Episode 37

Peter B. Collins Presents Journalist Anand Gopal

Guillermo Jimenez Presents Philip Giraldi
On this edition of De-Manufacturing Consent Guillermo is joined by former CIA officer and Executive Director of the Council for the National Interest, Phil Giraldi. We discuss Giraldi’s latest article, “The Cognitive Dissonance of Spying,” and explore the post-9/11 “culture shift” within the CIA, the US government, and the country as a whole. As the “war on terror” rhetoric loses its effectiveness as a propaganda tool, neoconservatives in Washington position a “New Cold War” as the next “just cause” in the killing business.
