The hosts discuss the history of intelligence agency influence on the American media, referencing the 1975 Church Commission. They argue that the practice of the CIA placing stories in major news networks and newspapers never truly ended. This historical context is used to explain the current state of "indoctrination" and propaganda in modern news coverage.

A theory circulating in WikiLeaks documents suggests Hillary Clinton was involved in a serious plane crash in December 2012, rather than a simple fall. The hosts discuss why mainstream media outlets avoid reporting on WikiLeaks data and mention that government employees are often legally barred from accessing the leaked materials, even if they are publicly available.

A massive national inquiry in Australia, known as a Royal Commission, is investigating widespread child sexual abuse in churches, sports clubs, and orphanages.

### CIA vs NSA Rivalry, Church Commission, Media Manipulation

- **Published:** 2013-07-04

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/527-odious-selfies/chapter/cia-vs-nsa-rivalry-church-commission-media-manipulation.md

A theory is proposed that the CIA is leaking information to sabotage the NSA and its director, Keith Alexander, due to inter-agency jealousy over funding and power. The hosts reference the Church Commission to remind listeners of the long history of intelligence infiltration in the media. They suggest that the entire "privacy debate" is a distraction from the underlying power struggle between these agencies.

A massive Royal Commission in Australia is investigating institutional child sex abuse, with estimates of up to 100,000 potential victims. The hosts discuss how the investigation has expanded beyond the Catholic Church to include sports clubs, schools, and detention centers. They compare the situation to the Penn State scandal and suggest that "elites" in various institutions protect each other.

### Operation Mockingbird, CIA Media Infiltration

- **Episode:** [492: Pet Food Stamps](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/492-pet-food-stamps.md)
- **Published:** 2013-03-03

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/492-pet-food-stamps/chapter/operation-mockingbird-cia-media-infiltration.md

The hosts reinvigorate the term "Mockingbird" to describe CIA infiltration of the American media. They play a classic clip from the Church Commission hearings where CIA officials refuse to disclose the extent of their payroll within major television networks. The segment links media control to the broader influence of the Federal Reserve and global banking families.
