This appears to be a US Army recruitment video for the 4th Psychological Operations Group.  I wonder if it is real because its too blatant.  I think they are claiming responsibility for the Tienanmen Square pro democracy demonstrations in China and the fall of USSR.  They even had images of the Maidan revolution in Ukraine in 2014.  

They display the phrase  "WHO'S PULLING THE STRINGS?" and then the image changes and the word 'WHO' is still visible...

Would they really be that blatant?  Are they covering for the real PTB?

Quite amazing and hope it's true thanks for sharing.

Quite amazing and hope it's true thanks for sharing.

I found the video disconcerting and interpreted it differently than you. It seems to me that it promotes US Army as the psyops force that does the work of the PTB/New World Order/WEF...

I wonder how others on the forum interpreted it.

The 4th Psychological Operations Group (Airborne) (or 4th POG)(A) is one of the United States Army's active military information support operations units along with the 8th Psychological Operations Group (Airborne), which was activated 26 August 2011 at Fort Bragg. The 8th Group has responsibility for the 1st, 5th and 9th Psychological Operations battalions. The 4th Group has responsibility for the 3rd, 6th, 7th and 8th battalions, with a total of about 800 soldiers.[2]



On 21 June 2010, an announcement was made that the military intends to rename psychological operations, or PSYOP, to Military Information Support Operations. The decision, made a few days earlier by Admiral Eric Olson, Commander, United States Special Operations Command and Army's Chief of Staff General George Casey, was propagated through a memo dated 23 June 2010.[3] By October 2017, the U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) reverted its decision changing their name back to PSYOP stating, "Psychological operations refers to the name of units, while MISO refers to the function that soldiers in PSYOP units perform".[4]


The unit is based at Fort Bragg, North Carolina and is a part of the 1st Special Forces Command (Airborne), under the United States Army Special Operations Command. The 4th POG was constituted 7 November 1967 in the Regular Army as Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 4th Psychological Operations Group. Originally activated 1 December 1967 in Vietnam, it was inactivated 2 October 1971 at Fort Lewis, Washington, and reactivated 13 September 1972 at Fort Bragg. [5]

• This Unsettling Army Recruitment Video Is A Master Class In Psychological Warfare

The must watch video:

Kudos to 4th PSYOP Group. Whenever anyone asks me what is PSYOP I will be showing this video from now on. This is very well done though I know it will generate a lot of controversy. This illustrates irregular war thinking* better than anything else I have seen in recent years. I will be linking this video in every future paper I write on irregular, unconventional, and political warfare.

“Irregular Warfare Thinking”*

Because IW is the dominant form of war in the emergent human domain.

We need to infuse “irregular warfare thinking”* into DOD and “political warfare thinking” into the US government.

*What is “Irregular warfare thinking?” It is thinking about the human element in the full spectrum of competition and conflict up to and including conventional and nuclear war. It includes but is not limited to all aspects of lawlessness, subversion, insurgency, terrorism, political resistance, non-violent resistance, political violence, urban operations, stability operations, post-conflict operations, cyber operations, operations in the information environment (e.g., strategic influence through information advantage, information and influence activities, public diplomacy, psychological operations, military information support operations, public affairs), working through, with and by indigenous forces and populations, irregular warfare, political warfare, economic warfare, alliances, diplomacy, and statecraft in all regions of the world.

Irregular warfare is the military contribution to political warfare. Political warfare is the action of the whole of government in strategic competition.

A new and somewhat unnerving recruiting pitch from the Army’s 4th Psychological Operations Group asks viewers one simple question: “Have you ever wondered who’s pulling the strings?”



The three-and-a-half minute, movie trailer-esque video was released by the 4th PSYOP Group on Youtube on May 2. Since then it’s brought in almost 250,000 views, and it’s not hard to see why: This is not your father’s recruiting commercial.

Complete with eerie whistling in the background and suspenseful music, the video is far from the sometimes-cheesy Army recruiting commercials we often see on television. It’s dark and palpably tense, the clips of old cartoons and radio segments from world events combining perfectly to create something that is both intriguing and unsettling.

It accomplishes exactly what psychological operations soldiers set out to do: Influence an audience. As one commenter on Youtube pointed out: “Everything is a weapon. Even this video.”

Col. Chris Stangle, commander of 4th PSYOP Group, told Task & Purpose on Friday that the video was created in-house, both as a recruitment effort but also to literally show people what they can do — part of psychological operations is creating persuasive media. Stangle said that the artist behind the video tailored it a bit after iconic horror film JAWS, where the filmmakers showed restraint in actually showing the shark. Instead, viewers knew it was lurking just below the surface.

“Drawing on this approach, we kind of sought to create a piece that doesn’t show what a PSYOP soldier does necessarily, because it’s so complicated and there’s so much about it — quite honestly. It’s just not incredibly sexy — but what it feels like to do our craft when we’re successful,” Stangle said. “And we think that kind of allows the audience to immerse into what our world is, and what our craft is.”

Psychological operations, or PSYOP, is all about influencing governments, people of power, and everyday citizens. The Army’s website explaining the field says PSYOP soldiers’ key missions are to influence “emotions, notices, reasoning, and behavior of foreign governments and citizens,” “deliberately deceive” enemy forces, advise governments, and provide communications for disaster relief and rescue efforts. It’s a small, niche community; Stangle said there are only around 1,000 active duty PSYOP soldiers.

As part of the special operations community, PSYOP soldiers are described as “adaptive thinkers” who have language and cultural expertise, specialize in deception and cyber warfare, and work in small teams to “persuade and influence” populations in support of the U.S. military. And, much like other members of the special operations community, the qualification course is lengthy and demanding.

The course, which Stangle said was recently extended to 56 weeks total, is broken up into five phases. It includes a five-week prep and conditioning course, Stangle said, followed by a PSYOP assessment selection that runs for roughly two weeks, though he said they never give a determined end-date as part of an additional mental aspect to the training. After that, soldiers go through a two-week orientation course about Army special operations, a 10-week PSYOP qualification course during which they learn the fundamentals of psychological operations and behavioral theories, and a 16-24 week language course.

Throughout the world, Stangle said, psychological operations are occurring “literally everywhere, every day, in every component of our lives.” We’re seeing it play out in real-time in eastern Europe, where Ukraine is proving much more successful in the information war than the Russians.

(Joe Klamar/AFP via Getty Images) That’s no coincidence. Stangle said after the annexation of Crimea in 2014, the U.S. PSYOP community, along with other NATO allies and special operations communities around the world, got to work helping Ukraine build their own abilities.

“We’ve helped them build their PSYOP force,” Stangle said. “We’ve helped through [military-to-military] partnerships, us as well as more than 12 allies and partners. And what we’ve been able to do is just sit and watch how amazing their arguments are … Ukraine has done a masterful job, they’ve taken the training and the work we’ve done with them, as well as their own inherent skill, and have just really blown it up.”

As for the video, Stangle said they’ve seen an increase in activity on their social media, with some accounts doubling in followers. The response has been positive not just from civilians watching it, but for soldiers in the field. They finally feel like someone is really telling their story, Stangle said, which isn’t typically the case.

The point of psychological operations is that it’s happening behind the scenes. When it’s successful, no one talks about it. The Army doesn’t “necessarily want people to know that we were involved,” Stangle said, especially considering the places they’re often working in.

“We’re overcoming a lot every day against our adversaries as they operate,” he said. “And knowing that you could be ostracized … and in many cases where we put folks, death, and kind of living in this eternal purgatory of lost souls. It exists, that’s where we are. I don’t want to put too fine a point on it but we operate in difficult conditions on a routine basis.”

That won’t be changing anytime soon. Army PSYOP soldiers are working daily with over 40 countries around the globe, according to Stangle. And those partnerships will be critical to success both in preventing future conflicts, and in future conflicts as they unfold.

As the video says: “Warfare is evolving, and all the world’s a stage.”

• Journal of "Asymmetric Warfare" May 2018 ... quote:

"Klaus Schwab, executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, coined the term “fourth industrial revolution” for “the staggering confluence of emerging technology breakthroughs, covering wide-ranging fields such as artificial intelligence (A.I.), robotics, the internet of things (IoT), autonomous vehicles, printing, nanotechnology, biotechnology, materials science, energy storage and quantum computing, to name a few.” This revolution will drive massive changes across society to include all forms of conflict.

It is essential to remember even these massive, rapid technological changes will not change the fact that Clausewitz’s primary trinity of passion, chance, and reason will continue to define the fundamental nature of war. Nor will technology eliminate fog and friction. However, these technologies will provide small states and even non-state actors with capabilities that used to be reserved for major powers.

This article will focus on four technologies that will have maximum impact in the near term. Nano-energetics, AI, and three-dimensional (3D) printing integrated into drones are already producing a revolution of small, smart, and cheap weapons that will redefine the battlefield.

The primary immediate impact of nano-technology is the vast improvement in explosive power to weight ratio. As early as 2002, nano-explosives generated twice the power of conventional explosives.

By 2014, open-source literature claimed nano-aluminum created ultra-high burn rates, which give nano-explosives four to ten times the power of TNT. The obvious result is that small platforms will carry great destructive power.

Task-specific A.I. is the second technology that will greatly augment the power of drones.

To date, drones have been very useful but have required extensive numbers of personnel to operate them effectively. Task-specific A.I. has advanced to the point a drone can be instructed to fly to a specified location and then commence searching for a designated target. Cheap sensors mean inexpensive drones can search in the visual light spectrum.

Additional investment allows infrared and electromagnetic spectrums to locate a target. In short, autonomous operation is not only doable but inevitable. It is available in basic form today.

These two technologies provide the small and smart aspects of the revolution. Three-dimensional manufacturing will provide the cheap and many. The 3D industry has developed the advanced Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) process, which could allow a single printer to produce up to one hundred small drones in a single day. Thus, a moderately sized plant of one hundred printers, such as the United Parcel Services (UPS) plant in Tennessee, could produce 10,000 cheap drone bodies per day. UPS plans to expand the plant to one thousand printers and open multiple plants globally. Dr. Joseph DeSimone, one of the inventors of DLS, is working to increase the speed of the printers by a factor of ten with obvious implications. Thus, production of hundreds of thousands of drones is feasible.

Current technology can produce very large numbers of drones, but is it possible to position and launch them? The answer is yes—and systems are getting better rapidly. China already fields Harpy drones in eighteen drone launchers that mount on a single five-ton truck, as well as a smaller six drone launcher.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is continuing the development of the Navy LOCUST system that launches drones from a multiple-rocket launcher-like system.

The Russians are selling a wide variety of weapons that are built into standard twenty-foot shipping containers.

It is a relative short step to begin building multiple launchers for inexpensive, autonomous, deadly drones into standard twenty-foot containers. Using this approach, every truck that can carry a twenty-foot container, as well as every seagoing vessel, to include fishing boats, is a potential weapons platform. Also, drones could be built into smaller launchers that fit in pickup trucks or even vans". unquote

ZeroHedge reposted an analysis of the recruitment video. Here is a paragraph from the article below that summarizes the message...

To realize the importance of psychological operations such as Ghosts in the Machine, one needs to look beyond its visage of cinematic splendor and intentional creepiness, and penetrate to the threat that the video is working against.

According to innumerable reports from the nation’s think tanks and institutions of higher learning, the United States is in a war, though its leadership seems largely unaware of it. It is a war without conventional weapons, but that is nevertheless being fought in hearts and minds everywhere. Indeed, it is a war on the minds of Americans everywhere.

It is the psychological campaign of unrestricted hybrid warfare perpetrated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) with the purpose of eradicating the United States’ will to defend itself and preserve democratic values.

According to one report (pdf) published by the Washington-based think tank Hudson Institute earlier this month, this psychological warfare is one part of a suite of so-called cognitive operations used by China’s communist regime to undermine U.S. security.

"Anything We Touch Is A Weapon": New US PsyOps Recruitment Video Casts Spotlight On China Threat

The phrase “A threat rises in the east” is superimposed over rolling footage of Chinese and Russian military parades. Ethereal, eerie music plays as cinematic impressions of the Eurasian alliance between China and Russia are interspersed with images of the last century’s most emblematic struggles for democratic values.


The video "Ghosts in the Machine" by the U.S. Army's 4th Psyop Group displays an ominous warning about the threat from China and Russia. (Screenshot)
There is footage of the fall of the Berlin Wall, a free speech protest in Hong Kong, the toppling of a Saddam Hussein statue in Baghdad, and the resolute stand of Tiananmen Square’s “Tank Man.”

This is not some documentary about the myriad threats democracy has faced time and time again, but a new video created by the Army’s 4th Psychological Operations Group and shared on social media by U.S. Special Forces Command.

Equal parts recruiting video and actual psychological warfare, the project might best be described as a proof-of-concept for the military’s capability to build confidence at home and to instill fear abroad.



The video, aptly titled “Ghosts in the Machine,” opens with a quote from “The Art of War,” written by Chinese military philosopher Sun Tzu some 2,500 years ago:

“If your opponent is of a choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.”

At first glance, one might think that the quote suggests that the Chinese Communist Party has been pretending to be weak for years in order to lull the United States into a false sense of superiority. By the end of the three and a half minutes of growing unease, however, one wonders whether it has not been the other way around all along.

Indeed, that may be just the purpose of Ghost in the Machine. After all, the video itself is psychological warfare.

The Sugar-Coated Pill
To realize the importance of psychological operations such as Ghosts in the Machine, one needs to look beyond its visage of cinematic splendor and intentional creepiness, and penetrate to the threat that the video is working against.

According to innumerable reports from the nation’s think tanks and institutions of higher learning, the United States is in a war, though its leadership seems largely unaware of it. It is a war without conventional weapons, but that is nevertheless being fought in hearts and minds everywhere. Indeed, it is a war on the minds of Americans everywhere.

It is the psychological campaign of unrestricted hybrid warfare perpetrated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) with the purpose of eradicating the United States’ will to defend itself and preserve democratic values.

According to one report (pdf) published by the Washington-based think tank Hudson Institute earlier this month, this psychological warfare is one part of a suite of so-called cognitive operations used by China’s communist regime to undermine U.S. security.

“Cognitive operations involve using psychological warfare to shape or even control the enemy’s cognitive thinking and decision-making,” the report stated.

Indeed, the report quotes directly from the primary propaganda organ of the Chinese military, the PLA Daily, that the ultimate aim of cognitive operations is to “manipulate a country’s values, national spirit/ethos, ideologies, cultural traditions, historical beliefs, etc., to prompt them to abandon their theoretical understanding, social system and development path, and achieve strategic goals without victory.”

In not so many words, it is a military campaign against the United States to convince Americans to give up their society without fighting.

It is, according to a report by the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (pdf), a “long-standing Chinese government strategy to exploit foreign media to deliver Chinese propaganda.” The goal of which is to destabilize and otherwise interfere in the political processes of the United States by offering a “sugar-coated pill,” something easy to swallow but lethal to consume, often in the form of anti-American propaganda disguised as domestic information and reproduced online.

“According to the PLA, China is already in constant battle over the narrative of China’s rise and the PLA’s intentions with other nations, both inside and outside of China, and, most prominently, against the United States,” the report said, referring to the acronym for the People’s Liberation Army, the official name of the regime’s military.

The roots of the CCP’s psychological warfare go deep, and their tendrils can be seen crawling rampant across Western media in the form of Twitter bots, sponsored newspaper articles, and state-sponsored misinformation. And the onslaught has been going on for decades.

Unrestricted Warfare
The CCP’s current efforts can be traced back to the 1999 book “Unrestricted Warfare.” Written by two retired PLA colonels, the book described the strategy and operations through which China could overcome the United States—without being embroiled in kinetic warfare.

Unrestricted Warfare argued that the United States’ weakness was the widespread belief among American military and political leadership that military dominance was solely dependent on technological means, rather than legal, economic, or social factors.

The book, therefore, advocated the use of lawfare, economic warfare, terrorism, and data and supply chain network disruption as various means of undermining the U.S. military.

Much of the book’s proposed strategy was later codified as the “Three Warfares Strategy” in a 2003 document published by the PLA and titled “Political Work Guidelines of the People’s Liberation Army.”

Since then, the CCP has worked tirelessly to adapt the Three Warfares Strategy to the social media era, using social networking platforms as tools of war to combat the minds of the party’s enemies. Moreover, the introduction of Three Warfares has helped to underscore the promulgation of military-civil fusion, a CCP strategy that seeks to erode any boundary between civilian and military spheres, thus accelerating the erosion of distinctions between war and peace.

To that end, it is vital to understand that the PLA is not a military of the Chinese state, but a wing of the Chinese Communist Party. Thus, the entire military apparatus of China is designed to defend and promote communism first and foremost.

Party Above All
How the Chinese military serves the whims of the CCP rather than the interests of the Chinese people was elucidated by retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Robert Spalding during an interview with EpochTV’s “China Insider” on May 12.

“The People’s Liberation Army is the armed wing of the Chinese Communist Party,” Spalding said. “In the West, we consider the military to be a protector of the state, which in a democracy includes the people. In China’s case, the People’s Liberation Army is actually a party army, so it protects the party’s prerogatives.”

“Unlike a national army dedicated to the defense of a state and its people, the Chinese military’s purpose is to create political power for the party.”

According to a report (pdf) by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, U.S. leadership believed for years that the CCP’s psychological warfare efforts were a thing of the past.

Such beliefs were proven wrong, however, with the rise of CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping in 2012, whose rule has overseen a resurgence of party initiatives pushing psychological operations as a core part of Chinese national strategy.

Xi has referred to the work of organizations that engage in psychological operations for the CCP as China’s “magic weapons.” Those organizations include, most predominantly, the General Political Department within the PLA and the United Front Work Department, the latter of which is charged with overseeing the regime’s overseas influence operations and answers directly to the CCP’s Central Committee.

Indeed, since the ascension of Xi, Chinese state-run news agency Xinhua has gone so far as to explicitly characterize the PLA’s psychological warfare and political work as “thoroughly implement[ing] Xi Jinping’s thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.”

Importantly, according to the Johns Hopkins report, the CCP’s psychological warfare units under Xi have sought to leverage social media as a key component of “cognitive domain operations” in order to scale Chinese propaganda to a global audience, and to sway, anger, and misinform the citizens of foreign nations to the benefit of the party.

“China uses the tools of information and finance to advance political warfare on a global scale,” Spalding said.

“It’s a type of warfare that is completely alien to the way that we think of warfare.”

Thus, while U.S. military leaders and members of Congress have harped on budget proposals and the number of ships being built for the Navy, the CCP has already committed itself to winning a war without firing a shot.

Brave New World
At the heart of the CCP’s efforts to assault the minds of the American public, then, is the critical ability of social media and related technologies to create content that can have a real-world effect.

“[T]he PLA is developing technologies for subliminal messaging, deep fakes, overt propaganda, and public sentiment analysis on Facebook, Twitter, LINE, and other platforms,” according to a report by the RAND Corporation (pdf).

“Other articles also suggest that the PLA could blackmail or tarnish the reputation of politicians as well as co-opt individual influential civilian social media users to extend the reach of Chinese propaganda while obfuscating its Party origins.”

It is through this “hostile social manipulation on foreign platforms” that the CCP can essentially launder state-backed propaganda through proxy channels in the way a mobster might launder ill-gotten gains through a front organization. By obfuscating the origin of social media posts and using technologies such as deep fakes, the party can more effectively diminish American confidence in the United States’ ability and worthiness.

“What they’ve been able to do is use proxies in the West to have the same control over the narrative in the West that they have within China,” Spalding said.

“We have no institution in the West that is tasked with understanding this form of warfare.”

Spalding’s comments were in line with recent remarks made by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who said that the CCP was exploiting the United States’ free and open information channels and social media networks to promote authoritarianism abroad and strike at the heart of American democracy.

Ghosts in the Machine
The sudden appearance of a recruitment video for psychological warfare units in the U.S. military is perhaps not such a mystery, given the battles being waged against the American mind.

The primary objective of the CCP’s efforts is to create doubt, fear, and exhaustion to such an extent that American leadership will make mistakes in planning and executing strategy. Likewise, the U.S. Army’s “Ghosts in the Machine” video lifts the mirror at the effort.

“Anything we touch is a weapon,” the video says, before flashing the motto of the 4th Psychological Operations Group, “Verbum Vincet”—”the word will conquer.”

The message is clear enough, China’s transnational campaign of repression and psychological terror is not without recourse. The psychological warfare apparatus of the American military and intelligence communities have changed history before and can do it again.

It is surely not by accident that images of the famous Tiananmen Square protests were interlaced with videos of pro-democracy revolutions, or that footage of the PLA marching was juxtaposed with the fall of the Soviet Union.

The United States has toppled great powers from within and from without, the video implies, and can do so again.

As the video so abruptly states, “We are everywhere.”

Verbum Vincet, which you could take as being 'Victory through language' = The Information War writ large! It is an ancient wisdom, is it not, that true victory can only be attained if you win the hearts & minds of your people, victory via Arms or force can only get you so far, if you win peoples love/intellectual acceptance you have the lot!

While this thread was created in the NWO folder, I consider it possible if not probable that this effort is really pro-US sovereignty rather than pro NWO Globalism.

As the ZH article indicates - China and the Globalists have been operating to destabilize and destroy the US for some time now, and have had a lot of success.

My hope is that some in the military are actively counteracting that, as Patel Patriot writes in

Taking a psychological survey of humanity what do we see? We see many people awake, and questioning the popular narrative. We are seeing a massive shift of power away from the government and to the people. That shift is to the detriment of the elites and the benefit of the people. I see 4th PSYOP involved in this. I see them telling us that they are influencing events. You see further evidence of this in the video;
