Individuals who went against the traditional gender binary were heavily involved in the cult of Inanna.1 During late Babylonian times, slaves who worked in Inanna's temples were sometimes branded with the seal of the eight-pointed star.2 The Sumerians worshipped Inanna as the goddess of both warfare and love.3
The history of the word war has its roots from many languages.
In Old English, ‘wyrre’ or ‘werre’ meant “large-scale military conflict.” From Old North French, ‘guerre’ meant “difficulty, dispute; hostility; fight, combat,” and in Old German ‘werran’ or ‘verwirren’ meant “to confuse, perplex.” The common etymological root suggests the word was derived from the original sense of “to bring into confusion.”4
Has our society been brought into a state of strategic confusion?
Is present day difficulty and dispute a sign of a well organized war effort?
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. — Sun Tzu5
In a previous post, I described Daniel H. Abbott’s nGW framework and how various gradients of warfare have evolved. Fifth Gradient Warfare, also called 5th Generation Warfare (i.e., 5GW), is characterized as an attack strategy which occurs below the threshold of observation from an imperceivable opponent.
5GW is described as a moral and cultural war fought by manipulating the perception of contextual information, where the aggressor is never identified. Counterinsurgency requires that the aggressor is forced to reveal itself and engage in a lower gradient of war. 5GW is a form of perception management that produces strategic defeat or surrender, and requires less resources compared with lower gradients.
Are you paying attention?
Media curated chaos, confusion, and utter nonsense, is no mistake.
The purpose of war is the acquisition of power. In a Theory of War, Carl von Clausewitz6 claimed that war is “a duel on a larger scale,” where its purpose was “a continuation of politics by another means.”
Look past the many useful idiots. The high level actors we mistake as clowns are not genuine fools, they not making unintentional error.
Each act either contributes or distracts from the inflationary policies quickly dissolving our systems. Its purpose is to usher in a new age of technocratic totalitarianism organized as two-tiered neo-feudalism; the haves and have-nots. This variety of totalitarianism tempts its tyrants with a promise of absolute control over all people, including their thoughts, their environment, and frankly, all life itself.
This is fifth generation warfare against a subversive force pursuing absolute power.
Us audience members are too easily entertained by the many public actors who carry out theatrics with their right hand, but advance this totalitarian agenda with their invisible left. Compartmentalization turns the ignorant, but well meaning, into drones that hum to the tunes of their own subjugation. Like schisms of addiction, they thoughtlessly destroy the world their ancestors paid for with blood.
As mere ants who inhabit the physical world, we are easily dominated by the invisible principalities of wickedness and the rulers of darkness. Sadly, we have yet to learn the true consequences of the recent bio-warfare campaigns, which are slowly coming to light through testimonies like Dr. Janci Lindsay — but who is even paying attention?
“We don’t give experimental products to pregnant women; we don’t give experimental products to babies that have a death profile like this. It’s not done; it’s never been done before. Please protect your citizens; please, I am begging you to protect your citizens. We’ve got to get one state to stand up and do the right thing; do whatever you can so that other states will follow.”
Yes, this is war, and it happens to be on many, many fronts. In health physics, danger is defined as the product of hazard, its probability and biological exposure.
What is our greatest hazard, and how can we manage our exposure to it?
I suspect the enemies of man have always been subtle and well hidden in the darkness.
If you study their books, you will find an interesting theme. Do you notice a trend to where the gradients of war lead? During the cold war, was it the atomic energy of fissile elements that kept hostility chilled, or something else? The theme and the answer to those questions is quite simply the mind. This invisible war, with invisible hands and invisible actors, plays out in the invisible world of the mind.
When the gun was pointed and its trigger pulled, how many mental operations were performed so that bullet fired in its ordained direction? The playing field is and always has been a mental playing field. Consider the popular term spiritual warfare. Spirit comes from the Latin ‘spiritus,’ which means “breath” or “breath of life.” In English, it is related to “divine mind” or “essential quality.”7 Departing from traditional notions consisting of supernatural entities, spiritual warfare can be interpreted as a conflict between the highest aspects of the mind, where primeval ideas collide through characters acted out on a material world stage.
Naturally, each level of the play has its role and importance. I would not want to venture too deeply into the woods without a physical gun, but what mental illusions lured me there? Perhaps fate would arrange the situation outside my conscious perception, but what if I had been aware? Could I make a choice not to venture too deep, never pulling the trigger? In the movie Eyes Wide Shut, what choices could Dr. William (Tom Cruise) make if he had been more aware, if he had fortified mental tools, and a strong spirit? A spirit, in this case, as a core of unshakable ideas. The movie alludes to the power of coercion enforced through a social masquerade, which causes its cult-like members to tumble into a deafening silence of unholy mass compliance.
Medusa, the mental paralysis demon, fosters evil acts by casting man into stone.
Accepting the engagement of multi-vector warfare, what fortifications can be made to the mind, and its core, the spirit? What is sufficient?
During World War II, General George S. Patton commanded the Third United States Army in France and Germany after the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944. Patton is renowned for his controversial statements, and for leading from the front. He emphasized rapid and aggressive action that proved effective, and was regarded highly by his opponents in the German High Command.
Consider these interesting quotes to strengthen your attitude toward a potential future of mental horror, economic destitution and uglier war.
1. Take action
“No good decision was ever made in a swivel chair.” — George S. Patton
Comfortably sitting in a chair or laying in bed, it’s easy to absorb information from a screen and become overconfident in our analysis and decision making skills on paper.
Medusa hypnotizes us into a state of inaction, which is the primary function of fear and gratifying propaganda. We don’t live in a paper world, we must become engaged in the real world as much as possible to produce reasonable and practical decisions.
Defeat is trivial if we offer no resistance and make stupid decisions.
2. Work hard
“A pint of sweat will save a gallon of blood.” — George S. Patton
There’s a reason we fix bridges before they break.
Understanding the situation, recognize your personal weaknesses and work to resolve those exploits as an active defence. Working hard implies a persistent and uncomfortable effort each day. If it feels too easy, take it up a notch.
3. Good enough is perfect
“A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.” — George S. Patton
Part of developing the mind is learning how to avoid its traps, and perfectionism is a nasty trap that leads to inaction and half measures.
Keep focused on tangible goals and seize opportunity. When decisive action is needed, don’t wait for the perfect moment, because it never comes.
4. Honesty is a powerful weapon
“Say what you mean and mean what you say.” — George S. Patton
Patton was known for his brutally honest and graphic speeches.
There’s enough platitudes and clichés to go around, and if we’re going to take action and give it our all, it needs to be based on truth and not some fart huffing bullshit.
Deceit and trickery is the weapon of the enemy, and it’s unlikely we’ll best a master at his own game. Truth is our weapon, and it’s a powerful one that can shatter delusions and stimulate action in the unstable drone mind.
5. Be a leader, and a good one
“Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do, and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.” — George S. Patton
Micromanagement might work in the technocratic corporate hellscape, but not on a multi-vector war front. We need to keep focused on what needs to be done and why. When it comes to creative solutions that seem impossible, descriptive directions are better than prescriptive ones.
Prescription is given to the mindless drone who merely repeats the directed action.
If we’re fighting an impossible war against an almost invincible invisible enemy, then impossible solutions from the creative mind are necessary.
6. Do what is right
“Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men.” — George S. Patton
We got to this point because of immorality, weakness and cowardice.
And more of it serves no good.
Compliance is born out of fear, and when we surrender moral ground for temporary convenience, we tighten the collar on ourselves and our descendants. Have the courage to do the right thing, and push through the weak who cower at your resolve.
7. This isn’t a 9 to 5
“Do more than is required of you.” — George S. Patton
There are many actions each of us are called to take.
(There’s no central command, that’s the Leviathan we’re up against.)
Because the Devil is always on the clock and never takes a break, we need the persistence to go above and beyond to make a difference. Pushing an extra inch always produces another mile in the long run.
The false goddess Ianna, the eight pointed star, is a high spirit of war and sexual deviance. Using false personas, she is worshipped in silence during a black mass of compliance. Which rites have you performed below the threshold of your perception?
Do not give your crown to Ianna, a vile death crone of the occult’s crypt.
Embody a spirit of strength and protection like Archangel Michael, who represents life and counters Ianna’s death rites. Become the embodiment of peace and nurturing. Bring out the real and take off the ego’s mask. Put your divine talents into action. Speak the truth. Disobey evil commands. Fortify your mind and let Michael shine.
Maybe I am a meaningless ant of the material plane, but until I get crushed, I will work tirelessly towards a vision based on the high spirit of life.
Put these 7 necessary attitudes into practice.
We are at war and preparation time fading fast.
Listen for your calling and embody the spirit of life.
Do not participate in Ianna’s death rites.

One of my AP students is having trouble with getting essays done in the time limit. I hit her with the “perfect plan” quote and the Third Army’s moving during the Bulge. Was pretty fun.
But it’s something I hammer my students on. GOOD ENOUGH? FUCK IT WE BALL.
Those Patton quotes are going up on the wall in my classroom.
