PSYOP CORE TASKS
1-9. To meet the intent of the supported commander, PSYOP Soldiers perform six core tasks:
Develop. Development involves the selection of Psychological Operations objectives (POs) and supporting Psychological Operations objectives (SPOs), the conceptualization of multiple series, the development of specific product ideas within a series, and the recommendation of actions that will influence the beliefs and attitudes of TAs and ultimately modify their behavior. In the development stage, PSYOP Soldiers conceptualize how they will modify behavior. The development stage combines several essential elements, including target audience analysis (TAA), series development, individual product development, and the approval process. The analysis of propaganda and the development of counterpropaganda begin during development but are embedded throughout the other core tasks.
Design. Design is the technical aspect of taking what was conceptualized in the development stage and creating an audio, visual, or audiovisual prototype. This task demands technical expertise in many communication fields.
Produce. Production is the transformation of approved PSYOP product prototypes into various media forms that are compatible with the way foreign populations are accustomed to receiving information. Some production requirements may be contracted to private industry, while other requirements may be performed by units attached or under the tactical control (TACON) or operational control (OPCON) of PSYOP forces.
Distribute. Distribution is the movement of completed products from the production source to the point of dissemination. This task may include the temporary physical or electronic storage of PSYOP products at intermediate locations. This task can be complicated by classification requirements, as products are often classified before dissemination.
Disseminate. Dissemination involves the delivery of PSYOP products directly to the desired TA. PSYOP forces must leverage as many different media and dissemination means as possible to ensure access to the targeted foreign population.

We need a new term which conveys the reality of "conspiracy theorists" better, such as "truth seekers", or "anti-MSMers", or "those who have broken free from the PTB paradigm", "uncoverers", "the unbrainwashed" etc.

Interesting, very interesting. I'm noticing more and more that certain people are referencing the nine-eleven event as nine one one.
Drip, drip, drip ...
That is all.

There is no reason at all to think a "psyop" is needed in any way to divert the attention of a couple of anonymous conspiracy theorists, mostly operating from fringe internet forums. Well ok, there is a reason, which is a misplaced feeling of self-importance, which I guess is part of the whole conspiracy theorist psyche.
