[…] of the Hilton, and at a travel agents’ convention which appears more like an international gathering of secret agents all getting pissed together. CIA stations carry our propaganda and study the Russian Intelligence Service (RIS) and local left activity. But Beck learns that by the 1960s RIS had long since ceased using foreign Communist […]
[…] the euro is, it has decided to enter the euro and is ‘playing a long game…. preparing for euro membership’. This preparation has included two ‘low intensity’ propaganda campaigns, substantial state expenditure already and decisions that ensure that in the referendum campaign the ‘Yes’ campaign can outspend their opponents, and that the EU itself […]
[…] what is known as a ‘personal chair’ at Cambridge University, wrote KGB:The Inside Story (Hodder and Stoughton, 1990). The book is part of the British secret state’s propaganda campaign around the KGB defector Oleg Gordiefsky.

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.

[…] 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.
