Media PSYOP 'Operation Mockingbird' Still Targeting Americans: Gabbard
[Jonfleetwood.com via Zero] The CIA’s infamous Cold War propaganda and psychological operation (PSYOP) program never died—it just turned inward...

The question isn’t whether the government is manipulating Americans, but how they’re doing it right now—through intelligence leaks, media collusion, psychological tactics, and taxpayer-funded propaganda.

That was the warning from U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard during a searing July 31 interview, where she confirmed that intelligence insiders are actively using corporate media to manipulate the American people and sabotage President Donald Trump’s agenda—echoing the tactics of ’Operation Mockingbird.’

Every major news organization or its parent companies, from FOX News to CNN, are owned by globalist-aligned asset managers like BlackRock, an offical partner of the anti-American-sovereignty World Economic Forum (WEF).

"There are people within the intelligence community who believe that their will is more important than the will of the American people," Gabbard told conservative host Benny Johnson. "[They] will weaponize intelligence by leaking it to their friends within the mainstream media with the intent of undermining President Trump’s agenda."

MOCKINGBIRD RELOADED: INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AIMED AT AMERICANS
Once a covert CIA program used to plant propaganda in foreign and domestic media, Operation Mockingbird infiltrated major U.S. newsrooms throughout the 1950s—1970s.

It was exposed during the Church Committee hearings, where Congress revealed that the agency maintained relationships with hundreds of journalists to shape public perception.

Today, Gabbard says, that same playbook is being deployed against Americans.

Only now, it’s fully digital, algorithmic, and taxpayer-funded.

"They are subverting the will of the people and therefore undermining the Constitution," Gabbard warned.

FROM CIA TO CDC: GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA IS NOW A DOMESTIC INDUSTRY
Gabbard’s warning comes as Congress continues to uncover a parallel propaganda apparatus inside U.S. health agencies.

A damning House Energy and Commerce Committee report released in October 2024 found that the Biden Administration spent $900 million in taxpayer funds on a COVID-19 propaganda campaign that intentionally misled the public.

"The Biden-Harris administration caused Americans to lose trust in the public health system," said Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), accusing the CDC and NIH of using ads containing "erroneous or unproven information."

#1 Mockingbird infiltrated major U.S. newsrooms throughout the 1950s—1970s.

Newsrooms, Media, the Congress, other government agencies; one could safely assume the 'embedding' process left no stone unturned.

It didn't happen in a day. It won't get repaired in day.

#8 If Mockingbird is not in effect, I don’t see how the outcome would be different. The Supercuts of all of them reciting the same script was ridiculous.
