Free speech is the most pragmatic tool we have for ascertaining the truth, as truth can only be ascertained by examining all sides of an issue. Psychological War (Psy War) is employed to keep us from the truth by distorting free speech via propaganda, censorship, and psychological tools to manipulate public opinion to accept a political narrative. It seeks to distort free speech, so all sides of an issue are not examined. The authors of these excerpts maintain that the U.S. government is waging PsyWar against U.S. citizens to keep us from knowing the truth on many issues.
The authors provide three recent examples to make their case:
COVID-19: The suppression of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as early treatment (the subject of segment 15) coupled with the use of fear to achieve compliance for public health measures that were largely ineffective, e.g. masking, lockdowns, etc.
CENSORSHIP: The Biden administration “forced” social media to censor counter views on their political narrative, particularly relative to vaccines.
THE STEELE DOSSIER: The FBI propagandized the Steele Dossier even though they knew it was false to maintain their Crossfire Hurricane/Russiagate investigation against Donald Trump.
You can validate their claims or not from the excerpts.
The authors also alert us to a new form of PsyWar – CYBERWARFARE: The tactics of cyberwarfare include disinformation, cyberstalking, and deepflakes.
They opine that the best way to combat Psy War is via citizen journalism.
Happy Learning, Harley
THE GOVERNMENT OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH – Segment 12 PSY WAR – EXCERPTS
INTRODUCTION: PsyWar is when a government or other organization coordinates and directs the deployment of propaganda, censorship, and psychological operations (psyops) tools and weapons in campaigns designed to manipulate public opinion. The United States government is now routinely waging PsyWar against U.S. citizens.
The leaders and political alliances responsible for this decision define their version of “democracy” as the idea that large established interests, essentially an oligarchy, should be the ones entrusted to define who the acceptable political candidates and positions are, and the rest of us are then allowed to vote within that portfolio. That was and remains their version of "democracy.” That is the truth behind the logic which is now being promoted with this talk about “saving democracy.” Saving it from whom? Apparently, the answer is that “democracy” must be saved from populist movements that threatens to disrupt the interests and plans of the American oligarchy. In order to “save democracy,” administrative and deep state actors, including prominent advocates such as former President Barack Obama, decided that the U.S. had to deploy the enormously powerful fifth-generation warfare of PsyWar technology that was designed by DoD, CIA, DIA and NSA for offshore, non-kinetic combat to advance the interests of the U.S. government and its allies globally.
When a government is willing to deploy modern psychological technology’s power against its citizenry, then the concepts of social contract, sovereignty, and personal autonomy become completely obsolete. This is the fundamental consequence of PsyWar methods being deployed by a government against its own citizens. The consequence of this decision is that what we now have is functionally akin to a series of mercenary propaganda and censorship armies or mercenary organizations, and they compete with each other. They almost all originated with academic links to places like Cambridge, Harvard, MIT, and Stanford. These organizations are actively competing with each other to garner government grants and contracts to censor and propagandize all of us and to deploy the most advanced psychological tools that they can develop “all for the common good,” all to “preserve democracy.” They are now employing artificial intelligence tools to further their goals.
The typical modern reason cited for deploying censorship and psychological technology on the population is to maintain the status quo, which is favorable to a group of oligarchs who are pursuing a centralized, globalist agenda. They want to maintain their status while guiding the world toward a new order or structure that is aligned with their financial and political interests, and they want to do it through the development, possession, and deployment of this kind of technology. The consequence is that the populace of each nation-state observes that the situation is getting worse and worse relative to what has previously been and what could be. Ordinary citizens observe a larger and larger gap between an optimal solution and the current solution. Unfortunately, the globalist oligarchy is instinctively doubling down on PsyWar propaganda and employing media surrogates to falsely label these populist movement as “Far Right,” “Fascist,” and “Neo-Nazi.”
But a counterweight has emerged against the government’s massive PsyWar against the American people. The uncensored mature internet ecosystem has allowed citizen journalists and independent voices to outcompete mainstream state-sponsored news media, which had been, to a greater or lesser extent, controlled by the administrative and deep states for many years. It is our independent citizen journalists that just may set us free.
PROPAGANDA AND BEHAVIORAL CONTROL: Those who employ propaganda will often use whatever means are necessary to achieve their ends because they have already decided that it is ethically acceptable to manipulate human behavior surreptitiously. Propaganda technologies informed by modern psychology breach the right to personal freedom of thought, autonomy, and sovereignty. The internet has become a force multiplier for modern propaganda methodology.
During COVID-19, propaganda methods based on advanced applied psychology were developed and successfully deployed to coerce people into taking experimental vaccine products, as well as a variety of non-pharmaceutical interventions such as wearing paper masks that are not effective in preventing viral infection transmission, social distancing, and quarantining or “lockdown.” We have all lived through the effects of these massive and globally coordinated propaganda campaigns, the likes of which the world has never seen.
When a government decides to wage PsyWar on its own citizens, then the fundamentals and concepts of free agency sovereignty, voting integrity, and representative democracy become irrelevant. If we wish to remain independent thinkers and preserve our ability to learn, think, and debate issues, we must become warriors in the fight against government development and deployment or propaganda, censorship, and PsyWar.
A Real-World Example of How the US Government Propaganda System Works to Control Opinion and Thought: In 2018, the World Health Organization proposed the idea of “Disease X,” a placeholder for a disease that could potentially cause a major epidemic or pandemic. The original idea was that planning for an imaginary “Disease X” would allow scientists, public health officials, and physicians to design the best possible practices for a future epidemic or pandemic. The idea behind Disease X was later weaponized to create a fog of fear in the public and governments. In a 2021 study, it was found that “the only predictor of behavior change during COVID-19 was fear.” Despite their finding that such fear was related to a decrease in both emotional and physical well-being, the authors concluded that using fear to drive the public into compliance with federal policies was the only path forward for public health.
Without further questioning the basic ethics behind using fear to drive compliance, this logic became the consensus of public health officials and governments worldwide. The use of fear to get compliance for vaccines and vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, masking, lockdowns, social distancing, school closures, etc. was acceptable in the name of public health. And just like that, “Disease X” has been substituted for COVID-19. Such weaponized fear, otherwise known as fearporn, has been found to elicit more public compliance for public health measures such as masking, social distancing, vaccines, and lockdowns.
When the government decided that they would not support the use of ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as early treatments against COVID-19, despite our laws that allow such usage, these also became censored topics and taboo to discuss. Messages about ivermectin being dangerous and [untrue] news stories about horse-paste sickening people were planted throughout the internet and TV. This was censorship and propaganda against the American people. This was and is an example of the deployment of PsyWar.
The COVID crisis was never really a crisis in the way it was portrayed. It was always a house of cards built upon USA, CCP, and WHO propaganda and grossly overstated risk modeling and projections from Imperial College, London, developed by the Neil Ferguson research group. Layers and layers of propaganda. Deep, harmonized, simultaneous collusion, enticement, censorship, malicious defamation, and gaslighting across all Western political organizations.
DEEP STATE CENSORSHIP: It should not be up to the US government or its contractors to determine what speech is or is not allowed on the internet. The government has jumped from its stated purpose of removing verified foreign false information about elections on social media to removing any media, from experts and others, that does not parrot the government narrative about any chosen topic. It even goes so far as to remove content that can’t be verified as fact or fiction. Then, the government goes one step further and censors’ people for “Right-Wing” political views. After President Biden was inaugurated in January 2021, the government’s censorship regime ramped up.
The House Oversight Committee and Select Subcommittee obtained and revealed how Facebook changed its policies because of pressure from the Biden administration. Internal Facebook document showed that the Biden White House, in particular, wanted true information satire (jokes, memes, comics) censored at a rate even Big Tech found objectionable.
Further, there were many political hit pieces most likely planted by government operatives. This is the deep state at work. This tactic is known as the wrap-up smear – a deflection tactic whereby a smear is made-up and leaked to the press. The press then amplifies the smear and publishes it, which conveys legitimacy. Then another organization or author can use the press coverage of a smear as a validation to write a summary story which is the wrap-up smear. This ability to write hit pieces without being sued is predicated on the Supreme Court case known as Sullivan vs. the New York Times. Simply put, it is this court case that determined that people with a public image can almost never win a lawsuit for malicious defamation. The deep state and its media partners use this loophole to attack, malign, defame, harass, and engage in direct character assassination. This is evil.
Those who are writing and speaking about science and health policy have been in danger of being targeted by the US government as domestic terrorists for spreading “mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM). Once this type of technique for suppression of information is used and thereby legitimized, can the genie be put back in the bottle? This is another example of how typical bureaucratic incrementalism leads the US administrative state to engage in what are clearly unconstitutional actions.
The US government must be held accountable for their failed policies and authoritarian behavior during his pandemic. Scientists, the press, physicians, and, yes, laypeople must be able to speak and write freely. In this day and age, that means using the internet without censorship and without administrative state-promoted social media and search engine algorithm manipulations. There is no right answer for everyone regarding healthcare treatments, and the choice to take a vaccine is a personal one. As a people we can’t allow ourselves to be censored this way.
A NEW WAY TO FIGHT IN A WAR: CYBERWARFARE: The five domains of warfare are land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace. Cyberspace is a relative newcomer to the domains of warfare. Military theory now treats cyber as a place, not a mission. The core technical components of cyberspace are cyberwarfare and cyberattacks. Cyberwarfare is a component of fifth-generation warfare.
Tactics of Disinformation: Disinformation actors use a variety of tactics and techniques to execute information operations and spread disinformation narratives for a variety of reasons.
Tactics of Cyberstalking: Cyberstalking behaviors may include tracking down someone’s personal and private information and using the information to make their target afraid. Techniques include texting the victim hundreds of times a day to let them know you are watching them, “creeping” on their social media accounts to learn where they are so they can show up there uninvited or posting about them incessantly and without their permission. The common denominator is that the behavior of the aggressor makes the target extremely concerned for their personal safety and causes some form of distress, fears, or annoyance.
Tactics of Deepfakes: One new strategy that seems to be cropping up is the circulation of fake documents and videos. Deepfakes are here, and soon, we will not be able to tell the difference between audio, video, and images that are AI-generated versus the real thing. These come in many versions, and as usual, are designed to exploit human behavioral and psychological weakness and vulnerabilities. The ability to easily create deepfakes has reached those who are technically savvy. Advertisers are already pushing out deepfake spam videos as fast as their techs can make them. Soon everyone will be able to play the deepfake game, creating videos, images, and audio of all their favorite friends and enemies.
The truth is that our government has become a master at information control and propaganda as well as marketing through many contractual awardees – otherwise generally known as “beltway bandits.” We have a government who seeks to influence us on a daily basis. They also know how to use the tools of the internet to stop you from seeing and reading what they don’t want you to see.
CITIZEN JOURNALISM as DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY: What censorship and propaganda do is to delay or prevent development of innovative ideas and solutions to unmet needs. Political propaganda and censorship act as boundary conditions to the development of more optimal solutions to the problems with which politics is concerned. When a local or more global hegemonic power or cabal (such as the World Economic Forum, WHO, or United Nations) act via propaganda and censorship to restrict the free flow of ideas and innovation in order to maintain its dominance, this leads to a growing gap (disparity) between current and optimal solutions. This gap is the unmet need, the resolution of which is impeded by deployment of propaganda and censorship acting in service of a minority and against the interests or a majority of humankind.
Justification of the use of propaganda and censorship in order to sustain a hegemonic political/economic system that primarily benefits an oligarchy of one form or another (saving “democracy,” for example) represents immature, narcissistic, short-term thinking. This must be rejected if for no other reason than that it will delay the development of more effective solutions to current problems and will also strongly contribute to the development of future social and political revolutions resulting in the desperate adoption of unproved ideas and ideologies. People just need to stop believing that magically some uncorrupted government, social media, or organization will offer up the “truth.”
Citizen journalism is so threatening to the administrative state and globalist narrative control because it is completely decentralized. This is why we argue that citizen journalism is modern history’s most disruptive information technology. However, above and beyond the relatively straightforward task of cataloging and informing people of what is being done to them on a routine basis through alternative social channels, what may be even more effective is to enable the development of next-generation tools and capabilities designed to support and empower the global explosion of citizen journalism. If the general populace can learn to recognize advanced propaganda and mass-scale mind control technology as it is deployed, then people will be able to see through and consequently become much more resistant to these methods and technologies.
SINS OF INFORMATION WARFARE: This is not just an information war; it is a battle over what is right and good versus what is fundamentally evil. Our opponents clearly believe that the ends justify the means and that ethics, right and wrong – are completely situational and subject to the same logic widely accepted by the “Virtuals” caste; that there is no objective truth or reality, and reality and ethics are whatever one believes them to be. The ultimate derivative of the logic of “cultural relativity.” The logic from which springs the transsexual movement is denialism of the genetic/biological basis of gender. Our opponents in this information war, this war on truth and integrity, have no ethical guardrails. Ethics are entirely situational in their world. Furthermore, this has become about tribalism and the demonstration of tribal allegiance. It is not about me, you, medical freedom, or anything rational. This is about mass formation, or mass psychosis, of the formation of crowds, or whatever term you wish to apply to the phenomenon.
MASS FORMATION: Mass formation is, in essence, a kind of group hypnosis that destroys individuals’ ethical self-awareness and robs them of their ability to think critically. Mass formation within a population can happen suddenly. So, a “society saturated with individualism and rationalism suddenly tilts toward the radically opposite condition, toward radically irrational collectivism.”
Knowledge of the theory and practical implementation of mass formation psychology can and is being used by propagandists, governments, and the World Economic Forum to sway large groups of people to act to benefit the propagandists’ objectives.
Left unabated, a society under the spell of mass formation will support a totalitarian governance structure capable of otherwise unthinkable atrocities in order to maintain compliance. A note: mass formation is different from group think. There are easy ways to fix group think by just bringing in dissenting voices and making sure you give them platforms. It isn’t so easy with mass formation. Even when the narrative falls apart, cracks in the strategy clearly aren’t solving the issue, the hypnotized crowd can’t break free of the narrative. This is what appears to be happening now with COVID-19. The solution for those in control of the narrative is to produce bigger and bigger lies to prop up the solution. Those being controlled by mass formation no longer are able to use reason to break free of the group narrative.
OTHER EXAMPLES OF PSYOPS OPERATIONS: The World Economic Forum (WEF) is one of the key think-tanks and meeting places for the management of global capitalism and is arguably coherent enough to qualify as the leading global “deep state” organization. Under the leadership of Klaus Schwab, it has played an increasingly important role in coordinating the globalized hegemony of large pools of transnational capital and associated large corporations over western democracies during the last three decades. Many of its members were active in using COVID-19 to carry out a “Great Reset” to dispossess and implement digital tracking and control of people.
On May 1, 2024, the Committee on the Judiciary and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, US House of Representatives released an interim report titled The Censorship-Industrial Complex: How Top Biden White House Officials Coerced Bit Tech to Censor Americans. This report provides over eight hundred pages of detailed information documenting censorship advocacy transactions and iterations between the Biden administration and a variety of social media providers.
The report details the successful months-long campaign by the White House to coerce large companies, namely Meta (parent company of Facebook), Alphabet (parent company of YouTube), and Amazon, to censor books, videos, posts, and other content online. By the end of 2021, Facebook, YouTube, and Amazon changed their content moderation policies in ways that were directly responsive to criticisms from the Biden administration. While the White House’s pressure campaign largely succeeded, its effects were devastating. By suppressing free speech and intentionally distorting public debate in the modern town square, ideas and policies were no longer fairly tested and debated on their merits. Instead, policymakers implemented a series of public health measures that proved to be disastrous for the country. From unnecessary extended school closures to unconstitutional vaccine mandates that forced workers to take a newly developed vaccine or risk losing their jobs, the Biden administration and other officials needlessly imposed harm and suffering on Americans across the country.
But the most important document to understanding the Biden White House’s censorship efforts have proven to be internal emails from the companies on the receiving end of White House threats and coercion. After issuing dozens of subpoenas to Big Tech, government agencies, and relevant third parties, the Committee on the Judiciary and Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government began to obtain tens of thousands of documents illustrating the details of the Biden White House’s pressure campaign. The conclusion: Big Tech changed their content moderation policies because of Biden White House pressure.
CENSORSHIP AND PROPAGANDA ARE DESTROYING “DEMOCRACY”: Back in 2016, we half-believed that the Steele Dossier was, for the most part, real. We believed this because we read that the FBI found compelling evidence that the Russians worked with the Trump organization. There were so many seemingly precise but faked details. Details upon details. After all, the government said that it was true. In fact, the FBI used the Steele Dossier to justify the wiretapping of Carter Page. They did this even though they knew it was fake, but that didn’t stop them from asserting otherwise to the public. Then the Mueller investigation implied more Russian disinformation. We believed it – even though it seemed over-the-top crazy, because both the corporate media and our government institutions of power, what we now call the deep state as well as the administrative state, were telling Americans that it was all true. Boy, did we ever get it all wrong! In retrospect, we can’t believe how we fell for the deep state’s narrative. Back then, we thought we understood the government and civil service. We thought our government may be corrupt around the edges but that “we” were mostly the “good” guys. What we didn’t understand about psyops and propaganda back then could fill a book.
In May 2023, the American people had final confirmation from the Durham Report produced by special counsel John Durham, that it was likely the Clinton and the DNC who worked with the Russians to produce the Steele Dossier. We learned that the usual procedures that the FBI uses were discarded when investigating Hillary Clinton’s server mishaps, the Clinton Foundation, and the DNC, which paid for the Steele Dossier to be produced. We also learned that the FBI disregarded normal procedures when investigating Trump. In his case, they used biased informants, didn’t verify documents, and generally were out to get him. This means Trump wasn’t lying or being paranoid when he said the deep state was out to get him. They were and still are out to get him. He isn’t lying about that. The many court cases document that the deep and administrative state are most definitely out to get him. The Steele Dossier was bought and paid for by the deep state government operatives, and then the deep state also leaked the unsubstantiated Steele Dossier to the press. The press published it – as if the original source was from the government. The government then used the stories written in the press to assert the need for an investigation of Trump, based on the Steele Dossier. This was the classic wrap-up smear, and the mainstream media went right along with it. Source: PsyWar by Robert W. Malone, MD, MS and Jill G.
