The USG is allowed to run psychological operations on its own soil as long as the intended target isn't it's citizens. If we happen to get caught in the cross hairs, even better because we are also helping the spread of the psyop. Look into "Rumsfeld's Roadmap to Propaganda" They live and breathe this guys stuff still to this day. Then it was under tmBush's OSI, now it's the Pentagon's IPMO that runs the "show". (Not the Army's IPMO under G-2, the other one...)
