What is a Psyop? Are we being played or is it just a Conspiracy? #covert

Psychological Operation (PSYOP):
A psychological operation is a form of warfare or strategic communication intended to influence behaviors of a target audience.
PSYOPs can involve the dissemination of information, propaganda, misinformation, or disinformation through various channels such as mass media, social media, leaflets, broadcasts, or word of mouth.
The primary objective of a psychological operation is to shape the opinions, attitudes, and behaviors of individuals or groups in order to achieve strategic or military objectives.
PSYOPs are often conducted by governments, military organizations, intelligence agencies, or other entities seeking to achieve political, military, or ideological goals.
