particularly alarming in Africa where public health systems already struggle with limited resources. And here's the controversial part. Despite contributing the least to global emissions, developing nations carry the heaviest disease burden.

Should richer, high emission countries contribute more to climate health funds? The tech tools fighting climate epidemics to stop outbreaks before they spread, researchers rely heavily on surveillance, especially genomic tracking. This technique sequences the genetic code of viruses from early cases to trace their evolution in real time. During Covid 19 genomic surveillance helped detect and monitor variants worldwide. The same system recently identified and contained a Marberg virus outbreak in Rwanda. Another breakthrough approach involves merging climate, genomic, and ecological data to predict potential outbreaks.

3.30

For example, a spatial model mapped where midges that transmit the orurapush virus could flourish, combining land, soil, and climate data to forecast resurgence risks in the Amazon basin. Adding to this toolkit is the one health approach which examines humans, animals, and the environment together. In Kenya, it has already proven critical for managing Rift Valley fever, a disease linking livestock, mosquitoes, and people.

What happens if we ignore the warnings? If current trends continue, the future looks grim. Experts estimate that by 2050, climate change could force 113 million Africans from their homes. As displaced people settle in areas with poor sanitation and limited medical care, disease outbreaks could become frequent and deadly.

Migration also carries pathogens across borders, requiring coordination among nations. Without cooperation, outbreaks won't stop at one country's edge. They'll ripple across continents. The situation could test the limits of health systems, especially in countries already coping with economic or political instability.

What needs to happen next? To prevent catastrophe, governments must invest in resilient health care systems that can handle floods, wildfires, and heat waves. They also need to ensure fair access to vaccines, rapid diagnostics, and affordable testing. Not just in major hospitals, but in every community.

5.00

Local involvement is key. When people can report early signs of disease, officials can respond faster and smarter. Sustainable funding is another non-negotiable priority. Disease preparedness can't rely on short-term projects. Continuous support for research, coordination, and public awareness will make the difference between early containment and uncontrollable epidemics. On November 13th, the COP30 health day will spotlight these very challenges through the Belem health action plan…[skip to]

5.48

At its core, tackling climate amplified disease isn't just about medicine. It's about fairness. Nations that have historically contributed the most to carbon pollution shoulder more responsibility for the health crisis emerging from it. Climate justice demands accountability, transparency, and meaningful investment in the global south. END OF TRANSCRIPTION

[EZ version of last post yesterday https://cityofangels25.blogspot.com/2025/12/climate-migration-disease-spread-21-min.html]

I'm sitting here at 6,000 feet watching America fall.

I’ve got to hand it to whoever constructed this coup, because it is fascinating to watch it play out. As one American Institution after another falls apart, and everywhere you would turn to defend institutions is gone– when you think well at least we have the court as a last resort, we will get Justice there, and you realize every judge is part of the MAGA Revolution too, all you can do is Marvel at how well thought out this attack on the United States was. They started in 1994 when right after the Rwanda genocide, coincidentally.Fox News arrived.*** 

So since 1995 we’ve grown a population of Americans who were born After Fox and, depending on what kind of home they were brought up in, may have never heard anything but the anti-American messaging of Fox News and its extensions in their entire lives. 

Like Karoline Leavitt. 

_______

We’ve grown a population of Americans who were born After Fox and may have never heard anything but anti-American messaging their entire lives.

_______________

Now Donald Trump as President has put many of those people who are second third generation Fox News brainwashed all over his administration. 

We should have never let this happen and I wonder if it's too late to stop it

It took a brainwashed population to allow Trump to pack the courts the media the Republican Party he’s packed everything. 

So now I'm age 77 watching, from 6,000 feet up in a town on Lake Tahoe in Northern California, marveling, truly marveling, at how well this information Warfare attack succeeded. I just hope whoever is going to run USA from here on out is going to be benevolent towards broke old ladies like me. 

PS while the focus in this disinformation attack has been on Russia, I think they do not have the money to finance an attack like this, which meant creating entire “news” organizations, getting people elected, employing online stalkers, and who knows what else {Elon probably does}. Russia has the knowhow, but Arab Nations are more likely to afford to pull it off. 

Oh well, ladies, in Arab influenced culture, at least we can stop shaving….

*** In 1995 Fox News showed up on America's newly created cable news lineups with a message to a targeted audience that it's okay to hate your neighbors, so much so that you want them gone. That was basically the comm psyops technique used in Rwanda in 1994, to get neighbor to pick up machete and kill neighbor. I don't think it's a coincidence that Fox News showed up all over USA one year after the genocide in Rwanda; and the guy who orchestrated the radio campaign that nudged on that genocide was arrested in Paris just as the covid pandemic broke out and I don't know if he ever was prosecuted. 

ADD 2:

I've written about the similarities between Rwanda 1994 and USA turning against itself since 2019 after I worked on a documentary about the neighbor on neighbor killing that was orchestrated by a hate-radio station,

I still think US was Rwanda’ed- media outlets turned tribe against tribe and now we watch as the victors sharpen their machetes getting ready for January 20.  

Madison Square Garden rally scotched it

I am more convinced than ever that Trump wants to lose, because he's got a plan…

Melania said please welcome our next Commander in Chief, not President. Hmm.

USA is just a drug to Elon Musk he's getting high on us

Dr. Phil went from brilliant to jingoist in two decades. So sad.

He's losing on purpose so he can unleash mayhem nationwide, random violence, brainwashed neighbors wielding weapons- I Hope I'm Wrong but- stocking up on supplies ready to hide inside a while. I swear I think they are about to do a Rwanda on us. Hope I'm wrong hope hope hope

Tues Oct 30 continued 

They know there are Puerto Ricans in every state- they are losing on purpose- stay alert-

“Biden just called us all garbage!” the gals who watch The Five in my low income senior building lobby were repeating to each other when I went to get my mail. The woman hollering was HAPPY Joyous CELEBRATING because now she had a reason to hate Biden and Democrats. She repeated her claim several times as the group hobbled past me as I got my mail. I wanted to say no that's not what Biden said, Fox edited it to say that, but something menacing about the joy she was taking in repeating the lie, designed to generate hatred, made me bite my lip. Instead I'm here in my rooms repeating: That's not what Biden said, Fox News edited it to say something it didn't say, so you could have an excuse to hate people like me. I'm back behind closed doors and pulled curtains. People who are brainwashed are not safe to be around and these people are ENJOYING being able to hate freely now. God I can't wait until all this is over.

This is scary. Fox broadcasts a lie so the OPPOSITE of truth is broadcast, after Trump repeatedly called us all garbage, Fox edits a statement Biden makes to say trump supporters are garbage No they just don't understand what an apostrophe means... BUT NOW Vance is accusing Dems of calling then all Garbage rallying up the anger and hatred among the guys who carry AR 15s on their shoulders while sipping 7-11 coffee bored and fat from not working in decades. this is USA...

WOW Wed afternoon and violence against Democrats is already starting

Machete wielding teen in Florida attacks democrats dang I hate when my predictions come true "Caleb Williams arrested after brandishing his weapon at two women, ages 71 and 54, police said."

nbcnews.com

Machete-wielding teen arrested after group accused of intimidating Democratic supporters at Florida polling station, police say

Caleb James Williams was arrested after allegedly brandishing his weapon at two women, ages 71 and 54, police said.
