I am so fascinated by the Institute for Propaganda Analysis. It was set up before the WW2 to teach the american public about propaganda. Many academics and researchers sought to educate the people in the face of (mainly) foreign related psyops. To understand how it works and inoculate against it.

It was abolished because the Americans no longer wanted to be independent and keep to themselves and desired to go to war.

In other words, the USA had a national program to educate the public about the dangers of psyops, to see the signs and to resist but they abolished it because they wanted to do psyops themselves.

None of the examples given are psyops. A psyop is a military operation. This person has wasted a great deal of their time.

The problem is that they won't read this. We need something simpler, like a pop-up book..
