[…] CIA. Insofar as this view is perhaps not entirely consistent with the facts its propagation is a form of psychological warfare waged against the American people (‘ disinformation’ is the term of art), corrupting the processes of a democracy. Most thoroughly denied, minimized, shoved into a drawer while attention is directed elsewhere, are Helms’s […]

[…] very good book. (An opinion Victorian shares, incidentally.) If this book (along with his Channel 4 TV programme on the same subject) is part of some CIA disinformation operation in tandem with the official disclosure (and official rubbishing) of the Remote Viewing program, it’s too clever for me. After interviewing most of the people […]

[…] print media and relevant websites. The book is remarkably up-to-date, featuring many events from 2005 and covers all the most obvious ‘conspiracies’ up to and including the disinformation surrounding the invasion of Iraq in 2003. There is a bias towards American material in the book; but the bulk of the extant material emanates from […]

In 1978 Le Monde alleged that ‘under Marenches’ leadership, terrorism and also disinformation – the influencing of public opinion – were extensively pursued (by the SDECE)’.(8).

Searchlight At the beginning of the essay on the Blairites above, I discuss the concept of political contamination, the denigration of people on the left by association – real or fictitious – with ideas or people on the right. The most enthusiastic users of the contamination device in Britain today are found in Searchlight magazine. […]
