UK Engaged in Large-Scale Secret Propaganda War Against Russia
Why are you covering so much for Putin Billionaires all the time? Do you have any remorse for what they've stolen from their country? Or is all their money legit - and the only criminal is Browder? Never-mind - I know your answer.

On the Internet, nobody knows you're really a Putin Billionaire talking trash about Bill Browder.

What you seem to forget, although we have discussed it a few times, is that Bill Browder is/was a Putin Billionaire, and only stopped being one in Russia when he got caught and had to flee. The 1990's in Russia was a time of US plundering and raping of the country and so many people suffered and died. That's why they support Putin, who is, warts and all, better than anyone the US wants to put in his place (Yeltsen in the past, Khordakovsky-possible future). Seeing what is going on in Venezuela should start to inform you of the predictable pattern: manufacture consent against the ruler, who is called a "dictator" despite getting democratically elected, and then fund far-right opposition and install a puppet to impose austerity policies (Shock Doctrine) and privatize the natural resources for the oligarchs we have here. You may not realize it, but your view supports oligarchs and hurts the population.

Jamie - Speaking of Russian oligarchs, I noticed that this story about Deripaska, that you were sure was true, was actually a lie:

As I mentioned before the threads in this section often start to overlap and one of the biggest points of intersection is HSBC bank. Bill Browder was/is in with them and they feature in the II documents too. I already posted something about anti-frackers being targeted, and this article contains some more information on why that might be.
The Integrity Initiative scandal is getting worse — and British media keeps ignoring it
https://www.rt.com/op-ed/450058-integrity-initiative-scandal-british-media/
It must be sheer coincidence that HSBC is heavily involved in financing the fracking industry, providing banking services to multiple fossil fuel companies including Cuadrilla. Between 2007 and 2009, HSBC reportedly provided $5 billion in financing for tar sands projects in Canada. According to a BankTrack report on climate change, HSBC was in the top ten banks worldwide in 2017 for financing the fossil fuel industry. It was also named as one of the top ten "backsliders" — banks which drastically increased their fossil fuel financing between 2016 and 2017. HSBC has since pledged to get out of the fossil fuel industry, but it should be no surprise that its executives were interested in targeting anti-fracking activists with II’s help. What part of smearing environmentalists on behalf of banks, can legitimately be described as fighting against “disinformation” online?
II’s links to HSBC could also have something to do with British media’s continued lack of interest in covering the leaks. We are now approaching three months since the first batch of documents were dumped online and yet, the scandal has received scant coverage from mainstream British media, very likely due to the fact that a number of high profile journalists and academics have been named in the files for their work with various II projects. Some have since distanced themselves from the organization and it’s likely others were not even aware of how exactly II operated. Speaking notes from an address by IfS director Daniel Lafayeedney in Israel last year show that he pitched the Institute as "completelyindependent.”
But back to HSBC. British media's record on coverage of various HSBC scandals and frauds hasn't exactly been admirable. In 2015, Daily Telegraph political commentator Peter Oborne resigned over the newspaper's coverage of HSBC, saying it had perpetrated a "form of fraud on its readers" by failing to properly report on a major Swiss tax fraudcase.
Whistleblower and anti-corruption activist Nicholas Wilson who spent 13 years fighting HSBC in a billion-pound fraud case were repeatedly stonewalled by journalists. The II’s links to HSBC have not gone unnoticed by Wilson.
Just to add something about Wilson, he posts as "Mr. Ethical" on twitter and was the one who posted the YouTube video of Browder calling Andre Nekrasov an FSB agent. Here, in a recent tweet, he mentions how HSBC is connected to criminal activities in Russia and to Browder. He often links Browder to HSBC as though they were one and the same.
Sorry, folks. My fault. I had linked to the YouTube video of Browder, that showed he didn't really "lose it" despite what was claimed. So I'm responsible for the new journey into HSBC being part of the grand conspiracy.

I'm going to post on this over on the Browder thread -- stay tuned.
Interview with Piers Robinson on the Integrity Initiative, with mention of Bill Browder trashing Tulsi Gabbard. He talks about the Integrity Initiative and censorship of RT/Sputnik and how this story gets ignored in the MSM. Robenson's major point seems to be something like this:
This is shocking and fundamentally ant-democratic. Clearly operating with an underlying goal to harden and push the narrative of a new cold war. You have profound corruption of democracy where media and academia controlled. Media and academa are supposed to be separate and challenge power. You are completely corrupting the public. Preventing debate and replacing it with propaganda. Extremely dangerous. Playing out across so many things--in the US as well. They want to escalate these wars and have war with Russia at some point.

Evidently the Norwegians are "soft on Russia" and the II was working covertly to change that.
Integrity Initiative: UK interference in Norway
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2019/02/05/norw-f05.html
Hacked Integrity Initiative (II) documents have exposed the scale of the UK’s anti-Russia foreign interference activities in northern Europe. Norway has been targeted, with the II operating a secret “cluster,” whose stated aim is to overturn the views of the Norwegian public that are deemed “soft” on Russia.
The Integrity Initiative is a network of UK military and intelligence operatives, academics and journalists spreading anti-Russia propaganda and fake news. It includes “specialist Army Reserve units” linking to “very senior civilian experts” including “hedge fund managers” and “senior bankers” who have volunteered as “patriots.” The group’s existence was made public by the Anonymous hacking collective in November.
Among a fourth trove of documents leaked by Anonymous last month is a memo by Chris Donnelly, who co-ordinates II’s activities from a basement office at 2 Temple Place in London. He details sinister operations in Norway, including psy-ops targeting the Norwegian public. The II is financed by the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Integrity Initiative Director Chris Donnelly
In August 2016, Donnelly visited Oslo and outlined the “current situation” in Norway: “The Norwegian public are generally inclined to be soft on Russia as a near neighbor in the North (where there is a tradition of freindship [sic] and a good working relationship). Although the public can be hard-nosed about Putin and Moscow’s policies, their scepticism of US/western politics can lead to their being less critical of Russia’s position at times.” This problematic public attitude to Russia was expressed in a 2017 Sentio poll, which found that 76 percent of north Norwegians think authorities should do more to improve Norway’s relationship with Russia.
The leaked memo included Donnelly’s packed itinerary. He attended meetings with Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Justice and Police officials. At a workshop on “Fighting the Information War” chaired by the Defence Research Institute’s Henning-Andre Sogaard, they discussed how “the project” could be “generated in Norway nationally, across Nordic states, and internationally. Building the cooperation between the classified and unclassified world, keeping in mind that one of the main targets is the hearts and minds of the public.”
The Anonymous leaks expose an anti-democratic conspiracy aimed at subverting public discourse and shifting the political climate in a right-wing militarist direction.
Despite evidence of such top-level intrigue, Norway’s mainstream media and political parties have been virtually silent on the matter. The online newspaper ABC Nyheter was alone in publishing an article, in which the named Norwegian cluster members denied involvement (echoing the response of those contacted in the UK). The Norwegian left-radical news blog, Steigen.no, having probed more deeply, was able to establish the likely involvement of those named.
Such diplomatic silence contrasts markedly with the media frenzy that followed unsubstantiated allegations of Russian interference in Norway. In February 2017, Norway’s Police Security Services (PST) claimed Russia was behind an attempt to hack the Norwegian Labour Party, the Defence and Foreign ministries and the PST itself. Its allegations mirrored the FBI’s equally bogus claims of Russian hacking of the US Democratic National Committee. Norway’s biggest media outlets published the PST’s allegations without question, with screaming headlines about a “Russian Hacker Attack against Norway” (national broadcaster NRK).
Anonymous posts 6th release of Integrity Initiative documents:
Greetings! We are Anonymous.
While the UK Government keeps on defying our demands for an honest and unbiased investigation into the Institute for Statecraft and the Integrity Initiative’s meddling in domestic affairs of sovereign European states, Chris Donnelly’s team awkwardly try to justify their illegal activity paid for by the British taxpayers.
The Integrity Initiative’s German cluster held a meeting in Berlin on the 31st of January 2019. A well-known British intelligence officer Harold Elletson and the cluster’s chief Dr Hannes Adomeit co-chaired the event. They again made an effort to divert people’s attention from the organisation’s wrongful activity in the European Union. However their pathetic attempt has been shattered to pieces by irrefutable evidence that we have been and will continue to share with you.
Today we are talking about the way Chris Donnelly used his agents in the FCO to obtain millions of British taxpayers’ pounds through grant foundations: Conflict, Stability and Security Fund and Counter Disinformation and Media Development Programme (ex Russian Language Strategic Communications Programme). We demand that the organisations’ spending of budget money be subject to public control and their activity be absolutely transparent!
Here is the next part of the documents that show to the people of Europe how Donnelly intended to use the capacity of clusters that he had created in allied countries.
According to Tim Hayward:
(This includes mention of seminars to identify "academic sympathies with Russia". What would that mean? UK government is sponsoring these activities and should make them public.)

They name a bunch of names in this one and I will try to sort through and post about those later.
