Fourth-Generation devastation: The West has been targeted in a decades-long psychological war
WHEN I first encountered the concept of fourth-generation warfare around 20 years ago, I was studying the basics of propaganda and how it works.
While the core issue is deeply disturbing on a number of levels, I also found it fascinating the ways in which governments and the rulers have endeavoured to control the masses while at the same time trying to avoid direct confrontation whenever possible.
With the advent of civilian populations armed with military-grade weaponry and familiar with the training required for combat, the rulers realised (post-American Revolution) that dominating the public with military might was no longer a sure bet. They had to engage in a new kind of warfare using psychological attacks until they could weaken and disarm the populace. The new system of oppressing was about mental coercion; to make people believe that the authoritarian ideal is inevitable.
One part of this strategy involves using economic leverage for social engineering. A hundred years ago, it was more about banks creating an endless series of debt mechanisms and controlling the issuance of currencies. Today, corporate oligarchs are expanding - they want to change the very nature of money through central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). By extension, they are also influencing public behavior by attaching social justice ideology to economic participation through ESG (environment, social and governance).
In other words, if you want to have access to credit or money, and have the ability to compete in the new 'inclusive' marketplace, you will have to bow to the woke religion. If you refuse, your access to trade could be shut down completely and you and your family could starve.
