Most consumers of the corporate media were - and are - unaware of the
   effect that the salting of public opinion has on their own beliefs. A
   network anchorman in time of national crisis is an instrument of
   psychological warfare in the MOCKINGBIRD media. He is a creature from
   the national security sector's chamber of horrors. For this reason
   consumers of the corporate press have reason to examine their basic
   beliefs about government and life in the parallel universe of these
   United States.

MOCKINGBIRD

The Subversion Of The Free Press By The CIA

"You could get a journalist cheaper than a good call girl, for a couple hundred dollars a month." CIA operative discussing with Philip Graham, editor Washington Post, on the availability and prices of journalists willing to peddle CIA propaganda and cover stories. "Katherine The Great," by Deborah Davis (New York: Sheridan Square Press, 1991)

As terrible as it is to live in a nation where the press in known to be controlled by the government, at least one has the advantage of knowing the bias is present, and to adjust for it. In the United States of America, we are taught from birth that our press is free from such government meddling. This is an insideous lie about the very nature of the news institution in this country. One that allows the government to lie to us while denying the very fact of the lie itself.

   Who Controls the Media?

   Soulless corporations do, of course. Corporations with grinning,

   double-breasted executives, interlocking directorates, labor squabbles

   and flying capital. Dow. General Electric. Coca-Cola. Disney.

   Newspapers should have mastheads that mirror the world: The

   Westinghouse Evening Scimitar, The Atlantic-Richfield Intelligentser .

   It is beginning to dawn on a growing number of armchair ombudsmen that

   the public print reports news from a parallel universe - one that has

   never heard of politically-motivated assassinations, CIA-Mafia banking

   thefts, mind control, death squads or even federal agencies with

   secret budgets fattened by cocaine sales - a place overrun by lone

   gunmen, where the CIA and Mafia are usually on their best behavior. In

   this idyllic land, the most serious infraction an official can commit

   __is the employment of a domestic servant with (shudder) no

   residency status.

   This unlikely land of enchantment is the creation of MOCKINGBIRD.

   It was conceived in the late 1940s, the most frigid period of the cold

   war, when the CIA began a systematic infiltration of the corporate

   media, a process that often included direct takeover of major news

   outlets.

   In this period, the American intelligence services competed with

   communist activists abroad to influence European labor unions. With or

   without the cooperation of local governments, Frank Wisner, an

   undercover State Department official assigned to the Foreign Service,

   rounded up students abroad to enter the cold war underground of covert

   operations on behalf of his Office of Policy Coordination. Philip

   Graham, __a graduate of the Army Intelligence School in Harrisburg,

   PA, then publisher of the Washington Post., was taken under Wisner's

   wing to direct the program code-named Operation MOCKINGBIRD.

   "By the early 1950s," writes former Village Voice reporter Deborah

   Davis in Katharine the Great, "Wisner 'owned' respected members of the

   New York Times, Newsweek, CBS and other communications vehicles, plus

   stringers, four to six hundred in all, according to a former CIA

   analyst." The network was overseen by Allen Dulles, a templar for

   German and American corporations who wanted their points of view

   represented in the public print. Early MOCKINGBIRD influenced 25

   newspapers and wire agencies consenting to act as organs of CIA

   propaganda. Many of these were already run by men with reactionary

   views, among them William Paley (CBS), C.D. Jackson (Fortune), Henry

   Luce (Time) and Arthur Hays Sulzberger (N.Y. Times). 

   Activists curious about the workings of MOCKINGBIRD have since been

   appalled to f__ind in FOIA documents that agents boasting in CIA

   office memos of their pride in having placed "important assets" inside

   every major news publication in the country. It was not until 1982

   that the Agency openly admitted that reporters on the CIA payroll have

   acted as case officers to agents in the field.

   "World War III has begun," Henry's Luce's Life declared in March,

   1947. "It is in the opening skirmish stage already." The issue

   featured an excerpt of a book by James Burnham, who called for the

   creation of an "American Empire," "world-dominating in political

   power, set up at least in part through coercion (probably including

   war, but certainly the threat of war) and in which one group of people

   ... would hold more than its equal share of power."

   George Seldes, the famed anti-fascist media critic, drew down on Luce

   in 1947, explaining tha__t "although avoiding typical Hitlerian

   phrases, the same doctrine of a superior people taking over the world

   and ruling it, began to appear in the press, whereas the organs of

   Wall Street were much more honest in favoring a doctrine inevitably

   leading to war if it brought greater commercial markets under the

   American flag."

   On the domestic front, an abiding relationship was struck between the

   CIA and William Paley, a wartime colonel and the founder of CBS. A

   firm believer in "all forms of propaganda" to foster loyalty to the

   Pentagon, Paley hired CIA agents to work undercover at the behest of

   his close friend, the busy grey eminence of the nation's media, Allen

   Dulles. Paley's designated go-between in his dealings with the CIA was

   Sig Mickelson, president of CBS News from 1954 to 1961.

   The CIA's assimilation of old guard fascists was overseen by the

   Operations Coordination Board, directed by C.D. Jackson, formerly an

   executive of Time magazine and Eisenhower's Special Assistant for Cold

   War Strategy. In 1954 he was succeeded by Nelson Rockefeller, who quit

   a year later, disgusted at the administration's political infighting.

   Vice President Nixon succeeded Rockefeller as the key cold war

   strategist.

   "Nixon," writes John Loftus, a former attorney for the Justice

   Department's Office of Special Investigations, took "a small boy's

   delight in the arcane tools of the intelligence craft - the hidden

   microphones, the 'black' propaganda." Nixon especially enjoyed his

   visit to a Virginia training camp to observe Nazis in the "special

   forces" drilling at covert operations.

   One of the fugitives recruited by the American intelligence

   underground was heroin smuggler Hubert von Blucher, the son of A

   German ambassador. Hubert often bragged that that he was trained by

   the Abwehr, the German military intelligence division, while still a

   civilian in his twenties. He served in a recon unit of the German Army

   until forced out for medical reasons in 1944, according to his wartime

   records. He worked briefly as an assistant director for Berlin-Film on

   a movie entitled One Day ..., and finished out the war flying with the

   Luftwaffe, but not to engage the enemy - his mission was the smuggling

   of Nazi loot out of the country. His exploits were, in part, the

   subject of Sayer and Botting's Nazi Gold, an account of the knockover

   of the Reichsbank at the end of the war.

   In 1948 he flew the coop to Argentina. Posing as a photographer named

   Huberto von Bleucher Corell, he immediately paid court to Eva Peron,

   presenting her with an invaluable Gobelin tapestry (a selection from

   the wealth of artifacts confiscated by the SS from Europe's Jews?).

   Hubert then met with Martin Bormann at the Hotel Plaza to deliver

   German marks worth $80 million. The loot financed the birth of the

   National Socialist Party in Argentina, among other forms of Nazi

   revival.

   In 1951, Hubert migrated northward and took a job at the Color

   Corporation of America in Hollywood. He eked out a living writing

   scripts for the booming movie industry. His voice can be heard on a

   film set in the Amazon, produced by Walt Disney. Nine years later he

   returned to Buenos Aires, then Deusseldorf, West Germany, and

   established a firm that developed not movie scripts, but anti-chemical

   warfare agents for the government. At the Industrie Club in Deusseldorf

   in 1982, von Blucher boasted to journalists, "I am chief shareholder

   of Pan American Airways. I am the best friend of Howard Hughes. The

   Beach Hotel in Las Vegas is 45 percent financed by me. I am thus the

   biggest financier ever to appear in the Arabian Nights tales dreamed

   up by these people over their second bottle of brandy."

   Not really. Two the biggest financiers to stumble from the drunken

   dreams of world-moving affluence were, in their time, Moses Annenberg,

   publisher of The Philadelphia Inquirer, and his son Walter , the

   CIA/mob-anchored publisher of the TV Guide.  Like most American

   high-rollers, Annenberg lived a double life. Moses, his father, was a

   scion of the Capone mob. Both Moses and Walter were indicted in 1939

   for tax evasions totalling many millions of dollars - the biggest case

   in the history of the Justice Department. Moses pled guilty and agreed

   to pay the government $8 million and settle $9 million in assorted tax

   claims, penalties and interest debts. Moses received a three-year

   sentence. He died in Lewisburg Penitentiary.

   Walter Annenbeg, the TV Guide magnate, was a lofty Republican. On the

   campaign trail in April, 1988, George Bush flew into Los Angeles to

   woo Reagan's kitchen cabinet. "This is the topping on the cake,"

   Bush's regional campaign director told the Los Angeles Times. The Bush

   team met at Annenberg's plush Rancho Mirage estate at Sunnylands,

   California. It was at the Annenberg mansion that Nixon's cabinet was

   chosen, and the state's social and contributor registers built over a

   quarter-century of state political dominance by Ronald Reagan, whose

   acting career was launched by Operation MOCKINGBIRD.

   The commercialization of television, coinciding with Reagan's

   recruitment by the Crusade for Freedom, a CIA front, presented the

   intelligence world with unprecedented potential for sowing propaganda

   and even prying in the age of Big Brother. George Orwell glimpsed the

   possibilities when he installed omniscient video surveillance

   technology in 1948, a novel rechristened 1984 for the first edition

   published in the U.S. by Harcourt, Brace. Operation Octopus, according

   to federal files, was in full swing by 1948, a surveillance program

   that turned any television set with tubes into a broadcast

   transmitter. Agents of Octopus could pick up audio and visual images

   with the equipment as far as 25 miles away.

   Hale Boggs was investigating Operation Octopus at the time of his

   disappearance in the midst of the Watergate probe.

   In 1952, at MCA, Actors' Guild president Ronald Reagan - a screen idol

   recruited by MOCKINGBIRD's Crusade for Freedom to raise funds for the

   resettlement of Nazis in the U.S., according to Loftus - signed a

   secret waiver of the conflict-of-interest rule with the mob-controlled

   studio, in effect granting it a labor monopoly on early television

   programming. In exchange, MCA made Reagan a part owner. Furthermore,

   historian C. Vann Woodward, writing in the New York Times, in 1987,

   reported that Reagan had "fed the names of suspect people in his

   organization to the FBI secretly and regularly enough to be assigned

   'an informer's code number, T-10.' His FBI file indicates intense

   collaboration with producers to 'purge' the industry of subversives."

   No one ever turned a suspicious eye on Walter Cronkite, a former

   intelligence officer and in the immediate postwar period UPI's Moscow

   correspondent. Cronkite was lured to CBS by Operation MOCKINGBIRD's

   Phil Graham, according to Deborah Davis.

   Another television conglomerate, Cap Cities, rose like a horror-film

   simian from CIA and Mafia heroin operations. Among other

   organized-crime Republicans, Thomas Dewey and his neighbor Lowell

   Thomas threw in to launch the infamous Resorts International, the

   corporate front for Lansky's branch of the federally-sponsored mob

   family and the corporate precursor to Cap Cities. Another of the

   investors was James Crosby, a Cap Cities executive who donated

   $100,000 to Nixon's 1968 presidential campaign. This was the year that

   Resorts bought into Atlantic City casino interests. Police in New

   jersey attempted, with no success, to spike the issuance of a gambling

   license to the company, citing Mafia ties.

   In 1954, this same circle of investors, all Catholics, founded the

   broadcasting company notorious for overt propagandizing and general

   spookiness. The company's chief counsel was OSS veteran William Casey,

   who clung to his shares by concealing them in a blind trust even after

   he was appointed CIA director by Ronald Reagan in 1981.

   "Black radio" was the phrase CIA critic David Wise coined in The

   Invisible Government to describe the agency's intertwining interests

   in the emergence of the transistor radio with the entrepreneurs who

   took to the airwaves. "Daily, East and West beam hundreds of

   propaganda broadcasts at each other in an unrelenting babble of

   competition for the minds of their listeners. The low-price transistor

   has given the hidden war a new importance," enthused one foreign

   correspondent.

   A Hydra of private foundations sprang up to finance the propaganda

   push. One of them, Operations and Policy Research, Inc. (OPR),

   received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the CIA through private

   foundations and trusts. OPR research was the basis of a television

   series that aired in New York and Washington, D.C. in 1964, Of People

   and Politics, a "study" of the American political system in 21 weekly

   installments.

   In Hollywood, the visual cortex of The Beast, the same CIA/Mafia

   combination that formed Cap Cities sank its claws into the film

   studios and labor unions. Johnny Rosselli was pulled out of the Army

   during the war by a criminal investigation of Chicago mobsters in the

   film industry. Rosselli, a CIA asset probably assassinated by the CIA,

   played sidekick to Harry Cohn, the Columbia Pictures mogul who visited

   Italy's Benito Mussolini in 1933, and upon his return to Hollywood

   remodeled his office after the dictator's. The only honest job

   Rosselli ever had was assistant purchasing agent (and a secret

   investor) at Eagle Lion productions, run by Bryan Foy, a former

   producer for 20th Century Fox. Rosselli, Capone's representative on

   the West Coast, passed a small fortune in mafia investments to Cohn.

   Bugsy Seigel pooled gambling investments with Billy Wilkerson,

   publisher of the Hollywood Reporter. 

   In the 1950s, outlays for global propaganda climbed to a full third of

   the CIA's covert operations budget. Some 3,000 salaried and contract

   CIA employees were eventually engaged in propaganda efforts. The cost

   of disinforming the world cost American taxpayers an estimated $265

   million a year by 1978, a budget larger than the combined expenditures

   of Reuters, UPI and the AP news syndicates.

   In 1977, the Copely News Service admitted that it worked closely with

   the intelligence services - in fact, 23 employees were full-time

   employees of the Agency.

   Most consumers of the corporate media were - and are - unaware of the

   effect that the salting of public opinion has on their own beliefs. A

   network anchorman in time of national crisis is an instrument of

   psychological warfare in the MOCKINGBIRD media. He is a creature from

   the national security sector's chamber of horrors. For this reason

   consumers of the corporate press have reason to examine their basic

   beliefs about government and life in the parallel universe of these

   United States.

My last question for Robert Goldsborough had to do with a subject you won't find mentioned in the mainline press. In fact, you won't find many discussing the subject....I asked if there was a spiritual dimension that he was aware of regarding those who control the world with their wealth... did he believe that those in the Network of Power knew that they were working for Satan...He told me that in '53 or '54 there was a gentleman named Lee Lorraine, a devout convert to the Catholic Faith, who was one of those who were sent to interview the top few wealthy of the world (For the Reese Commission I believe) for Congress....delving into the conspiracy situation. Mr. Lorraine, if I am not mistaken, told Mr. Goldsborough that he believed that two of the interviewees were indeed possessed by the Devil.... said that the eyes of the two possessed seem to be reaching out for help - asking him to help them be freed of Satanic possession. Mr. Lorraine did not divulge which two world power figures these were. We can only suppose from the prophetical times in which we live, that such possession is not isolated.

WHO ARE THE SCUMBAGS?

The image of the American president is something that is carefully manufactured by the illusion makers in the national media establishment. George H. Bush's father was a director on the board of CBS and arranged for the credit to allow William Paley to buy CBS outright. Paley hired Sigmund Freud's nephew, Edward Bernays, as his chief adviser. In 1928, the same year Paley started CBS, Bernays wrote Propaganda, in which he revealed that:

Those who manipulate the organized habits and opinions of the masses constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of the country....It remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by a relatively small number of persons....It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world....As civilization has become more complex, and as the need for invisible government has been increasingly demonstrated, the technical means have been invented and developed by which opinion may by regimented.

The present-day socialist dictatorship is now presenting itself as the only solution to the world's crisis - a crisis they planned and precipitated over the past century. They have created both the poison and the antidote in the same laboratory, and their salvation is the only reasonable solution for a world that has forgotten God and sold its soul to the World Bank. While God made man in His image, aliens have snatched them away while they slept.
