This whole 7 part series is really an eye opener. Most people have heard about Allende/Pinochet, and Regan's illegal war in Nicaragua, but I don't think that many people in the US have heard about this. I certainly hadn't. This series is excellent, especially in the many references to decassified documents. Agencies denying operations for decades, only to have those operations confirmed after declassification is a repeating pattern. Seeing how powerful this media based campaign was in the 1950s also sheds some perspective on how overwhelmingly powerful modern fake-video can be in persuading a population. All rolled up, this really spells a very hard road ahead for democratic government. How are ordinary people supposed to pull back the deception and understandd the truth, in the face of highly-funded media campaigns to deceive them? It becomes less and less possible with every new technical development.
