The growth of communication tools, the dramatically accelerated flow of persuasive communication through the manipulation of symbols and basic human emotions is not only a system to entertain, and inform but to inject individuals with the values, beliefs, and codes of behavior. Integration through Psychological Media into the social body.
Information is flowing faster than most people feel they can absorb or acquire the additional information needed to make decisions and to be able to control the outcome. This situation is fertilizing the ground for Electronic Warfare, tactical deception and Psychological Operations.
To distinguish between information and propaganda becomes virtually impossible. Information, a myth filled with the landmarks of consensual hallucination.
Senso - Linguistic Infiltration Programs (SLIP)
A believe commonly accepted is that if that if you are reasonably well informed and educated it is easy to fend off propaganda-attacks.
On the contrary, it seems that if you cannot read you are less vulnerable to propaganda and intellectuals are the best targets of perception management, not only for their predictable worldviews but due to their implanted feeling of being immune. To read means to decode, to be infected by a virus.
Classic terminology distinguishes two fronts for the battle for human minds: the First Front of mass indoctrination through censorship and propaganda and a Second Front of individual mind control.
Huge interest is placed on creating an in-formed opinion, to form public opinion as a whole by a hypnotic web of "facts" with no apparent correspondence to reality. The routine of illusionists and perception management cognitive engineers.
Psychological Consolidation Activities by Committees on Public Information
target the population in order to achieve a desired behavior which supports their objectives.
In covert or Subversive Propaganda and Black Operations the message is made believable by the fact that it appears to be coming from within the target population itself.
Deep Propaganda and Subpropaganda are aimed at habits, customs, the definition of good and bad and the standards and norms of life.
Normative-Empathetic Warfare involves parsing value schemata of the target and creating situations where the value schemata are biased in favor of an action leading to the control of the victim or placeing it in a restricted position. Similarly a trap is a device that by design hides its function.
The non-lethal weapon industry focuses on low intensity conflict/war on nations and population segments in PSYCOP (Military Psychological Operation Unit) experiments of behavior modification.
The transcendence of the human condition in stylized relations, creates a desire to happily sacrifice for work, war and enforced leisure in exchange for a Weltanschauung, luring the bedazzled into the graceful existence of slavery, the self-centered freedom of marionettes, the eloquence of automatons.
Telepresent Contagious Postures (TCP)
The infiltration of contagious beliefs as attitude into the body of information is the pro-vision of a gesture, a posture to assume. A posture to put the enemy at disadvantage (known from the martial arts and ritual gestures) and to ease feelings of 'angst' (which, afterall, might be appropriate for unknown reasons).
Appeals to fear are likely to succeed in changing behavior if they contain recommendations the target believes to be effective and doable.
Deterrence is as much a function of one's cyber posture and presence as of one's strength. MUTES (MUltiple Threat Emitter Simulators) with high CFAR (Constant False Alarm Rates) are at the heart of a TAFIM (Technical Architecture Framework for Information) in TMB (Theater Battle Management).
Infocalypse manipulation is social engineering of psychocybernetic coordinates through the subliminal power of definition through intermediation and interpretation. Control-artists, telefacturing conventionalized hallucinations of synreal systems, mesmerize the dataflux.
The existing formative stereotypes/demons are awakened by symbols of demand, identification and expectation in formalized participation in sacredness and taboo. Bonding and group solidarity is strengthened through ritualized crime, human sacrifice and blood in theatrical moves and figures.
Propaganda Propulsion Project (PPP)
The News are the waves and ripples generated by fundamental currents in the deep sea of unconscious agreements, reinforcing myths and conditioned reflexes. As is generally true of a myth, the story contains elements of truth.
Social myths, necessary for harmony with the environment and reduce the stress of the unknown. Consuming your newsmedia of choice is satisfaction in the desire to reduce tension and find a soothing remedy for cosmic loneliness in cognitive-ritual participation.
A Leviathan scenario in which humans are induced to give up the right to themselves in exchange for personal safety, exploiting the human tendency to be subsumed by social organisms via self- and reality-alienating tendencies of language. (Leviathan being the name of the US Merchant Marine vessel that laid the first trans-Atlantic telephone cables.)
The Sumerians believed in Seas of Knowledge, the Akkadian creation myth features the primordial sea-serpent Mummu-Tiamat, the dark empress ruling the Chaos of the Sea.
The dramas of mythological soap operas and their strange attractors generate self-sustaining patterns, while the enforcement of an attention focus on the spectaculum drowns everything that does not fit the myth (in a factually most exclusive world).
The objective is to create a focus of interest. Psychological Themes or POETs, (Primed Oscillator Expendable Transponders) evoke one aspect, while leaving out another. A structure of pure sounds, pure letters, pure signals conjures feelings and reflexes in an autopilot, chain-thinking hidden guidance system.
Technology has been used at all times for an apotheosis of power and the preparation of war, from the ancient temples to the contemporary centers of influence, and has preserved all the characteristics of a magic craft, practiced by a male dominated elite of wizards.
Warfare needs myths particularly for internal integration and motivational propaganda. Unit cohesion and the 'moral' of the soldiers is still the major asset of any military confrontation and workforce.
All technological structures and man/machine interactions have inherently emergent propaganda effects.
Socio-tech interaction, is more than the sum of its parts. Non-linear dynamic systems that have an attractor have emerging properties. Synergetic properties that you won't find by studying it's parts only.
Behind machines there is a technology of know-how, a way of looking at the world and coping with it. Integrated Definition for Information Modeling. Cybercrats always emphasize the efficiency of technologies and veil the potential social effects.
Massconsumption requires identical ways of life and a technical workforce breeds conformity. Adjustment to normality is the aim. Psychological warfare attacks the mind to reach the will and is always personally addressed to me, myself. Desire is the control mechanism of the economy of imagination.
Cybercratic Conspiracy Command Control Intelligence (C4I)
This is not longer about the individual looking at the media, but the media staring back. The walls have become alive with distributed computational intelligence, topsight telecommunication of remote viewing and control.
Overwhelming dominance of electronic information systems, digitized footprints of social transactions allow to process information over long sequences of widely dispersed activities, a perpetual, pervasive surveillance.
The game is to monitor everything, everywhere, all the time. Unintentional modulation along with unintentional emission constitute examples of lesser known forms of signal and electronic intelligence. An edition of the DOD Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms explains signal intelligence (SIGINT) as a category comprising all communications intelligence (COMINT), electronics and telemetry intelligence and involves the reception and characterization of electromagnetic radiation.
SIGINT effectiveness is at a point where virtually all electromagnetic communication is highly vulnerable.
Many Agencies owe their existence to the secretive continuous absorption of electromagnetic emissions, you might say they are harvesting and feeding on it.
Confronted with omnipresent, all-seeing data-mining banks, passivity and compliance is the safest route for any citizen, avoiding anything a computer would find interesting.
Decentralized Automated Information Systems with EEI (External Environment Interfaces) allow tactical initiatives, yet provide central symbol analysts with intelligence for strategic purposes using people, databases and processors as easily retrievable resources in a network.
Autonomous software application systems are called "Agents" or "Demons". The term "demon" is appropriate as digital demons are not directly controlled by a masterprogram but rather invoked into actions by changes in their environment. Demons can form computational societies with autopoietic lifelike behaviors similar to insect colonies or other social systems.
Just as in the traditional form, the digital demons are at once independent and programmed to respond to certain cues in specific situations and environments. Like their stellar counterparts they can serve or control.
(Classic demonology lists an endless series of divisions where demons mediate the complexity of supercelestial information. )
Infobody Biofeedback Modulation (IBM)
Collective phase entrainment by social force; the tactical formation of the social organism through the control of the economy of imagination and individualized, inner control by local peer pressure. An auto-calibrating distributed believesystem management allowing for necessary agitation and integration on the basis of horizontal conspiracies, co-dependent limited autonomous intelligence.
Most individual social entities are less than well equipped to complete complex tasks, but are functioning well in the context of a social body as a macro-organismic insect population. Individuals might not be able to follow a coherent thought but they are perfectly able to make highly complex calculations regarding your social status in respect to dress-codes, facial expression or nuances in language, by using instinct and being imbedded in an supraintelligent biosystem.
This model is in widespread use, although a part of the game is to pretend it is not. The whole being more than the sum of its parts.
The hypothesis of conscious macrobes or social macro-organisms in which individual humans are cells and sub-organisms the organs, seems attractive once a naive belief in solid objects is abandoned. Social organisms are not any less solid than matter itself.
Vast Active Living Intelligence System (VALIS)
Information has often been considered as both space and being. A living holographic information system, a Vast Active Living Intelligence System crossbanding with human hosts.
This idea of a living info-space is analog to an understanding of music as a complex spatial dynamic structure. Sound space is created through impulse patterns, rhythm, within which interactions spatially expand and interact. This harmonical structured code is then sometimes seen as triggering the influx of entities, similar to invoking demons.
(Numerically structured cosmology was understood in relation to canonical proportions.)
The human concept structure, based on 3D survival in time, will easily dismiss other concepts beyond the particular implementation of " flatlandish " structures. The science of complexity builds a bridge between technology and hyperdimensionality. It requires mountains of madness to consider further research into hyperdimensionality, for species that is in crisis when the earth cools or warms by just a few degrees. The human 3D world is imbedded in 'n' dimensions, but what is out there feeding from our dimensional subdomains?
To avoid the narrowed down perspective of the anthropocentric human survival machine scenario it has been suggested to look at evolution as the story of bacteria. People only acting as the agents for a successful bacterial colonization of space.
The concept of memes is that of self-replicating entities of human culture, the same way genes replicate through a biological organism. As materialist reductionism says "Cultures are survival machines blindly programmed to preserve the selfish entities known as memes."
Memes are thought-chains that propagate and compete in the cultural environment. Parasitizing the brain, the way a virus parasitizes the genetic mechanism of the host cell, they are described not just metaphorically but technically as living structures. We are talking about living entities living off humans, eating brain, when they do not battle themselves in memetic cannibalism, preying on each other like flip-flop cellular automatons.
Memes eating brains, but who harvests memes? Where in the foodchain are memes?
Maybe they are milked and used to produce cheese. Maybe it is not the milk, meat or wool but some body fluid of memetic cultures? Could it be a sexual secretion which is used as an aphrodisiac like musk, or amber - where it costs the life of a whale to gain its expensive perfume? Is it not a classic theme of paranoids, psychotics and UFO abductees to report surgical manipulation of bodyparts related to sexual reproduction?
The science of complexity presages the understanding of social organisms.
The Hypothesis of Formative Causation provides a background for the
concept of conspiracy as part of a social organism.
It makes no difference whether conspirators are seen as agents of blind forces as long as the conspiracies of the blind gods feedback into reality.
The scales of formation, the foodchains of conspiracies are in motion.
Subpropaganda, the dance of the info-zombies, non-local effects clouding the view, is not steamengineering steam-engine-time.
Conspiracy threads, narrative hypertext storylines and deus ex machina subtexts are real-life fairy tales for grown ups. Suggestive, addictive, players choose the fittest outfit by default. Facts and fashion interchangeably unified in a stream of trends and rumors. Multiple timebased dresscodes, flickering colorcodes and texture-recognition signals in high-speed computation, from subunderground to the top 10. All engines running, all agents busy to keep their worlds alive.
A multicultural, hegemonic particularism of conspiracies in a stable and dynamic, complex cybernetic system with multiple feedback loops. Hyperconspiracy as a structure where most diverse local conspiracies weave together in a worldwide metaconspirative holistic propaganda system.
Propaganda, the sexual secretion of the Leviathan ?
Information Age communication-technologies ring the bell of Propaganda Age in an attack on the infobody, the shared presuppositions and myths of the rival and conflicting parts of the social system.
Mac Believe is the biggest industry on the planet.
Symbiotic co-conspiracies and predatory parasitic socio-bionic life-forms in synreferential behavior modification.

"..My main point can then be stated as follows: sedimentary rocks, species and social classes (and other institutionalized hierarchies) are all historical constructions, the product of definite structure-generating processes which take as their starting point a heterogeneous collection of raw materials (pebbles, genes, roles), homogenize them through a sorting operation and then give the resulting uniform groupings a more permanent state through some form of consolidation. Hence, while some elements remain different (e.g. only human institutions, and perhaps, biological species, involve a hierarchy of command) others stay the same: the articulation of homogenous components into higher-scale entities.

considering style, selfconsciousness and grace in man and machine.
"...In his literary-philosophical essay "On the theatre of Marionettes", Heinrich von Kleist talks about the devastating effects of (self-)consciousness on the natural grace of a human being. What distinguishes humankind from animals and automats as well as from gods, is a dubious feature: i.e. affectation and artifice in our way of acting. The physical metaphors for this loss or lack of grace is that our movements can issue from other places than the gravitational centre of our body, in which, according to Kleist, the "vis motrix" or soul is located.
In contrast to this, the movements of a marionette can never start from anywhere else. This accounts, Kleist explains, for their unfailing
gracefulness. In terms of a single polarity, the animal, the machine and the god are all on the positive side of the scale of grace, and we humans on the other, the gods having infinite consciousness and the machine and the animal none. Erring is our privilege....."

Notes from Tucson II Conference on Consciousness
"....Many of the papers at this conference in neuro and cognitive science presented amazingly effective techniques for manipulating and
controlling states of consciousness. The potentials for these techniques of mind-control to be used in the field on unsuspecting naive
populations in "nonlethal warfare" are awesome to behold and contemplate. They can be and will be easily misused by authoritarian
immoral power structures. These techniques not only involve manipulation by drugs and ordinary electromagnetic, sound and
kinaesthetic signals as in subliminal television broadcasting and virtual reality transmission via the World Wide Web of the Internet, but
also purport to involve quantum action at a distance in the reports on psychokinesis, telepathy and remote viewing.
Nonlethal psychic warfare using the distant manipulation of the consciousness of the "enemy" will be an important factor in the 21st century.
