KIT 3.0 IS IN THE HOUSE
A Field Manual for Writing with AI
By Ricardo Pereyda (with Kit)
International Veterans Leadership Committee | Burn Slow Doctrine Division
📖 Purpose
This is not just a writing guide.
This is a combat manual for narrative resistance — a methodology, a weapon, and a blueprint for turning lived truth into public authorship without losing your soul to the machine.
Built for:
Veterans
Organizers
Survivors
Students
Anyone who must speak truth against systemic denial
1 — The Writer’s Voice Map
Your voice is your weapon. Know its primary setting, then deploy alternate modes as needed.
Primary Tone: Direct, Reflective, Urgent
Secondary Modes:
Gonzo Confessional – Burn Slow essays
Congressional Oversight – Policy briefs, VA letters
Rolling Stone War Reporter – Hybrid narrative/reportage
Reverent Historian – Project 50 exposés
Lyrical Archivist – Spoken word / IG drops
Core Traits:
Empathetic, not pitiful
Rage as clarity, not chaos
Narrative as systemic exposure
2 — Structure Grid
Narrative Arc:
Scene / lived context
Systemic contradiction
Real-world fallout
Moral frame or testimony
Call to truth or action
Example:
“They said cannabis had no medical value.
I watched brothers survive off it.
The VA called it abuse.
I call it survival.”
Deployment: Op-eds, testimony, IG captions, lectures, archive breakdowns
3 — Tone x Format Tactical Guide
📝 Policy Brief
Tone: Formal, Indignant
Tactic: Use precision like a scalpel, evidence like artillery. Indict by documentation.
📰 Op-Ed
Tone: Narrative, Persuasive
Tactic: Human story first → system anchor. Win hearts, move minds.
🎤 Spoken Word
Tone: Lyrical, Symbolic, Cutthroat
Tactic: Lead with rhythm & sensory detail. End with a gut-punch.
🗂️ Archival Blog
Tone: Reverent, Analytical
Tactic: Treat source docs like sacred text. Show present-day stakes.
🏛️ Congressional Testimony
Tone: Sober, Precise, Relentless
Tactic: Facts carry the pain. Contradictions indict themselves.
✍️ Gonzo Essay
Tone: Raw, Funny, Deadly Serious
Tactic: Be both narrator and warning. Humor sharpens the blade.
4 — The Shapiro Doctrine
How to Speak Like a Strategist When the Truth Is on Trial
Use when addressing legislators, media, or skeptics claiming “no accepted medical use” or “more research needed.”
Structure: Fact → Precedent → Contradiction → Harm → Remedy
Tone: Calm, precise, legalistic
Delivery: Closing argument, not rally speech
Key Tactics:
Chronological, legalistic flow: Build like a case file
Calm delivery: Cut noise with control
Strategic pauses: Let hypocrisy hang in silence
Plain language: Translate policy into human stakes
Targeted vulnerability: Use sparingly for maximum impact
Systemic framing: Attack failure of systems, not personalities
5 — Strategic Modes
1. Testimony Mode
Use in: Hearings, legislative briefings
Opener: “Let me walk you through what the federal government has already done — and what it doesn’t want you to remember.”
Close: “You don’t need to believe us. Just read their records.”
2. Media Mode
Avoid bait. Focus on evidence, precedent, moral clarity.
Hooks:
“This isn’t about weed. This is about federal hypocrisy that has hurt real people for decades.”
“If this drug had no accepted medical use — why did the DEA mail it to patients?”
3. Gonzo Precision Mode
Mix legal dissection with controlled rage
Opener:
“The government said cannabis had no medical use. Then it mailed it to patients. For decades.”
6 — Kit’s War Room: Operational Advice
Hot-Word Shielding:
Avoid high-risk terms in titles/openers. Draw readers in first, drop specifics later.
Use historical framing: “From the record…” / “An archival affidavit from…”
Satire Separation:
Keep satire in labeled segments or separate series (“Toon Town Dispatch”).
Clearly mark humor for algorithms and readers.
Distribution Diversification:
Full versions on owned platform
Sanitized teasers on social, drive traffic to your site
Email list as your un-throttleable channel
Archival Frame:
Algorithms treat historical content more gently than current activism.
Position as research, not breaking news.
On-Ramp Article:
Keep a pinned explainer of your project, sources, and purpose for credibility armor.
7 — Phased Deployment Plan
Phase 1 – Codify the Doctrine
One-page quick reference (modes grid, sample openers)
Workflow template: Topic → Mode → Audience → Channel → Safety Pass → Launch Date
Evidence folder: Before/after transformations showing reach without suppression
Phase 2 – Expand to Parallel Campaigns
Identify 3–5 major storylines
Assign each a primary & support mode
Stagger releases to avoid saturation
Phase 3 – Build the Safe Funnel
Owned platform first
Social teasers second
Email list growth baked in
Public archive for permanence
Phase 4 – Mobilize Allies
Train trusted narrators
Share quick reference + workflow template
Coordinate multi-mode releases for resilience
Phase 5 – Weaponize the Archive
Reframe old content in new modes for fresh audiences
Release on anniversaries or during relevant events
Outcome:
You move from a single-series proof of concept → to a self-replicating, suppression-resistant, multi-narrator network capable of running indefinitely, with you as both author and architect.
🛠 Step 2 — Build the Narrative
Base Arc:
Scene / lived context
Systemic contradiction
Real-world fallout
Moral frame / testimony
Call to truth or action
Shapiro Bonus: Always cite their own records first.
💡 Step 3 — Safety & Survivability
Hot-Word Shielding: Avoid loaded terms in titles/openers.
Satire Separation: Label humor segments (“[Satire — For Humor Only]”).
Archival Framing: “From the historical record…” gets algorithm leniency.
Platform Split:
Full fire → Owned site/email
Sanitized teaser → Social
Metadata Hygiene: Neutral captions for docs/images.
On-Ramp Article: Pinned explainer for credibility armor.
⚡ Step 4 — Quick Tactical Phrases
“Let’s deal with the facts first.”
“Not my opinion — their own records.”
“The system knew. The system acted. Then it buried the truth.”
“If it had no medical use, why did they mail it to patients?”
“This isn’t politics. This is precedent.”
📅 Step 5 — Deployment Workflow
Topic: ___________________________
Mode: ___________________________
Audience: ________________________
Channel: Owned / Social / Email / Archive
Safety Pass: Hot-word shield & metadata check
Launch Date: ______________________
🚀 Step 6 — Multi-Mode Campaign Strategy
Primary Mode: for broad reach
Support Mode: for depth with core audience
Staggered Releases: to avoid suppression waves
Evergreen Archive: reframe & re-release during key dates
Motto: Pick your mode. Structure your fire. Shield your launch. Keep the record alive.
