They would have begun dancing to the tune and performing for their masters without any fancy psy ops stuff.

I feel that there would be a lot of soldiers who just wont stand for anything like a dictatorship forming, but who knows. |

But as with everything, the average American will just shrug their shoulders and brush it off and go back to texting and TV. I never even bother telling anyone I know anything anylonger. Its completely and utterly useless. TPTB's dumbing down plan these past decades worked better than even they could have imagined. And I beleive that TPTB will have to go to extreme measures to get the majority of people to protest let alone riot.

Just like the pair that refused their government's order and destroyed the plane rather than use it against their citizens. It's happening.

Just like the pair that refused their government's order and destroyed the plane rather than use it against their citizens. It's happening. I recommend a pin. The whistle-blowing soldier is a hero. This is called war against United States citizens. I hope Al Franken is pissed off and goes after the military leaders on this. The Pentagon has 5,200 people who should be charged with downloading child porn. The first Pentagon sentence recently occurred and the guy received 80 years. This tells me there are going to be a lot of plea deals for 5,200 Pentagon workers who will look nice in orange. Their sentences will be for much less time, and they will likely get more off their sentences if they reveal information on 9/11. The Pentagon owes us 2.3 trillion dollars. Rumsfeld said 9/11 was a "blessing in disguise" for Americans. General McChrystal and Admiral Mullen for that matter were insubordinate to Obama. Now a three star general is using psy-ops against Senators. Last Edited by humuhumunukuapuaa on 02/24/2011 08:10 PM Through honesty, we make peace. |
humuhumunukunukuapuaa User ID: 1270126 United States 02/24/2011 07:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.msnbc.msn.com] Quoting: SahasraraThe U.S. army reportedly deployed a specialized "psychological operations" team to help convince American legislators to boost funding and troop numbers for the war in Afghanistan. The operation was ordered by three-star general in charge of training Afghan troops Lt. Gen. William Caldwell, Rolling Stone Magazine reported in a story published late on Wednesday. An officer in charge of the unit objected when he was ordered to pressure the visiting senators and was harshly reprimanded by superiors, according to the magazine. "My job in psyops is to play with people's heads, to get the enemy to behave the way we want them to behave," the officer, Lt. Colonel Michael Holmes, told Rolling Stone. "I'm prohibited from doing that to our own people. When you ask me to try to use these skills on senators and congressman, you're crossing a line," he added. Among those targeted were senators John McCain, Joe Lieberman, Jack Reed, Al Franken and Carl Levin, as well as Representative Steve Israel of the House Appropriations Committee, the magazine said. The team also targeted Admiral Mike Mullen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. 'Inside their heads' According to Holmes, he and his four-man team arrived in Afghanistan at the end of 2009 in order to determine the effects of American propaganda on Afghans and the Taliban, the magazine reported. Soon, though, Caldwell ordered the unit to gather profiles of visiting dignitaries, including their likes and dislikes and "hot-button issues," the magazine reported. Holmes was asked how the general could secretly manipulate the lawmakers, Rolling Stone said. "How do we get these guys to give us more people?" Caldwell asked, according to the magazine. "What do I have to plant inside their heads?" U.S. law bars the military from using psyops on Americans, and every defense authorization bill explicitly prohibits the manipulation, the magazine reported. "Everyone in the psyops, intel ... knows you're not supposed to target Americans," a veteran member of similar team told Rolling Stone. "It's what you learn on day one." Through honesty, we make peace. |
