The United States of America has beaten and completely decimated Iran, both Militarily, Economically, and in every other way, but the Countries of the World that receive Oil through the Hormuz Strait must take care of that passage, and we will help — A LOT! The U.S. will also coordinate with those Countries so that everything goes quickly, smoothly, and well. This should have always been a team effort, and now it will be — It will bring the World together toward Harmony, Security, and Everlasting Peace! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The basic principles of PSYOPS can be delineated as follows:

• Credibility. Using truthful and verified information as well as clear facts enhances the trust and credibility of the target audience. Conversely, the use of lies undermines trust and discredits the source through which information is delivered, which negatively affects the long-term effectiveness and success of the PSYOPS (even if it is subsequently conducted on the basis of truth).

• Orderliness, consistency and coordination. All PSYOPS products and materials are subject to an overall information strategy and a single strategic story. They are performed in a consistent and coordinated manner, both in command vertical and horizontal forces and units, regardless of the possible cultural and ethnic differences and characteristics of the target audience. Coordination of PSYOPS is carried out through information operations at the operational and tactical levels, while ensuring: their integration into the overall plan of information operations at the beginning of the planning phase; consistency with current military operations, the overall information strategy and the operational objectives of the commander. There is also ongoing coordination to prevent the disruption of PSO by the actions of other units, and vice versa. In addition, PSYOPS influence the development of an information strategy.

• Understanding. Target Audience Analysis is a key tool to reach target audience understanding. The effectiveness of PSYOPS depends on a comprehensive understanding of the TA, which includes historical, social and cultural aspects. Without this understanding, the success of PSYOPS is virtually impossible, and their conduct can lead to second- and third-order destructive consequences.

• Timeliness and Efficiency. PSYOPS materials are manufactured and disseminated in accordance with the timeframe set out in order to achieve the desired result according to the Commander’s Plan (if necessary). The rapid development of success by PSYOPS based on situational capabilities is often vital, so advance planning, pre-testing and material approval procedures are required. In doing so, the Approval Institution/Person is appointed to the lowest possible extent to ensure the effectiveness of such capabilities.

• Evaluation. PSYOPS continuously evaluate the impact of PSYOPS on the target audience. Thus, prior to exercising any influence on TA, PSYOPS units receive standardized information on current models of TA perception, attitudes, and behavior. Such an assessment provides the necessary information on changes to the PSYOPS measures and is integrated into the overall operational evaluation process.
• Attribution. As to maintain credibility with NATO and PSYOPS units, responsibility for PSYOPS is usually assumed by NATO or other relevant partner country or partner organization.

The Limits of Competence

Delta leaders are the Peter Principle in action

Barsoom's top wordsmith, Dr. John Carter, interviews me about Fields & Energy and the state of modern physics.

Can you provide an extremely brief, non-technical, high-level summary of Fields & Energy for the benefit of readers who might not have the background to follow discussions that get down into the weeds of the intersection between mathematical physics, experimental physics, and the historical development of science? What should their main takeaway be?

"Physics has long insisted that electromagnetism springs from one paradoxical entity, a photon which somehow simultaneously combines the mutually contradictory properties of non-localized wave and localized particle. My research reveals a simpler truth: two distinct actors share the stage, first fields that move as a wave, the other an energy flow that traces definite paths and appears as particles at the smallest scales. My Fields & Energy model follows from an understanding of electromagnetic theory, yet looks suspiciously like the long neglected pilot-wave interpretation of quantum mechanics. Fields guide energy.

"The takeaway is that electromagnetism isn’t just a magic black box where things happen and we can only hope to “shut up and calculate” with tedious formulas. Instead, there’s a deep, rich, and intuitive understanding possible.

"Electromagnetism is not just math to muddle through, but rather a mindset to master."

Why the US Navy Retreated

It’s not just because there is a real risk to their ships. It’s because the Epstein Alliance no longer has reliable air superiority to risk entering Iranian airspace: The USA and Israel are rapidly approaching the same strategic state that Ukraine is already in, which is that continuing the war only ensures that they will […]

💢 "Netanyahu" didn't clear anything up with this. This doesn't cut it. The internet is far more populated with people proficient at spotting visual anomalies which debunk this clip, or with knowledge of AI and post-processing tech matters, than it is with people able to step back and take a 'wide angle' view of this strategically and cognitively. Here's where our work comes in.

Netanyahu's people, assumedly, do a proof of life video, which already reflects tremendous weakness. His team, and Netanyahu (if he is alive), submitted to the order to appear in form.

This is already a tremendous acknowledgement of a few things - that it's realistic that he could be dead, that they had to prove otherwise - the mere act of answering a question of this type in itself reflects a power imbalance where Netanyahu's people (assumedly) are forced to answer a critical question to the public, which would otherwise be considered beneath one's dignity and disrespectful, unless it could be true.

The internet was jubilant that Netanyahu could be dead. This in itself is a very important big data analytics data point that any sane powerful leader would take note of.

They do not have the upper hand right now.

Imagine someone gives you a forged document and your life savings are on the line. . You challenge it. They then give you another one to 'clear things up'. While it addresses 'some' problems, it creates others. What do your survival instincts tell you? What's most likely going on? That's how you have to think about this.

But because this is another pre-produced piece and not a true public appearance, it raises more doubts as to his status.

There are anomalies in the clip ... + claims it was drawn from source material from an actual visit to this cafe during Covid. But that's not where we need to place our argument. The problems may or may not have normal explanations (post processing errors), returning to the same location to shoot this, etc.

There is of course a skipping around 45 seconds, there is a sudden hand movement downward that skips frames in there too. Some people note physics anomalies with his coffee. I noted that his pocket appears to 'swallow' his hand unnaturally.

❗️ But the greater problems are meta: why this was done, and how it does not solve the problems actually introduced in the first clip.

This here is not a true public appearance. It is - at best - another staged and controlled reel with levels of production work and does not fulfill the order to appear requirement, and at worst, entirely AI.

The whole thing can be digital. But set aside that line of reasoning for a moment.

🔹 This is a closed staged setting.

🔹 Operate on the assumption that most of this reel is 'real'.

🔹 This would be treated as a hybrid of actual reel and some digitization.

🔹 Cordon off the location.

🔹 Bring in IDF intel unit assets to play the role of barista etc.

🔹 Have a Netanyahu double do this piece (this is a very long established international practice)

🔹 Digitally alter the face to be closer in line with Netanyahu and use AI generated (or pre-AI) 'Netanyahu voice'.

But once you go down that route, one could potentially apply this to anyone, or anywhere, without consistency.

We noted the above bullet points to cover bases from people looking at the physical evidence.

The bigger issue is that this does not fulfill the requirement of a proof of life.

He would need to be in actual public, not in a controlled setting, and meet with a world leader. Here, most of us would not immediately be able to tell - the efficacy of a double etc. would work on most everyone. But foreign intel agencies would be able to assess whether it was really Netanyahu meeting with the world leader, or if present at, say, the location of a destroyed building (or something 'live' in person in relation to the war).

From here, there would be quiet and growing confirmation among intel agencies that this is not actual Netanyahu.

The fact that we do not have this tells us almost everything.
