Operation Mockingbird was, and currently remains, a large-scale program of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), which began in the early years of the Cold War, and attempts to manipulate news media for propaganda purposes. According to author Deborah Davis, Operation Mockingbird recruited leading American journalists into a propaganda network and influenced the operations of front groups. CIA support of front groups was exposed when an April 1967 Ramparts article reported that the National Student Association received funding from the CIA. In 1975, Church Committee Congressional investigations revealed Agency connections with journalists and civic groups.
Currently, huge amounts of Hollywood movies, legacy media news productions, You Tube videos, magazine articles, etc… are all produced by The CIA in order to sway public opinion, manage the public perception of military and governmental events, plant subliminal messages, and deflect away from hidden truth through the occult practice of hiding the truth in plain sight. Additionally, many high ranking Satanists are in military positions to assist in accomplishing these thing.
For example, The Temple of Set (Satan) is an occult initiatory order founded in 1975. A new religious movement and form of Western esotericism, the Temple espouses a religion known as Setianism, whose practitioners are called Setians. This is sometimes identified as a form of Satanism, although this term is not often embraced by Setians and is contested by some academics. The Temple was established in the United States in 1975 by Officer Michael Angelo Aquino, an American political scientist, military officer, and a high-ranking member of Anton LaVey's Church of Satan.
Propaganda PSYOP in the United States
Propaganda in the United States is spread by both government and media entities. Propaganda is carefully curated information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread, usually to preserve the self-interest of a nation. It is used in advertising, radio, movies, newspaper, posters, books, television and other media. Propagandists may provide either factual or non-factual information to their audiences, often emphasizing any positive feature of American government or military operations, and downplaying negative ones, or vice versa, in order to shape wide scale public opinion or influence behavioral changes.
Conversely, it will sometimes portray the American government or military operations in an unfavorable light in order to hide the truth in plain sight and diffuse any real criticism of these institution by converting the narrative to one of sensationalist fiction, rather than the reality that it actually is. In other words, if real American government or military atrocities are portrayed in a Hollywood blockbuster movie, it is easier for the audience to think, “That’s just a movie. It is not really happening.” In this respect, Propaganda is a subsidiary of military psychological mind control operations.
The US military defines psychological operations, or PSYOP, as:
“….planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence the emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of foreign governments, domestic organizations, groups, and individuals.”
Propaganda during the Cold War was at its peak in the 1950s and 1960s in the early years of the Cold War. The United States military would make propaganda, using Hollywood films, which criticized and belittled the enemy, the Soviet Union. The American government dispersed propaganda through movies, television, music, literature and art. The United States officials did not call it propaganda, however, maintaining they were portraying accurate information about Russia and their Communist way of life during the 1950s and 1960s.
Military in The Media
Representations of the military in the media date from the beginnings of recorded history and since that time soldiers and armies have featured widely in popular culture. In addition to the countless images of military leaders in heroic poses from antiquity, they have been an enduring source of inspiration in war literature. Not all of this has been entirely complementary and the military have been lampooned or ridiculed as often as they have been idolized in order to deflect the truth into a false fictional caricature of reality, again as a means of hiding the truth in plain sight.
Modern Era
The increasing importance of cinema in the early 20th century provided a new platform for depictions of military subjects. During the First World War, although heavily censored, newsreels enabled those at home to see for themselves a heavily sanitized version of life at the front line. About the same time, both pro-war and anti-war films came to the silver screen. One of the first films on military aviation, Hell's Angels broke all box office records on its release in 1929. Soon, war films of all types were showing throughout the world, notably those of Charlie Chaplin who actively promoted war bonds and voluntary enlistment.
The First World War was also responsible for a new kind of military depiction, through poetry. Hitherto, poetry had been used mostly to glorify or sanctify war. The Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, with its galloping hoofbeat rhythm, is a prime late Victorian example of this, though Rudyard Kipling had written a scathing reply, The Last of the Light Brigade, criticizing the poverty in which many Light Brigade veterans found themselves in old age. Instead, the new wave of poetry, from the war poets, was written from the point of view of the disenchanted trench soldier.
Leading war poets included: Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen, John McCrae, Rupert Brooke, Isaac Rosenberg, and David Jones. A similar movement occurred in literature, producing a slew of novels on both sides of the Atlantic including notably All Quiet on the Western Front and Johnny Got His Gun. The 1963 English stage musical Oh, What a Lovely War! provided a satirical take on World War I, which was released in a cinematic version directed by Richard Attenborough in 1969.
The propaganda war that accompanied World War II invariably depicted the enemy in unflattering terms. The United States, Soviet Union, and Nazi Germany excelled in producing heroic images, placing their soldiers in a semi-mythical context. Examples of this exist not only in posters but also in the films of Leni Riefenstahl and Sergei Eisenstein.
Alongside this, World War II also inspired films as varied as The Bridge on the River Kwai, The Longest Day, Catch-22, Saving Private Ryan, and The Sea Shall Not Have Them. The next major event, the Korean War inspired a long-running television series MAS*H. With the Vietnam War, the tide of balance turned and its films, notably Apocalypse Now, Good Morning, Vietnam, Go Tell the Spartans. and Born on the Fourth of July, have tended to contain critical messages.
There's even a nursery rhyme about war, The Grand Old Duke of York, ridiculing a general for his inability to command any further than marching his men up and down a hill. The huge number of songs focusing on war include "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" and "Universal Soldier".
Examples of CIA Agents in Hollywood: Matt Damon and Ben Affleck
Hollywood is full of CIA agents, and Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are no exception. When you think about Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, you automatically think of the American dream right? Little Benjamin and his buddy Matthew, friends since they were itty bitty little kids with a dream of making it big in Hollywood. You know, write a little script called, Dogma, in their spare time, and then overnight became Hollywood stars, right?
The truth is Ben Affleck and his buddy Matt Damon are actually Both CIA recruits like other Hollywood CIA/NSA agents before him. Ben Affleck’s grandmother, Elizabeth Robert Shaw, married a man named O’Brian Bolt. O’Brian’s best friend and best man at their wedding, Tom Braiden, worked for the OSS which was the early version of the CIA. Braiden specialized in using art and film as a means to spread propaganda. Braiden got Ben Affleck’s grandma a job working at The Museum of Modern Art, a CIA front. Ben Affleck’s mom, Chris Anne Bolt, attended Harvard University and worked alongside other CIA spooks. Seems like all of the women in Ben’s life are CIA or NSA. So if your mommy and daddy are spooks, guess what, their kids will also be groomed to follow in their footsteps.
Ben was groomed to be an earlier version of Greta Thunberg, but less annoying (“How Rude!”). His first major role for the CIA agency was an educational PBS series called “The Voyage of The Mimi”, where he taught us all about the wonderful world of nature and science, or in other words, how evil humans are in the form of evolutionary ecosystem propaganda.
His career started just like any other struggling wannabe actor trying to make a name for himself. On the set of “Dazed and Confused” where he played a freshman who had a thing for spanking young freshman butt. But soon after, “struggling actors”, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, watched their premier of Good Will Hunting with then, President Bill Clinton at Camp David. In the movie Ben plays the friend of Matt Damon who is being recruited by the NSA. Wow, from spanking butts in an idiotic film to hanging with The President of The United States? How exactly do you pull that off? Oh I know! You have CIA connections and you’re actually working for The CIA. That’s how.
Good Will Hunting went on to win an Oscar, with a little help from Harvey Weinstein, and no surprise, the topic of the fictional character, Will Hunting, as working for The NSA is in the movie.
Additionally, Ben Affleck played a CIA agent analyst in “The Sum of All Fears”. According to the makers of the film, there were real CIA agents on the set of the film advising actors and directors as they filmed. The same CIA agents just so happened to also assist on the set of “Alias” the star of which is Jennifer Garner, Bens then wife. Alias is an American action thriller and science fiction television series created by J. J. Abrams, which was broadcast on ABC for five seasons from September 30, 2001, to May 22, 2006. It stars Jennifer Garner as Sydney Bristow, a double agent for the Central Intelligence Agency posing as an operative for SD-6, a worldwide criminal and espionage organization.
Affleck also stared in Argo, a 2012 American historical drama thriller film allegedly directed by Ben Affleck. The screenplay, written by Chris Terrio, was adapted from the 1999 book of the same name by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency operative Tony Mendez, played by Affleck, his memoir The Master of Disguise, and the Wired article by Joshuah Bearman, “The Great Escape: How the CIA Used a Fake Sci-Fi Flick to Rescue Americans from Tehran” (2007). The film deals with the “Canadian Caper”, in which Mendez led the rescue of six U.S. diplomats from Tehran, Iran, under the guise of filming a science fiction film during the 1979–1981 Iran hostage crisis...just another CIA film with Ben…just more coincidence, right? And it is literally about The CIA making a film…talk about hiding the truth in plain sight.
Matt Damon has a similar origin story as his buddy Ben. Matt Presents himself as a regular middle class guy who just so happened to attend Harvard and was recruited by the elite “Delphic Club”. Nevertheless, common kids do not wind up at Harvard’s Delphic Club, and Ben and Matt were born into elite families with a spiderweb of connections to the CIA and NSA. Also, Ben played a CIA agent in all four “Jason Bourne” films, as well as “Good Will Hunting”, “The Good Shepard” and “Syriana”…what a coincidence.
