Narrative Warfare: Both Imperial Networks Threw Out A Lot Of Tells

The week after Syria's fall proved illuminating, but not for the reason you may think.

No, it revealed whom among the media operators outside the Thralls of Empire in the various Imperial media institutions were Thralls and which were not.

There are two networks of "independent" media channels, one serving Globohomo and the other serving the Red Dynasty (but mistaken as Neo-Tsarist). These are assets and agents waging Narrative Warfare for their Imperial masters. The competent ones will avoid outright bullshitting, preferring omission and attention management instead; they won't lie to you, but they won't give you the full truth or put a lot of focus upon what they want to conceal. The incompetent and desperate flat out lie, and it's the eruption of the latter that's been telling this week.

Let's start with the latter.

This group I call "The CCP Shillsphere", and it comprises most of the pro-Russian channels and social media accounts. The reason for the label? These people can, have, and do talk shit about Putin and Moscow and Russian operations from time to time; they never say one damned thing criticizng Xi Jinping, the CCP, the PLA, or any of their operations- it's all glowing praise. That is the tell.

Not all people in this sphere know they're being used. As with Globohomo, most of them are useful idiots used as assets for the handful that are agents.

• The New Atlas (Agent; Berletic is in Thailand, which is significantly infiltrated by CCP Intelligence, so he can easily be turned and run by a PLA Case Officer)
• George Galloway (Agent; he's been a professional contrarian for the whole of his adult life and thus easily approached to be run)
• The Duran (Assets; both men are dissidents but lack discernment and thus can be easily suckered by someone like Berletic)
• Gonzalo Lira (Asset; proven by how readily he was exploited by The Duran, Galloway, Berletic, and then cut loose the instant he gets into serious trouble)
• Danny Haiphong (Asset; earnest man, but naive, easily suckered)
• Richard Medihurst (Asset; butthurt Third Worlders are easily suckered into being disposable tools for Imperial networks)
• Neutrality Studies (Asset; anxious, naricisstic academics are the classic Useful Idiot)
• Garland Nixon (Asset; he wants to be like Galloway, so easily sucked into the net)
• Mark Sleboda (Asset; he wants to be part of the same game as the pro-Globohomo academic/journo/offcial set but got denied, so he's butthurt)
• DDGeoPoltics: See The Duran (applies to Ritter, MacGregor, Judge Napolitano, and others around The Duran also)
• Aussie Cossack: See Galloway, but he ain't getting paid.
• Redacted (Asset; dissident MSM journos in exile took a good deal to keep their indie outfit going without worrying about Google, but that deal was with an Agent with a minder)

Don't think I left Globohomo out. They operate differently because they don't need minders like the Shillsphere does; Google, the MSM, Facebook, etc. do all of that so there is no need for a Spook to be minding a key Agent, through which they manage the vast influence network like the Shillsphere. NONE of these people (well, maybe Ward) are under any active Intelligence management; those functions are baked into Western social media, getting the same results without the Glowies needing to do anything, as Mike Benz explained.

The tell for a pro-Globohomo outlet is being openly anti-Russian/Chinese to a stupid degree, but due to how Globohomo set this all up there is no need for them to lie. This is a real example of Structural Advantage being a thing; they are rewarded for willingly (actively or passively) promoting the Globohomo line.

• Task & Purpose: MIC shill
• Sandboxx: MIC Shill
• The Enforcer: Pro-Globohomo and not shy about it.
• Business Basics: Pro-Globohomo
• Caspian Report: Pro-Globohomo
• Good Times Bad Times: Pro-Globohomo
• Ward Caroll: Ex-military; backchannel disclosure asset (and may be actively managed)
• Pyotr Kurzin: Asset (Russian dissidents are particularly effective for Globohomo due to being bi-lingual and personally familiar with how Russia works; they don't need to lie to be effective propagandists.)
• INSIDE RUSSIA: Asset (Konstantin's business talk and demonstration of Christian faith is very effective against Western audiences.)
• Vlad Vexler: Russian liberal intellectual in exile. He needed no prodding to operate as an influencer.
• Natasha's Adventures (She, and other female Russian dissidents, are very effective; don't need to talk politics much, so her influence effectiveness is strong because she wants you to like her, so by extension if Putin goes down and she can go home again she can be happy and maybe you can meet someone like her there. Very effective; just ask The Filipina Pea, who pulls this stunt actively to promote the Phillipines.)
• Eli From Russia: See above
• Yuli's Russia: See above
• NFKRZ: Asset (Russia liberal Chill Dude Bro, apolitical, which makes him pro-Globohomo by default and his relatability and sincerity makes him effective as an influencer.)

"But what about the Lines On Maps cohort?"

The biggest tell about this group being more or less (they have their biases) okay is that (a) they revise their takes as information comes in, and (b) they show the lines on the maps and (for the better ones) how they geolocated the movements they report (i.e. provide receipts).

• Defense Politics Asia (biased against Globohomo)
• Military Summary (biased towards Russia)
• History Legends (slight Russian bias)
• William Spanel (professionally pro-Globohomo)
• Michael De La Broc (neutral)
• S2 Underground (neutral)

The Takeaway: If you do not need an Imperial-aligned outlet in your feed, cull it; stick only to those that show their receipts so you can verify claims yourself.

The Game: They will target known issues in your country, in your society, and feed you what you want to hear. Then, once you're paying attention, they will enact Cult Recruitment tactics by emotionally associating what they (correctly) identify as wrong with their proffered alternatives, and the better operators will have a counter-narrative on hand to explain their alternative and why it is superior to what you know.

This is how RT operates in Western media, Voice of America in hostile/neutral media, and other outlets (such as CGTN) do the same thing; the catch? They are all using American techniques to do this. Techniques that were pioneered over a century ago during World War I on Madison Avenue in New York by the co-founders of Public Relations: Edward Bernays and Walter Lippman. (Not a surprise, as all they did was to secularlize old esoteric practices.)

They are dealing in using Psychological Operations to get your to lower your guard, through which they cram in Infohazards that scramble your reasoning and render you open to reprogramming into a cult devotee- a True Believer. This is what a lot of the Assets look and sound like because they are. ("Which side?" "Yes.")

Knowing the tells of a cult programmer is knowing the tells of a political propagandist is knowing the tells of an abusive relationship because they are the same thing. Being free and sovereign starts between your ears: learn Friend/Enemy Distinction, learn how and when to determine the Exception, and reclaim your mind. Without it, you cannot win.

Empire Must Fall.

P.S.: For those, like the Syrian Girl, who've had a very bad time of things as of late you will note that I left those like her out. That's because people like her are pro-Syria (i.e. pro-Assad) and everything else second; these people will align with whomever, go on with whomever, etc. so long as they believe that it advances their cause. Whaever else may be said of them, they are an earnest and sincere cohort in their aims even if they are ineffective, incompetent, and tragic falures in their efforts because they do not (either due to ignorance of nescience) know how power really works. (Hint: You are considere Useful Idiots to be used and tossed by Imperial powers because you have no power of your own to wield; users don't fear their tools.)

Do your mourning, then go look in the mirror. There is no one coming to restore your country. You're on your own. Either you do what it takes to win or suffer the yoke- and, to date, you have not even tried.

Globohomo Gets Another Win (In Syria)

What I had intended to write for this week got pre-empted by what just went down in Syria this past week.

This development caught everyone in OSINT off-guard, and they weren't the only ones.

And if you need it spelled out in Black & White:

Because that's what being subjugated into a vassal state means, and as Syria will become a Turk vassal, Turkey is a (very troublesome and resentful) vassal of Globohomo.

Who loses here? Russia and Iran. Who wins here (besides Turkey)? Israel, first and foremost, followed by the United States, the members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman), and then the rest of NATO (and thus the EU and associated European states).

By extension, China also loses because of the second-order consequences of Russia and Iran getting their shit pushed in.

"But how? That video isn't enough." No worries, I got you.

With media reports pronouncing the end of the Assad regime, many are wondering how the hell this happened. After all, Assad survived the chaotic events of the 2010s – what makes this time different?

A knowledgeable friend offers the following explanation: pic.twitter.com/S666ivYQly

— Patrick Casey (@restoreorderusa) December 8, 2024

This doesn't paint a prestigious or powerful picture of Bashar Assad or his government. That is unfortunate, as being one of them is required to stay in power in peacetime and both is required for wartime- and Syria's been at war for many, many years.

For many supporting him, this is not a happy time. Globohomo's proxies will certain turn their guns on each other once the Assad regime is totally eliminiated, meaning that this civil war will not end anytime soon unless and until the Imperial parties successfully yank the leashes on those proxies and bring them to heel; that is far from a certain thing in this area of the world.

Either after the second round of fighting concludes, or it is pre-empted by the Patrons reining in their Clients, what will follow will not be a rebuilding and revitalization of Syria for Syrians. It will be the imposition of a defacto Imperial occupation regime organized specifically to loot the country of its resources and the Syrian nation (what remains of it) of its wealth while building up a buffer state to use against rival Imperial powers (i.e. vs Russia, China, and India).

There is one other thing to take away from this development: this move came about because the Syrian regime got hollowed out as a direct result of sustained economic sanctions for years on end. In gaming terms, this means keeping the mob tied down with Crowd Control while loading it up with Damage Over Time effects and sustaining those DOTs over that long duration of time until it was too weak to fight back anymore.

What does this mean? This is what awaits Russia and China. Russia is much further along the Tank-and-DOT strategy, but China is already seriously weakened due to the DOTs already inflicted upon it and recent events show that this stress is forcing the Red Dynasty into a power struggle.

This is the Mithridates Strategy in action. Syria has proven that it works. It's working on Russia. It's working on China. It's working everywhere that is not already proofed against it- and nowhere is, which is why it's working. (Yes, this means that Vox Day is wrong, as are all the others saying that Russia/China/BRICS will beat Globohomo. Deal with it; the facts are what they are.)

Globohomo will not fall from without. It can only be taken from within- only by the Men of the West, who are proofing themselves against it.

So yes, this is a win for Globohomo, but every win exposes more of how Globohomo works to those with eyes to see- and more can now than before. Empire Must Fall.

Narrative Warfare: The Swerve From Two-Tier Kier

(A tip of the hat to Academic Agent for mentioning this on Twitter.)

First, let's let AA set the scene.

The Dark Lord lurks! Skulking in the shadows. This has happened quite suddenly. Starmbot is not smart enough to do this alone. https://t.co/K08IJO0yLN

— OG Roland Rat ☕️ (@OGRolandRat) November 30, 2024

What did Two-Tier Kier do that had AA immediately say that this is Tony Blair's doing, using Kier as a puppet for his actions?

Why, it was this astounding public confession:

Holy. Shit.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer just admitted that Western leaders have been running an “open borders experiment”…

"This happened by design, not accident. Immigration policies were reformed deliberately. It has been a failure. They pretended it wasn’t happening.” pic.twitter.com/vHVibQnG38

— Geiger Capital (@Geiger_Capital) November 29, 2024

This man is Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

No sooner did he come into office last Summer than he immediately doubled-down on all the pro-Globohomo oppression of the British nations objecting and protesting the clear favortism of the very illegals his predecessor, his party, and his predecessor's party (all Globohomo Thralls of Empire, so this is all just squabbling over spoils) especially after one of them knifed a British girl to death.

That didn't go well.

While he used State power to repress the outrage and jail as many as he could, releasing illegal prisoners to make room for them, all of this was a Public Relations nightmare for his and got him his nickname as he openly used two-tier policing where all could see it in action.

Rather than maintain the charade that (a) illegal immigration is not happening and it's Muh Far-Right Conspiracy, and because (b) legal(ized) hostile aliens (Pajeets in particular) are openly saying this is revenge for past British colonization, Kier came out with that public statement because political enemies at home and abroad are successfully using his own incompetence to outflank him and undermine Globohomo in the UK.

The decision likely got finalized after Trump won the White House; he would not be so pressured if Heels-Up Harris scammed out a win.

What this admission does, and how he framed it as an all-Tory affair (denying all Labour involvement with this), is an attempt to do the Microsoft 3E Strategy: Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

Notice that he's using terms popularized by Mike Benz ("Blob") and Tucker Carlson (everything else), and they in turn took them from the Dissident Right. He will do to those terms what the bitch-tier Globohomo Thralls did to "grifter": overuse and overextend those terms until they fit the new definitions he puts to them via Frame Game manipulations. You already seen it in how he reframes the Great Replacement as a Tory-only thing.

That's the swerve: to do a Limited Hangout operation, make the rival Thralls take the fall, and reframe the Narrative back into control so the enemies of the Regime in the UK are again closed out of the Narrative and thus have no viable route to power via peaceful means, which means the framing of them as "potentially violent" extremists that need to be taken out pre-emptively remains.

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

Devilish of Blair, if he's the man that AA says he is ("The Dark Lord"), because someone's doing this and Two-Tier Kier ain't got the power in his brainmeats to do this on his own. This is an intent to seize the issue from the enemy, do enough performative Remigration to shut up the masses, and then continue on doing the thing behind the scenes.

Empire Must Fall.

Frame Game Radio & The US State Department's Role In Empire

Remember Frame Game Radio?

That was Mike Benz. Now exposed, he's counterpunched by going public and talking at length about how Globohomo's Narrative Warfare mechanism works. Below is a primer, from which you can follow on to the rest of Mike's posts on Twitter and his other interviews.

You can follow Mike's claims on your own to verify them; he has the receipts and he shares them.

For some of you dissidents, Mike's absolute position on Free Speech on the Internet is a turnoff. Stow that shit away. He is telling you how the enemy works, and how long they've had to figure out how to make it work, and explaining to you why they work the way that they do. This is a massive win for dissidents, and you are retarded not to take it.

Mike's other interviews and Twitter streams will enhance your comprehension of what he presents above. Follow that up, take notes, find the patterns, map that pattern to past and present events, and you'll get something you can use--intelligence you can act upon--to counter not only Globohomo but (as the rival empires copy Globohomo's lead) all of the rival Thralls' attempt to become the hegemon in turn.

You want someone giving you info you can use? There's a man giving it out.

Narrative Warfare: There Is No Return To Fresh Prince, Only To Its Skinsuit

Following up from last week, the based Boer known as The Aristocratic Utensil sums up the present state of the dispute between Academic Agent and Auron MacIntyre.

My take is simple: we are one week, nearly two, out from Trump winning and the Globohomo Thralls have not come to a consensus yet.

In the meantime, there are pockets of Thralls concentrated on immediate threats to their positions and privledges and not to the wider consensus-building effort. Once those immediate concerns are sorted, then we'll find out which way this goes.

I am skeptical of AA's Power-As-Primary position because being Le Donor Class means nothing without teeth, like a judiciary unable to enforces its rulings. This is why I find the useful labeling to be Merchants and Golems; the Merchants are the Power, while the Golems are the Ideology.

The problem with Golems is that they tend to run amok if not strictly controlled, something Merchants (not being Warriors, and thus lacking the character required to do so) turn out to be bad at doing as they consider it bitchwork. (They love themselves some automation for that reason.) The problem with the Merchants is that when they do yank on those very chains, they over-react and thus lay the groundwork for the next Golem revolt.

"So what are they going to do?"

What they did when the previous push flamed out: go back underground. Keep it quiet. Keep it out of the public eye. Bide their time.

"Be kind" is the code phrase for "keep it on the down-low".

This is not putting the Woke away; this is fallback to a prepared secondary position, rally there, and then come back stronger to retake lost ground and push further anew.

That’s not how this works.

They won’t disappear just because they are not in office.

There will still be drag queen story hour.

There will still be trannies trying to indoctrinate your kids to go on hormone blockers.

There is still plenty of anti-White hate.

The fight is far… https://t.co/W0UkVmSzJp

— Henrik Palmgren 🇸🇪 ᛟ (@Henrik_Palmgren) November 17, 2024

It's not over. Auron will, ultimately, win this bet because he's read the Death Cult right. There is no return to Fresh Prince. There is only the Death Cult using it as a skinsuit to try again.

The U.S. Election, Power, Ideology, And Which Is Primary.

This past week, the American Nation defeated the Globohomo Thralls' attempt to keep the God-Emperor away from the Golden Throne. Donald Trump won again.

The post-mortems are flying around furiously on all sides, but I want to focus your attention to Auron MacIntyre and Academic Agent. They have had, and still have, a difference of opinion on which is primary: Power or Ideology.

Below I'll embed their respective videos where they touch on this in the context of the election and the responses by the Globohomo Thralls of Empire. AA also cut an article for his Substack publication on the matter, which is worth a read.

As of this point, AA's explanation has the superior pile of receipts backing it up while Auron--aside from his valid point on non-falsifibility--was lacking until today's Regime Media clips started making the rounds proving Auron's point on Ideology being primary.

But AA's argument has a cornerstone that Auron not only cannot refute, but already accepts as correct and agrees upon: that what matters is the better-organized and supplied elite cohort, and the elite faction backing Trump was that cohort while the faction backing Biden was not. Furthermore, that losing faction acknowledged its inferior state by its action- by its deeds. AA's Jobber Hypothesis got confirmed by events.

What neither man mentioned explicitly, but Auron said implicitly, is that the Globohomo Thralls can accept the cost of replacing their man with a Jobber because they have control over the institutions of the United States and much of the Western world generally. They have a fallback position. From that position they can rally, regroup, organize, and execute a counter-strategy from a position of strength.

This is what people like Mike Cernovich, Milo, Douglas Mackey, Elon Musk, etc. are pointing out now consistently as the down-ballot races (and the fuckery therein) gets sorted. AA's position on Power being primary ignores the motivating and animating power of Ideology, believing ultimately that the end of Globohomo's Thralls is power itself and ideology is just a tool to use to get/keep/expand that power. Auron's position is that Ideology is primary because that determines the end, to which power is just the means to get those ends to manifest.

What I see is that these are, as AA implies, two rival cohorts dealing with a third cohort backing Trump and his coalition. The Power faction are the Zionists. The Ideology faction are the anti-Zionists, as that's how the Power/Ideology question is playing out between them.

The Ideology faction, when dominant, imposes its dystopian Theocratic regime upon those whom it subjugates. This is why you get all the humiliation rituals, the Friend/Enemy distinction so stark and obvious even Carl Schimdt says you're overdoing it (which is also why Muh Hypocrisy doesn't even phases them; you don't treat Friends as Enemies and vice-versa), the naked displays of petty power-tripping coupled by abject victim-performativism when they lose like they're Starscream out of Transformers. For all their performative Theater Kid bullshit, they are True Believers and thus religious fanatics so there are no brakes on their train

The Power faction, when dominant, plays Good Cop (them)/Bad Cop (Ideology) with the subjugated population. This is where AA gets "The Woke Gets Put Away" and thinks that Power always wins and Ideology is just a tool- for Power it is and they do "If you don't do as I say, I can't guarantee that these insane lunatics won't harm you" in the most naked form of Protection Racket fuckery around.

What Auron doesn't get is that Ideology fumbles power because they are driven by their fanaticism to pursue its ends no matter the costs, costs which squanders power when they have it. Because it wastes power like a teenager handed an inheritance of billions and no one around to stop them from going on a massive spending bender, Ideology rarely lasts in power if there is a rival cohort ready to pounce and able to succeed- and martyrdom, believe it or not, is not the trump card believers think it is.

What AA doesn't get is that Power gets seized by ideology when it misreads its ability to contain and control it, ending up being eaten by their own pets, because naked pursuit of power as the end in itself only appeals to Psychopaths and Sociopaths and most people Just Can't Even into that so they end up taken by ideology because of its greater power to justify action and thus power.

Yes, you need both, and that means you need an elite cohort that comprehends what Power is and how it works as well as what Ideology is (i.e. Narrative) and how it works- and why any ruling elite must have mastery of both to take and hold power long-term.

This is not a question of "Which matters?" but rather a question of "How do you mix them together to get the synthesis that is required to achieve long-term success?"

Until AA and Auron come to that point, they will continue to talk past each other and both will end up falling short of achieving the mission that they set for themselves.

---

N.B.: The reason martyrdom isn't a trump card is that it relies on the ability to report the events leading to that event to others. In short, it is wide open to Narrative Warfare, and if you think such events can't be recast by enemies to--at worst--not serve believers' interests then I remind you of how many who died for their beliefs are regarded today- with scorn and contempt. That, however, is worthy of a massive post to itself as control over the narratives of martyrdom is itself a theater of war.

Narrative Warfare: A Look At How It's Done Via The Hellmouth Front

This past week one of the many channels on YouTube that tracks Hollywood cut a video about Ryan Reynolds and Bob Iger. This video turned out to be a fantastic example of how Narrative Warfare works in action, so let's take a look at it.

The Channel.

You know by the name that you're not getting someone pretending to be wholly neutral, detached, disinterested, and objective. This is good; a channel that does not hide its point of view in the least is far more honest than someone that fronts as neutral but instead presents a propaganda piece.

This channel is against Globohomo's influence in the Hellmouth and therefore is aimed at attacking Globohomo-held institutions and the individuals that control as well as key subordinates under such command.

Therefore it is reasonable to conclude that a channel like this would, in fact, be a vector for enacting Narrative Warfare attacks against enemies. Don't take this video, or any other on this channel, uncritically; there's stuff here that sounds like hopium mixed into the verifiable facts that mix together to set and frame a preferred Narrative.

The Video

Effective Narrative Warfare attacks work off a core of fact and substance, and what is said here about Reynolds and Iger is not new. It's been all over Hellmouth media (formal and otherwise) for years. Jackman backing Reynolds is also not new. The new part is the possibility of this being the basis for a successful ouster of Bob Iger and his gang.

With how much everything about the business is changing AND how weak the Devil Mouse and Iger Gang are (and it is not getting better), coupled with the general discontent in the public, and you have the possibility of this going from Narrative to Reality quickly if this seems to get sufficient public reception. That's what this is really about: seeing if the idea is attractive enough to execute upon. It's A/B Testing.

Pay attention to the presentation. There are facts put before you, but framed in a manner that creates the intended narrative: a counter-elite willing and able to rally the audience against the ruling elites in charge, because that is necessary to kill the DIE Regime that Globohomo's pushing worldwide in all things.

The Objective

This is not done by Reynolds or anyone in his camp. This is an attempt by parties who are against Iger Gang trying to pressgang someone already known to be frustrated with Iger Gang into a position of leadership by using media manipulation to manuever Reynolds into taking up the proffered role of Public Hero against Iger Gang, knowing that (like all of those business successes mentioned) he is not the driving force- just the front man selling it.

Look at the framing. Constantly mentioning Iger Gang pushing deeply unpopular moves. Constantly mentioning Reynolds' fantastic treatment of the audience, and his successes in other business ventures contrasted with Iger Gang taking the profits to finance unpopular moves as it if were theft, to get the viewer to view Reynolds favorably via sympathetic framing and playing up the potential of Reynolds unfucking Marvel (and Disney) by taking it from Iger Gang as the solution to the present problems.

This is not news. This is propaganda. This is is an advertisement trying to sell you on the idea of Reynolds as a real life cultural hero to save Pop Culture from a known and proven incompetent and/or fanatical Death Cultist by a rival would-be elite that is opposed to Iger Gang such as Nelson Peltz or Bob Chapek.

If this sort of video keeps coming up in different channels, that's when you know it's an organized Narrative Warfare campaign for certain. If it starts getting popular, that's the tell that it is succeeded, and Reynolds' reaction will tell you if he's involved or not.

Conclusion

At this time, I don't think this is Reynolds; maybe someone a few degrees removed are testing this to see if there's demand, and then (if so) Ryan gets tappped and brought in because you don't let the Face run the show if you can help it. Ryan's not stupid, however, and will see the value in doing things like this because it's how he rehabilitated his own image-branding failures years ago into what he is now and others in the Hellmouth are just as savvy. If this goes somewhere, you'll know when others opposed to Iger Gang in both Marvel and Lucasfilm as well as Disney proper start aligning themselves with it (and him).

But, until then, this is just a trial ballon. It's a pilot episode, a pre-vizualization video, a test- an A/B Test. If the target audience likes it, they go with it; if not, they drop it and do something else. Simple as.

That's how basic Narrative Warfare works. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Now try this with all that talk of North Korean troops in Ukraine, the atrocity claims in Gaza, and especially all sorts of election coverage (US this week, UK and EU recently, others to follow). You'll soon see what is there to set a narrative vs. what is there to merely observe and report in a detached and disinterested manner.
