I slept in, so this is going to be a short post about the American intelligence project to control ALL relevant narratives through operations like the one named above. For some recent news on this insidious effort, here’s a Zerohedge piece reporting on the latest disclosures from the Twitter files (emphasis mine):
While the CIA is strictly prohibited from spying on or running clandestine operations against American citizens on US soil, a bombshell new “Twitter Files” report reveals that a member of the Board of Trustees of InQtel – the CIA’s mission-driving venture capital firm, along with “former” intelligence community (IC) and CIA analysts, were involved in a massive effort in 2021-2022 to take over Twitter’s content management system, as Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi and Alex Gutentag report over at Shellenberger’s Public.
According to “thousands of pages of Twitter Files and documents,” these efforts were part of a broader strategy to manage how information is disseminated and consumed on social media under the guise of combating ‘misinformation’ and foreign propaganda efforts – as this complex of government-linked individuals and organizations has gone to great lengths to suggest that narrative control is a national security issue.
Before I get to the clip from the show Fallout that I think is one of the more substantive 22 seconds of mainstream “entertainment” I’ve seen in awhile, here’s a reminder that Missoula’s former Mayor, John Engen, had a “former” CIA man by the name of John Talbot help run his first political campaign, and John’s son, Pete Talbot, is still bouncing around this town, helping with things like local elections.
Isn’t this interesting? I think it is, especially considering what William Casey, the director of the CIA, said in 1981 about Operation Mockingbird, which is this: “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”
Now, here’s the clip from the show I recorded. If you appreciate my perspective, please consider donating to Travis’ Impact Fund (TIF), any little bit helps.
Thanks for reading!
