A grand political spectacle — a stage draped in red, white, and gold. Donald Trump stands at a podium beneath a banner reading PEACE IN OUR TIME while news cameras flash. Behind him, giant screens show footage of Gaza and Ukraine — bombed buildings, families displaced — partially obscured by the glare of the spotlights. The crowd below is divided: half cheering, half uneasy.
🕊️ Peace as Performance: Trump’s War on Truth, Democracy, and the American Soul
Response to Lev Parnas’s “EXPOSED: Trump’s Secret Plan for ‘Peace’ — and the Price the World Is Paying”

When Peace Becomes a Propaganda Tool
Since Donald Trump has been in the public eye for most of my life, I have come to know him well enough, after all these decades of him dominating the media, to understand that peace has never been his primary goal, unless it somehow serves his interests. He has always been a dealmaker, not a peacemaker, and every deal he strikes ends the same way: with him richer, more powerful, and surrounded by loyal oligarchs who mirror his appetite for domination. What he calls diplomacy is often just another form of theater, where power and greed masquerade as virtue and the audience is invited to applaud the illusion.
Last week, Lev Parnas published a powerful essay titled “EXPOSED: Trump’s Secret Plan for ‘Peace’ — and the Price the World Is Paying”, a piece that peeled back the curtain on the current administration’s latest performance. Parnas revealed that Trump’s “peace plan” was never intended to save lives or resolve conflicts. Instead, it was a calculated stage act designed to consolidate influence, reward allies, and rewrite the narrative of war into one of personal glory. According to his sources, Trump’s back-channel negotiations with Netanyahu and Putin were not about ending bloodshed but controlling its timing — ensuring that when destruction reached its peak, he could step forward as the self-anointed savior of a chaos he had helped create.
As Parnas wrote, what we are witnessing is peace as performance: a public-relations campaign disguised as statesmanship. It’s a show built on the pain of others, a spectacle that thrives on the world’s exhaustion. While the cameras linger on images of reunited families and ceasefire celebrations, the machinery of profit and power continues to grind beneath the surface. Trump’s “peace” is not about compassion or understanding; it’s about control.
Peace as Performance
Throughout history, rulers have used the language of peace to justify domination. The Romans celebrated Pax Romana as a golden age, though it was purchased through conquest and subjugation. Twentieth-century dictators used “peace” as a euphemism for submission, silencing dissent in the name of stability. Trump’s version of the same story is uniquely American — a reality-TV adaptation of tyranny, where image replaces substance and moral theater replaces moral leadership.
In Trump’s world, peace is a brand. It is a tagline, a marketing hook, a stage set dressed in patriotic colors. Every tragedy, from Gaza to Kyiv, becomes a prop for the ongoing mythology of “Trump the Deal Maker.” The pattern is always the same: create or exploit a crisis, declare yourself indispensable, then sell your solution as salvation. But when one man defines peace as obedience and measures success by the wealth it brings him and his circle, what results is not peace at all — it is performance fascism, a fusion of spectacle and control that feeds on attention, confusion, and fear.
The American Purge
While the headlines fixate on ceasefires abroad, the same authoritarian choreography unfolds quietly within our own borders. Trump’s second term has not begun with healing or unity but with punishment. His administration has turned inward, weaponizing power against the very institutions that uphold democracy — the universities, the press, the judiciary, the civil service, and the diverse citizenry that once represented the heart of the American promise.
The purge began on day one. With the stroke of a pen, Executive Orders 14151 and 14173 dismantled federal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs, erasing decades of progress in a single afternoon. DEI staff were placed on leave, offices shuttered, and websites scrubbed clean. Even Executive Order 11246 — the historic rule prohibiting discrimination among federal contractors — was revoked. It was a message written in bureaucratic ink but heard loud and clear across every agency: loyalty, not fairness, is now the measure of worth.
An empty federal office, boxes stacked by the door labeled Diversity Office, Equity Reports, and Inclusion Training. Fluorescent lights flicker. The American flag slumps in a corner. A removed nameplate lies on the floor beside a half-empty coffee cup. The air feels abandoned and hollow.
Within weeks, the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, began circulating lists of employees deemed insufficiently loyal. Career professionals — scientists, analysts, educators — were dismissed or sidelined, their expertise replaced with ideological obedience. Even the CIA was authorized to fire intelligence officers whose only “offense” was participating in DEI initiatives. Competence no longer protected you; neutrality was treason.
From there, the assault spread to universities, where funding threats and investigations became tools of intimidation. “Anti-DEI” task forces, often cloaked in the language of combating antisemitism, pressured campuses to eliminate programs that promoted diversity or equity. The effect was chilling. Educators self-censored. Students feared speaking their truth. The intellectual independence that defines higher education — the engine of innovation itself — was quietly undermined.
Students gather on a grassy college campus for a peaceful protest. Signs read Knowledge Is Not the Enemy, Freedom to Learn, and Stop the Purge. Behind them, a stately brick university building has a new banner reading ANTI-DEI TASK FORCE. Faculty members watch anxiously from the steps. The mood is tense but hopeful.
Immigrants and undocumented students became the next convenient scapegoats. Policies once designed to protect them were dismantled or ignored. “Safe zones” were reclassified as law-enforcement targets. In-state tuition for undocumented students was revoked in some regions, cutting off futures before they began. In the name of law and order, cruelty was rebranded as patriotism.
At the same time, the Department of Education’s civil-rights division shrank to a shadow of its former self. Offices overseeing special education and disability rights were closed. Enforcement staff were laid off. Oversight faded into silence. As protections vanished, the vulnerable were left unguarded, and decades of progress unraveled in months.
A young woman stands in the sunlight, her glasses reflecting the stark words “ANTI-DEI.” The mirrored slogan captures the tension of the moment — a society turning against its own promise of diversity and inclusion. Her expression, caught between fear and defiance, speaks to a generation witnessing the erosion of progress. In her lenses, the struggle is literally reflected: the fight for equality, freedom of thought, and the right to learn without fear.
Meanwhile, as ordinary citizens lost safeguards, Trump’s inner circle of billionaires — his oligarchic court — grew ever wealthier. Contracts flowed freely to allies. Regulations evaporated. Privatization replaced public service. What was once a government of the people has become a marketplace for the powerful, where loyalty is rewarded with access and silence is purchased with fear.
Inside a lavish golden dining room, Trump and several wealthy businessmen toast with champagne. The room glows with chandeliers and gold leaf. Outside the window, visible through rain-streaked glass, a homeless veteran walks past in the cold night, carrying a tattered American flag.
Through the golden curve of a champagne glass, the image of power distorts into irony. A polished face, framed by luxury, gazes outward—oblivious to the world beyond the window where an old man limps past in tattered clothes. The glass becomes a mirror of America’s new divide: one man sealed in privilege, another exiled to struggle. It’s a portrait of an age where wealth and suffering coexist within the same frame—separated only by glass.

The Great Dismantling
Symbols of American democracy fracture under the weight of spectacle and deception. Crumbling marble columns, torn flags, and glowing screens blur into one another, revealing a nation caught between illusion and decay. Power thrives amid the confusion, its showmanship masking the quiet collapse of institutions once held sacred.
What we are witnessing is not just a political movement but a deliberate dismantling of the American experiment — a methodical corrosion of both government and Constitution, accomplished with breathtaking speed and precision. Executive orders now replace congressional debate. Loyalty tests supplant merit. Propaganda overwhelms truth. Privatization consumes public service. Fear becomes the new definition of freedom.
Every authoritarian regime begins by redefining reality. Once truth itself is made negotiable, everything else — from the rule of law to the moral compass of a nation — becomes a commodity. Trump’s genius, if one dares call it that, lies in his ability to package tyranny as entertainment. He doesn’t silence dissent by censorship alone; he drowns it out with spectacle until people can no longer tell where reality ends and performance begins.
Greed as a Spiritual Illness
A luminous golden heart, sculpted from coins and jewels, hovers at the center of the scene, pulsing faintly like a dying sun. Figures cloaked in shadow reach toward it, their eyes hollow, their hands trembling in hunger and despair. Above them, soft beams of blue-white light pour down from unseen heavens, touching only the edges of the darkness. The contrast between radiance and shadow reveals a profound struggle — the soul’s battle between compassion and consumption, between awakening and the glittering illusion of wealth.
Greed, at its core, is a spiritual disease — a severing of empathy from ambition, of purpose from conscience. In Trump’s empire, money is worshipped as divinity, power is prayer, and domination is the highest sacrament. This isn’t politics as usual; it is a psychological inversion of values, a civilization turned inward on itself. Yet there is a more profound spiritual truth beneath the chaos: peace cannot be imposed, only awakened. The peace that Jesus, Enki, and the enlightened masters spoke of arises not from coercion but from consciousness, from the recognition of shared humanity.
When a society forgets that, it loses more than freedom; it loses its soul.
Awakening the Collective
Beneath the fading light of dusk, a sea of people stands before the Capitol, each holding a small flame against the growing dark. Candles flicker in trembling hands, their light reflected in tearful eyes and quiet faces turned toward hope. The air hums with unity — not loud, but resolute — as thousands of tiny lights merge into a single glow, outshining the shadows that once divided them. It is not a protest but a prayer, a collective remembrance that peace, compassion, and truth are born from within the human heart.
And yet, even now, humanity is capable of remembering. Authoritarianism thrives in silence, but truth thrives in connection. Every act of courage — every word spoken, every kindness offered, every fact shared — weakens the machinery of control. The illusion of power depends on the compliance of the masses, and when enough of us refuse to perform in the dictator’s play, the performance collapses under its own falseness.
Hands of many colors and ages come together, each holding a single candle whose melting wax drips between their fingers. The flames merge into one steady glow, small yet powerful against the gathering dusk. In this intimate act, division dissolves, and the warmth of shared light becomes a quiet symbol of hope — the reminder that when hearts join, even the smallest flame can illuminate the darkness.
We are the counter-current — the light in the dark theater — and our awakening is the one thing fear cannot command.

The Illusion Unmasked
Peace built on domination will continually implode, for it is constructed from fear rather than love. Peace built on truth, however, endures. Lev Parnas was right to call Trump’s peace a performance. My addition is this: the act is nearing its end. Humanity is stirring, awakening, remembering. And no amount of gold leaf, propaganda, or self-glorifying spectacle can conceal the truth that beneath it all, we are still — and always will be — one.

Half bathed in radiant light, half shrouded in shadow, a serene face rises from still waters — the reflection of the eternal balance between creation and destruction, love and fear. Light crackles across one side like divine electricity, while darkness flows like ink on the other, each mirroring the other’s truth. The water ripples softly, blurring their boundary, revealing that within every soul, both forces coexist. It is not a war to be won, but a harmony to be remembered.

A luminous vision of duality and awakening — the face of a woman divided between radiant light and deep shadow, her reflection merging in still waters beneath a star-filled sky. The golden half symbolizes consciousness, purity, and the divine spark; the dark half, the unseen depths of shadow and mystery. Together, they form a perfect whole — the eternal balance of creation and destruction, love and fear, life and death — reminding us that enlightenment is born when we embrace both sides of ourselves.

✨ Join the awakening. Share light, truth, and courage.
A small flame pierces the darkness as humanity gathers around its fragile glow. Their faces—young and old, of many colors—reflect calm courage, each illuminated by the shared light of hope. Across from them, in the shadows, distorted figures of fear and hatred snarl in frustration, unable to cross the boundary of illumination. The candle becomes more than fire; it is the spark of consciousness itself, proving that even the faintest light can hold back the endless night.
