'Mind Dominance’: The CCP’s Disinformation War on US Social Media
The Epoch Times ^ | 12/31/22 | Andrew Thornebrooke

Posted on 01/01/2023 3:22:17 PM PST by Uncle Miltie

As the PLA seeks to expand the reach of its influence operations around the world and to seize information dominance on the battlefield, it is researching and developing the next evolution of psychological warfare called cognitive domain operation[s] (CDO) that leverages subliminal messaging, deep fakes, overt propaganda, and public sentiment analysis,” the report stated.

The report describes CDO as “a more aggressive form of psychological warfare” intended to “affect a target’s cognition, decision making, and behavior.”

In short, CDO is the regime’s new methodology for breaking the will of an adversary, or else manipulating them into behaving in a manner more in accordance with the regime’s desires.

“The goal of CDO is to achieve what the PLA refers to as ‘mind dominance,’ defined as the use of propaganda as a weapon to influence public opinion to effect change in a nation’s social system, likely to create an environment favorable to China and reduce civilian and military resistance to PLA actions,” the report said.

“PLA articles on CDO state that seizing mind dominance in the cognitive domain and subduing the enemy without fighting is the highest realm of warfare.”

Has the CCP convinced you that Democrats are the primary enemy?

Don’t take your eyes off the ball, global communism (CCP, WEF) are the real evil.

I was astounded when I went to “Happy New Years” on twitter and it was loaded with Asian stuff. I had to scroll a lot to bypass their stuff.

They will use AI to help greatly. And the CIA will sponsor it.

We have a bunch of dictators over everything, and everyone.

That is a classic example of misdirection.

While it is true the global CCP is the "real evil", that doesn't mean the Dems are no evil at all.

Clearly the domestic agents of the real evil are those within our borders, those in our state and federal governments, in our communities and in our faces. That is where we fight the battle we must win.

Sounds like woke brainwashing.

Good to get this latest info on “Mind Dominance”, the latest Chi Com version of “Brainwashing.” While many of us are focusing on the Ukraine/Russia situation and have identified several hundred Putin/Russia trolls, it is important we remain aware of the Chinese danger in this regard.

China is by far the stronger enemy. I recently saw a disturbing article on how China has fortified and built small islands (like the Spratlies) in the South China Sea, far out in international waters. This has also upset various more southern Asian nations which consider those waters part of their sphere of influence. Also China has been making increasingly aggressive feints with air weapons toward and around Taiwan. The smartest person I know who thinks about these issues suspects warfare in around 2 years.

I think China will be at war with SOMEONE within two years; it has been building up to it for over thirty years.
