5th Gen Warfare How Youre Being Manipulated And How To Fight

I hope to have him back. I hope you enjoy this episode. And I think that's everything. So without further ado, Sergeant Boone Cutler. So Boone, part of the reason I wanted to speak with you today is because fifth generation warfare is a big part of what I talk about. And ultimately, I don't think people can really make healthy decisions if they're basically under constant attack, under constant influence campaigns, nudging their decisions when most of them don't even realize this is happening. And I have your books here. I have the first one, Fifth Generation Warfare that you wrote with General Michael Flynn. I have the second one on AI. I'm working on getting the third one, which I do want to talk to you about. And I have, I believe this is your first book, Call Sign Voodoo, is that right? Your first book? Yeah, Call Sign Voodoo was my first book that I authored actually during my tour in Iraq in 2005, 2006 in Sadr City. And it was finished one during my time at Walter Reed after I was medevacked out of Iraq. So I talk about the war and what that did, the soldier perspective, you know, very, very much on the ground, very visceral in that book. And and I'll say, you know, that was 2005, 2006. Some of my opinions have changed over time because more information has come out about about the whole situation. But I will say, as far as a soldier story goes, that's about as raw and as real as you're going to get. Yeah. Well, by the way, thank you for your service and everything you've done for our country. I do appreciate it. And I know my audience does, too. And well, with regard to Fifth Generation Warfare, I mean, there are so many questions I have, but maybe let's set the scene first, because I often hear Fifth Generation Warfare used the same as cognitive warfare. But if I understand it correctly, cognitive warfare is a component of fifth generation warfare, or am I not getting that exactly right? Now, you've got it right. But but each of the other components also has a cognitive effect. I mean, for instance, if you talk about political warfare, you talk about lawfare. Lawfare has a cognitive effect. As you're seeing now, you're seeing people like, for instance, J six. You're seeing the J six years they get rolled up. They're going through all this turmoil, going through all this trouble. What does that do as a cognitive effect to make people not want to assemble because they're afraid they would be in the same the same type of predicament? So even though, yes, cognitive warfare is a component part of the generation warfare, all the factors of the generation warfare operate in the in the cognitive battle space. Gotcha. And then so biological warfare might be a component of that, too, like fentanyl, for example. Well, the fentanyl issue, I wouldn't go into biological warfare so much with that is that I would go into more like network disruption. I would go into, you know, anything that breaks down the structure of a society and and absorbs resources and removes people out of productivity. That productive space tears up families, tears up culture. You know, that's part of fifth generation warfare. Absolutely. You see it. You see it happening, you know, with the fentanyl that's coming up from the south. You know, how many resources have been put into that? And it's not they're they're not putting resources at the border. It's it's taking county and city and state resources across the country to deal with and it's breaking up families. It's it's stopping work production. It's causing more health issues. It's causing death, you know, a tremendous amount of deaths, which causes more disruption. So it is like putting a biological agent inside of a country. This is true. But I would not consider it so much for the, you know, under the auspices of biological warfare or chemical warfare. I mean, but that is very relative. I mean, if I really kind of twist my mind around, I'm like, yeah, it kind of does fit, you know, but but it's to break down a society. And that's that's what it does. And the same has been done. I mean, there have been other countries that pushed a tremendous amount of, like, heroin into Iran because that was what was breaking down, you know, that that dogmatic structure of of the mullahs of religion, of the political theocracy of Islam, you pull them into the drug space and then that breaks them away from that structure. Well, this is a game that's that's gone on over and over again. And it's it's part of statecraft and everybody does it. And we just need to realize that's what it's about. You know, I think it's it's so important to learn about statecraft. And you get that that that comes in session three because people just don't know how much they are affected by the levers of power. You know, they don't understand how they're directly affected by statecraft, soft power, sharp power, hard power, all these different things that we talk about that certain people talk about. And certain people obviously have, you know, that's their life's work. So it's important to understand every American out there, every citizen of the world needs to understand that there's somebody out there pulling strings for the oppressive levers to change your world. And it's important to understand who these entities are. And it's important to understand what their objectives are when they do these things. And that's what all these books about. You know, I got to say, it's it's been very heartwarming for me to listen to people that are thankful for the fact that we've actually written military style manuals specifically for civilians. I mean, all the stuff that you would get compiled into military style, man, into military manuals for members of the military. You know, there's a reason there's a way those things are written. And there's there's an objective with each one of it. It's truly training, you know, and it's to reinforce training that you're getting in the, you know, that you're getting in direct contact with an instructor. Well, and then the follow up is the instructor teaches from the manual and then the manuals are available to the students. Can can follow on with their training and use it as a resource guide. So these and can give you more training. So this is kind of the thing. And this is where people have become very, very appreciative of the work General Flynn and I are doing because they're getting straight information. It's just straighter. There's there's nothing in there that is there to be selective, to sway you. It's like, hey, these are the facts. These are the things that are happening. This is how it affects people. This is the intention behind these things. And and here's some things that you can do to pull the power back on your side. So you're not affected by these entities that they conduct statecraft. Yeah. And I am such a fan of the books. And these are my perfect, my favorite type of book to read. As you said, it's it's informational. There's a lot in there that's very useful. And I'm definitely going to put show notes in the links or links in the show notes below for people to purchase. And if I'm not mistaken, I heard you say on another podcast that you prefer people buy through Barnes and Nobles. Is that still the case? Well, now I prefer people just buy through General Flynn dot com. OK, we've got a pretty good stockpile there. In the past, we didn't. So we were selling through these these other venues. And also, it's cheaper. You know, you go to General Flynn dot com, you're going to get it at a better rate. Matter of fact, I think there's a deal on there. You can get all three in the entire series for 80 dollars. If you tried to do that on Amazon, it would cost you 93 plus plus plus and plus. So, you know, it's it's a better value for everybody if you just buy it through General Flynn dot com. And yeah, I just and we want to get these in the people's hands. You know, I get really fed up with people out there when they're bullshit. You know, I see people all the time that don't do anything. I mean, they do nothing but bitch. They don't help anything. And and they really don't. And they're they're just disruptors and distractors. But at the end of the day, you know, we're trying to get these these things in the people's hands. It's not the easiest thing in the world. If you've ever sat down and tried to write a book, you'll see that it's a little bit like purgatory. Yeah, it's it's it's a lot of work.
