In 2003, Donald Rumsfeld signed a document called the Information Operations Roadmap. In 2006 the document was declassified thanks to the work of the National Security Archive at George Washington University. The document is a list of recommendations that details the US military’s information operations, including psychological operations, electronic warfare, and involvement in foreign journalism.
The document is pretty scary, listing the government’s wish to control the entire electromagnetic spectrum, fight the freedom of the internet, and use psychological operations to aggressively modify behaviour.
