Often called simply OM, Operation Mindfuck was popularlized in "The Illuminatus! Trilogy" by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson. It involves challenging people's perspectives, and shaking them out of their reality tunnels by unexpected actions and events. These usually involve strange twists on normalcy.
Many OMs involve subtlety, so that those whose reality perspective is being challenged don't know whether something's being pulled on them or not. Thus Operation Mindfuck often involves a degree of paranoia.
Operation Mindfuck was created in the 1960s by Ho Chi Zen (aka Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst or Kerry Thornley, co-founder of Discordianism) with fellow Discordians Malaclypse the Younger, The GameMaster of Florin, Dr. Mordecai Malignatus, Harold Lord Randomfactor, and others.
OMs may be performed solo, by a few people, or by a large group. Operation Mindfuck often involves random elements, using the game theory concept that "the only strategy an opponent cannot predict is a random strategy." Participants may use random elements to make decisions, such as rolling dice.
OMs are often done by unconnnected groups of small cells of people, similar to the military tactics of Mao Tse-tung. A participant may know who's in one cell, but have no idea who else is involved in other cells. This makes it extremely difficult to pinpoint and stop those involved.
In the 21st century, OMGASM, or Operation Mindfuck: Golden Apple Seed Mission, was begun by Professor Cramulus and others. In an OMGASM, people spread the word about a coming OM so it can grow everywhere like scattered seeds.
Operation Mindfuck includes: Anti-Protests, Book OM or BookGASM, Culture Jamming, Erister Egg Hunt or EggGASM, Flash Mobbing, Guerilla Communication, Honorary Membership (in non-existent groups), OM Parades (odd and unexpected parades), Postergasm, Project Pan-Pontification, stamping official documents with unofficial Rubber Stamps, Project Jake, and more.

Get the Operation Mindfuck mug.An award winning musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The story, based on the French novel by Gaston Leroux, is of a hideously disfigured genius who lives under and Opera house in Paris in the late 19th century. It's a love story between this man- the Phantom (or Erik, in the novel), Christine, and her friend -and soon fiance-, the wealthy and attractive Raoul. The soundtrack to the Phantom is unlike most other Broadway-style musicals. The songs, including the Overture, Angel of Music, The Mirror, The Phantom of the Opera, Prima Donna, All I Ask of You, Masquerade, The Point of No Return, and Down Once More/ Track Down This Murderer, have more of a classical, opera-like feel to them, making good use of an orchestra and having intense vocal scenes. It is currently (in the year 2012) the longest running musical on Broadway and still achieves high ratings from critics. It is by far my favorite musical, and greatly surpasses the movie on all levels in my own personal opinion.

Injecting that time-honored, sauce-for-the-goose principle into 2008 democrat politics, talk show host Rush Limbaugh goaded Texas and Ohio Republicans to cross over and cast their primary ballots for Hillary. In the hope of narrowing the lead amassed by Barack Obama and perpetuating a bitter democrat fracas, thousands of loyal Republicans held their collective nose and rallied to do the unthinkable -- vote for a <expletive deleted> Clinton.
And was it ever successful!
Just as Limbaugh, red-faced and pounding the desk with laughter, was reveling at the tumult he had single-handedly incited, several networks began broadcasting scathing, hate-filled, and anti-American sermon excerpts of Obama's mentor, the Farakahnesque black-racist bigot Jeremiah Wright of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
Then all hell broke loose.
Obama, with the wheels of "hope" coming off his wagon of "change," was forced into damage-control mode to stop his plummeting poll numbers. Threatened with a return to square one as the pre-post-racial candidate, he bobbed, he weaved, he feinted ... but he resolutely refused to repudiate his beloved pastor. And (off camera) Hillary cheered.
Now they're in a real pickle. The democrat electorate, like schmucks duped by the barnum effect, chose an unvetted nominee with a snowball's chance in Kenya of winning the general election. But if the party's Superdelegates override the voters in the hope of a November win, many blacks will surely revolt and assure a democrat defeat.

A classic pincer movement, Limbaugh's Operation Chaos ensnared Democrats in a battle pitting the politics of genitalia against the politics of skin pigmentation.
