MintPress News   Alan MacLeod speaks about BBC’s extremely close links to the ruling Conservative Party. While often criticized by right-wingers as a bastion of liberalism, a multitude of top BBC executives and directors are directly linked to Toryism. For example, BBC chairman Richard Sharp was a senior adviser to many top Tories, including both former prime minister Boris Johnson and Sunak himself. Sharp has also donated at least £400,000 to the party. Meanwhile, as MacLeod notes, the BBC’s former head of political programming, Robbie Gibb – the brother of a Tory cabinet minister – left the broadcasting corporation to become the director of communications for Conservative prime minister Theresa May. 

After @elonmusk , it was the turn of #MarkZuckerberg to fire 11,000 people in the blink of an eye. Billionaire oligarchs are all the same. They can fire thousands as fast as they earn billions in pubic money subsidies and tax-breaks to keep their huge fortunes and power untouched. pic.twitter.com/1PRFa6TR6n — failedevolution (@failedevolution) November 10, 2022

An Australian university has unearthed millions of Tweets by fake ‘bot’ accounts pushing disinformation on the Ukraine war.    by Peter Cronau   Part 1   A team of researchers at the University of Adelaide have found that as many as 80 percent of tweets about the 2022 Russia-Ukraine invasion in its early weeks were part of a covert propaganda campaign originating from automated fake ‘bot’ accounts. An anti-Russia propaganda campaign originating from a ‘bot army’ of fake automated Twitter accounts flooded the internet at the start of the war. The research shows of the more than 5-million tweets studied, 90.2 percent of all tweets (both bot and non-bot) came from accounts that were pro-Ukraine, with fewer than 7 percent of the accounts being classed as pro-Russian. The university researchers also found these automated tweets had been purposely used to drive up fear amongst people targeted by them, boosting a high level of statistically measurable ‘angst’ in the online discourse.  The res

Declassified Australia exposes and analyses a massive secret propaganda operation being run out of the US, that has been buried by Western media. by Peter Cronau   Part 5 - The China cluster   The researchers found a small cluster of assets of the Central Asia group was focused almost exclusively on China. ‘ These accounts – a fake persona and sham media outlet – mainly focused on the genocide of Uighurs and Muslim minorities in “re-education” camps in Xinjiang. ’ Posts described ‘ alleged organ trafficking, forced labor, sexual crimes against Muslim women, and suspicious disappearances of ethnic Muslims in Xinjiang ’. Other assets in the group also posted about China, asserting that ‘ Chinese authoritarianism and financial imperialism threatened Central Asia and other regions of the world ’.  The covert social media assets ‘ frequently referred to China’s cooperation with Russia, especially on military issues, and said Beijing should be held responsible for Russia’s invasion of Ukrain

γράφει ο κρατικοδίαιτος νεοφιλελές   Και κάπως έτσι ολοκληρώνεται το έργο της πτώσης ενός μεγάλου πολιτικού απατεώνα τον οποίο θα θυμόμαστε μόνο για τα χατίρια που έκανε στην ντόπια ολιγαρχία που τον έφερε στην εξουσία.  Ο Κούλης Μητσοτάκης θα αφήσει πίσω του συντρίμμια, είτε φύγει πρόωρα, είτε κανονικά, στο τέλος της θητείας του.   Αφού τον χρησιμοποίησαν οι ντόπιοι ολιγάρχες, τώρα ετοιμάζονται να τον ξεφορτωθούν, γιατί τον θεωρούν καμένο χαρτί που φέρνει περισσότερες ζημιές παρά κέρδη.    Άλλωστε, η καθαίρεση Κούλη είχε έτσι και αλλιώς δρομολογηθεί εδώ και καιρό, αφού ακόμα και οι Βρυξέλλες πλέον τον θεωρούν καμένο χαρτί. Έτσι, ακόμα και τα πιο πιστά σκυλιά του συστήματος άρχισαν να σαλπίζουν την πτώση του. Στο πλευρό του Κούλη έχουν μείνει μόνο κάτι ξεχασμένα τρολ στα σόσιαλ μίντια και όσοι από το πρωθυπουργικό περιβάλλον ή και τη ΝΔ είναι μπλεγμένοι σε σκάνδαλα, αφού γνωρίζουν ότι ο Κούλης "άκουγε" και άρα τους "κρατάει". Και βέβαια, όσοι επιμένουν ακόμα και τώ

The pro-EU Renew party emerged from out of nowhere at the height of “Corbynmania,” pushing for a second Brexit referendum that led to the Labour leader’s demise. The intelligence backgrounds of Renew’s founders were kept under wraps – until now.   by Kit Klarenberg  Part 4 - Renew: “Remain’s more military arm” During Renew’s official launch in February 2018, its co-founder James Clarke described the party as the EU Remain campaign’s “ more military arm, ” an unintentionally revealing characterization given the unacknowledged records of Coghlan and Khadhouri. Following its kick-off event, Renew conducted a whirlwind nationwide tour in the UK, visiting dozens of towns and cities, addressing school children, and convening events large and small in an attempt to recruit candidates and whip up public support for a second Brexit referendum.  These activities generated unprecedented amounts of press coverage, with European media bolstering comparisons between Coghlan and French President Macr

Nazism is a racist supremacist ideology & it should be condemned. The US & its vassals didn't condemn Nazism at the UN because they are using Nazis in Ukraine to further their geopolitical goals—Just like how they used ISIS & Al-Qaeda. Nazis are their new "moderate rebels". — Hassan Mafi ‏ (@thatdayin1992) November 6, 2022 Surprise: Right-wing billionaire oligarch Elon Musk wants Twitter to be a place where only people who pay him money get heard. When capitalists talk about so-called "free speech," this is what they mean: only free speech for people who have money.

failed evolution   On 11 April 2019, the Ecuadorian government of traitor Lenin Moreno, invited the Metropolitan Police into the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and they arrested Julian Assange . Since then, Assange is kept in Belmarsh high security prison in London, without actual charges.   The real reason world's number one political prisoner is still kept in this high security prison, is because he exposed horrendous war crimes carried out by the US imperialists and their allies.   The ruthless Western imperialist regime wants to punish the No1 real journalist in the world and make him an example for any Whistleblower or real journalist who will attempt to expose its big crimes in the future.   And the Anglo-American axis has now become officially a fascist coalition , framed by the rest of its Western pets. UK's Home Secretary Priti Patel, one of the most ruthless ever, decided to extradite Julian Assange to US. No surprise of course. The only question we had in mind is

globinfo freexchange     The Greek “Watergate” (as described by international media), caused a political earthquake in Greece when, about two months ago, it was revealed that the secret services bugged the phone of Greek socialist opposition leader and MEP Nikos Androulakis.   Well, it seems that this was just the tip of the iceberg. New bombshell revelations show that there is a very long list of people whose phones have been bugged, among them some top executives of Mitsotakis regime itself!  Top investigate journalist Kostas Vaxevanis (who has been targeted by the regime for his exclusive revelations around regime's big corruption scandals), has published today, in Sunday's edition of his paper Documento , a list of names whose cellphones have been infiltrated by the Israeli-made Predator spyware.   A partial list, as seen on the paper’s front page, includes Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias, former Conservative Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, former minister, under both soci

by Caitlin Johnstone   "No no you don't understand, this US war is completely different from all the other US wars. See, the US is intervening in Ukraine for humanitarian reasons. We're fighting a bad guy who is an evil dictator that loves war crimes and genocide. Not like all those other interventions." If the US proxy war in Ukraine was meaningfully different from other US wars they would be justifying it using different arguments, not the exact same ones. The war propaganda is airing reruns.   Western punditry is rife with op-eds arguing that the US needs to vastly increase military spending because a world war is about to erupt, and they always frame it as though this would be something that happens to the US, like its own actions would have nothing to do with it. If World War 3 does indeed occur, it will be because the drivers of the US-centralized empire continued accelerating towards that horrific event while refusing every possible diplomatic off-ramp due to t
