New Documents Reveal a Covert British Military-Intelligence Smear Machine Meddling In American Politics<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n
\n

The Integrity Initiative has mobilized an international disinformation campaign across Europe. Now, with government and right-wing foundation money, this massive \u201cpolitical smear unit\u201d is infiltrating the US.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A bombshell domestic spy scandal<\/a> has been unfolding in Britain, after hacked internal communications exposed a covert UK state military-intelligence psychological warfare operation targeting its own citizens and political figures in allied NATO countries under the cover of fighting \u201cRussian disinformation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The leaked documents revealed a secret network of spies, prominent journalists and think-tanks colluding under the umbrella of a group called \u201cIntegrity Initiative\u201d to shape domestic opinion\u2014and to smear political opponents of the right-wing Tory government, including the leader of the opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn.<\/p>\n

Until now, this Integrity Initiative domestic spy scandal has been ignored in the American media, perhaps because it has mostly involved British names. But it is clear that the influence operation has already been activated in the US. Hacked documents reveal that the Integrity Initiative is cultivating powerful allies inside the State Department, top DC think tanks, the FBI and the DHS, where it has gained access to Katharine Gorka<\/a> and her husband, the fascist-linked<\/a> cable news pundit Sebastian Gorka<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Integrity Initiative has spelled out plans to expand its network across the US, meddling in American politics and recruiting \u201ca new generation of Russia watchers\u201d behind the false guise of a non-partisan charity. Moreover, the group has hired one of the most notorious American \u201cperception management\u201d specialists, John Rendon, to train its clusters of pundits and cultivate relationships with the media.<\/p>\n

Back in the UK, Member of Parliament Chris Williamson has clamored for an investigation into the Integrity Initiative\u2019s abuse of public money.<\/p>\n
