Operation Mockingbird

A covert campaign run by the CIA to influence the media.

Starting in the early days of the Cold War (late 40's), the CIA began a secret project called Operation Mockingbird, with the intent of buying influence behind the scenes at major media outlets and putting reporters on the CIA payroll, which has proven to be a stunning ongoing success. The CIA effort to recruit American news organizations and journalists to become spies and disseminators of propaganda, was headed up by Frank Wisner, Allen Dulles, Richard Helms, and Philip Graham (publisher of The Washington Post). Wisner had taken Graham under his wing to direct the program code-named Operation Mockingbird and both have presumably committed suicide.

Opeth

What you get when you take folk, prog, and death metal and mix in a blender of musical talent. When you listen to this music, the chills that go up your spine are astounding. Imagine standing on a windswept moor in the middle of nowhere, walking anyplace. The kind of desolate longing and anticipated dread that this style of scene conjures up is the essence of Opeth.
