That’s especially true in the realm of what used to be called “propaganda”
and can now simply be called information. The CIA worked hard in the old days to
draw foreign newspapers and magazines into its web, so as to counter Soviet disin-
formation. Frank Wisner, the head of CIA covert operations during the mid-1950s,
once remarked that he could play his media assets like a “mighty Wurlitzer.” // Today
the mighty Wurlitzer actually exists. It’s called CNN. But it doesn’t need playing by
anybody but the independent journalists who work there. CNN’s objective, omni-
present, real-time coverage of the news helps America’s interests more than all the
besotted Third World “media assets” of old could ever have imagined.

these groups would have been the kiss of death, if discovered. Overt funding, it
would seem, has been a kiss of life.

“South Asia Students For Liberty’s Local Coordinator Program takes the best
and the brightest pro-liberty students from across South Asia and gives them train-
ing, resources, a network, and other tools with which they can effectively organize
and make an impact in their universities, cities and regions. Among other under-
takings, they organize events, help start and grow student groups, seek out other
potential leaders for liberty with the resources we provide. We do not, however, in-
struct Local Coordinators what to do to spread the ideas of liberty, but rather provide
training and a framework and rely on Local Coordinators for local knowledge about
what works best in a certain region.”

The Local Coordinators (LCs) go through 4 weeks of Academic Training in
the ideas of liberty followed by 4 weeks of Leadership Training to allow the LCs to
realise their potential as leaders.

Another and more widely known EPL alum is Kim Kataguiri, a 19-year-old
libertarian who is one of the leaders of the Free Brazil Movement calling for the
impeachment of the president. After the ruling Labour Party and President Dilma
Roussef became 8 embroiled in multiple corruption scandals, Kim took to the streets
in protest. Over the past year, the Free Brazil Movement has grown dramatically to
include protests by millions of individuals, massive mainstream media attention,
and strong political support for the impeachment of the president. For all his work
