I love the fact that the article's author could'nt be bothered with a single word of skepticism. So, so lame. Also I love how we actually have a law which prevents them from targeting americans with psyops. I'm proposing a law to prevent them from using unicorn poop to spread patriotism.

?? PsyOps is just short for psychological warfare (not psychic). Their tactics include spreading false information and trying to anger enemies into making bad tactical decisions. These are the geniuses who blasted annoying sounds and music through loudspeakers during the Waco standoff. Dropping propaganda leaflets prior to a bombing campaign would be another example of the sort of things they do.
