Here's an interesting background briefing on the founder of the Daily Cheeto.
Moulitsas has elsewhere told the story of how he went all the way through the process of becoming a clandestine CIA operative, only to balk at the last moment because he did not want to be stationed for six years in DC. (Is DC service really mandatory for new hires?) Moulitsas says that he decided to forgo spying in order to join the Dean campaign.
Trouble is, his story makes no sense from a chronological standpoint. The above video illustrates the point.
I've no problem with someone like Larry Johnson, who is open about his history. But Kos -- the Libertarian "progressive" who has commandeered the Democratic party -- makes me wonder.
The CIA is prohibited from operating domestically. Anyone offered a stateside psyop assignment would naturally go through the training course, and then, at the last moment, refrain from signing official employment papers. This is exactly what Moulitsas did.If you read enough books about American spies, you get the impression that the real problems are caused by the fellows who remain technically non-employed by the Agency. Remember when Ed Wilson "quit"the CIA in 1976? Remember Ronald Stark? Ed Hunter? "Gordo"? You may also want to check out the folks mentioned here. Some of you may have heard about this fella named Oswald...
If you want to focus on CIA agents posing as journalists, start with Carl Bernstein's classic piece here. After that, you may want to talk to a newsman named Christopher Wren, who may have further information on the topic.
(For a British example of the same process, scroll down to read my comments about one George Markstein...)
Now we know the color of sheep dip: Orange.

Thanks for getting this out there. It not only needs to be said, it needs to be hammered into some thick skulls. Do it for the children!

Not to mention all the Markos wannabes out there. Not that there's anything suspicious about a former Log Cabin Reublican Senate staffer to Ted Stevens running a "progressive" blog, or anything.
Just a random musing here ... did you know that Tarpon Springs is known as Florida's Little Greece?
Please allow me to toss in a few (of what to me are) hints toward the truth of the broader type of "social engineering" operation, of which Kos may or may not be a part, here:
Lord Bertrand Russell, one of the honorary chairmen of the Sexual Congress for Cultural Fascism [formally termed The Congress for Cultural Freedom], spilled the beans on the network's efforts in mass social engineering in his 1951 book, The Impact of Science on Society. Russell had been working on the idea for decades. From his 1931 book, The Scientific Outlook — a Utopian totalitarian manual:
“In like manner, the scientific rulers will provide one kind of education for ordinary men and women, and another for those who are to become holders of scientific power. Ordinary men and women will be expected to be docile, industrious, punctual, thoughtless, and contented. Of these qualities, probably contentment will be considered the most important. In order to produce it, all the researches of psycho-analysis, behaviourism, and biochemistry will be brought into play.... All the boys and girls will learn from an early age to be what is called 'co-operative,' i.e., to do exactly what everybody is doing. Initiative will be discouraged in these children, and insubordination, without being punished, will be scientifically trained out of them.
Russell issued a strong warning:
“On those rare occasions, when a boy or girl who has passed the age at which it is usual to determine social status shows such marked ability as to seem the intellectual equal of the rulers, a difficult situation will arise, requiring serious consideration. If the youth is content to abandon his previous associates and to throw in his lot whole-heartedly with the rulers, he may, after suitable tests, be promoted, but if he shows any regrettable solidarity with his previous associates, the rulers will reluctantly conclude that there is nothing to be done with him except to send him to the lethal chamber before his ill-disciplined intelligence has had time to spread revolt. This will be a painful duty to the rulers, but I think they will not shrink from performing it.”
Jumping ahead some years to well researched examples of social engineering in practice...
The American Family Foundation (AFF), founded 1979, is financed by the same Anglo-American financial elite. Each of AFF's sponsoring foundations has a long history in dirty Anglo-American intelligence operations.
In reality, the AFF's business is mind-control. At least three of its experts did not merely study mind-control—they practiced coercive conditioning in horrific secret experiments funded by the CIA's and Army intelligence's MK-Ultra.
As the Iran/Contra affair showed in the 1980s, the financier establishment never abandoned its commitment to private intelligence operations. The AFF is just one such private operation, some of which are collecting dossiers on,and profiling, Americans and groups, and now operating under several different identities and websites. (Try MySpace and Facebook and Microsoft.)
Theories of psychological coercion, and cult activities ...
John Foster Berlet, so named by his father because of the latter's admiration for John Foster Dulles, was exposed earlier in his career, as working for the CIA at the National Student Association and WIN magazine. He later became a part of a group called together by a rich and influential trusted CCF hand and former OSS operative.
Who, in his New York chambers, convened a salon of journalists, private foundations, and U.S. government national security officials for the purpose of creating and executing a sustained and massive media assault upon a perceived threat to their operations. A massive black propaganda barrage ensued from these meetings.
Such operations are well financed and have a very long history, extending back through the days of the early American colonies.
Exposing them to the light of day is necessarily an uphill grind, and rarely well-financed.
