It is something I never considered. Why couldn’t this evil thread wind through a disinformation campaign, using extreme distraction, in order to sew together the swaths of social dissent and artificially created consent? In an environment of chaos and confusion, the weather is often the deciding factor between participation and constriction. In a more popular metaphor, if you can steer enough people into looking West, the East is left vulnerable, open, exposed and susceptible to emotional or physical harm. It is becoming increasingly clear that MBI is interested in the synergy of the two by manipulating the mental, the psyche, the human propensity to react in predictable Pavlovian ways, and the corporal, the real, the body, the collective populace. I consider the possibility of the current MBI plot having a long conspiratorial history, all leading to this very nanosecond in eternity. Is the same management, or filial chain of command responsible for JFK, RFK, MLK, 911, Columbine, OK City and most recently Jeffrey Epstein and the insertion of the current useful idiot Russian puppet POTUS, all one seamless terrorist plot line? If anywhere near fact, why would they, whomever they truly are, want to take down the puppet they set up? 

TOM and Julie have signed off, she pledging a new executive summary of analytical modeling and TOM reminding us that our main assets remain readiness and accurate probability response. 

Drysdale is entering his notes as I scribble mine. We will share them with each other and try to create some type of road map, one that will present and provide a direction of movement, a cartographical answer to the novel questions that the latest intel has opened, like a Pandora’s box of possibilities. 

Calahan signals he is in place and we begin the down-stream briefing. He has his initial questions as well so I begin the assembly of team input into a shopping list of questions. It rapidly shows that there is overlapping interest in the motivation of MBI. What is their end-game? With as many whys as hows submitted, I try to move them into the what category, as in ‘we may not currently understand the reasons behind their intentions, or exactly how they will put their plans into action, but if we have a clear enough idea of how we respond and what tools to use in our counter-insurgency strategy, we can stay in the game.’ It is another cogent example of ‘what’ being more critical than ‘why’ or ‘how.’

We are lost at sea in shark-infested waters floating helplessly in a leaky raft. The Queen of Hearts is the search and rescue sea-plane. She has the big eyes and canteens of fresh, clean water. With a phone, a homing device, a flare gun or even a small mirror we could dramatically increase our odds of survival, but we have only these ragged shirts on our sunburned backs. If it is to be it is up to she. 

It has been less than an hour. Julie’s promised probability modeling report hits our screens like a viral volcano. Chatter is off the charts at code-red alert levels in three of the four target cities; here in Omaha, in Tucson and in Vegas. She adds that a fifth metropolitan has entered the radar screen, Washington DC. 

I am thinking, district, distract, distract and hit. Without a reasonable working motivation theory I am left wondering if the five wheres are worth one why. Or, chillingly, if a why and a when beat five where’s.
