Be A Happy Warrior In The 5th Generation Information War For Our Country
Because The Happy Warrior Is The Best Warrior
Keep in mind as you look at the current news/social media digital landscape that some people can't change their outlook even as the circumstances change around them.
Some alternative/social news media outlets and influencers have spent years building a business model where we the Trump base and the Anon community are
1. Outcasts
2. Losing
3. Mostly powerless, on the outside looking in
4. Focused on battles we’ve lost
These are the ones that are REALLY STRUGGLING right now to deal with what's happened. They’re struggling to deal with ALL THE WINNING.
They're not empowering you, inspiring you, showing you where to fight and how to win. Some are even trying to convince you we’ve already lost and the big election win is just a sad illusion that will soon give way to the brutal reality that Trump isn’t going to really change anything in a second term.
Their business model is different. They focus almost exclusively on the negative.
They may have served a purpose when we WERE supposedly losing and we WERE supposedly societally/culturally marginalized.
Or at least, inside the Fake News Media Matrix, we **appeared to be** losing and marginalized.
But we really were not.
Imagine that.
Conservative/MAGA news media/social influencer outlets dedicated to sharing content with you **based on the unquestioning acceptance of a Fake News Media Matrix ILLUSION** that we’re all losing and culturally marginalized when we’re not.
How in the world could THAT be mentally healthy?
If they can’t even figure out that most of the content they’re sharing with their audience is based on a Fake News deception, how good is their analysis of current events?
You may have noticed, as I have, that most of these kinds of MAGA/Conservative outlets have a vested interest in PRETENDING NOT TO SEE how we have changed the battlespace and how the ground has shifted in our favor.
These social media accounts shifted right from pontificating about how ‘Too Big To Rig’ was a stupid strategy that would never work to effortlessly segueing to how that idiot Trump is now screwing up most of his Cabinet picks.
No postmortem on how they got it wrong on the election, that Trump actually COULD get past the cheaters using the Too Big To Rig Strategy. They would view an accurate self-assessment of their performance leading up to and during the election as damage to their brand. This is why you very rarely, if ever, see such accounts making an admission that they got something wrong.
Currently such outlets and influencers are struggling to admit just how MUCH we are winning and advancing right now across the American cultural spectrum.
They seem to think the best fighters in this 5th Generation Information War for our country are people who think they're losing on all fronts; their backs are to the wall, and they are facing total annihilation.
I guess the motto would be, “A desperate, panicked man full of fear fights harder, better, and smarter than a happy warrior full of hope, love and optimism!”
They constantly paint the enemy as being MORE POWERFUL than you, tricking you, mocking you, marching forward to inevitable victory over you.
More than once, these fear and doom-mongering outlets and influencer accounts have looked at people like me and screamed for us to STOP, that we’re going to make people COMPLACENT and PASSIVE.
This is because they think THE BEST FIGHTER in this war is one who is constantly motivated by their FEARS and is induced to frantic action by PANIC and OUTRAGE.
But there is a massive problem with media outlets and social media influencers who pursue this kind of ‘brand’ and ‘business model’ to build a following and generate revenue for themselves.
And it’s a reason I’ve been speaking out against it and will continue to urge them to abandon this kind approach.
This kind of strategy MENTALLY WEARS PEOPLE DOWN and EXHAUSTS THEM.
These people doing this are HARMING their audience psychologically.
The whole point of The Great Awakening was to expose the psychological manipulations of the Fake News Media Matrix and create a better alternative media.
And we’re not creating a better Alternative Media if we’re emotionally and mentally manipulating our audience for clicks, views, and cash.
Outrage will always sell. Fear will sell. Doom and panic will draw you an audience to look at the awful picture you are painting. It’s true. People engage in this kind of business model because it WORKS.
I would not deny it.
However, I can and will STRONGLY CRITICIZE IT and call out the people engaging in it.
My ultimate goal is not to build a brand and cash in.
It’s to WIN THE WAR FOR OUR COUNTRY.
And we’re not gonna do that if a sizable part of the Trump/MAGA base is mentally worn down and psychologically and emotionally exhausted by carnival barker MAGA media out for clicks that refuse to stop abusing and exploiting them.
The Happy Warrior is the BEST WARRIOR.
Andrew Breitbart KNEW THIS.
MAKE THE DECISION TO BE A HAPPY WARRIOR.
Not a depressed one who constantly scans the horizon in fear and is obsessed with loserthink.
Practice WINNERTHINK.
Walk TOWARDS THE FIGHT with a smile.
Recognize which media outlets and social media influencers want you scared, fearful, panicked, expecting to be defeated, and cynical about your chances to win.
For some people, this is a psychological flaw. They can't help it. For others, it's a BUSINESS MODEL that works. Selling panic, fear, and worry will never go out of style. Unfortunately.
But you will NEVER be at your most effective at this fight to save our country if you're constantly listening to those who mentally beat you down every other day even though they may THINK they are helping the cause.
I don't just write these posts about the Fake News Media. Many people just assume I'm talking about not watching MSNBC or reading The New York Times.
Well, I'm not.
I'm talking about people who run popular Conservative/MAGA/Alternative news media sites, as well as social media influencers.
GUARD YOUR MIND.
Just because someone is on our side does not mean they are being EFFECTIVE at empowering and inspiring you in this information war.
Some have learned, especially on Xcom, just how LUCRATIVE it can be to sell panic, doom, gloom, and outrage and shovel out a staggering amount of it every day.
Day after day, week after week, month after month, a constant drumbeat of "OMG THIS IS TERRIBLE, THIS IS HORRIBLE, HERE'S HOW WE JUST LOST **AGAIN!**"
Notice WHICH ACCOUNTS show up after every major Trump/MAGA win to piss in the punch and give their analysis as to why "This doesn't mean anything, it doesn't change anything, what are you getting excited about?"
I mean as a practice. This is what they do ALL DAY LONG.
A steady diet of that every damn day and you will end up not only mentally exhausted and feeling paralyzed and emotionally thinking, 'Ah, what's the use!?', but you'll also have formed a bubble around yourself where you can't ACTUALLY SEE what's happening around you. Your mind has been captured.
If I wanted to spend ALL DAY finding the bad news - real or imagined - it'd be incredibly EASY for me to do that.
Learn to use social media in a positive way to inspire yourself and uplift yourself and others.
We are winning every day, but if you never LOOK AT THAT WINNING and you don't follow accounts that will SHOW YOU THAT WINNING, you only follow outlets and accounts that fill your head with how badly we’re LOSING, you're going to end up in a bad place.
And I don’t want you to be in a bad place.
I want you all in a very GOOD PLACE.
Especially now.

‘Just because someone is on our side does not mean they are being EFFECTIVE at empowering and inspiring you in this information war.’ That’s why I never watch this kind of approach to our battles, and typically only read, including some perspectives I don’t agree with. I’ve worked very hard to be unemotional about anything I hear and read until I ‘discern’ the purpose and credibility.
You’re right, Brian! This IS the time it’s most important for us to be mentally fit! Blessings!🙏
I appreciate the words of wisdom, Brian. How about listing some of the outlets that you're referring to? Besides yourself, I regularly follow X22, Patel Patriot and Burning Bright on Badlands, LT on And We Know when I have the time, and Sundance at Conservative Treehouse. I also subscribe to email posts from a slew of sources and a number of MAGA Patriots on Telegram.
