will seek cognitive manipulation and control of enemies.
Other weapons it is working on include “genetic drugs” — pharmaceuticals designed to modify the genetic and physiological makeup of people and seek to impact cognitive, emotional, and behavioral traits.
Source? A think tank said so.
Oh no china hit me with the lullaby ray
I saw China’s military in the closet making brain weapons and I saw one of the brain weapons and the brain weapon looked at me
The concept of brainwashing was invented— by a CIA agent posing as a journalist— precisely because Westerners needed a way to reflexively dismiss the phenomenon whereby their own troops were being persuaded of communist ideas during communist captivity:
The idea of “brain-washing” can be credited to Edward Hunter, a CIA-funded writer and editor, who in 1950 started writing articles and books on the subject. His thesis was that Red China and the Soviet Union could control the minds of their respective citizenry— which explained how susceptible Americans captured on foreign soil would be. [11]
This new category, supposedly qualitatively different from normal ideology acquisition, itself turns out to be simply an ideological distinction without a difference.

“Could it be that our butchery is morally bankrupt, and that our adversary has good ideas? No, they must be mind controlling our people”
I like how American propaganda is more likely to be like “the reds are evil wizards” than aknowledging that socialism is a good idea.

This think tank is literally three US military ghouls.
What a grift
Wish I could get paid to make up bullshit China is doing
“Oh yeah, they’re building a giant memorial to Mao that hypnotizes anyone who gazes upon it for longer than 5 seconds”
Gonna make a thinktank, as a bit.
What is a thinktank anyway? They’re websites that call themselves thinktanks that “publish” papers they make the fuck up every now and then.
They’re totally bullshit organisations invented for the purposes of creating deniability for the state that something came from a third party and not from themselves. Despite the fact that states are funding the thinktanks they’re “independent”.
