22:39Now Playing🎙️They do not need to kick down your door to influence culture. They only need access to scripts, funding pipelines and credibility gates. During the Cold War, the United States openly invested in cultural influence through art, publishing and media to compete with the Soviet Union. Programs tied to the Congress for Cultural Freedom promoted abstract expressionism and Western cultural prestige. The CIA later became involved in film projects such as the 1954 animated Animal Farm, which historians confirm was altered to strengthen anti Soviet messaging. Over time the strategy shifted from funding entire productions to shaping content indirectly through consultation and access. The Pentagon still reviews scripts for productions seeking military support, while intelligence agencies focus on relationships and image management. After 9 11, intelligence themed entertainment expanded rapidly to rebuild public trust and legitimacy. Some claims about deeper manipulation remain debated, but the broader pattern is clear. Governments treat culture as strategic infrastructure. Understanding this history helps citizens recognize influence, question narratives and protect independent thought.
