    because I believe that the Global Media freedom event was a project of the OIP, and that it represents a rapid new expansion of the FCO-deep state campaign against Russian information. A couple of weeks ago the CEO of Zinc wrote an article in the GuarDian supporting the 200,000 pound fine by OffCom against RT, and filled with anti-Russian disinformation. Around the same time, though I didn't discover it till more recently, an ABC series called "future tense" discussed various geopolitics with Edward Lucas, who is one of the IfS key men. This identifies the producer of that programme, Anthony Funnell, as a likely OIP partner. But just the other day Tony Kevin discovered that Bobo Lo, a member of the IfS "inner circle" on Russia, is due to speak here in a couple of weeks at the Lowy Institute, in discussion with various others.

    Things are hotting up in fact, as Today Mike pompeo and Mark Edler (?) are in Sydney talking to our FM and Defence minister "about joining the forces in the gulf to protect shipping".

    There was something else I stumbled on, by chance - from March 2016, note who is involved here:Bobo Lo, Peter Pomerantsev and Victor Madeira of the IfS.
