617: Psyops: From Dead Babies to UFOs - The Same Pattern Every Time

A behavioral expert who trains Navy SEALs and CIA operatives created a 20-point test that detects psychological manipulation with mathematical precision. Chase Hughes recently appeared on Shawn Ryan's podcast to discuss this system, and the same patterns appear in government propaganda, corporate deception, and social media algorithms.

From a teenage girl's testimony that sold the Gulf War to Big Tobacco's forty-year lie, the scoring system reveals when you're being controlled. The formula works on anything—news coverage, corporate messaging, even the controversies you're arguing about right now.

But once you learn to spot manipulation everywhere, you face a different danger. Foreign adversaries benefit when Americans trust nothing and question everything so intensely they can't function.

The tool shows you how information is delivered. Deciding what's true is still your job.

The information is fascinating and the presentation is entertaining

I love this podcast. I watch it sometimes on YouTube and it’s great to be able to listen as I’m doing household chores or driving

Always entertaining & informative

I always like to listen to AJ, usually on road trips or while working in an environment where all I have is my ears. I like the non-biased approach and the the unbound curiosity that AJ displays.
