At various times, under its own initiative or in accordance with directives from the President of the United States or the National Security Council staff, the CIA has attempted to influence public opinion both in the United States and abroad. What if this operation is still going on today?Thomas from Paranoid American connects with Joel as they look at the origins of Operation Mockingbird and its influence on global manipulation.
