[Cannoneer No. 4]

Americans have been subjected to some of the most effective propaganda ever employed in the history of warfare, promulgated by American Fifth Columnists in the main stream media who share several goals with the jihadis, specifically regime change in America and a desire to see American power in the world reduced.

Terrorism is just a tactic, a tactic which is effective only upon those personally affected by the terrorist act, UNLESS that act is reported and magnified and discussed and fretted about and forced into the conciousness of millions of people thousands of miles away from the scene of the act. Terrorism depends upon the media for its effectiveness.

Propaganda is a component of psychological operations, which fall under the umbrella of information operations. Counter propaganda is a tactical psyops mission to protect the troops from the effects of enemy propaganda, but strategic counter propaganda to mitigate the effects of enemy propaganda on domestic target audiences is against the law. Our military psychological operators can't help us. The success of the enemy's partial regime change last November means the law will not be changed soon.

Who does strategic counter propaganda for American target audiences?

We do.

You have it exactly right. D*mn you should have a job state side working the legal Civ angle of the information component of this WOT.

You understand it completely and clearly. Way too many don't. Especially those in positions of "potential" influence on the matter (if only they understood).

It's funny that the US media considers itself neutral at best. But if you want to win, by definition you cannot be neutral.
