Why the United States Is Losing the Cognitive War

In this episode, we discuss several areas related to the ongoing Cognitive War with Jonas Vesterberg. The importance of understanding how this war is being waged, the psychological operations (PsyOps) involved, how the adversaries – both global and domestic – use chaos, confusion, and terror to make others feel helpless and alone, and overloading the senses with multiple dilemmas is purposeful. Their objective has nothing to do with ideology, religion, or specific issues – those are only the ways they use to convince you to buy their utopian visions, believe they are your savior or benefactor, where they have a much more nefarious design and desired outcome – absolute power.

 Each week, we discuss varied strategic perspectives, analyses, and assessments on the ongoing Cognitive War. I’ve detailed the background and definition of this war, its underlying theory, how we should be conducting operations, and layout several seminal solutions to enable us to compete and win in this war in my just published book titled “The Cognitive War – Why We Are Losing and How We can Win” where you’ll get insights from 4 decades inside national security and why we must overhaul our national security apparatus to compete in this war with China, with Russia, and domestically with the radical progressive left.

Jonas and I discuss our recent article Who Directs America’s War on Its Own Population? In this episode, Jonas Vesterberg and I discuss the ongoing Cognitive Warfare but focus on three key areas that relate to his background and expertise:

  1. Architecture and design of enemy psyops
  1. Resisting disintegration operations
  1. Cognitive overload and pacification

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 enclav...

Hades and Harris – What’s the Difference? Part I of II. America is Dying from Within

  Hades and Harris – What’s the Difference? Part I of II America is Dying from Within What is the difference between the Kamala, who is now the democrat nominee for president, and hades? Well, to be frank, not much. If we consider what a Harris administration would do to America, has she not already much of that with Biden. If she is elected, you’ll see hell on earth – but it will take form in America. We must believe what we see, not what we hear or are led to believe by the deceitful. The best way to do that is to look at the policy impacts of Harris and Biden, and understand they are only a beginning if Harris and Waltz are elected. But before I focus on the actions, intent, and the devastating impacts of the Democrat’s policies on Americans let us look brief look at their nominees. Their policies are represented by the most radical leftist presidential ticket ever. A presidential and vice-presidential nominees anointed without an election, without the public voting, i...

Who’s Left Holding the Bag – The Progressives Playbook

 Who’s Left Holding the Bag – The Progressives Playbook One has to wonder why Americans haven’t yet figured out the progressive’s playbook when it comes to illegal immigration. It’s like watching the train bearing down the track, the victims (the legal American citizens) are on the track but not tied down. They need only to take a simple act to avoid being run over by the train, like stepping to the side, but for some ungodly reason – they don’t.  The train in this case is illegal immigration, and the act they “could’ve” taken is to vote differently. But they don’t? Not even after all of the progressive candidates telegraphed their intent to open the borders, and worse, give free healthcare, education, and phones to any illegal crossing the border. It doesn’t matter if they’re infected with the China Flu, a felon, a child sex trafficker, a Chinese male of military age, or even an ISIS recruit – the message is come one, come all.  The cognitive dissonance is astounding, as...
