We Are Being Programmed (Part 5): CIA Takes Over

We are all affected by it...call it advertising, propaganda,
programming, social engineering, psychological operations, or
whatever other term could be applied.  The act of a force
outside of your mind trying to convince you to do something. 
In this installment we take a look at what happened to the enormous
propaganda machine after WWII was over.  Once the Office of
War Information was disbanded in 1945, the Central Intelligence
Agency took over the domestic operations and "assumed many of the
information gathering, analyzing and disseminating
responsibilities".  So, what would the CIA use its new found
domestic propaganda powers for?  In the early 1950's, Frank
Wisner (head of the Directorate of Plans for CIA), Allan W. Dulles
(Director of Central Intelligence) and Cord Meyer (Office of Policy
Coordination) started Operation Mockingbird.  By 1953,
Operation Mockingbird had "major influence over 25 newspapers and
wire agencies".  We also touch on the House Un-American
Activities Committee and the CIA's Project MK Ultra program.
