[…] 1988 has a detailed account of the network of support in Canada for UNITA; that of February 1989 has a long account of the South African government’s propaganda effort in Canada. (Both appear to have been reprinted in issue two of Top Secret which arrived as this was being type-set and which I have […]
[…] currency, fearing another ERM-style debacle. (2) ‘New Labour’ is stuck in precisely the same way that the Conservative Party was stuck and it is entirely unclear whether or not a pro-single currency propaganda campaign like those described in Andy Mullen’s piece above would work with so much of the printed media being hostile to it.
[…] any future referendums, ‘the government should remain neutral’. Cue apoplexy among the pro single currency groups at the prospect of not being able to use the state’s propaganda assets in the promised referendum on entry into the single currency. Hugo Young, a man who rarely if ever saw a Foreign Office line he couldn’t […]
[…] is easily dismissed in the NED’s closed world. The ‘report’ is a seemingly interminable expression of faux surprise at other regimes’ xenophobic resentment towards foreign spies, black propaganda, heavily funded ‘protest groups’ and media, consultants and agent provocateurs fomenting civil unrest with the overthrow of the state as their aim. The Lugar Report’s sources […]
[…] many Cuban exiles. Throughout the period following Castro’s seizure of power, there has been a bloody war being fought clandestinely and more openly in the form of propaganda pumped from the USA seeking to undermine the government of Cuba. Bacardi have been at the forefront of these attempts, being linked to convicted terrorists and […]

This opinion of mine is based on statements from […]
[…] American state and media. Here is one of the oddities of the group: they went from demos to bombs, almost missing out on the reading, writing and propaganda stage of the ‘normal’ left group’s development. Their major publications appeared while some of them they were on the FBI’s ‘most wanted’ list. Outlaws indeed. This […]
[…] to this test, millions of volumes were at risk of turning into dust; but if the dust didn’t get them they might spontaneously combust, claimed the 1987 propaganda film Slow Fires. By repeatedly presenting such untruths library administrators attracted millions of dollars of public money which was used to dispose of the very material […]
[…] has written for the new Encounter magazine. Michael Scammel, who has just published a massive biography of Solzhenitsyn, is turning to a study of the CIA-funded anti-communist propaganda operations of the 1950s. No doubt this will include Encounter ….. September should see the publication of Henry Hurt’s Reasonable Doubt: the assassination of John F. […]
[…] it worth explaining how this came about and how it has been sustained. There is, therefore, no reference to US labour attachés (Joe Godson et al), Atlanticist propaganda, (the Labour Committee on Transatlantic Understanding, British Atlantic Committee, BAP et al); no reference to State Department or Labor Department-sponsored visits; no reference to the RIIA, […]
