One Nation Under Psyops

The True Origins of the American Government Turning Against Its People OR Why It Truly Doesn’t Matter Which Puppet Occupies the White House

In 2015, declassified documents from the Reagan presidential library peeled back the curtain on a sinister psyops machinery that has been spinning an intricate web of lies for decades, ensnaring not only unsuspecting foreign populations but the very citizens it claims to serve.

At the helm of this apparatus was Walter Raymond Jr., a CIA operative so sly, so adept at lurking in the shadows, that even photographs from Reagan's tenure could scarcely capture his elusive presence. But make no mistake, this puppet master pulled the strings with calculated precision, orchestrating a vast network of interagency task forces dedicated to a singular goal: undermining adversaries abroad while quieting dissent at home through a relentless barrage of propaganda and psychological warfare.

Psyops, once a tool reserved for the battlefields, a means to sow terror and confusion among enemy ranks through blood-curdling deceptions like those employed by the infamous Edward Lansdale, soon found its way into the halls of power. The Reagan administration, with its boundless ambition and utter disregard for ethical constraints, realized the potential of these tactics in peacetime, setting its sights on the ultimate target: the American populace itself.

Imagine the audacity, the sheer cynicism, of an administration that would willingly sacrifice the trust of its own citizens in pursuit of unchallenged global dominance. This was no mere exercise in diplomacy or statecraft; it was a calculated campaign of mass deception, a concerted effort to manufacture an alternative reality that would ensure acquiescence to their policies, both at home and abroad.

And what were the methods employed in this grand charade? A veritable arsenal of psychological warfare, from the dissemination of disinformation and propaganda to the manipulation of cultural narratives and the exploitation of societal vulnerabilities. It was a masterclass in social engineering, a perverse distortion of the very principles of democracy and free speech.

The economic and political theories that once served as beacons of progress have been co-opted and twisted beyond recognition, their noble ideals perverted to serve the interests of a ruling class that thrives on ignorance and complacency. It is time to cast off these shackles of deception and embrace a new paradigm, one rooted in transparency, accountability, and a genuine commitment to the betterment of humanity.

We must confront this insidious machinery head-on, exposing its machinations to the disinfecting light of truth and reason. We must reject the narratives woven by these puppeteers and reclaim our agency, our ability to think critically and question the motives of those who claim to act in our best interests.

Let us not be lulled into complacency by the siren song of false promises and empty rhetoric. The path to true liberation lies in the relentless pursuit of truth, in the unwavering commitment to questioning authority and challenging the status quo.

Only then can we hope to dismantle the machinery of manipulation and reclaim our rightful place as free and independent thinkers, unbowed by the machinations of those who would seek to control us.

A PSY-OP TOTAL WAR

The orchestrators of this grand deception were not mere opportunists exploiting a fleeting moment of chaos; no, their ambitions were far more insidious, their vision more totalizing.

As Col. Alfred R. Paddock Jr. so chillingly articulated in his 1983 manifesto, “Military Psychological Operations and US Strategy,” the manipulation of hearts and minds was to become a ceaseless endeavor, a perpetual assault on our very capacity for independent thought.

“The planned use of communications to influence attitudes or behavior,” Paddock proclaimed with sinister clarity, “should, if properly used, precede, accompany, and follow all applications of force.”

In other words, the weapons of psychological warfare were to be deployed with ruthless efficiency, a constant barrage on our psyches, eroding our defenses and rendering us malleable to their nefarious agenda.

But Paddock's grand vision did not stop there. With a brazenness that defies comprehension, he declared the need for a “program of psychological operations as an integral part of our national security policies and programs.”

“Military psychological operations are an important part of the ‘PSYOP Totality,’ both in peace and war. … We need a program of psychological operations as an integral part of our national security policies and programs. … The continuity of a standing interagency board or committee to provide the necessary coordinating mechanism for development of a coherent, worldwide psychological operations strategy is badly needed.”

Can you fathom the audacity of such a proposition? To enshrine the very machinery of deception and manipulation as a cornerstone of our nation's security apparatus? It is a perversion of the highest order, a betrayal of the very principles upon which our democracy was founded. And yet, the architects of this grand illusion were undeterred, their hunger for control insatiable.

A nationwide “multi-media psyops” campaign was unleashed upon the unsuspecting populations of El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, and Peru. Through rallies and electronic media, a barrage of carefully crafted messages was disseminated, each one a calculated strike against the collective consciousness of these nations.

But the true depths of this depravity were plumbed with the implementation of President Reagan's National Security Decision Directive 130, a chilling edict that authorized the expansion of psychological operations beyond the realms of active military conflict and into the very heart of peacetime. No longer were these tactics confined to the battlefields; now, they were to be unleashed upon the civilian populace, a vile assault on the sanctity of our minds and the very notion of free will.

“This approval can provide the impetus to the rebuilding of a necessary strategic capability, focus attention on psychological operations as a national – not solely military – instrument, and ensure that psychological operations are fully coordinated with public diplomacy and other international information activities.”

The insatiable hunger for control that drove this administration knew no bounds, as evidenced by the creation of the ominously titled Psychological Operations Committee (POC). This nefarious cabal, chaired by a representative of Reagan's National Security Council and populated by agents from the Pentagon, the CIA, the State Department, and the U.S. Information Agency, was a veritable nexus of deception, a coordinated strike force dedicated to the erosion of truth and the manipulation of the masses.

As Col. Paddock, the very architect of this psyops machinery, so candidly admitted in a chilling 1986 memo, this group would be “responsible for planning, coordinating and implementing psychological operations activities in support of United States policies and interests relative to national security.”

Let us pause and deconstruct this Orwellian doublespeak, for within its insidious phrasing lies the true essence of their agenda.

“Planning, coordinating and implementing psychological operations activities" – a euphemistic veil draped over their true purpose: the systematic dissemination of lies, the calculated manipulation of narratives, and the relentless assault on our capacity for critical thought.

And all of this in service of what, you may ask? The pursuit of “United States policies and interests relative to national security”? A noble cause, one might think, until the veneer is stripped away to reveal the true nature of their endeavor.

For what constitutes the “interests” of a nation, if not the collective well-being and autonomy of its citizenry? And yet, this cabal of deceivers sought to undermine that very foundation, sacrificing the sanctity of truth and the inviolability of the human mind upon the altar of their own twisted ambitions.

Their notion of “national security” was not the safeguarding of the people, but rather the preservation of their own power and the perpetuation of their grand illusion.

“The committee will provide the focal point for interagency coordination of detailed contingency planning for the management of national information assets during war, and for the transition from peace to war. The POC shall seek to ensure that in wartime or during crises (which may be defined as periods of acute tension involving a threat to the lives of American citizens or the imminence of war between the U.S. and other nations), U.S. international information elements are ready to initiate special procedures to ensure policy consistency, timely response and rapid feedback from the intended audience.”

TAKING SHAPE

The malignant seeds of deception that had been so carefully sown now blossomed into a twisted reality, as the Psychological Operations Committee took its insidious form through a “secret” memo from Reagan's sinister National Security Advisor, John Poindexter.

Like a cancer metastasizing within the body politic, this cabal convened its first meeting on September 2nd, 1986, with an agenda that laid bare the true depths of their depravity. Central America, that long-suffering crucible of American interventionism, was to be the initial staging ground for their assault on truth and reason.

“How can other POC agencies support and complement DOD programs in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica and Panama,” they pondered, their words dripping with the hubris of those who believe themselves entitled to play puppet-master with the fates of entire nations.

But their ambitions knew no geographical bounds, for they were also tasked with the chilling directive of “Developing National PSYOPS Guidelines” for “formulating and implementing a national PSYOPS program.” A mandate so sweeping, so utterly devoid of moral constraint, that it should send shivers down the spine of every freedom-loving individual.
