[…] regard to fossil fuel consumption, if it were possible to transmit electrical power this way. Secondly, a full investigation of the extent (and effect) of the general disinformation about Tesla projects should be undertaken including a study of how and why the disinformation, rather than the facts, was kept so much in the public […]
[…] was this: it was being surveilled by Special Branches, the US state department, the Foreign Office’s IRD and various private organisations like the Economic League. Information and disinformation on the left was being distributed by Common Cause and IRIS both funded in my opinion, by the CIA and by the secret Foreign Office propaganda […]
[…] 161 is devoted to magazines Wake Up approves of. One is Searchlight, of which it is said: ‘Strangely, it appears to have been the subject of a disinformation campaign recently to discredit Gerry Gable. Well, we’re all wise to who practises those sort of tactics.’ Well, I wish I was so wise. What is […]

This is not just due to bizarre fantasies, and guesswork and/or wish-fulfilment masquerading as fact, there is also what appears to be the passing of disinformation on behalf of MI5 and possibly others.

Ledeen was likewise part of the Neocon network that formed the Congressionally-funded National Endowment for Democracy in 1983.(3) Landis describes Ledeen’s disinformation themes in the few years between the first Jonathan conference and his involvement in Iran-Contra as follows: ‘The notion that the CIA was destroyed under Carter; […]
[…] Ireland say that the UDA and parts of the IRA are jointly controlling some of their criminal activities and use the same drug traffickers.’ This is classic disinformation (see also ‘IRA Godfathers’ et al, ad nauseam) that the British state has been running since about 1971.

[…] were responsible for millions of deaths from starvation in a terror-bombed economy. This time Herman, with Brodhead, targets ‘the Bulgarian connection’, and in particular a clique of disinformation agents starring the ‘Big Three’ – Claire Sterling, Paul Henze and Michael Ledeen.
