Distorted Reality

5th Gen Warfare in Plain Sight

June 9, 2024

Good morning, Usual Suspects. 

So far I have covered supply chain exploits and strategic scarcity as ubiquitous examples of 5^th Gen Warfare.  Today it seems prudent to discuss something that innumerable writers cover from different angles, but which we can just summarize as Distorted Reality.  In the ‘summer’ months of April / May in the Philippines I was reminded almost constantly of the power of the State to manage peoples’ perceptions, the simplest example being the so-called Heat Index.  But that is only one of many ways that our reality is shaped and molded.   As usual, here are some humble observations for your gray-matter bio computer; I just call ‘em as I see ‘em.

Only the Facts, Ma’am

Why is it so hard to simply know actual facts?  My grandfather would go out on the porch every morning and check the thermometer, and then the rain gauge.  But today we don’t seem to have thermometers or rain gauges, thanks to our phone apps and other sources.  We are constantly bombarded with ‘feels like’ temperatures, which has irritated me now for decades.  It is not 115 degrees outside, it is 90-something and humid.  It is not minus-20 outside, it is zero with a wind chill. 

Yet maybe you too have observed that nine out of ten people will discuss heat index and wind chill index temperatures as if they were fact.  The index has its uses, sure.  If you are going to be hunting in sub-zero temps or hiking through Death Valley, you definitely need to know about wind, evaporation, humidity, etc.  But where I live they use it as a basis for cancelling school, which is absurd.

If they didn’t obscure the facts, you might not buy into their top control agenda: climate change.  Man’s supposed impact on the planet is driving most of the other agendas.  Can countries be manipulated in particular ways on this agenda alone?  You bet.  That is 5^th Gen Warfare. 

NASA is one of the prime perpetrators of factual misrepresentation.  Have you seen an actual picture of the Earth lately?  I bet you haven’t.  Typical images we see of our little blue watery world are either computer renderings or composite images stitched-together by NASA from smaller satellite photos.  Given that they cannot even be trusted to prove we went to the moon, I have a real problem trusting mere images. 

NASA will, with a straight face, show you a detailed rendering of Proxima B, and let you believe that this was photographed by the James Webb Space Telescope.  No.  JWST photographed a little blurry smudge, the rest is artistic interpolation.  You don’t even have to reach as far back as Stanley Kubrick to know that NASA is showing whatever they need to show, to garner your belief.  But then again, so is SpaceX, and so is Google.  Is there a really a red Tesla roadster in space?  Who knows.

Are Google Maps images accurate?  Sort of, not really, well most of the time....  Google is well known for  hiding details and painting clouds over things you are not allowed to see.  Other than spotting their fakery, how would we know what is being hidden?  Why would NASA want you to visualize Proxima B without knowing much about it?  Why do they color-shift to Mars images to make the planet look more red than it is?  I can only ponder these things superficially before getting into rabbit holes.  They just seem to enjoy feeding us mis-information for their own opaque reasons, And that’s the way it is (insert Cronkite voice).

Distorted Reality is simply the use of supposedly trustworthy sources to make you form a critical false impression.  It is worse than propaganda, because you see it with your own eyes.  You hear it straight from the lips of experts, or can look up the data.  We used to be able to trust institutions like the CDC, or the military, or weather scientists, back in the days before everything had a political agenda.  Do that today, and become an immediate sucker for 5^th Gen Warfare tactics.  Good Citizens have become the Proles in Orwell’s 1984, just absorbing whatever the State tells them to think. 

Ukraine has been an excellent object lesson in this tactic.  What is true and what is not, in Ukraine?  The vast majority of the public has no idea Zelensky was formerly a TV actor playing a role about becoming president, before actually becoming president.  We have the Western intel sources admitting they are feeding the news propaganda.  We have the news admitting it is their job to prop up the narrative.  Forget about knowing true facts related to campaigns, victories, deaths, negotiations, etc.  We’ll tell you what to believe, that is all that matters.

5^th Gen Warfare makes it possible to hide the fact that there are any number of illicit activities going on in Ukraine -- from money laundering to child trafficking to secret bio-labs.  But it is apparently un-American to question anything about it, or to state that Putin has some pretty good points.  By falling victim to this narrative, the easily manipulated public has given crucial support to Congress and the Warhawks gunning for the next notch in America’s belt.  Which seems to be the destruction of Russia at all costs.  It is like the ultimate game of nuclear chicken, and someone handed the keys for the atomic Corvette to Joe Biden.

The Economy is another distortion of reality.  The dollar itself has been unhinged from reality since 1974.  I admit to being unsophisticated when it comes to understanding all the market flows, indexes, indicators, terms, etc.  But that partly comes from the keen sense that the entire Edifice is all smoke and mirrors.  There are many respectable people who live and breathe this stuff, but they may as well be discussing alternate physics when it comes to the complexities of the global markets, currencies, inflation / deflation, and the rest.  My sense is they don’t really understand it.  Has any economic prediction model ever been accurate?  Check me on this, but I’m pretty sure the answer is no.  Mix in enough gibberish and jargon, and the whole thing is purposefully unintelligible; except to those really in the know.  And I bet that is not any of us, Reader.

So, tell me the economy is great while it is the illegal immigrants getting jobs and free apartments.  Buy up all the housing with masses of Blackrock funds, then tell me the housing market has never been stronger.  Cancel the student loan debts of your hopeful ’24 voting block, then blame the past President for skyrocketing debt.  Funnel trillions to the Military Industrial Complex, then claim America is a nation of peace and laws.  THE ENTIRE BALL OF WAX is lies, so of course the way to make it all good and proper is to sidle right on over to Central Bank Digital Currencies.  Sorry, but any thinking person knows this is a trap.

If quantitative easing taught us anything, it is that the central banks are in it to win it, and how financial repercussions will always be on the backs of the poor, who are the least tolerant to inflation.  It is difficult to respect anything that goes on in the financial space, since it is just hocus-pocus. Then again I seem to be willfully poor, so don’t trust me for financial advice.  But don’t trust the Fed either, or the World Bank, or the BIS, or the IMF.  Not a single one is trustworthy because they twist reality to their own advantage.

I know you can think of many more examples of how our reality becomes distorted:

• Pandemics / Gain of function - Good luck trying to ever get to the truth, just take the jab ‘cause we say so.

• Climate change - Cooling since the age of the dinosaurs but they have most of us believe it is warming.

• History - Or should I say historical fictions?  Better get your hands on old text books while you can.

• Political Theater - Totally Kabuki, they only value your vote.  Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.   

• Zionism - Think we know anything about what is really going on in Gaza?  “But the Nooz said....”

• Advanced Tech - The patents alone should convince anyone that we are being lied to about what is available.

• Fact Checks - :-)

• Alien disclosure - Nothing to see, the government says so.

Turning the Tables

There is an important point of reflection staring at us, in which 75% of what we hear or read online should be taken with a grain of salt.  Ditto for entire topics, like medical expertise, energy, and climate.  If the whole world is misinformation, then how do we figure out what is actually happening?  By not being lazy.    

There are enough resources available to glean something close to the truth out of most topics, but you’ll really have to comb through a lot of data to get there.  Since most of us can’t become full-time researchers, it means being choosy about what to pursue.  It means trusting your instincts on many things, or having access to older books and encyclopedias.  True, those may be biased also, but at least not to the breathtaking level that we see in 2024.  Trusted people have become invaluable resources to me.  Very often I find myself putting greater emphasis on things that can be personally verified, hands-on.  This shrinks the whole world unfortunately.  But I can trust my neighbor to tell me how to raise chickens much more than reading about it online.   

In my mid-50’s, it is necessary where I live to become my own backyard physician, considering the hospital system cannot be trusted.  My own backyard mechanic, or mason, or fabricator.  Wars, rumors of wars, global plandemics, and all of the Agenda 2030 B.S. are filling my mental rain gauge until it is impossible to even take a reading.  It is all either fake, or completely wrong, or evil disguised as good.  And this brings me to an important point:  what we are facing largely has a spiritual component to it, Reader.  That is to say, our ultimate grounding as spirit beings who inhabit these mortal bodies does not come from anything that Man devises. 

I have stated in these essays that the first step in reconnoitering our place in the Post Truth era is to know who you are; what you stand for; which side you are on in this conflict.  For me, that is with the Lord Jesus Christ, and I can tell you that after re-grounding my life in this way everything became so much more clear.  How ironic, some may say, to declare that most everything is fake or misinformation, but then believe the Bible?  Yep.  At our house we study it and pray on it every day, and grow spiritually deeper with the passing of time.  Real changes take place in our own lives, and the lives of those around us.  Changes which cannot be explained any other way except for growing closer to the Lord. 

So the world can go to Hell in a hypersonic missile.  I suspect it will.  Or maybe we will see a mass revival and turning back to God, which we pray for continually.  5^th Gen Warfare will not make it easy to figure out anything that is going on whenever it becomes kinetic and the SHTF, which is why getting your spiritual house in order is a must.  If you think your BS meter is finely tuned now, then add some spiritual wisdom and re-evaluate.

In conclusion, 5^th Gen Warfare tactics described here are meant to keep you from being anchored.  You won’t know which way is up, down, or backward.  This is what they want; for you to cave-in mentally, like the Proles in 1984.  Even objective things like the temperature become subjective under this kind of New Think.  Boys can be girls, meat causes global warming, and obese ladies win Miss Universe.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.  You can know what the temperature is, or that the economy is a myth, or that you live in a giant revolving meat grinder designed to serve some hidden power structure.  It takes effort, it takes discovery.  If Truth is what you are after, then it takes spiritual insight and wisdom.  The war already started years ago, so anyone preparing for this battle of awareness could be in for a shock.  Putting on the full armor of God is highly recommended, Ephesians 6:11.

Tomorrow I’m going to be a plumber.  The next day mixing cement and laying some concrete blocks.  After that, designing a new sign for our church.  This is reality.  But I have no idea what Biden’s latest gaffe might have been, or who said what else about Trump’s trial.  There will be some update about US weapons being cleared for use in Russia, or some other revelation supposedly coming from Gaza.  Not much of that far away stuff pertains to me anymore, although I do keep a watchful eye on what the Chinese are doing in the West Philippine Sea.  Being at peace with the world is its own reward, Readers.  We are only in these mortal bodies for a short time, so let’s make it count.

Peace be upon you in Christ from the Philippines,
