Fortean Winds
An exploration of the UAP - UFO phenomenon and the associated "high strangeness" which accompanies it from the standpoint of analysts and researchers. Fortean Winds is a collective of data and research professionals who began a project in 2020 to better understand the UFO/UAP phenomenon from the perspective of existing research and evidence. After a few years study and note taking (which you can see at our website https://www.forteanwinds.com) , we're ready to discuss our notes and insights involving the UFO phenomenon.

What is a PSYOP — really?
In this milestone Episode 50 of Fortean Winds, RamX and Bones break down official U.S. military doctrine on Psychological Operations (PSYOP), information warfare, and cognitive influence — then apply it to modern media, social networks, and even UFO disclosure.
From Joint Chiefs doctrine (JP 3-13.2) to digital botnets, memetic warfare, and algorithmic amplification, this episode explains how perception itself has become the battlefield.
Are UFO narratives being used as distraction, narrative management, or strategic belief shaping?
Is modern disclosure organic — or structured?
This is not speculation. It’s a field manual.
If perception is the battlefield, then PSYOP is the weapon.
Topics covered:
- Strategic, Operational, and Tactical PSYOP
- White, Gray, and Black psychological operations
- Memetic warfare and social media botnets
- Roswell, Blue Book, and modern disclosure narratives
- Digital influence operations and algorithmic manipulation
- How to recognize a PSYOP in the wild
Episode 50 isn’t about what to believe.
It’s about understanding how belief gets shaped.
Stay curious. Stay awake. Stay weird.

Our UFO Research Summary.
[music]
Welcome to the Fortean Winds podcast where we
talk about high stranges and the [music]
war for perception. I go by Bones and
with us as always is Ram X.
>> Hey. Hey everybody.
>> Hey Ram. Hey. So this is episode 50 and
uh today we're going to do something a
little different. We spent years talking
about UFOs, mythology, theology, and the
fight for disclosure, and digital
manipulation, and what we've also called
now the war for perception. Uh, so today
we're going to kind of strip it down to
the fundamentals, and it's going to be
what is a SCOP. Um, and we're not
talking about the the meme version, uh,
not the Hollywood version, the real one,
the military doctrine, the operational
structure, uh, the mechanics behind how
perception gets shaped at scale. Um,
because it if perception is the
battlefield, then psychological
operations are the artillery. And once
you understand how they work
historically, digitally, and culturally,
a lot of things we've covered on this
show start looking less mysterious and
more strategic. So now we are building
the 14 field manual. So let's do it.
>> Let's do it. And fortunately for us,
there's already a field manual. The
military already wrote one, though. We
could start there. And I think that
that's a great place to start because
the public has this perception of
everything being a scop and they're both
right and wrong because propaganda is a
type of a scop. It is more of an effect
or a tool within scops and we're going
to talk about all of that today and it's
kind of special because this is our 50th
anniversary episode here. kind of
exciting
>> and I think we'll just dive right into
it as always and we can reminisce about
some of the crazy stuff we've talked
about. In the uh meantime, we're also
going to bring up some current events as
examples of some of the things that we
talk about as SCOPS. As we mentioned,
QAnon is probably the best example of a
SCOP we've ever seen. So, I'm sure we'll
be using that as a point of comparison.
So, let's get into it. A scop is short
of course for psychological operation
and this is historically also known as a
miso.
>> Yeah, like miso like you would order in
a Japanese restaurant.
>> Yeah, love it.
>> Which stands for military information
support operations. And here I just want
to make a point that we're going to talk
about information warfare and
intelligence interchangeably sometimes.
And that is very much true. Information
warfare is a type of intelligence
operation. And when you think about
intelligence in whole, I want us all to
remember that intelligence is
information. There's aspects of in the
intelligence world that are sexy like
assassinations or honey traps.
>> Exactly. And those things draw a lot of
attention and they create a lot of
spectacle. But let's remember that
information can cause wars. Like there
was an incident that's very famous that
comes up in psychological operations
discussions in Ethiopia where an
activist was killed and it sparked a war
and the activist's name and address had
been posted on Facebook. So once that
happened his life was in danger and it
brought out like what what is this?
>> Yeah. So, it's important to remember
that information warfare can kill
hundreds of thousands, if not millions
of people. Assassinations usually kill
one, maybe two. Like, you got to
remember the big stuff happens through
propaganda,
>> right?
>> So, it's good that people's eyes are on
that. But a miso or SCOP is a planned
activity designed to convey selected
information to a foreign audience to
influence their emotions, motives,
reasoning, and ultimately their
behavior. Remember, we're talking about
the military version of a SCAP. So, this
is all designed to be done to a foreign
audience. And there is a manual in the
public from China right now called
unrestricted warfare. and they discuss
how do we take on an enemy that is more
technologically and militarily powerful
and financially superior. How do we do
that? And it was clear that they were
talking about the US, but they just
didn't name any names.
>> And this was how it was. You attack from
within. And this has been Russian
doctrine for a long time. They figured
out that if you can't beat them, beat
them from within. Lie, cheat, steal,
destroy, make them destroy each other.
That's the whole idea.
>> Fight and conquer.
>> And as we're going to get into later,
there was an internet research agency in
Russia run by some very shady people
that was training people from all over
the world on how to do this. So that's
why we saw things prop up in France. We
saw things in Canada that looked very
similar to the types of extreme
movements, somewhat far right, but also
just based on a very weird set of
principles that were really all
collectively what Russia wanted them to
say. And a number of other groups that
just wanted to see America and NATO and
the West be reduced in power and be able
to overcome them strategically.
>> Right? We have all been under this
attack for more than a decade now.
>> Yeah. And we're, you know, we're more
intimately uh involved in it now, too,
because social media has become the
number one tool, it seems.
>> In the simplest terms, traditional
warfare targets the physical, like
tanks, buildings, or soldiers. And a
scop targets the mind. So, social media
provides the most easy and accessible
weapon that's ever existed for bad
actors to spread misinformation and
disinformation with intent, which is
what the core objective of a SCOP is.
So, the goal of a SCOP is rarely just to
lie. Lying is a part of it, but that's
not the goal. In fact, military doctrine
often emphasizes that truth is the best
weapon in a scop because credibility is
essential for long-term influence.
>> Ah, right.
>> So, the objective is to change a
target's perception of reality so they
act in a way that benefits the operator.
We've brought up the work of Richard
theme a number of times, real birds in
digital cages. Look him up. great expert
on information warfare and the example
he often uses is in the tobacco
industry. So he said, you know, when the
tobacco industry was dealing with the
fact that science had just figured out
that their product was killing everyone,
you would think that their instinct
would be to push back on the science,
but you would be wrong. Their idea was
just to cast enough doubt. So they
created a bunch of websites, a bunch of
blogs that seemed credible, that had
sort of loosely credible information
that maybe poked holes in the idea that
tobacco may be healthy for you or
something, any sort of fringe science
that they could get, anything. And they
collected it all in one place and then
they amplified it. The goal wasn't to
beat the science because they knew that
they were going to lose and their
product was killing people. The goal was
just to make people question whether the
science was true.
>> Right?
>> And that is a scop. That is a business
that did a scop.
The common goals of a scop are usually
demoralization. You know, you want to
convince your enemy soldiers or
populists that their cause is lost or
their leaders are corrupt. And they want
to encourage desertion and surrender.
They they want to take away your
willingness to fight.
>> Right? And at the same time they want to
build support for a different
legitimization effort like they want to
they want to build support for a
specific government or military presence
among the local civilian population. So
if they recognize that this particular
agency was friendly to their cause or
they had people in that agency that they
owned then they would go okay these are
the people that you really want to
listen to and everyone else is fake
news. Right. Right.
>> And then there is deterrence. So they
want to overstate a force's capability
to resolve or prevent an adversary from
attacking. So they want to make it sound
like these guys are impossible to beat.
You know, here an a good example I would
say is the SS from World War II. They
had this terrible reputation throughout
Germany of being fierce soldiers and
warriors and they still do today. But
talk to military experts and they'll
tell you the SS didn't really win any
big military victories. They had some
small ones, but the major military
German victories were all won by the
wear, the regular German army, not the
SS. So it was all propaganda. And you
know, we can look at the Nazis as being
the godfathers of modern propaganda. And
then there's disruption. And this one
really big in the Russian doctrine and
it's really big all over the west today
which is to create confusion or friction
within an enemy's command structure.
Create confusion and friction. I mean
this is what Russian military and
information warfare is all about.
Destabilize the truth. Destabilize the
truth. That is the one goal. And you can
use other truths to destabilize the
truth. And those are often the most
effective tools. Now let's get into the
three levels of a SCIA. There is the
strategic level. And this scale could be
on a national level. It could be on a
global level. And a good example could
be long-term social media campaigns that
shape a country's public opinion. Like
in the US, this has been going on for a
long time. People have been trying to
shape our public opinion of foreign
actors like Israel, Russia, China,
whomever. Like they are pushing us
constantly to view Taiwan in a certain
way, view Gaza in a certain way, view
the Ukraine in a certain way,
>> right?
>> That is aligned with what they want. And
what's amazing about this, and you and I
were talking about this right before the
podcast, is like why why doesn't
anything get done on this? It's because
they're kicking us right in our free
speech,
>> right?
>> Every time they spread propaganda, we
can see it. You could have intel go,
"Hey, this is Russian propaganda. Stop
spreading it." And people go, "Why are
you trying to stop me from saying what I
want to say?"
>> Right. Right. So, they're using our free
speech against us.
>> Yes. And how do you win? You're wrong
either way. Either you're limiting our
freedom, which makes you look like the
bad guy, and now you're proving their
point that you are the bad guy,
>> right?
>> Or you're letting it run and it just
keeps getting worse. And this is what
happened with QAnon,
>> right?
>> So the first level is strategic. The
second level of a SCOP is operational.
And here the scale is more regional. You
can call it a theater. That's what it
often gets called in military terms or
intelligence terms. This is the theater.
And that could be a region in a specific
country. It could be an entire country.
It could be multiple countries. But
that's where your operations are
happening. And here you'd be delivering
digital messages that support a specific
province or support a specific regional
military campaign or you'd be
distributing leaflets if they didn't
have internet services or broadcasting
it even through a loudspeaker.
>> Right?
And that gets into the tactical part of
it, which is more immediate and local.
Obviously, a loudspeaker is very local.
So, using a loudspeaker on a battlefield
to tell a specific unit how to surrender
safely is a SCOP, but it's one that's
very directed and very local, which
gives us a really good example. Imagine
social media doing that to you,
>> telling you how to surrender every day,
right?
And that's going to get us into the
color of information. Scop professionals
categorize their products or messages
based on how transparent they are about
the source. So a white SCOP is overt and
acknowledged. And the source could be
the US government. It's clearly stated.
It is usually factual and it's meant to
build trust. And as an example of a
white scop, we could use Pam Bondi
screaming in front of the Congress and
the world randomly about the stock
market and the Super Bowl and anything
but what she was asked.
>> Right. Right. Deflection.
>> Deflection. So, if someone's listening
to this in the future, I'm referring to
the attorney general who went up there
and was asked about the Epstein files
and proceeded to deflect in weird, wild,
bimboic ways.
>> Yeah, it was not a good look.
>> So, then we have the gray scop. The
source is ambiguous. It isn't officially
acknowledged, but it isn't necessarily a
lie. It's designed to look like in
independent information. And here we
could use an example, an influencer that
is taking money from a foreign actor in
order to say things that are not
necessarily a lie, but they are counter
to the truth. And here people go, "What
what do you mean by that?" Well, you
you'll see.
>> Yeah.
>> And then the third category of color of
information is a black sigh. And this is
deceptive. It's a message that is
attributed to a source other than the
real one. And the best example of this
is a false flag. And I'll use a famous
historical example of a false flag. The
Reich stag fire in World War II where
Hitler,
>> right,
>> they did it. I mean, everyone's like,
the Nazis maybe started the fire. No,
they started the fire. Like the Nazis
started the fire and then they blamed it
on the Jews and then they said, this is
the reason why we basically have to
declare martial law. And this is
essentially what Trump was trying to do
in Minneapolis.
I heard from multiple sources that Trump
specifically and the administration
specifically chose Minneapolis because
they were already organized due to the
George Floyd protests.
>> Ah okay.
>> And they thought that they were going to
get the type of response that was going
to allow them to declare martial law and
take control of elections and do all the
other stuff. He wanted that to be his
Reich stag fire. So creating chaa chaos
is a is a scop technique.
>> Creating chaos and confusion is the
heartus of Russian
>> scop doctrine.
>> It is everything.
>> Look at their military. Look at their
military against Ukraine. A very small
country. That's not the threat and they
know it. So, if their military isn't the
threat, and yes, they're willing to do
assassinations, but have you ever seen
the guy that were the Russian assassins
in u some of these cases?
>> No,
>> they look like the guy that runs your
local liquor store. They do not look
like James Bond. So,
>> right. Right.
>> These guys are the lowest of the
lowlevel chuds and they go around
spreading poison and things like that.
It's not a big beautiful expensive
intelligence operation the way you would
see in the movies,
>> right?
>> That's not a part of Russian
intelligence doctrine. What is is
spreading chaos and confusion. That is
the entire heart of it. They're like,
"This is the only way we will win. Our
military is down. Our economy is low.
This is the only way we can win is we
are controlled by this propaganda. we
can make everyone else controlled by the
same propaganda. It's their only weapon
on this scale,
>> right?
>> And for those who doubt that, just so we
can kind of keep plowing through. Sean
Ryan actually did a pretty good
documentary on what is a SCOP recently
and they really focused on that. They
focused on the Internet Research Agency
and the origins of that. So, I'm going
to link to that documentary and I invite
you to check it out because Sean Ryan is
basically a MAGA podcaster. He's a right
guy, you know, I mean, he he has
supported some of these propaganda ideas
previously, so now he's calling it out.
And I think that that shows
accountability. And it also shows you
the depth of a scop. Sean Ryan is a
former Navy Seal. He fell for some of
this. Like, it's got into the veteran
community. It's gotten into my friends.
It's been very disturbing to see it. So
we talk about I know military scops but
we're also kind of also discussing how
governments can use scops to basically
control their populations right
>> yes and here again Russia is the best
example because
>> there was a guy named Sarov right and he
was Putin's propaganda minister all the
way until 2020 and he sort of laid the
foundation of a lot of this and his
whole thing was chaos and confusion to
stabilize the truth truth because within
that you can start to create a new
truth. And yes, Trump tried to do this.
Whether it was instinctively or whether
it was strategic and planned is up to
you. But he went out and he said, "This
is all fake news and whatever I'm
telling you is the truth." That is
exactly what Putin did and it worked,
but you have to shut down the other news
sources. And one of the things that
Sarov did, which was evil but genius, is
that they went and they funded a bunch
of far-right and far-left groups that
were counter to Putin.
>> And then they told everybody. So now all
your champions, look at all your
champions, they all work for us.
>> Ah, right. Right. It's very common. It's
often um overused is the is the quote of
flooding the zone, right? And that's
kind of the same model, the Russian
model of chaos where nobody really knows
what the truth is anymore. Um, and you
you look at the other side, you know,
China is kind of the opposite where they
have a very closed propaganda system
where they just want to completely um
isolate their population from
information sources. Yeah, China's is
more based on information control, but
it's not quite as controlled as we would
think in the west. They do have some
free media. We have quite a bit of
Chinese [sighs and gasps]
>> traffic uh to 4TN wins and it's actually
real traffic. It's not just bots.
>> H it would be questionable. I would
question who who has more information
freedom between China and Russia. And
you could even throw us in that mix. Now
I we're you could question how much
information freedom we have because in
the 21st century SCP has moved from
paper leaflets and radio towers to the
internet,
>> right?
>> And the internet is controlled by our
algorithms.
Elon Musk is a good example. So he likes
this post of this guy who is a far-right
ideologue who said someone needs to buy
X and if we buy X we can start
controlling people's minds and
perception this way. He likes this post
years ago and then he buys X.
>> He clearly understood the value of
utilizing X in order to manipulate
perception and then he got up and
bragged about the fact that he did that
in the the 2024 election. right?
>> Daring everyone to prove it. And people
think that they have and you know what's
going to happen there. We'll see. But he
he understood the value of this. And you
can question the legality or illegality
of it. It it's like the Epstein files.
Like look, it's all illegal. That's
that's not the question. We just keep
resurfacing the information because
awareness is the only counter to this
when the law fails. and then enough of
us have to get mad enough to enforce the
law. That's the only thing that we can
do to counter all this. We we received a
comment one time. It was like more
conspiritainment shows. Why do all these
shows talk about the same thing? And I
could tell that it was someone who was
just mad about our point of view on
something. And I didn't respond. Of
course, people are entitled to their
opinions. But at the same time, my
thought was the reason all of these
shows talk about the same thing, if
they're being honest, is because these
things are real. The Epstein files are
real and they're not getting covered by
the mainstream media. So, we have to
talk about them. And conspiracies are
just groups of people doing bad things.
That exists,
>> right? But the goal of someone trying to
call something a conspiracy theory is to
trivialize it. It's to make it sound
like fiction. Right. And
>> Right.
>> You call scops conspiracies.
Some people would because they don't
want to accept the fact that they are
hooked in to a dopamine feed from a
scop.
>> Yeah. Sad but true. These social media
botn nets are using automated accounts
in many cases to trend certain hashtags
or amplify certain narratives. And then
you have the foreign actors. And what
was really interesting recently was when
X to their credit started a new feature
in which they would show you which
country an account originated,
>> right?
And when they did so, you found a bunch
of these MAGA accounts that were coming
from other countries and all over the
place. Nigeria, South Africa,
>> and some of those Yeah. India, a lot
from India.
>> Some of those were bad actors. Most of
them, what I found so fascinating were
just doing it for money.
>> They realized that clicks equal money.
And they realized that these things that
the internet research agency or some
sort of bad actor had figured out were
highclick posts, they were just going to
take those and use those to build
accounts and make money.
>> Sure.
>> So now they were just destroying our
country for for cash.
>> For cash. [laughter]
I mean if you look Yeah. I mean that's
what it is. The algorithms that are
being fed to to us are to make sure that
we stick with that algorithm all day
long and watch it.
>> Yeah, it's not a good source. You have
to follow individuals. I think
everyone's been like, "Well, what's the
solution? What can we trust?" You have
to follow individuals.
>> Find people that you trust. Find people
that are giving you good information and
follow those individuals. And I would
include journalists in that. I follow
individual journalists and when I'm
looking for more information, that's who
I go to. I used to trust the AP's front
page, but now it's been contaminated,
too. I They're all full of headline
manipulation as well. I I don't know
exactly why that happened, and I don't
care. Like, I just don't do that
anymore. I don't use the AP as my scan
unit. There's a place called Ground News
that's pretty good that they tell you
what each place's bias is. Those news
fact checkers, th those are good. You
know that they're all generally doing it
the same way. They're like, "What is
your bias? Are you right or left?
>> How much of that is getting involved in
the narrative?" And, you know, AI's
gotten pretty good to the point where it
can sus a lot of that out. So those are
options. But then I would say mostly
just follow individuals, follow people
that you can trust.
>> When you really start looking into this
stuff, you realize that marketing is a
scop, right? I mean, I always think of
the stories of the communist countries
that always had a a a personal dossier
on every citizen. So if if there was any
suspicious activity or behavior um
reported on you, it would always be in
this um file.
>> And I always thought, you know, our
version of that was basically marketing
profiles where where they would take our
purchasing.
>> Yes. Personas.
>> Yeah, that's what we call them. And it's
exact same. It is the exact same. And my
knowledge of this subject has been
helped exponentially by the fact that I
do the same thing but for money,
>> right?
>> Follow the law and I try to do so as
ethically as possible unlike these guys.
But that's also why my BS detector is so
high for all of it. I'm like, I I
understand what you're doing. I
understand exactly the process that
you're using to test this stuff in. And
the way that they're doing it and what
their goals are, as I've mentioned, are
so much easier than what we want.
>> They just want a click. That's super
easy to get. All you need to do is put a
sensational headline up there. And now
you know that that person is interested
in whatever it is that you put the
headline up. So, if it was something
that was racist, now you know that
person's a racist. If it was something
that was anti-racist, now you know that
person's an anti-racist. And those are
especially the groups that these Russian
types are looking for. They're looking
for opposing groups. And then they
amplify both groups messages. They were
amplifying BLM and they were amplifying
the racist stuff. They were they were
trying to make it as big and as
controversial and as divisive as
possible because they just want to see
us murdering each other in the streets.
>> You think you chose the headline?
That's a scop,
>> right?
>> And what makes us so vulnerable is our
laws, is our constitution. Because under
US law and military doctrine, SCOPs are
supposed to be strictly prohibited from
targeting US citizens. But if you're
like a Michael Flynn and we taught you
how to do scops for 20 years and then
you want to go do it for some
billionaires, right?
>> And you know, nothing stopping you,
>> right? I always think of, you know,
historically think of um how Nixon's FBI
infiltrated the students for a
democratic society back in the 60s. I
mean, that's that's a classic case of of
internal scops.
>> Absolutely. They've done it a number of
times with UFOs and they're not supposed
to. It's against the law.
>> The very famous incident of Richard
Dodie who comes up a lot, still around
in Euphology, and he was an Air Force
officer that was telling Paul Benowitz,
who eventually committed suicide. You
can, you're probably familiar with this
story already, but there's a million UFO
shows about it. and Dodie was feeding
Benowitz information that was
misinformation about UFOs and Benowitz
ended up committing suicide. So the
government in that case was actively
getting involved. Dodie doesn't deny
that he was working for the Air Force
and given orders to misinform.
So that is against the law. We know that
they were doing that for UFOs.
>> And then in the age of the internet,
there's the spillover effect.
where an operation that was meant for a
foreign audience is seen and believed by
people here,
>> right?
>> They spread lies about something that
happened in another country and then
people see it here and start repeating
it. And this remains a huge ethical and
political challenge even in the best of
times. But right now they've thrown
ethics and the law out the window. So,
you know, we all have to be extra
careful,
>> right?
>> But the big takeaway I want you to have
from this part is that the term SCOP is
often used colloquially online to
describe anything that feels like
conspiracy or social engineering. But in
a formal [music] sense, it refers
specifically to the planned professional
application of psychology by a [music]
government or military entity.
>> Right? And we all know that, you know,
there's we have bad actors within our
country that [music] are willing to
basically spread disinformation for
billionaires. [music]
>> Yeah. And they're coming right out of
SCOPS like we said that Michael Flynn,
[music] great example.
>> Yeah.
>> And they're using the same tactics.
[music] So what are those tactics?
First, they have to define the target
audience. And this is exactly what we do
in business. [music] We define our
target audience. Okay, we're going to
sell a new pool cleaner. We know that
that group has got to be wealthy.
They're going to be homeowners. [music]
They're going to be more likely to play
golf. That, you know, a bunch of
different things. We can create
different personas. I'm Jack. I I own a
pool and this is who I am. I'm Stacy. I
own a pool. This is who I am. And then
you just go look for Jacks and Stacy's.
They do the same thing, right? Operators
do not send messages blindly. They use a
specific methodology to [music] identify
psychological vulnerabilities.
Vulnerabilities are not weaknesses.
Vulnerabilities are I [music] need, I
want, I desire. And this is how this is
what makes you vulnerable. What you
need, what you want, what you desire.
And then there's what makes you
susceptible. So first is vulnerability.
Second is susceptibility. And
susceptibility is the [music] degree to
which a target audience can be
influenced by a specific message. Going
back to our pool guy, if you're like, I
own a pool, you're in the target
audience. But if you're like, I am
searching for a new pool cleaner, you're
very susceptible [music] to our message.
Right.
>> Right.
>> And then there's accessibility, which
means that the [music] physical and
digital channels that the target is
using are accessible to [music] you. So,
if you know that that person's always on
Facebook, now I'm hitting that person
over and over again with pool [music]
ads on Facebook, right? Pool cleaning
ads.
>> Right now, let's do that with your uncle
Joe. Your uncle Joe's been out of work
for a year. He's a roofer. [music] He
needs and wants a job. He desires to be
looked at as something more than just
[music] an out of work roofer. and he
clicks on something that says become a
digital warrior for Q. They might look
at his persona and a machine would do
all this, not necessarily a person, and
it would say, okay, Joe is very
susceptible because he [music] has been
clicking on all of this other ancillary
Q related material and some of it
required an email address and Joe has
submitted his email address. Now Joe is
super accessible. You can find Joe on
all the physical and digital channels
that he uses, radio, Telegram, WhatsApp,
whatever. Now you have a direct pipeline
to induce or reinforce foreign attitudes
and behaviors favorable to the target's
objective. And here we could say foreign
would be anything that's foreign to the
person because I think we've now
transcended the idea that SCOPS are only
done globally. But what makes this so
complicated and that we have to layer
all this in is that those global scops
are happening. And then there's people
within the US that are taking advantage
of those different scops like say Steve
Bannon who sees some of the Russian
propaganda as being aligned with his
own. So he starts amplifying the same
message and certain influencers pick up
on that. So then they just kind of form
their own web of disinformation and
misinformation and there's no foreign or
domestic boundary in there. So
>> right,
>> it's just a narrative that's being
pushed with an agenda and that is the
SCOP and you lose the forest for the
trees, right? When this all happens,
>> you have to go wait. All they're trying
to do is destroy the environment. Like
it doesn't really matter. You you got to
just shut out the noise, right? Separate
the signal from the noise,
>> right?
>> Now, the army has a sevenstep scop
process. It involves planning, which is
integrating the SCOP into the larger
military or political goal, and then
it's target audience analysis, and then
it's series development, which means
creating a sequence of messages, not
just a one-off that builds a narrative.
And this is exactly what is done in
business. If you signed up for some
emails from a company, the first one
says, "Hey, welcome. This is what our
products are all about." Like if you
signed up for emails to this fantastic
vegan skincare company, Blissani at
blissani.com, you would get a welcome
that says, "Hey, welcome to Blissani.
Enjoy our fantastic vegan skin care
products like Very Tony or Gemma Crema,
which are both wonderful for wrinkles
and and anti-aging.
This is a scop by the way. I I'm
slipping an ad [laughter] in here. So I
but I want to be transparent with you.
So
and if I said in the next one you can
get 25% off with code 1425
that would be the next message in the
sequence, right? And then the third one
>> after me. [laughter]
>> The third one is 14 wins gets a portion
of every order. There's emotion in that.
Right. There's connection in that.
>> Right. Right. Right. So it it is it
really is like but I want to be
transparent about that. I think we've
always been like because I know I know
what it all is and we refuse to do any
of that on the show and promote like
that like so it feels really good for me
to not do it here and and be
transparent. But that's what series
development is. It's developing a
sequence of messages and business is the
best example of that.
>> Right? But this is how radicalization
works in a lot of different ways. They
start with, "Oh, okay. Well, this is why
you should hate the Jews." And then the
next thing you know, it's like, "Oh,
well, come to our Nazi meeting and join
our fight club. Oh, hey, bomb a power
station." You know, it just escalates
and escalates. And they they have a a
sequence that they use on people who can
potentially be radicalized to that level
and create violence. That's a whole
other thing they call the iceberg theory
and we'll get into that another time.
But the next step after serious
development is product design which is
crafting the actual media. So they have
to create memes, they have to create
headlines and then they test those in.
This is where I wanted to really focus
on what 4chan was for QAnon. It was a
sandbox and that is so essential. You
cannot make any of these campaigns work
unless you can test and get data. And
then once you do, it becomes like a
video game, man. It is not that hard.
You start going, "This one's bigger than
this one." And then in a traditional
SCOP, you would go get approval. And
here, what's important is that that
means someone's in charge. In a military
operation, obviously, that's your higher
command, which would go all the way up
to the president. And in these public
operations, that's the question you
should be asking. Look to see who will
benefit, who benefits from this message,
who benefits from this narrative, from
this headline. If it's disinformation,
sometimes there's stuff that comes out
that benefits one party or the other,
and it's true. Just get over it. Deal
with it. Stop trying to counter it. Your
party is not perfect. Neither one is.
And it's the partisan divide that they
keep pushing on. Another fun little AI
exercise you can do. I know last time I
said, you know, put all these events
from the Epstein files in and ask Gemini
or whatever whether or not these are
coincidental. Ask it to run some actual
statistics and then ask it to counter
that narrative and ask it to do so with
data. You'll see that these things are
very deliberate,
>> right?
do that with the fact that the US has
been basically 5050 for decades in
between the partisans.
>> Yeah. I mean, you can even say that uh
information is used as a shield in a way
instead of just throwing up uh
disinformation at a certain um group of
people. You just have basically a wall
of different disinformation that shields
people away from the truth.
>> Yeah. You contain it. That's the
official term. Yes. Yeah. Right. Right.
>> Once you get approval for the message,
you have to produce and distribute the
message. So that's another aspect to a
psychological operation. It's like who's
going to do that and how. I've mentioned
a number of times that anyone can go
into the National Archives and look at
all the Russian ad buys that they
collected from back in 2016 when they
were trying to manipulate. Look at what
they were trying to manipulate. Look at
what they were trying to say. That
that's important. and they were trying
to push on the partisan divide,
especially the extremes of the partisan
divide. And this worked for them back in
Russia. And we talked about the final
step in the psychological operation
process, which is evaluation. So you
have to see how well and effective it
was. You make tweaks just like we would
to a digital marketing campaign and send
it back out,
>> right? Yeah. I mean the biggest problem
with with all that kind of uh you know
personal data collection that we we keep
talking about is that there are judgment
calls that are that are made using this
information. So you have a, you know, a
behavior profile too, not and a consumer
profile. And there are agencies that
been around for a long time before
social media that that actually tried to
create a consumer profile on you to see
if you were you would be the ideal
employee for companies.
>> Yes. And right now all these privacy
standards are getting clobbered.
>> Palunteer is coming in and saying we can
look at whatever we want. the government
is removing all of these privacy
regulations and it was always the
Republicans who were supposed to be
sticking up for that.
>> Right. Right. But it's becoming more
predictive too, right? I mean the the
new goal really is not just to get this
consumer profile on you but but to
predict your next move.
>> That is the goal.
>> And with
>> Yes.
>> And with with AI it's becoming a lot
more efficient this prediction.
>> Yes. We can already do this in business.
So, Google will do this for us. You can
launch an ad within Google that will
basically go out and look for markers
and Google knows so much about you
because there are so many different
markers based on what you look at and
you click on and they've been collecting
so much data on you and they know how
much money you make and what you're
interested in and it's pretty freaking
advanced. It can go out and predict
whether or not you're a likely shopper
or not. You could remove all of the
shopping stuff. You could input a bunch
of stuff that's social and political and
you can start targeting anyone you want
with whatever message you want or
throwing anyone in jail you want.
>> Yeah. I mean, you could very easily say,
um, you know, give me the group of
people who are most likely to disrupt a
federal operation or who who is more
likely to be an activist.
>> Yeah. So there's one more term here that
they can use to identify psychological
operations and information warfare and
intelligence warfare, but each one of
those terms is important. They're all
referencing the same thing. Propaganda,
too. And we should accept that all of
those terms mean the same thing. And
we'll introduce one more here. It's
called cognitive warfare because this is
a war for your perception. But that is
what they call it. We're calling it war
for your perception. And as we move into
2026, that's what the term has evolved
into.
>> It's the weaponization of brain science.
And like I mentioned in that cicada 3301
stuff, which was an alternate reality
game that preceded Q, that was an awful
lot like Q. That appears to be one form
of experimentation that led to Q. They
were calling this type of human
programming feing. F E E C T I N G if
you want to look that up. And this
cognitive warfare involves
microtargeting or using leaked or
purchased data to send different
psychological messages to individual
people based on their specific
personality traits. And this is the
Cambridge Analytical model. Cambridge
Analytica was a company that famously
was collecting a bunch of data from
Facebook that they weren't supposed to
collect and using it to target people
with exactly these messages.
>> Yeah,
>> that was a SCOP. That was a tool within
a scop. That was propaganda. And they
were especially going after Facebook
groups because once they realized that
the ads would only take them so far and
they didn't have the credibility. The
other part of Russian intelligence
doctrine is to go after influencers, go
after groups, go after priests,
especially clergy. They were targeting
pastors with pro-Russian
pro- farright whatever this Putin
cronyism oligarchic nightmare nihilism
stupidity that this represents. They
were targeting pastors with it and they
were trying to craft different religious
messages which we've talked a lot about.
And this involves reflexive control.
This is a Russian military theory where
you feed an adversary specific
information so that they voluntarily
make a decision that is actually to your
advantage. Like we've talked about
assets and agent. An asset is out there
just doing the thing for you. You're
pushing behind the asset. An agent is
the one who knows that they're involved
in an intelligence operation is actively
pushing the disinformation or
misinformation. So here we could say
influencer on the take, audience of the
influencer on the take. Influencer on
the take is the agent. Audience of the
influencer on the take are the assets or
the other term that gets often used here
is useful idiot.
>> Right?
>> And what they're aiming for here is
information overload. And this is a
defensive scop tactic where you flood
the zone with so much noise and
conflicting data that the target
audience gives up on trying to find the
truth. And this leads to apathy.
It also leads to people creating their
own truths which further fragments the
truth. And that's why people in the
QAnon community were encouraged to do
that.
>> Yeah.
>> First we want to confuse you. Now we
want you all creating your own truth.
Now there's no way to get to the truth.
There's so many different fragmentations
of the original source. It's impossible
to find the original.
>> So John Keel always talked about UFOs as
[music] being a giant scop. I mean, how
do we use that to understand [music]
basically what we know about in the
public record about UFOs,
>> right? What did Keel mean by that? And
now that we understand what a SCOP is,
[music] how does the UFO phenomenon
conform to the structure that we just
laid out,
>> right?
>> Well, let's start with the key goals of
a SCOP and see how they relate to
eupfology. We stated [music] the first
goal was to demoralize the enemy, break
their will. And we could argue that the
UFO phenomenon [music] does this by
appearing in so many different guises.
eventually you just give up and
appearing in so many different [music]
scientific ways like that eventually you
just go we'll never understand this so
>> right
>> let's just move on and then the second
key goal [music] that we laid out from a
side up is to legitimize
allies or regimes or belief systems that
align with your [music] goals and here
we could say that this is possibly what
they are doing with the [music]
extraterrestrial narrative that they are
attempting to legitimize that narrative
or [music] the fairy narrative or the
jin narrative in order to deflect
[music] from what they really are.
>> H yeah.
>> And then there's deterrence, which is
when you're trying to overstate your
force, [music] remember, or trying to
make people feel like opposition is
impossible. And they've certainly done
that with us, right? [music] They've
made us feel like we can't fight back,
that they can walk through walls, go
[music] thousands of miles, they can
appear anywhere. Like, what are we
doing? And I do think [music] that that
is a bluff. I do think that they're
afraid of us on some level and we
[music] just have to figure out why,
right?
>> And then there's disruption. That's the
fourth goal of ASIP. They most certainly
have disrupted us so many times and
[music] in so many different ways and in
many different ways that we're not quite
sure whether or not they did. Like we
talk about the book of Enoch. Let's
[music] go all the way back there and
that sounds a lot like a invasive
species introducing technology to a
species [music] that wasn't ready for
it. They talk in the book of Enoch about
the Nephilim introducing cosmetics and
introducing [music] metallurgy which is
basically like saying they introduce the
concept of deception and war.
>> So if that is a phenomenon related story
and maybe it is maybe it isn't it's a
good allegory to what they do. They
introduce chaos and disruption every
time they appear in someone's life and
that sends that person on a completely
different track.
>> And then what do you have? You have you
have two parties. You have the people
who say it's all fake and you have the
people who say it's all real and you
don't have anyone in the middle thinking
critically about it.
>> Exactly. And now they serve the big goal
of the Russian SCOP program, right? Like
they
fragmented the truth in so many
different ways that you can't see the
forest for the trees.
>> Yeah,
>> you could almost argue that they're
different guises are meimedic. They're
they're almost like different memes. I
think that that's actually a great way
to look at them.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> And memes have power in this world of
information warfare and perception.
>> Yeah. I I see the term meme warfare, you
know, it's just it's a real thing. I
makes me shake my head, but it's a real
thing. Kitty pitchers can uh can destroy
countries
as well. They should. Let's get to it.
America, you've been psyched. You know,
the Epstein files are horrible, but they
present us with a huge opportunity
to not only provide some long overdue
justice to some victims and survivors
who have been denied justice for far too
long. We have the opportunity
to in one fell swoop
clear out this deep state, deep swamp
that everyone was talking about.
>> Yeah. Those Epstein files are like a
Rosetta Stone to every conspiracy that
everyone
has ever even postulated on 4chan.
Putin was funding Marine Le Pen in
France. That's right in line with what
we're talking about. All of that came
out in the Epstein files.
>> Yep.
>> Now you know who. And it wasn't just
Putin. There was definitely MSAD
involved, right? And there was
definitely the CIA involved.
>> Yeah. And a lot of money.
>> And China, too. They're pretty sneaky
about this. Iran got involved in the
foreign action as well. But you could
just chalk that up to saying foreign
actors that want to destroy the United
States. And there is about a list of, I
don't know, at least eight countries
that you could add to that list that are
actively pursuing SCOPS on the US at all
times.
>> Right. Right.
And then you add to that
the internal dipads
who want to control the world. And then
you add to that the ultraterrestrials
that want to control the controllers.
>> And you know, hey, what about me? What
about me and Bones? You're
>> right. [laughter]
All I can say is, hey everyone, don't be
a useful idiot. [laughter]
So the theme of today is hey don't be a
useful idiot after 50 episodes
[laughter and gasps] uh you know
covering so many topics from uh you know
from the UFOs to disclosure to the
Epstein files and QAnon
you know I think we've covered a lot.
>> Yeah. What a crazy ride this has been.
We've quit at least twice and we're
still here. [laughter]
>> Right.
>> Right.
I was talking to one of our silent
partners who works on a lot of the
videos who actually did a little song
for us for our 50th episode. He did use
AI to help, but he used your music and
all of our research in order to create
the song. We thought it was pretty cool.
So, we're going to close the show. But,
uh,
>> he always refers to us as Bad Shrimp.
He's like, you know, you listen to the
show, you're like, "Hey, that was pretty
good." And then like a day later starts
to hit you. [laughter]
>> Like
>> I see.
>> I feel like
>> we don't leave we don't leave a bad
taste in anyone's mouth. We just uh
we're we're planting some seeds.
>> We're unsettling. I think was the point.
>> Okay. Okay.
>> We're subtly unsettling. Like you think
you think it was just a show and then
you go,
>> "Oh gosh." Uh you know, a day later. And
if we're hitting that note, that's
exactly where I want to be because, you
know, some folks we talked about how
some folks ask us like, "Why why don't
people know more about you?" And some of
that is our fault. Like, we definitely
desensationalize the hell out of this
show because we think all of it gets
over sensationalized and then it looks
like BS,
>> right?
>> And we also think the community's just
been led around by the nose for far too
long. Like, and here's an example of a
show that I like that we all like called
The Y Files. And I'm sure those of you
out there interested in the phenomenon
have seen it. And that's like our
version of ancient aliens around here.
And I like that show cuz in the end, he
does talk about Real's research and his
point of view on whether whatever the
topic was was real or not. And I give
him a lot of credit for that. But he
tells you a 20 25 minute story about
whatever it is before he tells you the
truth. And we would never do that here,
you know?
>> Right. Right.
>> It makes for a good show. It makes for a
good story,
>> but that's not at all what we're about.
That's why we bury the lead. And as we
were talking with our friend who did the
song, he was saying how that's always
going to prevent us from being a more
commercial show like that that and
that's okay. I think what we all decided
is this show is going to remain as is
and we are working on some videos that
will allow us to be a little bit more
narrative friendly and still say what we
want to say. But this show is always
going to be truth straight to your
veins.
>> Yeah, right on. I mean, we we cover so
many topics, too. I mean, it's not just
uh high strangers and UFOs. And we talk
about theology. We talk about we talk
about cultural traditions, you know, we
we talk about so many things and uh
they're all relevant and they all tie
together and I I think what we're doing
is good. I think uh we're on the right
track.
>> Yeah, I really enjoyed that this show
has given me an opportunity to learn. I
hope that it I've been able to pass on
some things that I've learned to you
because I think these are things that
we're all curious about.
I know we say it all the time, but thank
you. Thank you for listening.
>> Yeah, for sure. Thanks everyone for
listening. We can't uh really thank you
enough. So, to uh 50 more episodes,
Ramx.
>> Oh my gosh. Can you imagine? Like, think
about where we started in episode 1 and
where we got to in episode 50. And yeah,
I had some idea of where we were going,
but nowhere near where we ended up. And
that is fascinating. That is something I
hope that people like about the show
because to me that's authentic research.
You're you're not going to get it right.
Like just go in there, stick your head
in, start looking around, start trying
to make pieces fit, and then eventually
the truth will reveal itself.
[laughter]
>> Cue the music.
>> Cue the music.
>> Yeah. Right.
>> All right, everyone. That's episode 50.
