It turns out that you need to take good care of your brain, protecting it from parasites. If you don’t there will be consequences.

If you are not aggressively doubting, investigating and fighting for your personal autonomy every hour, you are no longer the author of “your” thoughts. As Soloman Asch warned us, if you aren’t pushing back hard against your own people, you will become a mere sock puppet.

For much more, see Robert Malone’s new book, PsyWar. I’m half-way thorugh. This summary is by Grok (though I’ve tweaked it a bit:

* Robert W. Malone MD, MS, an mRNA technology pioneer and physician-scientist, and Jill Glasspool Malone PhD. Psywar delves into the mechanisms of modern psychological warfare, or “PsyWar,” which the authors define as government-orchestrated campaigns using propaganda, censorship, and psychological operations (psyops) to manipulate public opinion and behavior.

* The book focuses on how these tactics have been deployed against the American people, drawing from historical contexts to contemporary applications. It argues that PsyWar is a tool for enforcing a “New World Order” through techno-totalitarianism and global control structures. Specifically addressing 5th generation psyops—often tied to fifth-generation warfare—the text explores asymmetric, information-based conflicts that blend psychological manipulation with technology, surveillance, and behavioral control to achieve dominance without traditional military engagement. Malone, known for his critiques of COVID-19 policies and vaccine mandates, frames these as examples of psychological bioterrorism and administrative state overreach.

* Key topics covered include:

* – **Propaganda and Behavioral Control**: Techniques for shaping public perceptions and actions through media and information manipulation.
* – **Psychological Bioterrorism**: The use of fear-based psyops in health crises to enforce compliance.
* – **Deep State Censorship and Surveillance Capitalism**: How government and corporate entities collaborate to monitor and suppress dissent.
* – **Fifth-Generation Warfare**: Non-kinetic strategies emphasizing psyops, cyber elements, and hybrid threats to undermine societies.
* – **PsyWar Tactics and Techno-Totalitarianism**: Modern tools like AI-driven censorship and data exploitation for totalitarian ends.
* – **The New World Order and Global Control**: Visions of centralized power structures enabled by these warfare methods.

* The authors emphasize the critical role of free speech in countering these threats, advocating for a return to constitutional principles to resist totalitarian creep and restore personal sovereignty. The book has been discussed in podcasts and reviews as a call to action against perceived government psyops, particularly in the context of recent global events.

One more recent excellent book for these troubled times: “The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense” by Gad Saad, an evolutionary behavioral scientist and professor at Concordia University in Montreal. I have read most of this book.

From Grok:

Saad argues that certain “idea pathogens”—harmful ideologies spread like viruses—are undermining free thought, reason, and common sense in Western societies, particularly within universities. Saad draws from his background in evolutionary psychology to explain how these ideas infect minds and behaviors, leading to phenomena like political correctness, identity politics, cancel culture, and the suppression of dissenting views.
The book is structured around Saad’s personal experiences, including his upbringing in Lebanon during civil unrest, which shaped his views on freedom and truth. He introduces concepts like “Ostrich Parasitic Syndrome” (OPS), where people bury their heads in the sand to avoid uncomfortable truths while being parasitized by bad ideas. Saad critiques progressive movements in academia, such as safe spaces, trigger warnings, and the erosion of meritocracy, framing them as threats to intellectual diversity and scientific inquiry.
Key topics include:
* Idea Pathogens and Their Spread: How irrational beliefs propagate through social mechanisms, akin to biological parasites.
* Attacks on Free Speech: Examples from campuses where controversial opinions are silenced.
* Evolutionary Psychology Insights: Using human behavior science to dissect why people adopt harmful ideologies.
* Personal Anecdotes: Saad’s encounters with censorship and backlash for his views.
* Call to Action: Strategies for combating these “parasites” by promoting courage, reason, and open dialogue.
