The
Integrity Initiative has mobilized an international disinformation
campaign across Europe. Now, with government and right-wing
foundation money, this massive “political smear unit” is
infiltrating the US.

4 - Keeping up with the Gorkas
Internal
documents also refer to interactions between Integrity Initiative
Director Chris Donnelly and top Trump officials like Katharine Gorka,
a vehemently anti-Muslim Department of Homeland Security official, as
well as her husband, Sebastian, who earned right-wing fame during his
brief tenure in Trump’s White House.
The
latter Gorka is an open supporter of the Hungarian Vitezi Rend, a
proto-fascist order that collaborated with Nazi Germany during its
occupation of Hungary. Following Trump’s election victory in 2016,
Gorka appeared for televised interviews in a black Vitezi Rend
uniform.
Gorka
was among the first figures listed on an itinerary for Donnelly to
Washington this September 18 to 22. The itinerary indicates that the
two had breakfast before Donnelly delivered a presentation on
“Mapping Russian Influence Activities” at the federally funded
military research center, CNA.
According
to the itinerary, Donnelly was granted access to Pentagon officials
like Mara Karlin, an up-and-coming neoconservative cadre, and John
McCain Institute executive director Kurt Volker, another
neoconservative operative who also serves as the US Special
Representative for Ukraine. Numerous meetings with staffers inside
the State Department’s Office of Global Engagement were also
detailed.
