Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg Takes ‘Anti-Vax’ Stance in Violation of His Own Platform's New Policy
Project Veritas released a new video today provided by a Brave Facebook Insider exposing Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s contradictory position when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines.
Here are some of the highlights from the video:
- Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO in July 2020: “But I do just want to make sure that I share some caution on this [vaccine] because we just don't know the long-term side effects of basically modifying people's DNA and RNA…basically the ability to produce those antibodies and whether that causes other mutations or other risks downstream. So, there's work on both paths of vaccine development.”
- During a public live stream with Dr. Fauci in November 2020, Zuckerberg had a different take: “Just to clear up one point, my understanding is that these vaccines do not modify your DNA or RNA. So that’s just an important point to clarify.”
- Facebook announced last week that they are “expanding [their] efforts to remove false claims on Facebook and Instagram about COVID-19, COVID-19 vaccines and vaccines in general during the pandemic.”
- Facebook said it would remove claims that vaccines change people’s DNA.
- Facebook claims it wants people to “discuss, debate and share their personal experiences, opinions and views” as it pertains to the pandemic but will remove vaccine concerns from its platform that had once been expressed by their own CEO.

Putin Warns of Conflict That Would Mean “End of Our Civilization
Putin Warns of Conflict That Would Mean “End of Our Civilization”
Says global situation is prompting “destruction of traditional values.”

During a virtual appearance at the World Economic Forum, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that the world’s failure to resolve its conflicts could lead to a war that would mean “the end of our civilization.”
Putin asserted that the coronavirus pandemic as well as increasing political polarization has exacerbated preexisting global problems and that there is “every reason to believe that the tensions might be aggravated even further.”
Citing experts who have likened the current global environment to the situation in the 1920’s and 30’s, the Kremlin leader cautioned that the world was heading down a potentially disastrous path.
“In the 20th century, the failure and inability to centrally resolve such issues resulted in the catastrophic World War II,” he said. “Of course, nowadays such a heated conflict is not possible, I hope that it’s not possible in principle, because it would mean the end of our civilization.”
Putin said that the “destruction of traditional values” and freedom itself was on the line if the situation is allowed to deteriorate to the point of conflict where it’s “all against all.”
Elsewhere in his talk, Putin addressed Internet censorship, asserting that social media networks were now competing with elected governments over monopoly of power.
“We are now talking about economic giants, aren’t we? In certain areas, they are competing with states and their audience can include millions and millions of users,” said Putin.
“Here is the question, how well does this monopolism correlate with the public interest?” he asked.

Bombshell: Trove Of Hillary Clinton Emails After President Orders Declassification
- Secretary of State signaled he would release Clinton emails before election
- 'We're going to get all this information out so the American people can see it,' he says
The emails, which can be found on the State Department website, span between 2009 and 2016, during and after Clinton was Secretary of State during former President Obama’s term.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had signaled Friday he was preparing to release Clinton’s emails as part of Trump’s declassification orders.
“We’re going to get all this information out so the American people can see it. You’ll remember there was classified information on a private server, should have never been there, Hillary Clinton should never have done that, that was unacceptable behavior,” Pompeo said on Fox Business.

“You can see, whether it’s Russia or China or Iran or the North Koreans who want to get their hands on this kind of information, classified information needs to stay in the right places. Secretary Clinton, when she was here at the State Department, did not do that,” he said.
The release comes after Trump ordered the declassification of all documents related to Hillary Clinton and the Russia hoax. “I have fully authorized the total Declassification of any & all documents pertaining to the single greatest political CRIME in American History, the Russia Hoax.
Likewise, the Hillary Clinton Email Scandal. No redactions!” he tweeted Tuesday.

Likewise, Trump also issued a blistering warning during an interview with Rush Limbaugh on Friday that if Iran tried to undermine America’s safety, they would pay the price.
“Iran knows that and they’ve been put on notice: If you fuck around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before,” Trump said.

DNI Ratcliffe Declassifies Brennan’s Notes Proving Obama Briefed On Hillary Clinton’s ‘Russia Collusion’ Plot Against Trump
- Clinton spokesperson had called shocking allegations "baseless bullsh*t"
- Smoking gun CIA evidence proves Clinton plot known by intelligence agencies and President Obama himself in July 2016
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe declassified a set of memos revealing more information about Hillary Clinton’s “plan” to create the phony Russian collusion narrative to politically damage Donald Trump as “a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.”
Ratcliffe declassified former CIA Director John Brennan’s handwritten notes detailing his briefing of former President Obama about Clinton’s “plan” to tie Trump to Russian interference in the 2016 election.
“We’re getting additional insight into Russian activities from [REDACTED],” Brennan notes read. “CITE [summarizing] alleged approved by Hillary Clinton a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisers to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service.”
Enclosure 1 Brennan Notes u by Jamie White
Ratcliffe also declassified a heavily-redacted CIA memo showing the agency referred the matter of Clinton’s scheme to frame Trump to the FBI.
“The following information is provided for the exclusive use of your bureau for background investigative action or lead purposes as appropriate,” the memo to then-FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Assistant Director of the Counter Intelligence Division Peter Strzok stated.
“This memorandum contains sensitive information that could be source revealing. It should be handled with particular attention to compartmentation and need-to-know. To avoid the possible compromise of the source, any investigative action taken in response to the information below should be coordinated in advance with Chief Counterintelligence Mission Center, Legal,” the memo, which was sent to Comey and Strzok, read. “It may not be used in any legal proceeding—including FISA applications—without prior approval…”
Enclosure 2 Dcia Memo 09-07... by Jamie White
“Per FBI verbal request, CIA provides the below examples of information the CROSSFIRE HURRICANE fusion cell has gleaned to date,” the memo continued.
“An exchange [REDACTED] discussing US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s approval of a plan concerning US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering US elections as a means of distracting the public form her use of a private email server.”
These two declassifications are notable because Hillary Clinton’s spokesperson Nick Merrill called the allegations that she plotted to frame Trump with the Russian collusion hoax “baseless bullshit” after Ratcliffe announced he was declassifying items proving the affirmative.
Additionally, James Comey denied ever having received that CIA memo during congressional testimony last week.
“You don’t remember getting an investigatory lead from the intelligence community? Sept. 7, 2016, U.S. intelligence officials forwarded an investigative referral to James Comey and Strzok regarding Clinton’s approval of a plan [about] Trump…as a means of distraction?” Sen. Lindsey Graham asked Comey.
“That doesn’t ring any bells with me,” Comey replied.

“According to his handwritten notes, former Central Intelligence Agency Director Brennan subsequently briefed President Obama and other senior national security officials on the intelligence, including the ‘alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on July 26, 2016 of a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services,'” Ratcliffe wrote to the Senate Judiciary last week.

Prof. Vladimir Golstein: Without Hagia Sophia, there wouldn't be Russian Orthodoxy
At least, if you believe Russian Primary Chronicle (the XII century text known to us only in its XIV century variant), which told us how Kievan prince Vladimir had been choosing the "true" religion for the pagan Russians.
He dismisses Islam, since "drinking is the joy of Russia, and we can't exist without this pleasure." He mocks the Jews for not substantiating their faith with territorial possession. But then he can't choose between the western and eastern brands of Christianity. So he sends envoys to different countries to witness and report. And that’s what they brought back:
“Then we went to Germans and saw them performing many ceremonies in their temples, but we beheld no glory there. Then we went to Greece and the Greeks led us to the edifices where they worship their God, and we knew not whether we were in heaven or on earth. For on earth there is no such splendor or such beauty, and we are at a loss how to describe it. We only know that God dwells there among men, and their service is fairer than the ceremonies of other nations. For we cannot forget that beauty. Every man, after tasting something sweet, is afterward unwilling to accept that which is bitter, and therefore, we cannot dwell longer here."
And yes, it was Hagia Sophia that Vladimir’s envoy visited and where they were stung by the beauty. More than stung. Transformed, transfigured, converted.
Ever since, their words and actions kept on instructing Russians that in order to witness God dwelling among men you have to witness the beauty that men create. That it is beauty’s splendor that testifies to God’s presence. Not a sword. Not a rocket. Not a dollar.
This passage is so stunning and so memorable. It is as beautiful as Hagia Sophia. While pagan Rome can offer us only “veni, vidi, vici,” while some exceptional Americans improve it into “we came, we saw, he died,” Russians offer something different. “We came, we saw, we got transformed”: “veni, vidi, transfiguri,” if you pardon my Latin.
Indeed, the structure is breathtaking, and it was meant this way. According to the Byzantine historian, Procopius, the interior of the church, was: “too splendid to appear ordinary and too tastefully decorated to appear excessively rich. It is bathed in sunlight and the reflection of the sun’s rays; one might almost say that it is not illuminated from without by the sun but that the radiance originates from within, so inundated with light is this sanctuary. .. Upon the central circle rises a sort of huge spherical dome, an incomparably beautiful structure; it seems not so much to rest upon the solid substructure, as … to be suspended from heaven... If anyone enters to pray, then his mind is lifted up and he walks in heaven; he thinks that God cannot be far away and that He gladly dwells in this place that He himself has chosen.”
But let’s descent from Heaven to Earth. So what exactly is Erdogan doing, and why does it matter?
For me, he is engaged in something truly demonic, because he is generating discord and enmity. I like Turks. I like the country. I like Istanbul. Just last November I was there, enjoying the sights, and Bosporus, and the city, and the food, and the culture. I am sure my sentiment is shared by many people from all over the world. Russian tourists in Turkey is as a fixture as the Chinese in Gallery Lafayette.
Yet, a lot of Orthodox do remember. Armenians remember. Serbs remember. Bulgarians remember. Russians remember. So why stir shit? Why lacerate the wound that has just been covered with a thin layer of new skin?
As with all sorts of inevitable evil or injustice, people make peace with it. As we make peace with illness, or bad weather, or nasty and abusive cops. So yes, people made peace with the fact that Hagia Sophia had been in Ottoman hands converted into mosque for five centuries. People made peace that it is been turned into the museum for the last 90 years. But why rub it in? Why provoke enmity and ill feelings?
The answer is simple. Erdogan does not care. All politics – at least as far as Democracies are concerned – is local. It has to appeal to locals. That’s why Erdogan can dismiss Christians, because their vote does not count. And he can dismiss his own secularized segment, because by definition, these children of Ataturk, do not worry about religious feelings of others.
That’s exactly what American Democrats keep on doing as well: who cares about Russians or Orthodox– there are too few of them to vote, and religion is not to be encouraged to begin with. So who cares about Serbs or Greeks – there is not enough of them to protest while we dismantle Yugoslavia and bomb Belgrade for three months. Of course, Canadians care about Ukrainians. Because there is at least a million of them in Canada.
So yes, it is a demonic work, camouflaged as democratic. In pursuit of votes, lets ostracize, lets sow the discord, and set people against each other. Just another day in politics, I guess. But common people would suffer. Demonic work always ends in disaster. But by that time, Erdogan will retire to his dacha on Bosporus, enjoying the sunsets over the stunning landscape.
The Hybrid War Of Terror On America Was Decades In The Making
The spree of urban terrorism that's exploded in the
US over the past week wasn't a spontaneous outburst of unrest but part
of the decades-long Hybrid War of Terror on America that finally turned
kinetic in the run-up to Trump's possible re-election, and an analysis
of the origins and gradual development of this conflict could provide a
clearer picture of the course that it might take in the coming months.
A Review Of Recent Events
Subversive forces inside the US are waging a Hybrid War of Terror on America, one that's been decades in the making but finally turned kinetic in the run-up to Trump's prospective re-election. For those readers who aren't familiar with the author's earlier work on this topic, they're requested to read or at least skim through the following articles in order to obtain an understanding of his interpretation of contemporary events that will frame the present analysis about their origins and their prospective development across the course of this year:
* 1 June: "Mayhem In America: Masks Off, Molotovs Out!"
* 2 June: "America Has The Right To Protect Itself From Urban Terrorism"
* 3 June: "What Comes After America's Nationwide Anti-Terrorist Operation?"
* 4 June: "Antifa Wants To Lead African-Americans To Their Slaughter To Spark A Race War"
To
oversimplify, domestic terrorist groups led on the ground primarily by
the largely decentralized Antifa network are doing everything they can
to encourage angry African-Americans to carry out a nationwide crime
wave together with acts of urban terrorism so as to increase the
likelihood of them getting killed en masse by the police, National
Guard, and/or military as the next step in provoking a "race race", the
resultant chaos of which could then be exploited to advance their
ideological agenda of "revolution".
Education Or Indoctrination?
What's happening in America today took decades to get to this point since ordinary Americans wouldn't otherwise react the way that many of them regrettably are unless they were truly enraged at something so intensely to put others' lives and their own in danger through wanton acts of urban terrorism. Their worldview wasn't shaped in a day, but over decades, and that initially began in the educational system which was gradually subverted by left-wing radicals to the point where almost all college professors today identify with this ideology or one of its variants. They indoctrinated several generations of Americans "across the color spectrum" into believing that their country is a "racist dictatorship" profiting off of "economic injustice". There's definitely some truth to the general point that America is imperfect like all countries are, with its own particular systemic challenges that have made life difficult for some categories of folks more so in the past than in the present day, but that truth has been manipulated in order to radicalize the population according to certain triggers that most directly affect each identity demographic (e.g. racism and the criminal justice system for African-Americans, "reverse-racism" for Caucasians, feminism for women, corruption for the vast majority of the people, etc.).
Trotskyist Terror
This observation makes it relevant to discuss the influence of Trotskyist thought, which in this context simply refers to the concept of a so-called "permanent revolution". There's nothing wrong with the idea of continual improvement, but it's been exploited by radical left-wing ideologies in order to promote the Machiavellian mantra that "the ends justify the means". That said end is what its adherents truly believe (whether on their own or due to mental manipulation by "vanguard" elements of "the movement") to be a "better world" for everyone, hence why they think that morality has no place when it comes to means. Thus, even acts of urban terrorism and the tricking of "useful idiots" into being slaughtered are "acceptable". "The movement" does everything in its power to ensure that "the cause" is always on everyone's minds so that nobody ever forgets about it but is instead always incited into becoming ever more radicalized so that their anger can then be "constructively" (or rather, destructively) channeled in the direction of their greater goal. Saul Alinsky's "Rules For Radicals", which he dedicated to "the first radical" Lucifer (Satan) in order to emphasize the amorality of his Machiavellian methods, provides perfect insight into the typical "revolutionary's" mindset.
Relativism & Deconstructivism
One of the ways through which the educational establishment has indoctrinated Americans has been to have them relativize and deconstruct their society, though not in a purely objective manner (if one can even be applied in theory), but along the lines of whatever will portray "the movement's" "cause" as "good/legitimate" and the existing system/establishment/everything else as "bad/illegitimate". That's not to say that relativism and deconstructivism aren't useful to practice, but just to point out that they're one of the more popular means through which generations have been manipulated, with the effects cumulatively building to the point where each generation becomes more radicalized than their predecessors. This is made possible not only by the "perfecting" of such "perception management" techniques, but also by indoctrinated parents forcing their children to believe the same things that they do, thus giving them an "ideological boost" from an early age that they themselves didn't have and which could make them radicalize faster and more intensely than they ever did. Convinced of the validity of their worldview and the supposed "necessity" of "revolution", these mass-produced "foot soldiers" then demand maximalist outcomes and unconditional surrenders.
"The Long March Through The Institutions"
The next factor to focus on is the concept of "the long march through the institutions" which seeks to embed "revolutionaries" and their "fellow travelers" (ideological sympathizers who might not be as radicalized as the first-mentioned) into various institutions beyond just the educational one. In practice, this most often takes the form of embedding them in influential places like the church, the media, and "Big Tech", to say nothing of all levels of government: local/state/federal and executive/legislative/judicial. The purpose is to slowly take control of the state and society without arousing too much suspicion, but as the infiltration begins to succeed, certain signs become visible once these individuals feel comfortable enough in their positions to start actively shaping the country through relevant policies. This also sometimes takes the form of "politically flamboyant" personalities becoming popular in society for their outspoken views such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the rest of "the squad" alongside their "fellow travelers" in "Big Tech" like Twitter's Jack Dorsey among others for example. The end result is that society realizes that influential people harbor what had previously (and rightly) been considered to be radical ideologies, which contributes to gradually changing the national culture.
Gramsci's "Cultural Hegemony"
Interwar Italian Marxist theorist Antonio Gramsci is credited with pioneering the concept of "cultural hegemony" whereby he basically asserted that "revolutions" can increase their chance of success by capturing the national culture through various means. Nowadays this is seen not only in the public faces of some people who have completed "the long march through the institutions" (especially in the media), but also especially among celebrities. The outcome is that a certain so-called "political correctness" creeps in which pressures individuals to censor themselves from expressing any beliefs that don't conform with what's wrongly presented to be the "majority consensus" even though it's more often than not still only the view of the radical but influential minority. This doesn't always relate to the purely economic foundations of leftism either but increasingly takes the form of what critics have described as "Cultural Marxism", or the attempted application of leftism's common denominator of "equality" into the cultural sphere, which purely economic leftists decry as ideological heresy that discredits their ideas. Consequently, they refuse to associate with that term and those that use it despite many "Cultural Marxists" proudly espousing leftist economic views as well.
"Ideological Subversion"
In parallel with these previously mentioned processes is what KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov described during a 1985 interview as "ideological subversion". It's unimportant that he attributed this strategy to the USSR (whether rightly or wrongly) since it can be applied by any ideologically motivated network irrespective of partisanship that doesn't necessarily have to be state-backed. The four phases of "ideological subversion" are demoralization (making the majority skeptical of the status quo and feeling seemingly powerless to resist the "revolutionaries"), destabilization (a series of incidents that radicalize people and precondition the population to expect a crisis), crisis (the "trigger event" for catalyzing the most active and usually violent part of the campaign), and normalization ("the new normal" once the "revolutionaries" seize complete power even if they don't officially proclaim victory in the event that they succeeded in secret). As everything that's been discussed thus far in the analysis unfolds, the "Overton Window" shifts whereby what was previously considered radical is now seen as "normal" and the "old normal" becomes the "new radical" that's then presented by the "drivers of change" as the "dangerous fringe" that society must continue moving away from.
From Destabilization To Crisis
The phased transition from destabilization to crisis is facilitated by structural preconditioning such as the deliberate mental and economic hardships brought about by the Democrat Governors' decisions to impose strict COVID-19 lockdowns and the propagandizing of provocative narratives throughout society via the media such as the viral videos of police brutality against African-Americans. The first-mentioned makes the population more desperate and therefore increasingly likely to directly participate in the physical manifestation of the "revolution" even if they were previously having second doubts and preferred to only be "fellow travelers" (passive supporters). The second, meanwhile, incites the "revolutionary vanguard" (the role of which some participants such as criminally inclined African-Americans today aren't even conscious that they're playing) into a rage that triggers their prior amoral programming by reminding them that "the ends justify the means" even if it's only to opportunistically take advantage of the forthcoming crisis for selfish reasons like looting. Taken together, this further the "conscious vanguard's" cause of chaos that'll enter into effect upon the commencement of the crisis.
Color Revolution Chaos
The ongoing kinetic phase of the Hybrid War of Terror on America couldn't have been possible had it not been for the uncontrollable proliferation of the same Color Revolution tactics and strategies that the US government invented over nearly the past two decades then subsequently spread across the internet. It was therefore only a matter of time before "revolutionaries" at home began to apply the same methods against the US government itself in a completely expected twist of fate. The author's work from half a decade ago about "The Color Revolution Model: An Exposé Of The Core Mechanics" explains these processes at length, while his book from around the same time about "Hybrid Wars: The Indirect Adaptive Approach To Regime Change" explains the phased transition from Color Revolutions (weaponized protests) to Unconventional Wars (terrorism). In short, the terrorist phase begins to emerge after the security services' reaction to violent protests is caught on camera but deceptively decontextualized and misportrayed. The edited footage is then propagated throughout society to escalate the self-sustaining cycle of unrest by delegitimizing the said security services and their government, which further radicalizes the population into passively or actively supporting terrorism.
Strategic Escalations
The kinetic (physical, violent) phase of the decades-long Hybrid War of Terror on America is greatly aided by the "fellow travelers" who completed their "long march through the institutions" of government, specifically the Democrats in charge of local municipalities and various states. Many of them refuse to order the police and National Guard respectively to properly respond to the Color Revolution for two primary reasons. The first is to radicalize the majority of the population that's against this destruction so as to precondition them into expecting a "race war", while the second is to then reinforce the perception of Trump as a "fascist dictator" to the already radicalized "revolutionaries" and their "fellow travelers" once he's forced to take control of the National Guard and/or dispatch the military with the authority to use lethal force at their discretion to quell the unrest. That seemingly inevitable development will lead to the previously described decontextualization of such a response through edited footage that would become more "credible" to many if the "fellow traveling" peaceful protesters voluntarily use themselves as "human shields" to protect the urban terrorists among them, thus sacrificing themselves for "the cause" as "martyrs" whose deaths will be blamed on Trump personally.
Insubordination & Defection
"The long march through the institutions" also seeks to infiltrate the security services even though they're typically the most resilient, but the "sleeper cells" among them and their media allies can attempt to get their "moderate" colleagues to seriously consider refusing to fulfill their professional duty to restore law and order, especially if they're pressured not to "kill their own people" (an oft-abused phrase regularly employed by the US government to delegitimize those foreign governments targeted by its history of Hybrid Wars and which lethally respond to these external provocations in self-defense). "Dog whistles" are already being blown in this respect by former Defense Secretary Mattis and Espers the incumbent one who have both contradicted the President to different degrees regarding his plans to reestablish law and order. This increases the likelihood that the aforesaid "sleeper cells" can deploy other bespoke information warfare narratives against their "fellow" members of the security services such as imploring them to "obey the Constitution and not the fascist dictator who's ordering the illegal use of force against peaceful protesters out of self-interested political desperation to prevent his inevitable toppling by the people". If successful, then the result this devious information warfare operation could be game-changing.
Electoral Context
It's impossible to ignore the fact that the ongoing Hybrid War of Terror on America is occurring in the run-up to the November elections. The Minneapolis "trigger event" (which might be one of many up the seemingly never-ending escalation ladder) wasn't planned but something of the sort might have been had that not happened in order to catalyze the current chaos. The timing is extremely strategic because it's intended to totally destabilize the country ahead of its pivotal vote that might prospectively hand Trump his final term, after which he'd be completely "unchained" without any future electoral considerations whatsoever to pursue his own promised "revolutionary" agenda that threatens to reverse the leftists' "march through the institution" ("draining the swamp"/"fighting the deep state") in as radical of a manner as he'd want. To stop him, they hope to "hack" the election by exploiting this chaos to convince more people to vote Democrat, but as an "insurance policy", they also plan to use mail-in ballots in order to steal the election. Should they fail to do that and he's not overthrown beforehand in a military coup, then they'll likely intensify their Hybrid War on the basis that he supposedly "stole the election" following the narrative that the US itself used against so many targets abroad over the years.
Global Importance
The whole world is watching what happens because of the global importance that the outcome of this conflict will undoubtedly have. It shouldn't be forgotten that it's occurring in the midst of what the author previously described as World War C, which refers to the full-spectrum paradigm-changing processes unfolding as a result of every government's response to the COVID-19 global pandemic that readers can learn more about here, here, and here. In accordance with the precepts of Stephen Mann's "Chaos Theory And Strategic Thought", the initial conditions at the onset of any complex process will disproportionately influence their outcome ("the butterfly effect"), so even Trump's possible victory might only be a Pyrrhic one when it comes to America's global standing in the emerging Multipolar World Order depending on how much damage is done domestically during the course of this conflict. Another point to keep in mind is that he's also the leader of the worldwide nationalist/anti-globalism movement so the onset of the kinetic phase of this Hybrid War sends a strong message to other like-minded leaders that something similar could also happen to them at any time too unless they were more successful than the US was in stopping "the long march through the institutions".
Concluding Thoughts
The ongoing phase of the Hybrid War of Terror on America can be conceptualized as the explosion of a long-ticking time bomb similar in effect to what happened a generation ago in the USSR after US-backed nationalist "revolutionaries" there succeeded in destroying it from within using almost identical means. This observation speaks to the fact that such methods aren't exclusive to any given ideology but vary depending upon the targeted state's unique socio-economic and political characteristics, which could in the future be more easily identified and tracked using the strategic insight obtained by "Big Data" operations such as the one that Cambridge Analytica was notoriously accused of.
Considering that this is a conflict that was decades in the making, it won't be resolved anytime soon, especially since the "revolutionary" side is convinced that "the ends justify the means", which makes the use of terrorism against their "fellow" Americans "acceptable" to them. Although every government in the world officially condemns this method of warfare which doesn't have any ideology, race, religion, nationality, or borders, many of them and their compatriots are more than happy to watch the havoc that this Hybrid War will wreak for purely ideological reasons pertaining to their hatred for the American government (irrespective of whether or not that hatred is justified) even though the majority of victims will likely be innocent people of all "colors".
This
hypocritical position is explained by the fact that those abroad sense
that this conflict is an "historical opportunity" to knock the US "out
of the game" once and for all, and by none other than its own Hybrid War
means that it so eagerly used to employ against almost everyone else in
one way or another. For this self-interested reason, they might even
intensify their information warfare against the US in order to embolden
the "revolutionaries" and "demoralize" the average American that's
against this reign of terror by trying to convince them
that they "deserve" all of this because they pay taxes to "fund the
evil empire" for what it does overseas in their name without their
knowledge or permission. Some of these average Americans will almost
certainly submit, but tens of millions of others probably won't go down
without a fight, even if it's to the death.

Blok To the Rescue: A Page from the History of World Revolution
Blok To the Rescue: A Page from the History of World Revolution
By Prof. Vladimir Golstein
As we watch and experience protests, riots and looting, I can’t help but think of various revolutionary riots, some of which crushed, some resulting in a drastic change, some petering out.
There is a fascinating, brilliant, and paradoxical essay on the subject, written in 1918 by Alexander Blok: Catiline. With the subtitle: A Page from the History of World Revolution. The essay muses on the Roman rebel, Catiline, who led a failed coup in 63 BC. This essay is worth revisiting.
So this Catiline was an aristocrat, notorious for his crimes and scandals. Propagandists of his day, tried to present him as a mixture of Weinstein and Epstein. The biggest of these propagandists Cicero, Christian Amanpour or Rachel Maddow of his day, who spent endless amount of time exposing “Catiline’s conspiracy.” And of course, pseudo pundits pitched in, like this hypocritical historian, Sallust. Who probably worked in some Roman Think Tank, called Mediterranean Security Council.
Forced to study Cicero in schools, the later generations, continued to malign Catiline, all the way to Voltaire. Virtue signaling and cheap showing off is the vice that even the greatest can’t escape. Until Cateline’s story reached Ibsen and then Blok.
What's happened? Both Ibsen and Blok understood that Rome of Catiline’s day, was the epitome of the stifling, materialistic, delusional empire bound to collapse. Referring to Rome as "triumphantly decomposing,” Blok claims that the heart of Rome stopped when Christ was born. The Rome continued like a zombie, until it fully collapsed not only under the external pressure, but more importantly, under its own weight and moral bankruptcy.
So for Blok, the only
interesting way to interpret Catiline was to see him as a symptom.
Catiline was obviously pursuing his own goals and vendettas, yet his
rebellion served a lighting rod, attracting many people marginalized and
crushed by the decaying Roman Empire. The revolt was a reminder that
something was rotten and was bound to be shaken up. As Blok puts it:
"Roman culture was indicted forever in a different non-hypocritical
court, the court of Jesus Christ."
So yes, the old order, the Washington consensus of the last seventy years, is being shaken up. Scandals, military adventurism, the abuse of its Praetorian guards, lies, spinning, failure to take care of the weakest and helpless members of the society.
Many decaying regimes exhibit similar features. But Rome was clearly the father of them all. Blok, therefore writes in his diary: "Catiline. What a close, FAMILIAR, sad world!" He keeps on returning to the theme: referring to Rome’s "old, provincial, vulgar, positivist morality."
Besides indictment of Rome, what is fascinating about Blok’s analysis is his creative reading of Catiline. He sees him as "created by social inequality, suckled in its suffocating atmosphere.” Yet, despite Catiline’s personal failings, he –and his movement- got transformed, caught in the revolutionary upheaval. That’s how Blok describes Catiline gang’s march through Rome: “This is the same Catiline, the recent pet of the lionesses of Roman society and the demi-monde, the criminal ringleader of a debauched band. He walks with the same "now lazy, now hurried" gait, but his fury and rage have communicated a musical rhythm to his walk, as if this were no longer the same mercenary and debauched Catiline; in the tread of this man are revolt, uprising, and the furies of the people's anger.” What a great line: “In the tread of this man are revolt, uprising, and the furies of the people's anger.”
Blok was clearly fascinated by this revolutionary march through Rome. He knew that the uprising was to be crushed. That it would take another few centuries for Pax Romana to find its way into the dustbin of history. Yet, he could not help but hear the sound of liberation in this hurried march through Roman squares: "Do you hear that uneven, hurried step of the condemned man, the step of the revolutionary, the step in which the storm of fury sounds, resolving itself in staccato musical sounds?"
And no amount of Cicero eloquence can cover the fact, that there is a "non-hypocritical court" of history, or God, or whatever one wants to call it, that has already pronounced its verdict. In fact, Ciceros of today can go on, expressing their anger at racism, or Trump, or looting, or any other subject one is allowed to criticize by the Praetorian guards of the mass media. The system based on making rich richer and poor –poorer is wrong. The system based on the endless fear-mongering is wrong. The system that can’t see beyond bread and circus is sick to the core. The system that serves shareholders of military corporations and not the sick and the needy has only one way to go. If the system still divides the world into Rome and Barbarians, into aristocrats and sans-quilots, into exceptional Atlantists and its resources, it cannot last. I trust Blok on that.
Bourbons, when they were restored in France, also tried to present French revolution as nothing but murderous fury, and tried to turn the clock back, but obviously, history has its own logic. Ancient Regime was done for; it simply took it another fifty years to realize it.
