| | An Introduction to Psychological Warfare and Propaganda |
| | However, psychological warfare is not specifically limited only to a military application, and much of the research has found use in other areas, in other segments of the capitalist propaganda and social control machinery. | | | The increasing non-military use of psychological warfare techniques has become commonplace: the barrage of psychological warfare tricks advertising and media corporations use to beguile the naive and the susceptible are only one element. | | | While psychological warfare has been in existence for thousands of years, it must be acknowledged that the US is the current world leader in psychological warfare techniques. |

| | Unrestricted War: the leveller - Jane's Asia/Pacific News |
| | Against Iraq, say the authors, the USA has simultaneously used "conventional warfare, diplomatic warfare, sanctions warfare, legal warfare, media warfare, psychological warfare and intelligence warfare". | | | As China enhances its theoretical understanding of warfare in the future, Chinese strategists are attempting to integrate various largely Western theories of warfare and indigenise (or 'Sinicise') them. | | | For example, in dealing with Osama bin Laden, they write: "[The] Americans have used state terrorist warfare, intelligence warfare, financial warfare, network warfare and legal warfare." Their use of the phrase "state terrorist warfare" apparently refers to the August 1998 decision by the Clinton administration to launch cruise missiles into Sudan and Afghanistan. |

| | PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS IN GUERRILLA WARFARE |
| | The nature of the environment in guerrilla warfare does not permit sophisticated facilities for psychological operations, and the face-to-face persuasion of the guerrilla combatant-propagandists with the people is an effective and available tool which we should use as much as possible during the process of the struggle. | | | In order to obtain the maximum results from the psychological operations in guerrilla warfare, every combatant should be as highly motivated to carry out propaganda face to face as he is a combatant. | | | The tactical effort in guerrilla warfare is directed at the weaknesses of the enemy and at destroying their military resistance capacity, and should be parallel to a psychological effort to weaken and destroy their sociopolitical capacity at the same time. |
