What we have is a lot of conspiracy theories and “identity politics” that seem to have the goal of dividing the public and sowing mistrust. What I’m noticing is that we are operating in this miasma of disinformation and something that feels a bit like I imagine a psyops campaign would feel.
Now while all of this is distracting people, we have a great deal of change happening with privacy eroding at an alarming rate, a huge disruption going on in the workplace, an open Southern border, and a Congress/Senate that is hopelessly behind the times on digital security, among many other issues. The parties have been so divided that any attempt in DC to cooperate enough to get much of anything done since before the housing bubble popped fails (2006?), so yeah, whats broke stays broke, and here we are…
Trump tried to break the logjam and get us moving again in a non-stupid direction, and without a doubt he got the worst of whatever this is. The FBI named the campaign they pulled on him “Crossfire-Hurricane,” like a line from the song “Jumping Jack Flash.
So yeah, we have a fight on our hands, but at the moment we can only guess who the other players are, and shooting while blindfolded is not a way to clarify the situation.

It’s like two opposing sides put “pandemic” in their war-gaming computers and used artificial intelligence to map out the steps and stages to get to a desired political and cultural outcome.
We feel like rudderless ships getting buffeted about the ocean due to their constant pushing and pulling to get things back on or further down their planned track.
Things we see in the news don’t make sense because the real game is hidden from us, and we are constantly feed a diet of pablum, spin and lies.
