  • The Occult History of the U.S. Military’s PSYOPS and its Highly Symbolic Recruitment Video
    by https://vigilantcitizen.com/
    A video produced by the 4th PSYOP hints at the various ways mass media is used to wage psychological warfare on the public. Here’s a look at this symbolic video and the strange (occult) history of PSYOPS.
    –
    The goal of PSYOP is, essentially, to mess with people’s minds. Appropriately enough, a recent recruitment video by the 4th PSYOP Group accomplished just that. Posted on the official social media accounts associated with the U.S. Military, the video titled Ghosts in the Machine gained some viral traction as viewers were impressed with the video’s production quality … while being baffled by its overarching message and symbolism.

    What does it all mean? To better understand this video, let’s look at the fascinating yet secretive world of PSYOPS.

    PSYOPS
    PSYOPS stands for “psychological operations”. It can be defined as:
    –
    “Planned psychological activities using methods of communications and other means directed to approved audiences in order to influence perceptions, attitudes, and behavior, affecting the achievement of political and military objectives”.
    –
    When books describe PSYOPS, they often refer to WWI-era strategies such as dropping leaflets from a plane to demoralize the enemy. That era is long gone. PSYOPS moved way beyond these primitive methods to adopt highly sophisticated techniques utilizing the latest technologies and the immense power of mass media. But that is not all. There was always a “magical”, supernatural element to PSYOPS.
    –
    These allusions to magic are not merely figurative. PSYOPS extensively researched occult and supernatural phenomenons such as ESP (extra-sensory perception) and remote viewing. This symbiotic relationship between PSYOPS and the occult is fully personified by an important yet controversial figure: Michael Aquino.

    Michael Aquino and MindWars
    Michael Aquino joined the U.S. Army in 1968 where he became an officer specializing in psychological warfare and, later, a Lieutenant colonel in military intelligence. As Aquino climbed the ranks of the U.S. military, he also climbed the ranks of another organization: The Church of Satan.
    –
    “Michael Aquino began corresponding with Anton LaVey while a psychological operative for the U.S. Army, stationed in the jungles of Vietnam. Aquino returned to the States and was soon made a high-ranking priest and editor of the church’s Cloven Hoof newsletter. His distinctive appearance — he sported a prominent widow’s peak and darkly accented eyebrows — was further enhanced by a small 666 tattooed on his scalp.”
