Operation Mockingbird verified Covert Operations, Connections of the media today to the media of the past! Goes Deep! Operation Mockingbird was a plan to influence both domestic and foreign media. I realize this could have been at least three separate articles. Bear with me, as I just couldn't disconnect them. All these individuals so integral, leading us right into present day where we see much of the very same tactics used in today in our Mockingbird media. In this article you will find; Description of Operation Mockingbird and what we are told it was about. The groundwork and foundation of people integral and connected in the media to CIA special operations for covert projects. Some specifics of what these covert and propaganda operations entailed.

Should Anyone be appointed the Gatekeepers of our information and news? Does the media have the right whether with or without the help of the CIA to control the news? Does the media help themselves and a globalist agenda that pays them, or are they servants to the public? Operation Mockingbird is mentioned in the CIA Family Jewels report, compiled in the mid-1970s. According to the declassified version of the report released in 2007, Operation Mockingbird involved the wire-tapping of two American journalists for several months in the early 1960s. This set of reports details activities conducted by the United States Central Intelligence Agency. Considered illegal or inappropriate, these actions were conducted over the span of decades, from the 1950s to the mid-1970s. Think of these reports as the "skeletons" in the CIA office. That's what William Colby, the first CIA Director Most of the documents were publicly released on June 25, 2007, after more than three decades of secrecy. A FOIA request had been filed 15 years earlier by a non-governmental agency. Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh revealed some of the contents of the "Family Jewels" in a front-page New York Times article in December 1974, in which he reported that: The Central Intelligence Agency, directly violating its charter, conducted a massive, illegal domestic intelligence operation during the Nixon Administration against the antiwar movement and other dissident groups in the United States according to well-placed Government sources. Who is against anti-war? Who are those always trying to orchestrate war by using their MO of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt? Additional details of the contents trickled out over the years, but requests by journalists and historians for access to the documents under the Freedom of Information Act were long denied. Finally, in June 2007, CIA Director Michael Hayden announced that the documents would be released to the public at an announcement made to the annual meeting of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations. A six-page summary of the reports was made available at the National Security Archive (based at George Washington University), with the following introduction: The Central Intelligence Agency violated its charter for 25 years until revelations of illegal wiretapping, domestic surveillance, assassination plots, and human experimentation led to official investigations and reforms in the 1970s. The complete set of documents, with some redactions (including a number of pages in their entirety), was released on the CIA website on June 25, 2007. The reports describe numerous activities conducted by the CIA during the 1950s to 1970s that violated its charter. According to a briefing provided by CIA Director William Colby to the Justice Department on December 31, 1974, these included 18 issues which were of legal concern: Confinement of a KGB defector, Yuri Ivanovich Nosenko, that "might be regarded as a violation of the kidnapping laws." Wiretapping of two syndicated columnists, Robert Allen and Paul Scott (see also Project Mockingbird) Physical surveillance of investigative journalist and muckraker Jack Anderson and his associates, including Les Whitten of the Washington Post and future Fox News Channel anchor and managing editor Brit Hume. Jack Anderson had written two articles on CIA-backed assassination attempts on Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Physical surveillance of then-Washington Post reporter Michael Getler, who was later an ombudsman for the Washington Post and PBS. Break-in at the home of a former CIA employee Break-in at the office of a former defector Warrantless entry into the apartment of a former CIA employee Opening of mail to and from the Soviet Union from 1953 to 1973 (including letters associated with actress Jane Fonda) (project SRPOINTER/HTLINGUAL at JFK airport) Opening of mail to and from the People's Republic of China from 1969 to 1972 (project SRPOINTER/HTLINGUAL at JFK airport – see also Project SHAMROCK by the NSA) Funding of behavior modification research on unwitting US citizens, including unscientific, non-consensual human experiments. (see also Project MKULTRA concerning LSD experiments). They used to pass free packets out at concerts and at Universities starting in the 60's through a program derived from the Tavistock Institute. It was a program to break down the family unit in society and promote a more progressive in this case i.e. Luciferian agenda. Choas, rebellion of the youth through music, drugs, dependence and propaganda messaging. Assassination plots against Cuban President Fidel Castro; Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba; President Rafael Trujillo of the Dominican Republic; and René Schneider, Commander-in-chief of the Chilean Army. All of these plots were said to be unsuccessful. Surveillance of dissident groups between 1967 and 1971 (see Project RESISTANCE, Project MERRIMAC and Operation CHAOS). Surveillance of a particular Latin American female, and of US citizens in Detroit. Surveillance of former CIA officer and Agency critic Victor Marchetti, author of the book The CIA and the Cult of * Intelligence, published in 1974. Amassing of files on 9,900-plus US citizens related to the antiwar movement (see Project RESISTANCE, Project MERRIMAC and Operation CHAOS). Polygraph experiments with the sheriff of San Mateo County, California. Fake CIA identification documents that might violate state laws. Testing of electronic equipment on US telephone circuits. It's important to note that Operation Gladio and other projects I will be touching on in another article were very integral to the NWO plan of orchestrate fear and war, then when the controllers of the UN come into help, the mass public will be so grateful, they are willing to accept a repressive regime. Now, Let's go back to Cord Meyer. Named the principal operative by Deborah Davis, who claimed Meyer had become the principal operative under Wisner. He was born to wealthy parents, father was a diplomat and mother was from a Pennsylvania family who made their money in the coal industry. Cord had a twin brother Quentin, who died in Okinawa. After his duty as a Marine officer during WW2, began working at the CIA as a high level operative. Attended Yale University, where he was a member of the Scroll and Key society He was an aide of Harold Stassen to the 1945 San Francisco United Nations Conference on International Organization. Meyer started working for the Central Intelligence Agency, joining the organization in 1951 at the invitation of Allen Dulles. First, he worked under the predecessor for the CIA, OSS, known as Office of Strategic Services, wartime intelligence during WW2. While at the OSS, Meyer worked at the Offie of Policy Coordination was the covert operation wing of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Created as a department of the CIA in 1948, it actually operated independently until October 1950. OPC existed until 1 August 1952, when it was merged with the Office of Special Operations (OSO) to form the Directorate of Plans (DDP). OPC was preceded by the Special Procedures Group (SPG), whose creation in March 1948 had been authorized in December 1947 with President Harry Truman's approval of the top-secret policy paper NSC 4-A. SPG was located within the CIA's Office of Special Operations (OSO), According to one historian, the OPC effectively became an intelligence apparatus for the departments of state and defense". The OPC was brought under the control of the CIA on 12 October 1950. The CIA department responsible for intelligence collection, and was first used to influence the Italian election of 1948, a policy success which demonstrated that psychological/political warfare could be the key to winning the Cold War. OSO, the successor to the Strategic Services Unit (SSU), was headed by an Assistant Director for Special Operations (ADSO). CIA's expanded mandate caused jealousy in the State Department and the Department of Defense. When OPC was created, it inherited all of SPG's resources, including more than $2 million. It also acquired funds and labor projects from the Economic Cooperation Administration (ECA). The name change was in anticipation of public scrutiny; the new name would better deflect away attention from the covert activities. Frank Wisner from the State Department was chosen to be the first director. Control over the new entity was highly contentious. Although formally a department of the CIA, it was responsible to the State Department, and DCI. Remind you of anything recent?  I will have to continue the rest in comments and not sure if I can pin it to the top. Here goes. . .
