"I was a sergeant in PsyOps. He was a general in intel. Together we became a pretty good team." Boone explains how the Citizen's Guide to 5GW started — Flynn and him standing in a hallway, realizing their two audiences were experiencing the same manipulation and didn't know it. The manuals aren't opinions — they're doctrine and technique, TRADOC for civilians. "There is nothing like that on this side of the wire."

That's where we're at with it, you know, and the Citizens Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare is a series and their military style manuals written for civilians. And the way the whole thing got started is from my background, you know, I'm my background is a very eye to eye level, you know, operations with psychological operations. strategically, tactically, and General Flynn, you know, I mean, I was a sergeant in the army, but he was a general in intel. So we took both of our skills. You know, how do I communicate on a face-to-face level and explain things, and how does he augment that from his, you know, 50,000 foot view? So together we've become a pretty good team on being able to train people and write these manuals. And the manuals aren't about opinions, they're not about our feelings, they're not about what we think, they're truly based on doctrine. Everything is doctrine and technique. If you go through chapter one, it's important terms you should know and remember. They're just definitions. But they're definitions of things that people aren't talking about, but they need to know about. And they need to know the definition. Because people throw around terms all the time. And they don't always use the same definitions for the terms they're throwing around. So this gets everybody kind of on the same sheet of music. And if anybody wants to know how this thing got started, General Flynn and I were literally standing in a hallway. And he says, man, you know, I come off stage. He's doing the Reawakened tours. His primary audience is evangelicals, you know, America First crowd. My primary audience at that time that I was speaking to was the veteran community, which is more diverse, you know? Sure. And so we start just kind of chit-chatting. It's like, wait a minute. How come this target audience is experiencing the same thing this target audience experience? And they don't know each other as experiencing it. And we started breaking it down, breaking it down, breaking it down. It's like, oh, man. This is where we're at. And then it was like, okay, well, what do we do about it? Well, in the military, or at least in the army, you have something called TRADOC, and there's training in doctrine. And that means no matter what course you're taking in the military, no matter what training you're going through, whether it's basic training, airborne school, sniper school, whatever, ranger school, they have a training in doctrine. From day one to the last day, you're being trained on something, and you have to exhibit that you have learned certain skills along the way to pass that course. Well, there is nothing like that. on what we call this side of the wire. So how do we get people on the same sheet of music? Well, we need to become TRADOC. We need to become training in doctrine and put out the information in such a way that people can look at it and understand the doctrine, not the opinion, not the polarized point of view, but what is doctrine, and then apply it to their lives as they see it around them. And we're seeing it. Now, I guess a lot of people maybe not even understanding that we are at war. If you don't even know we're at war, you're just kind of sitting there unaware of kind of what's going on around you. But once you have the information, then it's like, okay, now I can make a difference during this time because I'm aware that something's actually happening. These are compelling. If somebody gave this to a college student and just said, hey, you know, check this out. If you start a page or two, you're going to burn through this, and it's a quick read. But it's intriguing because you learn what's going on.
