Cognitive warfare is no longer science fiction – it is a fact and anyone, whether they are civilians or military, are potential targets. The war for the mind is not just a clever euphemism, it is a fact and it is a battlefield that can be entered in various forms such as neurolinguistic programming, electronics, and chemicals. The military concept now is to treat “cyber” as a place, not a mission. Cyberwarfare relates to fifth-generation warfare, but transcends and expands that model. NATO Allied Command defines cognitive warfare as including, “activities conducted in synchronization with other instruments of power to affect attitudes and behavior by influencing, protecting, or disrupting individual and group cognition to gain an advantage over an adversary.” Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10 pm, pacific time) Clyde Lewis talks with military analyst and writer, Sean Patrick Hazlett about OMEGA POINT – THE ADVENT OF COGNITIVE WARFARE.
