Take 4 minutes and watch this video. Specific with sources and methods. Fantastic find and worth every minute of the 4 minutes
Yes and the video interview was done the same year Snowden was born. i am fully capable of compartmentalizing and discerning information. I found the video interesting and thought others might too. Feel free to delete, ignore or enjoy. I personally found it interesting that he not only discussed cultivating relationships with American journalists like assets but specifically which ones and why. Anyone wanting cliff notes. Video interview was done in 1983 with former CIA operative who spoke candidly of planting knowingly false info with specific journalists and paper/ magazines. Also spoke about how he was instructed to meet and foster trust through relationships for the sole purpose of knowing they would print what they wanted.
This is nothing unusual when it comes to propaganda or half truths. It's all spin to achieve a desired result. Short of boots on the ground to verify the information take it with a grain of salt. The aspect of getting other foreign governments involved in spreading propaganda and half truths can lead to strained relationships specifically when the truth is revealed. Once bitten twice shy.
