RE: The Role of PSYOPS in Unconventional Warfare - The Case of Syria | DD7 | Wikileaks Archive

in #deepdives6 years ago

It's always great to point to actual facts, that can be found by anyone by digging a little into official documentation that literally shows the agenda's in plain sight. This is why the tag of 'conspiracy theorist' is such an effective PSYOP term in itself.

So many of these conflicts are also portrayed with another extremely effective PSYOP term in 'civil war'. It indicates an internal struggle where the overwhelming majority of the populace are 'anti-regime', which allows an outside force to garner support for overthrowing a sitting government through incessant propaganda, whilst also portraying themselves as a neutral and peaceful humanitarian force only interested in saving the country from an evil dictator.

Sort:  

If you have time to read the PSYOP chapter on the Special Forces manual, it's worth it. It's striking how many components of UW strategy are part of the current geopolitical conflicts, especially in the middle east.

The White Helmets template is starting to appear in other countries around the globe as well. Which is quite worrisome.

I totally agree with you on the use of the term 'civil war'. There may have been internal political strife due to food shortages in 2010-2011 but it's been completely hijacked by external powers to wage a proxy war and eliminate another secular government in the middle east (Iraq/Libya) and gain control of the countries natural resources.

Ironically it's not even really Assad whose the evil dictator when it comes to Syria. It's actually Putin. If Syria hadn't chose Putin's backing in building a natural gas line pipe he wouldn't have found himself in this position. With Putin's stake in the gas line he'd been able to control Europe's supply of natural gas from all angles.
