Winning in 2024 – Conservative Suicide or Success?

 Winning in 2024 - Conservative Suicide or Success? - America Out Loud News

This episode is part of an ongoing effort by Mr. Haugland to provide a strategic perspective, assessment, analysis, insight, and deeper understanding of the importance of Cognitive War. In today’s episode, he focuses on the upcoming elections in 2024. He addresses the elephants in the room by speaking frankly about three key issues that conservatives have failed miserably in bringing a clear strategy, plan, and narrative.

Are we going to once again commit election suicide by making abortion a top issue, by not laying out the facts on race, or by avoiding pointing out the destruction of our constitutional, civil, and religious rights? Will we actually figure out that the key to achieving our desired objectives starts with winning elections, not falling for the emotional, but addressing the logical and factual?

Alexander Solzhenitsyn warned:

“The price of cowardice will only be evil. We shall reap courage and victory only when we dare to make sacrifices.” The 2024 elections may be the precipice at which we tip the balance of the information equilibrium irrevocably towards evil, subjugation, and dictatorship. But to stand up, fight, and win – we must also be clear, realistic, and demonstrate sustained will – and sacrifice the time, patience, and effort to understand this war, fight this war, and win this epic war between good and evil.

In this episode, Haugland lays out the impacts of our myopic focus and reactive posture in discussing the upcoming 2024 elections by speaking to three major emotional traps and how to address them in the forthcoming elections. Ensuring we move from the emotional to the logical and factual is a critical element, as he discusses:

Avoiding the Emotional Traps

  • Abortion – avoiding the emotional, focusing on logic.
  • Race – address the Big Lie.
  • Rights and Religion – who’s protecting vice taking them away?

Mr. Haugland wrote his The Cognitive War – Why We Are Losing and How We Can Win – because so few understand, are aware, or can comprehend what must be done in this 21st century to compete and win in the most critical of all domains – the domain of the human mind – the Cognitive Domain. You can learn more about Cognitive Warfare by reading Mr. Haugland’s just released book: “The Cognitive War – Why We Are Losing and How We Can Win.”

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
