It's important to emphasize the CIA was funding publications targeting the American mind. National Review, Time, and US News and other publications were taking in tax payer dollars (through shell companies) with orders to promote a certain world view. The CIA was also funding art movements. Look into Jackson Pollock and the Congress for Cultural Freedom.
