Former Congresswoman Gabbard Warns of Ongoing Media Manipulation Targeting Americans

Media manipulation tactics reminiscent of Operation Mockingbird are reportedly still active within the United States, targeting the American populace through modern channels. According to U.S. intelligence official Tulsi Gabbard, prominent news outlets, including those owned by corporate giants like BlackRock—affiliates of the World Economic Forum—are being used to sway public opinion and undermine political figures such as President Donald Trump. Gabbard emphasized that elements within the intelligence community believe their priorities surpass the will of the American people and are leveraging leaks and media collusion to influence national affairs. Historically, Operation Mockingbird was a covert CIA initiative during the Cold War to embed propaganda within domestic and foreign media, a practice that was publicly exposed in the 1970s. Currently, Gabbard asserts that similar strategies are employed through digital, algorithm-driven, and taxpayer-funded means, posing a threat to constitutional principles and democratic governance.
