Described as the \u201cweaponization of brain sciences,\u201d the new method involves \u201chacking the individual\u201d by exploiting \u201cthe vulnerabilities of the human brain\u201d in order to implement more sophisticated \u201csocial engineering.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Until recently, NATO had divided war into five different operational domains: air, land, sea, space, and cyber. But with its development of cognitive warfare strategies, the military alliance is discussing a new, sixth level: the \u201chuman domain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.innovationhub-act.org\/content\/cw-documents\">2020 NATO-sponsored study<\/a>\u00a0of this new form of warfare clearly explained, \u201cWhile actions taken in the five domains are executed in order to have an effect on the human domain, cognitive warfare\u2019s objective is to make everyone a weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe brain will be the battlefield of the 21st century,\u201d the report stressed. \u201cHumans are the contested domain,\u201d and \u201cfuture conflicts will likely occur amongst the people digitally first and physically thereafter in proximity to hubs of political and economic power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the NATO-backed study insisted that much of its research on cognitive warfare is designed for defensive purposes, it also conceded that the military alliance is developing offensive tactics, stating, \u201cThe human is very often the main vulnerability and it should be acknowledged in order to protect NATO\u2019s human capital but also to be able to benefit from our adversaries\u2019s vulnerabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a chilling disclosure, the report said explicitly that \u201cthe objective of Cognitive Warfare is to harm societies and not only the military.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With entire civilian populations in NATO\u2019s crosshairs, the report emphasized that Western militaries must work more closely with academia to weaponize social sciences and human sciences and help the alliance develop its cognitive warfare capacities.<\/p>\n<p>The study described this phenomenon as \u201cthe militarization of brain science.\u201d But it appears clear that NATO\u2019s development of cognitive warfare will lead to a militarization of all aspects of human society and psychology, from the most intimate of social relationships to the mind itself.<\/p>\n<p>Such all-encompassing militarization of society is reflected in the paranoid tone of the NATO-sponsored report, which warned of \u201can embedded fifth column, where everyone, unbeknownst to him or her, is behaving according to the plans of one of our competitors.\u201d The study makes it clear that those \u201ccompetitors\u201d purportedly exploiting the consciousness of Western dissidents are China and Russia.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, this document shows that figures in the NATO military cartel increasingly see their own domestic population as a threat, fearing civilians to be potential Chinese or Russian sleeper cells, dastardly \u201cfifth columns\u201d that challenge the stability of \u201cWestern liberal democracies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NATO\u2019s development of novel forms of hybrid warfare come at a time when member states\u2019 military campaigns are targeting domestic populations on an unprecedented level.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ottawacitizen.com\/news\/national\/defence-watch\/military-leaders-saw-pandemic-as-unique-opportunity-to-test-propaganda-techniques-on-canadians-forces-report-says\">Ottawa Citizen reported<\/a>\u00a0this September that the Canadian military\u2019s Joint Operations Command took advantage of the Covid-19 pandemic to wage an information war against its own domestic population, testing out propaganda tactics on Canadian civilians.<\/p>\n<p>Internal NATO-sponsored reports suggest that this disclosure is just scratching the surface of a wave of new unconventional warfare techniques that Western militaries are employing around the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCognitive warfare seeks to change not only what people think, but also how they act,\u201d the Canadian government wrote in its official statement on the challenge. \u201cAttacks against the cognitive domain involve the integration of cyber, disinformation\/misinformation, psychological, and social-engineering capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ottawa\u2019s press release continued: \u201cCognitive warfare positions the mind as a battle space and contested domain. Its objective is to sow dissonance, instigate conflicting narratives, polarize opinion, and radicalize groups. Cognitive warfare can motivate people to act in ways that can disrupt or fragment an otherwise cohesive society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thegrayzone.com\/2021\/10\/08\/nato-cognitive-warfare-brain\/\">Read full story here\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Sourced from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.technocracy.news\/military-is-developing-cognitive-warfare-weapons\/\">Technocracy News &amp; Trends<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=5719077&amp;redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.activistpost.com%2F2021%2F10%2Fmilitary-is-developing-cognitive-warfare-weapons.html&amp;utm_medium=widget\">Become a Patreon<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Until recently, NATO had divided war into five different operational domains: air, land, sea, space, and cyber.
