Trump Administration: IT’S TIME TO ENFORCE CONSEQUENCES for Corruption Crimes!

SO ARREST & PROSECUTE the Corruptocrat Criminals!


John R. Houk, Blog Editor

© May 31, 2025

 

There is so much corruption INSIDE the U.S. Government – largely the result of a Dem-Marxist infused unelected bureaucracy – I am beginning to have doubts even an astutely operated Trump Administration will be able to uncover all the corruption let alone eradicate it.

 

It seems I run into some revelation of hidden corruption from the recent past (hello installed Biden Administration) and ongoing coverups being exposed in the present.

 

Today I will address two of many that I have ran into.

 

First up Samuel Robinson Kephart’s Substack (VaxxFacts.info) posted an essentially outline-like entry of Judicial Branch corruption so wicked that literally places Constitutional governance on the ropes. Kephart is so distraught his post uses a bit of profanity as well some quotes from notable individuals and the Bible.

 

Kephart offers insights more than solutions. However, if the American Republic actually experiences another Civil War, history will probably look back on how the Judicial Branch shredded the U.S. Constitution so much that WE THE PEOPLE again rose up against the bands of tyranny destroying the rule of law. Kephart’s title: “The Sovereign Chronicles - May 2025 Edition: LAWFARE & THE JUDICIAL JIHAD AGAINST TRUTH: When Black Robes Become Blackmail... The Warped Bench That Betrays our Republic.

 

THEN The Federalist looks at unearthed Spygate/Russiagate documents from the Obama/Hillary crimes (LOOKS LIKE TREASON TO ME) to prevent Donald Trump’s FIRST ELECTION. The title: “New Docs Reveal How FBI Insiders Buried Evidence Of Spygate Crimes”.

 

Here’s an observation many are beginning to speak out loud on the Conservative/Patriot/MAGA side: “When the devil are the arrests and prosecutions going to take place?

 

If there is a glaring Trump Administration failure in the eyes of those who voted a too-big-to-rig Second Term to happen, IT IS A LACK OF CONSEQUENCES for Dem-Marxist, RINO, Bureaucrat CRIMES. This is the case when clearly the Judicial System was weaponized by Dems AGAINST the CONSERVATIVE/PATRIOT/MAGA people.

 

The Corruptocrats are counting on 2026 (rigged) election victories to AGAIN weaponize the system AGAIN against Trump and those Patriots who revere the Originalist Constitution and the principles leading to the Republic’s Founding.

 

SO ARREST & PROSECUTE the Corruptocrat Criminals! Even if some of those arrests are corrupt Judges.

The Sovereign Chronicles - May 2025 Edition: LAWFARE & THE JUDICIAL JIHAD AGAINST TRUTH

When Black Robes Become Blackmail... The Warped Bench That Betrays our Republic.

Corrupt Judiciary & Blind Justice (VaxxFacts.info Photo)

 

By Samuel Robinson Kephart

Editor’s Note: I’m highly “qualified” to make the following comments. I hail from a 100-year, four-generation family of prominent politicians, lawyers, and judges. Most of today’s “woke” and left-leaning judges are intellectually DISHONEST, dark spirit influenced, moral shit-asses… GUARANTEED!

 

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil… who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice to the innocent.”
Isaiah 5:20, 23

 

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

 

Let us speak now—not in whispers, but in fire:

 

§  We are in the throes of a new kind of civil war.

 

§  A war not of muskets, but mandates.

 

§  Not of cannon fire, but courtrooms.

 

This is the age of LAWFARE—where black-robed ideologues wage “jihad” against liberty… weaponizing precedent as poison.

This is not justice. This is Judicial Occupation.

 

What should be an impartial branch of government has become an ideological insurgency.

 

These unelected judges—positioned by design, not by vote—have launched a siege on Executive authority, paralyzed the will of the People, and crowned themselves the final voice over trade, immigration, sovereignty, and even reality itself.

 

They are not adjudicating law.

 

They ARE nullifying the Republic.

 

TRADE TARIFF SABOTAGE:

 

When President Trump imposed tariffs to halt the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) overreach, globalist judges rushed in—not to protect Americans, but to protect multinational parasites feeding on U.S. supply chains.

 

These GODDAM judges are now working, in tandem with lobbyists and legacy press, to sabotage lawful tariffs meant to protect domestic labor and industrial sovereignty.

 

“The law perverted! And the police powers of the state perverted along with it! The law has become the weapon of every kind of greed.”
Frédéric Bastiat

 

IMMIGRATION INTERFERENCE:

 

Every attempt to secure the southern border—be it deportations, asylum limits, or even temporary halts—has been thwarted by the judicial aristocracy. These judges override lawful orders, delay enforcement, and empower cartels and traffickers under the false idol of “compassion.”

 

But compassion without order is chaos.

 

And chaos is what they serve.

 

“Do not pervert justice or show partiality... Follow justice and justice alone.”
Deuteronomy 16:19–20

 

UNIVERSITIES UNBOUND:

 

Our college and university campuses have become ideological laundromats—scrubbing minds clean of heritage, biology, and discernment.

 

All while raking in billions in taxpayer money: research grants, tuition subsidies, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) initiatives funding.

 

And what do we receive in return?

 

§  Indoctrinated youth

 

§  “Cancel culture” crusaders

 

§  Professors who teach disdain for the very Constitution that protects them

 

THE BENCH HAS BEEN BREACHED

 

Let us state it plainly:


The Judicial Branch has declared war on Executive Authority.
And by extension, it has declared war on the American People.

 

No court has the right to override the Constitution.


No robe has the power to usurp the voice of the citizen.

 

We are watching judges now block deportations…


Hamstring trade tariffs…


Shield academic corruption…


Sabotage the rightful acts of a duly elected leader…

 

They have crossed the Rubicon.

 

“Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, have fellowship with You?”
Psalm 94:20

 

“It is the spirit and not the form of law that keeps justice alive.”
Earl Warren

 

THE CALL TO REMEMBER

 

You can smell the collusion in the air:

 

§  Media narrative engineers.

 

§  NGO operatives.

 

§  Soros-linked networks.

 

§  Tech elites in bed with “progressive” courtrooms.

 

This is not a courtroom drama.


This is Regime Change in slow motion—waged domestically.

 

They tried to jail Trump…


Now they seek to jail his policies by any means necessary!

 

But we do not kneel.

 

“Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!”
Amos 5:24

 

THE SOVEREIGN DECREE

 

The Sovereign Citizen now stands as the last firewall.

 

This is not a call for rebellion. This is a call for remembrance:


Of the Republic.


Of the Constitution.


Of a time when the people ruled—not the judges.

 

The next chapter begins not in silence, but in thunder.


Not in submission, but in sacred defiance.

 

“For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for Him.”
Isaiah 30:18

 

“Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.”
Thomas Jefferson

New Docs Reveal How FBI Insiders Buried Evidence Of Spygate Crimes

FBI_Evidence_Response_Team_vehicle (The Federalist Photo)

 

By Hans Mahncke

May 30, 2025

The Federalist

 

A bigger scandal than Nellie Ohr’s crimes is how the FBI handled them. Instead of referring her for prosecution, they buried the evidence.

 

Nellie Ohr isn’t a new name in the Russiagate saga, but newly released documents from Sen. Chuck Grassley’s office shatter the fiction that she was just a low-level researcher and reveal her as a key conduit between Clinton operatives, the DOJ, and the FBI. The documents also pull back the curtain on a darker truth: an internal black hole FBI system designed not just to restrict access to sensitive Russiagate documents, but to bury them so completely that even FBI agents tasked with finding them wouldn’t know they existed.

 

What was already known about Nellie Ohr is that she worked for Fusion GPS — an opposition research firm led by former Wall Street Journal reporters Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch — who were hired by the Clinton campaign in April 2016 to manufacture the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. At the same time, her husband, Bruce Ohr, was a senior official at the Department of Justice. It was also known that Nellie Ohr gathered open-source information on various figures, including Trump campaign advisor Carter Page, which was then twisted to fit the collusion narrative. What was not known — until now — is just how deeply involved she was in the Trump-Russia collusion smear, how brazenly she lied to cover it up, and how the FBI actively aided in the cover-up.

 

According to the newly released document from Sen. Grassley’s office, a previously unseen 43-page FBI analysis from 2019, Nellie Ohr was involved in many aspects of the Russia collusion hoax, including in the drafting of the Steele Dossier. The FBI analysis was initiated after then-Congressman Mark Meadows filed a criminal referral, alleging that Ohr had lied to Congress during her 2018 testimony about her role in producing supposed research that helped trigger the Trump-Russia investigation. Meadows had good reason to be suspicious.


As the analysis concluded, Nellie Ohr repeatedly lied under oath. The FBI found that despite her denials, she contributed directly to the writing of the Steele Dossier. One telling clue was an identical analytical error that appeared both in her research and in the dossier itself. Even more damning, the FBI recovered a deleted “FSB report” from a thumb drive which Fusion owner Simpson had given to Bruce Ohr to give to the FBI in December 2016. That same fictitious report had already appeared as part of the dossier given to the FBI by Steele two months earlier, in October 2016. The FSB report bore all the hallmarks of Nellie Ohr’s work, which likely explains why Simpson, or whoever created the thumb drive, deleted the report just four minutes after uploading it, before eventually giving it to Bruce Ohr to pass to the FBI. What they didn’t realize was that what they tried to hide was still recoverable.

 

It’s long been suspected that former British intelligence agent turned Clinton operative Christopher Steele’s role wasn’t to generate the dossier’s content himself but to act as a cutout, lending British intelligence credibility to stories manufactured by Fusion GPS operatives and Clinton campaign affiliates. That part of the operation was wildly successful. To this day, many still believe it was Steele who wrote the dossier’s stories, when in reality, he was just the frontman.

 

The FBI analysis also reviewed emails of Trump-Russia material sent directly by Ohr to DOJ prosecutors, including individuals she never disclosed to Congress. Further, while under oath, Ohr claimed to have had no knowledge of the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation, insisting that her work for Fusion just happened to align with it. Those claims were also false. In reality, she was deeply embedded in the FBI-DOJ pipeline. Far from a passive researcher, she functioned as a conduit between Clinton-funded smear artists and federal law enforcement.

 

The FBI discovered that she deleted emails, met multiple times with Steele, and lied to Congress about when she took ham radio classes. In truth, she became familiar with ham radio concurrently while working on the Russia collusion hoax, likely as a way to evade digital surveillance. Additionally, she was involved in the so-called Alfa Bank dossier, a fraudulent document pushed to the FBI by Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann in an attempt to spark yet another investigation into Trump. In short, Nellie Ohr was no low-level researcher. She was a central player and a key conduit linking the FBI, DOJ, and Clinton operatives driving the smear campaign.

 

But as bad as all that is, the bigger scandal may be how the FBI handled this information. Instead of referring her for prosecution, they buried the evidence. The FBI analysis of Ohr’s lies was hidden and is only coming to light now, six years later, conveniently after the five-year statute of limitations for lying to Congress expired. Perhaps even worse, the report exposes the FBI’s “black hole” system, where sensitive documents are dumped into “prohibited files” that remain unsearchable, even by other agents. This systemic opacity was repeatedly flagged by the very analyst who wrote the FBI’s report on Nellie Ohr:

 

“‘Prohibited Access’ status precludes investigators from detecting the existence of potentially relevant serials (…) when search terms that exist in the Prohibited Access–status cases are searched in Sentinel, the particular search will receive a false-negative Sentinel search response.”

 

In other words, there’s likely far more that remains hidden to this day, or “unknown unknowns,” as Donald Rumsfeld famously put it. One critical question is whether Inspector General Michael Horowitz or Special Counsel John Durham ever had access to the FBI’s black hole system. The answer is that they probably did not.

 

Another disturbing detail, also discussed in the FBI analysis, is something internet sleuths first uncovered in 2019 when Judicial Watch obtained a FOIA release on Bruce Ohr–related documents. Buried in the records was a seemingly minor point: Nellie and Bruce Ohr traveled to Prague in February 2016. That stood out, not only because Prague was the city falsely cited in the Steele Dossier as the site of a covert meeting between Trump lawyer Michael Cohen and Russian officials, but also because, according to Wikileaks emails, February 2016 was the same month the Clinton campaign first discussed its anti-Trump smear operation, internally dubbed the “swift boat project.”

 

But there’s more to the Prague story. What online sleuths didn’t know back in 2019 — because the government FOIA censors conveniently redacted the name, supposedly for “privacy reasons” — was known to the FBI analyst tasked with investigating Nellie Ohr’s lies to Congress: Bruce and Nellie Ohr were accompanied on their February 2016 trip to Prague by none other than Timothy Thibault.

 

Yes, that Timothy Thibault. The disgraced FBI agent who could be described as an evil Forrest Gump: always popping up where the action is, always doing the wrong thing. Thibault was the agent who sabotaged the Hunter Biden laptop investigation, shutting it down under the bogus claim that it was Russian disinformation. He then manipulated FBI systems to make sure the case couldn’t be reopened, eerily similar to the black hole treatment given to files in the Nellie Ohr case.

 

He also oversaw the suppression of whistleblower Tony Bobulinski’s allegations about the Biden family’s business dealings. And when it came to the 2020 election, Thibault launched “Operation Arctic Frost” to seize government-issued cell phones from President Trump, Mike Pence, and other top officials, in an effort to tie Trump to the so-called “fake electors” narrative.

 

Indeed, the FBI analyst who investigated Meadows’ referral on Nellie Ohr not only knew that Thibault had traveled to Prague, but remarked that Nellie Ohr was “remarkably well connected” and questioned why Thibault went with the Ohrs in the first place. It remains one of the lingering, unexplained threads of Russiagate. There’s no direct evidence linking this trip to an anti-Trump operation but the coincidence is hard to ignore. Prague was a key element in the fraudulent Steele Dossier, and Nellie Ohr was feeding information into both the dossier and the DOJ’s Trump-Russia investigation. Maybe some of the answers are buried in the FBI’s black hole system.

 

In the end, it’s the same story: Nellie Ohr was caught, repeatedly and provably, lying to Congress. But instead of facing justice, she was protected. Like everyone else who pushed the Russia collusion lies, and the list is long, she walks away scot-free.

Bannon Hillsdale Speech & Dr. Malone PsyWar Tactics

John R. Houk, Blog Editor

© May 15, 2025

 

I’ve got two VERY important shares a Conservative-Patriot should be interested in watching/reading.

 

First I’m going to share a Steve Bannon speech given under the auspices of Hillsdale College (H/T: We The People Convention). Bannon gave the speech on April 24, 2025 AND Hillsdale College posted on May 9, 2025 at Youtube.

 


The Bannon speech is about 35-Minutes (of a 58-Minute video) followed by some Q&A time. The Q&A session is just as informative as the speech. The Q&A begins with Bannon asking Hillsdale College President Larry P. Arnn explain what it means that our point in history is an 1860 MOMENT.

 

THEN I’m sharing a Dr. Robert Malone post from May 13 entitled, “Cyber Balkanization- Welcome to the Splinternet: Divide and conquer meets fifth-generation #PsyWar”. Dr. Malone essentially is explaining the method of how the enemies of Conservative-Patriots are using PsyWar tactics to splinter Conservative-Patriots into disagreeing factions.

 


Both Bannon and Dr. Malone are essentially warning that the ONLY path to preserving a Constitutional Republic is for Conservative-Patriots to focus on unites US because division will give tyrannical governance to the Dem-Marxist Globalists (DMG). AND if the DMG rules, it will be with an iron hand that will send dissenting Conservative-Patriots to jail (Biden Administration proved that), reeducation camps or execution.

 

There is one painful thing about Dem-Marxists: Whatever inner minor disagreements they have among themselves, they unite as one to enforce a cultural-societal transformation by any means necessary (including violence).

 

Bannon alludes – but DOES NOT say directly – that to preserve our Founders’ Constitutional Republic, it might be time to suspend portions of the beloved Constitution to eradicate the enemies of the Constitution. THAT COULD BE OUR 1860 MOMENT! That’s how Abraham Lincoln’s governance kept America as One Nation in winning the Civil War.

 

Dr. Malone’s post and the case he builds of the Dem-Marxists is lengthy. So, before sharing the entire post I’m going to quote the “Concluding Remarks”. After the “Concluding Remarks” and you have the sense of “What does that mean?” Then read the “Cyber Balkanization- Welcome to the Splinternet” from the beginning. It is important you comprehend the tactics of divide and conquer employed by the evil enemies of the Founders’ Republic of the United States of America.

 

Dr. Malone’s “Concluding Remarks”

 

“Please do not be naive. Big food, Big Pharma, Big Ag, the Democrat party, and a multitude of leftist organizations and NGOs are actively deploying Fifth Generation Warfare tactics to divide and conquer the Make America Healthy Again movement, and specifically to delegitimize and neutralize both Secretary Kennedy and President Trump’s HHS appointees. Do you really think that you can defeat the most powerful organizations in the world by yelling at people online, gaslighting, and calling them names? Let’s resolve to all try not to help our opponents achieve their objectives?

 

I beg you. When online, please be sure to act like a mature adult. No matter how pissed off you may be at someone. Don’t let your passion or anger get the better of you. When you interact on social media, this is often done to influence others. Avoid witch hunts, no matter how important the cause. Remember that you are acting as both a role model and an ambassador for your cause. Be like Sun Tzu’s Commander and not like Machiavelli’s Prince. Choose your words wisely. Others are watching and are judging your cause by your actions and words.

 

Washington DC is functionally the Imperial Capital of the world, and DC politics are the big league. If you are going to gird your loins and enter the big league PsyWar battlefield, remember that you may think you are a player, but more likely than not you are going to get played. So get smart, and maintain professionalism, balance, humility and decorum. You are an idea ambassador, so act the part.

 

And if you can’t run with the Big Dogs, then stay on the porch.”

Cyber Balkanization- Welcome to the Splinternet

Divide and conquer meets fifth-generation #PsyWar

 

By Robert W Malone MD, MS

Malone News


Sun Tsu Quote (Malone News Photo)

 

Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them,

“Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and no city or house divided against itself will stand.”

Matthew 12:25

 

Somehow, my mission in life has evolved from teaching people about mRNA drug delivery technology, bioethics, clinical research, and regulatory affairs to educating others about the many ways that corporate and social media are psychologically manipulating them. Many of those ways involve ancient strategies and tactics described in Sun Tzu’s “The Art of War” and Machiavelli’s “The Prince”. Today, I will focus on tactics and strategies routinely deployed to “divide and conquer.” Matthew said it best, but let’s take a moment to explore how this relates to today’s social and corporate media ecosystem.

 

This discussion was prompted by a recent posting on “X” by Josh Walkos.

Champagne Josh X-Tweet screengrab (Malone News Photo)

 

Ancient Wisdom: “The Art of War” versus “The Prince”

One big difference between “The Art of War” and “The Prince” has to do with ethics. Sun Tzu had deeply held beliefs regarding ethics and honor. Machiavelli’s writing and advice were essentially devoid of ethical considerations, which is why he is often considered evil, to such an extent that modern psychology considers Machiavellian behaviors (Machiavellianism) a key component of the “dark triad” of behaviors.

 

The dark triad is a psychological theory of personality, first published in 2002, that describes three notably offensive personality types: Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. Each of these personality types is referred to as dark because each are considered to contain malevolent qualities.

 

All three dark triad traits are conceptually distinct, although empirical evidence shows them to be overlapping. They are associated with a callous–manipulative interpersonal style.

 

§  Narcissism is characterized by grandiosity, pride, egotism, and a lack of empathy.

 

§  Machiavellianism is characterized by manipulativeness, indifference to morality, lack of empathy, and a calculated focus on self-interest.

 

§  Psychopathy is characterized by continuous antisocial behavior, impulsivity, selfishness, callous and unemotional traits, and remorselessness.

 

Moving on to Sun Tzu's "The Art of War," the concept of divide and conquer is explored in various chapters, emphasizing the importance of dividing forces to manage them effectively. According to Sun Tzu, managing a large force can be made like managing a small force by dividing the numbers, allowing for better control and coordination.

 

Sun Tzu advises that when facing an enemy, if your forces are ten times greater, surround them; if five times greater, attack them; and if double the strength, divide them. This strategy aims to weaken the enemy by causing internal divisions and confusion, making them easier to defeat.

 

In the context of military tactics, Sun Tzu also highlights the importance of not besieging walled cities if possible, as it is the worst policy. Instead, he advocates for breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting, which can be achieved through strategic planning and manipulation of the enemy's forces.

 

Additionally, Sun Tzu emphasizes the importance of unity within one's own army and the use of spies to gather information about the enemy, which can be crucial in implementing divide and conquer strategies effectively.

 

However, Sun Tzu teaches that the divide-and-conquer strategy must never be used for personal gain, amusement, or profit. It must only be employed to combat an evil foe. Doing so otherwise would only make you nothing more than a sociopath, a narcissist, a fiend. Not a Warrior of Virtue.

 

Sun Tzu states that the commander stands for the virtues of wisdom, sincerity, benevolence, courage, and strictness.

 

§  Wisdom: Refers to the ability to make sound judgments and decisions.

 

§  Sincerity: Indicates honesty and genuineness in dealings.

 

§  Benevolence: Implies kindness and compassion towards others.

 

§  Courage: Represents bravery and fearlessness in the face of danger.

 

§  Strictness: Denotes the need for discipline and adherence to rules.

 

These virtues are essential for a commander to lead effectively and ensure the success of their military endeavors.

 

Social Balkanization in the Internet Age

 

The Splinternet (Wikipedia)

 

The splinternet (also referred to as cyber-balkanization or internet balkanization) is a characterization of the Internet as splintering and dividing due to various factors, such as technology, commerce, politics, nationalism, religion, and divergent national interests. "Powerful forces are threatening to balkanise it", wrote the Economist weekly in 2010, arguing it could soon splinter along geographic and commercial boundaries.[1] The Chinese government erected the "Great Firewall" for political reasons, and Russia has enacted the Sovereign Internet Law that allows it to partition itself from the rest of the Internet.[2][3] Other nations, such as the US and Australia, have discussed plans to create a similar firewall to block child pornography or weapon-making instructions.[1]

 

Clyde Wayne Crews, a researcher at the Cato Institute, first used the term in 2001 to describe his concept of "parallel Internets that would be run as distinct, private, and autonomous universes."[4] Crews used the term in a positive sense, but more recent writers, like Scott Malcomson, a fellow in New America's International Security program, use the term pejoratively to describe a growing threat to the internet's status as a globe-spanning network of networks.[5]

Splintering of the Internet community can occur when people engage in confirmation bias and create echo chambers, using the Internet to exclude or avoid views that contradict their beliefs and attitudes.[24] Called Cyberbalkanization (or sometimes cyber-balkanization), it refers to the division of the Internet or the World Wide Web into sub-groups with specific interests (digital tribes), where the sub-group's members almost always use the Internet or the web to communicate or read material that is only of interest to the rest of the sub-group. The term may have first been used in an MIT paper by Marshall Van Alstyne and Erik Brynjolfsson that was published online in March 1997.[25] The concept was also discussed in a related November 1996 article in the journal Science[26] and in a Spring 1997 law review article.[27] The term is a hybrid of cyber, relating to the Internet, and Balkanization, a phenomenon that takes its name from the Balkans, a part of Europe that was historically subdivided by languages, religions and cultures.

 

In his 2001 book Republic.com, Cass Sunstein argued that cyberbalkanization could damage democracy, because it allows different groups to avoid exposure to one another as they gather in increasingly segregated communities, making recognition of other points of view or common ground decreasingly likely. The commentator Aleks Krotoski feels that Jihadist groups often use the Internet in this way.[28]

 

Despite the concerns of cyberbalkanization, there is mixed evidence that it is actually growing. One Wharton study found that internet filters can create commonality, not fragmentation. However, this study primarily focused on music recommendation algorithms, and openly states that more research is required surrounding other domains (e.g. news, books, fashion).[29]

 

Another study found that ideological segregation of online news consumption is low in absolute terms, higher than the segregation of most offline news consumption, and significantly lower than the segregation of face-to-face interactions with neighbors, co-workers, or family members. The study notes that an important caveat, however, is that none of their evidence speaks to the way people translate the content they encounter into beliefs, which may be a larger factor in the problem these types of studies seek to address.[30]

Fifth Generation Warfare (5GW) is characterized by its focus on non-kinetic military actions such as social engineering, misinformation, and cyberattacks, often leveraging emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and autonomous systems. It is described as a war of "information and perception," aiming to manipulate cognitive biases and create new ones to achieve strategic objectives. This form of warfare seeks to dominate the human domain without resorting to overt violence or kinetic military actions, making it difficult to attribute attacks to specific actors.

 

Key principles of 5GW include:

 

§  Secrecy: Operations are often covert, making it hard to identify the perpetrators.

 

§  Manipulation of Proxies: Using intermediaries to carry out actions on behalf of the actual instigators.

 

§  Manipulation of Identity and Culture: Leveraging disinformation and big data to shape societal attitudes and behaviors.

 

§  Psychological Warfare: Employing tactics to influence the mental and emotional states of adversaries and civilians.

 

These principles are applied through various technologies and techniques, such as social media manipulation, cyber operations, and the use of emerging technologies to influence human behavior and societal structures. In 5GW, the battlefield is your mind, and the objective is control of the battlefield. There are no rules of engagement - anything goes. 5GW seeks to control all information you access via any source, and thereby to control your ideas, thoughts, emotions, motivations, and actions- all of the things that are associated with who you are. In 5GW, there is no distinction between combatants and non-combatants.

 

In a successful Fifth Generation Warfare campaign, those targeted should never be aware that they are the targets, and they should never be aware of who is doing the targeting. In the resulting surrealistic media landscape, it becomes extremely difficult to tell the difference between friend and foe, and to discriminate between truth and lies.

Virtually all modern governments, all large corporations, and most large non-governmental organizations have adopted PsyWar technologies and approaches to advance both political and marketing objectives. Propaganda, marketing, and modern PsyWar methods have merged to yield a seamless continuum.

 

Psychological Warfare relies upon the theory and art of war, but extends this theory into the information sphere. This includes the use of historically effective tactics and strategies such as “divide and conquer”. In the case of social media, the new toolkit for dividing and conquering communities and populations provides a wealth of opportunities. The use of bots, trollery, and all of the many ways that these can be used to manipulate audiences are routinely deployed. This includes the use of chaos agents and bot farms to sow and promote discord, anger, and division within dissident communities. The practice of paying “influencers” to promote narratives has become routine.

 

For one example, see this recent article by the Children’s Health Defense publication “The Defender”:

Reporter Nick Sortor was the first to reveal that the public relations firm Influenceable was behind the posts. It had reportedly paid influencers up to $1,000 per post to oppose the SNAP reforms.

 

Several conservative social media influencers were caught accepting money from a public relations firm to oppose reforms to SNAP benefits — the government assistance program formerly known as food stamps — investigative journalist Lee Fang reported last week.

 

The campaign emerged in response to Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s proposal that soda and processed foods be excluded from the over $100 billion government program that helps 42 million low-income people supplement their grocery budget.

 

Brooke Rollins, secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), has also signaled support for the proposed reforms. The program is administered by the USDA, not HHS.

 

A significant portion of SNAP benefits are spent on “ultra-sugary drinks” that offer minimal nutrition, according to Fang.

 

We shouldn’t be subsidizing people to eat poison,” Kennedy told Fox News host Laura Ingraham.

 

In another interview with podcaster Michael Knowles, Kennedy said, “If you want a Coca-Cola, you ought to be able to get one and we have no objection to that.” But taxpayer money intended to feed low-income children shouldn’t be used for sugary soda “which is giving them diabetes.”

 

Kennedy said taxpayers foot the bill twice, when Medicare funds then go to cover healthcare for people with chronic diseases.

 

The proposed reforms have gained popular support, particularly from conservatives, who tend to favor cuts to welfare programs, according to Substack writer Will Sommer.

 

But shortly after Kennedy publicly made his case, several high-profile conservative accounts began criticizing the reforms, denouncing Kennedy’s “war on soda.”

 

According to Sommer:

 

“A wave of MAGA types started to take the pro-soda position. In similarly worded posts, Cheong, Prather, Daugherty, popular MAGA meme account ‘Clown World,’ and other X users with big followings said it was unfair for the government to tell recipients how to spend their food-stamp money.

 

“‘Is Mountain Dew nutritious and life-giving?’ posted Kevin Posobiec, a pro-Trump figure best known for being the brother of pundit Jack Posobiec, in a since-deleted post on X. ‘No. But freedom of choice is.’

 

“A number of the posts focused on the fact that Donald Trump himself drinks Diet Coke — the implicit suggestion being that it would be horribly wrong to tell the president that he can’t drink his soda.

 

“‘President Trump literally has a Diet Coke button in his Oval Office,’ wrote Daugherty.”

 

Many of the posts had near-identical messages, Fang wrote. Blake Marnell, a pro-Trump anchor whose X handle is Brick Suit, first pointed out the similarities on X. Then Turning Point USA’s Riley Gaines posted that she was offered money to make similar posts, but declined.

 

Sorter found messages that included templates provided by Influenceable to influencers in what he said was an attempt “to turn MAGA folks against RFK Jr. and MAHA” — Make America Healthy Again.

 

After Sorter outed the influencers on X, Daugherty confirmed the allegations, posting on X, “Yeah, that was dumb of me. Massive egg on my face. In all seriousness, it won’t happen again.”

 

Sorter also said this was a playbook, often used by soda industry lobbying firms like American Beverage and Cart Choice. This led some people to mistakenly report that American Beverage was behind the scheme, which the firm denies.

 

American Beverage was caught in 2023 paying off dieticians to promote sugar and aspartame to kids on Instagram.

 

Fang similarly noted this tactic revealed a “longstanding pattern in the beverage industry’s approach to policy debates over sugary drinks.” For example, the industry has funded scientists to persuade people to focus on exercise instead of calorie intake for weight loss strategies.

 

When San Francisco proposed taxes on sweetened beverages, Big Soda paid protestors to attend anti-tax rallies and argue the tax would disproportionately harm minority communities, Fang wrote.

 

The industry used similar tactics in New York, where Coca-Cola funded the NAACP and the Hispanic Federation, which then promoted similar arguments when the city proposed a soda tax.

 

Fang also reported that the industry targets organizations focused on children’s health. For example, Coca-Cola has given nearly $3 million to the American Academy of Pediatrics over six years, and the organization stayed silent during contentious policy debates over sugary drinks.

 

Save the Children, which supported a soda tax in the past, changed its position when it sought grants from soda producers, including $5 million from PepsiCo.

 

Health reporter Nina Teicholz commented on the influencer grift on her Substack. She said she wasn’t surprised. “But I do wonder why conservative influencers, some with more than 1M followers each, would sell their credibility for so little cash. Only $1,000 to sell your soul?”

 

Concluding Remarks

 

Please do not be naive. Big food, Big Pharma, Big Ag, the Democrat party, and a multitude of leftist organizations and NGOs are actively deploying Fifth Generation Warfare tactics to divide and conquer the Make America Healthy Again movement, and specifically to delegitimize and neutralize both Secretary Kennedy and President Trump’s HHS appointees. Do you really think that you can defeat the most powerful organizations in the world by yelling at people online, gaslighting, and calling them names? Let’s resolve to all try not to help our opponents achieve their objectives?

 

I beg you. When online, please be sure to act like a mature adult. No matter how pissed off you may be at someone. Don’t let your passion or anger get the better of you. When you interact on social media, this is often done to influence others. Avoid witch hunts, no matter how important the cause. Remember that you are acting as both a role model and an ambassador for your cause. Be like Sun Tzu’s Commander and not like Machiavelli’s Prince. Choose your words wisely. Others are watching and are judging your cause by your actions and words.

 

Washington DC is functionally the Imperial Capital of the world, and DC politics are the big league. If you are going to gird your loins and enter the big league PsyWar battlefield, remember that you may think you are a player, but more likely than not you are going to get played. So get smart, and maintain professionalism, balance, humility and decorum. You are an idea ambassador, so act the part.

 

And if you can’t run with the Big Dogs, then stay on the porch.
