Today, thanks to the Internet and social media, the manipulation of our perception of the world is taking place on previously unimaginable scales of time, space and intentionality. That, precisely, is the source of one of the greatest vulnerabilities we as individuals and as a society must learn to deal with. Today, many actors are exploiting these vulnerabilities. The situation is complicated by the increasingly rapid evolution of technology for producing and disseminating information.  The core element of the weaponization of narratives is the manipulators correct assessment of their intended audiences’ cognitive vulnerability—the premise that the audience they are targeting is already predisposed to accept because it appeals to existing fears or anxieties that remain in the human subconscious. So they look to manipulate subconscious fears in those groups as much as possible to control people. If you have no idea about your subconscious programs and fears you can become like a puppet in their hands. For many of us that are awake and aware, this can appear like dark portal puppets, when you are awake people around you can be used to attack you quite viciously, and this is a casualty on the earth, as many people are not aware, and thus their physical vessel is used to hurl energetic weaponry or other methods to attack you. Many of us as awakened Starseeds have the experience when a person just hates your guts for no parent reason, and decides they are going to defame your character for their amusement, and spread a bunch of lies about you.

A fast-moving information deluge, saturating people with a lot of data coming in all directions is the ideal battleground for this kind of psychological warfare . A firehose of narrative attacks coming from every direction gives the targeted person, population or an organized community of people little time to process and evaluate the information as truthful because its being flooded into the community in several directions. Let’s say a narrative for attacking a group or person arises, and it is being saturated on social media platforms, and no one really knows if the information or accusation is true or false. This media saturation is cognitively disorienting and confusing especially if the targeted opponents barely realize that an organized attack of character assignation or disinformation is actually what’s hitting them. Opportunities are then created for gaslighting and emotional manipulation of the community, which when under attack  in this way, undermine the person being targeted for finding a way to respond or resist the accusations or information being saturated into the community via people that spread the disinformation by jumping on the bandwagon. This can destroy organizations, movements, and even a person’s reputation, it can get people arguing in circular debates over things that never even happened in the first place.

[[Propaganda]] can be used to distort perceptions of reality:  
• People are poor judges of true versus false information—and they do not necessarily remember that particular information was false.

• Information overload leads people to take shortcuts in determining the trustworthiness of messages.

• Familiar themes or messages can be appealing even if they are false.  
• Familiar themes or messages can be appealing even if they are false.  
• Statements are more likely to be accepted if backed by evidence, even if that evidence is false.  
• Statements are more likely to be accepted if backed by evidence, even if that evidence is false.  
• Using Peripheral cues to propagate the disinfo— This happens when a listener is persuaded into falsity because he or she notices that a message has many arguments -- but lacks the ability or motivation to think about them individually. In other words, the many arguments conflated in one message, are like a short-cut of cliff notes mixed together, and with an appearance of objectivity—this tactic can increase the credibility of propaganda and disinformation.

Essentially what this means is we have to use common sense, critical thinking and see if the information passes our bullshit meter, and if we stop long enough to get quiet and then deeply feel into the information, many times we can get many intuitive impressions about it that helps us discern if this is a weaponized narrative or manipulation-deception signature.

Weaponizing narratives are used to destroy communities and trust between people, it is to create conflict, controversy and divide and conquer scenarios which break apart the organization or community goals for unity and working together for a common purpose.

weaponized narratives can also be half truths or lies that furnish the illusion of some emotional certainty at the cost of rational understanding and critical thinking. The emotionally satisfying decision to accept a weaponized narrative — to believe, to have faith —in partial truths or lies prevents the opening of intelligent debates and discussion, and thus it inoculates cultures, institutions, and individuals against counterarguments and inconvenient facts. If we don’t want to look at the truth because its unpleasant, we let people get away with murder because tis more convenient to us. Then we are complicit with feeding the monster, we’ re helping to co-create the ego monsters in the new age. Therefore the Truth can be overwhelmed with constantly repeated statements that represent falsehoods, soon the truth has been replaced with lies, and no one even notices.
 
Keep this in mind as we continue to understand infiltration and hijack, because what I’ve just explained is the major components of the psychological warfare used to weaponize the new age, ascension and disclosure community, and it is up to us to actually see and understand how they are accomplishing this infiltration so tht we can refuse to be controlled by it. As conscious and spiritual people, we should make a commitment to truth, truth telling, and not fall into deception narratives by jumping on the bandwagon of consensus. Be the person that sees it as it is happening, and refuse to participate with it. <ref>June 2019 Ascension Class</ref>
