| black PSYOP | чёрная пропаганда (The activity engaged in appears to emanate from a source (government, party, group, organization, person) usually hostile in nature. The interest of our government is concealed and our government would deny responsibility. It is best used in support of strategic plans. Covert PSYOP is not a function of the our military but instead is used in special operations due to their political sensitivity and need for higher level compartmentalization. Further, black PSYOP, to be credible, may need to disclose sensitive material, with the damage caused by information disclosure considered to be outweighed by the impact of successful deception. In order to achieve maximum results and to prevent the compromise of overt PSYOP, overt and covert operations need to be kept separate. Personnel involved in one must not be engaged in the other.
