> How do you feel about psyops deployed domestically, against US citizens?

Short answer is that PsyOp is not used domestically.

There are a number of criteria for something to be considered actual factual psyop activity, and a private company attempting to influence US citizens would automatically fall short of those criteria. My work was done exclusively and entirely in Afghanistan.

Should also add that I detest those kinds of influence operations. Much like hacking, there is white, grey, and black classified activities [0]. I'm a bit old-fashioned and prefer to stick toward the white hat side and dabble elsewhere only when necessary, and not treat it like a fair selection.

Wouldn't it likely be an agency performing domestic PysOps, not the military? And I would guess that it would be TS/SCI or higher, so not really known.

Why assume the government is doing it domestically? Plenty of political organizations and lobby groups exist for this exact purpose.

Well, the fact that the CIA was recently exposed as running a mass domestic surveillance program is pretty good circumstantial evidence. Political/lobby/corporate interests are definitely doing it too. The commercial ones may even be selling it to the government.

This would be giving the benefit of the doubt that is completely unearned.

Still waiting on proof that Saddam bayoneted babies in Kuwait, and hid WMDs in the desert.

This is not true.

Operation Mockingbird is one example:
