The CIA’s attempt under cyberspace to launder its record of torture and coups.
The CIA has launched a cyber-attempt to launder its record of torture, coup plotting and covert operations.
In a report, the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) described the CIA’s efforts in cyberspace to create a better image of the organization in public opinion as the “most non-secret” operation of the organization, according to the International Group of News News.
Politico writes that one of the offices of the CIA headquarters in Langley is the workplace of a group of about 12 people who are probably carrying out the CIA’s most public mission: to make the organization popular in cyberspace with American citizens.
Politico writes that the main US intelligence agency, which joined Facebook and Twitter in 2014, has slowly increased its presence on social media, creating one of the most controversial, creative and bizarre federal government propaganda operations.
Politico says the CIA’s purpose in attending is to show the organization a “softer face” to the public. “There are people who do not understand that we are on a softer side, so we are targeting the entire American people,” Candice Bryant, the 37-year-old CIA director, told Politico.
Politico went on to point out some reactions to the CIA’s move, with a group of liberals saying the move was part of the CIA’s efforts to present whitewashed figures from the CIA record. Some have said that this strategy of the CIA in cyberspace has presented a weak organizational image of it.
“One of the reasons we’re in cyberspace is that if we don’t talk about ourselves, others will talk about us and there will be a vacuum,” said Sarah Leicherman, a CIA spokeswoman. “So we need to come and tell our story.”
Politico writes that the CIA’s cyberspace content does not mention the organization’s history of torture through artificial drowning, drone strikes, intelligence breaches in weapons of mass destruction, failed coups and successful coups.
