He then became one of the founders and editors of the Washington Free Press, the first "alternative" newspaper in the capital.
In 1969 he wrote and published an article in which was revealed the names and addresses of more than 200 employees of the CIA.
Blum was a freelance journalist in the United States, Europe and South America. His stay in Chile in 1972-3, writing about the Allende government's "socialist experiment" and its tragic overthrow in a CIA-designed coup, instilled in him a personal involvement and an even more heightened interest in what his government was doing in various parts of the world.
In the mid-1970's, he worked in London with former CIA officer Philip Agee and his associates on their project of exposing CIA personnel and their misdeeds.
In 1999, he was one of the recipients of Project Censored-s awards for -exemplary journalism- for writing one of the top ten censored stories of 1998, an article on how, in the 1980s, the United States gave Iraq the material to develop a chemical and biological warfare capability.
Blum is also the author of: -Rogue State: A Guide to the World's Only Superpower- (updated 2005), -West-Bloc Dissident: A Cold War Memoir- (2002), and -Freeing the World to Death: Essays on the American Empire- (2004). His books have been translated into more 15 foreign languages.
During 2002-2003, Blum was a regular columnist for the magazine -The Ecologist-, which is published in London and distributed globally.
In January 2006, a tape from Osama bin Laden stated that "it would be useful" for Americans to read "Rogue State", apparently to gain a better understanding of their enemy.

The mind of the mass media: Email exchange between myself and a leading Washington Post foreign policy reporter: Each day I spend about three hours reading the Washington Post. Amongst other things I'm looking for evidence--real, legal, courtroom-quality evidence, or at least something logical and rational--to pin down those awful Russkis for their many recent crimes, from influencing the outcome of the 2016 US presidential election to use of a nerve agent in the UK. But I do not find such evidence.
