Cold War 273 - Black Propaganda
Manage episode 447747931 series 3382624
The reasons the CIA got involved in Tibet are complicated. But they seem to have had nothing to do really with protecting the Dalai Lama or any sort of ideological belief in Tibetan independence. It had more to do with weakening China once it became a communist country. The covert goal of the United States National Security Council was to "Discredit the prestige and ideology of International Communism" by using "black" propaganda - manufactured lies about fabricated atrocities which were disseminated through credible sources.
