Life can be serendipitous. Right after I published the contest details for Win Hive SBI Shares - Informationwar Writing, I ran across this 4chan post, The Monastery of Information Warfare. It's already archived, but available at that link for now.

If you're late to the game, you can dig the post up on 4plebs with the post #

Like anything else on 4chan, you'll have to filter out anything you find offensive, but there is some good stuff here. Of particular note is this PDF regarding Deep State (etc) infowar:
Full Spectrum Dominance, Totalitarian Democracy in the New World Order - F William Engdahl

I am wiped out, so I haven't got into reading this yet. There were also some gems in the thread itself.

The first step is to understand not only what is taking place, but as too why alongside its scope. I present to you key reading material,

One must understand that the advent of mutually assured destruction military doctrine birthed a power vacuum only fillable through a new set of tactics called 5th generation warfare. When Alex Jones said there is a war on for your mind, he means it. The techniques of social engineering, through propaganda, education, regulation, subliminal messaging and content marketing are not some sideshow at the pentagon, they are front and center.

You are the target, and the operative. Yet if you are here God is arming you with the ability to realize the gravity invested in these techniques, so as not to naively cast them off with ideations of "I'm not important enough for this to be used on me" or "I'll never make a difference" No, but to see that your are the target and the operative, possessed of the will to define your own path through their false dialectics

That's it for now. I think this is a good start to understand the uphill battle that #informationwar is fighting.
