World War 3 has already begun. How the history books describe the
beginning will depend on how it ends.
April 27, 2017
World War 3 has already begun. How the history books describe the
beginning will depend on how it ends. How it ends will depend on how the public
reacts to the shockwaves to come. This cannot be predicted, but it can be
influenced.
Any time the ruling class gets an inkling that we the people might unify
on a higher ideal, join forces in the face of an existential threat (like the
prospect of thermonuclear war) you’ll always see them start sowing the seeds of
division, triggering artificial group identities, pitting you against each
other over trivia.
Once in play, the temptation to join a side is overwhelming, and very
few resist.
Divide and conquer is an applied science. They know exactly how to ring
your bell, and they’ll go out of their way to promote any narrative that adds
to the hate.
If they succeed, the result is always the same. Resistance is
dissipated, drowned out by the roar of petty squabbles, while war machine
advances. This is our first enemy, and it must be attacked head on.
The path to war is always paved with crowd psychology. Those who don’t
understand this science, are easy to manipulate. Activists who ignore, or who
are fail to work within its laws, are rendered ineffective, or worse, utilized
as pawns.
They don’t teach you about this stuff in school (for obvious reasons).
This is the science of power, the psychology of control. An informed populous
would recognize their tactics, neutralizing the effect. They would also have
the tools to strike back, turn the tables, and fundamentally restructure the
system. The status quo would be destroyed.
The stakes are far too high to play it safe now, and we don’t have much
time, so we’re going to break this down from the, 30,000 foot view.
The only way to stop a war, when you have a government which is fully in
the pocket of the military industrial complex, is to reach the mind behind the
trigger. Break the chain of obedience. A contingent of the police and military
must turn.
This is easier said than done, and most who try sabotage themselves in
the first few words. They fail to understand the group identities they are
working with.
Soldiers are conditioned to obey. They are regimented using extremely
efficient authority and conformity structures, and have a very strong, and
inflexible group identity (if you don’t know what I’m referring to here talk to
a Marine). They are typically the last element of society to
flirt with disobedience or insurrection. They only turn if a large enough
civilian contingent that they identify with pressures them to.
In the United States, military personnel overwhelmingly identify
as conservative. Therefore U.S. soldiers would only consider disobeying a
direct order, or pointing their guns in a different direction if enough
conservatives turn, and only if the call to turn is delivered in language that
they resonate with.
You could field a crowd of 20 million progressives and it wouldn’t even
register. The conservative world view frames the left as the out-group (just
like the left views them), and any message that is can be framed as coming from
the enemy camp is automatically rejected out of hand.
Conservatives tend to be older, more established, with little appetite
for catastrophic change, and right now the man they voted for is in power.
The spark insurrection almost always begin with people who are young
enough to still have hope, and crazy enough to actually do something about it.
This demographic also tends to lean left.
To further complicate matters these two group identities have grown
farther and farther apart in recent years, and have even diverged
linguistically.
The only way to inspire a break in the chain of obedience is to build a
coalition that is able to work with, and ultimately steal market share from
both of these identities, galvanizing them in opposition to a common threat
(like thermonuclear war), and defining an identity against a new out-group, the
madmen and useful idiots pulling us towards it (aka the neoliberal, neocon
corporate alliance).
“You mean I’d have to cozy up with a bunch of leftist loon tards?”
“Ewwww… I don’t even want to be in a room with these mysoginist
biggots.”
We get it. You hate each other. “They” are not us. They’re the
out-group. They’re a hostile tribe that you’re being forced to share a
territory with.
But then something horrific happens. An event that sends shockwaves
through the culture. Leaving deep psychological scars.
At that moment petty disagreements will be set aside. The political and
media establishment will rally the masses towards their “solution”: war.
You might hate each other now, but in times of war you’ll unify behind a
flag. The out-group will be redefined in geopolitical terms, and most will fall
for it.
A new found sense of patriotism will wash over the nation, like alcohol
to cover the fear, and the executive will be elevated to god like status. Daddy
is going to take care of you now. All you have to do is obey.
Bottom of Form
And then, laws like the Patriot Act, and the NDAA, on the books for
years, but never fully implemented, will suddenly become terrifyingly relevant.
There will be absolutely no restraints on power.
In such times group identity can be reshaped, rendered more obedient.
Those who speak out will be branded un-American, or worse. Exposing government
lies will become an act of treason. Examples will be made to set the tone. The
rest will either cower in submission, or flee, and we’ll all be reminded of the
saying “War is the health of the state.”
If they win… then they get to reset the system, wipe 20 trillion dollars
of debt off the board, blame the collapsing stock bond and derrivative bubbles
on external boogie man, and have a controlling stake in the next global
financial system.
But this isn’t going to go according to plan and once a certain line is
crossed there will be know “undo” option.
Wouldn’t it be better to come to terms with the stakes (as terrifying as
they may be) and unify ourselves on something worthwhile, a common ground that
any sane human being can agree on rather than let them have their way with us?
Could we agree to unify just long enough to stop world war 3? Could we NOT
learn this lesson the hard way.
A lot of you have already been feeling scared. These emotions are
normal, and as the show progresses you’ll have more and more company, but it’s
not going to help us here.
When afraid,
our brains work much less efficiently. The
rational, introspective areas shut down and decisions are reduced to fight,
flight or freeze. Those in power always take advantage of this principle and
use it to herd the population towards their goal.
Rather than join the stampede, take a deep breath. Reflect on the
inevitability of death. Let go. Look at the big picture: the world we’re
leaving for our children, grand children and beyond.
We have to do something, and it’s not the thought that counts. Results
matter. They really, really matter.
But how can we reach the mind behind the trigger when we’re up against
the most sophisticated propaganda apparatus human kind has ever faced?
We don’t have multi-million dollar budgets, or the infrastructure and staff
that such money can buy. Most of us are stretched to the limit, struggling to
keep our heads above water. We don’t have the means of setting up a large
centralized organization capable of challenging the machine on its own terms.
And even if we did, such an such an approach wouldn’t work. The house always
wins.
When the odds are stacked against us, and failure is not an option, we
must formulate an asymmetrical response.
As strong as the enemy may seem, the establishment has a vulnerability.
In fact they have an entire web of vulnerabilities. The official narratives on
a whole host of serious issues, foreign and domestic are built on deliberate
and orchestrated lies; lies that cover crimes so horrific, that most of the
population couldn’t even fathom the possibility.
Many of these lies can be debunked by using publicly available evidence,
and this is an essential part of the battle, but at this stage of the game
that’s not going to be enough. The floodgates need to be opened.
Here we have to walk a very fine line. Some of what needs to be done
will be dangerous. Some will straddle thin lines of legality or cross it
explicitly. It’s not up to me, or anyone else to tell you how to handle that
line. Each of us must chose our level of involvement. However as this situation
progresses there will come a moment when it becomes clear that risks must be
taken, sacrifices must be made, the laws of man superseded by a higher mandate.
OPEN MESSAGE TO THE ALPHABET SOUP (FBI, CIA, NSA ETC…)
Some of you listening are positioned deep within the machine. You work
among the gears. You have access to tools, and documents that the public
doesn’t know about and you could get deeper access if you really tried.
For some of you, monitoring this message might be part of your job description
right now. Alphabet Soup. I’m going to speak to you directly here.
You and I both know why Trump flipped. We all know Trump isn’t running
the show. He’s dirty, and somebody got the goods on him. Dark stuff. The kind
of dirt that guarantees obedience. Blackmail.
The nature of the flip makes it clear where the hand pulling the string
resides: in the upper echelons of the United States neoliberal, neocon,
corporate establishment. The people you work for. Let’s not feign naiveté.
Follow the money. Trace the connections, phone logs, emails, campaign
contributions, hush money. If you put your mind to it you’ll find evidence that
involves senators, congressmen, top level brass, banking and the who’s who of
the military industrial complex. Craven degenerates operating with impunity,
totally compromised, totally controlled by the same people you currently work
for.
Blackmail is a crime, and in a case like this, it denies the victims
justice. Blackmail against a sitting president is also high treason, and to use
that leverage to start a wars of aggression, a crime against humanity. The
people behind this would hang in a fair tribunal. And maybe someday they will.
The circus tent is coming down. The rot runs deep, permeating the core
of the system. These are the dying breaths of a nation.
DID THIS MAKE YOUR BRAIN ITCH?
It’s time to decide which side of history you’re going to be on.
It’s time to hold yourself accountable (in action or inaction).
The “Just following orders” defense doesn’t have the best track record.
This isn’t about Trump. This is about the .0001% that really call the
shots. Trump is expendable. At some point, he’s going down. The real
establishment will install another puppet and they’ll still get their war; the
great destruction, the reset.
Unless of course, you do something big: strike deep, strike in a way
that slows down the agenda, discredits their war mongering lies, knocks them
off balance, and buys humanity some time.
OPEN MESSAGE TO THE 99.999%
Now I’m going to speak to the civilian population of all nations. With
the exception of those among us who are clever with the locks and keys that
keep this kind of information out of sight (digital outlaws and hacktivists),
most of you don’t have access to the innards of the machine, and never will.
You do however have access to people, and in the end that’s what this will come
down to.
To maximize impact study the principles of group psychology; Gustave Le
Bon, Edward Bernays, The Psychology of Power. This weapon has been used against
us for centuries. Time to pick it up and return fire.
Pressure must come from all sides.
To stop this war, you will need to study the world view of both the left
and the right. You must to internalize their narratives, learn to navigate the
wedge issues, identities, images tied to words, towards an urgent awareness of
common threat: thermonuclear war.
This is not easy. We have to learn to distance ourselves emotionally
from issues that distract. Discipline ourselves to avoid the trap of pointless
arguments that will never be resolved.
We must choose battles that can be won, and win them by
sending more and bigger bullets down range while adjusting fire, not by
obsessing over how each volley lands.
Some of you are going to want specific instructions. Steps 1, 2, 3 and
4. Some of you are waiting for someone else to lead.
What we need right now (and will need even more in times ahead) are
decentralized nodes of leadership operating independently, creatively, with the
skills and resources they have, coordinating, amplifying, with other groups.
Seek those willing to commit to a simple, self evident moral stance: No
wars of aggression (covert, conventional, economic or nuclear), regardless of
who is in office. No supporting such wars in word, silence, action or inaction.
This is a line worth dividing on and an anchor worth unifying on, identifying
with.
Don’t know how to find such people? Start by speaking out. All it takes
is one voice to break the conformity principle, to expose the fact that the
emperor wears no clothes. Someone else might find their courage because of you.
Once you start taking action you’ll start meeting others who are already
in the trenches; people with experience and skills you lack, perspectives that
clarify things further. Now you can coordinate, synchronize, and amplify.
You’ll also make new friends, and the group might become more than a means to
an end.
BEYOND FEAR
Finally we must address the elephant in the room here: fear. The danger
of a global escalation is real. Sugar coating it won’t help. Narratives which
put heads in the sand definitely have a market.
The question isn’t so much whether your hands will shake, the question
is whether you will find the courage to do what needs to be done anyway.
Again, it helps to reflect on the inevitability of death. None of us
will be here in 200 years. Look at the big picture: the world we’re leaving for
the next generation.
It can also help to plug in to something bigger than ourselves. Pray,
meditate, connect to whatever you want to call it however you believe that you
should.
Struggling to decide what to do? Unsure of the right path? Go to the
source, and ask like you mean it. Put all that emotion you have pent up in your
chest into it. This doesn’t have to be quiet, sitting down, formal, or planned.
It can be through dance, music, or even just tears.
When your
brain is operating at this frequency ideas often
arrive out of the blue. Good ideas, And now your emotions are calm. Everything
comes into focus. You see a step you could take now; a simple goal that you
know you can accomplish, and you’re not afraid to start. In fact you’re
excited. This isn’t just something worth dying for, this is something worth
living for. Follow that feeling. Take action before it slips away.
