I just read the pamphlet "Silent Weapons to Quiet Wars" that you suggested and would say it is not worth reading.

There is not much in it, besides a (presumably) faked origin and typesetting, a brief analogy to physics and electronics, hushed talk of banks and domination, and a lot of hand waving and winking at the reader



There's a lot more to it than that and I'd encourage people to form their own opinions. It maps fairly close to our current reality, even if that mapping is uncomfortable for some to read. Considering the publication date, you can use abductive logic to say "yep, all of this chaos was intentional."


> There's a lot more to it than that

I disagree. It gestures to a lot more (operational research, electronics, physics, etc), but just loosely points to them to make analogies. If you have no familiarity with those subjects, it is better to read about them elsewhere. If you are familar with them, then the analogies just seem shallow and don't provide to the pamphlet other than to fluff it up to make it seem more scientific than it is.

The rest of it refers to bankers (Rothchild!), domination and sub-nations. It also has a presumably fake origin story, and smacks of being a modern Elders of Zion like work.

I didn't know anything about this pamphlet other than what you posted before reading it (and I only read it because it has a provocative title), but I would suggest to anyone else not to waste their time- go read instructive books on operational research, cybernetics, etc, instead of this pretending to be a secret book from the 70's


Comments like yours are why I like HN. Reasonable discussion calling out BS and craziness with rebuttals grounded in fact, kept on topic, with minimal/no emotional flair.

You didn't read it, then (you replied to me within 30 minutes).


I did read it- it is very short :)
