Invisible No More
Zoom today, Noon PT / 3PM ET
Hello friends:
Just a brief reflection this morning. I started this blog over four years ago, and named it after what I saw as a largely invisible psychological war on democracy. Psyops and hybrid warfare operations like Pizzagate, QAnon, the Big Lie, and J6 had a massive impact on American politics—and therefore geopolitics.
This invisible, psychological mind-war has been below the surface for many decades, but became fully operationalized with Donald Trump’s candidacy in 2015.
I wrote this a few days before Russia invaded Ukraine—about 2,000 articles ago.
But now, what was invisible is no longer concealed; what was covert is overt. The entire world is at the mercy of a set of malignant psychopathologies in a single man who has constructed a sealed alternate reality around his wounded ego.
For example, in a moment which could not have passed the smell test in the writers’ room for Veep, Donald Trump and Marco Rubio traveled to Miami to a UFC event Saturday night, while JD Vance failed to achieve anything in Pakistan negotiating with Iran.
These two events happened almost simultaneously.
The war on our collective minds which put us in this situation could only have been perpetrated by people with aberrant psychologies, people who require others to act like themselves: amoral, corrupt, and violent.
Malignant narcissists like Trump, Thiel, Musk, Putin, and Epstein all have the same missing parts. Their war is against those who still retain their empathy, their humanity, and if you will, their soul.
But now that this psychological war has come to the surface, and the damage it has wrought is self-evident, will we start recognizing it as the battlefield we need to fight on? Can we finally shed the Kabuki of left-right politics and start focusing on the elite class which deliberately divides us? Or will the divided keep playing our parts, while the dividers conquer the world?
Please join me at Noon PT / 3PM ET for a wide-ranging discussion about the week’s events seen through the lens of the mind, not the spin of the media. It’s always open for questions and comments. If you haven’t upgraded to a paid subscription, please consider it! Details for the Zoom meeting below.
