Operation Mockingbird

Something I came across on youtube and further found some documents about it well worth for everyone to know about.

This was the first I found;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1E7s7XaV7E - video from House intelligence comitee hearing 1975 when the Cia director was questioned on how the Cia was acting towards the media. Very revealing. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC_cgxtkTRE - Next, a compilation on the very limited findings about this operation and when it is being asked. One very special interesting information is that the Sig Mickelson, former CBS News chief saying he was contacted by the Cia.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIGdWsxHJlM&feature=related - How facebook was set in motion by the Cia and its companies. (note: I have not checked out these sources, if anyone has, please let me know.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird - quick walkthrough of the history. might be a long read, but you will get the main idea. Some of the sources have some fascinating reads as well.

There is a lot more to read if anyone is interested.

Most people dont know about this and the ramifications it can have for us all. Do we trust the Cia at all? Can we find traces of this in the mass-media to support this? How can we identify this? Is it even possible to do so?

At least we should be aware that several decades ago, the Cia was involved in feeding the media with fake news, and we do not know what they do now.

For me this was a part of my turn of mind when it came to how I read and watch news. I do not "absorb" it anymore, I note how it is presented and how things suddenly fits.

Cia is just one of many power structures the empire uses. From its constitution in the National defence act it is ment to coordinate the intelligence of the different agencies.
