Quote:We are told that the CIA's funding of Modern Art, art critics, academics, and "leftist" journals was first reported by Ramparts magazine in March 1967. Ramparts first blew the cover of Encounter magazine and then the links were picked up by the mainstream press, especially the New York Times and the Washington Post. The Times and the Post then followed up strongly for more than a year. That is your first red flag. We later learned from the Senate Church Committee hearings [1975] that both newspapers were favorite hangouts of Intelligence...

Quote:More evidence can be gleaned by taking a quick survey of Ramparts' writers in 1967. Sol Stern* wrote the exposé on the CIA and NSA, and curiously Stern was only a "radical" for a couple of years. He quit Ramparts in 1968 and soon became a conservative. Eventually he drifted to the Manhattan Institute and became a senior fellow there. The Manhattan Institute was founded by Bill Casey, CIA director from 1981 to 1987. Interesting, no?...

Yes, Chomsky was another writer for Ramparts. I was a longtime fan of Chomsky until I finally saw through him. It took 911 to pull that curtain back. Studying his misdirection on 911 (and on the Kennedy assassination), I was led to re-read the older books I loved, like Manufacturing Consent. I encourage you to re-read it with this in mind: notice who he points the finger at as the manufacturer of consent. He says it is the media. Hmmm. Strange, don't you think, that Chomsky never mentions the CIA, or those behind the CIA? It is the fault of the media? They are the top of the food chain? Once that has penetrated your skull, search on his other comments about the CIA. He is always diverting your attention away from them.
