Q.) If you were theoretically going to design a psychological operation, what would be the main areas you think you would have covered on social media?
A.) You mean, like if I wanted to recruit someone like you?

Q.) Do you think they’re like everywhere? Media, Podcasters, TikTokers?
A.) I think it’s like in every area where media is concerned, yeah.

Let’s be clear. So when I’m saying like somebody’s an operative or whatever word you want to use, they’re not like walking around on their off time, pulling out their secret CIA ID card and badging into the main building. That’s not what happens.

Even if you go back to Project Mockingbird, they’re just getting some talking points in a letter every once in a while.

They’re just saying, oh, you know what, don’t have this guy on your show or don’t allow this to be spoken about on your show, or if they talk about this, you’re going to cut it out. They are simple things like that; very basic instructions.

And the way that somebody like a Gen Z person might get recruited is, they’ll typically capitalize on the people who already have talent and skill. People are going to rise to the top and they don’t have to worry about training them in charisma, media, on camera presence. They’ll just find the people that are already doing well. So it saves them a lot of time and a lot of money.

So let’s say one day, let’s just use you as an example. Somebody comes up and says, “Hey man, I love your podcast, yada, they’re in a restaurant or bar or whatever.” And they say, “I have a serious question for you though. Are you a patriot? Would you consider yourself a patriot?”

Now I’ve got you locked into identity, right?

So you consider yourself a patriot, then we’ll go on a little bit. I’ll get you to make a few more comments and stuff like that, and I’ll get you to make a few more agreements that say, “yeah, I support the country” and all that kind of stuff.

And then I say, “Well, I have an offer for you, but before I show you anything, I just want you to say yes or no, would you be willing to entertain the offer and look at what I have and it might be uncomfortable? Would you be willing to look at it?”

Sure.
Yep.

Stage one is, I show you all of your browsing history, captures from your webcams on all of your phones and computers. So if you’re doing the most compromising shit you could ever possibly imagine, every bad thing you’ve ever done, recorded in some way.

And I’d say, “I like your podcast. I think you’re doing a great job and I want to protect you, and I want to keep all this from the public eye. We also want to give you $20,000 a month.”

A.) I’m going to protect you and
B.) I’m going to give you $20,000 a month.

So you have the carrot and you have the stick, at the exact same briefing and you agreed to receive the briefing from me, even after I told you it was going to be stressful. So now you feel like you chose all of this.

So you walk away not feeling like I shoved this in your face. I told you it was going to be stressful and you agreed to it, and you agreed that you’re a patriot and all the other agreements.

And now – if you say yes – the reason that you’re doing this on your podcast is for your country, because you’re not going to call yourself compromised. We have this thing called cognitive dissonance that keeps our brain from thinking I’m a bad person. We have a hardwired thing in our brain that says, “I did this bad thing for this good reason.” It’s in everybody’s brain.

So now when you go back on the podcast, you’re going to go back to that sense of patriotism because that’s how that person anchored that conversation at the very beginning and probably at the very end.

So now, even though you’re being asked to silence people, not have certain people on the show, leave something out of your podcast, you’re telling yourself and whoever’s your handler, is telling you:

“This is for the greater good. This is for the good of the country because we have these brand new initiatives that are coming out. The Saudis are doing X and Y and Z. Chinese are preparing operations to do X and Y and Z. And if this thing got out, it could have caused a massive panic and a massive crisis.”

So you feel you did the right thing but then you kept Americans safe by doing that, and you’ll tell yourself that, and you’ll feel good about it.

So when a person is in this situation, they will feel good about what they’re doing. Even if it feels a little off in the back of their mind, they’ll still feel like at the end of the day, I’m doing the right thing.

Q.) What happens if I say no?
A.) At the end of the day, if you said no, then, and this is all hypothetical, I’m making all of this up completely. At the end of the day, if you said no, the conversation would turn to:

“Well, I think you’re doing a great job. I appreciate you having this discussion with me, and I have to say that there is no way that I can prevent this stuff from reaching the public eye unless you decide to work with us, and all I’m asking you to do is just work with us once a week for five minutes, but it’s up to you.”

And that will be a mind virus in your brain for weeks and weeks and weeks, and it’ll never go away. And all I’ve got to do is leave you a business card with a phone number on it. And you’ll call. Eventually you’ll call.
