Why the Birth Certificate Issue Might be a PSYOP

As the dollar plunges, nearly half a million people are applying for unemployment and commodities like gold rise to record highs, people are arguing over the validity of a birth certificate. Not only is this a perfect distraction when we are waging four unnecessary and illegal wars around the globe and have a maturing black hole of debt consuming our nation but it also is an astoundingly effective tool for creating division.
One of the most indicative factors behind this issue is that it has somehow been twisted into an issue about race. What race has to do with the possibility of being born in a foreign country I do not know. Apparently the only people born in foreign countries are minorities, or at least that is what Whoopi Goldberg thinks.
Please do not take this for an endorsement of Trump by any means. I think Trump is a complete joke and a total imbecile, as I explicated in this article. Honestly I find Trump insulting to my intelligence. It is as if he thinks everyone is too ignorant to remember his support of the Democratic party, his support of land-grabbing for his casinos and his horrible business decisions. Just because you have a show on NBC which somehow garners enough empty-headed buffoons to be considered a success, you’re not a legitimate politician.
The part that I take issue with is Goldberg’s conflation of the Constitutional necessity for a president to be a natural born citizen with an issue of race. How is this even possible? It makes so little sense to me I can’t even try to find a line of reasoning behind it. It is like calling someone racist for criticizing Obama’s hypocrisy, something which results in me having to explain that racism is not a one-way street. By calling a caucasian racist for criticizing the policies of POTUS Obama, you are incredibly racist. The fact that people don’t understand that is absolutely astonishing yet it goes on constantly just like people being called anti-Semitic for criticizing the human rights violations perpetrated by Israel, the weapons proliferation, and their total disregard for international law. None of this has anything to do with race and if this birth certificate is a PSYOP, a Psychological Operation, it is a highly effective campaign.
For those not familiar, let us look at a brief description of what exactly PSYOPs are:
Psychological operations are planned propaganda operations to convey selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behaviour of foreign governments, organisations, groups, and individuals. [Source]
Now, obviously in this official DOD definition they stipulate “foreign audiences” but in reality it has been used on domestic audiences, even United States senators. This is only one instance but it clearly shows the fact that PSYOPs are not a solely foreign endeavor and one must not make a large logical leap to see why. If these can be used effectively to sway opinion overseas, why wouldn’t they be used to influence domestic issues?
I think it would be silly to assume that the only instances of PSYOPs being employed on American soil are the instances that have been exposed. This birth certificate nonsense has every hallmark of a carefully planned Psychological Operation, evidenced by the huge controversy, massive media attention, and heated opinions on the subject. While people are arguing about the legitimacy of the birth certificate or wasting hours trying to discern if it is fraudulent, they are ignoring the plunging dollar, the situations in Afghanistan and Pakistan where our long-time allies are starting to pull away along with the war of aggression in Libya, and the circumstances in Syria, Yemen, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
While distracting people from these issues the birth certificate argument also is being used to convince African-Americans that it is racist to question the policies of an individual based on the color of their skin. The injection of race into this issue is a great way to divide people along lines of skin pigmentation, making African-Americans think they are supporting a racist movement if they question Obama’s providence. This is so absurd I cannot understand how people of all races are outraged by this conflation of two wholly separate issues. Would it be racist to ask to see a Caucasian person’s birth certificate if there was doubts about their country of birth? According to Whoopi Goldberg and many-a-website, yes, it would be racist because only racists care about the Constitution. Additionally, if anyone has doubts about the status of a possibly foreign born politician, they are racist because only African-Americans are born in foreign countries? The logic behind turning this into a race issue completely eludes me. If someone could enlighten me as to how this is racist in any sense of the word, I would greatly appreciate it.
Now why exactly would this be a PSYOP other than the divisive and polarizing nature of the issue?
There are a few logical possibilities but the most realistic one is that it will be used to sacrifice Obama on the altar of the false political paradigm to which we are subjected. That is to say that he could take the fall and all of the blame for the policies enacted during his regime and we would have yet another supposed savior sold to us, just like Obama was sold to us to replace the train-wreck that was the Bush administration. If it comes out that he put out a faked birth certificate, he would be instantly discredited and the talking heads on corporate special interest media television programs would be able to say, “look! This liar did all of this bad stuff! It was only him! Now all we need is a real politician to take the reigns and fix it.” While completely ignoring the real issues like the private Federal Reserve, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderberg Group, etc. While people are fixated on placing the blame on the head of the teleprompter reading puppets, these shadowy groups will continue to be able to deceive America.
Wake up and you might start seeing the PSYOPs around you and how manufactured dissent and controlled opposition are utilized by the United States to covertly influence citizens.
If you want to know more on this subject, I recommend this hour and a half long documentary called PsyWar. It covers many famous recent PSYOPs like the engineered toppling of Saddam Hussein’s statue and more.

thanks !! very helpful post!
I’m someone who’s actually served in Army PSYOP in Iraq and you come across as a fucking buffoon. Seriously, seek medical attention, modern schizo meds are said to do wonders. Too much television, Hollywood movies and dumb-ass conspiracy websites. Idiot.

Thank you for your thoroughly mature, rational and highly supported argument.
Just a tip, if you want to come off as remotely intelligent, you might try presenting some support for your claims instead of falling back on tired ad hominem tactics. Then again, maybe they don’t teach you logic or logical fallacies in “Army PSYOP” training.
Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to attempt to deride my work by presenting zero facts and utilizing fallacious logic. I hope next time you can attempt to be accurate and mature, but that might be expecting too much.
You might also want to explore some of my work so next time you don’t post pure conjecture and outright falsehoods. But, based on your reliance on ad hom attacks and hilariously inutile arguments and your utilization of the accusation of mental health issues, you probably have no interest in engaging in meaningful discussion. Whoops, looks like I’m starting to stoop to your level. Seriously though, if you have any interest in discussing your opinion like an adult instead of accusing people of being insane, watching too much TV and “dumb-ass conspiracy websites” I’d love to speak with you.
P.S. They are actually anti-psychotic medications, not “schizo meds” as that would imply they are medications that give one schizophrenia. Furthermore, schizophrenia is part of a continuum of psychotic disorders, thus there are not “schizo meds” but instead anti-psychotic medications that treat a wide range of psychotic disorders. Again, you might want to read or perhaps apply some far-too-uncommon sense next time you attack someone.
Take care and thanks again for reminding me that there are still people out there who fail to employ even the most basic in logical faculties!
