Who controls > the Washington Post, and whom are they allied with? Newsweek was a Rockefellar co-founded company (see below), purchased in 1961 by Philip Graham, publisher of the Washington Post. The book 'Katherine the Great' describes Philip Graham as a "liberal anti- Communist who supported the search for traitors in the US government". Notice that Brian Redman's article seems to portray Newsweek as reporting "everyone else was trading with the Nazis, too" (Newsweek's attempt to deflect attention from Newsweek). - - - - - - - excerpt from: Katherine the Great - Katherine Graham and the Washington Post by Deborah Davis, (c) 1979, 1987 Appendix: The CIA's Propaganda Campaign Against Julius and Ethel Rosenberg: Justice Department documents made available through the Freedom of Information Act reveal that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were the subjects of a massive overseas propaganda campaign in 1952 and 1953, and the Washington Post executive editor Benjamin Bradlee was a central figure in that campaign when he worked as a press attache at the American embassy in Paris. This covert struggle, conducted under authority of the Marshall Plan and managed by the CIA and embassy officials, was meant to help secure America's moral and strategic foothold in post-war Europe. The European Communists, who had given heavily to the resistance and who were now struggling for political leadership, were saying that the Rosenberg case was evidence of an American "fascism." The American propagandists tried to counter that claim by holding out the Rosenbergs as proof that Communists could not be trusted to be loyal to their own governments. [...] The Rosenbergs were electrocuted in June 1953, and by the end of the year Benjamin Bradlee had left the embassy and returned to journalism, as chief European correspondent for Newsweek. ... at Newsweek's Washington bureau, he helped Philip Graham to buy the magazine in 1961. Four years later, some months after Graham had committed suicide, his widow, the new publisher of the Washington Post, hired Bradlee to be executive editor of her newspaper. - - - - - - Here's some of Newsweek's historical background: THE PURCHASE OF PUBLIC OPINION In the following years [after 1914], not only newsmen, but whole newspapers were bought, financed or founded with Rockefeller money. So Time Magazine, which Henry Luce started in 1923, had been taken over by J.P. Morgan when the magazine got into financial difficulties. When Morgan died and his financial empire crumbled, the House of Rockefeller wasted no time in taking over this lush editorial plum also, together with its sisters Fortune and Life .... Rockefeller was also co-owner of Time's "rival" magazine, Newsweek, which had been established in the early days of the New Deal with money put up by Rockefeller, Vincent Astor, the Harrimann family and other members and allies of the House [of Rockefeller]. -- from: The Drug Story, by Hans Ruesch Taken from the CIVIS Foundation Report number 15, Fall-Winter 1993 CIVIS: POB 152, Via Motta 51-CH 6900, Massagno/Lugano, Switzerland .
