How the FBI secretly shapes movies and TV shows about Bureau
ByJerry Oppenheimer
July 1, 2023
When the FBI’s first director, J. Edgar Hoover, saw that a new film from Paramount Pictures was going to be called “Federal Dick,” he was apoplectic.
These days, the FBI is more subtle, quietly working behind the scenes to offer advice to keep movies and TV on the straight and narrow.
Enter Anne Beagan.
For a decade Special Agent Beagan held the little-known title, “Entertainment Industry Liaison,” perpetuating Hoover’s tradition of making certain the Bureau was portrayed accurately, and looked good on screen.

Branding Hoover's FBI: How the Boss's PR Men Sold the Bureau to America
Minnesota State University, Mankato

Description
Hunting down America’s public enemies was just one of the FBI’s jobs. Another—perhaps more vital and certainly more covert—was the job of promoting the importance and power of the FBI, a process that Matthew Cecil unfolds clearly for the first time in this eye-opening book. The story of the PR men who fashioned the Hoover era, Branding Hoover’s FBI reveals precisely how the Bureau became a monolithic organization of thousands of agents who lived and breathed a well-crafted public relations message, image, and worldview. Accordingly, the book shows how the public was persuaded—some would say conned—into buying and even bolstering that image.
Just fifteen years after a theater impresario coined the term “public relations,” the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover began practicing a sophisticated version of the activity. Cecil introduces those agency PR men in Washington who put their singular talents to work by enforcing and amplifying Hoover's message. Louis B. Nichols, overseer of the Crime Records Section for more than twenty years, was a master of bend-your-ear networking. Milton A. Jones brought meticulous analysis to bear on the mission; Fern Stukenbroeker, a gift for eloquence; and Cartha “Deke” DeLoach, a singular charm and ambition. Branding Hoover’s FBI examines key moments when this dedicated cadre, all working under the protective wing of Associate Director Clyde Tolson, manipulated public perceptions of the Bureau (was the Dillinger triumph really what it seemed?). In these critical moments, the book allows us to understand as never before how America came to see the FBI’s law enforcement successes and overlook the dubious accomplishments, such as domestic surveillance, that truly defined the Hoover era.
The Latest From JFK Facts
Late on a Friday Night, Biden Guts the JFK Records Act
Mary Ferrell Foundation challenges president's order in federal court.
JEFFERSON MORLEY
JUL 1 2023
Vice President Joe BIden speaks at the 50th anniversary of JFK’s inauguration in 2011.
On June 30 President Biden issued an executive order asserting the 1992 JFK Assassination Records Act is no longer in effect.
“With my final certification made in this memorandum -– the last required under the Act – and definitive plans for future disclosures, my Administration is fulfilling the promise of transparency to the American people,” Biden declared, while acquiescing to demands of national security agencies that portions of thousands of assassination-related documents remain out of public view.
“On May 1, 2023, the Acting Archivist informed me that the review process was complete,” Biden stated, "and recommended that I postpone the public release of certain redacted information in the records certified for temporary postponement of public release in the December 2022 Memorandum.”
Biden’s order spurns the recommendation of Judge John Tunheim, former chair of the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB), who urged the president to implement full disclosure of all JFK files without exception.
Friday Night Lights Out
In a statement released late on Friday before a holiday weekend, a White House spokeswoman claimed “over 99 percent of the records in the [JFK assassination] collection are now publicly available at the National Archives,” without mentioning that “temporary postponement” means that several thousand assassination-related record remain fully or partially classified indefinitely. They include records on:
• JFK’s plans for reorganizing the CIA,
• Significant portions of Operation Northwoods, the Pentagon’s false-flag operation to stage violent crimes in the United States and blame them on Cuba.
A CIA psychological warfare program involving Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin who denied killing the president.
Biden, who voted for the JFK Records Act in 1992, accepted the intelligence community’s claim that disclosure of these forty, fifty, and sixty year old documents will harm the United States in 2023. He stated:
“continued postponement of public disclosure of that information is necessary to protect against identifiable harms to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, and the conduct of foreign relations that are of such gravity that they outweigh the public interest in disclosure.”
Under the president’s order all decisions about the “future release of the information in these records shall occur in a manner consistent with the Transparency Plans described in section 5 of this memorandum.”
The Transparency Plan, written by the CIA, establishes the criteria for the National Security Agency to use in withholding sensitive material. Chad Nagle of the American Conservative has described the Transparency Plan as “sinister,” arguing it will actually keep thousands of assassination records secret for far longer than Congress intended.
Biden’s order turns over responsibility for JFK files to the National Declassification Center, an executive branch agency responsible for “public release of historically valuable permanent records while maintaining national security.” The president directed the NDC to
use the Transparency Plans to conduct future reviews of any information covered by the Act that has been postponed from public disclosure. The Transparency Plans will ensure that the public will have access to the maximum amount of information while continuing to protect against identifiable harms to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, and the conduct of foreign relations under the standards of the Act.”
The “identifiable harms” of releasing these ancient documents offered by the CIA and other agencies involve broad claims of national security that have been historically overstated or abused to justify unwarranted secrecy.
Lawsuit Challenges Biden
Bill SImpich, attorney for Mary Ferrell Foundation.
The Mary Farrell Foundation, which sued the president and National Archives last fall for failure to enforce the JFK Records Act, will be in federal court on July 13 seeking an injunction to block the Biden order.
The foundation’s attorneys, Bill Simpich and Larry Schnapf, have asserted in court filings that the Transparency Plans and the President’s prior executive order fail to comply with the JFK Records Act.
On June 8, the foundation filed a motion for injunctive relief seeking an order to declare the Transparency Plans as void and null, and to enjoin the president’s order.
The foundation has also asked the court to order the National Archives to complete the search of additional assassination records that were outstanding at the time the ARRB ceased operations in September 1998.

FBI Turning to Social Media to Track Traitors

Senate report dings FBI, DHS for not heeding warnings about Jan. 6
Investigation finds agencies did not sound the alarm for other law enforcement agencies
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is holding up a major aviation bill unless it includes her proposal to require less training for airline pilots.
Sen. Tammy Duckworth, an ex-pilot, says Sinema will have ‘blood on her hands’ if her amendment passes.
Sign now: Tell the Senate not to make flying less safe! Reject the Sinema-Thune amendment to the FAA reauthorization bill!
SIGN NOW
Why would anyone argue for less training for pilots? To find out, we followed the money.
When airlines got bailed out by taxpayers early in the pandemic, they agreed not to fire pilots and other staff. But the airlines found a loophole and offered pilots buyouts instead, creating a wave of resignations that allowed them to shed staff while keeping their bailout.
Now, air travel demand is surging and the buyouts left airlines without enough pilots.
Instead of rehiring the pilots that took buyouts, airlines want to dramatically lower training standards for new pilots (which will also help them keep pilots’ wages lower).
In a scathing statement, the Air Line Pilots Association says it’s “unequivocally” opposed to the changes, which would add “unacceptable risk” for passengers and crew. “It was under this type of scenario pre-2010 that airline accidents were rampant,” the pilots said.
Sinema is not heeding the pilots’ concerns, maybe because she’s raised over $150,000 from the airline industry over the past two election cycles, with industry trade groups in particular being major contributors.
The bill Sinema is blocking would not only improve aviation safety, it would also improve consumer protections and regulate airline junk fees. No wonder corporate airlines are rooting for Sinema to team up with Republicans to block it. Tell the Senate: Reject the Sinema-Thune amendment!
