January 2011 -- In this original 1968 U.S.
Army video footage, we are introduced to the
concept of "Psychological
Operations", in short: psy-ops. In
simple sights and sounds, the video explains
just how the population of a foreign country
is being targeted to, as the video states:
"make them perceive things from the
desired viewpoint".
The story in the video is set in a fictional
country called "Host Land",
somewhere in South America. In the movie,
the government of Host Land asks the USA for
help to fight domestic opposition, portrayed
as "communists". In a room
somewhere within the American embassy, a
conference takes place wherein this is
shown.
The rest of the video shows how the
Psychological Operations are conducted in
Host Land. The use of entertainers, media,
infiltrations and other means are presented
and explained.
The viewer of the video will not have a hard
time to recognize the very same principals
shown in this video in current events.
