between the military and the media. Great care should be taken when developing a compelling story, to insure that the basic facts are true. Lies and partial truths will be found out. To be effective in the long run, it is absolutely necessary to be well grounded in facts. Spectacular stories may have immediate impact but, when found to be false they do far more damage to institutional credibility." John goes on to cite examples in relation to the Desert Storm stories of babies being thrown from incubators. Moving on to page 112 John has this to say, "We know that world leaders obtain much information form CNN. In major campaigns, other news organizations follow their lead. Employing perception management techniques includes gaining the willing support of the major news organizations. This is a tedious process that must be developed over many years through trusting relationships." On page 113 John says, "The target of IW is the human mind. The only logical solution is to acknowledge perception management and execute it well. Of all the IW issues, perception management is the most demanding, contentious, and necessary." As John has pointed out so well, the media is a powerful tool of perception management a major tenet of the National Insecurity State and things are not always what they seem. The black magician the master of deceit and illusion is a deluded creature who's thinking and actions are based on very basic conceptual errors. John says the objective of war is to impose ones will on an adversary. The error in this instance is that John is not being specific enough. The statement should be, the objective of the predator, the black magician is impose its will on the prey. The objective of war for the white magician like the prey is to ethically defend against this imposition of will being exercised offensively by the predator. This is a fine point but its critical. Only the predator imposes will, not the potential prey. A much more significant and crucial conceptual error that warriors like John make that is foundational to the National Insecurity State that I have touched on in other articles is that a dangerous deceptive adversary can only be defeated by employing even more dangerous and deceptive tactics. As I have pointed out elsewhere, this is a very major conceptual error that may defeat the adversary externally, only to find out that the real adversary delusion, error, has simply been moved from without to within. Delusion is a psychological disease affecting the mind and to attack it in the same way it attacks you is madness! The disease is contagious. Conceptual errors are the foundation of delusion and are perpetrated upon others in mass by the deluded through information warfare across the mental battlefield. We can gauge the state of collective delusion within society by observing the language of society. Orwell pointed this out very well in his writings. I think we could say that the degree to which words are perverted reflects the degree of perversion and delusion within society. For instance, the National Security State is really the National Insecurity State, a state based on lies, fear and deception. Some words still have their correct meaning like, Department of War. If and when the Department of War inverts and becomes the Department of Peace watch out! The most sophisticated info-war adversary subverts language. In exopolitics why do you think those with military connections replaced the term flying saucer with UFO once the truth was know by the military? The term flying saucer means extraterrestrial spaceship a known object. The term UFO degrades the term flying saucer to Unidentified Flying Object when in fact the objects have been identified by the military as extraterrestrial spaceships. 155
