Last year, in the aftermath of Operation Midnight Hammer, I claimed that Donald Trump had just executed a masterstroke of Narrative Disarmament.

And that said operation wasn't aimed at the Iranian Regime, in a classical sense, but rather at the true enemy, which is more exposed than ever before.

In fact, I believe that, if the headlines weren't included in this piece, you could swap it out in its entirety for the weekend that was, and the war that wasn't, and it would hold.

But I'll leave that to you:

"Simply put, I believe Donald Trump effectively disarmed an Actual War by waging a masterful Narrative War in the midst of the enemy matrix.

How did he do this?

In resetting the Iranian Nuclear Paradigm, he deprived the Invisible Enemy of their story.

And without a story, you have no mandate, as I’ve been arguing in these digital pages since I founded this publication.

All of this helps to further cement the ‘seeming reality’ or verisimilitude of the story being told, which is absolutely paramount to engendering the sort of mass belief (ie: reality codification) the War of Stories is all about.

Now, while I personally fall into one particular camp—those who believe the ‘war’ events we’re being told about out of Iran are either entirely narrative or augmented actuals being morphed through the hall of mirrors that defines fifth-generation warfare—there can be little doubt that the regime’s intent in aligning with that same path is in cultivating public mandate for the false premise of Iran’s designs on nuclear domination that provided shielding for Israel’s war in the first place.

In other words, if the people believe the conditions for an end to the war have been met, then they de facto believe the conditions for peace have been codified … woe be unto any who might upset the new paradigm.

So, essentially, the enemy matrix is now trapped in the highly unenviable position—for them—of speaking what they believe to be the truth … that being, that they don’t believe the story they’re being told to sell.

Trump has set the new paradigm, which means he’s placed the enemy apparatus into quite the pincer, as he’s wont to do.

Either they accept the peaceful path … or they choose the other thing.

Which brings us to the theme of this particular writing.

How do you catch an invisible enemy?

Well, first, you have to be able to see them.

Trump can certainly see them, and many in this audience believe they can.

And yet, how many have accepted that the Media Industrial Complex lies as a matter of course and yet, still defers to them when it comes to setting the very premise—the very actual—from which the ensuing political, cultural or, in this case, even the existential arguments to follow?

These arguments have consequences. Arguments Trump is ending by utterly and summarily demonstrating why there wasn’t a hint of hyperbole in his long-ago designation of the Fake News Media as the enemy of the people."

Consider a refresh.
