If you are reading this, it means that we are under extraterrestrial attack.

Beware! Your brain may no longer be the boss.

If you doubt what I am saying, you are probably halllucinating.

To enstate comunism or marxism. They are playing It by the rulebook.

“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better.

When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity.

To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”

Better winning through buzzwords.

The plan must be that our adversaries will laugh themselves to death.

Mind war has been underway since before most of us were born. Now it has flowered into full-spectrum psychological non-stop assault. In this mind war there are no set piece battles with interludes between battles for recuperation. This war is relentless and ceaseless; every moment of every day is a continuation of attack. Like a water drip eroding stone.

We are adapting to it, because that is what humans do.

The real threat, as they see it, is potential rebellion against the elites.

#10 Read William Sargant’s “Battle for the Mind”, mainly about communist “brainwashing, indoctrination and propaganda”, 1950’s.

Then my late friend Ed Hunter’s “Brainwashing in Red China”.

Good primers on psychological warfare.

The report emphasized that Western militaries must work more closely with academia to weaponize social sciences and human sciences.

The study described this phenomenon as “the militarization of brain science.”

This weaponization of neuroS/T can and will be fatal, the NATO-sponsored study was clear to point out.

The research can “be utilised to mitigate aggression and foster cognitions and emotions of affiliation or passivity; induce morbidity, disability or suffering; and ‘neutralise’ potential opponents or incur mortality” – in other words, to maim and kill people.

The easiest parts of the brain to manipulate are the basic life function & emotional ones. First, go after the pineal (keeping kids up all night on their phones).

The loop’s second “O” – Orientation – subsumes each of its other points. Getting orientation wrong, no matter how well an actor can Observe, how quickly they can Decide, and how concisely they can Act, can nonetheless mean the actor is caught playing the wrong game. It centrality is made patently clear for anyone who actually reads John Boyd.

The cognitive battlespace is a war for information as it is transformed into knowledge via the processes of cognition

Wars turn on the ability to make good judgments, to reason.

Gen. Stewart observed, “Simply put, it is to know what to do and when to do it. And if your decision-making cycle is disrupted, or your cognitive ability is degraded, then you are not able to win or fight effectively.”
