‘Integrity Initiative’ – New Documents From Shady NGO Released
The British Government runs an anti-Russian smear campaign through the pseudo non-government-organization Integrity Initiative. Some person, operating under the 'Anonymous' label, obtained internal papers of the Initiative and publishes those in several batches. Moon of Alabama was one of the first sites that analyzed the released papers.
Our last piece on the Initiative concluded:
After reading through all the released Initiative papers and lists one gets the impression of a secret military intelligence operation, disguised as a public NGO. Financed by millions of government money the Institute for Statecraft and the Integrity Initiative work under a charity label to create and disseminate disinformation to the global public and back into the government and military itself.
Today the Anonymous account released a new batch of some 50 internal Integrity Initiative documents at the Cyber Guerrilla website.
With the new release Anonymous lays out a timeline that connects the Skripal affair in Britain with the activities and personal of the Integrity Initiative. Our last piece had already drawn the Skripal connection to the Initiative, but some of the new documents add to the trail.
The trail starts with a document (pdf), written in January 2015(!), that lays out a plan and options for sanctioning Russia.

We have since seen that several of these planned sanctions have been realized after this or that curious event, like the alleged use of doping by Russian athletes and during the Skripal affair.
It will take some time to analyze the newly released papers and to draw conclusions. If you opt to read them yourself please leave notes on them in the comments.

Tim Hayward provides a complete list (scroll down) of all articles written so far here and elsewhere about the Integrity Initiative .
As a lifelong peace activist I want to acknowledge b’s public service on sharing and contextualizing the Anonymous files on the revelation of what perhaps most of us suspected – that all the anti-Russia bullshit was a gov-funded enemy-manufacturing scam. It has had the side-effect of ruing journalism and its credibility for at least my lifetime. Not just “MSM media” but the ethical pretenses of journalists and reporters who don’t care to understand what type of system they are working in. It is fucking gamed, and we always knew it, and we were called nuts for saying we believed it was wrong. This is a world where Russian media can at least be held to standards of honesty, but we continue to prefer to fool ourselves into idiocy in the West, as policy and civil requirement.
Canadian neoconservative foreign minister C Freeland just announced before all the Integrity news broke that Canada was happy to cough up 2.5M of a $24M aid package to her homeland Ukraine to install a “Russia Disinformation” anti-propaganda center. Of course, Ukrainians are involved deeply in all these fakeries already, but I guess their country needs the money, and media payments are the next business model. So I don’t know if that has changed since the Integrity Initiative news broke, but probably not, since Canadians are awfully complacent about complicity in evil war policy.
That said, the even darker side of the Russia frenzy is that the constant propaganda has turned everyday people in the West into haters, unaccountable, unthinking, insanely anti-Slavic racists. Just change the locus from Russia to Israel and see how that sounds. Or what if Pakistan, or the Japanese. If its all lies about Russia, then its even worse than normal human xenophobia, its manufactured bile, a vile fog that benefits someone else that you have lost your independent thinking. At a time when political correctness runs amuck, and being called a racist is worst than murderer, we are all asked to be racist for the benefit of Her Majesty. When we have rendered all of liberal society into a self-loathing panopticon, of worrisome optics and step-watching, it seems that hating Russia is where all the allowable human animus is channeled.
There are many adversaries, and there are really none as well. But to choose one people – who turnout to have their own race basically, a language group like indigenous people claim, an essential origin (Kiev!) and all we do is make claims on their existence that intend to exploit their remaining wealth. They are like the last indigenous people that didn’t get wiped out, and by god, the UK and Americans are going to do it. I call bullshit racism. The Zionist cast of at least 90% of the anti-Russia spew is almost never remarked upon. But its everywhere from CNN and BBC, NPR and the 5 corporate-owned news organizations, to Bill Browder’s ploys and his friends in all Western governments, to 20 years of PNAC neoconservatives) Kristol, Kagan/Nuland, Kissinger, Abrams, etc.) that continue to shift their loyalties from R’s to Dems and nobody seems to notice, as long as they are “with us.” To Soros and his funding into the color revolution in Ukraine (and the fact that we can’t even call him out anymore because its siding with Putin, or to even try to say his “pay for policy” is a problem in our so-called democracies, well WE get called racist by these same news orgs (I mean, anti-Semitic) which is a nice human shield effect for the world’s oligarchs whose accountability is further and further shielded from any interventions they make to their advantage and our (financial, spiritual and ethical) loss. So when the facts are on your side, and you call them out, you are a racist? And where are the facts on “malign Russia? The facts are what we are told they are, by the names doxxed in the Integrity Initiative files and their pliant house organs. I’m done.
(Sorry b, but I also mistakenly posted this comment to your earlier post, it was this one I meant to respond to – I must have had both pages open, not spamming).
