Is this legit? Regarding Virus and Psychological Operations

TextPsychological Operations Leveraged Against US, Allies Amid COVID-19 Pandemic
Counterterrorism, International
Several near-peer competitor countries are leveraging the COVID-19 pandemic to conduct psychological operations against Western nations to undermine US and European credibility both domestically and globally. Near-peer countries in the Great Power Competition, including China and Russia, are attempting to sow anti-US sentiments using disinformation via different mediums to alter the views of international governments and individuals. Psychological operations target audiences with selective information to influence their emotions and objective reasoning

I accidentally found this web page. It says Homeland Security State of NJ. I was searching for something and worded it wrong and the top page caught my eye. I clicked on it. The above caught my eye

Has anyone else ever heard the expression "if you want to know what a narcissist is up to look what he is accusing others of doing? Just a thought that went through my mind as I read over the page. If you read up on Psychological warfare I think we can check almost every box off as citizens. I believe we are the enemy and we are being F'ed with. Next is survival for food and shelter. Throw in some floods, earthquakes and fires for more fear from mother nature on top of the virus and the constant confusion caused by continuously changing the goal post, keep everyone so off balance they look to the government for survival. SMH. All I can say is well played.

My new saying is....When the fear of death- takes away your flow for life -What are you living for? Seriously, when the fear of death stops you from living a normal everyday life what is the point? We are all gonna die. One day. In one way or another. What is everyone so afraid of? Honestly, If this is the new world we are going to have to live in, food becomes scarce, people fear each other getting to close to them, masks, can't socialize or go out to functions, I would rather die from a virus then from starvation. Mother nature will clear what needs to be cleared in what every way she chooses. Virus or weather that takes out communities, this world will survive and we will one day die just because it's part of the life cycle. Except it and live your life fearlessly. Maybe, when you die, you actually wake up. Maybe this is the dream. Just maybe it is.

My Psych ops manual is by Col Goldstein and Col FIndley... yes.. fear is interesting. Its purely academic study, of course.

We are developing into a culture of fear and that is EASY to do in a lesser educated society. We have become a lesser or lowly educated society. People are told to care about meaningless things and glorify hollow ideals. Then when the poo hits the fan.. like a normal tihng such as a pandemic ( and it is a NORMAL thing that happens) then they become bots/slaves/predictable/useful. Fear of the unknown is mans largest fault. Animals dont have this. Thats why man is uniquely suited to exploitation. Lower educated people cant find food without a McDonalds. Cant suss out medical strategies without a Dr feeding them info and going to the ER for a hangnail. Etc.. preaching to the choir on that stuff, but you get what I mean. They are totally ignorant ( not stupid) concerning history and cant apply lessons long ago learned and common because they have NO idea concerning them. Add to that an addiction to a 24/7 doom porn feed and you have great opportunities for those who would exploit them.

“ When the fear of death- takes away your flow for life -What are you living for? ”

Amen brother!

If you want to undermine the credibility of the US and Europe, there is no need to use disinformation. The truth will do nicely. That's why people like Edward Snowden are criminals.

Maybe the virus was sent by nature to kill all the extrovert humans to save itself.


We haven't gotten that far yet. I can still call up friends and safely hang out with them.
If not for the fact that I live with a very high risk person I would be hanging out with others that wanted to risk it.

Someone should make a tinder for mask and non mask met ups.
I'm serious.

Exactly what I've been saying but no one wants to hear it.

For crying out loud, things have changed.

Things always change, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot.

Occasionally they change a freaking whole lot!

So things are very different now, get over it, move on.

If you are not yet dead, try to avoid getting killed.


ADAPT!

That’s what humans do.

That’s what humans have always done!

a reply to: Bhadhidar

This is more than adapting or changing.
Generations life ways have been KO'd in one fell swoop.

Currently we're going to have several generations of kids dumber/more ignorant than even open classrooms an new math could achieve. Our kids & grandkids are probably never going to know what a regular ( previous) school is like.

Kids are going to grow up with a different set of clues in interpersonal relationships because of masks.
They'll be looking for eye crinkles instead of smiles or frowns.

Call me crazy, but I was worried about the changes in 2010 when we went most of a year under hazy clouds an there was no way to convince the grandkid the sky normally appears blue. How would they know? They never ever saw it as a more than a light gray.

There are tons of examples when you dig into it.

Honestly, how much of a psy-op is this for those countries that have gotten on top of the epidemic?

Perhaps if the US had actually taken a few precautions and done what had to be done, like other countries, the whole COVID-19 bit would be done and dusted?

With no psy-op even possible.

By that, I take it that you mean a unified national response/policy.

I'm not sure we would be done and dusted, but things would probably be better than they are if that were the case.

Well, even here in NZ, we are still getting new cases, but so far they have all been in managed isolation, about one or two a week, and no deaths for the last months.

COVID-19 - current cases - New Zealand Ministry of Health

The average New Zealander is really hardly threatened by COVID-19 and so there are other things that have our attention.

Still, getting back to the topic, how would someone conduct a psy-op in that situation?

Hey now... dont hate on extroverts. Just cause some laughed at you and dumped pigs blood on your head at prom doesnt mean you have to hate us all.

The average person is not threatened at all by the wuflu

How many deaths worldwide now? Fifty million? Sixty million?

Pffft. Gimme a break.
Shut down the world’s economy for an innocuous non-threat.

Or do some people actually think this should have been done with the bird flu and swine flu as well?

Catch the wuflu or don’t catch the wuflu, your life will be no different.

It’s so deadly that you do t even know you’ve had it unless you take a test. How terrifying.

a reply to: Breakthestreak

Come on. 50-60 million dead? The world death rate is just over 700k.

a reply to: ZeussusZ

Sure it is. Even those tiny numbers are grossly over exaggerated.

700 thousand, pffft. How is this virus even newsworthy?

Donald Trump is an expert at projection. But this time, I think he's projecting on China what he knows is also his fault. You see, I think think this virus didn't come from China initially, I think it came from North Korea. I think it's Lil Rocket Man's Christmas gift that Donald Trump accidentally triggered trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize for turning North Korea into a tourist destination.

North Korea is China's dirty little secret, so I'm not letting China off the hook with this, but I think Trump is culpable in the "attack". Trump called a bluff he couldn't meet, he bit off more than he could chew.

Russia and China would benefit by the people of the USA and the Western societies being in fear. Also, there are people in our societies that will see this as an oportunity to seize power from these countries....so Russia and China are just possibilities that might benefit. I think it is actually some group of Europeans and Americans that are doing this, they want complete control and want us as surfs without personal rights to challenge them. But there is a possibility that Russia and China are leading this, I could be wrong with my assumption.

I do not want to spend my life fearful or negative, I am getting old and am not going to spend the last years fearing death. My kids are kind of paranoid about this virus, they have been programmed to fear. I also am not stupid, this virus is easily transmitted, so I will wear the mask and do adequate social distancing....I also am going to stay far away from the hospitals and doctors because that is where sick people are. I hate being sick but also hate being fearful. I have stuff to do till the crazies in this society see that this is just another virus that makes people ill....the reason that they get real sick is because some meds interfere with our immune response and old people often lose their ability to fight off disease. That reduction in immunity with age is normal, many deaths of the old are because of a failing immune system.

This virus propaganda spread by the media is ficticious, people are distorting evidence to make it look worse too, remember, any disease in the summer when the temperature is over ninety degrees can add to the increase in a fever getting too high. Lots of old people die when it gets really hot too, covid is just something that causes the fever.

you poor thing, you can't make a post without Donald being in it. You are ate up with it. The sickness has a strong hold on you. I hope the election makes you better.

There is a lot of blame to go around. The original SARS virus was found in China in 2002. In 2005 Canada mapped it's genome and immediately many universities and research labs around the world did "gain of function" studies to make it infect every lab animal they could find, along with human tissues of course.

Much of this research was done in China, but the U.S., Canada and the Netherlands, among others were involved since it was discovered. All the major governments know about this, that's why there is a world wide panic, by adding portions of HIV to it's genetics, they basically created an air born version of AIDS, except this one carries a "one-two" punch. It attacks the human immune system and infects other tissues like the lungs, heart, kidneys and the nervous system at the same time.

How do you define psychological operations?

Pushing ones agenda despite the facts? Yale Uni has already hit these boards investigating just how exposed the population is to manipulation. The guilt trip being used on the vaccinations and masks is high. Maybe there is a place for them, but as the science gets knocked out by the finances I ain't buying it.

Common man...
