1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,020 step-by-step formula that will enable you to spot a psychological operation. 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:11,220 Separating manipulation from genuine news is like kind of playing detective. So here's a few steps 3 00:00:11,220 --> 00:00:19,380 that will put you on top of everybody for being able to spot a psyop. Number one is analyze the 4 00:00:19,380 --> 00:00:27,540 source. Is the outlet known for credible reporting or do they thrive in like sensationalism? So 5 00:00:27,540 --> 00:00:34,640 established out outlets like Reuters, sometimes Wall Street Journal, they report facts first and 6 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:44,300 others are way into drama. And psyops, psychological operations, extremely, very much rely on sensational 7 00:00:44,300 --> 00:00:51,720 headlines. If you see sensational headlines, you need to get the hell out. This is on all media on 8 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:56,880 both sides of the aisle. There is no aisle if you didn't, hadn't got that figured out already. 9 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,760 So next is who owns that platform that you're looking at? So media ties with pharmaceutical 10 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:10,600 companies, political entities, defense contractors, defense contractors. I dare you to look that one 11 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:19,380 up tonight. And so step two, question the timing. So you want to ask yourself, does the story that 12 00:01:19,380 --> 00:01:26,740 I'm looking at right now appear during a major crisis or scandal or upcoming election maybe? 13 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:35,760 Psyops will very often distract from bigger issues like UFO footage released during major policy 14 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:43,620 debates or global unrest. Huge red flag. Next is to follow the narrative. And I promise you don't have 15 00:01:43,620 --> 00:01:48,840 to go do five hours of research to do it. You just ask yourself, are multiple outlets, this one 16 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:58,100 question right here. Are multiple outlets parroting the exact same language? If you see that shit going 17 00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:03,000 down, you need to be very terrified that something's going into your brain that doesn't belong there. 18 00:02:03,780 --> 00:02:13,940 So psyops use coordinated messaging to reinforce a narrative. So look for phrases that feel copy and 19 00:02:13,940 --> 00:02:20,280 paste it like unprecedented threat or undeniable evidence. Those little phrases, you're going to 20 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:25,280 hear them. You will start to hear these everywhere you look. And the moment you hear copy paste phrases, 21 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:35,240 that is a psyop. So step four, look for emotional triggers. So all psyops thrive on pushing your buttons. 22 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,200 Think about the fate model. If you know what that is, focus, authority, tribe, and emotion. 23 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:47,280 So this is fear, anger, amazement. So if a story feels like it's designed, and I say the word designed 24 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:55,120 with bold, underline italics, if a story feels like it's designed to make you react emotionally, 25 00:02:55,540 --> 00:03:01,240 get out as fast, but don't even finish the story. Ask chat GPT about what you're trying to figure out. 26 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:11,040 So the stories about UFOs emphasize unknown threats without any evidence, you should be pretty careful about that. 27 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,980 And then just check the evidence. You ask yourself the question, are they providing evidence like document data, 28 00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:23,900 eyewitness accounts, or relying on anonymous sources and some vague claims? So if you ever hear the words, 29 00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:30,000 and I want you to burn these words into your head. I have never, I've never told anyone in my life how to 30 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,300 expose a psyop, but if you do all of these at once, you will never be manipulated. 31 00:03:37,980 --> 00:03:39,180 This one question 32 00:03:39,180 --> 00:03:51,180 with that stuff going on, I need to ask, is this going to expand government control or justify new laws? 33 00:03:51,180 --> 00:04:14,560 Okay. Analyze coverage patterns. So psyops all the time dominate the news cycle and they drown out 34 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:24,440 other stories. Real news coexists with other reports. Let me say that again. Real news coexists 35 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:33,360 with other reports about stuff that's going on. If one topic is everywhere, while major global events 36 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:43,800 get completely ignored, you're in the middle of a psyop. Next is look for follow-ups. This is 37 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:59,140 this is it. Real news evolves with new updates. Real news evolves with new updates. Psyops fade once 38 00:04:59,140 --> 00:05:05,600 they've served their purpose. I'll say that one more time. If you're taking notes, psyops will fade away 39 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:14,880 when they have served their purpose. So as an example, if you see some inflated, sensational story 40 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:20,540 that this vanishes after a week with no follow-up, that is called a distraction. 41 00:05:20,540 --> 00:05:31,560 It's called a distraction. So finally is trust your gut. Does it feel scripted? Sometimes things feel 42 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:37,940 just off and I want you to trust your instincts. Back them up with research if you want to. So what 43 00:05:37,940 --> 00:05:43,240 can you do? Like what the hell can you do about all this? The most important thing that I could give 44 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:50,340 you and I had no idea that I was going to really be talking about any of this, but the most important 45 00:05:50,340 --> 00:05:56,620 thing is cultivate critical thinking skills, learn to spot the propaganda, go back through what I just 46 00:05:56,620 --> 00:06:02,300 talked about the recording. Chris is going to make this recording available to everyone. I don't know 47 00:06:02,300 --> 00:06:08,600 how or where we'll make it available to everybody here. I don't care if you're an NCI plus or, or 48 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:16,700 whatever. Look for patterns in how the media or the government communicates about things. Maybe UFOs. 49 00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:26,380 Do they spot or do they, do they focus on fear or are they offering solutions that involve giving up 50 00:06:26,380 --> 00:06:32,680 freedom or increasing government power? So try to diversify all the places that you're getting news 51 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:38,580 from. Try to block every single news provider that you can possibly think of and use AI to get 52 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:45,960 your news and tell AI to be concise and apolitical in its answer. It's the best way to do it. So I want 53 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,760 you to memorize these three questions if you're taking notes. Number one, who benefits from this 54 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:59,920 narrative? Number two, what evidence is being shown and is it verifiable? Number three, why now? Why is it 55 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:07,940 happening right now? Next is strengthen your psychological state. Recognize these fear tactics. Fear is the 56 00:07:07,940 --> 00:07:14,580 number one easiest way to control human beings. Governments use all kinds of stuff as a way to 57 00:07:14,580 --> 00:07:20,500 unite people under a single narrative. So stay calm. Question why you're being told to be afraid. 58 00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:28,480 Question why you're being told to be afraid. And this sounds like some bullshit trope you might see on 59 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:35,060 some yoga instructor video, but mindfulness is one of the most powerful practices that you can start to 60 00:07:35,060 --> 00:07:40,360 adopt today. There's a million videos on it on YouTube. I'm not going to go into how to do it 61 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,240 today. It's, it's one of the most powerful things you can do just in general for your success in your 62 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:52,540 life, but it's going to help insulate you from some of this stuff. So just a few other ones, stay 63 00:07:52,540 --> 00:07:57,320 connected to your community, not your online community. Get to know who your neighbors are. 64 00:07:57,700 --> 00:08:02,700 Get to know your neighbors, walk across the street, know everybody that lives around you. Go 65 00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:07,440 introduce yourself. If you haven't already, your neighbors might be more important than you realize 66 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:13,860 here. If something goes down, uh, build self-reliance as much, as much as you possibly can 67 00:08:13,860 --> 00:08:21,340 stay grounded in reality. Always remind yourself that there's a lot of stuff going on. And through 68 00:08:21,340 --> 00:08:28,240 all this shit we've been through as a species, as a country, as a, as a globe, things usually just turn 69 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,700 out okay in the end. It's not that big of a deal. And finally, just get your mindset protected. 70 00:08:33,300 --> 00:08:42,380 The more people panic, the more easily governments can sweeping control the nation. So practice a 71 00:08:42,380 --> 00:08:46,940 little bit of skepticism and help other people to stay calm. That's your job. If you remember, 72 00:08:47,060 --> 00:08:52,580 you are the one studying authority and confidence and leadership. That's your job to help people stay 73 00:08:52,580 --> 00:08:59,460 calm. So stay educated, but just balanced. So research topic, like if you want to learn about 74 00:08:59,460 --> 00:09:07,720 this stuff, go Google project blue beam. Uh, it may keep you up all night, but, uh, you take a look 75 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:14,520 at that. So fear driven conspiracies can be just as manipulative as a, uh, government conspiracy. 76 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:24,200 Finally, uh, and I didn't, man, I wasn't going to say this cause it sounds weird, but if there's a 77 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:30,680 power outage, you have zero money if you don't have cash. So you may want to keep some cash on it if 78 00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:39,340 you can, if you can afford it. So always think of like when governments propose solutions, ask, 79 00:09:39,340 --> 00:09:45,560 do they actually address the issue, what freedoms or powers are being taken in exchange? And is the 80 00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:50,060 solution long-term or a convenient grab for power?
