UK government funds and employs a “charity” which aims to disrupt and defund “disinformation” media outlets, globally

 On Tuesday, Big Brother Watch released documents that showed how the UK military supported Whitehall officials in monitoring the British public via the “Ministry of Truth.”

As well as the British Army’s 77th Brigade, the newly released documents show Royal Air Force (“RAF”) intelligence officers were also employed to spy on British citizens.

The documents show that at the same time, the UK government employed external contractors; one of which is the British not-for-profit Global Disinformation Index which has the goal of disrupting and defunding “disinformation sites.”

In January, Big Brother Watch released a report detailing secretive Whitehall units monitoring government critics’ speech online – including Members of Parliament, academics, journalists, human rights campaigners and the public – under the guise of combatting “misinformation.” The title of the report was ‘Ministry of Truth: the secretive government units spying on your speech’.

The ‘Ministry of Truth’ report also exposed the Government’s use of the British Army to scan their own citizens’ speech online, with exclusive testimony from a whistle-blower who worked in the “secretive information warfare machine”, the 77th Brigade.

The documents released on Tuesday consist of emails and daily “Mis/Disinformation” reports produced by the 77th Brigade for the Cabinet Office. They show soldiers tracking narratives from Members of the UK Parliament and the corporate press. Big Brother Watch has requested months’ worth of these documents but “only a handful appear to have survived,” they said.

Other documents released on Tuesday consist of requests for military assistance from the Counter Disinformation Unit (“CDU”). These requests are called Military Aid to Civilian Authority (“MACA”) requests. At the time, the CDU was part of the Department of Culture, Media and Sport....<<<Read More>>>...

British Army unit SPIED on COVID-19 lockdown dissenters

A shadowy propaganda unit of the British Army spied on people who were critical of the government’s Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic lockdown policies.

The offending unit of the British Army is the 77th Brigade’s Counter Disinformation Unit, which specializes in psychological and information warfare.

According to the statement of a whistleblower who spoke with the Daily Mail, this unit compiled dossiers on prominent public figures who voiced their dissenting views on COVID-19 policies. Their dissenting views were then reported back to former Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s government.

The information gathered during the illegal espionage operation was then used to craft the British government’s responses to criticisms of different COVID-19 policies, including lockdown orders, and police being given the power to break up gatherings and issue fines for violating COVID-19 policies.

“I entered this role believing I would be uncovering foreign information warfare,” said the whistleblower. “Instead, I found the banner of disinformation was a guise under which the British military was being deployed to monitor and flag our own concerned citizens.”

The whistleblower further noted that there may have been actual social media campaigns from foreign governments like China to promote support for COVID-19 lockdown policies in places like the United Kingdom, but because most of the 77th Brigade’s efforts were focused on monitoring sentiment toward the success of the lockdown, the unit probably missed its chance to detect it....<<<Read More>>>...
