Cia's Media Manipulation
00:03:33

|
| Hello everybody. | |
| Thank you for tuning in to the weekly report. | |
| CIA admits feeding American lies about Ukraine. | |
| Late last year, a Callup poll showed that Americans' trust in the mainstream media has fallen to its second lowest level on record. | |
| Only 7% of Americans responded that they have a great deal of trust in the media. | |
| That loss of trust has been well earned by the mainstream media, and it explains the massive growth of independent media and alternative voices on social media. | |
| The response to the rise of independent media voices has been a rush to cancel any voice outside the accepted mainstream narrative. | |
| Citizens of the Soviet Union would read manipulated media like Pravda not because the regime reported facts, but because truth was hidden between the lines of what was reported and what was not reported. | |
| That seems to be where we are in the U.S. today. | |
| Last week, an extraordinary article appeared in, of all places, NBC News, reporting that U.S. intelligence community is knowingly feeding information it does not believe accurate to the U.S. mainstream media for the American audience to consume. | |
| In other words, the article reports that the U.S. deep state admits to being actively engaged in lying to the American people in the hopes that it can manipulate public opinion. | |
| According to the NBC News article, multiple U.S. officials acknowledge that the U.S. has used information as a weapon, even when confidence in the accuracy of the information wasn't high. | |
| Sometimes it has used a low-confidence intelligence for deterrent effect. | |
| Readers will recall the shocking headlines that Russia was prepared to use chemical weapons in Ukraine, that China would be providing military equipment to Russia, that Russian President Putin was being fed misinformation by his advisors and more. | |
| All of these were churned out by the CIA to be repeated in the American media even though they were known to be false. | |
| It was all about, as one intelligence officer said in the article, trying to get inside Putin's head. | |
| That may have been the goal, but what the CIA actually did was get inside America's head with false information meant to shape public perceptions of the conflict. | |
| They lied to propagandize in favor of the Biden administration narrative. | |
| Those pushing the Russia gate hoax through the Trump years claim that the goal of Russian disinformation was to undermine Americans' trust in our government, media, and other institutions. | |
| Isn't it ironic that the CIA itself has done more than the Russians to undermine Americans' faith in the media by feeding false stories to establish a particular narrative among the American people? | |

President Kennedy's Wish
00:00:53
|
|
| After the Bay of Pigs, a disaster, President Kennedy has been quoted as wanting to splinter the CIA in a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds. | |
| Obviously, for a couple of reasons that didn't work out too well for him. | |
| As Senate Majority Chuck Schumer famously told Rachel Madow in 2020, responding to the President Trump's criticism of the CIA, let me tell you, you take out the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you. | |
| As more information about the activities of the U.S. intelligence community in trying to bring down Trump comes out, It appears that, for once, Schumer was right. | |
| It's time to revisit President Kennedy's post-Bay of Pigs wish. | |
