    The History of US Army Psychological Operations Pt 2 FT TheIOGuy SGM (r) Kenneth Ramos

    Welcome back to The Trunk Tales. In Part 2 of our series on the history of U.S. Army Psychological Operations, Drew Lemacks sits down again with SGM (R) Kenneth Ramos, better known as TheIOGuy, to continue the conversation on influence, language, culture, credibility, target audience analysis, and the modern information environment. Ken breaks down why PSYOP is not just a product, a leaflet, or a buzzword. It is a planning process built around behavior, audience understanding, message development, distribution, testing, credibility, and second-order effects. This episode moves from terminology and military jargon into cultural signals, slang, scams, foreign messaging, platform manipulation, AI-generated media, social media suspensions, disaster narratives, public trust, and why the audience often matters more than the message itself. Drew and Ken also discuss how adversaries and scammers identify vulnerable audiences, why bad assumptions can ruin messaging, how credibility gets lost, and why preserving the real history of Psychological Operations matters. Viewer Discretion:This episode contains strong language and discussions of war, propaganda, scams, misinformation, social media manipulation, military operations, and current events.

    The History of US Army Psychological Operations Pt 1 FT TheIOGuy SGM (r) Kenneth Ramos

    Welcome back to The Trunk Tales. In Part 1 of our series on the history of U.S. Army Psychological Operations, Drew Lemacks sits down with SGM (R) Kenneth Ramos, better known as TheIOGuy, for a grounded, unfiltered, and often hilarious conversation about influence, information, credibility, and the long history behind the craft. This episode starts in the modern information environment: AI slop, fake viral images, social media manipulation, misinformation, and the strange reality that people will sometimes reject what is real while accepting what is obviously fabricated. From there, Ken walks through what Psychological Operations actually are, and what they are not. This is not just “make a leaflet” or spooky internet buzzwords. Real Psychological Operations require planning, target audience analysis, series development, production, approval, cultural review, language review, and a clear understanding of the behavior a message is intended to influence. Drew and Ken also get into the roots of American influence operations, from Revolutionary War messaging and the Hessians to radio broadcasts, leaflets, surrender appeals, credibility, and why making promises you can actually keep matters. Ken explains why the wrong message in the wrong place can create real-world consequences, why translation matters, and why the history of Psychological Operations deserves more serious preservation. This is Part 1. More to come. Viewer Discretion: This episode contains strong language and discussions of war, propaganda, information warfare, misinformation, and military operations.

Hosts Andrew Lemacks and Grimzy sit down for the original conversation that started it all — before The Trunk Tales even existed.

In this episode, Andrew and Grimzy talk about content creation, timing, audience growth, the balance between humor and reality, and what it means to stay authentic in an algorithm-driven world.
