The Information Equilibrium

  Iran and the Forgotten Cognitive Front There are two fronts in every war – one kinetic, one cognitive. The kinetic front is obvious, the cognitive not so. We will succeed on the kinetic front in the Iran war in the next few weeks, but what happens on the cognitive front will be the determining factor of success or failure. The cognitive front is fought to influence will, support, and ideology. It is the forgotten front, as our decades being mired in Afghanistan and Iraq demonstrated. We must understand how, and if, we are impacting the cognitive front against the Iranian leadership, military, and their supporters, their citizens, and our own citizens. Unfortunately, we have many challenges to overcome. One challenge, is denying, disrupting, and proactively superseding the global front of propaganda, false images and narratives of Iran, Russia, and China driving fear, economic reaction, and creating doubt. Success could severely diminish resolve amongst Iranians to rise up and ...

  https://www.americaoutloud.news/the-iran-war-all-roads-lead-to-the-ccp/ Dr. Li-Meng Yan engages with me, Edward Haugland, in an in-depth discussion of the Iran war. Dr. Yan’s weekly show is well worth listening to. I’ve engaged with her multiple times over the last three years as she gives great insights into the CCP and their efforts in this ongoing #CognitiveWar.  As a physician and virologist who has spent years studying respiratory viruses, I watch the current global scramble and feel a deep alarm. The pandemic taught us that pathogens do not respect borders. What followed taught us that geopolitics and supply chains can be weaponized. Critical minerals and microelectronics underpin vaccines, diagnostics, and biosafety equipment. When those flows are concentrated in one place, we trade cheap goods for fragile security. We also learned that information is now as dangerous as an agent in a vial. Israel and US sources have also confirmed that Iran is producing domestic...

Image created by Grok AI Using the Veil Religion to Advance Tyranny We are in a war in which our enemies use the veil of religion to seize power. Few understand this war in which past losses resulted in hundreds of millions of innocents being murdered, tortured, imprisoned or living for decades to centuries under tyranny. The use of religion to seize power is ancient in concept – and often uses one of two approaches. One is to attack or vilify a religion to advance tyranny. The other, to use the veil of religion to hide insidious efforts to advance tyranny. The genius (and danger) in using religion, in this perpetual cognitive war, is its subtlety. There are no tanks in the streets. Rather, memes, sermons, rhetoric, and false narratives and manufactured victims are employed using our cognitive biases (e.g., emotion, moral outrage) that erode shared reality over time. Understanding this, the KGB during the Cold War, conducted varied operations to compromise religious and other leaders t...

  Listen, learn, act!  https://rumble.com/v75zje4-psyops-america.html PsyOps in America - The #CognitiveWar The Lion’s Den hosted by Dr. Bill Lionberger with Ultra Analyst Mary Fanning and retired Intelligence Community and Department of Defense executive Edward Haugland.  Can America survive the infiltration of our enemies? How do we fight back in a war that is taking place globally and domestically in which our leaders remain unaware, unprepared, and unarmed? Given there are already four armies inside America (the Terrorist Cartels, nearly 500,000 Chinese Nationals, the radical left armies of Antifa BLM etc., and 30 plus illegal aliens) it is time to understand this war before it’s too late. Our nation is already invaded and infiltrated, this discussion calls out this reality and so much more. @AmericanReport @realDonaldTrump @SecRubio @SusieWiles @LauraIngraham  https://www.amazon.com/Cognitive-War-Why-Are-Losing/dp/B0CGKYKLPL

  https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/feb/15/rubio-us-defend-renew-western-civilization-ready-alone-europe-wont/ The West must be ready- Russia, Iran, China as the dominos will fall? Putin will be killed, as will the Ayatollah, and XI. The axis of evil will find their safe havens getting too small,for each demon. We must penetrate Russia’s information environment and advance the flow of truth and facilitate the critical collaboration necessary for collapse. The youth in Russia will find there is much to gain, nothing to lose in assassinating Putin. The USA should assist in indirect ways and covertly. Iran will be hit, their military and leadership, the Ayatollah will try to flee but be killed escaping or by the uprising. Regardless, his days are numbered too. Xi, fat, unhealthy, and of small mind and manhood has outsmarted himself by his actions. Like Russia, the USA needs to be proactive in penetrating China’s information environment and facilitate the inevitable. Xi, like a...

  https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/02/14/secretary-of-state-marco-rubio-critically-important-speech-to-munich-security-conference/ @SecRubio well done! You and @realDonaldTrump asked the question “what exactly are we defending, because armies do not fight for abstractions.” …Armies fight for a people; armies fight for a nation.  Armies fight for a way of life.  And that is what we are defending. What’s missing from this answer is most critical. Armies cannot fight a war they don’t understand. The most critical war we are fighting but fail to understand is the ongoing #Cognitivewar.   The fight to stop communism, fix the climate hoax, outsourcing, cultural decline, and mass immigration can’t be stopped by physical or kinetic force, only by cognitive understanding and action. The west is at war with China, but it is a #CognitiveWar, that few understand, are prepared for, or armed cognitively.  This administration, to win this war, must understan...
