Summary/Abstract: The phenomenon of internal nationalisms with international infiltrations, which is rising again, is a global one – experienced from Europe to America – not to be overlooked. It is a phenomenon that leads to domestic terrorist attacks and its characteristics distinguished it from other types of terroristic attacks that are of a non-Islamic matrix, thus adducing to a higher risk to take place than during the past. This is the motive that drives young people that – as already reported by some Intelligence agencies – even if they don’t have a concrete knowledge of the historical events that have occurred in the past or about the various ideologies developed over time, to follow the ideologies of these individuals. Some of the analysed solutions concern obtaining consent through the mass management and handling techniques used in Psyops Operations for the construction of consent to leaders. In the training of leaders, when communicating to the mass, it must be kept in mind that one cannot simply refuse requests without giving justifications, the reasons why decisions are made must be explained to the population so they can be well understood so as to limit or to eliminate the dissent. The senseless denial must never be used, and the masses consent and consent to leaders must be built by using more groups of people, included those who dissent, so to convey dissent. Therefore there must be created dissenting groups to the leaders that are credible and vehicular to all those who have opposite opinions than the leader, so that to be able to convey and to manage potential opponents in the best way.
