The CIA’s Influence Over the Media: Use of the Conspiracy Theorist Slur
“Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th.”—George W. Bush, November 10, 2001
In April of 1967, a CIA official sent a memorandum dispatch to agency chiefs and stations. This memo described a strategy for discrediting critics of the Warren Report, the official account for the assassination of President Kennedy released in 1964. At the time of the memo, polls showed that 46% of Americans did not think that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, in contradiction to the official finding.
To counter such criticisms, the memo proposed labeling critics as “conspiracy theorists” and proposed that the CIA’s “propaganda assets” in media begin to use the slur and other, related techniques to marginalize critics.
Classified as Secret but finally released in 1998, the memo stated, “Conspiracy theories have frequently thrown suspicion on our organization, for example by falsely alleging that Lee Harvey Oswald worked for us. The aim of this dispatch is to provide material for countering and discrediting the claims of the conspiracy theorists, so as to inhibit circulation of such claims.”
The memo instructed media assets to discredit those questioning government reports by saying the critics should be depicted as “wedded to theories adopted before the evidence was in, hasty or inaccurate in their research, or infatuated with their own theories.”
Posted by Donna Cleveland on FlickrThe approach laid out by the memo was adopted by many in the American media. That’s not a surprise given that Operation Mockingbird, a domestic propaganda campaign aimed at promoting the views of the CIA within the media, was in full swing at the time. And despite official claims that the CIA’s influence of American media was halted in 1976, after the Church Committee findings, the continued use of the terms “conspiracy theory” and “conspiracy theorist” indicates that the practice has continued.
A few years ago, I tested this by checking how many times the phrase “conspiracy theory” had appeared in the Washington Post and the New York Times in the 45 years before and after the CIA memo.
Before the memo was issued, “conspiracy theory” was a phrase used 50 times, or about once per year, in the Times or the Post. In the 45 years after the CIA memo, these newspapers used the term 2,630 times, or about once per week.
Before the CIA memo came out, the Washington Post and New York Times had never used the phrase “conspiracy theorist.” After the CIA memo came out, they have used the phrase “conspiracy theorist” 1,118 times.
The continued use of terms such as “conspiracy theorist” suggests that the CIA still controls the mainstream media. With regard to the crimes of 9/11, The New York Times has led the way in terms of support for official propaganda. Moreover, many “alternative” media sources use these slurs as frequently, or more, than mainstream media do.
An example was in August 2011, when I was a guest on National Public Radio’s ‘On Point” talk show to discuss 9/11 skepticism. Interestingly, I was the only 9/11 skeptic invited to appear on this show about 9/11 skeptics. The other two guests were Jim Meigs from Popular Mechanics and dubious “truther expert” Jonathan Kay. During the show, I answered questions from the host for about 5 minutes, until it became clear that my skepticism of 9/11 sounded rational. After I was dismissed—for the remaining 42 minutes of the show—Meigs, Kay, and the substitute host rambled on about the evils of conspiracy theories, using some form of the phrase conspiracy theory a total of 85 times. That’s more than once every 30 seconds.
The use of “conspiracy theory” to deter citizens from investigating historic events is paradoxical, to be sure. It suggests that those who commit criminal conspiracies can only be relatively powerless people who happen to live on the most strategically important lands, (and conspiracies among rich, powerful people are impossible or absurd.) It’s just that kind of doublethink mindset that has led us to where we are today as a nation.
Of course, 9/11 was a conspiracy. The only question is was it a conspiracy of people who could not possibly pull it off and who would only suffer as a result.... OR ... Was it a conspiracy of the people who benefited and had the power to accomplish it? The first option presents many problems. Common sense suggests the latter.
These days, it seems that you can tell who is working for the CIA simply by the way they use “conspiracy theory” and “conspiracy theorist” in attempts to belittle others. An example might be when a lawyer for gold mining companies was presented by the corporate media as a public servant/truth teller based on stolen documents that were never shared with the public. That lawyer and his colleagues at The Intercept use the conspiracy theorist slur as much as any other media source, and often when they are questioned about their dubious rise to fame.
In any case, our entire legal system is based on the idea of conspiracy....
...Yet despite this fact we have been conditioned by the government and the media to blindly accept official reports and to treat anyone questioning those reports as conspiracy theorists; THAT IS, YOU ARE A CONSPIRACY THEORIST IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT'S CONSPIRACY THEORY.
This technique is easy to see. Next time you read an article that uses these slurs, look more closely at the author (or poster/gatekeeper/troll) and where he or she is trying to lead you.

Oh, the rich RICH irony. This same Alinsky "Rules For Radicals" technique that is used by Spooks, Gubmint & G00gle against "CT!!" to shut down legit discussion and truth without question WHILE discrediting their opponent:
"Racist!!", "Anti-semite!!", "H0mophobe!!", "Xenophobe!!"(blank]tard!!), "Truther!!" etc!).
This obvious semantic parlor-trick by a panicky unprincipled elite and its army of uninformed/ignorant gatekeepers are no longer able to dam-up 911 lies OR its a plethora of other ongoing accepted Big Lies.
Perhaps it's time to re-examine and re-assess what and whose side you support....and Big Picture Agenda.

There IS big difference between members who are ignorant or oblivious of an Org's Agenda and acts.
Once one does know what's supported at the top of the food chain, are they obligated morally to back out? Or instead consider themselves so far removed from "the action" while using membership out of making a living or group-friendship and helping others that it's ok? (just asking rhetorically).
For proof of the difference between Grunts and "Brass," look no further than the varied way police depts are run in say Portland and...elsewhere. Same of the GOP. Same of the Court system. Same of the military "leadership", etc.

Ever see the episode of South Park with the underwear gnomes? That’s exactly what your thinking reminds me of.
Step one: steal underwear.
Step two: ?
Step three: profit!
What’s hilarious is you are equating one picture of two men, and a accusation, and using just that to put Masons on top of some ridiculous global conspiracy that is void of anything regarding any actual evidence of.
Your step two is so obvious.
Again, you deliberately avoid any discussion of any point I raise and instead serve up same old tired bullshit of, well, this guy was a Mason, and he did this, ergo, profit!
Am I talking to a wall here? Wasting my time? It’s pretty much the reason I only post a couple posts a year for the last 7 years or so.
If the damn Freemasons were so friggen evil, why don’t you, yes, you, infiltrate and expose this sinister world domination plan? Just become active, learn your lines, make friends, and make it known you want a larger role in organization. It’s NOT the Manhattan project.
Jeez, they’re even running ads for members since their numbers are cratering. What an evil group!
Seriously! But nah, all it ever is, is one person somewhere who was a Mason did something, or, in your case, was merely accused, and for you? That’s enough to flesh out crazytown.
I need to start a crazy group and expose all those evil Episcopalians. Seriously, am sure there is just as much material to work with.
You do realize there have been millions of Masons in this country, right? You’re bound to find a few things some have done that ain’t cool. But, take a good, solid look where that takes you. Ya, I get it, your brain is pozzed with this, and you will never admit this whole pile of shit is what it is.
Pride is funny like that. Most times, all someone has to do to harden someone’s opinion is disagree with them. If they’ve been spouting this nonsense for years, it’s done. It’s like a terminal case. No coming back.
When you can admit to yourself you have no step 2, we can talk. I’ve already given examples of conspiracies that have real legs to them in Hillary, and Epstein.
Wish this place luck, hope that the improvements considered bring new faces. Would be nice for you guys.

Those guys? They are ALL ELECTED. By other members, first, within their lodges, and then district, etc.
And don’t spout stuff about higher degrees. If you knew it was just about learning more lines in the LARP they put on once a week, you wouldn’t be saying that. It’s easy as hell to get to 32nd degree.
My brother may one day be in charge of the district, he’s very well liked. Why? Well, he was instrumental in starting the lodges yearly ‘pirate degree’ where, the LARP takes on a pirate theme for one night, and also, getting guest speakers that carry a lot of weight within the community of theirs to discuss going back to tradition in the group.
He also spends a lot of time at other lodges, and does a pilgrimage once a year to BFE in the eastern part of this state to the localized convention.
THAT is how one rises to the ‘top’ and becomes the super nefarious puppet master. It’s THE ONLY WAY. They are ALL voted on to get there. And leadership changes constantly.
It seems many just want to ignore their structure, the type of people in the group, what they try and do (become better men and give scholarships and to charities.) and cling to derp.
They are very good men, on the whole, from top to bottom. Not a breeding ground for evil. That is simply a fact.

I'm not sure why Franklin Graham thought it was just fine to promote a donut shop with a witch-y sounding name that sells a lot of donuts with (allegedly humorous) names like Cock And Balls. Or Triple Chocolate Penetration, etc.
Graham was America's most famous Baptist preacher. His wife was Presbyterian. When the children were born, they were baptized as infants.
I was suspicious of Graham over that, just as I was when he joined the World Council of Churches and wandered around praising the pope as the greatest living evangelist. When Graham was passed leadership of the most conservative fundamentalist group in the country at the beginning of his career, he repudiated the pledges he had made to keep their public profile fundamentalist. This was the beginning of the rise of evangelicalism to eventually crush the fundamentalist churches.
Graham was always a phony. He told quite a few major lies. He promoted himself by palling around with presidents, including the young alcoholic Bush Junior who he "saved" from alcoholism so he could become a good president like his daddy. Graham also planted his own volunteers in the audience of his televised rallies to come forward to be "saved", to make it look like his preaching was effective and that it was worthwhile for donors to continue sending him money to hold more rallies. Graham's preaching was strikingly weak and he had a noteworthy habit of chopping key doctrinal verses in half, leaving off the "bad half" that emphasized human guilt for sin and human responsibility to turn away from their own path of destruction. I called this "verse-chopping" and it characterizes Graham's preaching in my mind.
I do think there is enough evidence and testimony against Graham to believe credibly that he was a 33rd degree Mason. And that he concealed that and lied about it for decades.
I used to consider Graham more respectable than Falwell or Robertson. I've realized think that Falwell, an actual Baptist fundamentalist, was more honest about his positions and politics than Graham ever was. Robertson remains in the tank, another Benny Hinn type.

You mean, elected by other Satanic pedophiles?
Going back to tradition? There is nothing traditional about America and there hasn't been for many years. Tell me, is there anyone under 70 attending these meetings?
I thought the state and national conventions were where the Satanic/Masonic (same thing really) pedophiles worship Satan by sacrificing children to their master, Satan. They lure those children into their hands by offering them Voodoo Donuts™ with sexually suggestive names and shapes. Next thing you know, little Johnny is on an altar with donut crumbs around his mouth with the high priest/33rd degree Mason standing over him with a knife dripping with his blood.
Hush money to silence their surviving victims and pay off local authorities to suppress prosecution of their criminal acts.
Remember, kids, don't accept any donuts from a sleazy old dude with a funny little hat or strange costume.

The rot with Billy Graham didn't start in the Eighties or Nineties. It was there at the very beginning. A lot of fundamentalist Baptists used to complain about Graham and his antics over the years, his claim to be a Baptist preacher (who had baptized his own children as infants), etc.
The warning signs were there all along. And the endless praise for Graham from the libmedia, certainly enemies of Christendom, wasn't exactly an honor for Graham. He was never hated for being a Christian at all. Instead he was praised as the kind of wishy-washy Christian leader who could Judas Goat the rest of the sheep into being submissive and obedient to the State.

Facts? Based on what? Who?
As acknowledged, yes, outwardly or exotericaly "good deeds" are presented and even done on an individual basis. And maybe at individual lodges....
Your opinion is your opinion. Same of your definition of truth. Same of your definition of both "good" and "evil." And of course, your opinion is based on the extent of your knowledge on the subject and associations.
The fact remains, the Freemasons stamped their own symbol on the Holy Bible and changed it; adhere to secret rules and secret ritual pledges, take loyalty oaths to and worship "A Higher Power," aka the Light/Lucifer and his "Knowledge." (no, nothing to do Jesus Christ or God. Or truth for that matter.)
Since the late 1770s, the Freemasons have leveraged their influence and control over all matters of society ultimately NOT in the interest of benevolent motives.
Their history and subversive goals go way back. I'm not going to belabor the actual history and knowledge on this org (And you certainly won't check out any links I could provide in any case.)

We all know the evidence against George Soros for what it is that you are EXACTLY accusing the Freemasons of doing.
There are LOTS of money transfers to horrible groups that can be traced directly back to him. Show me one, just friggen one, instance like this with Masons.
Can’t find that? Damn, they’re either piss poor evildoers of George Soros completely overlooked the cunning way they do this.
But honestly, I don’t expect anyone to consider any of the things I’ve posted in this thread. It’s way too easy to tune out any such questions if they don’t comport to a belief hardwired in the brain. We used to call that being an NPC. It’s just programming from a non trad source. (Which is why many believe it.)
I still haven’t had anyone address the structure in any meaningful way, so, I expect this question to be ignored as well. That which doesn’t fit the narrative is to be dismissed or not talked about at all. Instead, bring up with scary music in the background, something, anything from decades ago.
Do powerful people conspire in private to increase power and wealth at the expense of the masses? Certainly. Do they need the structure of the Freemasons to do that? Hell no, in fact, that would be stupid, and that, they are not.

Originally Answered: Did William Casey (CIA Director) really say, "We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false."?
The meeting was in the Roosevelt Room in the West Wing of the White House, not far from the Cabinet Room. I was present at the meeting as Assistant to the chief domestic policy adviser to the President. Casey first told Reagan that he had been astonished to discover that over 80 percent of the 'intelligence' that the analysis side of the CIA produced was based on open public sources like newspapers and magazines.
As he did to all the other secretaries of their departments and agencies, Reagan asked what he saw as his goal as director for the CIA, to which he replied with this quote, which I recorded in my notes of the meeting as he said it.
Shortly thereafter I told Senior White House correspondent Sarah McClendon, who was a close friend and colleague, who in turn made it public. Barbara Honegger bshonegg@gmail.com

The Freemasons have officially been driving to the hoop as an organization for control of people and gubmint for abut 250 years. Under the radar (sorta.)
Soros and his orgs are a relative wisp of smoke, acting on behalf of the LARGER cabal of Elites. IN THE OPEN. No comparison.
There are LOTS of money transfers to horrible groups that can be traced directly back to him. Show me one, just friggen one, instance like this with Masons.

They run their organizations much differently. Apples and Watermelons. AND to much different long-range & personal goals.

Irony right there. *I* believe YOU believe you've figured it all out and laid out your supposed case.
"Money Transfers"?? You believe THAT is a primary factor of comparing Masons vs. Soros agenda? Not even in the same universe. Soros isn't close to the high degree of control of people, politics, courts, business and organizations by Masons in the US.
I still haven’t had anyone address the structure in any meaningful way...
I haven't the time or motivation to post stuff you'll merely dismiss or not watch/read. And admit it; you're not interested in digging deeper than your pre-conceived notion of "Masons" other than at the benevolence achieved at the LOCAL local level -- which again is MUCH different than the agenda at the TOP of the food-chain. And expressly DESIGNED that way. It's actually ingenious.
Do powerful people conspire in private to increase power and wealth at the expense of the masses? Certainly. Do they need the structure of the Freemasons to do that? Hell no, in fact, that would be stupid, and that, they are not.
Not only "power and wealth" -- nearly EVERY org aspires for that.

Such an astute observation shows a most perceptive insight of your understanding about how – rather watching goofy videos and spouting off what they others say - nice it would be to simply apply “critical thinking” to the thought process. This does not come naturally to some people, but fortunately, it’s something an individual can train himself to do.
Regrettably, there will always remain among us, those who because of the high volume of information that carry so many varied opinions every day – it will always be really easy for them to remain afflicted with their cognitive bias. They are forever destined to continually get lost in the formative details that are being subtly channeled into their minds and taking complete control over their though process.

2) Corroborative testimony of people warned to get out of Building 7 (prior to the pulling of the building.)
3) A reporter announced on LIVE AIR that the building had collapsed. BEFORE IT ACTUALLY COLLAPSED. (Yes, even I watched this report in real time, live.)
B) If a 757 didn't hit the Pentagon, what did and what is your evidence?
The evidence from both perspectives of argument of exactly what hit the Pentagram is circumstantial.
Your side cannot possibly cite any "evidence" that a 757 was actually what hit this building; Nor that a noob-pilot from Saudi Arabia expertly guided such an aircraft at near-ground level into the Pentagram (a direct hit into the General Accounting office, coincidently just a day after Rumsfeld public revelation of a missing $2 TRILLION.)
As circumstantial evidence from the other side, there is absolutely ZERO video OR scientific, OR forensic evidence that ANY "plane" hit the Pentagram. Given ZERO video despite countless security cameras.
I'm also going to discount the smattering of so-called "witnesses" (who happen to be gubmint employees) from afar who claim they "saw a plane."
There isn't ONE shred of evidence to support the physics that such a large plane created such a small hole in the Pentagram. (a few lame props strewn around weren't convincing.)
A mountain video and other documentation is out there, but why bother? If yu seek the truth you'll find it. Regarding the truth, this is yet another case of cognitive dissonance and, "We [blindly] accept the reality of the world with which we are presented."

It amazes me that those who roundly criticize the MSM for lying unquestioningly believe they are telling the truth about paradigm-shifting events like this and others.

Uh, ok.
Love ya man, but this thread isn’t a good look on you.
Same bro. Love you too. But in your case the adage, "we accept the reality of the world with which we are presented" also applies.
If you seek the truth you'll find it.

Yup. Exactamundo. They want it BOTH ways.
Letting any Goob "official report" and a pathologically lying MSM create their reality and truth makes no sense these days.
That's called, "cognitive dissonance."

Ok, I'll challenge you on this; That "something" is WHAT? Freemasonry?
Watching goofy videos with scary music talking about people who’ve been dead for hundreds of years doesn’t address a single thing about those questions and facts you just ignore.
What "questions and facts" have I ignored? I'll try and accommodate you.
If that video were part of a meal at the Olive Garden, it'd be "The Breadsticks."
These retarded vids/stories have been on the interwebs for as long as it’s been a thing. And, I read, a lot.
With all due respect, if you're not looking into a certain area of knowledge to investigate it, you won't find it.
Moreover, as quickly as many new (revealing) content hits youtube on a number of issues, it's taken down. Additionally, G00gle/Alphabet-Controlled algorithms are controlled and manipulated to bury such material as they deem "dangerous"...yeah, like "CTs" -- the thrust of this thread to begin with.

There's an interesting comment HERE that might interest you.
Scroll down to the comment made by Bill Bray, Former (Retired) Research Scientist at Central Intelligence Agency concerning Google algorithms.
If you really want to take the Dr. Bill acid test, go into Google AdWords. That is where they sell key words to the highest bidder so that their site floats to the top (no it is not ‘free information highway,’ that’s how Google became a multi-billion organization). Watch the key words that are floating to the top. Then, look at tomorrow morning’s headlines in Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. You will find that magically the minds of Americans predicted the next day’s news.
This of course is not the case. The multi-trillion dollar surveillance of Americans that they told you is to ‘protect you from terrorists,’ and so on is not what they are doing. All cell phone calls (the verbal content, referred to as meta-data), emails, text, are monitored. Since the Patriot Act portion that allowed this to expire, they used the clause ‘on American soil,’ literally and monitor everything via the communications satellites. There are also an estimated 20,000 drones OVER (BUT NOT ON) US soil, monitoring verbal communications that are not electronic. This can be done via unidirectional microphone, or by bouncing a laser off your window. That includes car window.
The Welcome to FBI.gov web site collects information, but is easier to access at Mass Shootings. In 2016 there were 384 mass shootings, almost 100 of which were listed as ‘terrorist motivated.’ So, the multi-trillion dollar surveillance network is not to ‘protect you.’
The system is designed to gather information on the ‘collective thinking,’ like the Borg, of the American public, and then design tomorrow’s news and media, literally overnight, to cattle herd you into a nice neat profile of behavior and commerce.
Again, take the acid test. Look at what you have access to, AdWords, and then watch tomorrow’s headlines magically appear. At first you might think, well that’s what people are interested in so that’s what’s in the news. Then, as you look at the flow of headlines regarding international campaigns, what the President said yesterday, what the senators and congressmen are doing or being accused of, it starts to get a bit freaky. Do this for several days, and you will see.

Perhaps you will no longer be AMAZED after you read this – only one of many – article: Faith No More: America's Trust in Mainstream Media Hits Rock Bottom.
People have reason and should roundly criticize the MSM – and they are doing that since polls show: 77 percent say major news outlets report 'fake news'
Salute,
Gatlin

Yet, people like you believe their lies about the 9/11 attacks.
Liberator nailed it - cognitive dissonance.

No, there isn't.
You posted a link that led to an empty server page (a 404), here at LF.
I kinda hate to admit that I do occasionally click one of your links. Too gratifying for you. : )

I'm not looking for questions. Anyone can ask questions. Questions are not proof that something else happened.
What makes you think a fire was intentionally started in WTC 7 and not in any of the other buildings surrounding WTC 1 and WTC 2? Where's the evidence of your conspiracy theory?
Similarly, where's your evidence of a CONTROLLED DEMO? You got ANY proof that explosives were used?
No. All you have are questions.

Try this:
Did CIA Director William Casey really say, "We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false"?
