Notable Quotable 401
The battlefield is no longer physical—it is psychological—and the American people are the targets. From AI-manipulated narratives and National Guard psyops to loyalty scorecards for businesses, the Deep State’s war on truth and independent thought is no longer covert. It is coordinated, calculated, and by design. Yet while both major parties—long in service to the Deep State—have weaponized mass communication to shape public opinion, the Trump administration is elevating it into a new art form that combines meme warfare, influencer psyops, and viral digital content to control narratives and manufacture consensus. In doing so, President Trump and his influencers are capitalizing on a propaganda system long cultivated by the security-industrial complex.
What we’re witnessing is not just propaganda. It is psychological warfare.
- John and Nisha Whitehead, “The U.S. Government Is Waging Psychological War on its Citizens”
When you tear out a man’s tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you’re only telling the world that you fear what he might say.
- George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings
Withholding information is the essence of tyranny. Control of the flow of information is the tool of the dictatorship.
- Bruce Coville
Hegelian dialectic—a psychological tool used to manipulate the masses. In this case, you create a problem, wait for the reaction, and then offer the solution. What people historically fail to realize, though, is that those offering the solution are the same people who caused the problem in the first place. They also fail to realize that no matter what the solution is, it always ends up providing its creators with more power.
- Brad Thor, Black List
If you want to give more powers to the police, security agencies and military, and you want the public to demand you do it, then ensure there is more crime, violence and terrorism, and then it’s a cinch to achieve your aims. Once the people are in fear of being burgled, mugged or bombed, they will demand that you take their freedom away to protect them from what they have been manipulated to fear.
- David Icke
The nature of psychological compulsion is such that those who act under constraint remain under the impression that they are acting on their own initiative. The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free. That he is not free is apparent only to other people. His servitude is strictly objective.
- Aldous Huxley, Brave New World and Brave New World Revisited
The empire, long divided, must unite; long united, must divide. Thus it has ever been.
- Luo Guanzhong
It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.
- Epictetus
There are two distinct classes of men: those who pay taxes and those who receive and live upon taxes.
- Thomas Paine
The inefficiency of political control of an economy has been demonstrated more often, in more places, and under more varied conditions, than almost anything outside the realm of pure science.
- Thomas Sowell

And to complicate matters, now we literally cannot believe anything we see or hear second-hand.
AI has made it possible to create any scenario one wishes to convey.
And since all lies maintain a shred of truth, the division of the population becomes complete as everyone subscribes to their own version of reality.
This can be a good thing if and when we learn to make ourselves primary, and no longer cede power to outside authorities. We will learn to become so free that we cannot be touched.
