Was in a debate with a friend, and came up with the following summary. What do you think?
Fact: The CIA has spent $billions manipulating public opinion in foreign lands as part of their color revolution and regime change operations.
Fact: The CIA works hand in glove with the entrenched foreign policy establishment in DC (a group of organizations termed by Mike Benz as "The Blob")
Opinion 1: It would be naive to think that the expertise and methods developed by CIA in manipulating public opinion is not being deployed domestically.
Opinion 2: Having observed how huge swaths of the legacy media simultaneously roll out nearly identical narratives (Wuhan Lab source a conspiracy theory, Biden laptop is Russian disinformation, JD Vance is weird), I believe The Blob has a huge influence on legacy media reporting.
