[…] not give me confidence about its veracity. Radio Liberty is a CIA-funded propaganda station; and the Baltimore Sun has some kind of role in the Pinay Circle’s disinformation operations. (See Lobster 18 p. 22, column 2) It is entirely possible that Boris Yeltsin gave no such interview, that we are dealing here with a […]
[…] among the Higher Media. Chasing the story the U.S. government least wanted investigated in the 1980s, Parry has come across the traces of extremely interesting examples of disinformation in action. In this case, most unusually, one of the generators of the disinformation, Oswald LeWinter, is identified, questioned and found to have been supplying information […]
[…] of source and detail in Matthew Smith’s speculation here, () it seems more likely that the story of Sirhan and the PLO training camps was simply Israeli disinformation. Kennedy apparently being killed by a Palestinian presented an opening too good to miss. It is, though, of at least passing interest that this potentially juicy […]
[…] all probability, an attempt by an informed person(s) to reconstruct for researchers a historical narrative based on non-existent and authentic documents supported by published facts with classic disinformation techniques in what is termed in counter-intelligence parlance as “gray” intelligence. The question of whether they are genuine, authentic or real is not the issue here. […]
[…] plots’ story, Colin Wallace, the only public source on the story at the time, was working with a Channel 4 journalist called Robert Parker. At one point disinformation about Wallace was being fed to Parker, through another journalist, from a former colleague of Wallace’s in Northern Ireland. (I know this man’s name but cannot […]
[…] that might show the USA in a bad light. With sections including Conspiracy Theories (‘Did the US “create” Osama bin Laden?’), Military Misinformation (‘Depleted uranium’), and Deliberate Disinformation (‘Saddam’s disinformation’; ‘Soviet disinformation’), plus guidance on ‘How to identify misinformation’, it certainly puts paid to the theory that the US government has no sense of […]
[…] of large numbers of politically distorted, sensationalistic, and superficial publications dealing with terrorism, many of which appear to be the direct or indirect products of a loosely-coordinated disinformation campaign launched by hardline rightist elements with various Western intelligence services and disseminated through their media assets.(4) This ever-increasing flood of material portrays ‘international terrorism’ as […]
[…] British Intelligence. These in turn recruited and controlled others who believed they were members of a genuine loyalist secret organisation.” (16) The gangs were designed to spread disinformation, dissension within the Loyalist ranks, and foment infighting. In the wake of the successful Ulster Worker Council’s strike in May, 1974, the British Government, under Prime […]
[…] not only about the information being provided to us but how it is presented psychological and political manipulation is not only about Goebbels and Soviet era disinformation. We need to go back and look at the ‘silences, lacunae and absences’. Manipulation is about the somewhat school-boyish but influential techniques of the vaguely psychopathic […]
[…] be true; some of it, anyway.(6) Most of the stuff I’ve seen is from the right with axes to grind and large appetites for recycling anti-Democratic Party disinformation. (They’ve got Watergate-Nixon-the CIA horrors-Iran-contra and the October Surprise to make up for.) Though there does appear to be evidence for much of this, when someone […]
