    Intelligence cabal infiltrated UK civil service thanks to “centrally placed mole”

    Ex-MI6 chief Richard Dearlove pitched espionage operations targeting civil service and campaign groups

    Fake Democratic Party fronts run by CIA veterans were proposed to infiltrate pro-Remain groups

    Cabal sought to spy on and disrupt Prime Minister’s top Brexit negotiator

    Shadowy billionaires funded effort in total secret

    Dearlove claimed credit for influencing government policy on Huawei

    Cabal now seeking to remove Boris Johnson

    These efforts could amount to charges of TREASON 

Part 2 - “‘A Very English Coup D’Etat’…could be carefully orchestrated to achieve maximum impact”
 
Funding for the cabal’s “Operation Surprise” plot began flowing almost as soon as it was conceived.

In September 2018, Gwythian Prins fired off an email to Julian Blackwell, addressing his chum as “Trooper,” a reference to the publisher’s SAS special forces background, and thanking him for his “hugely welcome and generous willingness to cover my foregone income for effectively the first half of this FY [financial year].

He added that the Clodes were “marvellously willing to cover my time for the next phase of the year,” so he could “relax on the money front.” Oddly, Prins directed Blackwell to send the funds to his wife’s bank account – possibly a means to conceal transfers to himself. 
 
The Clodes also offered up thousands of pounds for the “intelligence operation,” following a call Dearlove made to them at Prins’ request.

In an August 2018 email to Prins, Tim Clode reported how the former MI6 chief outlined a “proposed modus operandi” for carrying out an espionage operations on Best for Britain in order to secure “maximum intel” on the pro-Remain group and its “co-conspirators.” He considered the target “very valuable” because it was “opening a second front through the People’s Vote movement, with a major effort to get the Labour Party to change official policy on a second referendum.

Tim told Dearlove that he also considered Oliver Robbins, May’s Europe Adviser and the chief Brexit negotiator, and his wider civil service unit “to be an equally important target,” in order to “force open the whole can of worms of rank disloyalty” among the civil service. 
 
If we could discover any ‘direct traffic’ between any of this disloyal civil service group and Best for Britain and its supporters, it would be dynamite,” Tim Clode wrote. “As per your ‘A very English Coup d’Etat,’ this could be carefully orchestrated to achieve maximum impact, either as per The Sun – Kit Kat tapes exclusives or selected private political briefings to key players.

Dearlove expressed a “high degree of confidence in the civil service objective,” and proposed a budget of “circa £4 – £5K per month” to dig up dirt on Best for Britain and Robbins, “strictly dependent on product results.”

A subsequent email from Prins revealed that the covert effort to “penetrate the enemy’s inner councils” would be led by former SIS (MI6 Secret Intelligence Service) operatives, connected to the notorious lobbying firm Crosby-Textor. 
 
In April 2019, Crosby-Textor was exposed as the hidden hand behind a series of bogus social media accounts targeting millions of British voters with ads extolling the virtues of a ‘Hard Brexit,’ and urging viewers to “chuck Chequers.”

Prins relayed advice from Dearlove, referred to by his code name, “C,” on how to achieve the infiltration. The former MI6 chief would “judge when there is a practicable breach to exploit,” apparently certain that “background coordination” was underway. The former spy further described Crosby-Textor as “the spider in the middle of the web,” with its staff deployed to Boris Johnson’s leadership bid, “which is now in full swing.” 
 
If Dearlove’s ex-MI6 contacts were unable to provide “gold” such as “the high-level plans of Best for Britain,” he would instead employ “some former CIA colleagues to set up a fake Democratic Party operation to approach the Remainers from across the seas – and in New York – to penetrate them.

These individuals were reportedly “highly expert at this sort of espionage,” Prins said, promising they would conduct infiltration work modeled after an operation carried out by Veterans for Britain, except “on a larger scale.”  
 
Prins concluded his incendiary missive by stating he would soon travel to Washington DC to meet with “special contacts” provided by Dearlove, in order to “open a line of attack in support of us from the USA.

May must go. The details of how that will be done ‘C’ [Dearlove] will hear on 18th September,” he explained. 
 
An August 2019 email reviewed by The Grayzone demonstrates how Veterans for Britain executed its espionage operation. In the message, Prins relays to Dearlove how the group’s communications chief, a former Naval Intelligence officer named David Banks, successfully ‘stung’ Alastair Brockbank, a senior civil service defense adviser whom Dearlove publicly accused in October 2018 of “working to lock UK defence and security under EU control after Brexit.
 
To verify whether Brockbank had left his post advising Oliver Robbins, the Brexit negotiator – information the cabal “could not find out by normal enquiry” – Banks messaged Brockbank posing as an associate of Centre for European Reform researcher Sophia Besch – whom Prins privately branded a “ghastly German remaniac.

Brockbank was subsequently duped into confirming that he remained in Downing Street. The successful sting prompted an apparently delighted Prins to ask Dearlove whether Banks was “one of yours” – in other words, an MI6-linked operative.

A historical turning point has just occurred ... and it is not the Trump assassination attempt

globinfo freexchange   The biggest crime of our century, that is, the genocide of Palestinians by the Zionists has been almost forgotten. And while everyone is distracted by the war in Ukraine and the assassination attempt against Donald Trump, a development of historic proportions took place. The development either escaped from the corporate media radars in the West, or, deliberately ignored.   The integration of Russia's and India's payment systems marks the definite rejection of the Western SWIFT system, dominated by the US dollar, and the complete detachment of BRICS from this system.   As Kitco News reported recently:   The trend of de-dollarization continues to gain traction despite many analysts saying the threat is overblown as India and Russia have announced a new partnership that will see their respective payment systems – India’s RuPay and Russia’s MIR – integrated to allow for seamless cross-border transactions without the need for U.S. dollars.  The partner

Exposed: How Biden & Ukraine’s Fascists Worked Together to Block Peace with Russia

BreakThrough News   Newly released treaty negotiation documents show that Ukraine and Russia were very close to ending the war—more than two years ago, in April 2022. But U.S. imperialists and NATO have worked with and strengthened the right-wing in Ukraine to achieve their long-term goals in the region, including endless war, no matter how many people die. Brian Becker is joined by Eugene Puryear, co-host of The Freedom Side , to discuss the newly revealed documents showing how the Ukraine war nearly ended two years ago but were sabotaged by the intervention of the White House and the Ukrainian far-right. They discuss how Ukraine’s economy has been totally mortgaged to U.S. and European interests.

Israeli documents show expansive government effort to shape US discourse around Gaza war

As the Gaza war rages, Israeli funds target US college campuses and push to redefine antisemitism in US law   by Lee Fang and Jack Poulson   Part 3 - Substantial Israeli government involvement in American politics   Haaretz and the New York Times recently revealed that Chikli’s ministry had tapped a public relations firm to secretly pressure American lawmakers. The firm used hundreds of fake accounts posting pro-Israel or anti-Muslim content on X (formerly Twitter), Facebook and Instagram. (The diaspora affairs ministry denied involvement in the campaign, which reportedly provided about $2m to an Israeli firm for the social media posts.) But that effort is only one of many such campaigns coordinated by the ministry, which has received limited news coverage. The ministry of diaspora affairs and its partners compile weekly reports based on tips from pro-Israel US student groups, some of which receive funding from Israeli government sources . For example, Hillel International, a co-foun

The time has come for liberal capitalists to test their favorite puppet against Trump

Genocide Joe to be replaced by Kamala Harris   globinfo freexchange   Genocide Joe was originally the convenient pick of the liberal capitalists and his election was just a victorious battle for them in the ongoing capitalist civil war . Yet, everybody knew (and it was more than obvious), that old-Joe has now become a lost case for the corporate Democrats and their liberal wealthy donors.   After four years, the time has come for the liberal capitalists to test Kamala Harris against Trump.  The timing couldn't be more convenient. Especially after the Trump assassination attempt, it was certain that Genocide Joe was finished. The greatest demagogue and popular manipulator wouldn't let the opportunity go wasted. From the first moment, he took advantage of the incident and boosted his image as a political "anti-establishment" hero in the eyes of the conservative Americans. And after Biden's disastrous performances in various debates and public appearances, everyone k

Israeli documents show expansive government effort to shape US discourse around Gaza war

As the Gaza war rages, Israeli funds target US college campuses and push to redefine antisemitism in US law   by Lee Fang and Jack Poulson   Part 1 - Redefining antisemitism   Last November, just weeks into the war in Gaza, Amichai Chikli, a brash, 42-year-old Likud minister in the Israeli government, was called into the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, to brief lawmakers on what could be done about rising anti-war protests from young people across the United States, especially at elite universities. “ I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again now, that I think we should, especially in the United States, be on the offensive,” argued Chikli. Chikli has since led a targeted push to counter critics of Israel. The Guardian has uncovered evidence showing how Israel has relaunched a controversial entity as part of a broader public relations campaign to target US college campuses and redefine antisemitism in US law. Seconds after a smoke alarm subsided during the hearing, Chikli assured the l
