Getting the Facts Straight First

On all topics we need to get the facts straight before we can have any meaningful conversations. Joe Rogan brings up two examples regarding immigration.

1. FAR more people were deported under Obama than under Trump I and II. Look it up or see the link in the comments.

2. Hillary Clinton position on illegal immigration in 2008: Re people in the US illegally,

If they've committed a crime, deport them, no questions asked. They're gone. If they are working and law abiding, we should say, "Here are the conditions for you staying: You have to pay a stiff fine because you came here illegally. You have to pay back taxes and you have to try to learn English. And you have to wait in line."

What changed after Hillary Clinton took this strong stand that would convince her to reverse her stand? And for most elected Democrats and their supporters, what changed? What changed that would reverse their positions on warmongering, censorship, immigration, COVID mandates, experimental transgender medical interventions and the "need" for primary school teachers to confuse their students about whether they are boys or girls? How is it possible that so many people would flip their positions without a massive revelation of new facts to justify the flip? I suspect that the mechanism is social contagion (of the type discussed by Abigail Shrier), but what was the driver of the contagion? I suspected it is the highly coordinated actions by NGOs, many of whom were financed through the federal government (though USAID). The evidence is starting to pour out, starting with the Twitter Files

Here are Grok's numbers of deportations under Trump and Obama:

During Barack Obama's presidency (2009-2017), the U.S. government carried out approximately 3 million formal removals (deportations) of noncitizens. This figure refers specifically to removals, which involve a formal court order and often carry long-term consequences like bars to reentry, as defined by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Some sources cite higher totals for Obama (around 5.3 million) when including voluntary returns at the border in addition to formal removals.

During Donald Trump's first term (2017-2021), approximately 1.2 million noncitizens were formally removed. Other estimates put this at around 2.1 million when including returns.

As of late August 2025 (about seven months into Trump's second term), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had deported nearly 200,000 people. When including actions by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Coast Guard, and self-deportations, the total rises to nearly 350,000 deportations since January 2025. By September 2025, this number would likely be slightly higher but still far below Obama's totals.

Overall, far more illegal immigrants were deported under Obama than under Trump's second term to date (or even his first term).

Rogan's conclusion, we are being subjected to a "massive concentrated psyop."

Grok on PsyOp:

A psyop, short for psychological operation, refers to planned activities designed to influence the perceptions, emotions, attitudes, and behaviors of targeted audiences, often through the dissemination of information, propaganda, or other non-violent means. In a military context, psyops are used by armed forces—such as the U.S. Army's Psychological Operations (PSYOP) units—to convey selected messages that support strategic objectives, like persuading enemies to surrender or building support among allies. This can involve tactics such as leaflet drops, broadcasts, social media campaigns, or cultural engagements to shape opinions without direct combat.

The term is closely related to psychological warfare (sometimes called PSYWAR), which encompasses broader efforts to demoralize opponents or rally support using misinformation, rumors, or symbolic actions. Outside of official military use, "psyop" is sometimes invoked colloquially or in conspiracy theories to describe perceived manipulative campaigns by governments, media, or other entities, though this is more informal slang than a formal definition.

About “You”

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.

Ubiquitous “News” Based on Classified Leaks

Well stated by Green Lives Matter and Tulsi Gabbard:

Tulsi Gabbard explains how the intelligence community uses leaks from "anonymous sources" to usurp the President of the United States and undermine the will of the people.

Coincidentally, The New York Times just published an article that cites "unidentified sources" from an alleged classified operation in North Korea that could tarnish Trump's relationship with Kim Jong Un and further diminish his image.

It's the same exact playbook every single time. Listen to Tulsi explain:

These people have gotten away with these kinds of activities for so long because they're protected by an entire system that is built to shield their nefarious activities. They do this with the assistance of the deep state and the propaganda media... This happens frequently.

Someone in the intelligence community leaks classified intelligence to their friends in the propaganda media. Those individuals in the media eagerly print this classified intelligence from "unnamed sources" then we see other people in the media talk about this "classified" intelligence. No one has verified it. No one has done any kind of vetting. No one has done any basic journalist work.

And then we see politicians repeating and talking about what was leaked to the media. We've seen how this tried and true playbook that is used over and over again to smear their opponents and, in President Trump's case, to be used as a basis for FBI raids on his home, lawfare, impeachments, endless investigations, and so forth. . . . 

This is what we are talking about when we talk about the deep state. It's not some grand conspiracy theory; it is a conspiracy to undermine the Constitution, but this is the reality we are operating in. It is important to be clear-eyed about it so we can combat it with the truth. This is why exposing the truth is so important to bring about that real transparency and accountability.

People have become well aware of the insidious nature of the mainstream media and the playbooks they use. Far more awake than ever before.

About the Creation of the Peer Review Process

Eric Weinstein: "If you screwed up covid this badly by getting inside of the Lancet and Nature. Peer review is this fake thing that supposedly stretches back to the founding of the Royal Society. And it's very clear from the scholarship around it that it comes out of the period between 1965 and 1975 initiated by the Medicare Act, predicated on the need for editors for the journal expansion, founded by Pergamon Press and Robert Maxwell. By 1975 there's a giant battle between the [National Science Foundation] NSF and both fiscal and cultural conservatives against something called “Man: A Course of Study” (MACOS), where peer review was born in a Utah clinic. [It] came out of the medical literature because the federal government in 1965 with The Medicare Act picked up the need to pay for so many medical procedures. They wanted to say "Why are we assigning this many medical procedures?" The doctors circled the wagons and said, "We will peer review each other." Then in night, by 1975 the NSF was under the microscope, and they used peer review as a self defense of last resort to say we will be reviewing each other, right? Peer review is a myth."
