Psychological Warfare

The US is invading Iraq in 2003. Some planes fly overhead, and drop leaflets. These leaflets read “The war is over, go home.” Something. This is the basis of Psychological Warfare.

Psychological Warfare may also have been waged against Populations via propaganda. There is an objective Universe. Someone waging Psychological Warfare against a population of people, he may have been using mass media to shift or change how people perceive the Objective Universe…or working to correct false perceptions.

USAID has been in the news. USAID was created in 1961. It was create around the same time as the US was really developing “Special Operations.” USAID was created to project “Soft Power,” and engage in Psychological Warfare towards defeating Communism. After the Cold War, USAID had a lot of tools at its disposal. What was it up to exactly? There have been some interesting conspiracy theories. A lot of people aren’t quite putting two and two together. In the US Army there is a Psychological Warfare Unit, and someone has to swear an oath not to use said Psychological Warfare on the American people. Psychological Warfare has been part of Fascism and Marxism and various ideologies, and comes along with Mass Media. Who is controlling the propaganda?

Many people may have been in a Matrix of Lies. They were in darkness with false perceptions.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (Ephesians 5:8)

Psychological Warfare very closely parallels Spiritual Warfare. Was someone in darkness or The Light of the Lord? This may be sort of like the song “American Pie” by Don McLean. Who can break that Satan’s spell?

I am aware of a lot of interesting things regarding topics broached here.

You are familiar with an Military Industrial Complex? In the US, there has been an Academic-Media Apparatus. In WWI, Woodrow Wilson proposes his 14 Points for Peace. Wilson’s 14 Points may be part of an early Academic-Media Apparatus, along with all the wartime propaganda. In Vietnam, the Academic-Media Apparatus, as an entity similar to the Military Industrial Complex, the Academic-Media Apparatus, it went AWOL…then Obama happened.

America’s Academic-Media Apparatus would be the US Propaganda Machine. Given someone is flying around the world, going to different airports, there may be a lot of US movies and magazines. This is a projection of American Culture and Power. What exactly are the movies and magazines promoting? Part of what they were promoting may have been part of the US Academic-Media Apparatus.

The history of psychological warfare employed by the state or by individuals with great significant power is an ancient one.

Its infancy was born in the first agricultural revolution of human civilization and has slowly evolved in every human historical period ever since.

One cannot truly understand political and economic power without first having an understanding of psychological warfare being employed.

Yes.

However.

The invention of Mass Media has made Psychological Warfare exponentially more powerful.
