MSM Promotes Yet Another CIA Press Release As News by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

The Washington Post, whose sole owner is a Central Intelligence Agency contractor, has published yet another anonymously sourced CIA press release disguised as a news report which just so happens to facilitate longstanding CIA foreign policy.

In an article titled "Secret CIA assessment: Putin "probably directing" influence operation to denigrate Joe Biden", WaPos virulent neoconservative war pig Josh Rogin describes what was told to him by unnamed sources about the contents of a "secret" CIA document which alleges that Vladimir Putin is "probably" overseeing an interference operation in the United States of Americas presidential election.

True to form, at no point does WaPo follow standard journalistic protocol and disclose its blatant financial conflict of interest with the CIA when promoting an unproven CIA narrative which happens to serve the consent-manufacturing agendas of the CIA for its new cold war with Russia.

And somehow in our crazy, propaganda-addled society, this is accepted as "news".

The CIA has had a hard-on for the collapse of the Russian Federation for many years, and preventing the rise of another multipolar world at all cost has been an open agenda of United States imperialism since the fall of the Soviet Union.

Indeed it is clear that the escalations we have been watching unfold against Russia were in fact planned well in advance of 2016, and it is only by propaganda narratives like this one that consent has been manufactured for a new cold war which imperils the life of every organism on this planet.

There is no excuse for a prominent news outlet publishing a CIA press release disguised as news in facilitation of these CIA agendas. It is still more inexcusable to merely publish anonymous assertions about the contents of that CIA press release. It is especially inexcusable to publish anonymous assertions about a CIA press release which merely says that something is "probably" happening, meaning those making the claim do not even know.

None of this stopped The Washington Post from publishing this propaganda piece on behalf of the CIA. None of it stopped this story from being widely shared by prominent voices on social media and repeated by major news outlets like CNN, The New York Times, and NBC. And none of it stopped all the usual liberal influencers from taking the claims and exaggerating the certainty:

The United States of America is so screwed up right now that the CIA has determined that Mr. Putin is directing efforts to interfere in the 2020 election against Joe Biden, and a collective shoulder-shrug is all we can muster.-BrooklynDad_Defiant! September 22, 2020

The CIA-to-pundit pipeline, wherein intelligence agencies "leak" information that is picked up by news agencies and then wildly exaggerated by popular influencers, has always been an important part of manufacturing establishment Russia hysteria.

We saw it recently when the now completely debunked claim that Russia paid bounties on United States troops to Taliban-linked fighters in Afghanistan first surfaced; unverified anonymous intelligence claims were published by mass media news outlets, then by the time it got to spinmeisters like Rachel Maddow it was being treated not as an unconfirmed analysis but as an established fact:-Aaron Mate September 14, 2020

If you have ever wondered how rank-and-file members of the public can be so certain of completely unproven intelligence claims, the CIA-to-pundit pipeline is a big part of it.

The most influential voices who political partisans actually hear things from are often a few clicks removed from the news report they hare talking about, and by the time it gets to them it is being waved around like a rock-solid truth when at the beginning it was just presented as a tenuous speculation (the original aforementioned WaPo report appeared on the opinion page).

The CIA has a well-documented history of infiltrating and manipulating the mass media for propaganda purposes, and to this day the largest supplier of leaked information from the Central Intelligence Agency to the news media is the CIA itself.

They have a whole process for leaking information to reporters they like, as was highlighted in a recent court case which found that the CIA can even leak documents to select journalists while refusing to release them to others via Freedom of Information Act requests.

A lying, torturing, propagandizing, drug trafficking, assassinating, coup-staging, warmongering, psychopathic spook agency with an extensive history of deceit and depravity that selectively gives information to news reporters with whom it has a good relationship is never doing so for noble reasons. It is doing so for the same rapacious power-grabbing reasons it does all the other evil things it does.

The way mainstream media has become split along increasingly hostile ideological lines means that all the manipulators need to do to advance a given narrative is set it up to make one side look bad and then share it with a news outlet from the other side.

The way media is set up to masturbate peoples confirmation bias instead of report objective facts will then cause the narrative to go viral throughout that partisan faction, regardless of how true or false it might be.

-United States Intelligence: If Donald Trump Wins Russia Did It, If Joe Biden Wins It Was China And Iran

"Lastly, the dumbest thing about believing foreign nations are interfering in American democracy is believing the United States of America has any democracy to interfere with."-Caitlin Johnstone August 8, 2020

The coming United States election and its aftermath is looking like it will be even more insane and hysterical than the last one, and the enmity and outrage it creates will give manipulators every opportunity to slide favorable narratives into the slipstream of peoples hot-headed abandonment of their own critical faculties.

And indeed they are clearly prepared to do exactly that.

An ODNI press release last month which was uncritically passed along by the most prominent United States media outlets reported that China and Iran are trying to help Joe Biden win the November election while Russia is trying to help Donald Trump.

So no matter which way these things go the United States intelligence cartel will be able to surf its own consent-manufacturing foreign policy agendas upon the tide of outrage which ensues.

The propaganda machine is only getting louder and more aggressive.

We are being prepped for something.
