Boone Cutler served as a Psychological Operations Team Sergeant in the war in Iraq as a team commander in Sadr City. He has written multiple books, including The Citizen s Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare, co-authored with Gen. Michael Flynn, a book he co-wrote with us just a few days ago.
00:01:41.620The most interesting, they're all interesting, but the one that has impressed me the most is the book that he wrote with General Michael Flynn, a Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare.
00:01:53.580Boone Cutler, welcome to the Stone Zone.
00:01:56.020Roger, it's a pleasure, man, to be on air with you again and talking about the things that a lot of people just, I mean, even back in the day when we were talking about cannabis, there was a lot of pushback.
00:02:50.960But you've really stood up for Americans, veterans.
00:02:54.080And this is what interests me the most.
00:02:56.600So explain concisely what a psychological operations team sergeant does.
00:03:02.400Well, psychological operations team sergeant runs a PSYOP team.
00:03:07.020It's called a TPT, a tactical psychological operations team.
00:03:10.060And your job is to basically integrate with a supported unit inside an area of operation and be the commander's voice on the battlefield.
00:03:18.200The other thing is you're going to do is you're going to work the shaping of that environment in non-kinetic ways, meaning changing the way the people are acting without having to kill them.
00:03:28.980So and this is done in a myriad of ways.
00:03:31.740But I really enjoyed that job because you really are immersed in the people.
00:03:37.760In Sadr City, we were we were on the street every single day with the people of Sadr City, you know, listening to them, paying attention to them, seeing what their motivations were, their vulnerabilities, susceptibilities were.
00:03:47.940And being able to shape that environment to make the environment safer for Americans, but also at the same time, really pushing towards our U.S. or U.S. national objectives without having to obliterate everybody.
00:04:04.840It's something that you can put on the ground pretty much anywhere and do some really fantastic work in a very humane way that shapes environments.
00:04:14.120Yeah, I want to once again recommend the book that Boone Cutler co-wrote with General Michael Flynn, who was with us just a few days ago, The Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare, which is designed to help society overcome the Marxist psychological conditioning strategies that attack the cognitive battle space in the nation today.
00:04:35.860Boone, what what what what survival skills do Americans do all people have to have in this era of of fifth generation warfare?
00:04:47.520Well, I would kind of boil it down to a couple of things.
00:04:50.640The first thing, and I say this over and over again to people that I talk to, protect your mind, control your emotions, because the only way you really can protect your mind is to control your emotions.
00:05:00.440We see these polarized messaging strategies all day long.
00:05:04.960People who are on social media all day long, they're getting hit with it constantly, constantly, constantly.
00:05:09.800And one of the ways you protect your mind, you control your emotions with a good amount of discernment is through tech hygiene and tech discipline, especially in today's online world.
00:05:19.520So tech hygiene is making sure you're looking at stuff that's good for you.
00:05:23.240You know, just like your physical hygiene, your physical health, you want to put good things into your body so you can get the optimal performance out of your body.
00:05:30.740Well, it's the same thing with your mind.
00:05:32.400With tech hygiene, we want to make sure that we're good.
00:05:34.620We're looking at the things that that are that are positive.
00:06:08.640They're doing the same thing you are online every day.
00:06:11.400You know, tech is like today's digital crack.
00:06:13.760And what I see is I see parents giving their kids an iPad from the time they're about three years old, which is like giving your kid crack so you can do more crack.
00:06:23.040And this is the thing we got to step out of.
00:06:25.260So if I was going to give anybody, you know, a crash course on what you can do for yourself right now is step away from the tech.
00:06:32.740Go spend time in nature with your family and people you love and just be around them.
00:06:37.440It does amazing things for your mental health.
00:06:41.400One of the things, the phenomena that we see is people who begin to believe that the Internet is the real world, people who believe specifically that social media is the real world and that everyone knows what you know because you spend so much time on social media.
00:06:58.260It is addictive, but it is not the real world.
00:07:02.300And therefore, what you say is absolutely true.
00:07:05.400I think that that leads to very dangerous, dangerous habits.
00:07:10.300I'm particularly concerned about artificial intelligence.
00:07:13.400I've been a victim of artificial intelligence.
00:07:15.920You can see many videos online of me allegedly saying things that I never said.
00:07:21.320If you look pretty carefully, you can see that they're fraudulent.
00:07:24.480But it is very, very dangerous because at not much cost and with very little skill,
00:07:31.560we can make a video, say, of Joe Biden or Donald Trump, for that matter, saying things that they never said.
00:07:39.100How do you think we should fight the abuses of artificial intelligence?
00:07:45.120Well, the first thing is, and General Flynn and I, in the Citizen's Guide to Fifth Generation Warfare, it's a three-book series.
00:07:51.680The first book is Introduction to 5GW.
00:07:54.000The second one is How to Fight Artificial Intelligence.
00:07:56.620And the third one is The Role of the Church.
00:07:58.160In the second book of the series, we talk a lot about, you know, what things people can do.
00:08:04.020And the first thing is make yourself smart.
00:08:06.360You know, make yourself smart on what the capabilities of these artificial intelligence systems and platforms can do.
00:08:13.460That way you can recognize what you're looking at when you're looking at it.
00:08:16.860And I'll tell people this, and I'll tell them over and over again.
00:08:19.600It's not the robots that you have to worry about.
00:08:21.940A lot of people think about robots when they think about AI.
00:08:24.340It's really about the AI-driven psychological programming.
00:08:28.560And the AI-driven psychological programming is typically foreign-born, being launched by Iran, Russia, China, into the United States.
00:08:37.720And it's really like artillery for the mind that is just blowing everything up constantly.
00:08:43.260And it gets people in these behavioral cycles.
00:08:46.260And that's the AI-driven psychological programming.
00:08:48.520I mean, it really kind of takes everybody at the most basic animal level and starts shaping the way people think from their origin points.
00:10:27.800They put me on all the benzodiazepines, and I lived that life of addiction through those medications for a number of years until I stopped.
00:10:35.860And it was actually cannabis that got me off of a lot of that because then I could get good sleep.
00:10:40.940And that was just an amazing turning point.
00:10:42.840Things started to change for me there.
00:10:46.700I got off most of the opiates later when CBD became proliferated.
00:10:52.000That really helped me get off the rest of the opiates.
00:10:54.260But I was still having a lot of issues with PTSD and TBI, and there's overlap in the PTSD and TBI.
00:11:02.320Well, later on down the road, I was – so just to kind of underline the thing.
00:11:07.580So I can talk to everybody about the different types of therapies that are out there.
00:11:11.700I can talk to the different types of drug therapies that are out there.
00:11:14.540I can talk to people about the addictions because I've been through it, and I've been through it with several people, several other veterans, getting them help.
00:11:21.260Like, and then this thing came out, this – I was hearing it kind of like – especially like when you and I were talking about cannabis way back in the day.
00:11:29.820You could just hear these rumblings and see things change slowly.
00:11:33.660Well, I was starting to see those same rumblings around psychedelics, but I was not educated on it until a good friend of mine had gone – two good friends of mine had gone down to Mexico.
00:11:44.980And I knew the shape that they were in.
00:11:46.900So when they came back and they were touting how wonderful this had been for them, that kind of pushed me over the edge to figure it out because I trusted their reports.
00:11:56.640And so I got involved in it because I went down to Mexico, and I did psychedelic therapy.
00:12:03.860And the one thing that I immediately noticed was that, one, addictions completely fade away.
00:12:31.120And we kind of had to deal with that thorn in our side as a couple for several, several years.
00:12:36.620And then I did the psychedelics, and I was actually in San Diego coming back home, and I was with a buddy who also went through the treatment.
00:12:45.740And I started laughing, and he says, why are you laughing?
00:12:47.980I said, I just walked past a bar in an airport.
00:12:50.720I haven't done that in 10 years, and it meant nothing to me.
00:12:55.640And so the alcohol, the behavior around alcohol, the addiction side of it was just gone, just completely gone.
00:13:02.400And the ability to think, you know, cognitively with TBI, the psychedelics just does so many good things neurologically for people, and also the PTSD issues, the ability to maintain some semblance of self-control.
00:13:19.100You know, people call me Zen boon now, and they used to call me like Hulk boon because I'd blow up all the time.
00:13:59.580But right now, most of it is done on the underground in the United States, or you have to go to Mexico.
00:14:04.880And they've got great treatment facilities in Mexico.
00:14:07.760Yeah, Ibogaine is a psychoactive alkaloid derived from the root bark of a specific African shrub.
00:14:15.400And it has shown enormous potential in treating depression and PTSD, particularly in cases resistant to conventional therapies.
00:14:24.500Evidently, it stems from its complex interaction with the brain, where it acts on multiple transmitter systems, including serotonin, dopamine, and NMDA receptors.
00:18:34.940Boone Cutler, who's a veteran, has served his country with distinction, now dedicates his life to helping other warfighters, other veterans.
00:18:44.440Check out his three books with General Flynn, all regarding the fifth generation warfare America is facing today.
00:18:54.160Particularly at this time when we may be facing yet another foreign war.
00:19:00.160I trust President Trump to make the right decision.
00:19:02.980It has to be a very lonely and difficult time for him as he makes life and death decisions around his nation.
00:19:08.840But I thank God that it is he, not Joe Biden or, God forbid, Kamala Harris, making those decisions.
