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.
