And in fact, there's so much economic entanglement in the world that it's very difficult to actually disrupt another nation so significantly because you're disrupting your own market. So that leads us to this new type, this new iteration of warfare, which is the cognitive domain. Essentially, it's a war of media, a war of ideas, and a war of attempting to divide populations against populations.

Yeah. And to use the cognitive domain, essentially like the gray zone warfare in People's Gray Matter.

And to occupy the space between people's ears in order to achieve some sort of strategic gain. So a lot of what I'm looking at is, you know, how does the United States work to shield itself from any attacks in the information space? Because one of the... biggest assets we have as a country is our freedom of speech.

Uh, but that also leaves our information space massively open to any sort of incursion by, uh, by potentially belligerent actors. In fact, there was this one, uh, psychological operation. I think the, uh, the, uh, the agent who did it was a guy named Yvonne. Um, this was in the 1960s. Um, And he essentially had created this fake treasure trove of Nazi documents.

They were all fake Nazi documents and he dumped them into a lake in Czechoslovakia at the time. And then he hired a real,

um news team to to unearth them and and say yeah and and so the goal was basically to uh to sort of acknowledge some sort of complicity uh with the the newly western government um and say hey you know like these guys were working with the nazis granted all of these documents were fake sometimes this operation this is called operation neptune sometimes called the fake in the lake um

Oh, it was in the 60s, I want to say. If you want to read about it, definitely recommend Active Measures by Thomas Ridd. Fantastic book. But he has this one, the Agayans has this one absolute banger line in it where he says something like, you know, it's great that they have freedom of the press. If they didn't, we'd have to invent it for them.
