What is psychological warfare
Learn how to play
Psychological warfare uses fear to break down the psychological well being of an opponent. Look at the list below for techniques that can be used to spread psychological uncertainty, fear, and terror.
News Outlets: The news is a large information source that all can tap into. Whether it's government run or independently owned, the news has the ability to spread whichever information it chooses. By infiltrating a news source, a population could be tainted by volatile information.
Threats: Threats of violence, restrictions of freedom, and control can be made to instill fear in the people. These could be empty threats or threats with true intention. Whatever the case, threatening a group or groups of people can psychologically damage the recipients over time, putting them in a state of constant fear, anxiety, and terror.
Leaflets: Leaflets are pieces of paper with manipulative messages/pictures that are dropped from the air over areas of war or political unrest. The goal is to persuade the recipients to either support or oppose the political event taking place.
Objects: Using objects such as t-shirts, posters, hats, pins, and more is an effective way to get a message across. The objects can become symbols for larger messages regarding politics, radical beliefs, religious philosophies, etc. These objects can become tools for promotion and even worship.
False flag: A false flag is when a group releases false information or carries out a fake terror attack to instill fear in people. However, the blame is put on another group or organization to gain control over the masses and shift opinion.
Media: While it may not seem like it, films, music, and books can act as tools for psychological warfare. The messages in media can rewrite history from a new perspective and/or put new ideas in the minds of the populous.
