A truly rare find!
A short 15 minute interview from 1983 with Ex-CIA Field Case Officer and legendary whistleblower John R. Stockwell. There are a lot of these “ex-CIA” type “whistleblowers” infesting and infiltrating alt-media these days. But let me tell you this, John R. Stockwell was the real deal and one of the very first who gave up consistently legit info. So much so, that he's been sued by the CIA and threatened by the FBI for his consistent exposures of state-sponsored criminality.
In this clip Stockwell blows the lid right off of Operation Mockingbird and the accomplice U.S. news media. A must watch, with great info absolutely relevant to today’s media propaganda events. For those who don't know about or want to learn more about the CIA's Operation Mockingbird, you can read an excellent exposé by Carl Bernstein here:

"One of the principal functions of the CIA is to gather intelligence, run secret wars, disseminate propaganda to influence people’s minds and this is a major function of the CIA. When in contact with a journalist you will give him true stories and get information from him but you’ll also give him false stories. You buy his confidence and set him up, you also work on their human vulnerabilities to recruit them, make them your agent so you can control what they do". — John Stockwell
