The Obama administration used psychological warfare methods against the American public that it would not permit the military to use against the enemy. I was a PSYOP trainer for the Army Special Operations Forces and developed methods straight out of Richard H Thaler, which the Justice Department was using at the time to change public attitudes at home. I wasn’t permitted to teach those same methods as PSYOP. The Obama Justice Dept used psychological manipulation techniques developed by Richard H Thaler & others to manipulate public attitudes and behavior. As an instructor for Army SOF, I tried to adapt those techniques for PSYOP purposes against jihadists, but leadership forbade it. Lowell Ponte & Craig Smith described the “priming” PSYOP strategy that the previous admin used on the US public: "subtly programming the mind with trigger words, concepts, images and cues that can move a person towards a particular response and decision."

I always turned off the tv whenever Obama was speaking. Never could explain why but the closest thing was that it felt like his vocalization was attempted brainwashing.

I'm sure it was much wider than just his speeches and continues today with remnants of his administration.

So flashing an OK sign is a "dog-whistle" to "racists"....meanwhile the Obongo administration was using psychological warfare on US citizens...
Basically, example #435,744,315,447 of leftist projection.

Interesting. If you read the first article of the link below it will make you near crazy. Here's some info... "J. Michael Waller is a neoconservative academic and political commentator based at the Center for Security Policy, where he serves as vice president of information operations, and the Institute of World Politics (IWP), a rightist graduate school in Washington, D.C."
