Introduction \u2013 May 14, 2023<\/strong><\/h1>\n

In case you had not noticed, Russia has been getting a lot of bad publicity recently:<\/p>\n

Russia to blame for \u2018worst food crisis since WW2\u2019, says US envoy<\/a><\/p>\n

Biden blames Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine for food supply shortages and price hikes<\/a><\/p>\n

Russian ‘ghost ships’ with underwater capabilities circled Nord Stream explosion site, documentary claims<\/a><\/p>\n

Biden blames Russia for gas prices as he presses Congress, states and oil companies<\/a><\/p>\n

At first glance it may appear that the Russians really are a bad bunch. However, as Kit Klarenberg reveals below, British Intelligence may have set-up a media organisation to coordinate all the bad publicity about Russia. Blaming it for everything from food shortages to energy price hikes the aim is to turn public opinion against Russia.<\/p>\n

We saw something similar shortly before the Anglo-American-led invasion of Iraq. You may remember that the Western MSM had a field day with stories about Saddam\u2019s Weapons of Mass Destruction.<\/p>\n

In the end no Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction were ever found and all the speculation about Saddam\u2019s WMD turned out to be completely baseless. All that publicity was useful only insofar as it mentally conditioned the Western public for war with Iraq.<\/p>\n

Does the spate of negative publicity concerning Russia and President Putin serve a similar function?<\/p>\n

Are we now being set-up for a wider war with Russia?<\/p>\n

\u2018UK propaganda network funded by MI6 laid the ground for Ukraine conflict\u2019<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Press TV \u2013 April 24, 2023<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Integrity Initiative, a\u00a0propaganda network linked to Britain\u2019s secret intelligence agency MI6, has demonized Russia in the West and laid the ground\u00a0for the year-long conflict in Ukraine to rage on, according to a journalist.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kit Klarenberg, an investigative journalist and Press TV Website\u00a0contributor, told Press TV’s Palestine Declassified program\u00a0that Integrity Initiative, a British project funded by MI6 and run by British military intelligence, has sought\u00a0to pin the blame on Russia for all domestic political events in the West.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of Integrity Initiative\u2019s key objectives as a black propaganda unit, was to try and to fix blame on Russia for almost any and every national domestic political event across the Western world, \u2026 it also helped demonize Russia and laid the foundations for what we are seeing now in Ukraine,\u201d Klarenberg said.<\/p>\n

On February 24, 2022, Russia began what it called a\u00a0“special military operation” in Ukraine\u00a0to \u201cde-Nazify\u201d the country over the threat of the former Soviet republic joining the US-led NATO military alliance.<\/p>\n

Since the outbreak\u00a0of the war, which recently completed a year, the United States and Ukraine\u2019s other Western allies not only imposed a slew of economic sanctions on Moscow but have sent Kiev tens of billions of dollars worth of weapons.<\/p>\n

The Kremlin has repeatedly warned\u00a0that\u00a0sanctions on Russia and Western military assistance to Ukraine risk prolonging the war.<\/p>\n

Klarenberg said that Integrity Initiatives has also attempted to fan Russia meddling claims in the UK saying Moscow has influenced British public opinion in favor of the UK\u2019s withdrawal from the European Union (EU), also known as Brexit.<\/p>\n

\u201cIntegrity Initiatives helped transform a Brexit from what was a national political event in which disillusioned, disaffected people voted to leave the European Union largely out of anger at established politics to a Russian conspiracy,\u201d noted.<\/p>\n

He said that\u00a0allegations against the Russian government for interfering in the US 2016 presidential election or fomenting separatist sentiments in 2017 Catalonia\u2019s independence referendum are other cases of the UK\u2019s covert propaganda efforts against Russia.<\/p>\n

Klarenberg also mentioned Carole Cadwalladr, the Guardian\u2019s journalist, who was at the forefront of exposing the so-called Cambridge Analytical scandal in 2018 alleging that the British consulting firm has manipulated the Brexit referendum on behalf of Russia.<\/p>\n

Cadwalladr\u2019s name also appeared on leaked secret documents involved with the Integrity Initiative.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was chasing all these red herrings and false leads about Russian connections to Cambridge Analytical, therefore in the public mind today, the average person who is familiar with Cambridge Analytical will be absolutely certain that it was a Russian intelligence operation,” he remarked.<\/p>\n

“There is no evidence for that whatsoever.”<\/p>\n

In October 2020, the UK Information Commissioner announced that Cambridge Analytical was \u201cnot involved\u201d in the EU referendum.<\/p>\n

Klarenberg said in the Cambridge Analytical scandal Cadwalladr was \u201ccentral in misdirecting public anger.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is absolutely an agenda [in the West] trying to link wrongdoing to enemy states,\u201d he hastened to add.<\/p>\n
