"The CIA's hiring of Paramount Pictures' head of domestic and foreign censorship in the 1950s was shown to be productive... He was specifically responsible for cutting out scenes in which Americans were portrayed as "domineering, drunkard-like, promiscuous, violent, or aggressive." And cut out other scenes when Americans traveling abroad are portrayed as pro-imperialist or indifferent to other cultures. Roulasi's role was to ensure that left-leaning films like High Noon (1952) and Don Camillo's Little World (1952) would not receive praise from the film industry, and to report to the CIA on the political leanings of other film experts. ”
The above content is from the American scholar Tricia. Jenkins' CIA Inside Hollywood: How the CIA Shaped Film and Television, Chinese edition of the book, has been published by the Commercial Press.
Based on the information provided by the book and other documents, Ginger recounts to the reader how many government agencies in the United States have raised their public image by influencing Hollywood:
U.S. government agencies employ entertainment liaison officers throughout the year to raise their public profile in the mass media. For example, the FBI established an office in the 1930s to promote its profile on radio, film, and television programs such as The Iron Man (1935), FBI Stories (1959), and the FBI (1965-1974). The U.S. Department of Defense began to follow suit in 1947. Today, the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, Department of Homeland Security, and Secret Service all have film and television offices, or pay for official media assistants. Even the U.S. government's central department is working with Hollywood, as confirmed by the Hollywood, Health, and Society Program, which is partially funded by the CDC and the U.S. Department of Health to provide information on health-related storylines for the entertainment industry.
The CIA was a rising star in this regard, having set up basic entertainment programs in the early 1990s. Beginning in 1996, it hired Chase. Brandon served as its first entertainment industry liaison officer.
In James. In solowich's book The Wisdom of the Crowd, the author notes: "In 1947, the U.S. Congress passed the National Security Act, and the CIA was proclaimed. As historian Michael. As Warner emphasizes, the goal of the bill is to "realize the principles of command integration and intelligence integration." Internal divisions and divisional divisions make the United States highly vulnerable to surprise attacks, while centralization and integration can ensure america's future security. ”
The CIA is headquartered in Langley, Virginia, UNITED States. Its main task is to openly and secretly collect and analyze information on foreign governments, companies, terrorist organizations, individuals, politics, culture, science and technology, coordinate the activities of other domestic intelligence agencies, and report this information to the work of various branches of the United States Government.
It is also responsible for maintaining a large number of military equipment that was used during the Cold War to prepare for the overthrow of foreign governments, such as the Soviet Union, Abens in Guatemala, and Allende in Chile, who posed a threat to U.S. interests.
The CIA is divided into four main components: the Intelligence Service, the Management Service, the Operations Division, and the Science and Technology Division. Intelligence technicians are mostly highly educated or experts in certain fields. The organization, personnel, funding, and activities of the agency are kept strictly confidential, even by Congress.
At a forum held in the New York Herald Tribune in April 1964, Wilder W. Bill. Donovan gave a speech titled "Our Foreign Policy Needs the Cooperation of the CIA." During World War II, Donovan served as director of strategic intelligence, the service's leading U.S. wartime intelligence agency. After the war, he strongly called for the establishment of a more powerful peacetime Strategic Intelligence Agency, aimed at making the agency more influential.
Apparently, the CIA also found that entertainment programming could help it increase its influence.
The CIA has shaped many films and television productions that are familiar to the public. These include "Law Enforcement Officer" (1995-2005), "Enemy of the Nation" (1998), "Secret Agent Veyron" (1999), "CIA Storm" (2001-2003), "Double-Faced Female Spy" (2001-2006), "24 Hours" (2001-2010), "Temporary Agent" (2002), "Shocking Nuclear Network" (2002), "Spy Sea Plan" (2003), "Spy Fan Affair" and "Escape from Tehran".
CIA management has also met with the heads of film production companies and theater agents to influence their perception of the CIA more broadly. Its retired officials have also been named "Stalker" (1992), "Meet your Father-in-Law" (2000), "Cinel-Rin" (2005), "Secret Agent" (2006), "Counter-Terrorism Doubt" (2007), "Charlie Lopez" (2007). Several films, including War in Wales (2007), Agent Schoten (2010), and Red Flame Battlefield in 2010, have made "contributions".
In the book Listening to the World: The CIA in Action (published by Harbin Press), it is written: "The CIA will not only conduct covert operations in hostile countries, but also against friendly countries." In the C.I.A.'s view, few countries are completely friendly. Any country can become anti-American, or because of some of these factors. The CIA needs to stay on top of the dynamics of every country in the world and then conduct covert operations as appropriate. ”
