"To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill." —Sun Tzu, 4th century B.C.
There was a time when the only person using the word "psyop" was your creepy uncle who worked midnights at the American Motors Corp. factory assembling Gremlins and spending his lunch hour reading Soldier of Fortune magazine. Today, we Americans have survived too many to list in just one article, so let's pick a few of the obvious and a couple most people don't even realize were silly mind tricks.
First, what is a psyop?
FACT-O-RAMA! A psyop is loosely defined as "techniques used by military and police forces to influence the beliefs, emotions, and behavior of citizens." Personally, I believe cops and the military aren't the only ones using these "techniques," and I will point that out later in the article.
Examples of psyops past
History shows us that smaller armies would light hundreds of campfires at night to trick their foes into believing they had a larger force. Fidel Castro allegedly marched the same 20 soldiers past New York Times reporter Herbert Matthews in 1957, convincing the writer that Castro had legions of warriors on his side.
The Army Air Force dropped leaflets on Japan in WWII, warning civilians of a single bomb that would turn their cities to dust.
Vlad the Impaler left a "forest of the impaled," 20,000 dead soldiers impaled on spears, and successfully scared off a much larger army.
Psyops work in wartime, frequently quite well, so why wouldn't political leaders use similar skullduggery to control their own people? They have, and We the People have frequently been the targets.
Systemic racism, white supremacy, and trans genocide
All we've heard about for the last 40 years is that we are "racist" if we dare criticize anyone of color for any reason, from criminals to the holy Barack Obama.

I didn't vote for Obama, not because he is black but because he was not only a political neophyte but also had extensive ties to the domestic terrorist and Pinko-American Bill Ayers.
I have since been called a racist for not only denying the existence of a nationwide scourge of phantom "white supremacy," but also for going so far as to point out that black folks in the U.S., outnumbered by white people five-to-one, murder more than twice as many white people as whites kill black folks.
Renowned "Squad" apparatchik Rep. Ayanna Pressley (Derp - Mass.) recently went so far as to call the Walgreens chain "racist" for closing stores in black neighborhoods after years of rampant crime.
FACT-O-RAMA! "Progressive" government maneuvers, specifically "bail reform" and emptying jails, have resulted in far more black crime victims than expected. If Republicans had supported these same ideas, which have gutted black communities, they'd be accused of "systemic racism."
The humiliated former governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, decided bail laws were "racist," and commie politicians around the nation agreed. Then they decided that putting minority criminals in jail was a sign of "systemic racism." Emptying prisons and dashing bail laws resulted in a crime wave that affected mostly impoverished, black neighborhoods.
The Democrats' centuries-long history of American racism — slavery, Jim Crow, the KKK — can't be denied. But watching Joe Biden and both Clintons eulogize Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), a seething bigot, then convince their voters that conservatives are "racist" is nothing but an evil psyop that has thus far worked on generations of Americans.
Your liberal sister-in-law will screech that the Democrats and Republicans "switched sides" regarding racism, which is yet another psyop. Show zhim this video and watch zher shaved head explode.
Here is a list of almost 500 fake hate crimes that ordinary citizens cooked up to scare people into believing we are a nation of "systemic racism." This list is brimming with stories of people of color posing as klansmen, burning MLK's house, and drooling rednecks in MAGA caps attacking Jussie Smollett.
PSYOP-O-RAMA! Mere years ago, we were assured that trans people had to use women's restrooms due to rampant anti-trans bigotry. Today, the Ladies' room is a breeding ground for trans attacks on kids, and men in dresses dominate women's sports. P.S.: "Trans genocide" is a lie.
And now there is this:

PLAGUE-O-RAMA! On Feb. 14, 1349, the French town of Strasbourg was somehow convinced Jews were behind "the plague" that would kill roughly 60% of Europeans, despite a complete lack of proof (though under extreme torture, several Jewish men claimed Jews were poisoning wells) and a history of antisemitsm. Two thousand Jews were burned to death over the next few days, despite Strasbourg having no plague victims at that time. The town would be gutted by the "black death" shortly thereafter.
COVID-19 origins
Jeepers, where to begin?
Globalists like Klaus Schwab propagated the myth that COVID-19 started from a dude enjoying his bat soup. Today, even Tony Fauci agrees that COVID likely from a lab.
Our nation shuddered in fear and obeisantly began to swallow liberty-dashing codswallop, such fascist moves as forcing us to lock down at home, closing businesses, screaming at "granny killers" who refused to don masks Fauci face diapers, and commanding us to stand on stickers in the grocery store.
Australian cops pepper-sprayed rascally seniors who peacefully protested tyranny and choked out young girls who didn't wear masks.
Chicago Judge James A. Shapiro refused to allow a mother to see her child because the woman wouldn't get the vaccine. He would later reverse his tyrannical decision.
COVID unleashed a level of legal despotism this nation hasn't seen in decades.
Not everything is a psyop. I don't believe that Trump is "still" the president and is calling the shots from Mar-a-Lago. Nor do I believe that the freighter Evergreen, which was stuck in the Suez Canal back in 2021, was full of kids headed for a life of human trafficking.
I do believe that the jackpuddings who come up with "blue anon" conspiracy theories are the most repugnant people in the nation. But their work is easy as they are preaching to their venomous, harpy-like, Trump-hating choir, which has an insatiable taste for blatant lies that fuel their discord.
