CNN = Copy Normalize Nazi-tactic

CNN is playing an interesting role in undermining the incoming President of the United States, including promoting the now discredited document accusing Trump of being a Russian stooge and receiving deviant sexual services from prostitutes in Moscow.

The process CNN is engaged in one of many types of propaganda and behavior manipulation. CNN’s most recent action airs a Wolf Blitzer Situation Room story suggesting “DISASTER COULD PUT OBAMA CABINET MEMBER IN OFFICE.” 

The 3.28 minute segment on CNN prominently displays the headline “DISASTER COULD PUT OBAMA CABINET MEMBER IN OFFICE" across the face of the entire 3.28 minute segment of the Situation Room.  This suggestion plays to a populace in which civil disobedience and violent protests have erupted against Trump.

The banner is more than just a news headline; it is a psychological suggestion that has the potential to influence the occurrence of such acts directly.  The following articles, in simple terms discuss the impact of media suggestion influencing behavior.  Be aware the field is far broader and with significantly greater impact than a brief article can discuss here.

• Propaganda and Conflict. Theory and Evidence from the Rwandan Genocide

• Does Propaganda Incite Violence

• The Media as a Tool of War: Propaganda in the Rwandan Genocide

• How Suggestion Influences Behavior

• The Power of Suggestion Influences Our Behavior For Better or Worse 

In a society in which a large percentage of the population is emotionally disturbed by a Trump Presidency, and with a significant number of Democrats refusing to attend Trump’s inauguration, the stage is set to deligitimize the Trump presidency and foment criminal acts.  CNN and the Democrats are establishing these conditions. 

Of course CNN may want to trot out experts like the American Psychological Association who will suggest this is all nonsense.  Oh Oh.  The Stars and Stripes military vets magazine reported the American Psychological Association "secretly collaborated with officials at the Pentagon and CIA to weaken the association’s ethical guidelines and allow psychologists to take part in coercive interrogation programs after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks".

The fact that the American Psychological Association permitted itself to be compromised in this way indicates their top executives are either completely corrupt or lacked the integrity to stand up to a corrupt state.  In their own words in a major DC law firm report commissioned by the American Psychological Association, Sidley Austin on (page 37 in the link) notes that the American Psychological Association recognized it was wrong to do so and moreover supporting torture would actually create the terrorists that launched the attacks in Paris:

So trot out the experts CNN.  Just try to find some that are more credible than CNN.

CNN as a Military Pawn

Of even greater significance is the role the US military may play in such activity behind the scenes.  When Hillary Clinton lost, the military industrial complex lost their bag lady.  That is not something they take lightly.

The quest for control and modification of citizen behavior is not a new objective for the US Military and related agencies.  They have been working on the development of processes to understand and control behavior for at least 60 years.  In one of many examples, the Supreme Court case John Cary Sims et al. v. Central Intelligence Agency et al., in paragraph 2 reports the fact that the CIA sponsored extensive research "concerning chemical, biological, and radiological materials capable of employment in clandestine operations to control human behavior" since 1953. That is 60 years before any agency could blame terrorism as the pretext for their conduct.

More recently a Guardian news article titled “US military studied how to influence Twitter users in Darpa-funded research" reveals the development process has never stopped.  

Edward Snowden's disclosure that the NSA was collecting behavior data on everyone globally made me realize the NSA was collecting the same data insurance companies used to determine behavioral outcomes on the general population, but in far greater volume and covering more areas of people's lives.

Since not everyone in the world is a terrorist, especially when you consider the fact that the NSA collects data on everyone, including members of governments who are allies, and the small number of states that can be defined as harboring or breeding terrorists, it was clear to me that the true purpose of the NSA's data collection program is about changing and controlling people's behavior in a direct threat to one's life and liberty of thought. They are trying to tap into and use our behavioral habits against us. With the massive processing capacity available today the military is in a position to design behavior control programs and propaganda having significant impact, and the cost of analyzing and processing this data to find behavioral patterns and processes is decreasing.

It was easy to find documentation proving surveillance is about controlling citizens' behavior for the purposes of the military. The military is producing detailed manuals describing how behavior data gathered from surveillance is to be used by the military and its contractors to modify and control citizen's behavior - yours, mine, and everyone else:

• The 2007 US Department of the Army Field Manual No. 305.301, Psychological Operations Process Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures
  

• The STP 33-3711-OFS Officer Foundation Standards II Psychological Operations (37A) Officer's Manual, and

• The FM 3-05.2 Foreign Internal Defense Manual.

The 2007 US Department of the Army Field Manual No. 3-05.301, Psychological Operations Process Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures, on page 43 Chapter 2 Phase II: Target Audience Analysis describes the use of surveillance data for behavior change:

“Target audience analysis (TAA) formally begins upon receipt of the Psychological Operations objectives (POs), supporting Psychological Operations objectives (SPOs), and potential target audience list (PTAL). The Target Audience Analysis Model (TAAM) provides the framework by which PSYOP Soldiers identify and study TAs. Using the TAAM, PSYOP soldiers examine the motivations and consequences of behavior to determine how best to influence the TA. The end products of TAA are the PSYOP arguments used (the overall argument and approach to obtain the desired behavior from the TA) and recommended actions that the U.S. military and its allies can take to influence the behavior of selected foreign audiences.

TAA is the cornerstone of effective PSYOP. To change a group’s behavior, PSYOP Soldiers must understand why the TA behaves as it does. Conducting effective TAA is one of the most vital skills that a PSYOP Soldier can cultivate. PSYOP will be ineffectual or even detrimental to mission accomplishment without this critical analysis of the TA.”

My comments on the abbreviations used:

TAA = target audience analysis is the study of the behavior data of the target audience.  The NSA's surveillance operations provide the critical information needed to understand and design programs to change the behavior of target audiences.  Given the global reach of surveillance, one must assume everyone is a target.

TA = the target audience, which is you, I and everyone else. 

SPOs = the Supporting Psychological Operations objectives is simply military speak for changing our behavior to do their bidding.   

The STP 33-3711-OFS Officer Foundation Standards II Disciplines Psychological Operations (37A) Officer's Manual trains officers in managing behavior control and propaganda missions.  The manual is interesting because Figure P-1 lists useful academic disciplines officers should have a background, and which cover just about every aspect of human life.  These disciplines are targets for military manipulation and control. The intent is to infiltrate or even worse, work cooperatively with organizations in these fields to manipulate the information we make decisions with to control our behavior.  It looks like it is not too hard with news organizations like CNN.  They are slobbering all over their shirts to buy influence with politicians.

Welcome to the new age of democranazis.
