TR 675 - Beware of the Snare (Part 1): The Next Massive Psyop has Now Been Deployed

What's counter-intuitive to the counter-intuitive?

It’s interesting.

Actually, it’s absolutely fascinating, at least to me, to watch the mind-bending unfold in real-time. Just yesterday, I was enjoying a conversation with an adept individual who did a masterful job of pointing out many of the great ironies of our time:

  • Liberals declaring that free speech is a “free-for-all hellscape,” that it was “weaponized free speech” that caused the holocaust.

  • Liberals demanding more funding for more war, essentially signing a death warrant for millions more Ukrainian and Russian young men.

  • Liberals stomping their feet, protesting, and doing everything they can to stop the gross degrees of government waste, fraud, and corruption from coming to light.

The list could go on, but the point is easily made: every position being taken right now appears to be precisely backwards to everything liberalism used to stand for.

Conservatives beware.

It’s always easier to point out flaws in someone else’s thinking, than it is to examine and identify potential flaws in our own. It’s just a human thing we must acknowledge.

In reality, there are a great many people who will never examine their own thinking, because they lack the maturity and awareness to do so. We might make a generous assumption and say that perhaps 80% of the population lacks the requisite faculty and inclination to thoroughly question themselves, leaving roughly 20% of people who at least have the capacity—though whether they use it or not is another question.

From the angle of psychological warfare (aka psyops), the 80% are basically sitting ducks; they are low-hanging fruit that are easy to pick off and push into accepting any given narrative. Again, I’m being generous here.

Considering the effectiveness of the COVID-19 psyop, it would appear the percentage of people susceptible to being ensnared in abject insanity is well over 90%.

Thus, for those perpetrating the psyops, their target audience would be the 10-20% of people who, in theory, might have the wherewithal to remain independent and critical, as opposed to being assimilated into whatever narrative is being pushed.

In other words, some minds are more resistant to military-grade memes than others. Remember that in the context of memetic warfare, DARPA and the Deep State have the ability to create memes that guarantee the propagation of an idea—but saying that for the umpteenth time today, another angle of reflection emerges.

Properly understood, scientifically speaking, a meme is a “quantum of information.” With that fresh in mind, it’s this little tidbit of information that gives rise to the infectious ideas that then, quite predictably, spread throughout the population.

First comes the info, then comes the idea.

That’s critical, and it’s easy to grasp by imaging yourself going for a walk in the woods. As you are walking along, your mind wanders this way and that, thinking about everything and nothing all at the same time. Think of this as unstructured thought, it’s just the mind doing what the mind does, endlessly.

All at once you smell something. It’s a sweet smelling flower. As you continue walking, the scent grows stronger, and you begin to hear the loud buzzing of honey bees—but you still can’t see the bees or blossoms that they are buzzing on.

Your mind now has a quantum of information, the scent and the sounds, other sensory inputs, and an unfathomable number of mental constructs (cumulated through life experience, education, etc.) that it uses to generate ideas.

The mind uses these ideas to form a story.

There’s a cracking of a branch in the woods up ahead and your heart starts to pound. You remember stories about how bears like honey, and all at once you know you’re not alone. Your nice idea about taking a picture of the fuzzy bees harvesting beautiful blooms immediately gets scrapped.

Now you’re thinking about finding a sharp stick and a tree to climb.

Your mind is racing as you break off a dead branch and climb a nearby tree. You might begin thinking about living to tell the heroic tale of how you defended yourself against the ferocious bear, when all at once, there’s new information.

From your perch in the tree, you see a fellow nature lover down below, some 20 yards away, crashing through the brush with a camera, trying to get a good shot of the beautiful blossoms on a wild lilac tree, buzzing with bees. There is no bear in sight.

Startled by the sound of you climbing a tree, they look up and shout, “Well hey there, I didn’t expect to see anyone else out here! What are you doing in that tree?” Relieved and slightly embarrassed, your mind spins up a story: “Oh, yeah, I could smell the lilacs and heard the bees, and I thought I’d get a great aerial shot from up here!”

Such are the wiles of the mind.

Moral of the story: first comes the info, then comes the ideas, and a self-justifying story always ensues.

Let’s zoom out.

Informational warfare works by hijacking these built-in mechanisms of the mind. The truth is, we are all susceptible. We are hardwired to process information and create stories that help us make sense of things. It’s the intentional usurpation of this process, wherein the powers that be or some other external force aims to “make sense of things” for us, that we must remain constantly aware of.

How can liberals have been so easily duped into defending and advocating for positions that run entirely contrary to everything that liberals used to stand for?

They were fed new information. This new information came with new suggestions that planted the seeds of new ideas, which then gave rise to new stories that ultimately justify their complete flip-flop and abandonment of prior convictions.

Like I said at the outset: conservatives beware.

There is new information being circulated through patriotic circles, new suggestions making the rounds, that are meant to give rise to new ideas about what’s happening right now. There is a new story being spun up, and I believe, personally, that this new spin is little more than a massive psyop meant to divide the liberty movement.

The gist is this: Donald Trump and Elon Musk are paving the way for a new technocratic, global digital governance that will ultimately enslave us all.

Some of that should sound familiar, if you have been with me, because I’ve been calling out this nefarious push towards global digital governance for years, pointing out that the path to this techno-dystopian hell (Future Earth) is paved with good intentions.

The twist in this story, is that it’s Trump and Musk who are ushering this in, and that it’s patriotic Americans who have been duped into cheering them on.

I don’t buy it, but the narrative has been so meticulously crafted, it must be addressed head on. I was introduced to this narrative when a good friend shared a pair of articles written by Erik Wikstrom, linked here:

Both pieces are well-written and rather lengthy, giving them a feel of thorough thinking that threads in many assumptions that instantly appeal to patriots. This type of intentional disarming is common in psychological warfare.

Consider the opening paragraph of the first piece:

“I invite you to temporarily set aside your preconceptions about how the world works. I know this may run counter to everything you believe, everything you think you know about what's happening in our world. The truth goes much deeper than the surface-level chaos we see in the headlines. I sincerely hope I'm wrong about this analysis – in fact, I pray that I am. But if I'm even partially correct, we are witnessing one of the most sophisticated power grabs in human history.”

Temporarily set aside your preconceptions—not a bad idea!

This may run counter to everything you believe, everything you think you know about what’s happening in “our world”—sure, question everything, right? That’s a solid precept, but note how this phrase is intended to introduce doubt about what you think about our world.

This is a positioning statement meant to assert dominance in the narrative.

The truth goes much deeper than the “surface-level chaos” we see in the headlines—no shit Sherlock, thanks for stating the obvious, but why? Why state the obvious? First, to build rapport and indicate we’re on the same team by emphasizing a common refrain in patriotic circles. Second, to prime the truth seeking instinct of hardcore skeptics. The phrase “the truth runs much deeper” is like catnip for a lot of people.

Immediately upon reading the headline, “How Trump, Elon are paving the way for a Brave New World,” many people in the MAGA movement would immediately tune out and dismiss the story—but not all.

That’s not who this article is meant for.

This article is targeting the 10% with new information and suggestions meant to change their perspective on what’s going on. Rather than cheering for what Trump and Musk are doing, readers are being groomed to flip the narrative.

Line by line, a truth is stated, followed by false premise.

  • “The technological infrastructure required for total control has finally matured. Artificial Intelligence has reached the sophistication necessary for algorithmic governance. The social and political chaos we're experiencing isn't random – it's orchestrated to create the perfect conditions for this transition.” —TRUE.

The next line:

  • “Consider this: Elon Musk alone controls enough wealth to simultaneously fund eight Manhattan Projects, maintain a private army of 100,000 elite mercenaries for a decade, or fund the entire United Nations for 14 years. But this isn't about money – it's about power. The tech elite already have more wealth than they could spend in multiple lifetimes. What they're pursuing is something far more ambitious: total control over society's future development.” —FALSE PREMISE.

There are a lot of psychological tells in that paragraph: controlling wealth, Manhattan Projects, private mercenaries, all presuppositionally bad from a socialist perspective, and the could-be-used-for-good suggestion of funding the UN for 14 years—but instead “this isn’t about money, it’s about power.”

By demonizing the “tech elite”—who are admittedly an easy target—the author is directing attention away from other global power players, say like the UN, WEF, WHO, IMF, World Bank, Bilderberg, Davos, Rothchilds, Soros, and so on.

Claiming that the tech elite in general, and implicating Elon Musk in particular, as pursuing “something far more ambitious”—i.e. total control over society’s future—is a strawman argument. There is no mention of the global cabal and their ilk, or those who have been working to bring this Brave New World into existence for centuries.

Given the sophistication of the article, I do not believe that was by accident.

In fact, I’d like point to this profile pic to pique some curiousity as to where the author’s allegiance may ultimately lie. Note the symbol within the symbol:

The circle-triangle-square-circle is a powerful symbol known as the Philosopher’s Stone, which has many different interpretations and applications, many of which lie firmly in occult practices, but I’m not chasing that rabbit here today.


Say’s the author:

“The genius of their strategy lies in its complexity. Like a masterfully played chess game, every move serves multiple purposes. What appears as chaos is actually a precisely choreographed sequence of events. What looks like resistance is often part of the plan. Even this analysis, should it reach a wider audience, would likely be dismissed as paranoid speculation – which is exactly what makes the strategy so effective.”

Hook, line, and sinker.

Their genius lies in their strategies, which are so complex, no mortal peasant can comprehend—except the iniates.

It’s like a masterfully played chess game and every move has multiple purposes—but how many people identify as chess masters? How many people think that many moves ahead? Clearly you need someone to do your thinking for you!

What looks like resistance is “often” part of the plan.

I want to emphasize the word “often,” because is softens the statement and makes it more palatable. Staking out some assumptions here, let’s assume that the MAGA movement is the populist resistance to the tyrannical top-down control of a bloated and corrupt federal bureaucracy. What “looks” like resistance—the MAGA crowd turning out in the millions to elect Donald Trump—is actually a calculated part of the chessmasters’ strategy.

I actually do not dimiss that possibility—however, what I do reject, is leaping to the conclusion that those who believe Trump and Musk are exposing corruption, are actually being bamboozled into supporting the “tech elites” plan for total control.

Wikstrom does a good job of outlining many of the patterns at play. He calls out the Hegelian dialectic of problem, reaction, solution. He rightly identifies weaponized AI as being the game changer in the ongoing power struggle for total global control.

His writing is smooth and coherent, even seductive.

He then goes on to expose the so-called “Hidden Pattern.”

“We're witnessing more than a political realignment or technological revolution. This is a fundamental restructuring of society – a transformation that uses our legitimate frustrations with failing systems to implement something far more controlling.

To understand how this transformation operates in practice, we need to examine its most visible manifestation: the carefully orchestrated performance centered around Donald Trump...

“A figure so improbable, so controversial, so seemingly chaotic that no one could suspect his role was precisely choreographed.”

The perfect pawn?

The author goes on (and on, and on, and on—more on that in a minute):

“Like a masterful illusion, the audience focused so intently on the obvious conflict that they missed the real transformation occurring backstage. While everyone watched Trump versus the "deep state," in the shadows, the real players methodically positioned themselves to assume control of society's fundamental functions.”

I agree with this statement. I believe it is true.

That said, I disagree, strongly, with the suggestion and conclusion that “the real players” are the Silicon Valley elites (i.e. Musk). It’s not that I’d deny many of the tech elite are vile criminals and Marxist sociopaths, it’s just that there are much bigger fish in the sea. These ambitious upstarts have nothing on the global influence and power of secret societies, global bankers, Black Nobility, old school aristocracy, etc.

Who’s using who, here, do you think?

Consider the author’s conclusion:

“Behind the money and influence flowing into the Trump campaign lies a set of radical beliefs and a dark agenda. …Elon Musk and his growing empire represented the visible spearhead of this movement.”

Can you see the narrative? Donald Trump won because of the dark money flowing out from the tech elites. Elon Musk is just the tip of the spear—and they’re using Donald Trump and his administration like pawns on a chessboard in order to advance their own dark agenda, all the while American patriots are too stupid to realize they are cheering for their own demise.

The essay goes on and on, like I was saying, which is actually a sales tactic. It covers objections from every angle, and gives a compelling closing pitch by exalting the “hidden philosopher” that no one’s heard of, as the real evil genius.

You see, DOGE was actually formed to implement RAGE and advance the tech elites master plan. They’ve got a blueprint, a strategic network, an accelerated timeline, and the perfect defense. The peasants think they are saving democracy, while they’re actually trying to destroy democracy and build a new corporate state.

You know, fascism. It’s always fascism, isn’t it?

What a coincidence that this is the ultimate boogeyman, right?

Anyway, I’m already long, so I’m going to save Part II for tomorrow. Until then, stay skeptical, question everything, and remember: RESIST WE MUST!!
