NOTE: This is early access to an episode of the “No Way Out” podcast that will be released in the coming weeks.
I'm excited to share some behind-the-scenes insights into our latest episode featuring
, and kick off a conversation about the deep connections between John Boyd’s work and Drs. Jill and Robert Malone’s new book, PsyWar: Enforcing the New World Order. But before diving into that, let's build some orientation.So, how did we meet Drs. Malone? The very mediums and PsyWar tactics employed by state and non-state actors, marketers, and the censorship industrial complex—tactics that often aim to isolate us—can also be harnessed to create new interactions. We simply used X to comment on Dr. Malone’s threads about the intersections of psychological warfare and John Boyd’s theories. Our influence campaign worked, and Dr. Malone replied, ultimately leading to an invitation to connect directly.
I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Robert Malone and his wife, Dr. Jill Malone, at their residence in Northern Virginia, just outside Charlottesville. Our three-hour-plus conversation was incredibly enriching, covering the very topics we frequently explore on the No Way Out podcast. From fifth generation warfare and psychological operations to the latest advancements in cognitive neuroscience that explain how humans perceive reality, this episode dives deep into the mechanisms shaping our modern world.
My 40,000 foot view of PsyWar (Fifth GenerationWarfare)
PsyWar is a strategic game of interaction and isolation that favors those who know the game is being played. It’s a game of flow where the objective is to get inside the OODA “loop” of your adversary, customer, or ally. Everyone on the planet participates in this game, yet few—very few—are aware that it is even being played. Drs. Jill and Robert Malone have experienced this strategic game of interaction and isolation in ways that few Americans have, and their insights are invaluable for anyone who wants to make sense of our rapidly changing world.
