OMNIWAR 2: Daniel Broudy, Cognitive Warfare & Mental Categories: Preparing the Masses to be Freaked, Geeked, & Tweaked

Daniel Broudy is a Professor of Rhetoric and Applied Linguistics in the Graduate School of Intercultural Communication at Okinawa Christian University and a former imagery analyst with the U.S. Army

The past five years, since the rollout of the Covid-19 narrative, have seen populations around the world exposed to powerful military-grade psychological operations that effectively reposition people into new conceptual categories meant to erase collective memory of human rights, sovereignty, agency, and dignity. The result is a world headed for rampant deprivation, the loss of our sense of humanity, community, and identity.

A necessary precondition for creating such a world of compliant cyborgs is preparing people mentally to embrace new technologies that falsely promise a radically new kind of empowered human being. Such persons, as the literature shows, have become effectively “tweaked” and “freaked” and fully fit to function in the new global order of technocratic servitude.

This presentation draws upon research in frame semantics and cognitive linguistics to show how warfare enacted against the mind targets at least two key brain regions that keep the reconfiguration of humanity mostly hidden from our conscious awareness.
