I would like to congratulate the CIA on winning the information war. Since it’s clearly all Mockingbird now, we might as well just sit back and enjoy the show.
Right?
Sam Forstag, the Democrat candidate for Congress, got the attention of Esquire last month, and even Esquire signaled being hip to the CIA’s role in recruiting some of Sam’s predecessors for the Cold War:
A direct article from a national magazine isn’t the only way the Mockingbird media pumps up candidates like Sam Forstag. For a more subtle example of influence, a recent local article from the Missoulian about Smokejumpers caught my attention, and not just because one of the guys pictured is my former neighbor, Kurt Rohrbach
A newspaper that was once run by “retired” CIA man, John Talbot, is doing a very beneficial thing here for candidate Sam Forstag by publishing this well-timed article about a Smokejumper honor flight. The residual positive impressions an article like this creates can’t necessarily be quantified, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have an impact on the minds of potential voters.
An informed electorate is pretty important when choosing the people to “lead” us, which is why the flow of information is so critical to control. When the CIA got caught training Tibetan freedom fighters in Colorado, for example, they made sure interest didn’t spread from Colorado Springs to the New York Times, and those punk-ass bitches at the NYT complied. Because “national security”.
Here’s an excerpt from a book about what happened AFTER a few unlucky locals in Colorado witnessed the departure of the CIA’s secret Tibetan insurgents against China:
And here’s an article about this secret training effort that mentions the “Missoula Mafia”:
The base was located north of Leadville, Colorado, in a secluded corner of the Pando Valley, visible today from Highway 24. The CIA training facilities on base featured a mess hall, recreation hall, barracks, classrooms and latrines, all enclosed by an unassuming wooden fence – designed as much to deter the occasional hiker or miner as to maintain an air of insignificance. CIA trainers called it The Ranch, but to the Tibetans, the mountains of Colorado reminded them of home – they called it Dumra (The Garden), and the name stuck.
One of the trainees, Bhusang – a former doctor from Lhasa whose life would later be spared by the butt of a Chinese rifle after a tragic battle in Markham – recalled the landscape vividly:
“The camp was located at the foot of a low mountain. A broad valley with a river flowing through it lay before us. The mountains were beautiful, with forests and open areas in the distance, where people would ski in winter. We could see tiny figures of skiers gliding down the slopes. A railway line ran along the far side of the valley, and every evening, we would hear the lonely whistle of the freight train in the distance.”
Training was intense and tailored to the Tibetans’ needs. CIA officer John Kenneth Knaus lectured on history, political theory and espionage. Practical training covered guerrilla warfare, sabotage, radio communications, cryptography, survival skills, hand-to-hand combat, firearms and improvised explosives.
The CIA recruited professional smoke jumpers from the National Forest Service, known as the “Missoula Mafia,” to serve as parachute dispatch officers. Among them, “Mr. Jack” personally cut and stripped trees to build the platforms used for jump practice. Everyone liked “Tony Poe,” who was always joking and rode around camp on horseback, according to Thinlay Paljor (Rocky).
Since everything is Mockingbird now, let’s conclude today’s brief post with this strategic embarrassment and I’ll explain what you’re looking at:
When you know that Governor Spanberger was a CIA agent before becoming Virginia’s Governor, and when you know that the CIA flooded black neighborhoods with crack in the 80’s, this picture of the white, liberal, female Governor “busting a move” between two black men is really quite something.
For more on Abigail’s “intelligence” pedigree, all you have to do is consult Wikipedia:
Spanberger was born in New Jersey and moved frequently during her childhood before her family settled in Virginia. She earned degrees from the University of Virginia and Purdue University. From 2006 to 2014, she was an officer in the Central Intelligence Agency. She was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018, unseating incumbent Republican Dave Brat. She was reelected in 2020 and 2022 before leaving Congress to run for governor.
