Psywar patch

Unusually for an American government satellite, the agency responsible for operating the spacecraft has not been disclosed. PAN is also the name of an ancient horned god important in occultism and that has a strange link with the history of rocket science in the United States.

He was a prominent member of the Ordo Templi Orienti the O. This is a patch for a NRO spy-satellite launch. Those familiar with this site will probably recognize this Illuminati symbolism: An unfinished pyramid topped by the All-Seeing Eye.

This All-Seeing Eye requires help: it needs spy satellites to be even more all-seeing. The patch of this mission features a creepy-looking figure in a creepy hood looking over the earth with creepy eyes, staring creepily at the American continent.

However, that is not the creepiest thing in this patch. Who is this creepier dude within an already creepy dude? At least I can relate to that. But in the context of this patch, it is definitely creepy. Try it and this knight might slash your head off.

It would probably be useless anyhow. They are the true leaders in the world of Cybersecurity. The man with the sword is in the distinct dress of a Knight Templar, this ancient group of Crusaders that became an occult secret society. The Knight represents the descendants of the Templars, the modern Illuminatus. This is another mysterious patch of the NRO.

The program associated with this patch is totally unknown. All we know is that it is represented by three menacing vipers wrapped around the earth, making us all warm and fuzzy inside. We may never know. You know that a mission is top-secret when not even an obscure symbol can be used to represent it. Furthermore, there is a twist on the phrase. According to Paglen, the Latin phrase is worded in a peculiar way in order to refer to Greek and Roman texts.

Three years after beginning their assault, the Roman army overran Carthage, tore down its walls, and sold its inhabitants into slavery. After the Roman Senate declared that no one would ever again live where the city had stood, legend holds that Rome salted the earth around the city in order to ensure that Carthage would remain a wasteland.

The Minotaur program is composed of top-secret NRO spy-satellite launching missions. Minotaurs are bull-headed creatures from Greek mythology that are always angry, violent and merciless.

Minotaurs bear many resemblances to the Middle-Eastern deity Molech, a bull-headed god with the body of a man to whom child sacrifices were made. Troy J. Bragg, NC. Personnel assigned to Headquarters, U. We welcome additonal information on the subject. Please contact the author. However, the DUI was still not enough to set the Schoolhouse soldiers apart.

Army Special Warfare School. LTC G. Army Institute for Military Assistance. Its final redesignation came on 26 August , as the U. Kennedy Center for Military Assistance. COL Gerald T. Army SSI and an airborne tab. As befitting a school whose original purpose was Psychological Warfare before being expanded to Special Warfare, the SSI has considerable meaning. Kennedy Center for Special Warfare. The final insignia worn by personnel assigned to the U. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School are the beret flashes and associated parachute badge background ovals.

The first official beret flash to be worn was that of the cadre of the Special Forces Training Group. You were given a friendly warning and told that the work you were doing was worthless and would be destroyed! Now the UN Flying Tigers have carried out their threat and have destroyed your work! Do not continue such work for your evil Communist leaders because the UN Flying Tigers will return repeatedly to destroy your work!

This is a rather oversized leaflet at 5. I suspect it did not spread well when dropped from UN aircraft. It depicts a Communist fist squeezing the life out of North Koreans over a pile of skulls. We have seen leaflets in this article that had the artwork and text done by the South Korean Army; this 28 June leaflet was designed by the U.

X Corps. It targets the North Korean 1st Division on the 2nd anniversary of the war. Your division has been in this war for two long years now. How many of you have replaced fallen comrades? Save your life so you can return to your loved ones. Two generals signed this leaflet.

Lee Chong Chan is most famous for refusing to let the Army interfere in politics in I could find nothing on Lee Yong Moon. This 19 July Eighth Army G3 leaflet depicts a family eating a meal together and the wife thinking of her husband in the mountains.

The bearer of this leaflet is determined to become a true citizen of the Republic of Korea again, and Army and Police are ordered to guarantee his life and treat him well. Army during the Korean War. Leaflet dated 8 August targeted South Koreans living in occupied areas. Its purpose was to commemorate Liberation Day, 15 August. It depicted a liberty bell on one side and the Song of Liberation Day on the other. The leaflet was designed and prepared by the Republic of Korea Army.

The Eighth Army G3 printed and distributed it. Because it asks the South Koreans to come together and support their nation in the fight against Communism it is considered a "Consolidation" leaflet. The first stanza of the lyrics is:. Let us touch the soil of our Fatherland once more. Even the sea foams on this glorious occasion. Our ancestors and patriots longed to see this day. But alas, they are gone! For this day we have fought with blood for forty years. Let us preserve this precious day forever!

This is the seventh anniversary of our Liberation Day. We should sweep them out as soon as we can. Otherwise, the woes will torment us, and we will have a sad and gloomy time on this deeply affected occasion. Let us spring up and annihilate the Communist bandits! Whenever the United States goes to war there are certain psychological warfare weapons that you expect to see. There will be leaflets and posters of course, radio broadcasts, loudspeaker broadcasts and newspapers.

In some wars there are so many newspapers that I give them their own section. The Eighth Army G3 on produced one that I know about and it was a supplement to the Free World Digest that was being printed and distributed by the 1st Group. The main story is title:. The story points out that free world nations are fighting Russia and the forces of Communism on all fronts.

There are 14 articles in all covering various themes such as: General Ridgway visits Normandy [photo]; no borders exist among humanity; a monument to admiral Lee Sun Shin has been built [photo]; marriage in a POW camp; a Doctor of Literature in Korea; and sorties flown by a South Korean pilot. This 6 March leaflet was based on the discovery that many of the North Korean soldiers hesitated to join the Communist Party because they were then expected to be role models and prove themselves by acts of bravery which can lead to injury or death.

The artwork shows a fat, smug, rear echelon Communist Party member who has never put himself at risk showing and his Party card. I had to smile at the official description because in the U. Are you ambitious? Volunteer yourself for dangerous patrols, raids, and other missions.

Be very careful to avoid UN airplanes and artillery because many applicants for Party Membership are killed while on such missions. After you have performed many more dangerous missions you will either be dead, or your squad leader will give you many sly excuses to deny your Party membership. Your Communist masters cheat you into death while taking privileges for themselves. Would it not be better to remain a non-Party member? This 7 March very colorful and traditional leaflet for the North Korean Army seeks to cause nostalgia among their soldiers who have been away from home for a long time.

Perhaps in an attempt to make the image more romantic, a female Korean artist painted the courtship scene. I like this 23 April leaflet because it almost looks like an American advertisement.

We see a really attractive Korean man and woman and they would seem not to have a trouble in the world. On the back of the leaflet we see female Korean Army soldiers marching and manning an anti-aircraft gun.

Instead of telling the female that she is about to lose her boyfriend which is what we might expect, this may be the only leaflet I have ever seen that implies the male may lose his girlfriend. The artwork and text was done by the ROKA. As I say elsewhere in this article, I like leaflets that use leaflets as a theme. This is a perfect example. A Chinese soldier has found a UN leaflet and has sat down to read it. Is it because the Communists fear that you will learn the truth and realize that thousands and thousands of your comrades have died in a foreign land for the Russian Communists?

Is it because the Communists fear that you will learn and realize that thousands of your comrades have come to UN lines and that they ate all receiving good treatment?

Major Albert C. Brauer mentioned this leaflet in an article titled Psychological Warfare Korea Intelligence reports indicated Communist officers and cadre were continuously forbidding men to read UN leaflets. This leaflet was designed to counter this. It was considered such a good leaflet by me and others that it was not tested on POWs prior to dropping. This is a rather dull leaflet but there is an interesting back story.

In WWI we told the Germans that 1 million fresh young Yanks were coming to fight them, then 2 million, then 3 million, etc. During the Vietnam War the Communists printed postage stamps claiming that they had shot down 3,, 3,, 4, U.

Everyone knew it was fake news but it was interesting to see them inflate the numbers. As the war went on they claimed to have shot down more aircraft than the Air Force had.

This earlier Korea War leaflet shows that the Americans were using the same general theme. A number of these leaflets were printed, each giving the latest count of Communist killed or wounded. Hopefully the leaflet is more accurate with its numbers.

This leaflet features a common theme used in almost every war. Soldiers are away from home and they miss their families. Quite often we find leaflets where a loved one, a wife or mother, cry for the son far away in mortal danger.

Here a mother weeps as she thinks of her son and he weeps on the battlefield. The Chinese text says in part:.

How much longer are you going to be away from home? My eyes fill with tears when I think of what is happening to our beloved China. Thousands and thousands of peaceful Chinese are killed every day by the murderous Communists.

I, your mother, who has never said an unkind word, nor quarreled with anyone, could hardly tolerate the Communist's atrocities.

We have to avenge. The Communists are mad dogs - they are murderers: I shall die hating them: Oh, my son, my son, come back:. This Chinese anti-morale leaflet was, in my estimation, the most effective leaflet prepared in the Korean War. All the emotional ties between mother and son are stressed to create maximum home sickness. A survey of this leaflet with five other leaflets was conducted on one hundred POWs. It was easily understood by both literate and illiterate and was so effective that some cases POWs burst into tears as they discussed the leaflet.

The artwork for the leaflet was prepared by an anonymous Chinese artist in South Korea. He gave the sketch to the Chinese Nationalist Embassy from where it found its way to my desk.

It was almost not printed as our art section did not believe it would reproduce satisfactorily. In general, American PSYOP troops are told not to depict dead bodies on leaflets because it seems to indicate that they are bragging about those killed, and it has been found to anger the enemy and perhaps cause him to fight harder.

Still, propagandists love these images and in this leaflet we see a dead Chinese soldier at the left and a live surrendering one at the right. This leaflet was printed after intelligence reports indicated that the Chinese forces consisted of young men under the age of The dead Chinese soldier is only 17 years old. He was forced to leave his home and his parents. He was cheated and forced to come to Korea.

He was untrained and frightened and did not want to be a soldier. Friends, your chances of living through this senseless foreign war become less each day. You can save your life by coming to the UN lines. The UN welcomes all who come in peace and guarantee good treatment. This is a direct appeal to Chinese Communists under 25 years of age, stressing the choice of life or death. Intelligence reports had indicated that in some units a large percentage of the personnel were composed of individuals less than 25 years of age.

The leaflet was tested on POWs and despite its similarity to similar previous leaflets proved to be very effective. I love leaflets that depict leaflets. I have always thought that I should write an article about this self-serving propaganda.

This particular leaflet is even more interesting because it is designed for illiterates. It depicts a Chinese soldier in a flock of airdropped UN leaflets. He looks at it, like what he sees and comes over to the UN forces. There is a brief four stanza text on the back in the form of a jingle. It says in part:. You suffer more when it snows, You have to hide yourself when you hear the sound of an airplane.

The strafing makes you shudder. Friends, think it over! Decent food and good quarters are guaranteed. Stoves are already installed here. The ordeal you suffer becomes greater every day. Cold, hunger, and bodily exhaustion are haunting you. How can you, with your poor clothing, keep warm in this terrible winter?

Even with tortured feet, you are required to make endless marches over the mountains with heavy loads. This is a strange leaflet, but these were used in both Korea and Vietnam. Sometimes rather than propagandize the enemy, the US forces just send an interesting leaflet that is not propaganda; it is something to motivate the enemy to pick up the leaflet and look at it.

The idea is to get them used to picking up and reading the leaflets. It would also confuse their Communist leaders who would expect it to be propaganda but find it quite neutral.

This leaflet bears a colorful map of Korea and southern Manchuria with the major cities named, and interesting information such as the distance between those cities. This leaflet would be mixed in with regular propaganda leaflets and dropped together. The official information sheet says about this leaflet:. This is a brightly colored pictorial map of Korea and the Southeast portion of Manchuria showing principal ports and cities, industry, forestry, agriculture and fishing.

Arrows show distances to principal Chinese cities. I guess there is but it is not very clear. The text on the back bleeds through the image on the front.

The back depicts a dead Chinese soldier on the ground. This tactical leaflet was prepared for use against specific enemy units as selected by the I Corps Commanding General, and was requested by the U. Army I Corps. The text on the front and back is very short:. This leaflet attempts to divide the Chinese from the Russians. The front top shows U. We see long lines of vehicles, trucks, tanks, fighter aircraft and bombers.

The front bottom contrasts the first picture by showing Chinese foot soldiers slogging through the snow on their way to battle. The image on the back shows a lonely Chinese family longing for the man of the house, now far away in Korea.

The leaflet was requested by the U. Are Russian weapons equal to those of the United Nations? What is Russia providing for you? Is it equal to what the United Nations is providing South Korea? Do you have enough trucks? Are you able to ride or must you walk? Do you have enough artillery? Does it keep you from being killed by the United Nations artillery? Do you have enough aircraft? Do they keep United Nations aircraft from bombing you? Text on the back continues to attack the Russians and the way the Chinese troops are treated by their own government and officers.

It points out that the Chinese are being used by the Russians to fight a war of conquest that the Soviets wanted. The back of this oversized leaflet is blank. Now Captain Ro is enjoying a safe life and working toward the peaceful reunification and revival of the Fatherland.

Koreans should give their loyalty to the Fatherland, not to Russia. For his former comrades to know that, this patriot voluntarily provided his picture and statement. Captain Ro Too-soo is a real patriot of the Republic of Korea.

This leaflet uses the theme of poor leadership among the Communist Chinese forces. It was requested by the British 1st Commonwealth Division. They reported that the Chinese seem to be fighting among themselves due to confusion, poor leadership, or deliberate intent of the Communist Forces leaders.

The leaflet depicts a firefight among the Chinese troops. During the past few nights, United Nations soldiers have seen that you are fighting among yourselves.

We have seen your own mortars fire at you. What does this mean? What terrible tragedy is happening in your army? Can your leaders not stop this? Is this not due to incompetence in their leadership? It is dangerous enough for you to be under the fire of U. Now, because of the incapability of your superior cadres, there has happened a case of mutual destruction. Are you still willing to become ghosts of those who have died without any cause or justification and to be killed by your own weapons?

Please think carefully. How foolish is it to die for Soviet Russia!
