The CIA has been using the Ministry of Propaganda for decades to shape public opinion.

He was paid exorbitant sums by the FBI/CIA/DOD through the Department of Defense Department’s Office of Net Assessment in 2016.

Well, well....... we all KNOW this goes on. Just HOW are we going to get anyone held accountable for this corruption?

This is why we have $700 hammers on the books, right?

Their self-assigned primary mission seems to be to overthrow governments around the world that they don’t like, including our own.

Looks like a lot of big press orgs are complicit - illegally so.

Would be a shame if some of the VIPs got exposed and arrested... before they start filing for Chap 11.

the intelligence community has co-opted the press to push anti-Trump conspiracy theories.

Let's be realistic here. Does anyone really believe the CIA only started using their coopted, immoral and fake media plants to spin their message merely when Trump became President?

So if that's true, what other propoganda has the CIA given us? For how long? And above all - how deep does their power go?

It’s not a conspiracy theory if it is true.

When George HW Bush first spoke about his New World Order, I did not take it seriously.
I should have.
All of us should have.

“This guy has to be thrown in the brig”

I figure he already has a book deal with Big Media against America.

And there is not enough credence given to the role of the intelligence services of our “allies” in this whole, sordid mess.

UK, Australia, Italy and others.

Not to mention our own.

This is truly a battle for Western Civilization itself.

World power, and the entire wealth of the world is the motive.

It’s nice to see Ignatius’s email address in the story.

They use first name.last name @ washpost.com

That means ANYONE can email him (or others) and tell him what a f’n schmuck he/they is/are.

Have at it!

...what other propoganda has the CIA given us?

Yellow cake, WMD, it's a slam dunk.

Still, Saddam did try nuclear, but the Israeli's ended that. And Saddam did gas his own people (Kurds) and Iranians with chemical weapons.

So he did have them. Just not anywhere near what the CIA told Bush.

"So if that's true, what other propoganda has the CIA given us? For how long? And above all - how deep does their power go? "

All excellent and deeply important questions. This may be why they are so arrogant. They are 'in the know', doing what 'they know is best' for us little unenlightened citizens, manipulating our thoughts and opinions for our own good.

The Future of Net Assessment at the Pentagon

Yesterday, the Washington Post reported that the Pentagon’s enigmatic internal think tank, the Office of Net Assessment, has received its directives on the future focus of its research and analysis efforts in the service of the U.S. Secretary of Defense.
In a June 4 memo titled “Guidance,” Defense Secretary Ashton Carter outlined that he expects the institution, which has a $10 million annual budget and is headed by ret. Air Force Col. James H. Baker, to focus its expertise more on current defense policy issues rather than hypothetical future threats.
...
Additionally, he wants the office’s work to emphasize “finding opportunities, rather than just challenges” and have stronger ties to the American intelligence agencies.

He’s a tool

All these clowns come from similar pedigrees

Emails Show Dossier-Connected Top Obama State Department Officials
Set ‘Face-to-Face’ Meeting on ‘Russian Matter’ in NY in September 2016
www.judicialwatch.org ^ | JULY 18, 2019 | Staff
FR Posted on 7/19/2019, 3:00:26 PM by Red Badger

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch and The Daily Caller News Foundation today released 84 pages of documents, including a September 2016 email exchange between then-Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Special Coordinator for Libya Jonathan Winer, a close associate of dossier author Christopher Steele, discussing a “face-to-face” meeting on a “Russian matter.”

(In June 2016 Nuland permitted a meeting between Steele and the FBI’s legal attaché in Rome. Nuland told CBS News that the State Department knew about the Steele dossier by July 2016.)

According to an op-ed Winer wrote for The Washington Post in 2018, also in September 2016, “Steele and I met in Washington and discussed the information now known as the “dossier… I prepared a two-page summary and shared it with Nuland, who indicated that, like me, she felt that the secretary of state needed to be made aware of this material.”

The documents obtained by Judicial Watch also show that State Department officials continued to use unsecure BlackBerry devices for the transmission of classified material more than a year after Hillary Clinton’s use of an unsecure, non-government email system was revealed.

Judicial Watch obtained the documents in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed on April 25, 2018, on behalf of itself and the Daily Caller News Foundation against the State Department after it failed to respond to three separate FOIA requests (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:18-cv- 00968)). The lawsuit seeks:

All records of communications between State Department officials, including former Secretary of State John Kerry, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, on the one hand, and British National Christopher Steele and/or employees or contractors of Steele’s company, Orbis Business Intelligence, on the other hand.

All records and/or memoranda provided by Christopher Steele and/or his firm Orbis Business Intelligence or by others acting on Steele’s/Orbis’s behalf, to State Department officials.

Any and all records in the custody of the State Department related to the provision of documents to British national Christopher Steele and/or his firm, Orbis Business Intelligence, or the receipt of documents from Steele or his firm. Time period is January 20, 2009 through the present.

All records created in 2016 by Jonathan M. Winer relating to research compiled by Christopher Steele.

A September 17, 2016, email exchange between Nuland and Winer – that was classified in the interest of national defense or foreign policy – discusses the political situation in Libya, but also brings up a “Russian matter:”

From: Winer, Jonathan Sent: September 17, 2016 at 12:40:00 PM EDT To: Nuland, Victoria J Subject: Re: Libya Update

Would like to discuss this and a Russian matter.

From: Nuland, Victoria J Sent: Saturday, September 17, 2016 1:31 PM To: Winer, Jonathan Subject: Re. Libya Update

In ny face to face?

From: Winer, Jonathan Sent: September 17, 2016 at 1:56:05 PM EDT To: Nuland, Victoria J Subject: Re: Libya Update

Yes that was [sic] be good.

From: Nuland, Victoria J Sent: Saturday, September 17, 2016 1:58 PM To: Winer, Jonathan Subject: Re. Libya Update

Good. I’ll reach out when im there Sunday. [Redacted]

Other emails show senior State Department personnel using unsecure BlackBerrys to transmit classified information even after the Clinton email scandal became public.

“The Obama State Department was central to the effort to target President Trump with the Russia smear,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “These new emails further show that senior Obama State Department advanced the Russiagate hoax just before the 2016 presidential election.”

Judicial Watch recently released 16 pages of documents revealing that Nuland and Winer coordinated with then-House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer’s (D-MD) national security advisor Daniel Silverberg to work on Russia dossier materials provided by Christopher Steele.

In December 2018, Judicial Watch released documents revealing that Nuland was involved in the Obama State Department’s urgent gathering of classified Russia investigation information and disseminating it to members of Congress within hours of Donald Trump taking office.

In a related lawsuit, Judicial Watch is suing the State Department communications between Ambassador Nuland and employees of Fusion GPS, as well as top ranking Department of Justice, FBI, and State Department officials.

Judicial Watch recently released 41 pages of documents from the State Department revealing that Winer, played a key role in facilitating Steele’s access to other top government officials, prominent international business executives. Winer was even approached by a movie producer about making a movie about the Russiagate targeting of President Trump.

Winer was implicated in working with Steele and Clinton associate Sidney Blumenthal to circulate the anti-Trump dossier.
