A "psy op," short for "psychological operation," refers to the strategies used by military and government agencies to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of governments, organizations, groups, and individuals. The purpose of psychological operations is to induce or reinforce behavior favorable to the originator's objectives, often through misinformation, confusion, or manipulation. These operations can be conducted by nations against enemy forces, or even on their own population, depending on the context and objective.
At the same time its also a COIN:
"COIN" stands for "Counterinsurgency." It's a comprehensive approach used by military and government institutions to combat insurgency, which is a rebellion against an authority (like an incumbent government or an occupying international force) by a non-state group or a group of non-state actors. A counterinsurgency campaign is typified by efforts to protect the populace, contain violence, and build up legitimate institutions to displace insurgents' influence. It involves a mix of military, paramilitary, political, economic, psychological, and civic actions taken by a government to defeat insurgency.

Combining COIN (Counterinsurgency) and psy ops (psychological operations) would result in a strategy that incorporates the psychological manipulation of a population or enemy forces to support counterinsurgency efforts.
In such a blend, psychological operations are used to diminish the appeal of the insurgents and their cause, undermine their credibility, sow confusion and demoralization within their ranks, and simultaneously enhance the local population's support for counterinsurgency efforts (like support for the host nation's government or the intervening forces).
This might involve a range of activities such as propagating information that highlights the negative aspects of the insurgency, positive messaging about the government's reform efforts and successes, and programs aimed at civilian engagement, trust-building, and winning the "hearts and minds" to deny insurgents local support, resources, and recruitment.
This strategy requires a nuanced understanding of the local culture, societal norms, and the grievances that fuel the insurgency, ensuring that the psy ops are perceived as credible and resonate with the targeted audience.
I admit that I sensationalized my title because people got stuck on what Flynn said and seemed to quickly forget Q proof after Q proof that still occur today.
I agree. Q was a backchannel COIN meant to awaken as much of the populace as possible to the truth of who's really running things in the world, and at the same time provide reassurance that some in power were trying to turn things around - and that our help is needed to do that.
If all Q did was open many eyes to the truth about true evil in the world, and make us stop being afraid to look at even the worst truths - which I myself am no longer afraid to do - then it was worth it for that alone
And yes, we have to step up and do what we can to help things along:
Speak Up, for one, as much as possible. Don't be afraid to tell the truth to the normies, even if you must do it a little at a time so they don't shut down and utterly freak out on you.
Perform acts of civil disobedience against anti-American and anti-Constitutional interference with our freedoms. Refusing to wear masks was a good start, and there will be many more.
We're just moving into a new phase. That's all. Given the state of our nation and the world right now, it would be pretty shocking if we weren't.

I like this a lot and it would well define Q.
I admit that I sensationalized my title because people got stuck on what Flynn said and seemed to quickly forget Q proof after Q proof that still occur today.
This is GREAT discussion and also brought this to the surface which I had not seen. https://greatawakening.win/p/17rSsa8WjB/flynn-and-his-q-comment--look-to/c/
