False information and conspiracy theory
If information is delivered in the name of the government that would increase its power.
Do you know what means the term "false-flag information"? That information is often false, but it is delivered in the name of the government. And one of the most effective ways to use this kind of method is to search the reporter, who "wants to believe" and then give some faked report, what is stolen from the "paper garbage" of Pentagon.
The world is full of people who are believing, that they can resist propaganda, and one thing is sure. Those people are also the most vulnerable to propaganda. The first thing, that propaganda maker must find is a person, whose trust to government is becoming lower, and one of those things, what would lower the trust for the government is the punishment, what person himself or some family member or close friend has been got.
We all want to believe the best of our friends or family members. And if our best friend or brother would go to jail for crimes, we are automatically searching the reason for that from somewhere else. And we want to believe that the evidence, what is shown in the courtroom are faked. We are always selecting the right people to our friends, we don't spend time with drug dealers and we are not calling murderers and rapists to lunch with ourselves.
So the person who sits in jail might claim that police believed the victim of raping before that person was a member of the minority. And of course, all investigators were members of minority too. If that person is our good friend we want to believe that rapist or drug dealer. We cannot confess that our friend has made crimes. That is impossible because all our friends are wearing slips in the office. So that means that police and government are setting up our friends.
We are hard to confess our mistakes
In our mid is forming the vision, that the detective who has investigated that crime was, of course, some trainee, and this kind of situation causes that we want to find the imprisonment of our friend in some kind of conspiracy. And then the story is starting to grow in our mind, and of course, that thing would turn that entire government is corrupted organization what just limits the freedom of the people.
And if we are members of certain motorcycle gangs, we might be stopped very often, but the reason for that is always in the attitudes of authorities. The attitude of the police is always that the motorcyclists are breaking the law, or this is the story, what we are telling to our mother when she sees that police is checking our identities when we are riding our choppers gang logos on the back.
Those Nazis don't understand freedom, and there is nothing wrong with us. The membership of the gang is hard to get, and the motorbike is quite expensive, and would we want to say, that we are making the wrong choice? So we want to look at the problem from other people, who are just not tolerating that we want to be the only motorcycle club on Earth.
Conspiracy theories are giving us something, what we can prosecute
The false information delivery is the thing, that always is called "conspiracy theory". The problem is that those terms are not the same, and they are not synonyms. "Conspiracy theories" are consisting of many types of theories or non-proven things, what is seeming good in the eyes of the people. When we are facing things like COVID-19 the conspiracy theories like delivering viruses in purpose are offering people something, what they can take to court.
And that thing is the reason, why some of those theories are so popular. The thing is that the term "conspiracy theory" is also part of the information warfare, which is also called as PSY-OP in the military world. Somehow we are always scared about that kind of an operation because we always want to show that we use criticism, and we are adult people.
What if somebody lies to us and plays a member of a governmental actor, and we are believing those lies? Are we somehow stupid, because we are believing a person, who might play police or "source of Kremlin" in social media?
People always believe that they are immune to propaganda, but they forget that there are many ways to pass the protective system in their brains. And the thing that we are forgetting is that if we want to fight against information operations, we must confess one thing. We are all humans and make mistakes. So this means that we can sometimes error estimating some things, what we are seeing. If behind the propaganda is the organization, what is lead by the government like in the Russian "troll factory", that thing is also a tough point for us.
In western society, governments usually share the right information, but the same thing doesn't happen everywhere in the world. So if the propaganda has been delivered in the name of the government that thing makes it harder to resist. And the thing that some private operators like Ku-Klux Klan and other far-wing radicals are also playing, that they are working for some governments, which makes them look more powerful.
We always believe that highly educated people are good-willing and serving us. They are doctors, lawyers, and businessmen, who are above all evilness. And suddenly some kind of psychologists come and deliver us the false information, what we cannot resist.
The first thing, what we should do, if we are resisting propaganda is to confess that somebody has cheated us.
Do you know why it's so difficult to resist the psychological operation, what is the scientific term for propaganda? The thing is that we cannot say or we are very difficult to say that "we are wrong". This is the effect of the psychological operation. Let's take one example. We all know that Vladimir Putin is not a western-style democratic leader. But what if many of our investments are in Russia?
Would we want to go in front of our family and say "hi I'm a supporter of Kremlin authoritarian leader"? I think that answer is "no". We should confess that we are making mistakes or acting against the principles of western democracy. And this is one way to make propaganda. Try to affect people, who are in charge and the leading position. The key is that the person who is a leader would force the henchmen to keep their mouth shut.
Another way to make propaganda is just to tell the half-truth. That means that when the media is talking about agent provocateurs or riot provocateurs, who are starting to throw the Molotov-cocktails against police and give justification to crush the riot, we always forget to mention, that those people might be opposite side sympathizers, who are working as the independent actors.
