Cyber Psalm continues its effort to help make authentic faith and vibrant democracy the way of life. Now, looking to 2026, there are barriers to be removed, repairs to be made, and important steps to be taken.
Cyber Psalm is a whisper of resolve and hope, against the greed and immorality that threatens to consume the world and mankind. In our dire state of affairs, every little bit either helps or hurts. The middle ground is disappearing, yet important people and organizations are still capitulating. It is a battle and all is not lost. You can make a positive difference!
So, Cyber Psalm comes down on the side of good – growing goodness for the good of all. Good is manifest in Jesus, with whom all things are possible. Jesus, that brownish Palestinian.

ALERT: This is an emergency
Dangerously, our government is characterized by criminal mayhem, dereliction of duty, and operational failure. Hence, the problems are large and many. However, the consolidating issue, around which people will gather, is affordability. People are losing the means to live as they are accustomed. Understandably, affordability, along with the many diabolical implications of the ‘big beautiful’ bill, will be the start-up leverage point in this election cycle.
It is great that ‘affordability’ provides an entry point to ‘stop the bleeding’ and begin the healing process. However, any serious effort to restore representative democracy with 1st amendment freedoms must look at the entire picture. So, this means considering root causes and self-defeating behaviors like endless war and imperialism. Without such diligence, any progress on affordability will be, at best, fleeting.
The USA has sacrificed its world position and drifted away from democracy into an authoritarian state with the characteristics of fascism. US-Israeli imperialism and settler colonialism is making us pariahs to the world, while the free press shrinks away. We violate international law as readily as our own. Simultaneously, as the policy seems to be ‘make enemies and abandon partners’, the USA’s weapon systems are no longer a clear advantage.
Now, even weathy Mitt Romney says tax the rich
Most of mankind’s mortal leaders, those who control the business economy and hold government position, are self-absorbed and not following The Way or concerned with the common man. In fact, the weaponization of fake–Christian nationalism has been curried for man to have man’s way, the powerful political business man’s way, over God.
The USA’s tightly consolidated authoritarian power structure is delivering (and feeding upon) hate, fear, greed, and division. These dastardly politics violate our faith-based values and tears down our democracy. As it is now, Russia and China are no more of a threat to US citizens than our own current government.
Fake-Christian nationalism
Fake-Christian nationalism is a racist-born blending of church and state for purposes of greed and power. This extremist tendency has always been there, but started ramping up in America in about 1980. This fakery has gone too far in claiming a voice of Christianity; it is an irreligious ruse.
Important: A failing US government that actively targets the citizenry (as we have today per project 2025) could not have been tried and cannot be sustained without weaponized fake-Christian nationalism.
Goodness and fulfillment are lost to fake-Christian nationalism, no matter what people have been told. Immoral, greed-driven, powerful people are openly betraying the masses they are supposed to represent. This amounts to thievery, contrary to God and the will of the people. They use fake-Christian nationalism in a web of lies and crime, outside of God’s constant pursuing love. They turn their backs on Christ, for racism and discrimination, for self-aggrandizement to the point of idolatry. Only we the people can stop them.
Fake-Christian nationalism is elusive in its many dark variants. Yet, it is consistent as that infamous ‘opiate of the masses’.
Bottomless greed and immorality
US-Israeli fascism is the ‘tip of the spear’ for much worldly evil, starting with endless war and extending to homeland troop deployments and random mass shootings. Cyber Psalm is against this slaughter and the many costs it represents. Certainly, US-Israeli fascism is undermining the USA’s ability to raise free-thinking young people, or to even govern. Unchecked, the homeland is not immune to Gaza-like conditions.

Cyber Psalm is brought to you by Jim Sutton. Jim follows the news, strong Christian teachers, and heroic others. He writes to raise awareness and prepare for (and promote and execute) informed action.
Jim lives in metro Detroit and makes use of a class B camper van. He and his partner roam this beautiful nation. They interact with both the “city monsters” and those “killer hillbillies” (tongue-in-cheek). God love them all. America needs them all. Love one another.
We need faith not fear, as the church equivocates, the environment collapses, and fascism digs in with advanced technology. No AI here.
Cyber Psalm philosophy
With love, Cyber Psalm recognizes the urgent need to peacefully confront and save all people from authoritarianism and fake-Christian nationalism. We accept the true goodness of God and let it move us into action of deliberate choice, for what is morally right and beneficial. Good for man in faith, and good for country in free democracy.
Peace be with you
