THE CIA have admitted that they ran a campaign of slander against Jean Seberg, the French actress who committed suicide recently...

The brash and ruthless CIA

Should scrape and clean away the rust

And take the deadly dirty away

— So Truth and Justice in the dust,

And Faith and Freedom in decay,

Can read the text 'In God We Trust'

Throughout the plastic USA.

N. Racine-Jaques, 1979
