Thank you for covering this in the way that you have. I think it's important for anyone who identifies the long game of siege warfare we are in for our minds to give your video a listen, clear headed and uninterrupted so that, if they have been able to identify the moving parts at play, they know they aren't alone.

Not my video - I wish it was! - just my commentary. Thank you, though! And yes, the paradigm shift towards obscure discord communities being just as, if not more integral to the battlefield than weapons platforms is a crucial one. Just look at what a bunch of weirdo trans furries coordinating on discord have done to public discourse through cancel culture.

"1st: Classical warfare

2nd: Mechanized/Trench Warfare

3rd: Lightning Warfare

4th: Insurgent Warfare"

I do not think we are in 5th gen war. Lind's criticism of the term was that, in the early 2000s, he said he haven't yet seen the full evolution of 4th gen warfare. Lind would have described 4th generation war as state vs non-state actors. Insurgents are non-state but not all non-states are insurgents, do you see what I am trying to say? Especially this is important in regards to Cabal.

I believe Cabal is the (so far successful) attempt at a non-state actor assuming the role of a (singular super) state. The major drama of 4th gen is non-state vs the state, but what does it actually look like when the state loses? Lind continued by saying that the state included all sovereign nations and that the US, Russia and China had more in common than different in regards to this war. Lind's blindspot was that he assumed non-state usually meant local warlords and general temporary anarchy until a minor state arose. Under that assumption China, the US and Russia would simply be broken up into smaller warlord territories. However we can clearly see there is an element best described as 'evil' which causes all sorts of logically-contradicting groups to unite simply to not only kill the state, but keep it killed, instead of replacing it.

What does a world look like that not only has no states, but has an all pervasive force continually killing patriots so no state arises ever again? That killing force, the one that desires the no-state world, I believe is Cabal. It is the true victory of non-state agents against the state.

Moriarty was described the same by Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock said he had been solving all sorts of crimes until he noticed they all came from one source, no matter how ridiculously small and petty or grandiose. That source had all the powers of darkness behind it and could dictate the fall and rise of nations. In the story it was Moriarty. I name it Satan. We would know it as Cabal.

Being a non-state it has no pledge of allegiance, no citizens it cares for, no borders, no GDP, no real responsibilities at all really save the one. To kill, steal and destroy at all turns. It is as satisfied with destroying a 2000 year old church it is with destroying a 20 yr old cartoon franchise. The members of Cabal are united in this and this only. It's why you see pedophile networks as disparate as priests, bankers, cartoonists, cannibals, and statesmen keeping absolute ranks together. Yet when one breaks free or slips up he is abandoned instantly yet the rest stay loyal. Why? They aren't in it for protection, longevity or even identify. Only to steal kill and destroy, and to wake up to do it again.

Lind's error was thinking that big kings would be replaced by little kings, that once civilization fell into the abyss that small civilizations would arise. But he didn't know that the abyss has a face and a will and it hates us all. Without the intervention of God, Cabal will never let anyone rise above cattle ever again.

All that to say that I think we are merely in the endgame of 4th gen war, not in a 5th gen one. More logicality all the elements attributed to '5th gen' were already present in 4th. Example: Vietnam is a classic 4th gen war study and the US lost because of morale, politics, television (see: Nixon and such), international pressure and everything else described as causal in this blog post.

The difference between Vietnam and now is merely a matter of scale of the 4th gen war. Like the first days of US Civil War/WWI with quaint things like horse charges, picnics, the Hapsburgs and Romanovs vs the end of WWI with gas bombs, trenches, Lenin and Weimar.
