For the second episode in our new podcast format, hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Asa Winstanley are joined by Max Blumenthal, editor of the Grayzone Project and co-host of the excellent Moderate Rebels podcast. As someone with a long Electronic Intifada history, there was a lot to discuss with Max, and the conversation is wide-ranging and global in outlook. We take a look at the Integrity Initiative, a covert disinformation operation funded with millions of pounds from the British government’s foreign and defense ministries. The Grayzone Project has done some of the leading reporting on this shady outfit. “If you want to understand not just Russiagate but how our media is acting as a permanent arm of the national security state, both in the UK and the US, you have to understand the Integrity Initiative scandal,” Blumenthal says. Run out of the offices of an obscure London think tank called the Institute for Statecraft, just what is this “initiative” up to? How is it working to subvert the Labour Party, the Democrats and the wider left in the UK and the US? Exactly what is its right-wing extremist agenda?
