Psychology of War #OSINT

When you become stressed, your body undergoes a series of changes that are designed to protect you. When exposed to a perceived or real “danger”, your Sympathetic Nervous System becomes Activated. cont.

During activation, your body begins releasing stress hormones designed to increase your ability to fight whatever is attacking you, freeze to avoid being attacked or the ability to run like hell away from the “danger”.

A consequence of this, is the ability to reason and respond vs. react diminishes.

The Sympathetic Nervous System is designed to only be activated for short stints of time as it requires a significant amount of energy and hormones that are easily exhausted.

During wartime, this systemic response, never gets an opportunity to turn off because the “danger” does not stop.

Combined with the nutritional deficiencies that are common with food shortages and increased caloric need of war and the lack of restful sleep, one’s ability to differentiate truth from falsehoods also becomes diminished.

It does not take long before we become all ID and primal. Right now, every living human in the Ukraine is having this experience.

In addition, any previous traumatic experiences will make this experience far worse.

Power of Propaganda

Propaganda is a form of psychological warfare. Defined as a biased media used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view, can also be a form if gaslighting.

Gaslighting is a form of abuse that causes someone to doubt their sanity or perceptions. Often discussed in relationships that involve various forms of domestic abuse, there are many forms and all of them are used in warfare.

Forms of Gaslighting are: Reality Manipulation, Direct Lies, Coercion, Manipulative Pressure, Emotional Blackmail, Bullying and Violence, Domestic Gaslighting, Feministic/Incel Gaslighting, Financial Gaslighting,

Friendship and Isolation Gaslighting, Gender Gaslighting, Government Gaslighting, Media Gaslighting, Narcissistic Gaslighting, and Generational /Parental Gaslighting.

Dictators like Putin use Media and Government Gaslighting via State TV, Internet and media censorship and isolation. This is important to understand because individuals make choices and develop their value system based upon their social experiences and education.

Russia has three generations of State-run media. Even after the fall of the Soviet Union, freedom is not what they experienced.

Thus, when approaching Russian citizens, we must understand that they have only the tools they have been given and we are asking them to stop believing in everything they know.

The number one motivator of all human behavior is a sense of belonging to the group and it is always a struggle to be the one to start dissent.

The Older generation remembers WWII as the “Great Patriotic War” May 9th is a special holiday for this.

Generation X remembers the chaos of both the cold war and the economic crisis that resulted from Glasnost and the fall of the iron curtain

Generation Z and Millennials have more access to data and are more open but also are heavily influenced by Russian Influencers on social media.

We are asking them to lose the war, asking them to risk the lives of their families by asking them to dissent. They know when they lose the war, their country is going into a humanitarian and economic crisis.

Everything in Russia is monitored, it is a police state where people disappear overnight for having opinions. Unless someone is very cybersecurity and computer savvy, they are in danger all of the time with what they say and do.

When we chat with Russian Citizens, we need to expect that we will get a Z in response. Do not see it as an insult, see it as communicating to you that they are being monitored. It only takes one voice to start a revolution.

We already have seen some of them sabotaging factories and starting fires. We KNOW we have our folks on the inside also. We KNOW that contact is working.

Propaganda is the winner of wars. We need to use whatever tools we have to keep it up: Art, Media, #Anonymous, Social Media. All of it.

Propaganda is the one tool of war that can win battles without a single drop of blood spilt.

Russian Citizens are Victims of Government Domestic Violence

The Russian citizens are victims of a malignant narcissist dictator who has managed to isolate them and gaslight them

no different than a partner of domestic violence, except that his power and influence blanket a vast population rather than just a single human.

Putin has used coercion, isolation, reality manipulation, and violence with his own citizens to keep them as economic slaves for his own needs. He sees all humans as objects to be exploited for his desires and all humans are disposable.

Men like Putin, who see empathy as weakness, will exploit yours to achieve their goals. They will always attack the helpless and vulnerable so that you will feel the need to save them. Sadism is part of his pathology.

Putin considers those who follow the "rules of war" as weak and will NEVER work within those lines. He will use the empathy of his enemies to destroy them if he can. #OSINT The only crime in war, is a loss and that is not an option.

Putin will never admit to a loss, and he is at a stage in his pathology where he believes he has nothing to lose. It allows him to believe that he is immortal,

indestructible, and genuinely entitled to taking whatever he wishes. The entitlement is evident in the amount of contempt we see in every video of him discussing the conflict.

His sadistic side delights in the pleasure, sexual and otherwise, on the level of suffering, especially to the weak, he can create. Although he is frustrated with the length and losses of this war, he loves the media covering the amount of pain he causes.

Working on a long string of data as I am able to tweet them out.

State Run Media is on overdrive right now and even keeps rerunning a documentary on how differentiate between lies and truth online, that is an instruction manual on how to remain gaslit.

Joining the previous thread about the Sympathetic Nervous System, Russian Citizens have had their activated regularly and due to the amount of gaslighting that occurs, paranoia is part of daily culture. Trusting is something that you do not do especially if it involves the state.

What they do know, is that they stay safe if they do not do anything that resembles dissent from Putin and Mother Russia.

Looking at Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs, I want you to notice that safety and security are almost at the bottom, above food and water. The Russian people rarely have security unless they fall in line. The Ukrainians have none of these needs on any level met anymore.

To get someone to hear you, one must meet them at their need level. A starving person will respond to access to food or someone who has a child in the front lines will want to hear that their child is safe.

However, the west has been dehumanized and nazified by to state tv. The west is trying to destroy all of Russia and Putin is their only hope. The war is only starting to be felt by the citizens who do not have family on the front line. Their world is starting to fall apart.

Medical System: COVID and Tuberculosis outbreaks are a disaster. Sputnik is a subpar vaccine and not helping very much with this. Their medical supplies are starting to run out, and this includes lifesaving medications. Many HCWs have been sent to the war hospital camps.

Economic Sanctions: Most of these will take a long time for the people to feel except that there is a significant amount of trade that has disappeared, and food shortages and supply line issues are happening. There is no travel happening as they want their citizens locked in.

The Digital Iron Curtain: Putin has banned and criminalized the use of tools such as VPNs and is actively working towards cutting the Russian people off the Worldwide Web in order to further isolate them.

Censorship is an important tool for government gaslighting. Additionally, the Russian Cyber Army is creating nasty virus packages which are created to attack our social media networks. Look out FB, Twitter, Telegram and so on

State TV is being very open about this and eliciting more fear in the citizens.

We all know the disaster of catfishing, imagine if it turned out to be a government agent hunting for dissenters? The people are TERRIFIED

When you fuck up in Russia, it is not just you that is punished, your entire family will be affected in so many ways. Sometimes death is the easiest punishment.

Putin is at a stage in his pathology where has gone completely ID or Savage. He is now at the space where only complete success, and that includes the West is the only option. We passed the point of no return a few weeks ago. He will NEVER give up until he burns it down first.

The most dangerous time for an abused lover, is when they leave. Often this is when murders happen. These abusers would rather murder their ex-partner and/or their children than lose. They would rather burn it all to the ground rather than not have their object.

Putin is so embarrassed in front of the world. He sees that everyone is against him and pushing him into the corner. He has changed his demeanor in the last 24-48 hours. He is calmer and less pale. He has made peace with this decision to burn it down.

This is very common to see in people with his pathology the moments before they commit their murder, it is like the heavy weight of shame no longer holds them down and the pain will be over soon.

We need to take this as a red flag that he is about to create a significant crisis. May 9th and preparing for the nuclear option has been all over Russian Propaganda websites and State TV media.

The current conversation is stating that the West is trying to destroy Russia and nuclear option is a far better option to wrap up this war and Russia is well prepared for that.

Also, Putin LOVES his sadistic war toys. He loves poisons, dirty bombs, chemicals. He delights in suffering and is eager to use all these tools. The more defeat he sees, the more destructive he will be. He likes to fight dirty.

Russian propaganda is blaming the West on the food shortages and economic crisis. They are showing Russian citizens saying that they cannot work because of the US and they will starve to death if Putin does not win the war.

It also notes that all of the #WarCrimes that the West is reporting, are all being done by the US, NATO, and Ukrainians

Power and Control: Survivors as War Propaganda
Rape and pillaging have been part of the culture of war for centuries. Rape during war time is never about sexual pleasure or getting off, it is about power, control and humiliation.

Included in his sadistic Wishlist of delights, Putin loves the thought of influencing others to do his sadistic dirty work.

He has special units in his military whose role is solely to illicit terror in survivors and send them off to share their horror stories with others. Like a publicity squad to spread terror to the villages as they prepare to storm them.

Putin specifically orders his soldiers to rape and humiliate civilians. Cruelty and sexual violence are encouraged, rewarded, and part of the job of these post bombing or conflict pillagers.

Often these men will wear the uniform or colors of the enemy in order to fool unsuspecting civilians.

It is always important to have enemy survivors who are programmed to spread fear to other civilians, it helps discourage people from confrontation when they enter other villages. I

I understand that these soldiers are also being encouraged to record and post these experiences. Especially if they can make it look like an enemy committing the atrocity.

Survivors become part of the propaganda machine. Woman and Children are individuals are hand selected because they are vulnerable, and they will illicit an emotional response from those they speak with. This is another exploitation of empathy.

The vast majority if the Russian infantry are young men between the ages of 17-26. Biologically, they brains are not yet completely developed, and many have not yet had the life experience needed to have earned wisdom, empathy, and humility.

They have been raised by Russian State TV and the generational fears of their parents and grandparents.

Those who do not participate are humiliated and accused of homosexuality which is punishable by death. Thus, these young impressionable men, are coerced into this sadistic nightmare.

Let me also remind you that the number one motivator for all human behavior is a sense of belonging to the group.

Survivors are not going to want to report these things. Imagine that your home and everything you love is destroyed, then someone or more than one person decide you fill your body holes with painful objects, including themselves.

They are unwashed, cruel, and do unspeakable things. It needs to be assumed that all women and most children will have experienced something like this during war. Vulnerable humans from both sides will be victimized.

Survivors will not trust men and will not want to share the disgust and shame of these experiences. Until she is sick or pregnant and then needs more medical intervention. I say men, because these Russian soldiers are men.

Putin's lover and children have returned to Moscow and have left Switzerland. This is terrifying as that means he brought them home to bunker down.
