Thoughts?

Pretty cool, but a little slow and long for people who are supposed to know how to use this stuff to influence others.

Ironic right? Definitely interesting. I read the army is catching some flack for producing it, find that strange too

Bragg’s 4th Psychological Operations Group-Airborne. Hmmmmmmm…

Thoughts?

Oh, the threat is most definitely evolving…

beyond that I cannot comment on this topic.

It is aimed at a very specific subgroup, not the masses.

That's what I was thinking. Figure out your target audience, and go after them. A story on another site had many feeling this was "creepy", and "scary, so I will be checking dark corners in my home". But that was a Charlotte Observer article that was on a MSNBC site. I found it to be a great add. I liked the history and the way it made one think a bit. Not going to appeal to a person who wants to be in a M1 Abrams, a Chinook, or building time in a C-17 to fly for the airlines when they get out. As you said, a certain group of people.

"The purpose of tactics is to affect human perception." - John Boyd

• Penetrate & disrupt adversary's time competitive decision-making process.
• Change situation more rapidly than adversary can comprehend.
• Create conditions to prevent adversary from forming mental images that agree with unfolding situation.

• Break down adversary:
  • Mentally
    • Intuitive and analytical cognitive processes
  • Emotionally
    • Feelings & sensibility
  • Psychologically
    • Mentally + emotionally = shape behavior, reactions & expectations

• Cause confusion & disorder:
  • Attack/menace adversary's mind-time-space
  • Create a turbulent and rapidly deteriorating situation with which adversary cannot cope
  • Inhibit/impair adversary's ability/capacity to shape or adapt to change

Sounds like what's happening in the US...

At lest two sides are always going at it in some form or another. The Soviets had the "World Peace Movement" or something like that back in the Cold War. The East German Stassi probably had a lot going on in W. Germany and surrounding areas. I bet the list is long with the usual characters of the era.

The man who never was... I like it.

The British were masters of this stuff during WWII

Wouldn’t that be a “conspiracy”. Crazy.

I have been going over "The Art of War" a second time. I skimmed Roger Ames' introduction the first time, being so philosophical.

From the Army's 4th Psychological Operations Group?

"Ghosts In The Machine" From 4th PSYOP Group (Army) - Sallie Borrink

Are you ready for something very interesting? This video from the 4th Psychological Operations Group dropped several days ago. I saw it the first night it started circulating on Telegram, but didn’t share it here because I wasn’t sure what to make of it. Wikipedia describes the 4th PSYOP Group...
