... (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. The so-called Mr Cube Campaign of 1949/50, against the possibility of the nationalisation of the sugar industry, spent an estimated £250,000 in that year.(44) The campaign had been jointly organised by the sugar company, Tate and Lyle, and Aims of Industry, an anti-socialist pressure group formed ...

... (c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 44) Winter 2002 Last| Contents| Next Issue 44 Spinning the European Union: pro-European propaganda campaigns in the British media Andy Mullen See note (1) This article explores the three pro-European Union propaganda campaigns mounted to date: in 1962-63 to secure public support following Britain's first application to join the EU; in 1970-71 to prepare the public for accession; and in 1974-75 to ensure continued EU membership in the 1975 Referendum. For simplicity, the term European Union (EU), rather than Common Market, European Economic Community (EEC), or European Community (EC), will be used throughout this article to refer to the post-war ...

... (c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 55) Summer 2008 Last| Contents| Next Issue 55 Britain, America and Anti-Communist Propaganda 1945-53 The Information Research Department Andrew Defty Oxford and New York: Routledge, 2004, £23.99, p/b Thinking about this book, I wondered why people like me have been so interested in IRD for the last 30 years. There are two reasons, I think. The first is that way back in the 1970s, when information about the British secret state was virtually non-existent, some articles were published about IRD. They got onto the agenda when there was almost nothing else on it and so they loomed large. Second, the discovery ...

... (Issue 43) Summer 2002 Last| Contents| Next Issue 43 Feedback 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', lies that are simply universally believed, etc. Then Edwards quotes Kick ...

... Eugene V. Rostow, Director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, stated "there is participation on an increasing scale in the US of three groups whose potential impact should be cause for concern. They are the churches, the 'loyalist opposition' and, perhaps most important, the unpoliticised public". He followed this by organising the propaganda campaign against the American Peace Movement's 'Ground Zero Week'. (1) Rostow was equally concerned about the growing unilateralist movement and so helped initiate a similar propaganda exercise in Britain, aimed at neutralising the efforts of CND. It would take three forms: mobilising public opinion, working within the Churches, and a 'dirty tricks' operation ...

(c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 28) December 1994 Last| Contents| Next Issue 28 BOOKS Don't Mention The War: Northern Ireland, Propaganda and the Media David Miller, Pluto Press, London, 1994, £14.95 (paper) 40.00 (cloth) In his introduction Miller thanks his 'colleagues at the Glasgow University Media Group', from whence came the pioneering studies of the way the British media handle politically sensitive events, such as Bad News, More Bad News and Really Bad News. That, with the book's title, tells you pretty much what to expect. What it does not tell you about is the quality and thoroughness of Miller's research: a very ...

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. In that time, Ed Herman has scoured beneath the public relations veneer of U.S foreign policy and become, sometimes in partnership with Noam Chomsky, the scourge ...

... Party, fizzled out. Page-Croft and his little group of MPs and Peers re-joined the Tory Party. Like the BWL, the National Party preached 'class peace', and these two groups, largely funded and supported by the same members of the ruling elites, are almost a right and left 'face' of the anti-socialist, 'class peace' propaganda movement which dominated much of British domestic politics in the decade after the Russian revolution. (5) These 'class peace' groups form almost half of the 20 or so groups discussed in White's wonderful essay. For some of them- the Christian Counter-Bolshevik Crusade, the Anti-Bolshevik League of Great Britain, the Moderate Party- little more than ...

... be divided into three major categories, each of which mainly includes publications with clear rightist or leftist biases. However, these categories are not entirely discrete and it is often quite difficult to be certain just which category a given work falls into. (4) The first such category is literature which is consciously produced and/or disseminated for propaganda purposes, often by people with direct or indirect links to the intelligence services of countries that are members of either NATO or the Warsaw Pact. These works, being designed primarily to manipulate public perceptions and thereby generate support for the adoption of certain desired policies, contain a considerable amount of disinformation and sometimes appear to constitute components of more ...
