| In their effort to undermine Trump's presidency, the deep state even recruited celebrities to disseminate dossier disinfo to their unsuspecting fans. | |
| The musician Moby says CIA agents asked him to spread the word about Trump and Russia. | |
| I've managed to make a few friends in the intelligence community. | |
| We were having dinner and they were really concerned. | |
| Partially based on this, not to go too much in the weeds, but like this Fusion GPS report on Trump essentially being run as a Russian agent. | |
| So they passed on some information to me and they said, like, look, you have more of a social media following than any of us do. | |
| Can you please post some of these things just in a way? | |
| Pitchfork reports that last February, following President Trump's inauguration, Moby posted on social media claiming to have insider information on connections between the Trump administration and Russia. | |
| Moby says that after talking to friends in D.C., he had allegedly learned that the Fusion GPS dossier was 100% real and that the Russian government was blackmailing the president. | |
| Now, most journalists refuse to print the dossier because it was unverifiable garbage. | |
| But we can't let facts get in the way of personal truths. | |
| Now, this is nothing new. | |
| The deep state has always worked hand in hand with the media and Hollywood to control the news. | |
| The OSS provided a model for the Central Intelligence Agency. | |
| That was established in September 1947. The CIA specialized in propaganda, economic warfare, sabotage, and demolition. | |
| By the early 1950s, they controlled over 25 newspapers and wire agencies and had 3,000-plus employees engaged in propaganda. | |
| Journalists willing to promote the views of the CIA included members of the New York Times, Time Magazine, Newsweek, The Washington Post, and CBS Television. | |
| Do you have any people paid by the CIA who are working for television networks? | |
| This, I think, gets into the kind of getting into the details, Mr. Chairman, that I'd like to get into in an executive session. | |
| At CBS, we... | |
| Had been contacted by the CIA. As a matter of fact, by the time I became the head of the whole news and public affairs operation in 1954, ships had been established and I was told about them and asked if I'd carry on with them. | |
| We're really talking about intelligence at the highest levels of the U.S. government, setting the broad direction for the nation. | |
| I thought that it was a matter of real concern that planted stories intended to serve a national purpose abroad. | |
| came home and were circulated here and believed here because this would mean that the CIA could manipulate the news in the United States by channeling it through some foreign country. | |
| And we're looking at that very carefully. | |
| And in 2013, Operation Mockingbird shifted into overdrive. | |
| The Smith-Month Modernization Act of 2012 was passed, allowing the CIA to flood America with more government propaganda. | |
| And The Atlantic detailed the relationship between the CIA and Hollywood in 2016. The agency insists that it no longer maintains a stable of friendly American journalists and that its efforts to influence the press are much more above board. | |
| But in truth, the intelligence empire's efforts to manufacture the truth and mold public opinion are more vast and varied than ever before. | |
| One of its foremost assets, Hollywood. | |
| The CIA no longer pretends to honor its charter and refrain from flooding the media with government propaganda. | |
| The CIA's cozy relationship with the media has now evolved from just pumping out purely pro-government propaganda to peddling the political agenda of anonymous deep state sources. |
