How the media secretly carries out assignments for the CIA

The June 21, 2022, Grayzone article,1 “British Security State Collaborator Paul Mason’s War on ‘Rogue Academics’ Exposed,” shines a great big light on what the “anti-disinformation” industry is really all about. (Article by Dr. Joseph Mercola republished from Articles.Mercola.com) Spoiler alert: It has nothing to do with protecting a gullible public from information that might cause them to make bad or unhealthy choices. No, it’s about creating and directing a narrative for the purpose of controlling the population and hiding truths that might overthrow the ruling cabal and its plans for a one world government.

Operation Mockingbird

Propaganda is as old as humanity itself, but the modern version of it can be traced back to 1948, when the CIA’s Office of Special Projects2 launched Operation Mockingbird,3,4 a clandestine CIA media infiltration campaign that involved bribing hundreds of journalists to publish fake stories at the CIA’s request. The CIA reportedly spent $1 billion a year (about one-third of its entire budget5) on this enterprise. CIA-recruited journalists worked in most major news organizations, including CBS News, Time, Life, Newsweek and The New York Times, just to name a few.6 Later on, the campaign expanded to include foreign media as well.7 As reported by the Free Press:8

“In 1976, Senator Frank Church’s investigation into the CIA exposed their corruption of the media … The tactic was straightforward. False news reports or propaganda would be provided by CIA writers to knowing and unknowing reporters who would simply repeat the falsehoods over and over again.”

During the Cold War, CIA propaganda disparaged communist ideologies. Today, it promotes radical ideas that bring us closer to The Great Reset — which is based on a technocratic economic system — instead.

Media Is More Controlled Than Ever

While Operation Mockingbird is said to have been officially dismantled, there’s plenty of evidence to suggest it’s still in operation. If anything, the system has only gotten more efficient and effective, as the number of major media outlets has shrunk over these past decades, and a vast majority of journalists and news anchors simply parrot what’s reported by the three global news agencies. What’s more, the CIA isn’t the only intelligence agency using the media for its own propaganda purposes. The intelligence agencies in other countries do it too. For example, leaked documents9 reveal Reuters and BBC News received multimillion-dollar contracts to advance a covert propaganda program by the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) aimed at weakening Russia’s influence over its neighbors.10 You can learn more about this in “Reuters and BBC Caught Taking Money for Propaganda Campaign.” One of the biggest changes we’re seeing right now is that most of the world’s intelligence agencies are controlling media in the same direction — toward The Great Reset and the technocratic control of the global population. That’s why we’re seeing the same narratives playing all over the world. In 1977 Carl Bernstein wrote a 75-page article for Rolling Stone that exposed the CIA’s involvement with the media in even greater detail.11 Those were the days when Rolling Stone actually did decent investigative journalism. Today they are one of the largest spreaders of government disinformation.

'International impunity is the backbone of Israel's occupation,' says rights group

Every year, Defense for Children International - Palestine collects hundreds of statements from Palestinian children who were arrested and subjected to long periods of interrogation without the presence of a parent, guardian or lawyer, and Israel is never held to account for these abuses, its director tells MEMO.

When Palestinian boys, the majority teenagers, stand up to protect their homes and land, the Israeli army responds by beating them, and throwing stun grenades and tear gas at them. It is nothing short of a full-scale assault.

"The majority of the Palestinian children who are targeted by the Israeli occupation forces are young males," says Ayed Abu Eqtaish, the accountability programme director at Defense for Children International – Palestine (DCIP).

According to a DCIP report, 15 Palestinian children have been killed by occupation forces since the start of the year.

The victims included: Muhammad Akram Ali Abu Salah, 16, Sanad Muhammad Khalil Abu Attia, 16, Muhammad Hussein Muhammad Qassem, 16, Shawkat Kamal Shawkat Abed, 17 and Amjad Walid Hussein Fayed, 16.

DCIP added that on 13 February an Israeli sniper shot 16-year-old Muhammad Abu Salah, a resident of Al-Yamoun village in Jenin, in the eye, killing him.

"The violation against Palestinian children's rights are caused by the presence of the Israeli occupation forces in the occupied Palestinian territories," says Ayed.

Despite the many legal instruments and the standards that the international community has tried to put in place to protect the rights of children, the amount of child violations is getting increasingly worse over the years.

"For example, last year we documented the killing of 78 Palestinian children at the hands of the Israeli army. Sixty-one of those children were from the Gaza Strip and 17 were from the West Bank."

"Sixty of the 61 children who were killed in the Gaza Strip were killed during the military assault against Gaza in May 2021. But most importantly, we see from our documentation that there was no need to shoot to kill towards Palestinian children, because they did not pose any threat to the lives of the Israeli soldiers."

Israeli air and artillery strikes during the 11-day assault killed 253 Palestinians and wounded more than 1,900 people.

Abbott announces additional $30 million to boost local border security efforts

Gov. Greg Abbott announced on Thursday that his Public Safety Office is providing an additional $30 million in Operation Lone Star grant funding for Texas cities and counties to enhance border security operations, including funding to help deter and interdict criminal activity related to the border crisis.

“While the Biden Administration has abandoned border communities, the State of Texas will support them and help them respond to the disaster that President Biden has caused on the border,” Abbott stated in the press release. “Operation Lone Star grant funding has played an integral role in our mission to keep Texans safe and support local communities. I encourage local governments to apply for these funds as we work together to prevent illegal immigration and the smuggling of people, illegal weapons, and deadly drugs like fentanyl from Mexico into Texas.”

Additional grant funding being made available includes:

>> $14 million for border-adjacent counties — available starting Sept. 1.

>> $16 million for any county or city — available now, grant applications open on July 11.

Governor Abbott launched the OLS Grant Program in September 2021 with an initial $100 million made available to strengthen Texas’ response to the border crisis. All eligible requests for this initial funding have been fulfilled, totaling $58 million in awards so far with $42 million still available.

The Governor’s PSO is responsible for administering the OLS Grant Program. Local units of government that are interested in learning more about this program can view the funding announcement here. Applicants can also contact PSO via [email protected] or at 512-463-1919.

Governor Abbott has taken significant action to secure the border in the wake of the federal government’s inaction. Those actions include:

>> Securing $4 billion in funding for Texas’ border security efforts.

>> Launching Operation Lone Star and deploying thousands of National Guard soldiers and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers.

>> Arresting and jailing illegal migrants trespassing or committing other state crimes in Texas.

>> Allocating resources that include acquiring 1,700 unused steel panels to build the border wall in Texas.

>> Signing a law to make it easier to prosecute smugglers bringing people into Texas.

>> Signing 15 laws cracking down on human trafficking in Texas.

>> Signing a law enhancing penalties for the manufacturing and distribution of fentanyl.

NIH division spends $413,000 to study effect of climate change on mental health of the young

"If elected officials and bureaucrats are concerned about producing anxiety, perhaps they should also consider letting up on their unrelenting alarmism," advised federal spending watchdog Adam Andrzejewski.

The Golden Horseshoe is a weekly designation from Just The News intended to highlight egregious examples of wasteful taxpayer spending by the government. The award is named for the horseshoe-shaped toilet seats for military airplanes that cost the Pentagon a whopping $640 each back in the 1980s.

This week's Golden Horseshoe is awarded to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences for spending approximately $413,000 to study the adverse impact climate change is purportedly having on the mental health of young people.

The NIEHS, a division of the National Institutes of Health, awarded $413,598 to researchers at Appalachian State University in North Carolina this year to conduct the study.

"Despite the frequency of climate-related natural disasters, like hurricanes, wildfires, and heatwaves, little is known about their effects on mental health in this group," according to the project description's "public health relevance statement."

"New research recognizes the role that environmental factors sensitive to climate change and variability (e.g., increasing temperatures, heat waves) may play in the complex pathway linking environmental exposures and negative mental health and well-being outcomes" among the young, stipulates the proposed Causal Analysis of the Complex Mental Health Impacts of the Climate Crisis in Young People.

Despite "a recent survey showing 7 out of 10 young people are worried about their future in the context of these planetary changes," the project abstract claims, "Few studies have fully examined climate- mental health on a national level to determine which types or combinations of climate events (extreme heat, hurricanes, extreme heat in the context of a hurricane) are connected to mental health consequences in young people."

The "overarching goal of the research is to comprehensively examine the sensitivity of mental health impacts to climate disasters in youth, as well as the compounding and cascading effect of concurrent extreme events across the U.S.," according to the project description.

The researchers plan to leverage their relationship with the global nonprofit organization Crisis Text Line to assess these psychological effects on the target demographic.

Israeli companies help raise funds for Ukraine by promoting diversity and inclusivity

Arab diversity and inclusion in Israeli business has been picking up momentum in recent months, particularly in the hi-tech field as the traditional talent pool has all but dried up.

Last month, leading companies from throughout Israel and around the world gathered for the Sustainability for Ukraine event, which featured a 24-hour web-a-thon on the future of sustainability, in order to raise funds to support civil society and sustainability in Ukraine. The campaign has raised over $170,000.

The event featured participation from Israeli nonprofit organization Ma’ala, a corporate membership organization promoting Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Israel. Ma’ala hosted a one-hour panel of the web-a-thon devoted to diversity and inclusion in business, moderated by its CEO, Momo Mahadav.

“It’s not as if we’re on top of the world, but I think the work here on diversity inclusion is quite interesting,” he told The Jerusalem Post. “In a nutshell, what we see in Israel is quite a lot of bottom-up interventions: sort of informal interventions that are supported by management and those who are in charge, but it’s less of the top-down policies that we see in other countries.”

Strauss Group's diversity and inclusion

As an example of Mahadav’s point: a recent diversity and inclusion effort made by Strauss Group (which attended Ma’ala’s panel) involved an extensive crowdsourcing campaign, wherein the company made a call to employees to suggest ideas to raise awareness and improve gender equality in Israel. “Eventually it [garnered] a lot of interest, and the ideas were taken on by several organizations,” he said.

If They Lose, You Will Eat Bugs – Dutch Farmer Spokesperson Explains How EU Climate Change Goals Will Reduce Farm Production

Despite the U.S. media not giving any time, attention or discussion to the rise of farmer protests in Europe, everyone should pay attention because the same climate change goals being enforced in the European Union are coming to North America.

The global food manipulators within the World Economic Forum have established the farming policy that aligns with their climate change goals. As noted in this Sky News discussion this is the Great Reset. It’s not just Netherlands Prime Minister Mark Rutte pushing the agenda, in 2020 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave an identical outline, with an identical timeline, for the exact same process [SEE HERE]. The collective WEF political leaders are all singing from the same hymnal.

In this discussion and interview segment, the spokesperson for Netherlands, Agricultural and Horticultural Organization Wytse Sonnema, outlines why there is such a broad sense of “frustration, anger, even despair” amongst farmers amid proposals for nitrogen reduction target plans. This will be coming to North America soon.

Land for New U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem Was Owned by Palestinians Before 1948, Files Show

Ahead of U.S. President Biden's visit to Israel and the West Bank, Palestinian families in the U.S. and East Jerusalem present documents – including rental contracts going back decades – testifying that they owned the land before it was seized by Israel after the 1948 war

Palestinian families from East Jerusalem and the United States are calling on Washington and Israel to cancel plans for building the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem, saying that its planned location sits on land that was private Palestinian property confiscated by Israel after the 1948 war.

China's Foreign Minister blames Morrison government for poor relations, tells Penny Wong to 'treat us as a partner, not a threat'

China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi has told Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong that the Albanese government must form a "correct understanding" of China as a partner, not a threat, according to a Chinese government summary of their first meeting in Bali.

Key points:

China's Foreign Minister says the Morrison government is to blame for the deterioration of diplomatic ties in recent years

Mr Wang says the previous government was "determined to view China as an adversary and even a threat"

He hopes the Albanese government will now seize this opportunity to "reduce negative assets and create positive energy"

The meeting on the sidelines of the G20 Foreign Ministers' summit on Friday night ended more than three years of cold shoulder treatment from China's Foreign Ministry towards Australian ministers, and is a prominent step in the resumption of high level contact between the two countries.

China's government waited more than 24 hours after the meeting to present its account of the exchange, which Ms Wong described earlier as "an important first step" to "stabilise" the relationship.

She told reporters that she raised the prolonged detention of two Australian citizens in Beijing on national security charges and China's trade restrictions on multiple Australian exports, but declined to specify what Mr Wang asked of Australia.

Morrison government to blame

In a statement, China's Foreign Ministry said Mr Wang laid the blame for the extraordinary deterioration of diplomatic ties in recent years on the previous Australian government, telling Ms Wong the Morrison government was "determined to view China as an adversary and even a threat".

"[The previous government] undertook a series of irresponsible words and actions," Mr Wang said at the meeting, according to the Chinese government statement.

His statement is in line with Beijing's stance over the past few years that the Australian side is to blame rather than China, despite Xi Jinping's government jailing two Australians in secretive cases, sentencing a third to death and imposing billions of dollars of trade strikes in a thinly veiled effort to economically coerce Australia.

Four demands of Albanese government

With such measures failing to shift either the Morrison government's positions or Australian public opinion, Beijing has used the election of the Albanese government as a reason to resume diplomatic contact.

Sen. Ron Johnson: The FBI Had Hunter Biden’s Computer Since Dec. 2019 – They Havent “Done Squat With It”

Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures this morning to discuss the growing Biden Family Crime Syndicate.

Ron Johnson accused Joe Biden of funneling money to his son Hunter Biden to pay for the Eastern European prostitutes involved in a possible human trafficking ring.

Of course, Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland is covering up all of these crimes and ignoring this lawlessness by the First Family.

Senator Ron Johnson: Hunter Biden was well aware of the fact that his activities were red flags and certainly could have triggered suspicious activity reports to the Treasury Department… Again this is information off of his own laptop, off of iCloud backup from his iPhone. But he was highly concerned about payments he was making to nonresidents, people who appear to be East European prostitution or human trafficking ring. That those were going to flag, those type of transactions. Of course, we’re seeing that Joe Biden apparently paid $30,000 to $100,000 maybe unwittingly. But he continued to funnel money into Hunter Biden. The fact of the matter is Hunter Biden’s computer is a treasure trove of information…

…We don’t have equal justice, we have a two-tiered justice system. One that will treat with kid gloves or cover-up for Democrats and their powerful friends, the elites – and the rest of Americans. We’re seeing that big time with Hunter Biden… Senator Grassley and I, we have the bank records now. We’ve shown them on the Senate floor. They show highly suspicious activity. That I don’t think the Justice Department is doing enough to potentially prosecute.

Senator Johnson then unloaded on the Bidens.

Sen. Johnson: This is a huge scandal. The American public deserves the truth because it is putting at risk our national security because we have a compromised president who has lied repeatedly to the American public, saying he never talked to Hunter about his overseas business transactions. We actually have voice mails from off of these computers… We know the FBI had Hunter Biden’s computer in December 2019. What have they been doing with it?… Our FBI, our Justice Department hasn’t really done squat.

Chris Wray has destroyed the FBI — the modern-day Stasi troops.

The FBI should NEVER be trusted again.

Thousands of Australian companies folded last financial year as collapse nightmare worsens

Thousands of Aussie companies disappeared over the past year – and experts say it’s only going to get worse in the months ahead.

It’s no secret the construction industry is in crisis, with scores of big-name firms collapsing in recent months, leaving devastated staff and would-be homeowners in the lurch.

A number of well-known retailers – like luxury shoe chain Sneakerboy and grocery app Send – have also folded lately, while the catastrophic collapse of investment firm Remi Capital also dominated headlines earlier this year.

But it turns out those examples are just the tip of the iceberg, with Australia recording a staggering 3917 liquidations or administration appointments across all industries during the 2021-22 financial year.

While the construction sector led the charge, representing 28 per cent of all insolvencies, firms from countless industries also failed in the face of soaring inflation and interest rate pressures, Covid chaos, labour shortages and supply chain disruptions.

There were 1536 collapses in NSW, with Victoria recording 1022, Queensland 665, WA 350, South Australia 196, 91 for the ACT, 29 for Tasmania and 28 in the Northern Territory.

Knives Out: WaPo, NYT Go For Biden Blood In Scathing Moment Of Honesty

Over the past month or so, mainstream media has overtly abandoned President Biden - the man they relentlessly shilled for during the 2020 election as the establishment went to extreme measures to unseat Donald Trump.

After months of gentile distancing, the media's come-to-Jesus finally happened after the White House 'botched' the response to the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. CNN published an article last Wednesday titled: "After string of Supreme Court setbacks, Democrats wonder whether Biden White House is capable of urgency moment demands."

"Top Democrats complain the President isn't acting with or perhaps is even capable of the urgency the moment demands," reads the piece.

Ouch!

"Rudderless, aimless and hopeless" is how one member of Congress described the White House.

Two dozen leading Democratic politicians and operatives, as well as several within the West Wing, tell CNN they feel this goes deeper than questions of ideology and posture. Instead, they say, it gets to questions of basic management. -CNN

Fast forward to Saturday, and both the New York Times and the Washington Post have taken serious shots at Biden.

The Post built on CNN's article - slamming the White House's "struggle to respond" to the abortion ruling, writing that "Many Democrats were dismayed by his slow-footed response."

For many Democrats, however, it was too little and too late — just one more example over the two weeks in which Biden and his team struggled to come up with a muscular plan of action on abortion rights, even though the Supreme Court ruling had been presaged two months earlier with the leak of a draft opinion. -WaPo

The New York Times straight-up suggested Biden is too old to govern - writing that his team 'delayed his Middle East trip so the 79-year-old president would have more time to rest' following last month's Europe/NATO meetings.

AP Fact Checks Meme Joking About Shinzo Abe Having Information That Could Lead to the Arrest of Hillary Clinton

The Associated Press ran a “fact check” on a meme joking about Shinzo Abe having information that could lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton.

The meme has been around for ages due to the amount of mysterious and arguably convenient deaths surrounding the Clintons.

Following the tragic assassination of Shinzo Abe, comedian and podcast host Michael Malice tweeted a fake screenshot of the former Japanese prime minister saying “I have information that will lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton.”

The tweet was “liked” by over 12,000 people who understand jokes.

The Associated Press was apparently very concerned that some people might not understand that it was a meme.

“Shinzo Abe, the former prime minister of Japan who was assassinated on Friday, did not tweet about Hillary Clinton the day before he died. A screenshot purporting to show such a tweet was fabricated,” the AP Fact Check account tweeted with their story “debunking” the joke.

In their report, the AP reported, “Archived images of his legitimate Twitter account spanning several days this week, including as recently as Tuesday, show that these account details have not changed. Further, no such tweet about Clinton currently appears on his profile.”

“A translation of the Japanese text in the fabricated tweet shows that it is a truncated phrase that does not mention Clinton. It says, ‘to repeat, I,'” the report continued. “There are other signs the image has been manipulated. The fabricated screenshot is blurry, and there is slight discoloration behind some of the words. The Japanese characters by the incorrect username appear pixelated and stretched. It also uses a different typeface for some words than the one that is typically displayed on Twitter.”

Naturally, the AP was widely mocked for the absurdity.

PANIC

Biden Calls for More Pro-Abortion Protests

Joe Biden called for more protests by pro-abortion activists in comments made to reporters Sunday during a bike ride at Rehoboth Beach while he is on yet another vacation weekend in Delaware (39).

Reporter, “Do you have a, do you have a message Mr. President for women who were protesting outside the White House yesterday?”

Biden, “Yes. Keep protesting. Because, keep making your point. It’s critically important. We can do a lot of things to accommodate the rights of women in the mean time. But fundamentally the only thing that’s gonna change this if we have a national law that reinstates Roe v. Wade.”

Biden also told reporters he is looking at declaring a public health emergency over the ruling by the Supreme Court last month that voided previous rulings declaring abortion a Constitutional right and returned the matter of abortion to the states.

When he pulled up to reporters on his bike, Biden told them he had taken off the foot clip on the bike’s pedal that caused him to fall last month. Midway through his brief chat with the reporters Biden realized he had his bike helmet on, saying, “I look like a fool here in this interview​. I put this helmet on because it was a tough interview.”
