A Call for Revolution of Consciousness for the New Dawn of Humanity

 

“For what’s been “normal” can still change,
If our love expands its range.
So let’s unmask Empire’s spin,
And build a world worth living in.”

“The Empire” – The Frontier Man

 

The Lie Always Comes First

Before the bombs fall, before the sanctions choke, before the drone strike turns a wedding into a crater—there is a story.

The story that says: We are the good guys.

This is the first crime of the Empire: the lie that cloaks its violence in virtue. Not just the violence itself—but the ease with which it is made invisible, the speed with which it is turned into entertainment. The American Empire is not merely a machine of war. It is a factory of myths. Myths so seductive, so immersive, that they turn complicity with murder into identity.

This is not just domination—it is sorcery. A kind of psychic conquest that replaces reality with ritual, conscience with costume. An empire whose power does not rest only on military supremacy, but on narrative supremacy: the ability to make injustice feel like order, exploitation feel like generosity, and war feel like safety.

It is not just that this Empire kills.

It teaches its people to cheer for the killing.

To wave flags while children in Gaza suffocate under rubble.

To post patriotic memes while Yemeni families bury their dead in desperate silence.

To recite slogans about liberty while applauding the starvation of whole nations through economic warfare.

This is not simply propaganda—it is the construction of a moral architecture in which an atrocity becomes acceptable, and then—inevitably—unnoticeable.

This Empire does not only commit atrocities; it manufactures accomplices. Through screens that romanticize war. Through slogans that bury genocide in euphemisms. Through silence that drowns any cry from the oppressed. The Empire has perfected a kind of violence that needs no chains—only belief.

The most effective Empire is not the one that enslaves bodies, but the one that colonizes minds. American imperialism has done something few empires in history have managed: it has taught people to identify with their own propaganda. Its greatest triumph is psychological.

It convinces its citizens to not only tolerate violence, but to demand it.

To not only ignore suffering, but to justify it.

To not only believe lies—but to depend on them.

This conditioning begins in childhood—through textbooks, national holidays, and tales of “exceptionalism.”

 

The Myth of Exceptionalism and the Logic of Violence

“Exceptionalism” is the sacred myth at the heart of the Empire—the belief that one nation, one people, one way of life is inherently superior to all others. It is a story told not as aspiration, but as destiny. This belief is not benign; it is the ideological engine that justifies domination and subjugation. For if a people are exceptional, then what they do is not subject to the same moral standards as others. Their wars are not wars of aggression, but of liberation. Their wealth is not exploitation, but reward. Their control is not tyranny, but stewardship.

But the logic of exceptionalism always leads to murder.

It creates a moral hierarchy in which the lives of others—those who do not belong to the “exceptional” group—are worth less, or nothing at all. The Other becomes expendable. Bombed villages become “collateral damage.” Sanction-starved children become “strategic costs.” Every crime becomes an act of righteousness when committed by the “exceptional.”

This myth disables empathy. It transforms suffering into statistics and tragedy into tactics. When people are taught that their nation is uniquely virtuous, they are less likely to question its actions, less willing to listen to those it harms, and more inclined to see its violence as necessary or even noble.

Exceptionalism breeds a spiritual blindness—a belief that the world must conform to one vision, and that those who resist must be corrected, punished, or erased.

In this way, the myth of moral superiority becomes the psychological groundwork for war. It does not just make killing permissible—it makes it justified and invisible. And worst of all, it makes killing feel like virtue.

It is reinforced by a compliant mainstream media machine that floods the public with stories of heroism, never horror.

The American public is not evil. But it has been heavily propagandized and trained to comply—trained to feel pride instead of guilt, superiority instead of humility, and fear instead of love and compassion. Empires thrive on fear—the fear of scarcity, of irrelevance, of the Other.

In this way, Empire sustains itself not by the iron fist, but through the velvet glove of myths. Myths strong enough to maintain a system of global cruelty without ever having to name it or to understand it.

 

The Seduction of Comfort

There is a reason why the American Empire is more dangerous than the dictatorships it condemns: because it does not need to suppress dissent by force. It has learned how to make people believe their silence is noble, their apathy is wisdom, and their complicity is patriotism.

It teaches obedience through comfort.

It rewards loyalty with ease.

And in doing so, it turns citizens into caretakers of Empire—even as it destroys everything that once made their lives worth living: their love, empathy, curiosity, and connection to humanity.

The Empire’s brilliance lies in making people think they are free, even while they remain shackled to a worldview that demands the constant death of others to sustain itself.

But no lie lasts forever.

The stories that justified centuries of war and plunder are beginning to crack. The myth of moral supremacy no longer holds in a world where mobile phone cameras are everywhere, and the dead can speak through a phone screen. The truth, long buried beneath Hollywood scripts and sanitized history, is resurfacing. And when it does, it doesn’t just threaten the Empire’s dominance—it reveals its corrupt and inhumane soul.

Because when people awaken from indoctrination, what dies first is the illusion of virtue. And that fall—that loss of imagined righteousness—shakes harder than any economic collapse or military defeat ever could.

 

A New Revolution of Consciousness

But what rises from those ruins?

What comes after the Empire of Lies has fallen—not just as a system, but as a story?

What lies ahead is not merely political upheaval but an existential reckoning with the crimes of the Empire and with the culture that enabled them. The danger was never just in drones or dollars, but in the deep psychic investment in a narrative of false benevolence. When that story breaks, so too does the veil that shielded the Empire from accountability.

The fall of such an Empire will not be a spectacle of fire—it will be a collapse of certainty. A rupture in the myths that have animated a nation. It will be an awakening, painful and profound, in which the true cost of false beliefs is finally revealed. And in that awakening, the world may discover not just justice, but clarity.

But what follows clarity? What replaces a culture built on fear, conquest, and obedience?

The answer must be nothing less than a reimagining of the human project—a new revolution of consciousness. A society built not on conquest and dominance, but on love, compassion, and dignity. Not on fear of the Other, but reverence for our shared humanity.

A society that recognizes that strength lies not in death and destruction, but in understanding and peaceful cooperation. That true freedom is not the license to dominate, but the capacity to live and love without needing to. That radical, unselfish love is not sentimental weakness, but the most resilient force we’ve ever known.

A humane society does not turn away from suffering because it is inconvenient or distant. It listens. It mourns what must be mourned, and protects what must be protected—not because it is profitable, but because it is just. It sees the beautiful child behind every death statistic, the family behind every bombing, the human soul behind every border. Such a society would view each person not as a citizen of Empire, but as a member of a global human family. It would understand that strength is in restraint, and power is in healing, not in harm. It would tell the truth about history, so that it may finally stop repeating itself.

This society would not mistake war for justice, or conquest for civilization. It would not starve the children of one nation to comfort the adults of another. It would not weaponize language and call it diplomacy. It would know that to build peace, we must dismantle the walls within ourselves.

It is a world where cooperation displaces coercion, where compassion exceeds conquest, where education enlightens and liberates rather than indoctrinates. A world that teaches history truthfully, that fosters critical thought, that upholds humanity above ideology.

Such a world is not a fantasy or utopia—it is the only way out of the moral abyss we find ourselves in. For us to survive and thrive on this planet demands empathy, cooperation, and a commitment to human dignity. It requires a society that teaches its children to question rather than obey, to listen rather than dominate, to care for others not because it is rewarded, but because it is the right thing to do.

 

The Fall of The Empire of Lies is the New Dawn of Humanity

When the Empire of Lies falls—and it will—it will not be the end of America, or any people.

It will be the end of a lie that cloaked its violence in virtue. That fall will shake the world. But it will also clear the ground for something honest and beautiful to grow. For the first time in centuries, humanity may have the chance to build not on the ruins of delusion, but on the solid foundation of truth.

And if we choose love over fear, understanding over ignorance, compassion over compliance, and peace and cooperation over conquest—then something truly astonishing becomes possible:

Not just the end of the Empire of Lies, but the new Dawn of Humanity.

French nationals Cécile Kohler and Jacques Paris have been charged with "spying" for Israel, a French diplomatic source and relatives told AFP.

Iranian officials have also charged the pair with "conspiracy to overthrow the regime" and "corruption on earth", the sources said.

"All we know is that they have seen a judge who confirmed the three charges," said Kohler's sister, adding that the two French nationals were still being denied access to independent lawyers.

All three charges carry the death penalty.

"These charges, if they are confirmed, are completely unfounded," said the diplomatic source.

Tehran has not confirmed the new charges.

The news came a day after a French diplomat was able to visit the two French nationals, whose families had demanded proof that they were alive after Israeli strikes.

The French foreign ministry did not specify where the visit occurred, amid uncertainty over the couple's whereabouts.

The fate of Kohler and Paris had been unknown since Israel targeted Tehran's Evin prison in an air strike last week, before a US-proposed ceasefire between the Middle East foes came into force.

Iran's judiciary said the Israeli strike on the prison had killed at least 79 people.

It has also said the Iranian prison authority transferred inmates out of Evin prison, without specifying their number or identifying them.

Several women prisoners have been transferred to Qarchak prison for women outside Tehran, which has a notorious reputation for its conditions.

Kohler, 40, and Paris, her 72-year-old partner, have been held in Iran since May 2022 on espionage charges their families reject.

Iran is believed to hold around 20 European nationals, many of whose cases have never been publicised, in what some Western governments including France describe as a strategy of hostage-taking aimed at extracting concessions from the West.

Three Europeans, who have not been identified, have also been arrested in the wake of the current conflict, two of whom are accused of spying for Israel, according to the authorities.

====================

 

Iran's move to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is no surprise. Experts explain why in an interview with Sputnik.

After the 12-day war with Israel and a US strike, Iran's decision is an expected outcome, Turkish political analyst Ceyda Karan tells Sputnik.

Tehran considers the IAEA responsible for Israel's attack on Iran and apparent spying on behalf of Tel Aviv.

For his part, Karan draws attention to the fact that the IAEA neither publicly condemned the illegal attacks by Israel and the US, "nor has it expressed condolences over the deaths of Iranian nuclear scientists with whom it previously cooperated.”

“What comes next? Is it possible for Iran to return to diplomacy and the IAEA inspection system? Without solid guarantees — unlikely. Because we’re talking about opponents who systematically lie and are capable of launching strikes even during negotiations," Karan says.

Regime Change Plot

The attacks' major goal wasn't to disrupt the Iran nuclear program but to trigger regime change in the country, according to retired admiral and expert Turker Erturk.

He believes that Israel could continue to push ahead with the coup d'etat plan and the ceasefire might not last for long. 

“Do you know why they agreed to this ceasefire today? Because global public opinion has become more aware," Erturk tells Sputnik. "The unipolar world order is a thing of the past. The Global South is rising. Russia and China have proven highly effective in backroom diplomacy.”
