> but it's worth noting that Scientology has always had some overlapping interests with the Medical Freedom Movement insofar as they push back against modern psychiatry

It's not necessary to stamp out a movement, it's too obvious. What bad actors want is to corrupt a movement, like feminism, or liberalism. Liberalism used to be about equality and equal OPPORTUNITY, not equal outcome which relieves the individual of any personal responsibility. But that's the point, isn't it? Remove personal responsibility and society gradually becomes more and more corrupt, weak, and eventually will implode on itself, which is what we see in certain US cities.

ANTIFA used to be actually against fascism, and now they're the fascists. A founder of an Antifa chapter in Europe did an interview and lamented how crooked the movement had become, especially in the US. In the 1970s feminists actually used to be nice but around 1981 they became very militant and toxic, even violent. The same things happened in the 1980s with the pro-animal/animal rights movement. They just got more destructive and violent. The same goes for the "green" movement.

Good points! It may well be that all of the movements you mention here have been infiltrated or psy-opped by Deep State actors, turning them into the dark shadows of their former selves. All of it in service of the age-old tactic of divide and conquer to keep the resistance fractured and chaotic as Crawford describes.

It's worth considering the possibility that all these movements - scientology, feminism, liberalism (yes, even liberalism itself and whole "enlightenment"), ANTIFA - may have been controlled opposition right from inception.

I've said exactly the same thing myself, although I've had to say it in private for fear of being cancelled by these fanatics. Someone once said, "Whatever it is you are not allowed to talk about, there lies the oppression."

The original feminists = suffragettes were into blowing things up.

I recall the original feminists were prohibitionists, and would try to smash barrels and bottles of whisky. Can you elaborate on which suffragettes blew up what?

Expand full comment

The original suffragettes were in New Zealand, in the 1890s, about 30 years before prohibition, and may have had valid complaints. I met the (grand? memory is vague) daughter of one, and you would *NOT* have thought her a feminist by the way she talked and the attitudes she had, but I digress.

Here's a summary of the bombing and arson violence campaign:

Almost always the complaints of any movement are valid. It is the solutions which need careful examination.

"There's a good reason that I deleted my telegram recently, and it mostly has to do with the amount of noise I was encountering."

Telegram is filled with channels that use people's names who may or may not even know they're being used to create high pressure information streams. It looks on face like a brainwashing tool. I would nuke it too were it not for my volunteer group's channel. Maybe I'll push them all to another platform.

"I have my own list of chaos agents being built up, and I have solutions to vet out supposed leaders of the resistance. I've pitched my idea to people, and the friction I got was baffling."

I get resistance constantly for many of the simplest things. Or, if it can't be resisted, somebody takes the idea from me. A good example is the campfire.wiki. You would think that such an open source intelligence tool would be a no brainer for the leaders of all these groups, and they'd send their scribes. Crickets. (If you're interested in documenting, Operation Uplift is happy to sign you up.)

"Unless we form a legitimate intelligence network that has a vetting and quality control system, we'll continue to react and play into someone else's game."

I agree. We are being steered. I think this is why when I started fixing the DMED data story, I was immediately shunned by a lot of people. I've heard people in our movement (leaders) say things like, "We are ahead of schedule." What does that even mean?

A few of the leaders have very convenient origins stories, much like startups with narcissistic CEOs who have already put knives in the backs of their real cofounders.

Most people don't have enough experience to know what the signs would look like. That's how they can be ruled so easily. But all that does is send us further along path dependence into a degrading speciation.

This, this, a thousand times this. The same human cognitive failings that have allowed this whole shitshow to happen are creating predictable failings in the opposition movement, too. One of the more maddening things for me is a general lack of systems thinking amongst many, exacerbated by the siloing and dilution of important information.

Let's talk.

Expand full comment

One major issue isn’t simply infiltration of ‘enemy agents’ (or whatever term works for you) but significant differences of underlying ideologies/beliefs of people who are “freedom advocates”. This can create conflict that isn’t “enemy action” but can be interpreted as such. As an engineer, physician, and semi-trained philosopher, I think deeply & analytically about many issues. But I am also a committed follower of Christ, and this has a huge impact on how I understand the world. As such I realize that “true evil” exists, and that a materialist worldview fails at certain points.

For example, “artificial intelligence” is a fantasy, as intelligence is not something produced mechanistically. Algorithms can be programmed to do marvelous iterative refinement of data, but creative intelligence simply won’t happen. I have had arguments with people about this, folks who are definitely “on the same team” but have a different worldview. I just read a Substack by R Malone that went off into an arena I see as absurd, as he is publicizing a view (by another writer) of events that explicitly is at odds with a Biblical understanding of humanity & God.

Also the individual personalities play a larger role than one might realize. There are a number of new “celebrities” in our ranks, and some people handle success/fame better than others. I will say it has been encouraging that most have shown solid character. But becoming too enamored of one’s fame and one’s theory/view is a real stumbling block.

Developing true community IS the answer, and I applaud so much of you & others are writing. But it’s like the Patriot groups found many years ago: up to half the members were feds (or more precisely, felons who were given a free pass to be a fee informant). Shortly before the election El Gato Malo wrote a nice piece on secure voting using blockchain. It is that level of verification we need, and yet with such loss of values & character in our society, I don’t know how we get there.

Wow ... I’m rambling on with this comment ;)

a Brandon worth talking to. Thank you for your reaction. One needs to compare with others. I have fits of depressive thoughts too, but do my best to communicate with people who are a bit more upbeat. I think it is always a docs failure if they say, you have only this long to live. I know several people who lived 2, 3 even 10 years later. Proof of a bad doc and in this case, a bad blogger.

Expand full comment

Thank you MC. This is a great discussion. No question that psyop is active and very likely a part of the plandemic planning. As you mention, infiltration has been a name of the game forever in war and this is without question a planned war. Sun Tzu talks about the need to infiltrate the other to get information, at the very least. I don't remember if he talks about infiltration to destroy the enemy from within, though. Maybe time to re-read. Time for that? [Headshake.] And yet infiltration has been used for much of the 20th century to destroy all 'true' democracy movements. Not a secret, anymore.

Expand full comment

There is not much in Sun Tzu regarding infiltration to destroy from within. He does have five spy classifications of which the expendable spy indirectly causes internal confusion. This spy is fed wrong information which distorts the enemy's strategy.

Muchas gracias. Long deep memory shard. It's been MANY years since I read Sun Tzu.

In terms of the contents of the message, judge the message.

Yes, absolutely, that gives you a leg-up on almost everyone. Consider hydroxychloroquine. Information outside cognitive boundaries and self-selected media can be most interesting, productive, and enlightening. It sharpens discernment, judgment, and confidence. But you will walk the earth alone disparaged by ideological believers - an indication you've left the unconscious realm for that of individuation.

As an opsec/infosec document it's the basic template and details Anonymous would have as fundamentals in "OpNewBlood" where fundamentals of online safety and infiltration/disruption were a starting place for hactivism. While that's cookie cutter there are a few red flags for me.

Start with unnamed authors selecting "Themis" as the attribution name and a bit of not so distant history for that. There's no way to grasp the problem well enough to compile the report and not encounter the Palintir dirtbag operation that made Themis a notorious name w hactivists.

“Team Themis”? It was a joint project of data firms Palantir Technologies and Berico Technologies, tech security firm HBGary Federal, security firm Booz Allen Hamilton, and the Hunton & Williams law firm, which represents the US Chamber of Commerce. Headed by HBGary CEO Aaron Barr, the project was supposed to counteract the negative attention of US Chamber Watch, an organization that had recently hit the Chamber with charges of laundering millions of dollars .

In the as two weeks I have received 3 new friend requests from faked clone accounts of well known and published Vitamin-D3 researchers/advocates using slightly edited genuine profile pictures.

There is a vocal and well followed (I do not know why some of these odd groups gain such traction when they offer nothing) FB group that spreads misinformation about Vitamin-D3 and ban people who suggest basic home truths sometimes just for raising questions that bring the weak position to light.

They suggest things that are not true based on a single published paper that shows they are not true.

We can be sure that there is concerted action against the healthy living movement, and it has been targeted strongly during covid because the people in the movement are looking for facts and they will uncover the covid falsehoods if allowed the freedom and support to do their own research.

We clearly face harassment who think for ourselves. So, we must invent the technology that skirts this "next gen warfare". This is one of the reasons I support crypotcurrency (just not the centralized type that can be programmed or controlled or surveilled from afar). Cryptographic signatures will become the norm in communications at some point. I use them sometimes, and some of my apps use them.

Expand full comment

Yes, new ideas are needed.

Trust in the new world (New Trust [tm]) should require strong crypto to maintain a chain but also require human face to face trust to shore up the trust. Digital lins should not extend too far or have too large a scope before a human trust link is required for ground truth. Just an idea you can tell people.

several people have to write under pseudonym, like Eugyppius and Midwestern Doctor and Spartacus. The fact that they do only proves, that it is dangerous to tell the truth. So this here will have to be checked and rechecked often. As to Drs. I am very wary of any doctor at all, mostly that promote allopathy and vaccines. If a doc knows nothing about homeopathy and herbal treatments I avoid them like the pest.

Okey dokey, so I hadn't heard of this Themis report 'til now but here's a fwiw straight accountin' of some jaw-droppin' jive turkey operations that match this report comin' from the NYC Belly o' the (Turkey-feastin') Beast cuz whuther this "Theme-miss" report is generated by spooks (a few things raised my own eyebrows...) or is kosher-dill an' checks out, I cain't say but summa' this stuff applies directly to our fambly's lived experience with local rallies. Thankfully I don't "do" the social me-"dia" -- never trusted it--but I went to many'a these "rallies" posted. Most DID require Telegram to know about 'em (odd, right?) so I relied on friends... but I shared about'em all with an email blast group'a moms I got... at least a'fore things got FUNKY

So thanks Mat fer this important postin' !

Well Lord'a mighty--this IS a hornet's nest as the World Wide Rally in NYC (at least) and the "other" bot organization--with Lady Liberty--WERE totally a thing here among those of us resistin' the mandates.... and I (and a bunch'a friends) became flummoxed by the whole mess as it unfolded and went from "good" to "unhinged.."

I won't say too much (ain't namin' names!) but some days there were more'n one 'r TWO rallies goin' on nearly at the same day an' time 'er the same week--sometimes when a bigger event was in town as if to "drawr away" from it... not sure but we DID notice. Many've us attended Logo One events but ended up gettin' confused with some attending copycat named Logo Two events. ALWAYS there were legit folks in attendance but but some seemed like somethin' was "off" -- like Union Square had many hundreds but Columbus Circle (as in the Themis report)--had like 75 people--it was a joke, I think some wandered in from the street by accident... Some (the more legit ones) did have police there (real ones), others had no police support (reallly? in NYC?) and yet others had FAKE cops...or some BOTH real and fake. Head spinnin' yet y'all?

What got weird was one of the "main" organizers seemed to go to Hell in a handbasket. Lady didn't show up to like half've "her" own events! She started out cogent and then began to flake out, say REALLY weird things, CURSE (in her speeches and even at political figures...), attack people and was apt to go full out cryin' and unhinged--and then told lies (about her gettin' fired cuz her story didn't add up--some'vs knew folks in her profession and let's just say dates and mandates info was not right...nor did the profession seem to jibe...). Agin' I won't name names... and this "might" just be a case of someone outta work descending into mental illness but there was a LOT "off" about 'er and the public impression of this "truth movement" leader went down a bunch I think. A friend'a mine has a daughter who was takin' some homeschool class in the Times Sq. area (a lot of the theater studio rental places are there...it's not only tourists!) and saw this leader one evening on the street and appearin' to be very drunk (there with some gal pals). Not sure if this mean's anything (surely adults have a right to get smashed when they feels like it...) but it doesn't seem to reflect well on any fearless "leader" out in public--and the daughter and mom wondered how the HECK did this lady git in a bar if she wuz "unjabbed" as there was this tetchy thing with show'in vaxx id's here... ODD, right?

So given the flakey an' antagonistic weird behavior of this one "organizer" (and again I might be off the mark as we all know some leaders'r messed up mightily!) I emailed another (very legit) organizer who comes from the autism community and who co-organized with this "organizer" some of the bigger events.... I emailed him about this other person and the "potential" harm to a legit movement that can be done havin' an unhinged cursin' angry person front an' center (making us ALL look bad). Not that the MSM covered these events--fer all MSM was concerned they didn't even exist! But anywho, this other fellow sent me back a purdy terse note as if he was deeply offended at my suggestion.

Mebbe a month later when this lady organizer invited one of the bigger BLM "leaders" to speak (there were audible "boos" in the audience...) -- the fish I smelled at 5 days old was now 35 days old an' stinkin'. The "guest" went off topic so it wasn't about fighting mandates but about BLM-related topics. Mind'ya in NYC there were folks've all colors at all these rallies so this topical concern is only cuz BLM was not formerly "on the menu."

At nearly all the early rallies there were monkeyshines anyway--there were "act-turds" dressed up to cause trouble--my girls and I enjoyed pickin' them out -- it wasn't hard--one was nekked with red white n' blue paint on supposed to look like "Laydee Libertee" (Lady Libertine she whar!) and others dressed up in "costumey" Maga wear (like they just took the tags off stuff) who picked fights and carried (in NYC mind 'ya) GIANT 6 foot American flags. There was a fake "hick boy" in dungarees and a straw hat, and at one homeless crazy person who seemed to pick fights in Brooklyn an' Manhattan both... really? He'd travel by subway fer an hour'er so just to pick fights at these rallies?! There were fake cops engagin' in the fracas's at a few've these (duh, boys, at least git yer pants ta match--khakis don't cut it...)... I mean there wuz so much mischief goin' on... But the two groups--with competin' rallies and times and reschedulin' AND this one leader who seemed to go from bein' sane to actin' out some bad celebrity biopic 'bout addiction... It all wuz, as I said, FUNKY.... Now given that RFK Jr's CHD had speakers at some rallies (even on days when competin' ones wuz goin' on mebbe?) and bought some cool light up signs and stuff... mebbe THEY know a lot more to 'n they're sayin...

So wuz what happened Themis...? Not sure if "TheyMissed" or iff'in they hit their target--but the whole thing fizzled out. Disappeared! (callin' David Blaine...) So agin' WHATEV'uh this wuz I still ain't sure, but the parties listed in the report WERE the ones here in NYC... and there was something SPOOKY about the whole thing... never found out, may never know...

Mathew there's a good many not expecting to lose everything next year. I tried to make this a sheeple shareable video to get people thinking about their home ownership or rental and to take steps to mitigate their risks. I see the climate reparations looming as the reason for billions and trillions printed by our Fed's. So inflation will skyrocket. Meanwhile the whose who in the mortgage industry are still calling for staying in variable. So much so.

There are so many scum bags who promote "viruses aren't real" , "germs aren't real" , "space isn't real" (and my friend Henjin at Kevin McCairn's Discord has documented a lot of connections between the Flat Earthers and the Virus Deniers when the Virus Deniers were first getting off the ground.

I pay some attention to people who make a lot of noise about IQ test results, but if you spend even two of your IQ points promoting graphene nano robots, there is something deeply wrong with you.

Things that were red flags for me were the use of the "Rose" bot, because a rose is the antifa symbol on Twitter. The use of words like folks and diverse, that stinks of leftist speech. I'm not sure if the report was written to warn people to be alert or as a psy-op to scare people from joining groups in the first place.

I'm pretty sure every organization today is infiltrated by government operatives, but then you also have the grifters (example: BLM), the power hungry, and the control freaks to contend with.
