To anyone @ #cnnindonesia responsible for writing the headline below regarding Iraqi's national team, have you guys ever heard that there is such thing as #PSYWAR???
That kinda compliment was not meant to be sincerely delivered. It was done to distract us from our actual purpose: winning against them next month 👀

"A Massachusetts-born immigration attorney was stunned after receiving an email from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ordering her to leave the country within seven days—even though she is a U.S. citizen.
Nicole Micheroni, a 40-year-old immigration lawyer from Newton, Massachusetts, has spent her career helping clients navigate deportation threats and immigration paperwork, as reported by NBC Boston. Due to her line of work, her name and contact information frequently appear on immigration forms.
(. . .)
'The language in the email is very threatening,' she told the outlet. 'And it looks kind of like a sketchy spam email. It doesn't look like an official government notice, but it is.'
Additionally, Micheroni shared her experience on social media, sparking widespread concern and debate. Her post has since garnered thousands of responses from across the globe, with many expressing alarm at how such a significant error could happen.
DHS responded by stating they are addressing these mistakes on a case-by-case basis, but critics argue that the incident points to deeper systemic carelessness."
PsyWar Enforcing the New World Order by Robert W. Malone, 2024
PsyWar: Enforcing the New World Order exposes the history and tactics of modern psychological warfare on the American people and offers a way forward for citizens to resist totalitarian control.
PsyWar is when a government coordinates and directs deployment of propaganda, censorship, and psychological operations (#psyops) tools in campaigns designed to manipulate public opinion.
For the past four decades, the U.S. Army has made repeated attempts to create an enduring doctrinal framework that describes the role of information in conflict, yet these attempts have been largely unsuccessful. What accounts for this struggle? More broadly, why do militaries choose one doctrinal concept over others, and what determines whether a new doctrine will succeed or fail? Building upon classic scholarship in military innovation, this paper traces the evolution of Army information doctrine to highlight the unique role of military sub-communities in determining whether changes to doctrine endure or are ultimately rejected. The structural reforms that were necessary to modify and elevate the role of information within Army doctrine ultimately came to handicap the Army’s ability to transform that role when the strategic environment demanded it. While strategic and technological conditions can create the necessary pretext for doctrinal change, there are important organizational determinants of doctrine that may operate independently of the demands of the overarching strategic environment and that can force difficult and suboptimal compromises with respect to the final product.
Jill Lepore on the link between WWII Psychological Warfare and Mass Communications
A lot of [psychologists] worked both in the study of voting behaviour in the US and in the study of propaganda in third-world countries trying to prevent them from becomming Communist.
Those things are closely related. They’re both the study of how you get inside someone’s head and change their mind? You have to know what they’re thinking, what you want them to think, and then you have to figure out what message will move them from what they’re thinking now to what you want them to think. This used to be called “psychological warfare”, and after the 2nd World War people were like, we shouldn’t call it that any more, we’ll call it “the study of mass communications”.
