In the past, when warfare was initiated, the "powers that be" predominantly had kinetic wars with a little psychological warfare sprinkled in. We obviously still do - just look at Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Palestine... but if you notice, the predominant strategy today (and the most recent decades) is informational and psychological warfare.

Propaganda is not just utilized by communist regimes anymore. And we all know that color revolutions and other riots are part of the psychological warfare playbook to try and convince the public that it was the people rising up, when in fact it was coordinated by government agencies and NGOs... and search engines and social media companies use algorithms to ensure the right messages are put at the forefront. You only need to read the Twitter Files to know how it worked and how it's all coordinated. They also use fear as a form of informational and psychological warfare. Just look at what news came out today - Biden is considering declaring a "climate emergency" in order to be given emergency powers... and just before the election.

These days, the one who wins the narrative wins the war. It's all about the narrative.

And let's not forget that they've recently been using biological warfare not just in the distant past, but today. Covid-19 is a perfect example of this, and it's used to push a global agenda. This was a combination of psychological warfare (put fear in the people) and biological warfare.

They are now taking informational and psychological warfare to the next level. The next phase of information warfare has been escalating over the past couple of years and this new generation of warfare is heating up at this very moment: AI wars.

AI is already being used to try and move the needle on political agendas, to shape people's minds, and influence the masses. Machine learning increases exponentially and is always based on whatever data you decide to feed it. It's like brainwashing, but for the computer.

Badlands media recently reported that Mark Zuckerberg is backing out of having Facebook be involved in politics. Well isn't that curious? Coincidentally, Meta just announced their latest AI model (Llama 3) claiming that it's the "most intelligent AI assistant you can use for free". Is anything really "free"? No.

Since AI can influence people in a much different way than posts and ads can, is this "backing off" of politics because they have this new and improved AI? Something to ponder.

Oh - and google and facebook have both been proven to interfere in the elections more than three dozen times since 2008, so for Zuckerberg to claim they are taking a step back from elections is laughable.
