One example of witchcraft/psyops in the Middle Ages is during the Norman Conquest when William the Conqueror used a witch to hurl curses against Hereward the Wake (who was holed up in the middle of a marsh). She was placed on the top of a tower and yelled obsenities against them day after day. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereward_the_wake#Return_to_England)<br /><br />This is pretty much the same tactic as the Vietnamese used during the Vietnam war, except the Vietnamese used electronic speakers to transmit their demoralising messages (witchcraft) instead of an actual person. But the effect is the same: a demoralised enemy.<br /><br />It's a shame that modern Western culture treats concepts like witchcraft and magic with such disdain, instead of learning from them.AABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17046686945000483196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-67128238648995454122015-08-25T13:20:49.444-04:002015-08-25T13:20:49.444-04:00Yes, Spin Doctors is what they are.
