... (c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Clandestine Caucus) Special Issue Last¦ Contents¦ Next The Clandestine Caucus Post-war: private sector propaganda begins to regroup As the war ended domestic politics returned to normal. The propaganda organisations of domestic capital restarted, though without the frenzy which had marked the post 1918 period. Their big issue was the threat of nationalisation of companies.

... From Edward Herman I was taken aback by the review of Russell Kick's book, You Are Being Lied To, by Phil Edwards, in Lobster 42. It contains a venomous and completely idiotic attack on Noam Chomsky (and indirectly on me as a co-author of the propaganda model), and it has other deficiencies as well. Let me elaborate. Edwards quotes Kick on the meaning of a lie, which Kick says is 'elastic', encompassing deliberate falsehoods, lies of omission, an untruth 'that the speaker thinks is true' ...

... his and Noam Chomsky's 'propaganda model' as an exemplar of 'white crow' thinking. He writes: the notion that Chomsky says that "what you believe is the truth and anyone saying otherwise is lying to you", is imbecile nonsense. The idea that the propaganda model repres-ents a "critique of individual journalists", is complete horseshit. That it divides the world into truth-tellers and liars, and that it focuses on lies is also unmitigated nonsense. On the first point, anyone applying the propaganda model will, over time ...

... material with comments of mine in square brackets. All the emphases are mine. In the second line of the introduction the author (or authors) states: 'Its creation was prompted by the desire of Ministers in Mr Atlee's Labour government to devise means to combat Communist propaganda'.

... Dick White and SIS contains only one (unindexed) reference to the department. With IRD under sporadic investigation since 1978, the British state has fallen back to the position where, if pushed, it would acknowledge that IRD did use 'grey', i.e. trueish propaganda, as well as the straightforward, 'white', true variety. Among the handful of academics interested in IRD, this is also now the current consensus view. But it does not explain why, as Lucas and Morris ask in their conclusions, 'the records ...

Herman (with illustrations by Matt Wuerker) South End Press, Boston, USA, 1992, $13.00 (USA). The passing of the Bush regime is a good time to pause and express thanks to one of those American writers who have tenaciously dug out the reality behind the business-sponsored counter-revolution that has largely formed the politics of the past decade.

Arbitrarily we can locate the beginning of this in 1969 when the Labour Government pruned the Foreign Office's covert propaganda arm, the Information Research Department (IRD).(4) IRD had grown from its origins in the 1940s to employ hundreds of people and spend nearly 1 million per year on anti-Soviet and anti-Communist propaganda.
