OPERATION MINDFUCK ON CONSPIRINORMAL
My seventh and latest appearance on Adam Sayne's CONSPIRINORMAL podcast has now dropped! In this conversation with Sayne and his co-host, Serfiel Stevenson, I discuss many aspects of OPERATION MINDFUCK I haven't explored in my previous interviews. Topics include the explosive destruction of the Georgia Guidestones, Clay Clark and General Michael Flynn's ReAwaken America Tour, Roger Stone's "Demonic Portals," Pastor Greg Locke's Global Vision Bible Church, recent evangelical book burnings, the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, and the fascist pronouncements of QAnon state Senate candidates such as Oklahoma Republican Jarrin Jackson.

TALK GNOSIS
Friday, August 12, 2022
SOMEWHERE IN DREAMLAND
PRAISE FOR OPERATION MINDFUCK:
“Voltaire
suggested that those who can make us believe absurdities can make us
commit atrocities, and QAnon provided the practical demonstration.
Robert Guffey’s razor-sharp postings illuminate how a collage of Shaver
mysteries, Discordian prankster politics and recreational conspiracy
theory played out as dissociative American fugue. Jaw-dropping and
essential.”
—Alan Moore, author of V FOR VENDETTA and WATCHMEN
“One of the most difficult aspects of confronting QAnon conspiracism is finding the time and resolve to delve into its ever-expanding network of self-reinforcing connections and concepts. Robert Guffey does that work for you in OPERATION MINDFUCK, a codex to madness and a critical examination of how a massive fraction of our culture has imbibed a counter-reality. Guffey also explores underground sources lost on many mainstream historians, bringing us into an (occasionally ingenious) netherworld of outsider thought forms. Guffey is the Ernest Shackleton of paranoia—and one hopes his journey will result in a happier ending.”
—Mitch Horowitz, PEN Award-winning author of OCCULT AMERICA and UNCERTAIN PLACES
"It's practically a guide to your character to discover whether you find this expose of possibly the stupidest political movement in human history funny, alarming, or infuriating.... Highly recommended."
—Richard Smoley, author of SUPERNATURAL: WRITINGS ON AN UNKNOWN HISTORY and HOW GOD BECAME GOD
“OPERATION MINDFUCK: QANON & THE CULT OF DONALD TRUMP by Robert Guffey tackles the conspiracy theories Q draws from, the history of the Q phenomenon, and the eventual attempts by mobs at least partially influenced by Q, and certainly influenced by Donald Trump, to overturn the 2020 Presidential election. The book is well-researched, with a full Bibliography of notes that reference and identify each quote from each source that Guffey cites. Guffey, additionally, has a long background studying conspiracy theories and their origins [...]. Guffey is not a lightweight.”
—Steve Henn, author of AND GOD SAID LET THERE BE EVOLUTION
“Whether QAnon is a religion, a cult, a joke, a political movement, or just an online game gone awry, Robert Guffey‘s OPERATION MINDFUCK: QANON & THE CULT OF DONALD TRUMP (OR Books, 2022) is his attempt to figure it all out. Guffey’s pedigree in this area is unmatched [...]. Throughout OPERATION MINDFUCK, Guffey follows Theodore Sturgeon’s advice he quoted in his book CHAMELEO (OR Books, 2015): 'Always ask the next question.'”
—Roy Christopher, author of DEAD PRECEDENTS: HOW HIP-HOP DEFINES THE FUTURENAKED CAPITALISM: "Washington is Preparing to Share Their Biometric Data With Dozens of Other National Governments"
From Nick Corbishley's 7-26-22 NAKED CAPITALISM article entitled "Unbeknown to Most US Citizens, Washington is Preparing to Share Their Biometric Data With Dozens of Other National Governments":
The US is planning to give up its citizens’ most precious data in exchange for the biometric data harvested by its “partner” governments in Europe and beyond.
The Biden Adminstration is currently making an offer to dozens of governments in Europe and beyond that they probably will not be able to refuse. On offer is access to vast reams of sensitive data on US citizens held by the Department of Homeland Security. It includes the IDENT/HART database, which the British civil rights organization Statewatch describes as “the largest U.S. Government biometric database and the second largest biometric database in the world, containing over 270 million identities from over 40 U.S. agencies.”
Biometric identifiers include fingerprints, facial features and other physiological characteristics that can be used for automated identification. In some cases, these identifiers have been harvested by the US government without the consent of the citizens in question (more on that later).
The data-sharing arrangement is being offered to all 40 countries selected for the US government’s Visa Waiver Program (VWP). That means their citizens can travel to the U.S. for up to 90 days without a visa. They include most of the EU’s 27 Member States, three of the US’ four fellow members of the Five Eye Alliance (United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia), Japan and South Korea.
Of course, the US government is not offering to share the biometric data of 270 million of its citizens out of pure selfless altruism. It wants something in return — namely the biometric data of the citizens of its partner states:
“In turn, DHS may submit biometrics to IBIS partner countries to search against their biometric identity management systems in order for partner countries to provide DHS with sharable biographic, derogatory, and encounter information when a U.S. search matches their biometric records. This high-volume matching and data exchange is accomplished within minutes and is fully automated; match confirmation and supporting data is exchanged with no officer intervention.”
The emphasis in the last sentence was added by Statewatch, for good reason. In the fully digitised world that is fast taking shape around us, many of the decisions or actions taken by local, regional or national authorities that affect us will be fully automated; no human intervention will be needed. That means that trying to get those decisions or actions reversed or overturned is likely to be a Kafkaesque nightmare.

Surveillance and Harassment in Uvalde
The organized surveillance and harassment programs I wrote about in CHAMELEO (OR Books, 2015) are becoming so overt that even mainstream newspapers like THE WASHINGTON POST and THE DAILY MAIL are beginning to write about the phenomenon. Inevitably, the reporters don't seem to be aware that these incidents are part of a much larger pattern. Or, if they are aware of it, they aren't reporting on that fact... not yet at least.
Here's an excerpt from Arelis R. Hernández and Paul Farhi's 6-28-22 WASHINGTON POST article entitled "Journalists in Uvalde Are Stonewalled, Hassled, Threatened with Arrest":
“I’m not trying to disturb anyone, guys,” Gill told the bikers, in a video he posted online. “I’m not trying to ask anybody any questions. I just wanted to watch. That’s all we can do, right?”
But the bikers followed and harassed journalists anyway, Gill wrote in the Chronicle. When he accidentally bumped into a Guardian who claimed to be a paramedic, the bikers accused him of assault and battery. “As a public servant, that’s kind of a felony,” the biker-paramedic said in the video.
A month after 19 children and two educators were killed at Robb Elementary School, a picture is emerging of a disastrous police response, in which officers from several law enforcement agencies waited for an hour outside an unlocked classroom where children were trapped with the attacker. But journalists who have flocked to Uvalde, Tex., from across the country to tell that story have faced near-constant interference, intimidation and stonewalling from some of the same authorities — and not only bikers claiming to have police sanction.
Journalists have been threatened with arrest for “trespassing” outside public buildings. They have been barred from public meetings and refused basic information about what police did during the May 24 attack. After several early, error-filled news conferences, officials have routinely turned down interview requests and refused to hold news briefings. The situation has been made even more fraught by the spider’s web of local and state agencies involved in responding to and investigating the shooting, some of which now blame each other for the chaos.
“Our reporters have covered [the 2017 massacre in] Sutherland Springs, the Fort Hood shooting, and some are very experienced, having been embedded with military in Afghanistan, covered revolutions in Latin American, and none of them could remember an experience like this,” said Marc Duvoisin, editor in chief of the San Antonio Express-News. “The interference was so intense and without an identifiable public safety purpose.” [...]
It is not unusual for public information to be lacking in the aftermath of a catastrophe, or for locals to be rankled when hordes of reporters converge on a small town. But the pattern of miscommunication, stonewalling and intimidation in Uvalde has surprised even journalists with decades of experience, and led some to suspect it is intentional.

Here's an excerpt from Chris Matthews' 6-27-22 DAILY MAIL article entitled "Mom Who Was Cuffed by Cops Before She Managed to Jump the Fence and Save Her Son and His Friends from Uvalde Gunman Claims She Is Now Being Harassed by Officers Who 'Park Outside Her Home and Flicker Their Headlights'":
A mom who was cuffed by cops at Uvalde before she was able to save her two sons from the gunman at Robb Elementary has claimed officers have been harassing her since the massacre.
The Texas elementary school shooting on May 24 left 19 children and two teachers dead.
On the day of the shooting, Angeli Rose Gomez rushed to the school and saved her kids even though officers tried to stop her.
A total of 77 minutes elapsed between police arriving at the scene and their confrontation with the gunman.
In that time, Angeli Rose Gomez rushed to the school and was cuffed outside it as she tried to rescue her children.
She convinced a Uvalde officer she knew to ask a US Marshal to let her out of the cuffs.
As soon as she was free she ran to the school, saving her kids, all while police were still allowing shooter Salvador Rolando Ramos, 18, to roam with an assault rifle.
Uvalde School District Police Chief Pete Arredondo in particular faces stinging criticism over his response to the mass shooting and was put on administrative leave after last week.
Since the shooting, Gomez said she has faced 'harassment' from officers.
While the family was exercising one evening, a cop had 'parked at the corner, flickering us with his headlights', she told Fox 29.
She's separated from her children because of the alleged harassment and is considering filing a lawsuit in the wake of the shooting.
Her lawyer, Mark Di Carlo, a criminal defense lawyer from Corpus Christi who is representing around 15 Uvalde parents, said because Arredondo 'wasn't fired immediately' there was an 'indication of corruption or wrong-doing.'
Gomez also previously slammed officers for warning her with a probation violation for obstruction of justice after she spoke to the media.
Gomez
said she was called by an officer who warned she would be hit with
legal trouble over a charge against her from over a decade ago.
She insisted she wouldn't be cowed and would continue sharing her story after the judge presiding her previous case said she would be fined.
