Is World War III Already Here? Charlie Robinson on 5th-Gen Warfare, AI Control Systems & Technocracy

Is the U.S. already fighting World War III—but it's a different type of war? In this episode of The Rice Report, Eric Rice talks with author, researcher, and Activist Post editor Charlie Robinson about fifth-generation warfare: a conflict waged not with tanks and missiles, but with psychology, economics, and technology. Charlie breaks down how fear, comfort, and AI are being weaponized to shape public behavior—and why the distractions dominating headlines (Venezuela, digital currency, promises of a "golden age") may be serving a very different purpose than we're told. In this conversation: → Why comfort has become a tool of mass influence → The case for AI as a "weapon of mass comfort" → How centralized banking could be replaced—but not in the way you'd expect → The intersection of faith, technology, and power in shaping what comes next We're not doing left vs. right here. It's about understanding the game being played, and how we are all pawns.♟️♟️♟️ 🎧 New here? Subscribe for unfiltered conversations on money, power, and the future.
