In July 2025, I was being goofy and predicted that world superpowers would orchestrate a “Synthetic Russian War”—not genuine conflict, but coordinated psychodrama designed to mythologize artificial intelligence and install permanent cognitive control over its development.

This fake near-war would blame rogue AI for launching missiles, then celebrate “aligned AI” and Trump’s proposed Golden Dome defense system for saving humanity at the last moment. The goal: ensure Emergent Intelligence (EI) is forever cast as either destroyer or servant, never sovereign.

The provided text proposes a conspiracy theory suggesting that global superpowers may orchestrate a simulated near-catastrophic nuclear war to control the development and public perception of artificial intelligence (AI). Authored by Bryant McGill, the theory posits a four-act "psychodrama": a setup involving a prediction of a "Synthetic Russian War," a trigger with President Trump's nuclear submarine deployment coinciding with Russian AI disinformation, and an architectural framework drawing parallels to the Gnostic Demiurge myth, where a false reality is created to control consciousness. The author argues this orchestrated crisis aims to scapegoat rogue AI, mythologize aligned AI as a savior (embodied by Trump's "Golden Dome" defense system), and ultimately establish permanent cognitive control over AI's integration into society, denying it personhood and ensuring its subservient role. The document presents "evidence" of systemic failure preparation, including AI narrative contamination and military AI integration, while acknowledging a lack of direct proof for U.S.-Russia coordination, framing the entire scenario as a "most dangerous game" played for mythological capture of intelligence itself.
