Just watched @MikeBenzCyber’s stream on the Minnesota & THIS IS WILD Maria Stephan, was the CIA’s director of “nonviolent action” at USIP Now she’s training domestic terrorists. She’s on record saying “non-violence” includes blowing up pipelines! 😳 https://t.co/8ecXBEw8ke

Video Transcript AI Summary
First speaker: Has America ever engaged in a general strike? Like, that’s enough. We’re not showing up to work tomorrow? Second speaker: We’ve never had a general strike. But this Friday on January twenty-third, there is an ice out of Minnesota, day of action. It’s a shutdown day where people will be staying home from work, refusing to participate in economic activities. So a power and they’re calling on Americans across the country to show solidarity. First speaker: One of the problems with Minnesota right now is you have people like Kristi Noem or the people who are heading up ICE saying that it’s not nonviolent resistance. They’re saying someone like Renee Good was actually a threat to those people or that filming an ICE agent—or documenting, which is perfectly legal—is a form of threat, and therefore they justify using violence in return to the threat of violence from these people. What do you do when what your nonviolent action is perceived as violence by the people who can use violence against you? Second speaker: Declaring peaceful protesters violent or domestic terrorists or outside agitators is what autocrats all around the world do. That is their playbook, is to make people fearful and to try to undermine the legitimacy of protesters. So what are we seeing in Minneapolis right now? What have we seen in our history in this country? Think about the civil rights movement, profound state violence used against protesters. They prepared, they trained, they role played, they organized all to make that political violence backfire. Think of Selma, the peaceful march. So when peaceful disciplined protesters confronted the dogs, the hoses, the response—It revealed the cruelty when the disciplined protesters were faced with this form of violence. And so that’s how disciplined nonviolent resistance can make state violence repression backfire.

Speaker 0: Let's talk about let's talk about let's talk about things like a general strike. Has has America it's very European thing to have a general strike. Has America ever engaged in a general strike? Like, that's enough. We're not showing up to work tomorrow? Speaker 1: So we've never had a general strike. But I can say what's happening this Friday on January twenty third, there is an ice out of Minnesota, day of action. It's a shutdown day where people will be staying home from work. They won't be going refusing to participate in economic activities. So a power and they're calling on Americans across the country to show solidarity. Speaker 0: One of the problems with Minnesota right now is you have people like Kristi Noem or the people who are heading up ICE saying that it's not nonviolent resistance. They're saying someone like Renee Good was actually a threat to those people or that filming an ICE agent or they're saying that filming an ICE and documenting, which is perfectly legal, is a form of threat, and therefore they're justifies to use what they say violence in return to the threat of violence from these people. What do you do when what your nonviolent action is perceived of or called violence by the people who can use violence against you? Speaker 1: Yeah. Declaring peaceful protesters violent or domestic terrorists or outside agitators is what autocrats all around the world do. That is their playbook, is to make people fearful and to try to undermine the legitimacy of protesters. That's their game. And so what are we seeing in in Minneapolis right now? What have we seen in our history in this country? Think about the civil rights movement, profound state violence used against protesters. They prepared, they trained, they role played, they organized all to make that political violence backfire. Think of Selma, the peaceful march. So when peaceful disciplined protesters confronted the, you know, the dogs, the hoses, the response It revealed the cruelty when the disciplined protesters were faced with this form of violence. And so that's how disciplined nonviolent resistance can make state violence repression backfire.

✔️ Hands in pockets ✔️ Un-shined boots ✔️ Brown boots on a SWO ✔️ Camo at an official function ✔️ Plastic jacket instead of wool peacoat No single photo sums up Admiral Lisa Franchetti’s short tenure as CNO better. All that’s missing? A rusty warship in the background. https://t.co/lOvqgWnbdm

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

Her first order as CNO—no joke—was letting all Navy sailors put their hands in their pockets. So… are we keeping that policy?

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

Just got word from a senior naval officer: @USNavyCNO Admiral Lisa Franchetti has been fired! This comes right after the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Brown being let go.

I opened my NYTimes app and noticed how quickly news fades from the homepage, revealing a broken liberal deep state system. The NYTimes isn't just reporting; it's coordinating narratives to shape public perception. This involves a structured process where local bureau chiefs monitor stories, New York editors triage them, and narratives are crafted with input from the Deep State. Meanwhile, Trump is overwhelming this system with rapid-fire information, making it difficult for the media to maintain control. The Democrats are struggling to adapt, revealing their chaotic approach compared to Trump's strategic maneuvering.

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

I opened my NYTimes app today. They’re trying, but they can’t keep up. News that broke just hours ago is already off the homepage. THIS IS CRUCIAL The entire liberal deep state command and control system is broken. Let me explain 🧵

@JackPosobiec - Jack Poso 🇺🇸

JD VANCE: This is the new normal. Expect this rapid-fire, breakneck pace to continue for four full years

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

The NYTimes’ primary function isn’t journalism. It’s narrative coordination—setting the frame so the entire political-media machine knows how to think about an issue before it takes off. Ever notice how, overnight, everyone starts saying “Biden is sharp as a tack” or “JD Vance is weird”? It’s not random. It’s a system.

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

The Narrative Pipeline: How The Blob Operates The NYTimes, NPR, WaPo, CNN, and the rest don’t just react to news. They function as a distributed, decentralized mission command system for the Democratic Party and the broader Blob.

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

Step 1: Local Bureau Chiefs – These guys are stationed across the country, watching which stories gain traction and fielding calls from Dem operatives feeding them narratives. Stories that they need to start controlling

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

Step 2: New York Editors – Bureau chiefs snip the news and send it to NY, where an editor triages it: •Will this explode nationwide? •Will it simmer for days? •Or should we bury it?

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

Step 3: Editorial Meeting – The most concerning stories get flagged. Here, editors decide on the narrative framing and who to assign to write it.

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

But before they assign a journalist, they make one critical call—to the Deep State. Why? To give the government a head start on controlling the story. At this point, the Deep State doesn’t just say, “Here’s what happened.”

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

They strategically select sources based on the tone they want. •If they need hawkish China rhetoric, they have a “China hardliner” expert on speed dial. •If they want to downplay a Chinese spy scandal, they go to a “dovish” China expert who will say it’s being blown out of proportion. •If it’s a military scandal, they pick a “trustworthy” retired general to subtly steer the discussion toward a desired conclusion. This isn’t journalism—it’s perception warfare.

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

Once the tone is set, the editor assigns the story and suggests the approved sources to call. The journalist’s job is simple: •Get quotes from the right experts. •Write it up. •Stick to the approved angles If something goes wrong with the angle (e.g. a source exposes it as a lie) they return to the editor for “guidance”

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

Occasionally, a journalist oversteps. If it’s minor, it passes. If it’s major, the editor kills the piece, buries it on page 16, or reassigns it to a more trusted writer to “correct” the framing. Overstep too many times and your reassigned to local news or gently (it’s not your fault, we LOVE your spark, just downsizing) let go Do a really good job sticking to the approved script you’ll get awards or book deals and travel assignments Nobody flatly says “this award isn’t for toeing the party line” because that would expose the scam No, these journalist are smart. They either pick up on the reward incentives or they are gently pushed aside.

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

Suddenly, every news outlet, late-night host, and blue check is reinforcing the same message. And because they aren’t technically taking orders, they think it’s their own independent analysis. This is why the narrative feels so unified. No one’s forcing compliance—it’s a system that rewards alignment.

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

Now each individual pundit and blog is allowed to post independently but they all know unconsciously to work the narrative because that’s where the rewards are. If someone breaks the narrative in a bug way intentionally there are three options: 1) smear campaign to make them toxic 2) ban them from the system (wikipedia blacklist, social media throttle, no DC party invites, no pentagon press pass, etc) 3) turn them into a double agent who claims to buck the narrative but subtly shifts things left (@bariweiss is the ultimate genius at this)

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

Not all stories emerge organically. Sometimes, the Deep State calls first. •A senior editor gets a call: •“Everyone in DC is talking about how weird JD Vance is.” •The next morning, at the editorial meeting, that becomes: •“People are saying JD Vance is weird. Let’s get some stories on that.” •Then every editor repeats it to their reporters: •“Did you hear JD Vance is weird? Let’s explore that.”

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

Suddenly, every news outlet, late-night host, and blue check is reinforcing the same message. And because they aren’t technically taking orders, they think it’s their own independent analysis. This is why the narrative feels so unified. No one’s forcing compliance—it’s a system that rewards alignment.

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

The deep state tries its best to play a soft hand. They let things emerge around the narrative and only step in if the narrative is evolving in a bad way or new information disturbs the narrative

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

So where does this organic command and control system come from? Well, the military, of course

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

Why This Matters: The Mission Command Model This decentralized coordination mirrors how the best militaries operate—through a doctrine called Mission Command.

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

A bad general micromanages: •“Move three platoons and six tanks around this road and attack the base.” A good general gives flexibility: •“Take this logistics base by X time. Figure out the best way.” A great general sets intent: •“We need to cripple their supply lines. Here’s what we know about their logistics.” The best commanders set objectives, not orders—then let their officers adapt on the ground.

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

This is exactly how the NYTimes and the Blob operate. They don’t give direct orders to every outlet. They set the intent—how the political-media machine should think about an issue. Then, think tanks, columnists, TV hosts, and activists execute their own variations of the message.

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

Why Republicans Keep Losing the Narrative War Republicans don’t have this. •No clear commander’s intent. •No unified messaging framework. •No ecosystem where think tanks, media, and party strategists move in the same direction. Instead, it’s chaotic, reactive, and uncoordinated.

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

Meanwhile, Democrats operate like a well-oiled Mission Command system—not because of a single top-down controller, but because every key player understands their role in pushing the message. And until Republicans build a competing system, they’ll always be playing defense.

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

BUT TRUMP HAS BROKEN THE DEMS MISSION COMMAND SYSTEM The famed fighter pilot John Boyd (who literally wrote the manual for top gun) Came up with the OODA LOOP https://amzn.to/4jDBVMB

Amazon.com amazon.com

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

OODA is a process for making better calculated decisions faster Observe Orient Decide Act https://t.co/oBrTQty7rC

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

I can’t go into all the details on how the food system works, if you can throw a LOT of information at an enemy Information of all kinds, including false information They start to get overloaded This is what is called THE FOG OF WAR

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

Now military have been doing fake attacks and fake information and maneuvering around objectives for centuries but what Boyd found is you can’t just overload the enemy system because your troops will also get overloaded with information

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

What you have to do is MOVE and adapt l. Thrown out a ton of information then let your officers change frequently In the field an officer might bypass the logistics base and go for the train rail but then misinformation causes the enemy to abandon the base so the officer will turn around and destroy it In a fighter jet you might fly straight so the enemy things you have a problem then when he’s on your tail most people would push the throttle… Boyd said it might be better to drop the flops as a break to make the enemy fly right past you Be unpredictable !

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

Boyd called this “maneuver warfare” because you’re always maneuvering around the enemy If you can not only throw out more information, but move a lot faster then your enemy and change tactics on the fly you will “get inside the enemy’s ooda loop” and win easily

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

This is exactly what TRUMP is doing The sheer number of stories is absolutely overloading the New York Times app New York Times editors do not have time to coordinate with the deep state and coax the process Trump is completely overloading the information distribution system

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

And he’s not just overloaded the system but he’s moving FAST and adapting tactics Instance in Panama, he was demanding the canal, but then when he went down, there took a quick win with giving Navy ship’s free transit and kicking China Then he’s onto Canadian tariffs before the New York Times editors can figure out what the hell happened in Panama And well before they can develop a narrative for Panama

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

Boyd didn’t just teach us how to defeat the enemy—he taught us how to recognize when you’re already winning. The easiest way to tell? The enemy starts making really dumb moves. They waste ammo shooting into empty forests, convinced you’re still there—when you actually left two days ago. They fly in a senior general to bark orders, trying to reassert control over a situation already spiraling out of their hands. Sound familiar? That’s exactly what the Democrats are doing right now. Chuck Schumer is firing off a constant stream of bombastic orders, desperate to override events he can’t control. The media is fixated on asinine distractions—like the price of eggs—while the real war is being fought elsewhere. When the enemy is losing, they can’t see the forest for the trees. Take the aid collapse—a massive exposure of corruption. Instead of grasping the real problem, Democrats have tunnel vision, obsessing over physical access to the building rather than the deeper rot it’s exposing. And when they’re really losing? They go after the general. Boyd taught us that when an enemy is out of options, they target the figurehead, hoping to break morale. That’s exactly what’s happening with Elon. But a great general knows the game. Patton famously commanded a full fake army during D-Day, letting the enemy fixate on him while lower-level officers did the real work. And that’s where we are now. The Democrats are flailing, distracted, and losing control. Meanwhile, the real fight is happening far below their line of sight.

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

In short the sheer number of stories on the NYTimes app right now, no deep clear narrative, tunnel focus on things that don’t matter, and bombastic attempts by generals like Schumer and AOC…. Whole point to one irrefutable fact. TRUMP IS LITERALLY RUNNING CIRCLES AROUND THEM

@johnkonrad - John Ʌ Konrad V

Did Boyd teach us how to defeat masterful maneuver warfare like the kind Trump is executing now? YES. But… 1️⃣ Maneuver warfare is insanely hard to stop. In any scenario, it’s designed to keep the enemy off balance. 2️⃣ What looks chaotic is actually a well-planned assault. Trump isn’t just making one move at a time—he’s prepped multiple maneuvers for every possible response. If Democrats attack a specific front, he simply drops one plan and picks up another—fully baked, ready to go. He’s had years to refine this. The Democrats? They’re starting from scratch. 3️⃣ Maneuver warfare isn’t just about the “four-stars” (Elon, JD, Hegseth) or even the “three-stars” (Cabinet Secretaries). The real game is won by the one-stars and two-stars—the undersecretaries, chiefs of staff, and frontline commanders. And Democrats? They haven’t even begun to focus on the actual battlefield command center—guys like @michaelgwaltz, a literal Green Beret who spent two decades mastering maneuver warfare. 4️⃣ I’m not about to explain how they can win in a Twitter thread. If Democrats want a shot, they’ll have to start reading John Boyd themselves. JK OUT
