Information Poisoning is a catch all description for the cognitive impairment resulting from Information Operations. Information Operations (IO)are the methods and tactics employed in advertising, in covert social control systems and “unrestricted,” non-linear or Information War. Tactics employed in wartime against enemy civilian populations are the same employed in peacetime to sell consumer goods.

 

Information War, Non-Linear War, or as the Chinese call it Unrestricted War, is a perpetual conflict between nations and sovereign actors which employs every available means; economic, political, technological, to defeat an opponent. PLA Colonels Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui noted in “Unrestricted Warfare,” a study published in China in 1999: “As the arena of war has expanded, encompassing the political, diplomatic cultural and psychological spheres, in addition to the land, sea, air space and electronics spheres the interactions among all factors have made it difficult for the military sphere to serve as the automatic dominant sphere in every war.’

In addition to overt content, news and entertainment contain implicit values, our unvoiced fears and unspoken hopes for the future. The potency of tactics employed in IO has been amplified by technological evolution which created enormous tightly networked populations and made increasing amounts of personal data available permitting individuals and groups to be precisely targeted with messaging engineered to exploit their belief systems.

 

As well as the psyops or Information Operations carried out by the nation state militaries and intelligence agencies in undeclared conflicts, the public has had decades of exposure in peacetime to unperceived influence technologies employed by the advertising industry. When psychology professor Wilson Bryan Key documented the ubiquitous use of subliminal technologies in both advertising and editorial media content back in the 1980s, the industry made a significant and sophisticated effort to

deny, distract and confuse the public about the issue. Advertising Age, the leading trade publication, attacked Key in a front-page article, labeling him a dirty-minded crank, obsessed with imaginary obscenities in media content and trotting out a legion of paid experts to dispute, discredit and ultimately

dismiss the possibility subliminal embeds were ever widely used in advertising or could ever hope to be effective.

 

The same tactic used against those who oppose promiscuous vaccine, phony climate change science and other cultist frauds.

Entertainment is not just entertainment, it is adult education, consumer conditioning and social engineering. It is the principal mechanism employed by nation states to reliably influence social behavior. The content of entertainment exerts significant, predictable effects on human behavior and belief systems and over the future course and direction scientific, economic and moral evolution. Entertainment directs popular attention, lends support to or selectively subverts social

issues, fosters unity or division and incrementally enhances or gradually constricts collective cognitive capacity.

The Princeton psychologist Hadley Cantril was central to development of the science of propaganda:

 

Hadley Cantril was Nelson Rockefeller's roommate at Dartmouth in the 1920's and his 1935 doctorate was on "The Psychology of Radio". Here's a quote from it:

“Radio is an altogether novel medium of communication, preeminent as a means of social control and epochal in its influence upon the mental horizons of men.”

 

Cantril joined Princeton in 1936 and became president of the "Institute for Propaganda Analysis" and founding editor in 1938 of the Rockefeller Foundation-funded "Public Opinion Quarterly" which was associated with the US government's psychological warfare efforts after World War II. He became chairman of the Princeton Psychology department. The Rockefeller Foundation gave him a $67K grant to form the "Princeton Radio Project".

The official story is that the October 30, 1938 radio broadcast of H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds" just happened to occur outside of Princeton and Cantril and associates took the opportunity to do an extensive study of people's responses and to write a book and do studies on the event. At the time, it

was the largest mass persuasion event in human history.

In 1940 Cantril wrote "The Invasion From Mars: A Study in the Psychology of Panic".

The Rockefeller Foundation was especially interested in manipulating public opinion during wartime.

Their 1939 report said: “The war in Europe has given this country an unusual opportunity for studying the development of public opinion, the changes which opinion undergoes under varying conditions, and the reasons for change.”

and that the project:

"would supply essential facts on the formation and trend of opinion from peace to war time and from one stage to another under the force of successive war crises. It is expected that further analysis of the data will demonstrate the influence of such factors as family relationship, educational experience, and

occupation; the group origins of reported intensity of opinion or apparent lack of it on many issues"

They helped guide American public opinion as America joined World War II in 1941.

Rockefeller was moving their banking and oil interests into South America and were excited about using the new "soft power" of psychological operations to monitor and shape public opinion there. They funded Cantril and George Gallup to create "American Social Surveys" to assess public opinion in South

America. They did the same in the US. and Roosevelt used Cantril's findings to craft his speeches during the war. They also did projects with the Psychological Warfare Branch of Military Intelligence in North

Africa, the Department of State on US attitudes toward foreign affairs, and the Office of Strategic Services on German public opinion.

Over time, the Rockefellers especially but many other groups funded ever more sophisticated public opinion monitoring and manipulation techniques and used them for both business and politics.

The War of the Worlds (radio drama)

That event seems to now be understood on at least 5 levels and was related to the study of propaganda for business and to get the US into World War II:

  1. Dramatic Orson Welles radio show intended to move an audience

  2. Rockefeller funded Princeton study to see how influenced a population could be by an emotionally

powerful media

  1. The real manipulation was to test whether people would believe that others would believe the performance was real and

become hysterical. Early investigation into shifting a population's beliefs about other people!

  1. Denial of the panic as "fake news" and a "naturally arising" myth

  2. Claim that newspaper stories created the myth because "radio was a threat to newspapers" and they wanted to discredit it.

[Note: From late 1959 to early 1962, Murray was responsible for experiments that have come widely to be considered unethical, in which he used twenty-two Harvard undergraduates as research subjects. Among other goals, experiments sought to measure individuals' responses to extreme stress.

The unwitting undergraduates were submitted to what Murray called "vehement, sweeping and personally abusive" attacks. Specifically-tailored assaults to their egos, cherished ideas and beliefs were used to cause high levels of stress and distress. The subjects then viewed recorded footage of their reactions to this verbal abuse repeatedly. Among them was 17-year-old Ted Kaczynski, a mathematician who went on to become the Unabomber,

a domestic terrorist targeting academics and technologists for 18 years.Alston Chase's book Harvard and the Unabomber: The Education of an American Terrorist connects Kaczynski's abusive experiences under Murray to his later criminal career. In 1960, Timothy Leary started research in psychedelic drugs at Harvard, which Murray is said to have supervised. Murray's experiments were part of, or indemnified by, the US Government's research

into mind control known as the MK ULTRA project

 

Since the days of Key and Cantril and Murray, fMRI and ingenious experiments by behavioral economists like Daniel Kahneman, Dan Ariely and many others have confirmed in a multitude of ways that habits, hunches, and conditioned responses is responsible for almost all non-formal human decision making.

Even complex, procedural logic driven human decision-making has an intuitive component, which anyone involved with the advertising, market research or media content production knows. For this reason, tactics and technologies which reliably influence the unconscious component of mind are highly

developed. National, regional and local media are freighted with sounds, symbols and images, unperceived messages targeting consumers' unconscious, to be retained and held in memory to influence future decision-making.

 

As Key put it, “In spite of the evidence presented in this book, most Americans will still find it difficult to believe that their trusted, high-credibility information sources long

ago betrayed them into the hands of profit hungry marketing executives who have quietly researched, developed and exhaustively applied a subliminal technology of communication that is now driving every larger segments of the population to pathological behaviors. “

Subliminal and symbolic influence tactics are seldom discussed in legacy media, not because the tactics are ineffective and rarely used, but because they are so effective that the advertising-supported media superorganism considers them critical to the function of the industry. Subliminal advertising is illegal, though the laws against it are both feeble and likely unenforceable, having been openly transgressed for the term of their existence and since the business model of advertising supported media depends on

their nullity. The manipulation of individuals, identity groups and national populations after world war 2 was held critical to national security; subliminals are key to that manipulation. Advertising and media

content targeting viewer’s unconscious mind has been augmented by techniques like hypnotic induction, subsonic “whisper” acoustics and images which stimulate aggression, sexual arousal or instinctual response. As previously noted, the power of these exploits and the depth and range of their

reach has been greatly enhanced by the advent of networked media technologies.

The presumed independence and competitive operation of entertainment and communications industry is illusory. The media may be considered as a single functionally integrated parasitic organism which

includes the advertising industry. “Simply expressed, what is consciously perceived by individuals, groups or nations has little or nothing to do with the physical, biological, economic and social realities the perceptions represent. “

 

Advertising supported media viewers are not citizens whom broadcasters compete to inform but consumer victims to be coerced and manipulated. Advertising supported legacy media is not a passive partner in subversion - they are the "experts" in subliminal influence – and they are planners and profit participants in the exploitation, deception and social engineering and now the principal architects of the psychological attack intended to destroy America. Media has been doing this ever since advertising supported media was born. Karl Kraus the Viennese satirist, documented the advertising supported media’s role in fomenting the incompetent and disastrous charade of WW I. One of Kraus’s recent

translators, Michael Russell, summarizes, “Kraus saw a powerful influential press in Vienna becoming ever more mendacious, manipulative, corrupt and self-serving, forming ever stronger ties with the aristocratic, industrial, financial and above all political elites of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and later,after the war, with the struggling democracy of a new Austria.”
