    Initiate in the near-term the declassification of historical materials on specific events, particularly those which are repeatedly the subject of false allegations, such as the 1948 Italian Elections, 1953 Iranian Coup, 1954 Guatemalan Coup...

    Wtf is this shit :gulag:

    PAO now has relationships with reporters fro every major wire service, newspaper, news weekly, and television network in the nation. THis has helped us turn some "intelligence failure" stories into "intelligence success" stories, and it has contributed to the accuracy of countless others...

    What happened to the "free press"?

    In many instances, we have persuaded reporters to postpone, change, hold, or even scrap stories...

    :what-the-hell:

        Yea i don't get it either. These people actively cause harm around the world and somehow are denying their actions. Like what is the end game here?

          It's a limited hangout, usually. When it's clear to everyone they're involved, they admit part of it so they can deny the rest. Then later on it gets revealed they did all of it, but libs say "that was a long time ago, they've changed". Rinse, repeat.

      repeatedly the subject of false allegations, such as the 1948 Italian Elections, 1953 Iranian Coup, 1954 Guatemalan Coup

      ...is it not proven fact that they did all three of those?

        So even in their declassified docs they are lying

      I can tell they have had people inside reuters and AP for the past few years. The reporting has changed dramatically.

        Pretty sure AP and Reuters have been stuffed with intelligence agents for a long time. It's a matter of public record for Reuters at least.
