We See What Others Cannot
Why Project #OMEGA EU and Australian organizations now face Russian, Chinese, Iranian, and proxy actors who fuse cyber operations, influence work, and psychological pressure. Generative AI gives those actors scale, speed, and reach. Standard cyber training falls behind that tempo. Project OMEGA from Treadstone 71 addresses that gap through a five-day in-person residency in Berlin,…

Most companies are sitting ducks wrapped in expensive encryption. You have compliance checkboxes ticked and a bloated security stack, but you likely have zero visibility beyond your own perimeter. The adversary loves that. They operate in the blind spots you ignore—dark web forums, encrypted chats, and supply chain weak links—planning attacks long before your SIEM…
The line between war and peace has blurred. Adversaries strike with memes instead of missiles, rumors instead of rockets, and whispers instead of warning shots. Treadstone 71 has built three programs for this new frontier. Each course is a chapter in a trilogy of clandestine training designed to turn raw analysts into operatives who see…

Program Link The briefing is stark: adversaries no longer rely on bombs or breaches alone. They rely on words, images, and the architecture of your perception. This course pulls you behind the curtain, showing how cognitive warfare and cyber psyops operate as weapons of choice in modern conflict. The journey begins with doctrine, not code….

Professor Michael Barak’s call for a national “cognitive army” underscores the recognition that influence is now as decisive as firepower. He points to Hamas’s ability to frame narratives through influencers, bot networks, and sympathetic journalists while amplifying themes on Western campuses through organizations such as National Students for Justice in Palestine. His prescription emphasizes a…
Induced Governance Induced governance represents the first operational system designed to target consciousness directly. Traditional authoritarian models rely on physical suppression or the open censorship of thought, but this emerging paradigm engineers a stable state of altered perception. Intelligence analysts must view this not merely as a political shift but as the apex of cognitive…
”Data tyranny” functions as a modern authoritarian construct that systematically restricts privacy and strangles individual freedom. A “data-centric life” fundamentally alters the cognitive horizon and warps how civilization envisions the future. Intelligence analysts and critical thinkers must recognize that when metrics dictate reality, human agency dissolves. We face a future where predictive algorithms do not…

The Fourth Wave Trust evaporates when ruling elites and scientific vanguards conceal the catastrophic potential of their strategic gambles. Leaders who feign omniscience while navigating areas of profound uncertainty engage in a specific form of cognitive warfare against their own populations. Hiding the consequences of risky choices while privately acknowledging an inability to master the…

Information smog feels like breathing exhaust while trying to read a map. Messages stack up faster than attention, and the brain starts to triage (sort fast) with shortcuts instead of evidence. Treadstone71.com points to a practical antidote: a Personal Information Management (PIM) system. A PIM system gives a person a repeatable way to collect, sort,…
The Third Wave: Modern society currently endures the “third wave” of a relentless information flood. Humanity navigates a landscape defined by an absolute dependence on networks and communication technologies. Individuals engage in a compulsive, ceaseless pursuit of data, driven by continuous access to digital streams. Intelligence professionals must view this hyper-connectivity not merely as a…

Technical feasibility never grants moral license. A distinct chasm exists between what engineers can build and what humanity should accept. “Everything that is technically possible is not morally and spiritually acceptable” serves as a foundational warning for security practitioners operating in the modern era. Preserving human autonomy in a world dominated by technocratic systems requires…

Modern security paradigms face a new breed of aggression that defies traditional military categorization. Adversaries now execute hybrid actions to dismantle the security of states across political, social, and cyber dimensions simultaneously. Intelligence analysts must view these threats not as isolated incidents, but as a cohesive, multidimensional strategy designed to exploit the “gray zone” between…

On October 25, 2024, the release of the “Spooky Connections” report brought a decades-old whisper network into the harsh light of public scrutiny. At the center of this dossier is a disturbing new allegation by former Sports Illustrated model Stacey Williams, who describes a “twisted game” of coordinated abuse involving Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein…

Identity can become a combustible fuel for action when it merges completely with a cause. This phenomenon, known as identity fusion, flips the script on traditional forecasting. Once individuals fuse their personal identity to a group narrative, rational calculus erodes – emotion takes over and persuasion is no longer needed. Such fused actors are fiercely…

One day, you will do something for the last time. Special moments rarely announce themselves. No banner. No notification. No solemn music cue. Life prefers stealth. One evening, you will silence your phone during dinner because you are tired, not knowing it is the final time your mom will ask how your day really went….
