CIA Propaganda Operations: Washington Post Anti-Russia 'Hacker' Propaganda

ministry of tokyo 'RUSSIAN' HACKER - WASHINGTON POST PROPAGANDA extract —Yasha Levine https://surveillancevalley.com/blog/on-russia-hacking-american-democracy http://archive.is/IVD3o extract WASHINGTON POST So much effort has been thrown at implicating the Russians in some way and none of the evidence has stuck  ... The paper offered no evidence to back up its shocking claims, but relied on secret claims made by a shady anonymous group called PropOrNot, which compiled a blacklist of American news outlets it considers to be Russian agents engaging in treason. PropOrNot's story is already unraveling. The group admitted to lying about its partnering organizations and refuses to disclose why its media blacklist of “Russian agents” contains some of the best journalists in recent history: Robert Parry (who helped break the Iran-Contra scandal), Robert Scheer (who helped expose CIA funding of student groups in the 1960s as editor at Ramparts) and Yves Smith (the fearless founder of an invaluable and respected financial blog, nakedcapitalism.com). It’s shocking and disturbing that WaPo would smear respected journalists as traitors with no evidence. It appears there's a chance that PropOrNot is connected to groups funded the Broadcasting Board of Governors, a CIA spinoff that manages the U.S. government's foreign propaganda division. If true, that would make PropOrNot's activities illegal — in violation of a federal law that prohibits the BBG from intentionally influencing or swaying public opinion inside the United States. Creating blacklists of American journalists, labelling them as traitors and then circulating this information to American newspapers would certainly fall into that category. Maybe Russia has the means to “hack” America’s elections, but it's hard to talk about it without real evidence. Sure, Russia’s been getting into the psyops game much more lately — with fake and biased news, comment trolls and Twitter bots. It’s cheap and effective, and good at exploiting people’s increasing lack trust in their country's institutions and political process.  [comment:  I disagree with this point - see below] It’s cheap and effective, and good at exploiting people’s increasing lack trust in their country's institutions and political process. But in reality it seems to have very little penetration of America's media landscape. Let's face it: life is miserable and getting more miserable by the day for most Americans — and no one in power seems to care one way or another. Americans don't need a Russian Twitter bot to undermine their trust in the Democratic Party. And anyway, this kind of propaganda psyops isn't anything that the United States isn’t doing at this very moment against Russia on a much bigger level — just look at Tor, Internet Freedom and Radio Free Europe. NSA and CIA and U.S. Naval intelligence and President Obama ... No one has said a thing. They’re all moving with the transition as normal. Whereas if it was really true, this info would not be coming from some anonymous outfit set up last week. The U.S. would be gearing up for real war with Russia. [comment:   I believe the US-Ango-EU-NATO capitalist military, political and propaganda media agents are actually gearing up for indoctrinating the Western the public for war with Russia.   But this is not war arising from to what amounts to anonymous - likely CIA-propaganda-machine connected - 'Russian hacking' allegations, made groundlessly throughout the Western capitalist oligarchy CIA-NATO-friendly propaganda media, in terms of cause.  Rather, the cause of 'Russian hacking', anti-Russian and anti Russian media propaganda,  is the Western capitalist plan for war with Russia. It is because the capitalist oligarchy has targeted Russia for capitalist exploitation (the path to which is war), just as a predator targets, stalks and takes down prey - and that the Western capitalist propaganda arises out of that agenda and is effectively a 'stalking' of prey behaviour, designed to influence and control public opinion. Look at the NATO bases inching towards Moscow; look at the long-range missiles trained on Russia by NATO; look at the CIA-coup in Ukraine and the US capitalist (EU-NATO) grip on former Soviet satellite states; look at the vicious sanctions placed on Russia and the US-Anglo-EU capitalist oligarchy attempt to destroy the Russian economy; look at the US-Anglo-EU oligarchy's aggression in Syria, Russia's ally and Middle Eastern base.   Look at the vicious anti-Putin and anti-Russia propaganda (see  an inappropriately vilified Putin, depicted as a demon, on the cover of The Economist, for example); see the incessant Western capitalist oligarchy media attack & that of their scoundrel hysteria and propaganda public spin-doctoring performances, politicians - eg. Boris Johnson (UK) and other Western capitalist oligarchy serving foreign ministers joining the propaganda performing chorus; and the constant lying stream of preposterous US-NATO capitalist oligarchy serving anti-Russia propaganda that streams from the Scandinavian and Baltic states - worst offenders, in my opinion:  Sweden and Lithuania.   ] —Yasha Levine UPDATE: Max Blumenthal debunked PropOrNot blacklist smears in Alternet. Mathew Ingram did the same in Fortune. https://surveillancevalley.com/blog/on-russia-hacking-american-democracy http://archive.is/IVD3o COMMENT Enjoyed looking at this article. The layout above isn't how it appears in the originally - and I've just lifted the bits I personally found of note. Full article is at the links provided. I would, however, disagree with the following statement: Sure, Russia’s been getting into the psyops game much more lately — with fake and biased news, comment trolls and Twitter bots. I find Russian news to be of a revelatory standard that is by far superior to Western capitalist controlled media. The two Russian targets that are in the Western propaganda and 'regulation' (ie censorship) sights of US-Anglo-NATO capitalists and their CIA (& associated agency) propaganda, smear, delegitimisation and distrust-sowing ops efforts - eg. Russia's RT News and Sputnik Western capitalist smear targets - are actually excellent, factual and unbiased, in my opinion.  Of course, standards between different Russian media outlets and private blogging enterprises (Russian or sympathetic to Russia ... or purporting to be 'Russian') - or simply media deliberately posing as 'Russian', but not necessarily Russian or from a Russophobic source  (eg.   from the disaffected, convicted, former 'Russian' oligarchs in exile and their brigade of sponsored intelligentsia 'trolls' etc) - would vary not only in terms of quality and standard, but also in terms of motivation and spin .  As for Russian 'bots' - everyone that can see things from a non-indoctrinated and non Western capitalist oligarchy serving, or ideologically compliant, perspective, can expect to be harassed by Western capitalism's media, social media and capitalist-sponsored 'grass-roots' trolls and other proxies, screaming:  'Kremlin troll!' ... which is rather hilarious. The propaganda, the indoctrination, the bias, the lies, with withholding of information, the spin-doctoring,  and the social media trolling (by the Western capitalist sponsored intelligentsia and virtually all of mainstream capitalist controlled media journalists, presenters, writers, plus the sports and entertainment industry (as well as CORPORATIONS and their representatives incessantly forcing ideology, propaganda and indoctrination on the unwary masses), is a 24/7 US-Anglo-EU-NATO capitalist oligarchy friendly propaganda operation that is at a disadvantage when foreign independent media reports as close to the truth as foreign independent media may do, without incurring Western capitalist censorship body penalties for being truthful. Such are spun as something entirely different when the foreign media is targeted and then smeared in the Western capitalist controlled media, while bullied by Western capitalist media censorship bodies.   Foreign media may not defend itself by publicly discussing 'charges' brought against it by these Western capitalist oligarchy censorship boards etc - eg. RT News. Not also, that the Western capitalist oligarchy funds its own social media trolls, by way of a vast network of sponsored 'progressive' (and other) NGOs, pursuing, reinforcing, enforcing and echoing capitalist serving ideology in the media, in 'alternate' (also capitalist sponsored) 'controlled opposition' media  and in social media, as well as in the community.  That is the suffocating extent of Western ideological, social and political propaganda, indoctrination and suppression activities, quietly deployed in the service of Western capitalist ruling oligarchy's interests and aim. The 'free' West is not free at all:  a man cannot be free if the information that he is provided with to make sense of his world and his decisions is censored, distorted or falsified, as it is in the Western capitalist oligarchy controlled propaganda and indoctrination media machine that's closely aligned with government, government agencies such as CIA, along with the military and entertainment propaganda complexes. Western capitalist society is entirely without substance:  what we see reflected as 'reality' or representation of our understood history, our daily news, our societies, our institutions, our politicians and our societal 'reality' is nothing but LIES.

SWEDEN: 80 Percent of Media Same Owners, Sweden Democrats Motion

SWEDEN NEWS  EXTRACTS Sweden  friatider: "The entire eighty percent of the media is owned and controlled by the same owners." [source Friatider] Motion by MP Anna Hagwall Submitted to Swedish Parliament http://archive.is/Wi0Bg One controversy is about a motion that MP Anna Hagwall recently submitted to parliament. In the short motion advocates Hagwall a press subsidies abolished, and also wants to see a greater spread of ownership of the Swedish media companies. - Let the little Bonnierska newspapers in the provinces go under. No family, ethnic group or company should be allowed to control more than five per cent of the media, she writes in an email to Aftonbladet. Hagwall want to draw in press subsidies to Bonnier-owned newspapers, even though most of the group's magazines do not get press support.

Hillary Clinton's Damage-Control Spin-Doctors Fail to Convince

ministry of tokyo document via CNN | mark-up:  tokyo [RIGHT-CLICK IMAGE, 'NEW TAB'] LYING CAPITALIST BASTARDS Checking out what the response is to the latest stunning WikiLeaks release (The Podesta E-mails): [  Try 'WEAPONISED MEDIA PROPAGANDA' ] Propaganda article headline: 'Weaponised' WikiLeaks dumps Hillary Clinton's speeches to Wall Street [LINK ARTICLE] is attempting to associate a media organisation providing whistleblower information to the public as 'weaponised' by conflating the made up propaganda-babble with the whistleblower publishing organisation, WikiLeaks ... before going on to refer to whistleblower media publishing as the act of 'dumping'.  Nice one. Meanwhile, they're dumping American propaganda on the unsuspecting public. Note reference to 'McClatchy' at base of what is ostensibly an 'Australian' article and the further reference to McClatchy, which is merely an American publishing company (which is not explained), in the body of the article, as if this American publishing organisation is somehow the oracle of authenticating digital data ... which nobody is claiming is *not* authentic, as US politicians and their handlers duck and weave, refusing to confirm authenticity (which is a dead give-way ... and WikiLeaks has a 100% record of providing authentic documents, so I'm going to take a wild guess and say that these are authentic documents provided to the organisation by a whistleblower): "McClatchy could not verify the authenticity of the emails" Ho-hum.  So much for that nowhere information that could potentially lead an unsuspecting reader to believe that the documents themselves could not be authenticated.  LOL.  Sneaky capitalist press needs a good, hard  spanking. Information regarding 'McClatchy' below: The McClatchy Company established:  1857 159-year history publicly traded US publishing company Sacramento, California Revenue  US$ 1.056 Billion (2015) [wikipedia] Article is very sneaky:  "... revelation that may perpetuate criticism" The choice of words intends, in my opinion, to soften or blunt the stark reality of what these revelations disclose about candidate Clinton, and the words "perpetuate criticism" would almost suggest that criticism is undeserved ... as if criticism of candidate Clinton lies in a vacuum that is divorced of the facts of the global chaos that has been generated by the former US Secretary of State, Clinton, while in public office. That's how I take it when I see Clinton presented in this manner in the media, after exposure of her duplicity and patent unsuitability as President of a nation that is effectively a world hegemon. "anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks" Subtle presentation of the whistleblower publisher media organisation, WikiLeaks, in a negative light:  as 'anti-secrecy' VERSUS being pro-transparency.   Very sneaky, especially when we consider the fact that you cannot have a democracy without a high level of integrity, transparency and informed public consent. "Clinton's campaign declined to confirm authenticity ..." Of course it declined. Denial and #BlamePutin is apparently US capitalist politician fall-back strategy. "Obama administration accused Russia of being behind the hacking of Democratic National Committee computers in June ..." Errrrr, not exactly.  Look at the joint US government agency statement document highlighted above. US officials sought to smear and made allegations about their ehem, 'beliefs', before proceeding to state: "We are not now in a position to attribute this activity to the Russian Government" The sneaks have thrown in the word 'now' to give the impression that they will some day substantiate their smear.  LOL So there you have it.  US government cannot attribute to the Russian government activity that led to release of information, just as the Russian government spokesman says.  LOL Meanwhile in the capitalist owned press: CLINTON CAMPAIGN SPOX via McCLATHCY via SYDNEY MORNING HERALD "Earlier today the US government removed any reasonable doubt that the Kremlin has weaponised WikiLeaks to meddle in our election and benefit Donald Trump's candidacy," Clinton campaign spokesman Glen Caplin said. "We are not going to confirm the authenticity of stolen documents released by Julian Assange, who has made no secret of his desire to damage Hillary Clinton." What the f*ck?  Can Glen Caplin not read, or is he spinning the public tosh?  Given the US DHS and DNI joint statement above, specifically stating: "We are not now in a position to attribute this activity to the Russian Government" Not only is the Kremlin being smeared here, so is Aussie journalist-publisher, Julian Assange, who is accused of harbouring a "desire to damage" the Witch of Wall Street, after WikiLeaks have published public interest whistleblower material released to the organisation ... versus suppressing this vital public interest information, as perhaps the capitalist-owned and controlled, propaganda press would have done? LMAO ...  "documents can be faked as part of a sophisticated Russian misinformation campaign". Now they're suggesting they're faked documents:  documents they refuse to authenticate.  Hello?  LOL TO APPEAR BALANCED, WESTERN CAPITALIST MEDIA PUBLISHES THE FOLLOWING ... but after all the spin-doctoring in Western media, and after decades of Cold War anti-Russian / anti-Slavic entertainment media propaganda being broadcast from capitalist-controlled Hollywood, who in the West is likely to accept the world of an unknown Russian minister, one might ask: "There is no proof whatsoever for such grave accusations," [Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov] "(They are) ...fabricated by those who are now serving an obvious political order in Washington, continuing to whip up unprecedented anti-Russian hysteria."    [Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov] The capitalist-owned & capitalist serving media immediately then highlights the Clinton Campaign Spox spin: “The Kremlin has weaponised WikiLeaks to meddle in our election and benefit Donald Trump's candidacy.”  [Glen Caplin, Clinton campaign spokesman] Throughout the article is an attempt to dignify and elevate what is an unindicted criminal, capitalist-backed presidential candidate, Shillary Clinton, with the title:  'Mrs Clinton'.  As if, being associated with unindicted war criminal and molester of staff Bill Clinton, is somehow an honour. "Clinton has repeatedly refused to release transcripts of her speeches" Ummmm ... no wonder, when she dreams of a global capitalist slave state and destruction of national boundaries and homelands. SINCE 2013, SHILLARY CLINTON MADE: $US21.5 million ($28 million) on speeches post role as US Secretary of State [SMH] Goldman Sachs 24 Oct 2013 speech, Clinton sings the praises of "Wall Street insiders" and their remarkable ability to self-regulate.  Guess Shillary knows which side her bread's buttered on?  LOL The article then dwells at length on Shillary Clinton's smear against US capitalist targets:  China and Russia. However, it is the US that has been spying not only on all US citizens in secret and in contravention of rights enshrined in the US constitution, but has also spying on entire countries abroad and on their leaders, in partnership with their capitalist offsider's agents, GCHQ. Reince Priebus, the Republican National Committee chairman: "With today's WikiLeaks revelations we are finding out who Hillary Clinton really is, and it's not hard to see why she fought so hard to keep her transcripts of speeches to Wall Street banks paying her millions of dollars secret" ""The truth that has been exposed here is that the persona Hillary Clinton has adopted for her campaign is a complete and utter fraud. How can Bernie Sanders and many like-minded Democrats continue to support her candidacy in light of these revelations?"" Surprised the article included this comment from the RNC chairman, who sums it up quite correctly. How can Bernie Sanders and Democrats continue to support Shillary's candidacy? Uuummmm ... maybe they're much the same scumbags Shillary is. Elon University Poll:  "effect would be minimal" LOL ... assuming the 'poll' is not an attempt at capitalist social engineering in favour of Wall Street's presidential candidate. Otherwise, no wonder the 'effect would be minimal' when all mainstream media ownership is concentrated in capitalist conglomerate hands and comprises a mere six (6) controlling capitalist interests. "Hey, look over there-- " McClatchy (or is it SMH?) then inserts some garbage about Trump having allegedly uttered something about grabbing women "by the pussy", circa 2005.  That's about as good as calling someone a c*nt back in 1988. NEVER MIND PUSSY ... CONSIDER US CAPITALIST GLOBAL DOMINATION & CAPITALIST MILITARY MIGHT IN HANDS OF ONE WHO HAS ALREADY MISUSED THAT IMMENSE POWER Take it that Trump is not running around grabbing vaginas, or women would have been suing in droves by now ... so how relevant is this in the wider non-indoctrinated (and non-Pavlovian) scheme of things, when you have a US presidential candidate that advocates a public and a private face (which should be of real concern, not only to the US but to countries with alliances with this capitalist train-wreck); and a US presidential candidate that was instrumental in destroying the economy of Iran; the destruction of Libya during the US and allied capitalist orchestrated coup and attendant war of aggression on Libya - where Hillary Clinton, as US Secretary of State, went against the advice of US military of the time, committing instead the destruction of a functioning state that was cooperative with the US, that led to the brutal torture-murder of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi (which Hillary has a giggle about in the video below), the subsequent killing in Libya of a US Ambassador and other US officers, the arming of surrounding Islamists, the CIA engineered destruction of Syria by channelling weapons and Islamists to Syria, the rise of Islamic terrorism in the region and the resulting civil war that has been destroying the country since 2011, plus the displacement of millions that are flooding Europe. Some good comments at YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmIRYvJQeHM There's more here on Hillary Clinton's various 'achievements', if anyone's interested. But Trump said something stupid about 'pussy' in 2005 and we should all be outraged by such a thing? Does anyone in actually swallow this capitalist owned and controlled media garbage these days? Unfortunately, I suspect that this sneaky sort of propaganda is generally quite effective, because the time-poor public usually does not comb over the narrative of the propaganda press and propaganda politicians, or otherwise invest time in connecting the dots in order to establish a more coherent picture that's absent from capitalist propaganda isolated propaganda pieces that are broadcast to the unsuspecting Western public by their Czarist US-Anglo Capitalist masters.

CIA, Media, Communications Professor & CIA PsyOps

Planet Tokyo Hanging to get into some interesting news, but I feel like I've been run over by a truck.  Face feels swollen; think I'm getting an ulcer; even my back hurts; and I can barely concentrate to read ... but I'm hoping to come good again after a couple of coffees or something.   LOL Looked at the CIA and the media article by James F Tracy, but I can't really focus on all that detail. Although the writer is referred to as a 'conspiracy theory professor' and 'the so-called nutty professor' [DailyMail], I'm pretty sure the material on the CIA is verifiable. James F Tracy, tenured professor of media studies, was fired from Florida Atlantic University for his analysis of the Sandy Hook shootings.  In turn, Tracy has filed a claim against the university. Dr. Tracy, an award-winning American academic with expertise in communications, media, and conspiracy studies, was awarded lifetime tenure by Florida Atlantic University in 2008. He holds a Ph.D. in mass communications and taught courses at FAU in Communications, including a course entitled “Culture of Conspiracy”. Tracy won a Project Censored award in 2013 for the story, “Wireless Technology: A Looming Health Crisis,” which was featured in Censored 2013: Dispatches From the Media Revolution. FAU school officials first threatened Tracy with disciplinary action after a defamatory local and national media attack concerning Tracy’s online postings in early 2013. However, the University’s administration withdrew its initial threats following intervention by Tracy’s union representatives at UFF and FEA. In late 2015, Professor Tracy was again threatened with disciplinary action for requesting clarification on and questioning changes made to the University’s vague and confusing “Conflict of Interest/Outside Activities” policy. Instead of coming to his aid, Tracy’s faculty union representatives, including representatives and officials from UFF and FEA, conspired with and aided the University in terminating Tracy’s tenured employment—denying him meaningful representation and defense against the University’s threatened discipline. globalresearch Think it's weird of the media to refer to a tenured communications professor as being 'the so-called nutty professor' and 'conspiracy theory professor' (instead of communications professor, or whatever his official title was), and when he tough taught a 'the culture of conspiracy' course, which presumably examined ... conspiracy.  LOL [can't type straight today] Paul Craig Roberts Why Was Professor James F. Tracy Fired? If the official line on the Sandy Hook school shooting is correct, why would a tenured university professor be fired for examining the official story? When people have to be fired for looking into things, it means what is being looked into cannot stand the light of day. paulcraigroberts I started looking at the CIA and the media, because I have trouble believing that the Pentagon Papers affair was genuine (versus some CIA op itself). When the media is capitalist owned, CIA infiltrated, complicit, controlled etc, in oligarchy controlled USA (and has been for decades, and a press that was most likely capitalist controlled since the invention of the printing press ... which few peasants or non-shill working-class people would make use of / plus a film industry that is likewise in control of capitalists), why would a CIA collaborator such as The New York Times be actually publishing anything the CIA didn't want the public to know about? "Pentagon Papers, CIA and the Lies of Daniel Ellsberg" Ellsberg’s connections to the heroin trade’s principal players, the fact he’d been in liaison with the CIA covert war (separate to the regular military) bosses and was plugged into the highest levels of the Indochina covert operations scene, as his work assignment. Related to this, Ellsberg had taken on covert operations assignments in Saigon for the CIA chief of station. One of Ellsberg’s colleagues of that era then drops the bombshell he was the one who’d passed along instruction for Ellsberg to release the Pentagon Papers. This person is a contact Valentine had been sent to by former CIA Director and one time CIA Vietnam ‘dirty war’ (Phoenix Program) boss William Colby, who incidently (1996) almost certainly was murdered for having been too free with giving up the agency’s dirty laundry. Moreover, it is credibly alleged William Colby himself had sent on the instruction for the Pentagon Papers release. Finally, the question is raised, why is Ellsberg still associating with those very CIA people he worked with in Vietnam (he avoids talking about in his autobiography), decades after the fact? Valentine’s research matches the entirely independent (and highly suppressed) material in the exposé of a former Pentagon liaison to the CIA, ‘The Secret Team‘, by Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty. The reasons given for the Pentagon Papers release, by both Valentine and Prouty, is to shift any scrutiny and public attention away from the CIA and its activities in Vietnam; inclusive of narcotics trafficking & dirty war assassinations (Valentine’s focus) and how clandestine CIA policies were implemented to the detriment of the USA national interest (Prouty’s focus.) We have been saying that the release of the Pentagon Papers by the former CIA agent and long-time associate of Edward G. Lansdale, Daniel Ellsberg, may have been the opening attack by the CIA to cover its disengagement not only from the physical conflict in Indochina, but also from the historical record of that disastrous event. In this effort, the CIA appears to be trying to hide behind its own best cover story, that it is only an intelligence agency and that its fine intelligence work during the past twenty years on the subject of Southeast Asia is all that we should remember. Now we find in Cooper another CIA apologist using the Foreign Affairs review to follow up and to praise Ellsberg. In fact, Cooper’s exhilaration in his task gets the better of him when he says, “Thanks to Daniel Ellsberg …” he means it! This near-endorsement of Ellsberg by a CIA writer in the publication of the Council on Foreign Relations is all the more significant when one learns that this Council is supported by foundations which are in turn directed by men from the Bechtel Corporation, Chase Manhattan Bank, Cummins Engine, Corning Glass, Kimberly-Clark, Monsanto Chemical, and dozens of others. Not long ago, the political scientist Lester Milbraith noted that “the Council on Foreign Relations, while not financed by government, works so closely with it that it is difficult to distinguish Council actions stimulated by government from autonomous actions.” ... ronaldthomaswest archive.is It looks like this article by Ronald Thomas West might be part of an eight-part series. Not sure I can even get through this single article.  I'll try to wade through it after another cigarette. I'm wrecked.

CIA Ties to Hollywood on Verge of Being Exposed June 27, 2016 By Clarice Palmer An amendment added to Congress’ annual intelligence spending bill may help the public gain a better idea of the U.S. government’s relationship with Hollywood. According to VICE News, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), and committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-NC), included an amendment to S. 3017 that would require the Director of National Intelligence to submit reports detailing the relationship between the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agencies and Hollywood. It would also require 15 other agencies to disclose the nature of their relationships with the film industry. These reports would have to be presented annually to congressional oversight committees. Between 2006 and 2011, VICE reported, the CIA’s Office of Public Affairs (OPA) had a role in at least 22 of the U.S. entertainment industry’s projects. Some of the productions listed by VICE included the films Argo and Zero Dark Thirty, television shows like Top Chef and Covert Affairs, and documentaries such as the History channel’s Air America and the BBC’s The Secret War on Terror. The book, The Devil’s Light, also had the help of the CIA. Some of the most controversial findings regarding the relationship between OPA officials and Hollywood insiders were tied to the blockbuster, Zero Dark Thirty. According to the redacted and previously classified December 2012 CIA report released by Judicial Watch, the CIA granted “‘secret level’ access to the makers of the movie Zero Dark Thirty.” According to VICE, “filmmakers Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal showered CIA officers involved in the operation with gifts and received unprecedented access, which included the disclosure of classified information to Bigelow and Boal by CIA director Leon Panetta.” While these revealing facts shocked the world at the time of their release, the relationship between the CIA and the entertainment industry actually dates back to the 1950s. According to an interview with Public Radio International, Tricia Jenkins, author of The CIA in Hollywood, says that the CIA “developed a think tank to fight communist ideology, which negotiated the rights to George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ – getting a talking pig on the screen 20 years before ‘Charlotte’s Web.’” The agency pressed for “line changes in 1950s scripts to make black characters more dignified, and white characters more tolerant” in order to promote “an attractive image of America to a world picking sides in the Cold War.” In 1996, PRI reports, the CIA employed a Hollywood liaison. Chase Brandon was the cousin of actor Tommy Lee Jones, a relationship that lent the agency a great number of valuable Hollywood connections. After Brandon was brought on, Jenkins explains, the portrayal of the CIA changed:     Before the 1990s, in films like ‘Three Days of the Condor’, the CIA was portrayed as evil, amoral assassins, or sometimes buffoons, like Max on the TV show ‘Get Smart’. “Now,” Jenkins told PRI, “it’s a much more favorable presentation. Frequently being depicted as a moral organization that is highly efficient. It rarely makes mistakes, it’s needed more than ever.” PRI reports that some of the productions that had received support from the CIA since the 1990s included The Sum of All Fears. Television productions such as 24, Homeland, and Alias, which ran in the 2000s, also received CIA guidance and input. Uglier Hollywood portraits have also been produced without the CIA consent, such as Syriana, which was developed with the help of former agents. Once Feinstein’s and Burr’s amendment, along the Intelligence Authorization bill, is voted on by the Senate, we may know more about the relationship between Hollywood and the CIA.

Chose Yandex because I have some hope of reading Russian, whereas I'd be totally lost looking at, say, Chinese.  Plus, I especially like the Russians.  Legacy of Boris and Natasha cartoon programming?  LOL After spending pretty much the whole day messing around with Russian Yandex, I've found that there's an English version ... I think. Hard to explain.  I'm not where I was.  Thought I found an English version before system crashed for the millionth time, and before I gave up (for the time being). Spent the day doing nothing.  It's freaking me out how much time has passed while I've done nothing but crash and look up the occasional Russian word, flip from search engine to search engine, uninstall and re-install, fiddle with finding Linux commads to remove and to reinstate what I'd removed etc.   It's insane how much time has gone and I've done nothing.  But I've learnt to find the name of programs on Linux, in order to purge (which is a plus) ... but the purge didn't seem to work.  When I reinstalled etc, all my imported bookmarks were there and I could even access the tabs prior to the last crash, so that was no purge.  Don't know what went wrong. I'm back in Firefox for the time being, because the PC has crashed about a million times playing with Yandex, and I can't take any more.   Tried to find a method of figuring out what's wrong in Ubuntu but it's too complicated for me.   I'm not up for simulated crashes or post-crash analysis.  I was hoping for something simple.  As in REALLY simple.  It's taken me forever just to figure out how to re-enable cookies on Firefox so that I can get on here, because f#%$@ Google won't let me on unless I enable. Yandex is described the world's fourth-largest search engine.  Has a substantial market share on its home turf  (plus regional) and is a competitor to the invading Google. Frustrated a little by not being able to specify the ENGLISH version of the site in the list of search engine options -- and being unable to list any more search engines, after having added in DuckDuckGo.  Not sure if they have a search engine list limit, or if I was just doing something wrong. It's fun playing with the Russian version, but not being able to read Cyrillic script is a drawback -- it becomes a hassle of either trying to manually translate or do alphabetical look-ups to get a clue (when you can't use copy & paste).  Very tiring.  But it's unnecessary:   as I said, there's an English version. Although I've look at Cyrillic script a little here and there, and I've tried to remember the alphabet, it was a pretty slack effort on my part. As in, I looked a couple of times & didn't practice to recognise the script with ease. So I've gone back and revisited the unfamiliar letters of the alphabet, in the hope of getting more comfortable being in a Russian online environment.   I'm good as long as I have an alphabet cheat-sheet. The symbol that stands out for me is the 'D' that looks like a funny 'A' shaped house on stilts ... which is a good fit, because house is:   дом , the perfect memory aid. There's lots of rules regarding the sounds, but I don't care about the rules.  I'm not looking for precision.  I just want to be able to recognise basics, like 'карта' for 'karta' which means 'map' or 'maps'.  'карта' also means 'card'. There's French from Latin derivatives in English that go back to Greek, so I'm going to guess that maybe the Russian skips the Latin and goes straight to the Greek (Byzanntine, perhaps?) ... which in turn goes back to possibly early Greek and Egyptian (re 'karta'), but otherwise Greek is associated with Phonetician (I think). Briefly looked at Yahoo (UK), as I wanted to search an English site for quick further info. Imagine ludicrous social engineering propaganda combined with a smorgasbord of the crass, bizarre and perverse, that includes a Tesco upskirt pervt, and you have the British version of Yahoo: Has Yahoo always been so appalling? Russian news (translated by Google) via Yandex was an oasis of sanity: The UN Security Council is a joke:  it's always blocking anything the US oligarchy and its accomplices want blocked. Not sure if this will show up.  Video's weren't publishing.   Казачий ансамбль "Братина" Cossack ensemble "Bratina" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw1tWUNI2cA&nohtml5=False Between numerous crashes, looked at the following for fun: cartography -- map (or chart) making fm.
