The human mind is now the primary focus of global military planners.
Nobody enjoys being manipulated. I have never met anyone who remarked, “I’m so glad people cleverer than I tricked me into doing what they wanted.” Yet we are all bombarded each day with messages from people and institutions vying to shape our thoughts and control our behaviors.
Television commercials push us to buy certain products. Politicians describe domestic and foreign threats in such ways that only they can provide necessary solutions. Religious leaders choose which doctrines of their faiths must be diligently observed and which ones can be casually overlooked. More open societies might be marketplaces for competing ideas, but the most effective salespeople within any society are the ones who know how to magnify their own messages while silencing others.
Given that this is the case, a society interested in protecting its people from manipulation would be highly invested in educating citizens from a young age how to use reason, rationality, and logic to filter truth from falsehood. Aside from a smattering of classical and religious schools that focus on how to assess information and judge its credibility, it is evident that Western educational systems have been designed with no such purpose in mind.

The U.S. Pentagon, the NATO military alliance, and Western espionage agencies spend a great deal of their resources influencing human minds. “Great,” you might say. “They should be actively shaping the opinions of civilians in adversarial nations.” Except I’m not talking about “winning the hearts and minds” of foreigners living under dangerous dictatorships. When I say that the military and Intelligence Community are currently fighting an undeclared war in what they call the “cognitive battlespace,” it is your mind that they are fighting to influence.

The propaganda has definitely increased in volume and in quantity. That seems to be the way under marxism. The citizens are livestock to be managed and culled by the “wise” farmer who jabs them with shots, shears them for profits and culls those who won’t stay inside the fence.
Once there were nothing but sex deviates, foul language, promotional memes for the Agenda, etc. in ALL the shows, I didn't see anything left for common sense viewing.
Worse, the phony commercials with the same type of sex promotion, inter-racial white women almost exclusively with black men, NO heterosexual white fathers shown, nearly-extinct white hetero males in commercials, etc., I couldn't stomach the Agenda-driven crap anymore.
There are no Ad Agencies that are ALLOWED to produce non-Agenda advertising, for fear of losing their banking support, being black-balled for non-approved REAL content, etc.
ANYONE who regularly watches TV anymore has already been indoctrinated in the public "school" systems, and/or public "colleges", to join the woke, DEI, CRT, etc. lifestyle and philosophy.
Article is spot on MC.
Arguably if you greatly diminish critical thinking in a population then they will welcome being told what to do, and how to think/not think. Ie, manipulated.
Also this phrase “Religious leaders choose which doctrines of their faiths must be diligently observed and which ones can be casually overlooked” is soooo true, even in the Christian faith.
Very good article. Thanks for posting. FOX news - “We report. You decide.” Reality - We DECIDE what to report so that you can decide. One way programming. No questions allowed. The rest of my response is under a “gag order” and “classified”.
I notice that having people of minority races shoved down my throat in ad after ad is really beginning to p!ss me off. I am developing a bad attitude toward the companies whose ads do that.

And to believe that 90% of the population is black, and/or homosexual, and that all white men are bumbling fools.
They Live.... a classic.
Scary but beautiful analogy there, MtnClimber: Under marxism, We The People are merely livestock to be managed and kept inside the fence around us.
I miss Mad magazine.
Of course, while it's not mass media like Mad magazine was, we do have Ben Garrison and his spectacular political GRRRaphics!
Hahahaha...”Spy Vs. Spy”!
Thanks for the ping...
