That bigger puzzle you are talking about is a topic I’m extremely familiar with. You appear to have read 3 random books (none of which were written by anyone who worked in that field) at some point and are now relying on excessive use of quotation marks to make it seem more mysterious than it is. I’m not looking to debate you on this one, I was pointing out that I happen to know with an incredibly high level of confidence that what you are saying isn’t correct.

You can claim whatever you want on the Internet. I have seen no evidence from you (links/articles/books etc.) regarding your knowledge of the subject domain and hence do not have to take you seriously at all. The resources i have listed are for the general public to get an idea of how to think about the overall subject domain and not some rah-rah storybook. People who study strategy/tactics/politics/psychology/warfare/operant conditioning etc. will understand what i am driving at while the others can ignore it as they please.

  I have a very hard time believing you actually study “strategy/tactics/politics/psychology/warfare/operant conditioning etc” and also came up with that particular list of book suggestions. One is from a straight up fraud. Another is based on an series of interviews with the man who is widely known as the single worst leader the CIA has ever had because he was so paranoid and ever since they got rid of him they have spent every moment warning against ever having another person like him in a leadership position again. The other I don’t know but seems to be really aligned with this same ultra paranoid worldview but has nothing to do with actual professionals.

    You keep using the term "professional" but all your posts so far are anything but. There is no information, no specifics and in short nothing of any value whatsoever which i keep calling out. And yet you keep responding with even more empty verbiage. The book authors i have quoted are established academics/intellectuals/investigative journalists (i.e. the people who study “strategy/tactics/politics/psychology/warfare/operant conditioning etc” for a living) which you don't want to seem to accept thus reflecting quite badly on your grasp/understanding of the subject domain (assuming there is anything at all there in the first place). I can do no more than suggest education followed by introspection as a possible cure.
