\u201c\u2026since grasping the present from within is the most problematic task the mind can face.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em>
\n— Frederic Jameson<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

24 Jul 2017 – <\/em>Have you ever seen a photograph of yourself from the past and laughed or grimaced at the way you were dressed or your hair style? It\u2019s a common experience. \u00a0But few people draw the obvious conclusion about the present: that our present appearance might be equally laughable. \u00a0The personal past seems to be <\/em>\u201cover there,\u201d an object to be understood and dissected for its meaning, while the present seems opaque and shape-shifting \u2013 or just taken-for-granted okay.\u00a0 \u201cThat was then,\u201d says the internal voice, \u201cbut I am wiser now.\u201d \u00a0Historical perspective, even about something as superficial as appearance, rarely illuminates the present, perhaps because it makes us feel ignorant and unfree.<\/p>\n

This is even truer with political and social history.<\/p>\n

In recent years there has been a spate of books and articles detailing the CIA\u2019s past Cold War cultural and political propaganda efforts, from the creation of the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF) with its string of magazines, to its collaboration with many famous writers and intellectuals, including Peter Matthiessen, George Plimpton, Richard Wright, Irving Kristol, et al., and its penetration and working relationships with so many publications and media outlets, including The New York Times, the Paris<\/em> Review, Encounter<\/em>, etc. These expos\u00e9s show how vast was the CIA\u2019s propaganda network throughout the media and the world, and how many people participated in the dirty work.<\/p>\n

Joel Whitney, in his recently published book, Finks: How the CIA Tricked the World\u2019s Best Writers<\/em> (the word \u201ctricked\u201d ignores the eager accomplices), tells this scandalous story in illuminating detail.\u00a0 His account informs and nauseates simultaneously, as one learns how the CIA penetrated NGOs, television, universities, magazines, newspapers, book publishing, etc., finding willing collaborationists everywhere – scoundrels eager to spy on and betray even their friends as they deceived the public worldwide; how well-meaning leftist writers such as Ernest Hemingway and Garcia Marquez were tricked into lending their names and work to propaganda publications; how leftists were set against leftists in an elaborate effort to sow paranoia and confusion that could be used to put the Soviet Union in the worst possible light; and how many front organizations were created to secretly funnel money to support these endeavors and make and break careers. \u00a0The story makes your skin crawl.<\/p>\n

But that was then. \u00a0What about now? \u00a0Whitney doesn\u2019t say, presumably because he doesn\u2019t know; doesn\u2019t have documentary evidence to name names.\u00a0 This is not a criticism.\u00a0 He does say that \u201cwe understand vaguely that our media are linked to our government still today, and to government\u2019s stated foreign policy,\u201d and he wonders if the ideology that drove the CIA\u2019s past endeavors \u201cremains with us. (I am reminded of Emerson\u2019s words: \u201cWhat you do (or don\u2019t) speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.\u201d). \u00a0Despite his use of tepid language about the present, especially that word \u201cvaguely,\u201d it seems that Whitney thinks similar propaganda activities are going on today, which is why a blurb for Finks <\/em>at his publisher\u2019s website (OR Books) and at amazon.com by James Risen of the New York Times, who has written two books about the CIA, strikes such an odd note.\u00a0 It reads:<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It may be difficult to believe that the American intellectual elite was once deeply embedded with the CIA.\u00a0 But with Finks, Joel Whitney vividly brings to life the early days of the Cold War, when the CIA\u2019s Ivy League ties were strong, and key American literary figures were willing to secretly do the bidding of the nation\u2019s spymasters. \u201cDifficult to believe.\u201d \u00a0For whom? \u00a0\u201cOnce.\u201d\u00a0 When? In the bad old days? \u201cWhen the CIA\u2019s Ivy League ties were strong.\u201d Does the CIA now recruit from community colleges?<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Are these the good old days?\u00a0 Such language usage makes one wonder: is it just a quickly scribbled blurb or carefully chosen words?<\/p>\n

The Future is Now<\/strong><\/p>\n

No doubt the archives and sealed documents will be pried loose through repeated FOIA requests in thirty or forty years and the moans and groans about today\u2019s bad old days will fill the air. \u00a0How could they have done such things?\u00a0 It\u2019s just outrageous!\u00a0 But that was then, not now.\u00a0 It\u2019s different now; we are older but wiser.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to suppress a sardonic laugh, so I won\u2019t.\u00a0 Today we are obviously drowning in CIA propaganda throughout the corporate mainstream media, and in the alternative online media as well. One has only to see \u201cwhat they do, or don\u2019t.\u201d The documentation is in the doing, and it doesn\u2019t take a genius to grasp how blatant it is.\u00a0 It is in no way \u201cvague.\u201d But it does take good faith, and a passion for truth, which is sorely lacking.\u00a0 Why this is so is a key issue I will return to.<\/p>\n

As in the past, some propaganda is obvious and other subtler and indirect.\u00a0 Yet it is relentless.\u00a0 There may or may not be a comparable Congress for Cultural Freedom today, but with advanced technology and the internet, it may not be needed.\u00a0 Methods may change; intentions remain the same. What was once done surreptitiously is now done blatantly, as I wrote in January: the deep state has gone shallow.<\/a> Fifty years ago the CIA coined the term \u201cconspiracy theory\u201d as a weapon to be used to dismiss the truths expressed by critics of its murder of President Kennedy, and those of Malcom X, MLK, and RFK.\u00a0 All the media echoed the CIA line.\u00a0 While they still use the term to dismiss and denounce, their control of the MSM is so complete today that every evil government action is immediately seconded, whether it be the lies about the Attacks of September 11, 2001, the wars against Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, etc., the coup in Ukraine, the downing of the Malaysian jetliner there, drone murders, the looting of the American people by the elites, alleged sarin gas attacks in Syria, the anti-Russia bashing \u2013 everything.\u00a0 The New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, NPR, etc. \u2013 all are stenographers for the deep state.<\/p>\n

Denying Existential Freedom <\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the first things an authoritarian governing elite must do is to convince people that they are not free.\u00a0 This has been going on for at least forty years, ever since the Church Committee\u2019s revelations about the CIA in the mid-seventies, including its mind-control programs.\u00a0 Everyone was appalled at the epiphany, so a different tactic was employed.\u00a0 Just have \u201cexperts,\u201d social, psychological, and biological \u201cscientists,\u201d repeat ad infinitum that there is no longer any mind control since we now know there is no mind; it is an illusion, and it all comes down to the brain.\u00a0 Biology is destiny, except in culturally diversionary ways in which freedom to choose is extolled \u2013 e.g. the latest fashions, gender identity, the best hair style, etc.\u00a0 Create and lavishly fund programs for the study of the brain, while supporting and promoting a vast expansion of pharmaceutical drugs to control people.\u00a0 Do this in the name of helping people with their emotional and behavioral problems that are rooted in their biology and are beyond their control.\u00a0 And create criteria to convince people that they are sick.<\/p>\n

We have been told interminably that our lives revolve around our brains (our bodies) and that the answers to our problems lie with more brain research, drugs, genetic testing, etc. It is not coincidental that the U. S. government declared the 1990s the decade of brain research, followed up with 2000-2010 as the decade of the behavior project, and our present decade being devoted to mapping the brain and artificial intelligence, organized by the Office of Science and Technology Project and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. How convenient! George H. W. Bush, Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama, Trump \u2014 what a difference! But this is science and the welfare of the world.\u00a0 Science for idiots.<\/p>\n

Drip by drip, here and there, articles, books, media reports have reiterated\u00a0 that people are \u201cdetermined\u201d by biological, genetic, social, and psychological forces over which they have no control.\u00a0 To assert that people are free in the Satrean sense (en soir<\/em>, condemned to freedom, or free will) has come to be seen as the belief of a delusional fool living in the past , a bad philosopher, an anti-scientist, a poorly informed religionist, one nostalgic for existential cafes, Gauloises, and black berets, but being totally out of it.\u00a0 One who doesn\u2019t grasp the truth since he doesn\u2019t read the New York Times or watch CBS television.<\/p>\n

The conventional propaganda \u2013 I almost said wisdom \u2013 created through decades-long media and academic (don\u2019t forget the pathetic academy) repetition, is that we are not free.\u00a0 Let me repeat: we are not free.<\/p>\n

Investigator reporter John Rappoport has consistently exposed the propaganda involved in the creation and expansion of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) with its pseudo-scientific falsehoods and collusion between psychiatrists and the pharmaceutical industry.\u00a0 As he correctly notes<\/a>, the CIA\u2019s MKULTRA mind-control program has morphed into modern psychiatry, both with the same objectives of disabling and controlling people by convincing them that they are not free and are in need of a chemical brain bath.<\/p>\n

Can anyone with an awareness of this history doubt there is a hidden hand behind this development?\u00a0 Once you have convinced people that they are not free in the most profound sense, the rest is child\u2019s play.\u00a0 Convinced that they are puppets, they become puppets to be played. Who would want to get people to believe they were not free?<\/p>\n

Terrified to See the Current Truth?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many excellent writers who, because they are truth seekers, have used logical analysis to deconstruct the patent propaganda of deep state forces and their media scribes.\u00a0 They do so through close reading (a skill once taught in schools) and historical knowledge without waiting for documentation, though sometimes it arrives from sources such as Wikileaks, FOIA requests, or government leakers like Edward Snowden or Chelsey Manning.\u00a0 While not always definitive, many of these analyses clearly raise disturbing questions that give the lie to the presstitutes\u2019 claims of innocent objectivity. Their arguments are laid bare so the CIA\u2019s and deep-state\u2019s handiwork shines through. \u00a0Robert Parry, Michel Chossudovsky, Paul Craig Roberts, John Pilger, James Petras, David Ray Griffin, Graeme MacQueen and many others have so demolished the propaganda that the question of why so many liberals and left-leaning people still refuse to accept the obvious echoes in the ears of those familiar with the Congress for Cultural Freedom\u2019s machinations to set leftists and liberals against each other through media manipulation. While left and right-wing disinformation collaborationists are everywhere and the CIA obviously has its people placed throughout the cultural and media landscape, it is clear to me that there is something else involved.<\/p>\n

So much of the ongoing propaganda travels under the banner of \u201cthe war on terror,\u201d which is, of course, an outgrowth of the attacks of September 11, 2001, appropriately named and constantly reinforced as 9\/11 in a wonderful example of linguistic mind-control: a constant emergency to engender anxiety, depression, panic, and confusion, four of the symptoms that lead the DSM \u201cexperts\u201d and their followers to diagnose and drug individuals.\u00a0 The term 9\/11 was first used in the New York Times on September 12, 2001 by Bill Keller, the future Times\u2019 editor.<\/p>\n

Douglas Valentine, a true expert on the CIA and author of The CIA as Organized Crime<\/em> and The Phoenix<\/em> Program<\/em>, has shown that the CIA\u2019s highly structured assassination program in Vietnam \u2013 the Phoenix Program \u2013 is the template for \u201cthe war on terror.\u201d\u00a0 In other books he has shown how the CIA\u2019s role in drug trafficking is directly linked to the massive increased usage of heroin and other street drugs, another face of the drugging of the country. Thus the \u201cinstitutional\u201d structure and consequent practices of one of the most ruthless propaganda and terrorist organizations of the United States\u2019 deep-state (the Phoenix program) continues to this day here and abroad.\u00a0 To think that the Agency\u2019s handiwork once carried on under the banner of the Committee for Cultural Freedom does not continue today would take extreme na\u00efvet\u00e9, the inability to reason, historical ignorance, plain bad faith, or a combination thereof.<\/p>\n

Which brings me back to the issue of why so many \u201cliberal\u201d Democrats \u2013 those whose bibles are the New York Times, NPR, The Washington Post, Democracy Now<\/em>, etc. \u2013 can only see propaganda when they can attribute it to Donald Trump or the Russians.\u00a0 Why has this group, together with their Republican and conservative fellow travelers, embraced a new McCarthyism and allied itself with the deep-state forces that they were once allegedly appalled by?\u00a0 It surely isn\u2019t the policies of the Trump administration or his bloviating personality, for these liberals allied themselves with Obama\u2019s anti-Russian rhetoric, his support for the U.S. orchestrated neo-fascist Ukrainian coup, his destruction of Libya, his wars of aggression across the Middle East, his war on terror, his trillion dollar nuclear weapons modernization, his enjoyment of drone killing, his support for the coup in Honduras, his embrace of the CIA and his CIA Director John Brennan, his prosecution of whistle-blowers, etc.\u00a0 The same media that served the CIA so admirably over the decades became the media that became liberals\u2019 paragons of truth.\u00a0 Why?<\/p>\n

Let me try to answer by referring to two articles that appeared side-by-side in The New York Times <\/em>Magazine for May 28, 2017.\u00a0 Their content, style, and juxtaposition suggest an answer to the schizoid subtleties of master manipulators, and how cultural\/political propaganda works in oblique ways off the front pages.<\/p>\n

The cover story for that issue, \u201cAleppo After the Fall,\u201d accompanied by the words \u201cLife And Loss Amid The Ruins of Syria\u2019s Fractious And Devastating Civil War\u201d and a photo of a demolished Aleppo district, sets the tone, especially the lie in the words \u201ccivil war.\u201d\u00a0 The war was started under President Obama in March 2011 by the United States\/NATO\/Israel with the arming of Islamist \u201cfreedom fighters\u201d in an effort to overthrow President Bashar al Assad. But the Sunday morning Times reader is immediately told otherwise, as they have been for the past six years of carnage. Most probably don\u2019t notice the deception as they flip to the table of contents where they see a photo of cream puffs and coffee.<\/p>\n

As they sip their morning coffee and think about cream puffs, let\u2019s imagine our readers turning to the first major story preceding the Aleppo piece by Robert F. Worth, a contributing writer for the magazine.\u00a0 It is an article titled \u201cEmpire of Dust\u201d by Molly Young, also a contributing writer.\u00a0 It is a title that suggests further disintegration of a most serious nature (no, not the American Empire), yet it is an article about Amanda Chantal Bacon and the rise of the wellness industry. A photo of this \u201cbeatific\u201d 34 year old entrepreneurial guru in a flowing white gown in a half-lotus position, seated on a marble kitchen countertop surrounded by some \u201cmagical\u201d rocks, takes up an entire page.\u00a0 The photo, a Barthian signifier if ever there were one, is clearly meant to be deciphered by the Times<\/em>\u2019 clientele for secrets to the beautiful, luxurious, and peaceful life due to one of means and exquisite taste, one who will spend five dollars on a newspaper and live a balanced, Epicurean life of self-care and sophistication. Bacon\u2019s massive light-filled kitchen with its marble countertops \u2013 a sine qua non of today\u2019s \u201cgood life\u201d \u2013 serves the usual elitist function of drawing in readers with a discerning, moneyed eye.<\/p>\n

Alternately fawning and critical, Young begins by telling the reader, \u201cThe amount of time I waste finding and consuming alternative-medicine supplements for \u2018brain function\u2019 has made me at least 10 percent dumber, and that paradox is not lost on me.\u00a0 It was that impulse that made me pause last year at a fancy store in Brooklyn when I spotted a glass jar labeled \u2018Brain Dust\u2019.\u201d\u00a0 From there Young takes us to Los Angeles, where she interviews the lifestyle guru Bacon, and we hear about Spirit Dust, Beauty Dust, Sex Dust, vaginal steaming, spirit truffles, and sunbathing the vagina, and to the Hamptons where she again spots Brain Dust in an expensive store that also sells \u201cboeuf-bourguignon-flavored dog biscuits.\u201d Young, having traversed the golden triangle \u2013 Brooklyn, L.A., and the Hamptons \u2013 tells us how Bacon captures her imagination even as she \u201cwas ashamed of its capture.\u201d She drinks Power Dusted coffee with the Moon Juice founder who tells her, \u201cI was told growing up in NYC that I had learning disabilities and mental illness. That was all the rage in the \u201890s.\u201d (Presumably they are raging no longer.) After offering mild criticisms\u2019 and writing that after visiting Bacon\u2019s house she \u201cwanted to move to California and eat bee pollen,\u201d Young covertly orders bee pollen from her phone and ends by telling us that the Moon Juice bee pollen she has ordered \u201cwould arrive in two to four business days.\u201d The reader is left to wonder who is dumber or smarter despite or because of the Brain Dust.<\/p>\n

But if one is feeling brain dead, one can move or jump-cut to the next article, a piece of cosmopolitan gravitas meant to clarify who are the good guys and who the bad in the Middle East, specifically Syria.<\/p>\n

Turning to this article on Aleppo, a juxtaposing of pornographic proportions, one is greeted with a two page photo of totally destroyed buildings in front of which walk a woman pushing a toddler in a stroller and a man pushing another toddler in a makeshift wooden cart covered in plastic sheeting. One flips from \u201cSex Dust\u201d to disgust and heartbreak in a page turn. The reader is walked step-by-step into a piece of political propaganda, as Robert Worth tells us that \u201cThe Syrian tragedy started in a moment of deceptive simplicity, when the peaceful protesters of the 2011 Arab Spring seemed destined to inherit the future.\u201d\u00a0 This deception is then quickly followed with the claim that Assad used \u201cchemical weapons in the town of Khan Sheikhoun in early April,\u201d an assertion backed by no evidence and clearly refuted by Seymour Hersh, among others.\u00a0 Worth tells us that \u201cthe Syrian regime (note the sly use of the word regime, a staple of linguistic mind-control) and its Russian allies repeatedly bombed hospitals and civilian areas,\u201d and that in the United States such actions were \u201cwidely deplored as a war crime comparable to the worst massacres of the Bosnian war during the 1990s.\u201d\u00a0 One has to give credit to Worth for a masterful double-deception here, first by accusing the Syrians and Russians but not the United States of repeatedly bombing hospitals and civilian areas, and then segueing to the \u201cBosnian\u201d war with nary a mention of the U.S.\/NATO conspiracy to dismantle Yugoslavia through proxies and the subsequent massive bombing of Serbia and Serbian civilians that were clearly war crimes committed by the liberal saint, Bill Clinton.\u00a0 Throughout this piece Worth repeatedly accuses the Assad government of war crimes and atrocities while whitewashing the United States.\u00a0 Immediately following his assertion of Syrian war crimes, he tells the Sunday Times<\/em>\u2019 readers that \u201c the State Department released satellite photographs suggesting that the regime is burning the bodies of executed prisoners in a crematory at the Sednaya prison complex, north of Damascus, in an alleged effort to hide evidence.\u201d\u00a0 This claim is based on a totally discredited claim\u00a0 made in February 2017 by Amnesty International, and Worth, knowing that there is no evidence for this, cagily uses the words \u201csuggesting\u201d and \u201calleged.\u201d\u00a0 But juxtaposed with the war crimes assertions, only a careful reader searching for truth would notice the trick, surely not a Time Magazine reader already predisposed by the daily Times\u2019s constant flow of government lies.\u00a0 Quoting a speech by Assad in which he claimed there was a \u201chuge conspiracy\u201d to dismantle and destroy Syria, Worth dismissively rejects this obvious truth by quoting an anonymous former regime official (a common tactic) who says he was shocked by the speech.\u00a0 If Assad had given a different speech, Worth notes, \u201cthe past six years would have unrolled very differently, and oceans of blood might have been spared.\u201d\u00a0 This is the imperial mindset at its finest, all rolled into an extensive New York Times Magazine<\/em> article meant to enlighten and inform its alleged sophisticated readers.<\/p>\n

What I am suggesting with these magazine examples is that the old trick perfected by the Congress for Cultural Freedom to juxtapose cultural pieces with political ones is alive and well today, even if the CCF or its equivalent doesn\u2019t exist, since it isn\u2019t needed.\u00a0 Illiteracy has become the norm and stupidity the rule as the electronic revolution has destroyed people\u2019s ability to concentrate or stay focused long enough to realize they are being taken for a ride by propagandists and that they are being purposely overloaded with information meant to create a felt need for \u201cBrain Dust.\u201d This has been going on for so long that to admit one is still being taken for a ride is equivalent to admitting to gullibility so profound that it must be denied. It is one thing criticize the politicians you hate \u2013 George W. Bush and Donald Trump for liberal Democrats and Bill Clinton and Obama for conservative Republicans \u2013 and to call them liars; but to contemplate the fact that the CIA has been lying to you through all these mouthpieces and your vaunted news sources are stenographers for the intelligence agencies is too much reality to bear. \u201cI might have looked funny in that old photograph, but today I am with it and stylish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sure.<\/p>\n

Everything has become style today, and no doubt the CIA has learned that the trick is to hide truthful substance behind the style. Evidence is beside the point.\u00a0 Just assert things in a slick style.\u00a0 Assert them repeatedly, even when they have been proven false or fraudulent. Sex Dust and Power Dust may be absurd con jobs, but they sell.\u00a0 They meet a \u201cneed,\u201d a need created by the society that has slyly equated power with sex for a population that has been convinced they have neither and need drugs to endow them with both. A piece about Brain Dust may not have the drawing power of a Paris Review<\/em> interview with Ernest Hemingway or Boris Pasternak, but then there were no \u201clifestyle gurus\u201d in those days when people read real literature, not today\u2019s New York Times<\/em> best sellers. Propaganda was more literary in those days; it had to have substance. In a \u201cwellness culture,\u201d it has to have style. Today the only time you hear the word substance, is in \u201csubstance abuse,\u201d which is fitting.<\/p>\n

The CIA is in the styling business; they\u2019ve gone shallow.\u00a0 Everyone looks great that way, or so they think.<\/p>\n
