Is Society Being Manipulated The Path To Destruction

If what I'm talking about is real, then it's very important for us all to recognize what is happening. Because if we can't recognize what's happening, then we can't accept it. If we can't accept it, then we can't change it. And right now we need to recognize, accept, and change before things get too far down the pike. The biggest thing we have to worry about is this path to destruction. And it's an arc. And it happens the same way every time. It doesn't matter if you're talking about Hitler and the Jews, it doesn't matter if you're talking about Stalin and the Ukrainians, it doesn't matter if you're talking about Andrew Jackson and the indigenous peoples of America, Pol Pot, Mao Tse Tung, it doesn't matter. It's always the same. And it starts from polarization. From polarization, you go to tribalization. From tribalization, you go to dehumanization. And after dehumanization, the only thing that comes is killing. Look around you. How many of you are polarized? How many people do you know that are polarized in their thinking? We're going into the midterms, we're gonna be coming out of the midterms. You're gonna see more and more polarization. Polarization is the manufactured sense of life and death. It literally is created so you bypass your critical thinking and start using your amygdala. Start using the part of your brain that says, hey, I'm scared, fight or flight. From that point, you move into tribalization. And these are all techniques. This is all doctrine. This is not new. This has been going on a long, long time. From polarization, you go to tribalization. How many of you have seen people move either from one town to another, from one state to another, from one job to another to be around people more like them? Or maybe they lost their job because the people at that job, the people who were running things didn't think that you were quite the right fit anymore because of what they perceived as your political stance on things. What they perceived as your stance on things that are happening currently. Maybe it was the COVID pandemic. Maybe it was something else. Maybe it was your race. Maybe it was your gender. Then you moved or you got moved. That's all part of tribalization. Now, after that tribalization phase, what happens next is dehumanization. That means I've got my tribe, they've got more, their tribe, my tribe is right, their tribe is wrong. And because their tribe is wrong, maybe they're so wrong, they don't deserve to exist anymore. They're dehumanized. Well, from that point, the only thing left is killing. And this is the path wrong. We're going through this path of polarization, tribalization, dehumanization. And we don't want to get to that part that is killing. This is what's happening, not just in our country, not just in your city, not just in your state, but it's happening in other countries, in other neighborhoods, with other families. How many family members have you lost? How many friends have you lost? Or how many of you cut loose because of what you thought they believed? These are the things that are happening. And we've got to take a look at it. First, we have to be aware. So I'm encouraging everybody to take just a little bit of time and go look up irregular warfare. Go look up hybrid warfare. Go look up unrestricted warfare and understand that all of this, though they have different names and they might be a little bit different, they're very similar. The people involved in the things of each one of these things all fit under the umbrella of fifth-generation warfare. Patty, thanks for giving me this time just to spit it out there real quick. I hope people are, we've got something to bite on now and get some Q&A, get some questions between you and I, and hopefully I'll be able to be smart enough and not screw anything up and give you some answers. Boone, so what made you start thinking about all of this, first of all? Because I know you and I have had a few conversations, especially leading up to the elections and how crazy, like you said, crazy town. I love that. And how did you think about putting all of this together to start doing some podcasts? And then you're also gonna tell us about something else you've been working on. Well, quite honestly, I'm scared. I'm legitimately scared and I'm scared for myself. I'm scared for my friends. I'm scared for my family. I'm scared for my neighbors. I'm scared for my country because everybody's having the same conversation but they don't know what to call it. They don't know where to point the finger and say, okay, it's this thing. They just have a gut feeling that says there's something wrong. And I feel like I'm being manipulated but they don't know where to put the blame. And this is an issue because instead of blaming what should be blamed, we're blaming each other. And that's all kinds of bad. That is all kinds of bad on all kinds of levels because this is not random and it's not ambiguous but it's made to look random and ambiguous. It's very intentional. It's doctrine. There are manuals written on how to do this stuff for a reason. And these manuals have been around for a long time. They belong in the military or they belong in certain government agencies that are well-trained about with how to do these things. And it's not just our country that knows how to do it. It's other countries who know how to do it. So what started all this, and not only was I having this conversation with people that literally I run into sitting in line at a restaurant waiting for an airplane. It's happening everywhere. And it's scary because then once you talk to people and you say, hey, just do me a favor and look up these three things and understand they fall under this umbrella and I'll see people do it. They'll get on their phone. They'll look it up real quick. And they'll be like, hey, thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. You're right. You're absolutely right. Oh my gosh, I can't believe this is going on. And then that makes them inquisitive to, okay, who's pulling the strings? Because the scary, scary, scary, scary part is right now, there's always an in-group out-group and us and them dynamic that happens because we're humans. And in the book I'm getting ready to tell you about, it's actually a guide, the Citizens Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare, which is soon to be released, is going presale. And it explains all this stuff. It explains state actors, non-state actors, what those three different types of warfare are all about and who's doing it and who the enemy is. But at the end of the day, we're not each other's enemy. Your neighbor is not your enemy. The parent you see down at your school when you pick up your kids, they're not the enemy. The enemy is the people who are doing the manipulation because they're doing it on purpose. They're going to drive a wedge in between us to degrade our country. And they're degrading every country for a reason. And we have to start recognizing, we have to be adults about this thing and go, okay, wait, let me step away from my own polarization, my own junk, and realize that, hey, maybe I am susceptible to certain things and be honest about that because we are susceptible. Like I can tell you as a US Army Psi-Oper, everybody out there has a susceptibility. Everybody out there has a button to push. Everybody out there has a trigger that you can make go off and cause a reaction, cause a response. And once you start changing attitudes, then you start changing behavior. Once you start changing behavior, now you start modifying, you start manipulating what people do and what they don't do. This is psychological operations. Like I said, in all those other generations of war, it was an ancillary item, but now it is the main effort. And if you don't understand your own self, your own family, you're not going to be able to pull this back. So I guess the long answer to what I said, why did I start this? Because I'm afraid, because I see this happening everywhere. And people who do what I've done and people who have been in those types of environments, they're scared too. And we all see the same thing. And so I decided to co-author a book called The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare to raise that awareness so we can begin to take action. You know, it's funny around March of this year when everything was going on with Ukraine, I started doing my own research without talking to you. I probably should have talked to you first, but I started doing some research about different propaganda that's happened since before World War I and it's mind blowing. And I noticed a pattern too with that. I mean, have you looked into that? I'm sure you must have. Yeah, there's always a pattern, you know, there's a recruitment pattern and there's a pattern to demonize. You have to have an in-group out-group. You have to have an us versus them. It's the motivations to get people to do things. And you probably saw that pattern in what you looked at. Yeah, there was definitely, I mean, there was a pattern. First of all, it was like the food crisis. There's always a lack of food. There's, and that's a scare tactic, right? Yeah, right. You're manipulating conditions to make people more vulnerable. You're manipulating conditions. And you're seeing that now. You're seeing the breakdown of food chains. You're seeing the supply chains. Gas.
