Strategy 23 involves controlling perceptions by mixing fact and fiction. The hosts discuss the Hunter Biden laptop story and the role of "50 intelligence leaders" in labeling it Russian propaganda. They also mention Taylor Swift as a figure used to control public perception and distract from more substantive political issues.
The acquisition of Twitter is framed as a move to control the "news machine" that generates global narratives, effectively acting as a modern Associated Press. By controlling the source of memes and viral information, the owner can influence local news cycles and suppress or amplify stories like the Hunter Biden laptop or COVID-19 data.
The discussion touches on the role of Telegram in spreading information and the sudden activity of a channel purportedly linked to the late John McAfee. The hosts discuss the convergence of Pizzagate, Seth Rich, and the Hunter Biden laptop, noting that the mainstream admission of the laptop's authenticity validates previously dismissed "conspiracy" theories in the eyes of the public.
