Driven by huge taxpayer investment, especially via military spending, the US government has placed a large emphasis on censorship and media manipulation in the information wars, moving away from kinetic warfare.

(LifeSiteNews) —The censorship of dissenting views in Western societies over the last four years has raised questions about why governments, instead of serving the public, have attacked citizens not willing to comply with the official “narrative.”

One way to shed light on the reasons why is to follow the money: examine the financial incentives rather than what the state’s motives are. The latter often remains opaque. Those with malign or sinister intentions are rarely honest about what they are doing; often they even lie to themselves.

Big Pharma’s profiteering from manipulating health agencies and the media has been well documented, but a far bigger revenue stream is U.S. military spending, which is stratospheric. It is estimated that the annual outlays come to about $1.5 trillion (USD), double the reported figure. It is twice what the U.S. Congress spends annually on all non-military purposes combined.

Over the last decade there has been a change in U.S. military doctrine, which has affected how those massive funds are directed. It is called Fifth Generation Warfare (5GW). The theory is that instead of fighting kinetic wars, the focus should be on information and perception, as refracted through legacy media, social media, and other channels of influence.

Modern conflicts, according to this view, are won by controlling information. General Michael Flynn, for example, authored Introduction to 5GW (the Citizens’ Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare), “to prepare Americans and freedom loving people everywhere for our current global wartime reality that few understand.” The assumption is that warfare has changed and moved into a more intangible arena.

Former State Department diplomat Mike Benz, in an interview with Tucker Carlson, has explained in detail how this new type of military thinking was turned on the citizenry. Benz pointed out that the internet from its inception was an instrument of statecraft. “Google began as a DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) grant… they got their funding as part of a joint CIA/NSA program to chart how ‘birds of a feather flock together online’ through search engine aggregation. And then one year later they launched Google and then became a military contractor.”

At first, according to Benz, free speech was championed by the military as a way to support dissident groups around the world in order to “overthrow governments that were causing a problem to the Clinton administration or the Bush administration or the Obama administration.”

It was thought to be a cheap way of conducting war. “You don’t need to win military skirmishes to take over central and eastern Europe. All you need to do is control the media and the social media ecosystem because that’s what controls elections.”

The counter-coup in the eastern regions of Ukraine in 2014, and in 2016 Brexit and the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president, altered the military’s view, according to Benz. NATO came to believe that “the entire rules-based international order would collapse unless the military took control over media. From their perspective, if the military did not begin to censor the internet, all of the democratic institutions and infrastructure that gave rise to the modern world after World War II would collapse.”

The COVID-19 response, including lockdowns, censorship, and mandated vaccines, was also a military funded program focused on controlling public information and perception. That is why from a health perspective it made very little sense. It was effectively a biowarfare response run in conjunction with Big Pharma.

As the Australian senator Malcolm Roberts explained in a telling speech, Australia, the U.K., Canada, and the U.S. had signed the Medical Countermeasures Consortium (in Australia’s case in 2012). Roberts described it as “a military-pharmaceutical apparatus,” the main focus of which was to suppress any dissenting views using sophisticated techniques of influence.

The big pools of money used to execute the mandated inoculations also came from the military. Operation Warp Speed – the U.S. vaccine program – was funded, distributed, and owned by the Pentagon. Department of Defense subcontractors made what was in the vials.

The upshot is that Western governments have in effect turned the militaries on their own people, a kind of clandestine military coup. Benz describes it as military rule. “What they essentially said is we need to redefine democracy from being about the will of the voters to being about the sanctity of democratic institutions.” That is, in order to protect democracy it is necessary to stop democracy.

The military’s weaponization of information may be coming to an end, or at least may no longer be the main focus. The brutal, attritional battle in Ukraine has demonstrated that the theory of Fifth Generation Warfare is a blind alley. Warfare has not changed at all.

What is happening in Ukraine is something of a combination of the horrors of World War I and Star Wars: precision guided missiles operated from space. That makes it more like a technologically updated version of Second Generation Warfare.

As in previous industrial-era wars whoever has the best manufacturing capacity wins. Russia can outproduce NATO by about three times in weaponry and material, despite spending less than 5 percent of America’s military budget. Russia also has a lead in missile technology and has some air defences where America has none.

As militaries in the West are forced to acknowledge they have fallen behind the emphasis on manipulating information through propaganda and censorship seems certain to fade away. The only thing Russia has lost in the Ukraine conflict is the propaganda war, but it means nothing because information control is only a sideshow in a serious conflict

Facing up to that emerging military reality will be slow. One of the ironies of Fifth Generation Warfare is that you start to believe your own lies. Nevertheless, concern will eventually turn to catching up with Russia in kinetic military technology, a process that will take decades and be expensive.

From the perspective of civilians in Western countries it hopefully means that the heavy funding of propaganda and censorship will start to slow. Controlling information is labour intensive and costly. The money needed to hire professional liars and invest in the technology used to impose the “narrative” on the public is substantial. If funding starts to dry up it may mean citizens become less subject to targeting by the militaries that they fund.

Focus will inevitably shift to America’s failure to maintain an advantage in modern warfare, which, it is now clear, is heavily dependent on the use of various types of projectiles: missiles, drones, bombs. Remaining invisible from space is also a priority, which means the techniques of manoeuvre used in Third Generation Warfare do not work.

Militaries need an enemy, especially in the U.S. where it is key to maintaining the financial excesses. Hopefully in future that enemy will stop being people in their own countries.

She fled the war in Ukraine only to get stabbed for no reason in Germany by an Afghan migrant.

A 19-year-old Afghan migrant has brutally stabbed a Ukrainian refugee woman who was sitting on a park bench in Frankfurt, resulting in serious injuries to the 41-year-old woman. 

The victim was stabbed in her head, neck and in her behind with a box cutter, according to the public prosecutor. She was able to flee the scene, but then stumbled onto the ground a few meters away from the bench, at which point the Afghan man continued to stab her while she laid on the ground.

Witnesses rushed to help the woman, at which point the attacker fled the scene. The police searched the area and found the Afghan, identified as Mohammad Zaman A., hiding in a bush nearby. He was arrested and charged with attempted murder and other offenses. The weapon used in the attack was found in his possession, according to police.

Witnesses applied first-aid to the victim, and she was transported to the hospital with severe injuries. 

“The civil courage of the passers-by is particularly worthy of praise. This and the excellent police work led to the quick arrest of the suspect, which may have prevented something worse from happening,” said Senior Public Prosecutor Dominik Mies.

At this time, it remains unclear why he targeted the woman.

As Bild newspaper reported, the woman fled to Germany due to the outbreak of war in Ukraine.

Germany has seen a dramatic rise in violent crime due to mass immigration, with foreigners responsible for 41 percent of all crime in 2023, a record high. Furthermore, there were 8,951 injuries due to knife attacks in 2023, up dramatically from 7,071 in 2021. There was.a record amount of violent crime in 2023, with foreigners responsible for 6 in 10 attacks.

The stabbing attack follows a wave of rapes and assaults directed against Ukrainian refugees, who, compared to other migrant groups from North Africa and the Middle East, have far lower crime rates.

Notably, a Ukrainian refugee teen basketball player was stabbed to death by a gang of Arabs “just for being Ukrainian earlier this year.

In 2022, a Jordanian migrant stabbed a 21-year-old Ukrainian refugee woman and then went on calmly to eat bratwurst and French fries after the attack.

President Emmanuel Macron, who recently called a snap election to save his leadership is now saying he won’t resign even if he loses. The globlaist president dissolved the national parliament and called for fresh French […]

Martha-Ann Alito revealed she wants a ‘Sacred Heart of Jesus flag’ and a flag with flames and the Italian word for ‘shame’ on it to protest LGBT ‘pride’ flags during June, according to a left-wing activist who reportedly recorded Alito without her knowledge.

(LifeSiteNews) — Martha-Ann Alito, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, reportedly said she wants a “Sacred Heart of Jesus flag” to counter homosexual “pride” flags on display during the month of June.

Far-left journalist Lauren Windsor posed undercover as a conservative as she recorded a conversation with Mrs. Alito during a dinner reception hosted by the Supreme Court Historical Society last week, in an attempt at a hit piece on her husband.

Before Windsor finished her suggestion that conservatives need to “win” in order to take America back to “a godly place,” Mrs. Alito said, “You know what I want? I want a Sacred Heart of Jesus flag, because I have to look across the lagoon at the ‘pride’ flag for the next month.”

Referring to her husband, Mrs. Alito said, “He’s like, ‘Oh, please don’t put up a flag.’ I said, ‘I won’t do it because I am deferring to you. But when you are free of this nonsense, I’m putting it up and I’m gonna send them a message every day, maybe every week, I’ll be changing the flags.’ They’ll be all kinds.”

She went on to describe a flag she envisioned with the Italian word for “shame” on it, apparently in response to widespread rainbow “pride” flags during June.  

“I made a flag in my head. This is how I satisfy myself. I made a flag. It’s white and has yellow and orange flames around it. And in the middle is the word ‘vergogna.’ ‘Vergogna’ in Italian means shame — vergogna. V-E-R-G-O-G-N-A. Vergogna,” she said, adding, “Shame, shame, shame on you.”

Liberal media outlets have taken aim at Alito for flags flown outside his homes over the past few years, including an upside-down American flag flown outside the Alitos’ Virginia house, a signal used by some Trump supporters to protest the stolen 2020 presidential election. Liberals have also been in uproar over an “Appeal to Heaven” flag flown outside the Alitos’ New Jersey beach house, which traces back to the American Revolution and is now criticized by liberals for being associated with the pro-Trump “Stop the Steal” movement.

In May, Alito said the flags were flown by his wife, writing, “My wife is fond of flying flags. I am not.”

There is a growing movement by Catholics to display flags depicting the Sacred Heart of Jesus in lieu of “pride” flags during the month of June, to signal support of the reign of Christ the King in society. A video of the largest Sacred Heart flag in the world went viral on social media last week, displayed by the century-old company Bavarian Waste. When you visit Bavarian’s website, a pop-up ad appears explaining that “the Sacred Heart of Jesus symbolizes His infinite love and mercy towards humanity.”

“We’ve sorted it out! Agreement on everything! A new cabinet,” Wilders wrote on X.

A right-wing Dutch cabinet is ready to take up its duties after almost seven months of negotiations, PVV leader and election winner Geert Wilders announced on Tuesday afternoon.

“We’ve sorted it out! Agreement on everything! A new cabinet,” Wilders wrote on X. 

In May, Wilders’ nationalist PVV party reached an agreement to form a coalition with three other conservative parties. They had, however, not yet agreed on cabinet posts.

While there has not been an official announcement, state-funded NOS reports that Geert Wilders’ anti-islamist and anti-mass migration PVV will supply five out of the 15 ministers—most importantly, the minister for migration.

MP Gidi Markuszower is reported to be the new migration minister. For years, Markuszower has been the spokesman for what has been one of the party’s core issues. He will now be tasked with reaching the ambitious goals the new cabinet has set for itself in stemming the flow of migration. 

PVV’s Fleur Agema has been appointed as Health Care Minister—another key issue for the party. Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, Economic Affairs, and Infrastructure go to other PVV members, as yet unnamed.

In addition, the party will provide four state secretaries on Health Care, Justice, Interior Affairs, and Infrastructure.

Outgoing Prime Minister Mark Van Rutte’s VVD will supply four ministers:

• Finance: Unknown
• Justice: David van Weel
• Defense: Ruben Brekelmans
• Climate: Sophie Hermans

The PVV will supply three state secretaries for Education, Social Affairs and Health, Welfare, and Sport.

The center-right NSC will also provide four ministers:

• Home Affairs: Unknown
• Foreign Affairs: Casper Veldkamp
• Social Affairs: Eddy van Hijum
• Education: Unknown

In addition, NSC will provide two state secretaries on Finance (Folkert Idsinga) and on Justice (Unknown).

The agrarian populist BBB provides two ministers:

• Agriculture and Fisheries: Unknown
• Housing: Mona Keijzer

The position of Minister of Nitrogen and Nature, which was conceived under the Rutte IV administration, will disappear—a clear win for the BBB, which got most of its support from Dutch farmers and sympathizers who saw the group as being unfairly targeted by their government in its efforts to reduce nitrogen emissions.

In addition, BBB is to provide two state secretaries on Agriculture and Defense.

Gidi Markuszower (PVV), Sophie Hermans (of the liberal VVD), Eddy van Hijum (of the center-right NSC) and Mona Keijzer (of the agrarian populist BBB) will be supporting Schoof as deputy prime ministers.

In total, there will be 15 ministers and 12 or 13 state secretaries.

The news follows the appointment by all four coalition partners of the non-politically- affiliated Dick Schoof as new Prime Minister earlier this month.

Schoof, 67, was the senior official at the Dutch justice ministry until last month after having led the Dutch intelligence agency AIVD and anti-terrorism agency NCTV for years. 

Before any official announcement of how the ministerial posts will have been distributed among the parties, formalities must be observed. 

Each candidate is required to go through a screening process. Only when this is done, and each candidate is cleared, can they collectively have their picture taken with Dutch king Willem-Alexander on the palace steps, as is customary.
