Behind NATO’s ‘cognitive warfare’: ‘Battle for your brain’ waged by Western militaries

Western governments in the NATO military alliance are developing tactics of “cognitive warfare,” using the supposed threats of China and Russia to justify waging a “battle for your brain” in the “human domain,” to “make everyone a weapon.”

{“The brain will be the battlefield of the 21st century,” the report stressed. “Humans are the contested domain,” and “future conflicts will likely occur amongst the people digitally first and physically thereafter in proximity to hubs of political and economic power.”}

Violence is already on the rise. That provides an indication to step it up.

{In a chilling disclosure, the report said explicitly that “the objective of Cognitive Warfare is to harm societies and not only the military.”

With entire civilian populations in NATO’s crosshairs, the report emphasized that Western militaries must work more closely with academia to weaponize social sciences and human sciences and help the alliance develop its cognitive warfare capacities.}

{But it appears clear that NATO’s development of cognitive warfare will lead to a militarization of all aspects of human society and psychology, from the most intimate of social relationships to the mind itself.}

It worked so well with the militarization of law enforcement as the public silently complied to that, the only thing left now is full indoctrination of the citizen mind. Especially here in the US, we've given our representation and the ruling class that own them, complete confidence of this being a potentially successful agenda.

{The study makes it clear that those “competitors” purportedly exploiting the consciousness of Western dissidents are China and Russia.

In other words, this document shows that figures in the NATO military cartel increasingly see their own domestic population as a threat, fearing civilians to be potential Chinese or Russian sleeper cells, dastardly “fifth columns” that challenge the stability of “Western liberal democracies.”}

In other words. Those of us who recognize and dissent from the criminal intents of the ruling class will become targeted. I will argue the fascist elements of our society will join this agenda under a new Trump like figure. The potential of, I can hire one half of the working class to kill the other half is already making a completion of the history cycle, with a greater possibility to become a reality this time.

{“Cognitive warfare seeks to change not only what people think, but also how they act,” the Canadian government wrote in its official statement on the challenge. “Attacks against the cognitive domain involve the integration of cyber, disinformation/misinformation, psychological, and social-engineering capabilities.”

Ottawa’s press release continued: “Cognitive warfare positions the mind as a battle space and contested domain. Its objective is to sow dissonance, instigate conflicting narratives, polarize opinion, and radicalize groups. Cognitive warfare can motivate people to act in ways that can disrupt or fragment an otherwise cohesive society.”}

If these tactics have already been applied in Canada, you can bet your ass they are in the US also. Propaganda has reached a new level. I highly suggest you revisit/visit the pinned pages to recalibrate your recognition abilities.

{“It starts with hyper-connectivity. Everyone has a cell phone,” he continued. “It starts with information because information is, if I may say, the fuel of cognitive warfare. But it goes way beyond solely information, which is a standalone operation – information warfare is a standalone operation.”

Cognitive warfare overlaps with Big Tech corporations and mass surveillance, because “it’s all about leveraging the big data,” du Cluzel explained. “We produce data everywhere we go. Every minute, every second we go, we go online. And this is extremely easy to leverage those data in order to better know you and use that knowledge to change the way you think.”}

I have occasionally stated how the use of cellphones, the Internet, especially search engines, open us up to giving virtually every possible bit of our lives to corporations and the government. Your information is sold and passed around to virtually every corporation. The NSA captures every electronic move you make. You're constantly being followed by someone or can have your data retrieved to know where you were.

If you use your cellphone for an alarm clock they know what time you get up in the morning. They are virtually attempting to control your day from that point on with advertisements. Search engine use provides them with advertisement propaganda. Very much so, in a sense, your perception is already under attack within attempts to manage.

{As for who the targets of cognitive warfare could be, du Cluzel revealed that anyone and everyone is on the table.

And anyone could be a target of these cognitive warfare operations: “Any user of modern information technologies is a potential target. It targets the whole of a nation’s human capital,” the report ominously added.

“This battlefield is global via the internet. With no beginning and no end, this conquest knows no respite, punctuated by notifications from our smartphones, anywhere, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.”}

{The Pentagon is among the primary institutions advancing this novel research, as the report highlighted:

perhaps the most proactive efforts in this regard have been conducted by the United States Department of Defense; with most notable and rapidly maturing research and development conducted by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA).”}

If you combine this with the Mint Press News articles I posted about the simulation programs on the 2020 election, would I be to far out on the limb that the Jan 6th actions in DC might have been manufactured using this program? With the way it was played out with too little preparedness and by denying help for so long, would I be to far out on the limb to suggest that they purposely wanted to see how well the program worked? Were the lame congressional hearings, we now hear nothing about, purposely managed to keep discovery of the program secret?

The comment was a fitting conclusion to the panel, affirming that NATO and its allies in the military-industrial complex not only seek to dominate the world and the humans that inhabit it with unsettling cognitive warfare techniques, but to also ensure that corporations and their shareholders continue to profit from these imperial endeavors.
