Who Does the Central Intelligence Agency Recruit?

Allan Francovich (1941 - April 24, 1997) was an American film producer and director who made a series of films exposing Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) covert operations.

Under Frank Wisner and the Office of Policy Coordination, Operation Mockingbird was set up to put anticommunist messages into US news media. Wisner recruited Philip Graham, publisher of the Washington Post, to run the news aspects of the operation. Columbia Broadcasting System began co-operating with the CIA. "To understand the role of most journalist‑operatives, it is necessary to dismiss some myths about undercover work for American intelligence services. Few American agents are spies in the popularly accepted sense of the term. Spying — the acquisition of secrets from a foreign government—is almost always done by foreign nationals who have been recruited by the CIA and are under CIA control in their own countries. Thus the primary role of an American working undercover abroad is often to aid in the recruitment and handling of foreign nationals who are channels of secret information reaching American intelligence.

"Many journalists were used by the CIA to assist in this process and they had the reputation of being among the best in the business. The peculiar nature of the job of the foreign correspondent is ideal for such work: he is accorded unusual access by his host country, permitted to travel in areas often off‑limits to other Americans, spends much of his time cultivating sources in governments, academic institutions, the military establishment and the scientific communities. He has the opportunity to form long‑term personal relationships with sources and—perhaps more than any other category of American operative—is in a position to make correct judgments about the susceptibility and availability of foreign nationals for recruitment as spies." Formal recruitment of reporters was generally handled at high levels—after the journalist had undergone a thorough background check. The actual approach might even be made by a deputy director or division chief. On some occasions, no discussion would he entered into until the journalist had signed a pledge of secrecy.

The secrecy agreement was the sort of ritual that got you into the tabernacle, said a former assistant to the Director of Central Intelligence. After that you had to play by the rules. David Attlee Phillips, former Western Hemisphere chief of clandestine services and a former journalist himself, estimated in an interview that at least 200 journalists signed secrecy agreements or employment contracts with the Agency in the past twenty‑five years. Phillips, who owned a small English‑language newspaper in Santiago, Chile, when he was recruited by the CIA in 1950, described the approach: Somebody from the Agency says, I want you to help me. 1 know you are a true‑blue American, but I want you to sign a piece of paper before I tell you what its about. I didnt hesitate to sign, and a lot of newsmen didnt hesitate over the next twenty years.

impressive mustache's gentlemen.

[ajmidget94]

a study was put out that said 1/4 of Americans believe that 9/11 was an inside job. when people say "conspiracy theories are retarded!" others will reply "do you really think 1/4 of america is retarded?"

i've said it before and i'll say it again. YES, that is exactly what i think. 1/4 of america is RETARDED. the comments below are living proof.

[ajmidget94]

@247FreedomOps i never said anything like that at all. i said everyone, all 25% of americans who believe 9/11 was a conspiracy, are mentally handicapped. thats it.

[247FreedomOps]

@ajmidget94 - What you are saying is that there is an even bigger conspiracy out there than subversion tactics, which are historically identifiable, that has the intent to convince 1/4 that conspiracies does happen and are the explanation for the downward spiral we see around the world. What would be the point of that? I think you got it backwards and look what that makes you. LOL!

[normalguyable]

cia are murdering  cowards.

[lmollot]

cia needs torturers- cia recruits science majors who JUSTIFY their torture of animals'for science advancement"- this actually is training future torturers -bc they are willing- other students who refuse animal testing dont get recruited- high paying jobs get these science students will to torture on monkeys then chimpanzees the HUMAN CHILDREN/BABIES- SO they re already proven to be cold blooded trained torturer/murderer -so having passed these school "testing" 4 who are the torturers-get hired

@BCTELEVISION Well it is "conspiracy", of course it is not some secret thing, it is practically all out in the open, the information is there for people to find it is just that people are stupid and would prefer to live in denial.

[dustylefou]

@Omau2012 All correct except that the mission is to covertly influence global policy for the sake of national interests...DoHS, FBI and others are primarily concerned with the home front.

[BCTELEVISION]

The CIA is big corporate security - They are not here to protect Americans - Conspiracy? lol, there's no conspiracy - It's all obvious if you wake up and do the research. How much more proof is needed? I bet you think the federal reserve is government controlled, too. Maybe the masses should be called SLEEP WALKING SHEEP... Now go watch ALIENS ON CRACK and have another beer... And don't forget to use those credit cards!

@UnitedPebbles

Aah, yes.. Those unsung heroes of United Fruit and affiliated int´l services..

..but 9/11 surely changed the World.

By witholding relevant intel on the plotters when beyond the borders -and pickling it on 4th amendment as they realized it had been crossed,

(Combined with a remarkable lack of toplevel resonance) -NSA conveniently aquired the authorization to now bypass every Civil Right known to Mankind, when guarding frontiers, etc..

-but at least it can´t be blamed on the FBI:)
