Psychological operations or PSYOPS are planned operations to convey
selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence
their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the
behavior of foreign governments, organizations, groups, and individuals.PSYOP is a component of information operations. PSYOP involves the careful creation and dissemination of a product
message. There are three types of propaganda that are used to create
these messages. They include White propaganda which is used in overt
operations and Gray and Black propaganda which are used in covert PSYOP.
White, Gray, and Black don't refer to the propaganda's content but
rather the methods used to carry out the operation. The official government stance while propagated through electronic and print media is "White" PsyOps, while the ambiguous source of a propaganda product is called "Gray" PsyOps . Clandestine propaganda product is the one known as the "Black" PsyOps.
Control, embedding and infiltration of electronic and print media is the most essential medium of conducting PSYOPS. PSYOPs convey messages via visual, audio, and audiovisual media. Military psychological operations, at the tactical level, are usually delivered by loudspeaker, and face to face communication. For more deliberate campaigns, they may use leaflets, radio or television. Strategic operations may use radio or television broadcasts, various publications, airdropped leaflets, or, as part of a covert operation, with material placed in foreign news media. Clandestine services are used by states to infiltrate the foreign and domestic media by hook or crook to obtain the desired results through their hired and controlled mouth pieces.
PSYOPS though a modern day terminology is historically dated back to prehistoric times. Although the intensity and effectiveness of these operations are most pertinent in the post World War I era with the advent of modern media mechanisms. In current times, PSYOPS and it's importance is of most critical nature specially employed at the highest levels of Statecraft and International Relations. PSYOPS through it's most lethal weapon the Global Corporate Media is being utilized in shaping global public opinions and obtaining desired legitimate and illegitimate, both objectives by the World Powers. These PSYOPS controlling and diverting public opinions of the masses are used for at times strategical and other times for obtaining financial objectives. These Operations are also most effective in intimidating and at times isolating hostile states and institutions to those employing these PSYOPS.
The control of Global Corporate Media and it's affiliates is critical for launching and directing effective PSYOPS. In modern history the USA is the most successful World Power employing and benefiting from the phenomenon of PSYOPS till date. USA government has commissioned the most elaborate multilayer ed and deeply ingress ed PSYOPS institutions backed by billion dollar budgets and under cover assets in the Global Corporate Media to include foreign functionaries around the world. Top Media Brands to include , CNN, NPR, FOX NEWS and alike have been confirmed by the independent media to be infiltrated by the US PSYOPS units and likewise (National Public Radio reported on April 10, 2000:
The U.S. Army's Psychological Operations unit placed interns at CNN and NPR in 1998 and 1999). . UK, China and Russian governments are also following suits at their own turfs but to no match anyone is with the PSYOPS empire created and operated by the US PSYOPS units. Hollywood owing to it's global appeal is also no exception when it comes to the US PSYOPS.
It is also a recognized fact that all Gray and Black PSYOPS are owner less when the times comes for their independent scrutiny. This facet alone breaks any linkage of these types of PSYOPS with any moral values or related terminologies. Less White PSYOPS which is rare compared to the other two forms and the methods employed towards the end means and goals the linkage is less and less morally acceptable and more and more the devil's advocacy. Hence morality and PSYOPS have got no linkage at all in 99 times out of 100 with each other. The mere use of these operations most often used by the principal US tactics for obtaining objectives not logically convincing leaves a huge question mark for any argument supporting these PSYOPS to be justified on any moral grounds. Same goes for States around the globe mostly fooling their own domestic population to achieve vested interests while employing these PSYOPS. Deceit and Deception are the pillars of PSYOPS so no comparison with Morality of this basically a war operation is justified. Quoting Kipling who wisely says that "The first casualty of war is truth".
So if there is no morality related to PSYOPS than why is it the topic of this article? Simply because PSYOPS in these times are no more limited to battlefield or to obtain military objectives, but it is as of now being employed as a principal tool to achieve vested global economic and strategic goals by the US GLOBAL EMPIRE. It is also under use as a opinion control mechanism by most governments across the globe to gain political objectives. Global Corporates are also using this tool to gain financial benefits and making and shaping the economies around the globe. In a scenario as such the use of PSYOPS without morality is the biggest SATAN's TOOL by his minions. BEWARE....................
