The Essential Role of Culture Differences in Cognitive Warfare with Dr. Li-Meng Yan on American Out Loud with Edward Haugland

 The Essential Role of Culture Differences in Cognitive Warfare - America Out Loud

Dr. Li-Meng Yan w/ The Voice of Dr. Yan – Communist Chinese culture is based on dictatorship, anti-humanity with strict restrictions of freedom, and impedes the progress of civilization. The fundamental differences between the two cultures bring huge differences in people’s thinking and behaviors and play an essential role in CCP’s cognitive war…

“Who knows well both the militaries of his own and the adversary, will be invincible.”

It is one of the most influential strategies in Chinese culture, which was written in The Art of War. It’s not outdated after 2500 years. In fact, billions of dollars funneled by government every year, ensure sufficient studies and operations to understand CCP’s top adversary, the US, on the full range.

Compared to the open and transparent system in the US, Communist China is close and opaque. Moreover, English is a compulsory subject in the Chinese curriculum for over three decades, while the Chinese-speaking population in the US is very small, and deeply infiltrated by CCP. Therefore, the disequilibrium provides fertile ground for CCP’s cognitive interventions against Americans.

As Edward Haugland summarized in “The only way to win World War III is to prevent it” in 2019, “The Intelligence Community (IC) and DoD (of the US), created in 1947, continue to function in a primarily reactive posture, using the industrial age processes of the era in which they were created.” The industrial age mode requires protocols and evidence fitting the stereotyped standards. However, China has developed more sophisticated and flexible strategies in the information age, as a combination of tactics in informative, psychological, and legal warfare.

Furthermore, there was never a period of the industrial age in Chinese history. Basically, autocratic regimes changed in the past over 2000 years in China, without any establishment of a real industrial civilization. More importantly, according to Xi Jinping’s thoughts, it’s CCP’s principle to take proactive steps, and struggle with courage against the US.

Hence, the traditional and standardized workflows hold back the US IC in handling the information related to China, which becomes a significant weakness in national security.

The origin of COVID-19 is always a mirror to reflect CCP’s cognitive tactics. The best plan for CCP is to create the zoonotic origin in the context of illegal wild animal consumption in Wuhan. Given the lack of knowledge of China, it would be easy for Americans to accept the illegal wild animal trading story, and difficult to question the authenticity of the information and data, as well as the integrity of the CCP government.

That’s why even IC members spent a lot of time following so-called evidence of bat soup, pangolin smuggling, and raccoon dog trading, but hesitate to touch the weaponized nature of the virus.

I appreciate my guest today, Edward Haugland’s definition: “Culture = Policy + People + Process.” Briefly, American culture is based on the Constitution, concerning the endowment of human rights and freedom, to improve the whole society over time.

In contrast, Communist Chinese culture is based on dictatorship, anti-humanity with strict restrictions of freedom, and impedes the progress of civilization. The fundamental differences between the two cultures bring huge differences in people’s thinking and behaviors and play an essential role in CCP’s cognitive war.

Edward Haugland is a retired federal Senior Executive and US Air Force veteran. His over four decades of service include serving as a senior leader in the Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense, Homeland Security, Energy, and State. He’s served as the senior advisor to several IC agency heads, the Assistant Inspector General for Inspections for the Intelligence Community, the Chairman of CIA’s strategic planning, a Deputy team lead for the INF On-site nuclear arms inspections in the former Soviet Union, and as award-winning CIA intelligence analyst. He is currently an independent consultant focusing on cognitive warfare. He is also a regular host on The National Security Hour on the American Out Loud Talk Radio Network.

The Manchurian President

T he Manchurian President The way to crush the bourgeoisie [ the middle class] is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation [1] - Lenin   My opinion - As a former intelligence analyst and practitioner with over thirty-years of experience in national security across multiple executive departments, intelligence agencies, and defense organizations and services - is that President Biden is not only compromised but exemplifies the ultimate Manchurian President.  I also see him as a traitor to our nation – plain and simple. His actions and deeds, controlled by those we do not yet see, are purposefully destroying our democracy, our legal system, our freedoms, independence, and our republic.  I use Lenin’s quote – as it exemplifies the progressive left’s tactics, using today’s information-age technologies, in concert with our adversaries to destroy our nation, advance their vision of tyranny, ultimately to subjugate the people into pre-defined enclav...

Hades and Harris – What’s the Difference? Part I of II. America is Dying from Within

  Hades and Harris – What’s the Difference? Part I of II America is Dying from Within What is the difference between the Kamala, who is now the democrat nominee for president, and hades? Well, to be frank, not much. If we consider what a Harris administration would do to America, has she not already much of that with Biden. If she is elected, you’ll see hell on earth – but it will take form in America. We must believe what we see, not what we hear or are led to believe by the deceitful. The best way to do that is to look at the policy impacts of Harris and Biden, and understand they are only a beginning if Harris and Waltz are elected. But before I focus on the actions, intent, and the devastating impacts of the Democrat’s policies on Americans let us look brief look at their nominees. Their policies are represented by the most radical leftist presidential ticket ever. A presidential and vice-presidential nominees anointed without an election, without the public voting, i...

Who’s Left Holding the Bag – The Progressives Playbook

 Who’s Left Holding the Bag – The Progressives Playbook One has to wonder why Americans haven’t yet figured out the progressive’s playbook when it comes to illegal immigration. It’s like watching the train bearing down the track, the victims (the legal American citizens) are on the track but not tied down. They need only to take a simple act to avoid being run over by the train, like stepping to the side, but for some ungodly reason – they don’t.  The train in this case is illegal immigration, and the act they “could’ve” taken is to vote differently. But they don’t? Not even after all of the progressive candidates telegraphed their intent to open the borders, and worse, give free healthcare, education, and phones to any illegal crossing the border. It doesn’t matter if they’re infected with the China Flu, a felon, a child sex trafficker, a Chinese male of military age, or even an ISIS recruit – the message is come one, come all.  The cognitive dissonance is astounding, as...
