Information

I know, just as I say I'm leaving, I feel the call to come back. Anyway, I'm considering adding a lot of information to this page, but at the same time I'd like to keep the big joke part. What do you all think? (Also, is there a translation of the Latin available?) Researcher 21:54, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

It's bog standard printers/publishers dummy text used for demo purposes only. Found everywhere in print & Web dummies.   ^Contribs_Talk 21:59, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Hey, researcher, feel free to add. But please to play with the blacked out text. I have an awesome cold-war era book, about the CIA. The CIA went to court to prevent it's publication, and the judge agreed that "sections" should not be publicized. So, the authors left "blank space" wherever their text had to be redacted in the first edition. I'll dig up details if you like. ħuman 00:25, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

Oh, all CIA books are like that. It's really funny to see. (Some of my professors who used to work for state/CIA give us handouts like that.) Researcher 00:31, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

<deflated> :( and I thought I was cool... hehe... ħuman 01:09, 29 September 2008 (EDT)

Some things are meant to be kept secret, you know. Nerd (talk) 02:55, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

I think we ought to do a little research into Operation Mockingbird and the like, to illustrate the level of information control they actually have. From my understanding they re ruined journalists mainly for information collection but also to run over propaganda during the Cold War. I think we ought to cross reference this with cultural support for anti-communist leftists via the CFF (cultural freedom foundation). I think more careful research into these topics might help us refute the arguments of tankies while also illuminating what they get right. The sheer level of penetration into these institutions should raise questions about the validity of historical accounts during that period. I'm not suggesting a wider conspiracy of historical distortion because as far as I know the CIA hasn't conducted any operations to influence historians, not to mention the difficulty in doing so considering the opening of soviet archives. Still, we need to evaluate how much of intellectual tual research today is influenced by the CIA. ^{— Unsigned, by: 76.121.93.158 / talk}

Question about three people from the CIA, DEA, and FBI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcQseZKA5QA

Where I first found the video:

http://www.realistnews.net/Thread-illuminati-exposed-3-agents-with-cia-fbi-and-dea-warn-america

Apparently it's about three agents: Dennis Dayle, Ralph, McGehee, and Wesley Swearingen. The description in the Youtube video claims their conversation predicted much as what has come to pass (this was recorded in 1997/1998). Basically, the main thing the description says is that the three main organizations are too badly run to protect from terroism, the Mainstream Media was unable to tell us this, and the Congress is too easily manipulated.

Isn't this, er, widely known? Dubya kinda proved it.--ReptoidKiller (talk) 15:41, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

I'm having trouble finding out more about these people. Or even what radio show they were on when recording this. Does anyone have an idea?--ReptoidKiller (talk) 17:20, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Is this true?
