New leaked documents show Reuters’ and the BBC’s involvement in covert UK FCO programs to effect “attitudinal change” and “weaken the Russian state’s influence,” alongside intel contractors and Bellingcat. by Max Blumenthal Part 2 - Reuters solicits secret British Foreign Office contract to infiltrate Russian media A series of official documents declassified in January 2020 revealed that Reuters was secretly funded by the British government throughout the 1960s and 1970s to assist an anti-Soviet propaganda organization run by the MI6 intelligence agency. The UK government used the BBC as a pass-through to conceal payments to the news group. The revelation prompted a Reuters spokesman to declare that “ the arrangement in 1969 [with the MI6] was not in keeping with our Trust Principles and we would not do this today. ” The Trust Principles outline a mission of “ preserving [Reuters’] independence, integrity, and freedom from bias in the gathering and dissemination of information and ne

It is now difficult to distinguish where the deep state ends and the fourth estate begins and Ben Nimmo’s move from NATO to NATO-aligned think tank to Facebook is just another example of this phenomenon.   by Alan Macleod   Part 4 - Greater control The military escalation has been mirrored by an intensifying online propaganda war, where the U.S. has attempted to isolate China economically and stop advancing Chinese technologies such as Huawei’s 5G network, mobile phone, and semiconductor manufacturer Xiaomi, and video sharing app TikTok.  Nimmo has played his part in ramping up suspicions of nefarious Chinese activity online, claiming the existence of a wide-ranging pro-Beijing bot network encouraging Americans to believe that China has handled the COVID-19 pandemic far better than the United States. That Americans might have come to that conclusion on their own appears not to have been considered. There is an enormous government effort to convince its population of the existence of (f

An investigative analysis takes apart a hackneyed piece of propaganda authored by an international alt-right clique with links to the Pentagon.   by Raul Diego   Part 3 - CFR for dummies An open letter published on the web in early January called on “ the federal authorities in Australia, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States ” and the FBI, specifically, to investigate the claim made by the authors that the worldwide lockdowns that have decimated small businesses and left millions unemployed, yet lined the pockets of the richest people and sent stock markets soaring, have been “inspired” by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Their ‘case’ begins with the argument that as a result of China’s implementation of a lockdown on the city of Wuhan after the novel coronavirus was deemed a threat to public health by Chinese authorities. and the ostensible iron grip the communist nation has on the World Health Organization, it was able to stealthily transpose its draconian mea

Ecuador’s presidential candidate Yaku Pérez supported coups in Bolivia, Brazil, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. His US-backed party Pachakutik and supposedly “left-wing” environmentalist campaign is being promoted by right-wing corporate lobbyists.   by Ben Norton  Part 4 - US-backed “ecosocialists” ally with right-wing in coup attempt against Rafael Correa   The deployment of ostensibly progressive “environmentalist” talking points to destabilize left-wing governments in Bolivia, Venezuela, Mexico, and beyond was developed over a decade ago, to weaken the democratically elected government of Ecuador’s former socialist President Rafael Correa. To undercut Correa, the United States and Western European governments funded civil society groups in Ecuador that claimed to support environmental causes and indigenous rights, but ended up serving as tentacles of the right-wing opposition. Throughout their tenures in office, Ecuador’s Correa and Bolivia’s Evo Morales faced heavy opposition to their a

The Trump and Biden administrations have relied on the work of a right-wing religious extremist, Adrian Zenz, for their “genocide” accusation against China. A close review of Zenz’s research reveals flagrant data abuse and outright falsehoods.   by Gareth Porter and Max Blumenthal Part 2 - Genocide or equal treatment in family planning policy? In Adrian Zenz’s 2020 paper for the Jamestown Foundation, he boasted that his findings “ provide the strongest evidence yet that Beijing’s policies in Xinjiang meet one of the genocide criteria cited in the U.N. Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. ” Zenz was referring Article 2 (d) of that Convention: “ Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group .” But Article II qualifies the relevant acts as those “ committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such. ” But “ preventing births ” by itself cannot be evidence of alleged genocide withou

The US State Department is pushing a politicized vote recount, overseen by the coup-sponsoring OAS, after socialist Andrés Arauz won Ecuador’s election in a landslide. Meanwhile Colombia’s ex-president warns his country’s “radical right” is “interfering” with “slander” and a “dirty game.”   by Ben Norton  Part 3 - Ecuador’s biased electoral council collaborates with losing candidates against leading leftist   While the Colombian government has openly meddled in Ecuador’s internal affairs, the US government and Organization of American States have been working more quietly behind the scenes to undermine the electoral victory of leftist Andrés Arauz.   On February 12, the same day Colombia’s chief prosecutor arrived in Quito, Ecuador’s National Electoral Council (CNE) held an unprecedented closed-door meeting between the second- and third-place presidential candidates.   In a blatant violation of Ecuadorian law, the CNE hosted a private event where the losing opposition candidates were e

by Robert Inlakesh   Part 2 - When in doubt, blame Iran   Despite the fact there has been no confirmation as to who exactly carried out the recent Erbil rocket attack, the US State Department has vowed a response against those involved.  The group that claimed the attack, Saraya Awliya Al-Dam, has since been linked by the Western press to Iran. The likes of CNN have even called the group an “ Iranian-backed militia ”, for which the network provided no evidence and which is a potentially dangerous assertion, as many Americans will have been given the impression that Iran was somehow responsible. Iran has since denied any involvement in the Erbil attack and says it has never backed the Saraya Awliya Al-Dam militia group.  Following Trump’s ‘targeted assassination’ of Iranian Quds Force Commander Qassem Soleimani and Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units (PMUs) Chairman Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis in January 2020, the Iraqi parliament had voted to expel US forces from the country. Although the expul

globinfo freexchange   Στις αρχές Φεβρουαρίου, ένα σύντομο άρθρο στη διαδικτυακή έκδοση του Associated Press πέρασε λίγο-πολύ απαρατήρητο. Παρόλα αυτά, θα μπορούσε να αποτελέσει την καλύτερη απόδειξη για ένα γεγονός που αυτό εδώ το μπλογκ υποστηρίζει εδώ και χρόνια. Δηλαδή, με λίγα λόγια, ότι το Δυτικό οικονομικό μοντέλο έχει ήδη μεταμορφωθεί σε κάτι ακόμα χειρότερο από τον καπιταλισμό. Έχει μεταμορφωθεί σε ένα είδος κορπορατικής φεουδαρχίας του 21ου αιώνα. Και φαίνεται ότι η πολιτεία της Νεβάδα θα αποτελέσει και επίσημα το πεδίο δοκιμών γι'αυτή την Οργουελική μετάβαση.    Το πρώτο σοκ έρχεται με τη γενική περιγραφή του τι πρόκειται να δούμε στην πολιτεία της Νεβάδα. Όπως αναφέρεται στο άρθρο, ετοιμάζεται ειδική νομοθεσία που θα επιτρέπει την ίδρυση περιοχών (που αποκαλούνται Ζώνες Καινοτομίας) στη συγκεκριμένη πολιτεία, τις οποίες οι μεγάλες εταιρίες θα ελέγχουν απόλυτα μέσα από αυτόνομες τοπικές κυβερνήσεις!  Το σχέδιο ανακοινώθηκε από τον κυβερνήτη  Steve Sisolak, μέλος του Δ
