Eric Hunley and Mark Groubert present America’s Untold Stories where they explore cultural figures and history that is often under-appreciated or overlooked. Check out all three CIA episodes — CIA In Hollywood; CIA In News; and Family of CIA.
The Central Intelligence Agency has been in bed with Hollywood for decades. Between 2006 and 2011, the CIA’s Office of Public Affairs (OPA) was involved in at least 22 of the U.S. entertainment industry’s projects. Some of the productions included the films Argo and Zero Dark Thirty and television shows like Top Chef and Covert Affairs. They spend extra time on “The Recruit” which was written originally by Mark.
Operation Mockingbird, the Cold War CIA program to infiltrate the American media is supposedly long gone. But is it really?
The CIA loves legacy and believes in family for recruitment. How and why do so many offspring and relatives of the members of the intelligence community end up in show business, sports, the political world and the arts? What are they doing? What is their agenda? Follow the trail of a few familial links to the intelligence community. The explosive stuff on Barack Hussein Obama and his “family” is dynamite!
