Richard Medhurst - UK’s disinformation war on Russia

 Russia was supposed to have messed with the United States democracy, but no evidence was ever found, despite this, the Western media was outraged, but now that real evidence has emerged of an extensive UK disinformation war against Russia, involving hundreds of journalists, the Western media is completely silent. 


Leaked documents expose how the United Kingdom’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) contracted major news outlets like the BBC and Reuters, among other fronts for British intelligence, in order to push an anti-Russian narrative and paint Britain and its NATO allies in a positive light.


These explosive documents published by the hacker collective ‘Anonymous’ expose how Britain's FCO has been engaged in virtually every deceptive activity it has accused Russia of undertaking: spreading fake news, disinformation, meddling in other countries’ elections and more.

The British elite is addicted to the concept or empire, and they see the British Empires has having "evolved" into the Anglo-American empire, with the British elite clandestinely directing it.

“ The Commonwealth comprises 54 countries, across all inhabited continents. The members have a combined population of 2.4 billion people, almost a third of the world population,”

Matt: that is true and not to be underestimated, but the Commonwealth typically hauls Britain dragging and screaming behind it, these days, as it once did in forcing the UK to impose sanctions on the white South African government. Britain's real empire is its network of Offshore financial centres (many of which, to be fair, are part of the Commonwealth). (Not that you do not know this.)

US is not part of it though ... add US and NATO it’s probably 4 billion people?
