CIA Films at the National Archives

<a href="http://www.thememoryhole.org/" target="top">www.thememoryhole.org/</a> The following material has been added: CIA Films at the National Archives A huge list of several thousand films that the CIA has sent to the Archives. "Ear Wiretapping -- Bugging Devices." "How Free Should the Press Be?" "Interrogation Techniques." "Investigation of US Bacteriological Warfare." "Unidentified Flying Objects." Introduction After a certain number of years, the CIA, like many other agencies, turns over its films and other documents to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The lengthy list of CIA films at the Archives has never been publicly released, but researcher Michael Ravnitzky requested and received a copy from NARA. It's posted in two formats at the link above (the plain text version looks better online). Many of the films were created by the CIA, and some - such as news reports and the occasional Hollywood movie - were not. Unfortunately, there's no indication of authorship in the list, though you can sometimes tell by the title. You can request a copy of any of the films under the Freedom of Information Act. Send requests to National Archives and Records Administration Ramona Oliver, FOIA Officer Office of the General Counsel Room 3110 8601 Adelphi Road College Park, MD 20740-6001 More info on making a FOIA request to NARA is here. Any request should mention the Record Group (RG), the Series, Item, etc. (all the descriptors listed for that film in the spreadsheet ). Here are the fields: In addition, requesters should be aware that they might be able to view the films at NARA at no cost, but to obtain a video copy the first requester for any particular film will likely have to pay for the creation of a video master, and then a dub from that master.

Thanks for that Seems. Interesting. What's up with this? "Study of Sun's Corona"

I would think that the 'sun spots' story could be used as cover for communications sabotage and other technical hijinks. Or to create a fictional sabotage story. Either way. Example: Wayne Madsen was reporting that military scrambling of communications by US ships in the Gulf was happening during Kamp Katrina as part of an opportunistic FEMA martial law quarantine excercise. At the same time, Mockingbird press were reporting heavy sunspot interference with communications. Both could be true. "How free should the press be?" ech. This is the biggest story few are covering or dialing into their analysis of the stories they read.

"Animal Farm" - the 1954 British animation feature based on Orwell's novel - was paid for by the CIA (who by most accounts insisted on the ending change). They picked up the rights to the book after Orwell's death. I'd imagine that this entry - if not the film itself - is about that. (Of course, it could also be about the infamous beastiality picture of the same name, pehaps shown to "special" guests at Langley.) Oh, to have the time and the resources to go through all this lot. You know the media sure as hell won't. Bring on the day when NARA puts everything online.
