Hidden Propaganda

Is Everywhere you look on TV

I’m not sure where I heard it, but I’ve seen two recent discussions online that postulated the idea that the CIA has been grooming television personalities since the 1960’s, had created “assets” in media to propagandize the population, and had established a strong foothold behind the scenes in “Hollywood”.

I use quotations because Hollywood has become the generic term for all of media throughout the greater Los Angeles Metro region, there isn’t much actual production left within shouting distance of Hollywood and Vine. That particular area is rundown, decrepit, and not exactly what someone from Kansas City thinks in their mind’s eye when they hear the term “Hollywood”.

At first I dismissed the idea that the CIA would be involved in television production and the personalities we see everyday.

Something about the term used, citing the 1960’s as some starting point, and thinking back on the personalities of the day, it made no sense that television stars of the day would agree to be a “useful tool” of the “Deep State”. To promote propaganda on behalf of the government for cash. That all smacks of a little too much Herman Goring, and hadn’t we just been through WWII? Weren’t these men familiar with fascist behavior a little too up close and personal to get involved with our own government’s version of propagandizing our people?

Something in my mind immediately went to Frank Sinatra sining on some variety show, or Dean Martin, who had his own show. They just didn’t seem to me to be men who would take orders from the CIA to promote a narrative.

Sure Bob Hope was traveling Southeast Asia doing goodwill tours with the USO, but that was all out of the goodness of his heart, for “our boys” wasn’t it, not some thinly veiled “support” for a war that should never have been fought. Hope is said to have been the richest man in California then, owning more land than anyone but the Federal government, but I’m sure that wouldn’t have been from cash funneled to him by the CIA, right?

The various celebrities that accompanied him were doing “our boys” a favor, right?

Joey Heatherton wouldn’t allow herself to be used to sell an awful war, would she? I trusted her when I bought that Serta.

They weren’t tacitly indicating we should support a worthless war that had nothing to do with protecting the US of A, and was really more about Pentagon aggression against a Soviet Union boogeyman, right? A little military-industrial complex cash grab spread out over ten years?

And as I was driving, giving this all some thought, two contemporary people popped immediately into mind.

First was Michael Strahan. Second was Stephen Colbert.

Michael Strahan played “the game”. A tough lineman, strong, manly, gritty. He was in the trenches, he gave a beating and took a beating. This is a man’s man, a gap-toothed tough guy who won championships, who had the discipline, talent, and fortitude to play the game at the highest level. Every man envies Strahan. He walked through the tunnel, got down in the mud, doled out the beatings, and took his share.

And my mind went to the man sitting on those stupid bar height stools as feet away the rather fey and petite George Stephanopolous cooed over a make-over. And there sat Strahan, smiling too. Praising some housewife from Ohio for getting a five hundred dollar haircut and highlight, and having make-up applied liberally from a professional backstage.

It isn’t very traditionally “manly” to sit through a make-over show. But not only was the man’s man Michael Strahan sitting there smiling through it all, he was participating.

Here is Strahan praising an eleven year old “drag queen”

Through every liberal episode of “GMA” there sits Strahan, supporting the Covid shot in every discussion every morning of the “Pandemic”, sitting smiling through every LGBTQ+ alphabet soup episode supporting gender transition, the idea that there exists multiple genders, sitting smiling as the network show pushes every Liberal idea imaginable.

And then I thought of my frat boy friends. The jocks. Guys who may not have played the game at the highest level, but the same kind of men that Strahan used to be surrounded by in the locker room.

And not a one of them would sit through that shit smiling and smiling without some wisecrack or negative comment. Without correcting George that “if you get the shot you can’t transmit or get the disease”, “Uh, that isn’t right George, you got the shot and you’ve had the disease now twice. Why are you lying to the American people”.

Or, “Mrs. Jones from Ohio does look great, I’m not sure how she’ll be able to find one of the finest New York stylists to maintain her new hair in Toledo, or have a make-up professional visit to keep the applications fresh, but hey, she looks better today.

I can’t see any normal man I know sitting through a morning show drag performance and not saying “well you may be entertained, but I find this all a bit disturbing. And now a word from our sponsor, Pfizer”.

And now, after thinking it over, I am convinced more than ever that Michael Strahan is a plant, a paid operative, meant to give the appearance to all that a man’s man, a jock who has achieved at the highest, toughest level of sports, is perfectly comfortable sitting and speaking with an eleven year old “drag queen”.

Hey, you, you out there, Mr. Jock, Mr. tough guy, you got something against an eleven year old “drag queen”? What is wrong with you? You’re not as tough as Michael Strahan, and he endorses it all.

Why is it I knew immediately when they appointed former Clinton counsel and insider George Stephanopoulos to the show “GMA” that this was nothing but a propagandist for the DNC and Left Wing acting as some neutral arbiter of the news every morning. I knew immediately that this was a “plant” from the Left, to parrot every narrative from the Left.

But why didn’t my little, tiny, brain go and make the connection that, “if they will do it with George, why would they not co-op others, why would they not do it with every talking head on the show, including “tough guy” Strahan, a bit more thinly disguised, but every bit the propagandist as George?

Stephen Colbert.

When you think of the Covid narrative, when you think of government lies about Covid, when you think about “stay six feet apart”, “masks work”, “if you get the shot you can’t get Covid, or transmit Covid”, your cousin who won’t get the shot is killing your grandmother”, “the pandemic started in a wet market, have you ever heard of a pangolin”, and “the lab leak theory has been debunked”, don’t you picture in your mind this farce

I don’t watch Colbert but every Youtube cut of him is one where he is denigrating Donald J. Trump, attempting to destroy Republicans, promoting Democrats, and being the single biggest shill for the Left that has every occupied a slot on television.

There is no other explanation for Colbert then that he is a plant from the “Deep State” to promote all things DNC, all things Left, and to convince the American People that government knows what is best for people. He is just too Far Left extreme to be anything but a plant.

In the “old days” you’d get to work, be making your morning coffee, and inevitably someone would come into the break room and say “hey, did you see Carson last, night, I’ve got to say I’ve never laughed so hard, he…” and you’d hear a part of his monologue repeated, a story on him and a guest. Soon the entire office would be laughing or smiling over some anecdote over Carson on his late night show.

When was the last time anyone referenced Colbert being funny? Kimmel being “funny”?

It never happens. It just never happens anymore, why it as if their job is no longer to amuse us right before bed, to be humorous and send us to slumber smiling about their antics, but to send us to be indoctrinated, sleeping soundly knowing “big brother” government is there for us all. “Dancing Covid needles” in support of our mutual health, our collective benefit, we are all ensconced in our government’s warm embrace, comforting and caring fore us all. Colbert soft-shoeing as he soft-shoes government propaganda, as we shuffle off to sleep.

The idea of the CIA using this new medium in the 1960’s to propagandize the American people seem anathema to its purpose, to protect us from others.

The idea that the CIA would turn inward, and propagandize the American people feels backwards, convoluted, sinister, almost evil.

Yet thinking back, this would be just after they had murdered Kennedy. Paranoia had to be running deep then, the idea of beginning a campaign to steer Americans thoughts and beliefs toward their common goals would make complete sense.

How else do you square the idea today that a Rachel Maddow is being paid some thirty-five million dollars for one show a week? Could that be just rewards for lying to the American public nightly about “Russiagate” at full volume, or berating Americans to follow the directive on Covid, begins to make complete sense.

To witness anyone on MSNBC sit there and spout DNC talking points literally 24/7, to think that Joy Reid has her own show, and survives the lowest ratings imaginable, how is this possible, what keeps these shows on air, there has to be funding from some source to keep these shows airing. The ratings are lower than for some infomercials.. Yet they never go off air. Could support dollars be flowing through back channels from our CIA to MSNBC to promote the DNC talking points full time?

How else would you ever explain “The View”

Are Americans really clamoring for Far Left rhetoric and narrative all day, every day?

Seriously?

As a life-long conservative have I become such a tiny minority with such a stilted viewpoint that I am completely out-of-step with the American People?

Am I wrong to look at California, with it’s super majority Democratic Government where Democrats control everything, every aspect of California life and living, all taxation, all regulations, they control absolutely everything in California and can get their way one hundred percent of the time, and I don’t see paradise, I don’t see some Shangri-La, I don’t see Nirvana and the recreated Garden of Eden on earth. I see an absolute overtaxed shithole with homeless run amok, crime run amok, unlivable conditions as in Oakland, San Francisco in deep decline, Los Angeles bifurcating into the very, very rich, and abject poor with no middle class, and I say “well, you have to blame Democrats, there are no Republicans or conservatives in any positions of power.

I ask you, what would it take for you to move to Oakland tomorrow?

California is perhaps the most beautiful state in the union. Gorgeous. Mountains, ocean, lakes, every time I visit I marvel at how beautiful the state really is. But then I visit Venice and can’t walk on the sidewalk for the homeless and trash is everywhere, you have to look as you walk in the sand you don’t step on a used drug needle.

the more I look the more I believe that yes, indeed, the CIA is somehow propping up talking heads to propagandize us all full time.

It is the only thing that explains Colbert, and surely the only thing that explains a Joy Behar. If you had to use one word to describe Behar “screech” comes immediately to mind.
