Summary
- Insurgency as an organised political struggle by a hostile minority seeking power through revolutionary means.
- Counterinsurgency and how it infiltrates and eradicates non-state actors.
- How central intelligence’s focus has shifted from foreign to domestic populations (evidenced by Edward Snowden’s 2013 revelations about the NSA’s data collection).
- The COVID™ era has further highlighted this trend of targeting those who do their own research.
- Big Philanthropy plays a huge role in shaping narratives (such as George Soros’s Open Society).
- Facebook’s suspicious origins and the role of the CIA and central intelligence in media.
