Empire: Issues Large Enough to Make Mindwar Cost Effective

The Mindwar Chronicles, Part 3

The Mindwar Chronicles articles are organized here. The RTE Locals community is here.

Years ago, in what seems like a past life at this point, I worked for the largest stock option trading firm at the Chicago Board of Options Exchange. One of the senior staff was world backgammon champion (1998) Howard Ring. His playing group was the strongest in the world, and included at least two other world champions. Howard had a reputation as an exceptional gambler and gamesman. Once in a while he would sit down at the poker table that sat in the corner of the office where young traders and trainers would practice the art of reading opponents and making rapid decisions. When he did, he was more interested in radiating his skill than whatever he might win in a pot.

But he would never play in a way that the probabilities, to his understanding, did not dictate as optimal.

One day a spectacularly talented con artist walked into the office of the firm where we worked. He announced his game, looking for a mark. The game was too good to be true: The con artist offered odds on simple coin flips. For instance, the con artist would offer to pay $150 on a loss, but win $100. (Actually, I think the odds may have been closer to 1:1, but most of us learned the story in the office second hand.)

Obviously, Howard spent some time thinking about the coin flipping contest. The rules seemed to favor a fair game, so Howard should have expected substantial edge (expected profit) playing the game. The con man insisted that only the two players were present in a closed room. Howard got to choose his own coin, but the con man got to call each flip.

The con man began winning $100 bets, then stakes raised higher and higher up to $5,000 a flip. At some point, Howard was down $25,000 and called the game, still unable to determine how the con man got the better of him.

The con man took a lot of money from skeptics in a lot of offices in Chicago until one day somebody shot him dead. So far as any of us know, the secret to the con man's trick died with him.

In order to best understand Mindwar, it is worth understanding what I called the "ante" for a Mindwar. For example, the primary ante involved in QAnon is the startling mass revelation that stories of elite pedophilia are not isolated incidents, but a ubiquitous global phenomenon of horrific proportion.

Control Over the Monetary Empire

This is self-explanatory. The Empire profits from controlling the money supply.

This is on face the single largest ante imaginable.It encompasses a lot of sub-issues including war, terrorism (how much of which is controlled opposition?), regulation of the capital and business markets, education, and individual rights.

Individual rights include issues of self-governance and local governance such as free speech (and thought), self-defense, what you can do about pedophiles in your neighborhood, taxation (which encompasses climate change), and so on.

All of this is clearly important enough that you can and should assume that the world's Megalomaniacal Philanthropaths are willing to organize massive and elaborate campaigns designed to control your perception. They won't just build one Matrix—they'll build enough to trap players, then brainwash them to be NPC cultists radically serving their "betters".

Do Not Expect Your Enemy to Attack Straight On

This would allow the Philanthropaths and their assets to give up invisibility, which is a strong superpower.

Consider these possibilities: The most powerful nations and organizations have other nations and organizations do their dirty work for them. If England wants to attack a nation, maybe the U.S. will do it for them. If the U.S. wants to spy on its citizens, maybe it'll have Israel do it for them. If the globalists want to expand the credit-backed currency supply, maybe the U.S. will hire China out of a French-built laboratory to engineer a pathogen—or even an inert substitute that triggers PCR positivity. If some oligarch with military leverage wants Bill Gates to use Warren Buffet's money to bribe the World Health Organization into taking the posture of a global health dictatorship by using Jeffrey Epstein's sexual blackmail as leverage, you may not know whom to blame. And you're going to have a thousand influencers telling you that they know the answers you seek, but most of them are just NPCs themselves.

That paragraph alone should be enough for you to reconsider any radicalization into which you might be baited. If you haven't chased the source of your anxiety past hypnotic influencers who eloquently share stories similar to yours, and pat you on the head for being smart or wise, you should remain firmly open minded. The arts of epistemology require great labor. And you cannot even begin that labor until you step away from the cult.
