One has been confirmed while the other remains elusive (if real at all). Project Mockingbird PROJECT Mockingbird was a wiretapping operation initiated by President John F. Kennedy to identify the sources of government leaks by eavesdropping on the communications of journalists. This is the program mentioned in the CIA records below, and The Black Vault also added records from the Gerald Ford Presidential Library on the same. Operation Mockingbird OPERATION Mockingbird was a alleged secret campaign by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to influence media. Begun in the 1950s, it was said to be initially organized by Cord Meyer and Allen W. Dulles, it was later led by Frank Wisner after Dulles became the head of the CIA. The organization recruited leading American journalists into a network to help present the CIA’s views, and funded some student and cultural organizations, and magazines as fronts. As it developed, it also worked to influence foreign media and political campaigns, in addition to activities by other operating units of the CIA.

However, I believe now not everything was given to me, likely due to the description of records seeking OPERATION Mockingbird vs. PROJECT Mockingbird records. A frustrating aspect to the FOIA, which although I can not confirm that’s what happened – I filed again in December of 2020, and received additional records on PROJECT Mockingbird.
