Spotlight on Communication imperialism (Last part): The CIA and the press worldwide!
Par IvoireBusiness - The CIA and the press worldwide!
(...)Many authoritative works on the U.S CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY wellknown as (CIA).
Some by CIA men themselves, have pointed to close links between the agency and certain sectors of the international and local press. This is not surprising, giving the "CIA's" role as an "invisible government" out to protect American interests by any means available.
Since mass media are potent instruments by which to mold public opinion to suit "U.S FOREIGN POLICY, they are primary targets for courtship and manipulation by a sophisticated intelligence machinery. According to the findings of a committee in the U.S house of representatives chaired by
congressman(OTIS PIKE) at that time, media and propaganda projects constituted almost (30) percent
of the "CIA's" covert operations over the years. Billions of american dollars were poured into the masive effort of making other countries accept US policies...In the same trend, during the past
ivorian presidential election of November 2010, "Allassane Ouatrara" has benefited from the backing of US GOVERNMENT through propaganda targeted at LAURENT GBAGBO'regime: Furthermore, "CNN TV" shot a documentary about west african children slavery in the Cacao plantations in the "IVORY COAST", so as to pave the way what will take place later on: (IN November 2010),THE ONU, EUROPEAN COMMUNITY and US AMBASSADOR in the "IVORY COAST" backed up "ALLASSANE OUATTARA" who manipulated the elections and declared himself the winner, to the astonishment of the african people as awhole.
Moreover , let's take the example of "CARL BERNSTEIN", former correspondent of the "WASHINGTON POST", was said to have revealed that"for many years, hundreds of American journalists, including those accredited to AFRICAN AND ASIAN countries, were on CIA's payroll.
In ASIA, the follwing publications have been pinpointed as recipients of huge amounts of "CIA" money, as "screens" for intelligence agents, or as outlets of "CIA"-inspired propaganda.
Meanwhile, the "CIA" modus "Poerandi" and "JHON MARKS" IN "CIA" when it comes to the press is well described by VICTOR MARCHETTI and JHON MARKS in "CIA" and the cult of intelligence, and by VITALY PETRUSENKO ina dangerousgame. CIA and the Mass Media.
Firstly, it tries to suppress unfavourable news. "ITT-CIA" machinations in "CHILE" which resulted in the fall of left-wing tough leader "ALLENDE" government, the "BAY OF THE PIGS" Fiasco etc...
Moreover, "CIA" officials meet their friends in the press to stress the need to combat communist
threat(during the cold war). AS aresult, daily briefings with newsmen are arranged in the interest of news management. Reporters are regularly debriefed by "CIA" after returning from the foreign assignments. At the same time, that the CIA is debriefing newsmen, it is looking for possible recruits in the press corps or hoping to place a "CIA" operator under deep cover with a reputable
media outlet. In consequence, the identities of these so called bogus"reporters are closely guarded secret.
A more sinister "CIA" activity was the manipulation of media to ovethrow or at least destabilize
uncooperative foreign government: "THE CLEAREST EXAMPLE IN THE HISORY OF THE "CIA" IN LATIN AMERICA WAS THE "CIA-ORCHESTRATED CAMPAIGN TO OUST CHILEAN LEFT -WING PRESIDENT "SALVADOR ALLENDE" IN (1973) WHICH WAS WELL-DOCUMENTED DURING THE INVESTIGATION CARRIED OUT BY THE US CONGRESS ONUS PARTICIPATION IN THE COUP...

PROMINENT "ANTI-ALLENDE NEWSPAPER" IN "CHILE" AT THAT PERIOD! IT ALSO INVOLVED THE ISSUANCE OF AN "ANTI-ALLENDE STATEMENT" BTY THE INTERNATIONAL PRESS ASSOCIATION, A GROUP OF US AND LATIN AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS.

Recently, in the "IVORY COAST" THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, INCLUDED USA DIPLOMATIC NETWORK USED THE SAME POLITICAL AND MILITARY STRATEGY TO BRING DOWN NATIONALIST AND PROUD WEST AFRICAN LEFT-WING LEADER "LAURENT GBAGBO" STLL BEHIND THE BARS AGAINST HIS OWN WILL-AN UNPRECEDENTED INTERNATIONAL CONPIRACY IN THE HISTORY OF WEST AFRICA....
