MORE CIA &
MOSSAD
PROPAGANDA COMING
Mid-East Realities - MER -
www.MiddleEast.Org - Washington - 3/23/2004: The
CIA, and
also the Mossad, have a number of 'public' ways they can propagandize
and spin inside the U.S...in addition, of course, to all their covert
and secret methods. Now by law of course the CIA isn't
supposed to
operate in the USA. But there are ways around such laws as
all the
campaign finance twisters know oh so well. One of the
most tried and
true ways is to use co-opted and associated think-tanks and journalists
to help out with the increasingly important public relations and
information spin and planting tasks. Judith Miller of the New York Times and Judith
Kipper of the Council on Foreign
Relations are two journalistic
examples we've commented upon of late. In Washington there
is among others the Center for
Strategic and International Studies, which former CIA
Deputy Director Ray Cline helped set up way back in the 70s when it was
affiliated with
Georgetown University and ripe for the taking. Now the Hudson Institute,
long connected with both the CIA and Mossad, is
bringing a new 'Briefing Series' to New York and the in-crowd is
dutifully lining up like lemmings, or is the more fitting metaphor like
lambs going to slaughter. Here's the propaganda
release about the new propaganda series now getting underway in New
York City. And get this:
"The Hudson Briefing Series is considering expanding to other major US cities."
Hudson
Institute Launches
New York Briefing Series
NEW YORK, March 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The renowned Hudson Institute has
expanded its think tank to New York. Hudson, a valuable resource to policy
makers in Washington, has launched its subscription-only New York Hudson
Briefing Series. Because of the overwhelming demand to join, the series has
had to seek larger venues after its initial breakfast meeting with R. James
Woolsey, former Director of the CIA, at the Harvard Club last October.
The success of the series may have as much to do with Hudson's powerful
past and present prestigious associates, such as Marie-Josee Kravis, Secretary
Elliott Abrams, and Richard Perle, as with its prestigious roster of speakers,
which include Michael Oren, Henry Kissinger, Robert Kagan, and Bill Kristal,
who are scheduled for this spring.
This is a chance to ask the former European Director of the Mossad, Uzi
Arad, about Hizbollah's military buildup in Syria, Kissinger about Homeland
Security issues or Woolsey about America's relations with the Saudis and the
future of the Iraqi government.
The vision behind the Hudson Briefing Series belongs to Herb London,
President of the Hudson Institute and former New York Gubernatorial candidate.
After 9/11, London recognized the desire of educated New Yorkers to have more
hands-on access to quality foreign policy and security briefings. He is
hopeful that this new group of members will also bring fresh ideas to the
already dynamic Hudson. "It is in the best interests of our New York
audience, as well as the nation, to consider a serious examination of the
issues now facing the U.S.," London said.
It was the Hudson Institute, based in Indianapolis and with an office in
Washington D.C., that designed the Welfare Reform Project in Wisconsin for
then Governor Tommy Thompson. Hudson also wrote the constitution for most of
the Eastern European countries after the fall of communism. And it was Hudson
that set the stage for the Japanese economic take-off in the late 1960's with
the book, The Emergence of Japan as a Super State by Herman Kahn.
Current projects at Hudson include: Middle East Scenarios, the future of
Saudi Arabia, and counter-terrorism efforts by the CIA and FBI.
The Hudson Briefing Series is considering expanding to other major US
cities.
