Future Military Intelligence CONOPS and S&T Investment Roadmap 2035-2050 THE COGNITIVE WAR

This is my original paper published on Cognitive War, intended to inform the leadership across the Executive and Legislative Branches of the critical need to change the paradigm of our national security apparatus.  This paper is the basis of the book I'm writing on Cognitive War - Why We are Losing and How We Can Win.  The following is a warning to our leaders, if we fail to act.

Unless we adjust our future CONOPS and S&T Investments to account for the paradigm shifts that have occurred under our feet, our nation and its intelligence operations will once again awaken too late, to a different reality, which is likely to end badly with significant and long-term impacts to our nation’s security and place as world leader.

I project such a negative and reactive outcome to occur either because we lost the cognitive war totally, our adversaries succeed undermining our institutions and democratic foundation to such an extent they are no longer viable, or, because our efforts to counter in the cognitive domain came too late.

If we fail to act in the cognitive domain, we will likely end up in a major kinetic conflict resulting in devastating outcomes, in physical and human toll – recovery is questionable.

America’s Armageddon

  America’s Armageddon   Armageddon is defined as “the site or time of a final and conclusive battle between the forces of good and evil” [1] We are indeed in the midst of a centuries long battle between good and evil, it is primarily a cognitive war that is occurring both domestically and globally.   This ongoing battle, in current state, brings to the forefront the real possibility of America’s Armageddon – not decades from now, but next week, next month, or in the next year! Why do I believe this?   Let me start with a premise that we must continually assess, imagine, and project where we are heading as a society.   We must ask, if we have no long-term strategy, then who is guiding our country and to what end?   If we have no strategy, we defer to the strategy that our adversary’s layout. We defer to their vision of the future. We defer to their driving the agenda – as we can only react. And reacting being a defensive maneuver, is a losing proposition.   So continued assess

The Manchurian President

T he Manchurian President The way to crush the bourgeoisie [ the middle class] is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation [1] - Lenin   My opinion - As a former intelligence analyst and practitioner with over thirty-years of experience in national security across multiple executive departments, intelligence agencies, and defense organizations and services - is that President Biden is not only compromised but exemplifies the ultimate Manchurian President.  I also see him as a traitor to our nation – plain and simple. His actions and deeds, controlled by those we do not yet see, are purposefully destroying our democracy, our legal system, our freedoms, independence, and our republic.  I use Lenin’s quote – as it exemplifies the progressive left’s tactics, using today’s information-age technologies, in concert with our adversaries to destroy our nation, advance their vision of tyranny, ultimately to subjugate the people into pre-defined enclaves.  One encla

America’s Armageddon - Part II - Coming to America!

  America’s Armageddon Part II Coming to America!   With the evil we have seen in the attacks by Hamas terrorists against Israel – we must understand and consider the reality that the USA is in no better position to defend or defeat such asymmetrical attacks. The ongoing Cognitive War is real – it is global, and it is domestic. We have just witnessed how Hamas is implementing this war in a multi-faceted strategy with their allies in Iran, Russia, and China to create multiple dilemmas not only for Israel, but the USA and the world. We are likely on the precipice of our Armageddon as I wrote about back in April ’23 America’s Armageddon (theinformationequilibrium.blogspot.com) .   It is time to wake-up the silent majority, to prepare for worst case scenarios, as we have seen the abysmal failure of our national’s security apparatus to alert us to 9-11, to covid (aka China Flu), and now to this attack. It is obvious we cannot look to our federal elements to warn or preclude such a
