Speaker 1 (00:05):
Welcome everybody to another episode of Prepper Talk Radio. We
are the podcast for the prepared, the radio for the
ready minded, if you will, and we're excited to be here.
We're gonna talk to you guys tonight about a topic
that is you might say near and dear to our hearts,
or you could say overwhelmingly frustratingly to close to our minds.

(00:28):
We're gonna be talking about syops tonight, and I want
to remind you guys, of course we are all nutrient deficient.
Welcome to the state of the world. Before we get
into our topic, I want to remind you guys check
out our website preppertalkradio dot com. Head on over to
where it says good Life and check out. We've got
some links to the highest quality nutritional supplements out there

(00:51):
and a really cool sighte hustle that we've been doing
for six months now, and honestly, it has been so good.
It's completely changed my financial situation and I'm carrying the
way to the of the team with us. It is
so freaking fun. But that is not what we're here
to talk about. We are here to talk about the

(01:12):
worst of the worst of what's going on. In the world,
the continued onslaught of psyops everywhere. Now, before we jump
into it, let's let's see how the guys are doing.
What's happening, guys.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Well, it's not loading for me on my YouTube over here,
so I think some people are gonna be having issues tonight. So,
but it sunds like everybody else is. Well, the others
are able to upload it. You're just working there, Scott.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Mine's working great. I've also got it pulled up on
you on Facebook, so you guys could be watching from
Facebook or YouTube. Both have the engagement open. The chat
is live, so feel free to join on either one.
And with YouTube being funky right now, they just don't
want us talking about this. Apparently they're scared.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Well, it seems like this is a regular theme.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
There's a sy op to our sy op.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Well, you could say it's a nesting doll syop ay
op within a syop Russian Russian nesting dolls. Well, guys,
we're not going to have an a live next week. Uh.
I just want to give everybody a heads up. We'll
be We'll be doing a out of town on on VAK.
We'll be back the week following with a new fun

(02:28):
and exciting topic for next week. But holy crap, once
you start digging into these syops, you see him everywhere.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
And that's really the idea, right is to have your
eyes opened. If you can identify one, it's a lot
easier to then see what's coming at you. Because, Uh,
when I was preparing for this, the thought that came
to my mind is, uh, Princess Bride. You have the
scene where Princess Prince Humperdink they're trying to track down

(02:59):
the princess and and and his. The six fingered man
asked him, could this be a trap? I think everything's
a trap. That's why I'm still alive. And so that
was my first strange thought. It's like, wow, these are
all traps. Everything in the trap, and uh beware. So

(03:23):
if we can help you guys. See, and we've said
this I think many times, is once your eyes are
opened and you can begin to see, nothing looks good.
I mean it, everything looks bleak. And that's kind of
what I'm saying is the theme recurrent theme is doom
and gloom on our podcast. It seems like every week,

(03:46):
but that's all I can see. I guess, right, I
can't see the positive side.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
Well, once you know what once you know what the
enemy is doing, did you I believe it goes back
to I think it was Sansu who said in the
Art of War, if you don't you can't defeat the enemy.
You don't know anything about And so I feel like
it's very important for us to know about the enemy,
whether that enemy is a spiritual enemy or that enemy
is a physical enemy.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
It's it's very.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Important to know you know your enemy and how they
work and what kind of operations they go into. In fact,
one of the one of the interesting things about in
I believe it's in Corinthians. I believe it's I can't remember.
It's middle the middle of the book. It talks about
the spiritual gifts, and one of the spiritual gifts is
the diversity of operations. Well does that mean? It basically

(04:35):
means how things operate, you know, spiritually physically, and what
kind of the spirit how spiritually things affect our physical world.
And so there's a lot to it. There's a lot
more to it than what I just shared. But you know,
psychological operations are very powerful.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
If you can.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Defeat somebody mentally or emotionally, you don't ever have to
raise the sword. I think it was years ago that
there was a case GB officer that came They were
he defected, and they were talking about all the things
that they were going to do to put the American
people under subject under subjugation. But he said, we don't

(05:10):
even need to lift a finger, because we're going to
do it all through psychology and all through psychological warfare,
which is psychological operations, and so psyops are some of
the best ways to control mind control, slash mind control
your enemy, or get your enemy to do something that
you you know. Psychologist always intrigued me and one of

(05:33):
the things that I think is awesome. I'm reading a
book right now, and in that book it says you
can't make people do things, but you can influence them.
And I was like, ooh, so that's what psychological operations
are supposed to do. That they're not going to make
us do it, but they're going to influence us such
that we think it's our idea and we're going to

(05:54):
do it, only to fall right into the trap.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Exactly. Yeah, And I think that's one of the reasons
why I consider social media to be a psychological operation.
And the only time I really touch social media is
is here for you guys, right, for the channel for
our page for sharing information, you know, information and not
necessarily sharing, sharing personal family, those types of things. Right,

(06:23):
this is for the group for the podcast, and that's
really the only time I touch social media. But I
believe that is the one of the biggest syops of
our day. I mean, there are so many big ones.
I say that, and I had a few others come
to my mind that are enormous pyops. But social media

(06:46):
absolutely was created as a social experiment and a way
to manipulate.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
So let's let's talk about that for a second. So
psyop is a psychological operation or a non combat whether
it's through communication, emotion, attitude, behavior targeting, a non combat
method to push an outcome to And there's three different

(07:15):
levels that I found. There's white, gray, and black syops.
Examples of a white syop, right, these are ones you
know that the government's doing. But white ones are like
when leaflets are dropped, flyers, radio television, when you hear
it all the time, right, there's recognition points where're like,
I feel like I'm getting the same message all day long.

(07:35):
No matter what channel I turned to. Right, that's an example.
Then there's the gray which are the secret, right, secret
government operations. Those are including especially on social media, all
those bot all those bought influencers right where it's like, hey,
how is this person posting one hundred and thirty six

(07:57):
posts a day? The average person's posting three or four
posts day. Why is this so much higher? Or in
some cases you can do the math, go over the
profile and see. But there are thousands and thousands and
thousands of these being run all the time by bots, computers,
by individuals. There's also things in the gray world. For example,
in the nineteen fifties, the CIA did one in and

(08:20):
it was done in the Philippines. I don't know if
you guys heard about this. During that time, there was
a push to go to bring Communism to the Philippines.
CIA countered that with a psyop and this is public
knowledge now, but they were using fake vampire attacks and
telling the people through the radio and through different leaflets

(08:42):
and different things that there are vampires and they love
to eat the blood of communists. And so when they
do nighttime operations, they would capture people who were they
thought communists. If those people ended up dying in the process.
They'd hang them upside down, puncture their neck twice and
let them bleed out, and then they'd do symbols on

(09:03):
all the buildings to let people know these were vampires.
That's disgusting, but that's something that happened by our our
friends over at the CIA. Thank you very much for
that one, Psycho. Another example of gray ops would be,
like we started talking about the social media bots. There's
a ton of them by Israel, and there's a ton
of them by China. They push narratives, try to get

(09:24):
gain sentiment, but they're they're working always for foreign influence.
Then we have the black ops, the ones that we
don't hear about, the ones that are hidden. And thanks
to Edward Snowden, he was able to push documents that
weren't supposed to be released for another ten to fifteen years,
but we all heard about one that's a the World

(09:46):
of Warcraft sie ops. Did you guys know about this?

Speaker 3 (09:49):
I think it was just something about it right before
the show bro but I hadn't heard of it before that.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
So I used to play this game, so I'm like,
I'm not not at all surprised, but they would. They'd
have agents logging in all across because this is the
largest gaming platform at the time, all across the world,
logging in infiltrating groups, raid parties, and things like that,
to influence, to create coordinated efforts to recruit, to crowdfund,

(10:16):
and to create dissension into tribal factions on different political targets,
situations and everything else. It would still be going on.
I'm sure it is still going on somewhere, but it
would still be going on if it had not been
leaked and they shut it down. That's one example of
a black op, like nobody knows what's going on. Nobody
knows that's active, but it's happening. So we have the white,

(10:40):
the gray in the black. Now, now that we have
the foundation, let's talk about what's really going on in
the world, Or shall we? Because you're getting inundated all
the time. What is the greatest example of a PSIOP
that's happened to us in the last five years?

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Yeah, where to start is the question? You know, I
throughout social media. I've got a list of others.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
One of the there's the huge SYOP in twenty twenty.
I think that's a huge syop where they use almost
every major key to a syop in that where they
it's a public outbreak. They fear fear of death, fear

(11:23):
of missing out, fear of not being included, fear of
hurting other people. If you don't get this, then you
will cause you will be the cause of other people dying.
Then it was oh, all of the experts, so the
appeal to authority, all the experts come out, all of
the and then it's like, oh, we we normally in

(11:44):
order to create something like this, it takes years, but
we were able to do it in this other thing,
and oh, it must be a miracle. So now we're
appealing to the spiritual side of things. Oh, everybody wants
to believe in a miracle and wants to believe that
God had some hand in it. And so I'm just like, okay.
They used almost almost and then and then it was

(12:05):
like if you don't do this now, then it was
fear of Okay, now we're not going to get to work.
Now we're gonna knock on your door and we're going
to drag you out in the street, and we're going
to do it to you there, you know, in the
middle of the street, and so it was like, Okay,
well we better get our you know, we better fortify
our front doors. So it was it was I would

(12:27):
I would say it was just about every tactic that
you could pull out of or you know, where these
guys used to get us all to subject ourselves to
this ridiculous thing that ended up being a complete lie.
It wasn't It wasn't that they didn't tell us the truth.
It was they outright lied. And now it's completely obvious

(12:50):
and how many people have actually died and suffered because
of that. So I'm not using particular words so that
YouTube doesn't shut us down obviously, but I think that's
a huge example, especially in the last five years, Scott,
if you wanted to, I don't there and I'm sure
there's others like oh.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Well, as part of that, part of that it was
appealing to our emotions. And that's one of the the
first things that we should notice in a siop is
it it it grabs you by the feels, right, it
calls you names, right, it's called an ad hominem attack.
So it you know, if you're not convinced by their
data right, by the information, uh, they want to make

(13:29):
fun of you. They want to make you feel bad,
and it's it's you know, it is a very social experiment,
and that's definitely one of the first things is Okay,
how does this make me feel? You know, if it's
something you can shrug off, well you probably should. But
that's that's one of the key points to recognize.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Yeah, you brought up the logical fallacies. So in in
high school debate, we've talked about this and all the time.
What are the different logical fallacies? There's the ad hominem
right attack the person making the argument against the person
or a behavior instead of the actual facts, red herring
irrelevant topics to divert attention, right appeal to ignorance, claims
of it being true because there's no evidence to disprove it,

(14:13):
right making up something that can't be disproven yet or
there's not enough data yet, right straw man, which misrepresenting
an opponent's argument to make it easier to attack. Then
there's hasty generalization, slippery slopes, false analogies like he goes
on and on and on and on. And if you
guys are all like we're all on YouTube, I know

(14:34):
we are. If you guys are on a YouTube at all.
One of my favorite like channels about this specifically is
Chase Hughes, former Naval intelligence officer. He created the NCI
engineered reality scoring system and has a sheet of twenty
different things categories with questions to ask how to score it,
and he goes deep like timing. Does the timing feel

(14:57):
suspicious or coincidental with other events? You know? Is the
story like about, for an example, a story about water
contamination services during a corporate scandal. Right, it's a misdirection,
It's let's get you focused on something else. Right, Emotional manipulation,
which is what you were just about you started talking
about Shane, Right, does it provoke fear, outrage, or guilt

(15:18):
without any solid evidence? Uniform messaging. I think we've all
seen the videos online where it's the news caster saying
the same thing and every station world wide. Yeah, missing information,
there's no alternative views, there's no critical details. Everything's being excluded.

(15:40):
That's counter to their argument, right, simplistic narratives. And I
could go on and on on this list, but like,
I'm just giving you as the tip of the sword
so you can actually do the work. But they'll create
false dilemmas to make it so and use this appeal
to authority to make you go, oh, all the doctor said,
so I have to believe what the doctor said.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Right.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
They're called doctors because it's part of the indoctrination process.
They've reached the highest level of indoctrination. They're the easiest
to control. Why because they'll lose everything if they go
against what they're told.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Yeah, and the events is an example of that.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
I was just going to say, they call their practice
a practice because they're practicing.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Instead of professionally. Right, That's just another one of those.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
To me, that's another little siop. It's like a mini
siop out there. It's like, you know, they tell us that.
For example, one of the things in my business that
I love to just kind of pick on is they
tell you, oh, if you say, if you spend one
hundred dollars with us, we'll give you ten percent off,
but if you spend two hundred dollars, we'll give you
twenty percent off. So everybody's like, oh, I better spend

(16:54):
two hundred dollars. It's more savings. It's not more savings,
you just spent more money. And so that to me
is like a mini siop. Is that it's a psychological
kind of getting you. Its manipulation.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Well, the words that we use that we are taught,
like the words save, right, Like you say I'm gonna
save twenty percent, No you're not. You're gonna spend twenty
percent less. But you're not saving anything. So it's just
the use of that word saved is incorrect. Right, So
they're not actually any words. But it makes you feel good, it,
I mean, it does make us feel good to save

(17:30):
some money, right, but it's not in your bank account.
It's just you're spending less. So you choose your words correctly,
choose them well, right.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
And when other people use words against you, know what
they're really meaning, don't don't fall for the.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
That is far more complex, yes, and requires some some searching.
But you know, along the same lines you were talking there, Scott,
is that what comes to mind is the left right paradigm.
Right that is an enormous siap. That's exactly along the
same lines you were you were talking is that you know,
we're only given two choices, the left or the right. Republicans, Democrats, Democrats.

(18:07):
There are so many other parties, but they are not
an actual choice because they will never be elected into office.
Right there, there's you know that we talk about. You know,
excuse me, she brought some water. We talked about, you know,
the two wings on the same bird, two sides of
the same coin. That's what's presented to us, given to

(18:29):
us to choose from. So they've they're already directing our choices,
and that is an absolute enormous psychological operation. We're they're
putting us there against each other, right They're trying to
get us to fight amongst ourselves.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
What's interesting is I was watching a I think Denesh
Desuza was doing an interview with a guy who was
a huge leader in the Islam. I think it was Islam.
I may need to be care for what I say
moving forward here, but he was telling us that there
are certain people in Congress that have certain religious views
that they would never do those things themselves, but they

(19:11):
are promoting those things into the American population because they
want the Americans to fall, fail, weaken, and become less
so that they can now have other organizations come in
and take over. And we see severy several Congress people

(19:32):
right now, people actually senators, House representatives, I can't remember who,
but they have religious ties, as you can see by
the clothing that they wear, they have religious ties to
a certain group, and they are promoting certain things like
the unliving of babies before they're born and other things

(19:52):
like that. They're promoting a lot of these narratives of
left right paradigm of hate speech, if you will, let
hay this. No kings there, and they're really working diligently.
They would never do these things in their own life,
in their own religious views, they would never do those things,
but they promote it because they want to weaken the
American people to the point where the American people are

(20:15):
doing it and then they're easily easy, more easily controlled,
and more easily put under their their power.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, I wanted to mention, you know, Charlie Kirk, real quick,
I don't want to talk about it. I just wanted
to mention that I saw that mostly as a distraction
from what I can't exactly say, but those type of
events when when I can't necessarily see the purpose, right,

(20:47):
what is the immediate direct purpose of this, of this
sye oup, It's likely just a distraction from something else
that's going on. So that's something that I'm working on
my skills to try and identify something like that that
when it happens, whether it's small or large, like like Charlie,
that Okay, what else is going on in the world

(21:08):
that this is distracting us from.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
On that yeah, even on the same day necessarily, and
one thing that I just want to reiterate because I
agree with you Shane, However, I also want to just
reiterate that God takes a mess and makes a message.
So even if the enemy was working that whole process
as a psychological operation to control the minds of the people, God,
I believe, also stirred within a lot of people an

(21:33):
awakening to a reality of where we really what's really
going on in the world, Not necessarily the exact details,
but like, wait a minute, there's something going on in
the world that we need to be waking up to it.
And so I believe that even if the enemy of
whether it's the spiritual or the physical enemies, frankly they're
both are doing something to do to perform a psychological operation.

(21:54):
God always God, there's there's no surprises to God. Whatever
the devil in his kingdom do, he already knows they're
going to do it, and so he will take what
they do, and he will use that. If we're discerning,
he will use that to teach us a lesson and
help us to overcome it. One and two give us
the honestly, give us the motivation to get up and

(22:15):
get after it and build light in the world and
create You know, I hate to say this, but I
think you know the enemy uses psychological operations and psyops
by heaven with the Father and Jesus, they use psychology
to help us as well. So you know, it's just
to me, it's a God always takes the mess of
the world and makes a message out of it, and

(22:37):
those that are listening and have iceed to see and
ears to hear can be motivated forward on it. So
that's my thought.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Pop quiz time, you brought me right to the place
where we need to be. So before we jump into
the pop quiz, I want to remind you guys, if
you are feeling hungry in the apocalypse and you want
some meats right Arby's won't exist anymore. You need to
have some tasty, delicious, shelf stable, fully cooked delicious meat.

(23:03):
So they got beef roast beef, so ground beef roast
beef and roast chicken cooked in the cans good for
twenty five years. Go over to our friends survivalfrog dot
com use a code prepper talk ten to save ten
percent of check out, and they got a whole bunch
of the cool stuff there as well. But guys, here's
a question. What is the most powerful way to begin

(23:25):
breaking someone's mental conditions? And I'll let you choose its
multiple choice. So what is the most powerful way to
begin breaking someone's mental conditioning? Is it one exposing their lies?
Two give them new beliefs, three destroy certainty, or four
offer guidance.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
I would say guidance.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
Probably I'm gonna go with destroy certainty.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
The answer is destroy certainty. If you can destroy the
foundation of their arguments belief system, that will push them
into a questioning mindset. In a questioning mindset you now
have are open to find out the truth. Every one

(24:13):
of us watching this, every one of us that's listening
to this, at some point the certainty of our world
was destroyed. That's why we're preppers, m That's why we're
awake to these things. That's why we're paying attention. So
congratulations for having an open mind to be able to
start seeing and reading between the lines.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Well, I think that's that's really important because we all
talk to a lot of people and a lot of
the times I just you know, will show up what
we call show up and throw up. Right, let me
tell you about everything that's going on that you've got
to be worried about. Right. Whereas if you can see
that approach of destroying their certainty in their belief of theirs, like,

(24:58):
then they can start to question and then see the
other side. So I think that's a great clue.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
Okay, what question number two?

Speaker 3 (25:05):
Well, I just was real fast. I was going to
say that the reason why you can, in any kind
of psychology, you break down the current belief so that
you can rebuild a new one. And that's the military
does that in boot camp. They break you down to
build you up. And if you're doing it with the
right if you're doing it with pure intent or good intent,

(25:25):
it's actually influence and persuasion. If you're doing it with
mal intent, it's manipulation. And that's the same set of
skills to do good and persuade others. Is the same
set of skills that you can use for manipulation. It's
just what to what intent to what end are you
using them? That's my opinion anyways, speaking.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Of manipulation, the easiest people to manipulate are those who,
now we've got four options, are one feel powerless, two
think they're immune to manipulation, three are emotionally unstable, four
are desperate for approval.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Let's see if let's see what's let's see what the
people answer on that before we jump in. Read those
out again.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Dude, you guys can drop this one, two, three or
four in the in the comments. The easiest people to
manipulate are those who one feel powerless, two think they're
immune to manipulation, three are emotionally unstable, or four are
desperate for approval.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Well, I would hate to be for it to be
number two because that's me.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Right, That's that's where that's my first impression is number two,
although number four is a close second. If not.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
So, the answer is definitely number two. They think they're
immune to the manipulation, and that thought process makes you
think you're too smart or too aware to be manipulated.
They stop scanning for influences, they stop checking for the truths, right,

(27:08):
They stop looking at the data to determine is this
a liar. Is it's true? Right? No? No, I know already
they think they already know this is right. They make
up their mind before they test anything. That's why it's
so important test everything. Trust but verify right. And if
you don't trust the source, don't trust and verify right. Okay,

(27:34):
So sig Offs, let's keep let's into this is a
this is a fun topic because this can really go anywhere.
What are what are some things we can do on
the daily to help help make sure we're avoiding falling
into these traps?

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Well, let me let me define a couple more things, guys,
I think what you're gonna wait, that was a great question, Scott.
I want to just throw a few more things out there. Like,
one thing that we've here a lot about recently is gaslighting.
So I think the gaslighting is an absolute technique or
tactic of psychological operation, you know, getting somebody to think
that what they believe is not true, which is breaking

(28:12):
down their belief, which is the first part of that
first question we talked about the other. So if you've
got to be careful about when you see kind of that,
if you feel like you're being gaslighted, you probably are.
And that's a key. The other part is that I
was going to talk about is the Hegelian dialectic, which
is the idea that they controlled both sides. So you

(28:33):
might think to yourself, well, wait a minute, I and
this goes to the second question. I think, where because
somebody I already know everything because I'm on the side
of the good. Well maybe you're not. Maybe you're in
a controlled opposition and you're you know, there's this truther
that's out there and says, oh, this is the I'm
going to reveal, like, you know, no offense, because I
think that there's a little bit of that with the

(28:54):
QAnon thing, but maybe a lot of that we'll see,
but there might be a little bit of like wait
a minute, where who's telling the story here and who's
really behind it, and what's the agenda and it is
it really giving us the truth that we think it's
giving us or is it leading us to a path
where we'll be right in the ambush the kill box.

(29:14):
And so they just remember that, especially during a lot
of wars over the if you can go back in
history of different wars, the Rothschilds would fund both sides
because they knew that they would make money on no
matter which one they funded, and so they would fund
both sides knowing that there was some kind of psychologic potential,
psychological operation there that they could manipulate, and no matter

(29:37):
who won, they went they won because they got they
were invested on both sides. So just remember that sometimes
the people we think might be our side is might
be manipulated or and they don't even always know it.
The Hegelian dialectic, people who are controlled opposition, they don't
Sometimes they don't know, and so it's not their fault
if they're saying stuff that's a little bit off. But

(29:59):
just because ful about those I think those two things,
grass lighting and the Hegelian dialectic will help us kind
of get us to where we can recognize, hmm, what's
going on here and then help us to be able
to overcome it. And then and then then answer your question, Scott,
So that's what I was thinking the.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Last time you said it, you said grass lighting. I
think that's a totally different problem.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
Sorry, but camping, and all.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
The time I think he's in the chat.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
But uh, grass lighting is what we do when we're
camping and we want to get warm.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
When I don't know anyways, Shane, go take it away.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
No. I think the other thing I was going to
pull up is and there was a comment here is AI. Uh,
And I have not changed my position on AI. I
think it is nothing good will come from it. That
it is this is really deep topic. I and I
think you know, AI is being recognized now that it's

(31:03):
in a bubble that profit there are no profits currently,
so much so many dollars currency has been sunk into it.
It is being touted that it can solve all our problems,
that it's going to be amazing, but there is a
small chance that it could wipe us all out right,
but you know, never mind that. And so I there

(31:27):
is so much attention on this right now, it is
it really is mind bogging. So I can't help but
think that it is a type of psychological operation too again,
kind of the white coat the authority, you know, looking
to authority, looking to someone who's wiser than us, dumbing

(31:47):
us down so that we don't think about, you know,
come with the answers ourselves, or actually reach to a
higher authority and not a not AI as a higher
as God has the higher authority. And uh, I'm I'm
sticking to that. I don't see that as it changing
at all.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
So it's funny that you brought that up because there's
an interview with Sam Altman, the guy that created open AI,
and they're like, you think AI will take over and
that will be in trouble and he's like, no, no,
I think there's three scenarios. And I'm like, oh, here
we go. Number one, misuse misused by bad actors. Right,
somebody could access too much information and then ruin the

(32:30):
world that way, right, that's one. Two, lose control of
the AI and be locked out of all of our systems.
How is that any different than what they actually asked him.
It's just being said in a different way. Or three
unintended unintended societal consequences economic destruction, right, system destruction.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
Regularity, singularity like it.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
I'm like, you just said it's not those, but now
you're saying it is those.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
Yeah, one hundercent I think and I think it's used
just like the bots on social media, to create narratives,
to create thought processes. Right, what is the biggest thing
we hear about AI all the time? Oh, if you
don't get involved, you're gonna not you're not gonna have
a job in nine months to.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
A year if you don't learn your answers. It's gonna
it's and that's kind of the biggest, biggest positive I
hear from people. Well, it's gonna help us with our healthcare.
And again I have arguments against that as well.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
But well, it's funny because, like I saw a report
this guy was talking about the problem with AI data
is that AI data doesn't exist. He did this thing
where he studied the answers and then asked for the
verification and the proof of data. A I would be like, oh, yeah,

(33:50):
eighty percent of a study found the eighty percent of
this happened all the time. Blah blah blah. Okay, what's
the study. Well, there actually isn't a study. Excuse me,
has made it up? Ay, I is all like I'm
a false authority over here, so I could say whatever
I want and they're just gonna believe it.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
Yeah yeah, and right now you can call AI on it.
You can say, okay, yeah, what was your source? So
I don't have a source. I we just kind of
made that up. But I think we'll get to the
point when uh, it won't we'll not be doing that
any longer. Right, It'll say, no, this is this is
the answer. I am the smartest, I'm the I'm the best.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
That's the That's what they call AI driven fraud, the
idea that fraud crisis and data crisis created by AI
to validate AI's self.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
M hm, that's what they like to do. They like
to validate their own BS.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
Fall asleep according to Field Tech.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
Okay, sounds good. Maybe I am Another thing that I
was listening to another podcast with Luke Bellmar and he's
he's got some smart son his in his uh in
his noggin. He actually said that if you think what
we have for AI is the good stuff, he says,
we have the bread crumbs, we have the leftovers. What
they really are running in the quantum computers and you know,

(35:08):
deep underground military bases or whatever the AI they're running
is beyond anything that we have access to as regular citizens.
So and I totally agree with that based on what
I know and how they how these guys run their stuff.
But it's just crazy to me that if they have,
if they if AI that we have like chat, ChiPT
or others, is is cranking out the stuff that it is,

(35:31):
and that's the bread crumbs, that's the leftovers. You imagine
what they're running back behind the scenes, and imagine that
the psychological operations they're going to run. Because they can
run algorithms, they can run the the you know, the
elite or they whoever they are, you know, they can
put into their system, say, these are the different psychological

(35:52):
operations we want to run. These are the outcomes, This
is what we want to do. Which one will be
the most effective?

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Click?

Speaker 3 (35:58):
And those those AI run those scenarios for them there
you're like, oh, yeah, let's do this one first, this
one second, this one third, you know what I mean.
And that's I believe that's legit, Like we're going to
start seeing some of that stuff. I you know. One
of the other things that's a huge psychological operation, in
my opinion, is the especially not just in the recent past,
but over over the last several decades, is the idea

(36:18):
that that pharmaceuticals are here to help cure disease. That's
the biggest si op too. None of these things are
here to cure disease. They're here to maintain the disease
or give us. They're here to cover the symptoms so
that we can we feel like we don't have the
disease and you.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Can neverly get off of that that drug exactly.

Speaker 3 (36:40):
So it's it's the cure to all these things. It's
super funny. I'm sure everyone's seen the memes where they're
like the pilots in the cockpit of the plane, like
a commercial airplane, and somebody somebody comes in and says, oh,
did you hear that the person who invented saltwater engines
is on the plight. It's so cool. We're going to
be able to see, you know, fly them to the
new place. And then the uh, the pilots are like seeing.

(37:02):
The next scene is the pilot's getting off the plane, like,
we are not going to be on a plane with
the guy who invented saltwater engines because that guy's going
to be killed on this plight and we don't want
to be part of it, you know what I mean.
That's I just thought that was a funny. It's another
psychological operation. All these we oh, we can't I didn't
even want to get into going to the moon, but
we we got all these different crazy things that we're

(37:24):
told that we're like, no, it's really not that thing there.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
Possibly the biggest si OP ever perpetrated is the moon landing. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
Well, and the NASA pilot that just recently had a
press conference that said, we're about to go to the
Moon for the first time, to go to outer space
for the first.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Time, actually put men on the moon.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Yeah, yeah, for the first time. We will. You didn't
see this news news brief I think two weeks ago,
but like going going to it, Like, here's some things
you can use to help identify syops. Right, have you
guys heard of the FATE model?

Speaker 2 (38:03):
FATE I have no no.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
So FATE stands for focus, authority, tribe and emotion. So focus,
does it hijack your attention? Is there twenty four to
seven media coverage? Is the repetition through the roof? Right?
Is it unprecedented? Right? Those are things to watch for
that if it if it's stealing your focus and it's

(38:27):
doing those any of those things identifica and identified as
high priority high high not priority probability. Thank you of
engineered right or SIP model authority, trusted figures, expert panelists
discrediting all opposing views. Watch for those things. Tribe that

(38:53):
we talked about this earlier, the left versus the right
right polarized messages focused on in groups. Are they patriots?
Are they traders? Are they antifascists? Are they fascists? Are
they racist? Like right, name calling, all those ad hominems.
And then the last one is emotion. Is it immediately

(39:16):
sparking fear, outrage, frustration when you hear the messaging, when
you see what's going on, and you feel those things
without actual evidence.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
What's interesting is somebody I was watching, a conservative who
was out amongst liberals, and she was she asked the question,
she said, so have you seen the Sydney Sweeney ad?
And the person was like, oh, yeah, it's horrible. It's horrible. Okay,
so tell me why why is it horrible? Like, what's
it horrible? And the liberal was like, it's just so emotional.

(39:54):
I just can't. I just dude, you've been manipulated, bro,
Like you can't come up with facts and figures all
of everything.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
She could.

Speaker 3 (40:01):
She like did this whole performance where her whole body
was like shaking, and she's like, I just it was
just so such a horrible thing to my psyche and
my whole It wasn't a safe place. It's like, oh
my gosh, that's a perfect example to me of what
Scott just said.

Speaker 2 (40:17):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I love.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
I hear someone as an expert. I click away. Right.
He and I actually were on the phone a few
nights ago talking about that very thing, because a lot
of people like, oh, Scott, you're an expert, you know
all these things. I'm like, no, I'm an enthusiast. I
am the biggest prepping enthusiast. Like we talked about cannabis earlier.
We're like prepper talk radio is the gateway to hardcore prepping.

(40:44):
Like we get you excited, we get you a little
bit buzzed about it, we get you amped and ready
to go. We're the joyful let's get let's dig into
this before it gets too bad. Right, We were the
spark to ignite you. But are we the experts now?
But we will bring a lot of things to light
so that you can do your research, because if you

(41:07):
don't do your research, you deserve to be misled. Let's
be honest.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
Yeah, you got to learn for yourself. I mean, you
can trust us. We're trying to be honest. We're trying
to you know. But but yeah, maybe I'm just reading
the headlines, right, and then trying to speak intelligibly about
that on something in particular. So, yeah, don't trust me,
do your own research and dig in. And we all

(41:30):
have our own biases, right, and we tend to listen
to and look for the things that confirm our biases, right,
And it's hard to do otherwise. I cannot stay interested
in a Democrat speaking about the economy. Right. That's just.

Speaker 4 (41:48):
That's about as bad as it gets, right, But oxymoron exactly. Yeah,
so I see exactly what you mean, but it is
very difficult to do and to recognizing your self that
I'm going to listen to the other side while I
hold a bag around my mouth and try and hold
it back, try and not vomit, right, and listen to

(42:11):
things that I can't possibly stand. And maybe that's not
the right approach, but something more technical, like like like
the economy, right, why is it good? Why is it bad?

Speaker 2 (42:21):
Why did these people say the economy is the best
economy ever? But over here people are losing their jobs?

Speaker 1 (42:27):
Right?

Speaker 2 (42:27):
I mean that's just one of many examples.

Speaker 3 (42:30):
But I think that Shane Joseph No, I was just
gonna say, on a macro level, you're exactly right, like
in the news media, in the talking points, in headlines,
but when you're talking to your next door neighbor, like
I feel like somebody if there's one of the stoic quotes,
and I think it was Seneca, I can't remember exactly
but who said it, but there was something along the

(42:51):
lines that if somebody who can listen to somebody an
opposing point of view and still be able to cordially
interact with that person, is that's that's strength. And so
if I'm talking to my next door neighbor and they
have an opposing view, I'm not going to go crazy
and barf on them. I'm going to basically say, Okay,
let's let's talk about it. Maybe there is some validity

(43:12):
to parts of your argument, so let's have a discussion.
And So, if it's your next door neighbor, if it's
somebody that you're interpersonal relationship with, I would say we
need the dialogue, we need that have that conversation. But
if it's a talking point senator coming out on MSM,
CNN or something, they're just they're just regurgitating what they've
been told to say. Oh yeah, dude, shut that off,

(43:34):
or you know, what I mean, like, that's where you
can repost that and have your own commentary to as
a as a social media post of your own. So
that's I just wanted to kind of help clarify a
little bit of that.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, okay, I got to pull a comment
back up that you shared. Yeah, so Shane posted this
Step one, Thank you JR. Roberts for this. Step one
Prepper talk Radio. Step two. Glenn Beck tears like, no, oh,
step two did you click that?

Speaker 2 (44:04):
No?

Speaker 1 (44:05):
Okay? Step two right? Step one is Prepper tich radio.
Step two through step nine are whichever path you choose
to follow. Step ten probably inevitably for everyone will be
radical isolation in a prepper commune of some sort with bunkers,
hum V's, mute pack mules, and a complete off grid sanctuary.

(44:30):
I don't maybe, I don't know if that sounds good
to you. Hit me up in the comments over at
our Emergency prep and Self Reliance on Facebook, because we'll
let's talk, right, there's always that opportunity. I want one
so bad, I want I want sow before we end this.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
The last thing I wanted to bring up is and
I'm seeing this more and more and I'm sure you
guys will agree with me. Are the words peace and safety? Right?
That is everywhere everywhere, and of course we all know
what that means, where that comes from. You know what
that eventually will lead to destruction, right? I just see

(45:14):
that everywhere, and I wonder how everything that's happening and
these words are being used, and these individuals obviously know
what they're doing all the world to stage. I'll keep
saying that until the day I die, that they are
fulfilling prophecy. Yet they continue to and I just don't understand.

(45:38):
Maybe you can enlighten me on why this is so prevalent,
and there are so many things like that that are
popping up nowadays that are currently that are obvious to me,
and maybe because I have the eyes to see and
like you do as well, whereas others just do not
see them.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
It's true. One of the things when I talk to
people about the scriptures is they're like, oh, no, we're fine,
everything's great. You know if if all that, if all
that was true, then we would our church leaders would
tell us, well, that's another psychological operation, you know, the
appeal to authority. If the authority didn't if my wackadoo
friend who has a podcast says it it's not true,

(46:20):
but if my leader said it, it's got to be true.
I'm like, okay, good luck with that.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
So the other thought I had that came up at
the same time. The other words that I hear a
lot is Antichrist. I hear Tucker Carlson talking about it.
This Peter Teal he's teaching about it. It just absolutely
amazes me the discussions are going on about the Antichrist
right now, and for people who actually probably are are
likely Antichrist themselves. But that's just I mean, one of

(46:49):
the many words I'm hearing right now.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
Well, that's the second Thessalonian says that when they decry
peace and safety, the destruction is eminent.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
M M yeah.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
I think it's second the second Psilonians. Anyways, it's one
of the Thesalonians.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
And that that made me think of another verse First
Corinthians three nineteen. The wisdom of this world is foolishness
with God, amen, dude. And I try to live by
that every day. I try and live by that at
least remember that read that every single.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
Day that hits deep. The wisdom of this world is
foolishness to God with God, with God. That it's funny
because every time I tell God my plans, I feel
like I hear a chuckle on the other side of
that that prayer. Nice nice idea, Scott, Right, that's bad idea,

(47:41):
Scott Like. I feel like the times that we're going
into are the times we need to question everything. We've
been dealing with MK Ultra for years Project Mockingbird right,
We've been dealing with psyops all around us. We have
to move forward with a critical mindset on everything. Question everything.

(48:07):
I know it takes more time, it takes more effort, right,
But if you're not questioning it, you're allowing things to happen.
Questioning it gives your mind the break to actually analyze
and think critically, something that they don't teach in school anymore.
So good luck. But if you can start thinking critically,
then you can start formulating responses to fight off the

(48:31):
syops and to make a stand. Any final thoughts on
tonight's podcast before we end it out, said what I
had to.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
I just think it's most It's very important for us
to remember to have the spirit of discernment and have
a discerning mindset and spirit because the things that we've
been told, you know, what do they what do they say?
You're going to need You're going to need to find
yourself a really good conspiracy theorist friend because the next
few years are going to you're going to need them
to guide and direct you, you know, through the through

(49:01):
what's going to happen. And conspiracy theory, whether you call
it conspiracy theory or a sciop, it's pretty close to
the same dang thing. And so I just just again,
there's been so what's the difference between a conspiracy theory
and a conspiracy fact? About six months and so just
remember that as you were going out and listening to
stuff and people saying things don't get there's there's one

(49:25):
thing you can count on, and that's Jesus Christ. And uh,
there's probably second to that is you can count on
your family and some good friends that you have than
community that you're building other than that question trust but verify.
Scott said it earlier and I totally agree with that,
and that's something that I've lived by and it's helped
a lot.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Well, thank you everybody for being part of the show tonight.
We appreciate you, and uh, definitely, definitely do your homework
and all things get prepped, stay ready minded, focus on
yourself first. You got to make sure you get that
oxygen mask on yourself when the plane's going down, before
you help your neighbor, right, take care of your needs first,
then your family, then move outward. Guys, we have a

(50:08):
book that we wrote years ago and published even less
time ago, called The Ready Radius. You can get it
over on our friend friendly neighborhood, amazonian sight search Ready
Radius you can get a copy of it. It's a
simple little structure of thinking and preparing and planning, utilizing
the one is no, two is almost there, three is

(50:32):
just right right, but prioritizing your efforts in your preparedness
and using what you have around you to your aid
and to your benefit. Guys, thanks for tuning in instead
of tuning out. Keep that hat on a swivel, and
in the famous words of Lloyd Christmas, we landed on
the moon.
