Master 5th Gen Warfare Dont Be Fooled By Provocation

Absolutely. In that conversation, you know, and towards the end of the book on the role of the church, as a matter of fact, I'll bring up the section so people know exactly what I'm talking about. This goes into chapter four and this is diagram four in chapter four. And it's the purpose of provocation. And it lists five things triggering an overreaction, shifting the conflict dynamics, diverting attention, testing enemy defenses and responses, and gaining attention and support. And the question that this kind of, I want you to tell us more about that to set up for the question ultimately that I have Boone is right now with all this, I think intentional misinformation and disinformation that's being put out there is how do we, you know, the citizen journalists, the podcasters, the digital soldiers, the Anons, how do you thread the needle on, all right, We got to defend this disinformation that's being put out there. How do you gauge wins too much and now you're being pulled off mission and you actually fell into the trap of a distraction? So if you blend all that together. Well, I think that first of all, the point of provocation, provocation is a tool used in fifth generation warfare because Okay, let's take you. You've got one group that provokes another group. They do that because they're the ones controlling the message. If you see yourself trying to get provoked or someone is provoking you, that's because they're going to capitalize on your response, your provoked response. And so you want to make sure that you don't set yourself up in those traps. And in session one, we talk a lot about gray zone funnels. That's a big deal with this stuff too. And guys, I would love to be able to give you the – I'd love to be able to go into this so deep, but here's the deal. It takes 45,000 words to explain to you guys how to fight artificial intelligence. Okay. I know that it takes 43,000 words to explain covert operations, covert influence, how that applies in the world, how it applies to the, you know, provocation and all those things. It takes 28,000 words to explain the intro to 5GW. So there's no way I can give this to you in a, in a meme format. You got to go look at the books, but it is compiled very well for you. It's easy to read, get through them each in a few hours. And they've got test questions at the end of each chapter. to kind of keep you oriented to what's going on. So I encourage everybody to do that. But also, don't be provoked. That's a fool's move. But it's also a really smart thing to do if you want to go offensive. And there's ways to do that. But now we're talking about big campaigns, and I don't necessarily know if anybody out there is equipped for that. Now, getting distracted... I'll say this over and over again. Control the controllables. Everything else is just a soap opera you don't have time for. Control the controllables. And people need to identify what is controllable, what is not controllable. Yes, you do have to push back against the disinformation. But in the way you push back about disinformation is to show people what right looks like. And there's a lot of technique to that. So you show people what right looks like. You don't get into the personal battles. That's not a thing. That's soap opera, right? So you have to create this venue and this opportunity for people to see what right looks like. And you guys are doing that on your show right now. This is what you're doing. You're showing people what right looks like. by telling them, hey, can you identify truthful, believable, neither or both? Can you identify what are the controllables? Are you getting taken off task? Are you spending seven hours a day on social media finding these things to react to that you really don't have any control over?
