I just returned from Clay Clark’s Reawakening Tour, which was wonderful. My goal in attending was to meet face-to-face with people I already knew online and some I hadn’t. It was a great success and I met a lot of wonderful people.
This article isn’t a review of the event — others will do that better than I could. Instead, I will focus on one very interesting interaction, the meaning of it, the dangerous psychology involved and my thoughts.
It is an example we can all learn from.
Everyone has different views of reality and everyone is rapidly awakening. Everyone has slightly different beliefs — rapidly changing — and everyone is at a different point in that journey. We all should be aware of this so we can help each other evolve. Without exception, everyone I saw is united in trying to fix the world — incredible energy there!
I was introduced to a gentleman who had a different view of current events — this happens all the time. This article isn’t about the disagreement itself — it is about the consequences of malformed thinking and how one reacts to it. In short, it is about choosing carefully what you are willing to believe and choosing the topics you decide to focus on to reach your goals. If you choose unwisely, you help nobody, can easily destroy your own enterprise and end up working against your own best interests.
This individual seemed hung up on the idea behind “Trust the Plan.” In his view, there is no covert plan and we all should reject that idea and focus on figuring out what actions we should be taking to fix the world. I understand this completely and agree that we should all have our own plan and take action with those things we can control.
Cognitive dissonance is very dangerous, blinds its victims to their own biases and clouds their ability to see the truth. We are all potential victims at every decision intersection. We should always check our understandings and make sure we’re not advocating beliefs or actions that could be damaging to our cause. I check my own thinking constantly and am very careful about what I assert as fact.
I was witnessing a breathtaking example of the Dunning Kruger Effect1. For those not familiar and who have the time, do some reading on the Dunning Kruger Effect. Fascinating stuff!
I want to emphasize here that my intention is not to denigrate or speak down about anyone, especially the individual in question. ALL OF US are constnatly subject to this kind of cognitive dissonance regardless of how much we know about anything. The Human brain is a lossy mechanism! I mean this guy no ill will at all — quite the opposite! I want to help him understand so we can all work together to make the world a better place. He’s a good communicator with the right intentions and he is valuable in the fight against criminals.
Whether you believe there’s a covert plan in the shadows or not, everyone should be figuring out what to do to help save the world from criminals. Everyone agrees with this.
I repeat: Everyone agrees with this.
There is evidence of a plan all around us. Some can see it and some cannot. The evidence of organized information dissemination and manipulation is what motivated the hyper-vigilant autists on 4chan, 8chan and 8kun to devour and share the information they found and convert it into actionable evidence of crimes against Humanity. Some can see that and some cannot, and that’s just fine. Indeed, the plan goes MUCH deeper than most of the awake population understands yet, as shown by my recent decomposition of I, Pet Goat II.
Ironically — or perhaps even tragically in this case — the plan is likely what set the stage for this person to have been awakened by others!
An individual’s ability to see the plan requires an enormous amount of free time, the skill to think like a professional intelligence analyst, the digestion of huge amounts of information, the ability to see through a lifetime of weaponized psychological programming, etc. It isn’t easy to figure out. I don’t fault anyone for not having the resources to do it. I was lucky early-on because I had both the resources and freedom to be able to spend ridiculous amounts of time researching. I’m sure this guy hasn’t spent nearly as much time as myself and thousands of others have spent to understand the full depth of what is actually going on in the shadows.
For the last five years, some have theorized that the information disseminated on 4chan, 8chan and 8kun were a psyop similar in intent to Operation Trust2, which successfully convinced Russian patriots to not resist the criminal takeover of the government in Russia. I've spent 20,000+ hours carefully researching this and I have been actively looking for any evidence of this. I have found exactly no evidence of this. Further, there is a lot of evidence that this is precisely not happening, although explaining this is beyond the scope of this article.
To make this even more absurd, it simply doesn’t matter if there’s a plan or not! I believe this is by design — the psyops happening right now are designed this way on purpose. Everyone can agree that we all need to figure out what issues we want to focus on to make the world better. Most people see this distinction and focus on finding ways they can help make the world better.
This individual, however, seems emotionally fixated on how wrong anyone is for claiming there’s a plan. He considers this belief a threat to the awakening. He is vocal and combative. He doesn’t fully consider the information he’s given when it is explained to him — I watched this happen in real-time. The effect of his communications is to divide people. I would bet he has no idea he is now accidentally dividing people.
Just after the Reawakening Tour ended, he published a video actively mocking those who think there is a plan. He genuinely believes they are a threat, so he relentlessly mocked them. This was not a wise choice and his followers let him know.
The backlash he enjoyed for his mockery was swift and painful. Many people railed against him, and for the right reasons. He unwisely mocked people who are on the right side of history. In doing so, he became a pointless distraction, jumping up and down about a fictitious problem and insulting anyone who disagreed. Irony quickly turned to tragedy as he then claimed that anyone who thinks there’s a plan is suffering from cognitive dissonance because they believe there’s a plan. He said they cannot expand their thinking enough to understand that there’s no plan.
I fully understand where he is getting this from. Gen. Michael Flynn is out there telling everyone there’s no plan. But…that’s part of the plan…
As his public relations nightmare erupted online, he appears to have realized that his mockery wasn’t a good look, he produced a non-scripted update video intended to stop the bleeding. It made things worse. Although he apologized for the mockery, he simultaneously doubled down instead of dropping it. Once again, tragedy turned to disaster as he added even more mockery. In for a penny, in for a pound…
Now there are others following his lead and similarly mocking. Who knew the Dunning-Kruger Effect could go viral?
In my opinion, he fails to grasp a few goals of the plan:
Provide evidence of crimes and how the criminals who run the world operate.
Activate a chunk of the population to educate everyone else.
Activate everyone to individually fight against the criminality the plan exposed.
Note: There are many more goals of the plan, but they are not relevant here.
Unfortunately, this guy is the victim of exactly what he cites as the problem: cognitive dissonance. So far, he has been unable to understand that the plan is to get everyone to do exactly what he wants. How convenient…
So his choice of topics was remarkably bad for two reasons: (1) It mocked people for a belief that he’ll end up being on the wrong side of history with, and (2) it doesn’t matter.
Let me restate that again: It doesn’t matter.
For the record, I’m behind this guy 100%. We need him to help get the message out to those who are still asleep. He’s a force for doing that and he’s been doing a great job, for the most part.
My suggestion for him is to choose wisely the hills he’s willing to die on, because choosing a hill that doesn’t matter and being wrong will quickly destroy his credibility. People don’t like being mocked, especially when they’re correct, and it doesn’t matter!
He’s stepped on the landmine and it exploded. In slow motion, it is eating through his follower base and will continue if he’s not careful.
Mockery is a powerful tool, but you’d better be right when the subject matter is serious. Never mock a serious topic that doesn’t matter. By way of example, Christopher Hitchens (RIP) and Jordan Peterson are masters of rhetoric and extremely learned3. They are expert at mockery and do so with surgical and devastating effect. But they always make damn sure they know they’re correct before pulling the pin on that grenade.
In my opinion, his best way forward is to question his beliefs, do more research, listen to others and really try to understand what is actually going on before mocking others. Understand that the plan helps everyone.
The humble route will be seen as honorable and followers will easily forgive someone when they admit they made a mistake. What they absolutely hate are people who claim they know everything, especially when it doesn’t matter.
We’re all on the same side. Let’s rise above this kind of pointless division.
