DOD spends WAY MORE ON DOMESTIC PSY-OPS than it does outside the USofA. This must change.

This bears some scrutiny in upcoming Defense appropriations I'd say. Will Obama continue this kind of mind-fucking
psychological warfare on the domestic populous? I certainly hope not.

DOD Spends More on Domestic PsyOps Than On Foreign PsyOps
Friday February 6, 2009 1:16 pm

The AP just did a great investigation on how much money DOD is spending on PR and outreach (via Noah Shachtman). There are lots of nausea-inducing details in the story: that PR funds have grown 63% in the last five years, that DOD has almost as many people working in PR as the State Department employs altogether.

But what gets me is that DOD is spending more for Domestic PsyOps (otherwise known as Public Affairs) than it spends on Foreign PsyOps.

The biggest chunk of funds — about $1.6 billion — goes into recruitment and advertising. Another $547 million goes into public affairs, which reaches American audiences. And about $489 million more goes into what is known as psychological operations, which targets foreign audiences.

4. I think it's talking about much more than "reqruitment" ...

.. as in all the "retired military" on DOD payroll to be embedded in M$M as "experts" on prime time.
