International Man: Controlling information has always been crucial in military conflicts.

How has information warfare evolved over time?

Doug Casey: Information has always been, and still is, the single most important factor in any conflict.

Information, or intelligence in the military vernacular, allows tiny forces to conquer huge forces or to avoid destruction by larger forces. It’s the key to guerrilla warfare, knowing where the enemy is and what he’s thinking. Intelligence allows you to strike when and where the enemy is weakest. It can be a 10-1 force multiplier.
