In an age of untangling true leaks from false leaks or real stories from planted stories, let alone fact from fiction, it’s easy to overlook Operation Mockingbird, the Central Intelligence Agency-National Security State’s (CIA-NSA) program to take control of the U.S. media. Starting in 1950, the CIA-NSA established a strategic network through tele-news magazines, newspapers and publishing houses, and student/cultural organizations, all of which were used as front groups for covert operations. This shadowy Orwellian cabal moreover employed political and psychological warfare operations against Americans and the easily influenced compatible Left, Center and Right.

All the News and Narratives That’s Fit to Print “In the Mind”
Consequently, what if President Donald Trump’s right that the CIA-NSA Deep State’s massive information complex-including the Internet-wants to destroy him? After all, those who participate in it don’t even realize they’re promoting its agenda, an agenda he promised to drain. Indeed, when people say “Putin kills journalists” or “Russia hacked the election,” “Assad’s a butcher” or “China’s repressive,” or “It takes a Village” and “Change we can believe in,” they have no idea they’re spouting what the CIA-NSA wants them to say and think. And since Operation Mockingbird also controls the Pentagon, U.S. Military and defense industries, aren’t they the CIA-NSA’s biggest advertiser too?

Hard to Argue the Media’s Hell Bent on Destroying Trump
Given that it’s hard to disagree with President Trump’s claim that “No politician” has been “treated worse or more unfairly by the media,” according to a new Harvard study group which conceded that “the sheer level of negative coverage gives weight to Trump’s contention, shared by his core constituency, that the media are hell bent on destroying his presidency;” it’s no wonder many Americans think Donald Trump is a fascist dictator. The recent firing of FBI Director James Comey, the crackdown on immigrants entering the country illegally, plans to build a border wall between Mexico and the U.S., and his repeated attacks against the media and news journalists only reinforce such notions.

Ghosts of CIA Directors and Congressional Testimonies Past
But even former CIA Director John Brennan, who’s accused as the source of leaks about alleged contacts between campaign associates of President Trump and Russian spies, said the leaks were appalling. He also thought they were coming from Obama Administration appointees burrowed deep inside the intelligence community. What’s more, he denounced the media’s biased reporting and limitless, unfounded speculations. In light of James Comey and acting director Andrew McCabe’s testimony on May 3 that they were never pressured to stop the investigation, news reports the president allegedly pressured the FBI Director before firing him do seem dubious and to have a hidden agenda.

Lawmakers Diet Filled With Junk News Too
Although lawmakers express concern over the president’s media diet, or process by which he receives information, he’s not the only one vulnerable to misinformation and fake news. To be sure, there’s a pattern of Congress propagating pseudo wars like drugs and terror-just to name two. In addition to never addressing America’s addictive and consumerist demand for drugs, so that everyone can still feel good and believe in American Exceptionalism; the War on Terror’s real narrative is that because our lethal and land/resource-consuming military is over there, they’re defending themselves and sometimes attacking us over here. Meanwhile, the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, FOX, etc… function as the CIA-NSA’s protector and mouthpiece.

Brand Clinton and Obama Were Political Coups
It’s also easy to forget that twenty-seven years ago, the CIA-NSA and State Department talked about how, in the global village, national boundary lines would vanish and the U.S. would become the dominant power and influence events everywhere through the control of information-and minds.(1) They in fact predicted propaganda and psychological warfare would become the defining factor in shaping political and social affairs, the latest being Brand Clinton and Obama. Hillary Clinton’s “it takes a village to raise a child,” and Barack Hussein Obama’s name and face, were surely coups that not only bailed out Wall Street while marketing a false sense of gender and racial/religious equality, but expanded wars around the world, including the CIA-NSA’s surveillance war against Americans.

Is Trademark Trump Different
But don’t look for Trademark Trump, who also campaigned on a populist agenda, to succeed in draining the swamp. He too has made many shameless U-turns from what he promised. In addition to putting off a nationalized infrastructure plan that would provide millions of jobs, he’s failed to deescalate wars around the globe. He’s instead increased the many U.S. wars-including military funding. By visiting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and sealing a $300 billion weapons deal, he’s betrayed the 9-11 Families too whom he promised to help in their lawsuit against nations which aid terrorists. Meanwhile, he’s backtracked on tax reform, trade deals, and moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.

Enemies to Operation Mockingbird Won’t Sing CIA-NSA’s Songs
President Trump seems to have the same interests as the CIA-NSA, Pentagon, One Percenters, Washington Establishment, and Globalists. He’ll too function as another mockingbird that imitates their interests and sings their political, economical, cultural, social, racial, and class agendas. The real enemies of the CIA-NSA Deep State will be troublesome domestic and foreign groups who have not yet succumbed to the media’s brainwashing or propaganda espoused by the compatible Left, Center and Right. Sadly, only a few haven’t yet been re-branded, knowing in their hearts and minds that perpetual war is wrong and voter sovereignty and a democratic republic is still just a myth.

They also have a sense of memory in that not only did Brand Clinton and Obama get most Americans to believe one thing while “dutifully” doing something else, but an urgency that Trademark Trump might be doing the same.(2)
