5th Gen Warfare How Ideology Is Weaponized Against You

It's not just goods and services. They do this with ideology. So people are having conversations. They're picking up the sentiment of that ideology. So what do they do? They start counter-narrative, counter-narrative, counter-narrative, demonization, or some sort of manipulation. If they can do it with products and services, they can do it with other things too. And you know they can do it with products and services because you've seen it. Everything is weaponized until something better can be weaponized. This is the best thing to weaponize right now. And this is the fifth generation. Fifth generation warfare. And we're in it every single day. Every single day. Talk about, I heard you describe one time that you could have a politician that kind of thinks, oh, this is what people want because there's three or four people that are knocking on his door. Yep. And you can begin to shift that narrative in his mind because he thinks that is, that's the deal. We have a lot of people that represent us. Remember, influence the influencer that influences you. In the past, it would have to be a situation where you would physically put somebody, you know, like somebody's chauffeur, you know, somebody's aide, somebody's secretary. And that person would have certain ideological perspectives that they would kind of filter into conversations. And then that would influence somebody who could be that influencer. Well, in today's world, you just need to influence the people that are already in their life. If I want to get to you, I'm going to get to your family members. I'm going to saturate them with a message so your family members saturate you because they are your trusted source. That's happening at the exact same time. We're now, we went from energy independent to energy dependent. And it almost seems like an intentional collapse of our own economy. Of the dollar itself, the things that have kind of kept us up with the petrodollar have gone away. Well, how do we protect ourselves from that? Well, again, our philosophy is, and you're in an area that's not your area of expertise, go with someone who knows what they're doing. For 25 years, we've had a friend named Kirk Elliott. He has two. Two PhDs. Not one, but two PhDs. PhDs in this topic, and he spent his life studying this exact thing. How do central banks work? How does inflation work? How do they calculate the cost of things in a shopping cart to determine what inflation is? How do they manipulate those numbers? How do they change it from a steak to hamburger to make it look like things are going along just fine? You can feel it when you go to buy and they say, well, the inflation is only this amount. Well, there's a reason why the current president used the term Bidenomics over 100 times between September and November of 23. In the last month, he's used it zero times. He's not using that number because the economy is not doing well. But just because it's snowing outside, just because there's a blizzard doesn't mean that you have to freeze to death. I have to freeze to death. Our children and family members have to freeze to death. You just make better choices. You wear a coat. You adapt to what's going on around you.
