90: Micro Mockingbird

Operation Mockingbird, Smith-Mundt Act and Twitter Files

The history of Operation Mockingbird, a CIA program to recruit journalists, is detailed. The hosts discuss the 2012 repeal of the Smith-Mundt Act under Barack Obama, which they claim allowed the U.S. government to legally use propaganda on American citizens. They characterize the "Twitter Files" reported by Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss as "Micro-Mockingbird," suggesting the information is still being filtered and redacted by intelligence-linked lawyers.

Neely Fuller Jr. on the System of White Supremacy

Neely Fuller Jr. explains his scientific approach to defining white supremacy as a functional system rather than a collection of personal feelings. He notes that the term often causes discomfort among white individuals because it identifies a power structure they may benefit from but do not control. The hosts link this systemic control to the "Twitter Files" and the marginalization of dissenting voices by major tech platforms like Google.
