War

Noun.*Short form of warrant. A command to seize property not in possession of a political state, or a feudal lord, in which the state, or lord, has an equitable title claim, in which the party, or state, in possession refuses to release the property.

Verb:The serving of a warrant upon a belligerent and seizing by force.

2.War typically is the domain of feudal lords, in which the Prime minister, President, or King enjoys privilege, as does his officers, and the vassals/citizens/subjects sacrifice their lives in service to their lord. As such, there are rules of engagement. One privilege of the game is that you do not kill the king, and you give his officers preferential treatment. You also suspend certain requirements under law, such as, under a declaration of war it is “okay” to kill members of the opposite side, even though they are acting under orders with no specific evil intent themselves. See: Police action.

In 2002, they told us: “Remove Saddam, and democracy will sweep the Middle East.” Then came Libya, Syria, Iran… 20+ years later, they still want more wars. If someone wants America in another disastrous Middle East war they are not your ally. They’re your handler.

Fifth-generation warfare (often abbreviated as 5GW or 5th generation warfare) is a conceptual framework describing an evolved form of conflict that goes beyond traditional kinetic (physical) military engagements. It emphasizes non-kinetic actions—primarily information manipulation, perception management, cyber operations, social engineering, misinformation/disinformation campaigns, and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and autonomous systems.Core Definition and CharacteristicsThere is no universally agreed-upon definition, and the concept remains controversial in military theory. It builds on the "generations of warfare" model popularized in the late 20th century (originating from analysts like William S. Lind), which categorizes warfare evolution as follows:

• 1st Generation: Ancient to early modern line-and-column tactics with massed manpower (e.g., phalanxes, pike formations).
• 2nd Generation: Industrial-era firepower concentration (e.g., rifled weapons, machine guns, WWI trench warfare).
• 3rd Generation: Maneuver warfare with speed and surprise (e.g., Blitzkrieg in WWII).
• 4th Generation: Asymmetric, decentralized conflicts blurring combatants/civilians, often involving insurgents, terrorism, and non-state actors (e.g., Vietnam War, post-9/11 insurgencies).

5GW is often described as:

• A war of "information and perception" (per Daniel Abbot).
• Conducted on an omnipresent battlefield (no clear front lines; everywhere, including cyberspace and minds).
• Primarily non-kinetic, but can mix with kinetic elements.
• Involving super-empowered individuals, non-state actors, or states manipulating contexts to achieve goals without direct confrontation.
• Exploiting cognitive biases, data-driven influence, and technologies to sow division, fear, or paralysis.

Key features include:

• Blurring war/peace, combatant/civilian.
• Unattributable attacks (e.g., cyber incidents disguised as accidents).
• Psychological and societal disruption over physical destruction.
• Use of social media, deepfakes, propaganda, economic pressure, and AI for influence operations.

Recognition and Criticism

The term emerged around 2003 (coined by Robert Steele) but is not formally recognized in mainstream military doctrine everywhere. Original 4GW theorist William S. Lind rejected it, arguing 4GW hadn't fully matured. Some scholars view it as overhyped or indistinguishable from advanced 4GW/hybrid warfare. Others see real-world trends aligning with it, overlapping with concepts like China's "Unrestricted Warfare" (1999 book emphasizing non-military means).

Examples Often Cited

• Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. elections (disinformation on social media to polarize society).
• ISIS online recruitment and propaganda inspiring lone-wolf attacks.
• Cyberattacks (e.g., Colonial Pipeline ransomware disrupting infrastructure).
• Influence campaigns during conflicts like Ukraine (narrative battles alongside kinetic fighting).
• Debates around COVID-19 misinformation or social media-driven unrest (e.g., Arab Spring as a precursor).

In essence, 5GW represents a shift where winning hearts, minds, and narratives can be more decisive than battlefield victories, often making conflicts invisible or deniable to the public. It's a theoretical lens for understanding modern hybrid threats rather than a proven, distinct "generation."

Child deaths in wars:

Iraq: 3,100 in 14 years.

Syria: 12,000 in 11 years.

Yemen: 3,700 in 7 years.

Ukraine: 701+ in 3 years.

Palestine: 50,000+ killed/injured in 600 days.

Does the world condemn the killing of children or is it complicated when it is Middle Eastern children?

The US Govt has been captured by warmongering corporations which make money by killing millions of people. The US Govt killed over 20 million people in 37 victim nations since WW2.

August 2023: Can the United States fight a war? Biden has drained our strategic oil reserves and only 20% of it remains (needed in war), we are no longer energy independent and must get oil from other countries; he depleted our supply of ammunition (sent it to Ukraine). If we’re in WWIII, how are we going to support our military?

John Boyd (military strategist)

He identified key steps in combat, gradations in tactics:

1. Observe: you observe all the time , situational awareness
2. Orient: orient yourself to the context of where you fit at any particular time and place
3. Act; you could act based on your observation and orientation
4. Decide based on your observation and orientation, instead of Act...you could decide not to act at that time and go back to Observe... or you could decide to Act.

When you Act it alters the world and you have to go back to Observe.

Boyd’s Generations of Warfare:

• Generation #1 You prevent the enemy from acting
• Generation #2 You prevent the enemy from making effective decisions
• Generations #3 You prevent the enemy from being able to orient themselves to the changing environment that you’re setting up.
• Generation #4 You interfere in the enemy’s ability to orient and find a context
• Generation #5: You interfere with the enemy’s ability observe.

In 4G warfare you don’t know you’re under attack and won’t, until you’ve been defeated and it’s too late to even respond. It could be said that China and the WEF are practicing 4G warfare against America, for example.

It’s also said that educated patriots in America are practicing 5G warfare through the information war which is altering the ability of the CCP and the WEF to continue with it’s 4G warfare. The one thing 4G warfare tactics can’t deal with is exposure. 4G warfare requires secrecy. Unrestricted Warfare from the book written by the CCP is all about the secret takeover of other countries.

(Thanks to Cliff High for this analysis!) Cliff High suggests another generation of warfare, 6G which changes the context of the world. Even if we let them observe, orient, decide, act - they do so in a context that we create and they won’t know we created it. They are reacting to us and we’ve already won as soon as we’ve created the context.

Boyd divided warfare into three distinct elements:

1. Morale Warfare the destruction of the enemy's will to win, disruption of alliances (or potential allies) and induction of internal fragmentation. It ideally results in the "dissolution of the moral bonds that permit an organic whole [organization] to exist, " the breaking down the mutual trust and common outlook mentioned in the paragraph above.
2. Mental Warfarethe distortion of the enemy's perception of reality by disinformation, ambiguous posturing, and/or severing of the communication/information infrastructure
3. Physical Warfare; the abilities of physical resources such as weapons, people, and logistical assets.

Albert Pike:

"The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The divergences caused by the "agentur" (agents) of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions."

"The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine . During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm."

"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil.

“Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.”
