      If you’re ever bored and want to get really depressed, check out The Council of Foreign Relations for “studies” and The Heritage Foundation for “opinion”.

      If you look at their websites, you’ll note that their historical and public membership have many familiar names; often in both organizations.

      Who funds them? And why? Have fun

    The CIA either directly or indirectly owns the news source, or owns important key members of the news source (like let’s say an editor).

    “Owning” is achieved in myriad ways, from insider information leaks to assassination.

    This isn’t a conspiracy, this is documented fact; and we’ll never know the worst of it (as the CIA has destroyed thousands of top-secret documents to avoid revelations). We have no way of knowing what they’re doing now; but we can know with certainty they’ve done this for DECADES, and what we do know is horrifying.

    Recommend “Legacy of Ashes” by Weiner. I trust it because the CIA hates that book, even insulting it on their website at one time (not sure about now).

    There is no better endorsement.
