The following is an article by Jon Rappoport on how psy-ops work and how they are orchestrated in social engineering schemes and which I keep referencing here and there.
So here it is in its own thread:
The disaster of manufactured consent in the Matrix

In the Matrix, there is pressure to have people connect their realities to each other. Why? Because groups can thus be created.
Groups are easier to compromise than individuals.
We get the concept of hooked ideas. A hooked idea is one which will entice people to merge their realities into One. The hooked idea can be expressed as a slogan, a so-called meme, a principle. It is introduced by people who work psyops.
A psyop is a campaign to herd people into a place where their individual realities overlap.
For the propagandist, there is the eternal search for the good, better, and best hooking idea, the one that will
collect the greatest possible number of people under one roof.
This has nothing to do with true progress or honest intent.
It has everything to do with control.

This same retired propaganda operative, who goes by the pseudonym of Ellis Medavoy (I interview him 28 times in one section of my collection,
THE MATRIX REVEALED), explained this “psyop calculation”:
Quote:
“The target of a terrific psyop is yearning and longing. That’s what I looked for when I was working: what people long and yearn for. Something unformed and undefined but very powerful. That’s what I wanted to tap into.
“If I could tap into that, people would buy in and surrender a significant part of whatever their personal world looks like. Because they want to believe they’re coming together with like-minded others. They’ll also believe the path laid out for them is correct and proper and wonderful. This is really a fake religion we’re talking about.
“A fake religion. It’s really for children, and most people turn out to be children. Give them a group of high-minded ideas, and they’ll grab on and think everything they’ve done up to that moment is a prelude to THIS.
“We [operatives] are playing a symphony, you see, and once they listen to the prelude, they’re hooked. They stay. They long for the climax, which doesn’t exist; not the way they imagine it. To them it’s all about ‘arrival in the promised land,’ as if that’s some kind of gift that’s wrapped up under the tree, waiting to be opened.
“We give them a fake god, a dead-end god. If they were once burning with authentic faith, we derail that and take them to another place…”
[...]
This has less and less to do with personal reality.
Manufactured consent in the Matrix is a bit of a misnomer.
Manufactured consent IS the Matrix, at the most profound level.
[...]
A great deal of history of the human race, littered as it is with suffering and pain and war and hunger, was produced by competing psyops.
Each side was utterly convinced that its ideals were superior. What neither side realized was that everybody, on all sides, was accepting a psyop substitute of their own personal reality. That was the big switch.
[...]
You could accurately write, on many gravestones:
“I died for a psyop.”
[...]
Freedom? Democracy? The will of the people? A better future for all? Equality? Justice? These are merely concepts in search of ways to run psyops.
