  • Inside the Temple of Covert Propaganda: the Integrity Initiative and the UK’S Scandalous Information War
    Inside the Temple of Covert Propaganda: The Integrity Initiative and the UK’s Scandalous Information War By Mohamed Elmaazi and Max Blumenthal Region: Europe Global Research, December 20, 2018 Theme: Intelligence, Politics Gray Zone Project 17 December 2018 Recent hacked documents have revealed an international network of politicians, journalists, academics, researchers and military officers, all engaged in highly deceptive covert propaganda campaigns funded by the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), NATO, Facebook and hardline national security institutions. This “network of networks”, as one document refers to them, centers around an ironically named outfit called the Integrity Initiative. And it is all overseen by a previously unknown England-based think tank registered in Scotland, the Institute for Statecraft, which has operated under a veil of secrecy. The whole operation appears to be run by, and in conjunction with, members of British military intelligence. According to David Miller, professor of political sociology in the school of policy studies at the University of Bristol and the director of the Organization for Propaganda Studies, the Integrity Initiative “appears to be a military directed push.” “The most senior government people are professional propagandists and spooks,” Miller explained. “The ‘charity’ lead on this [Chris Donnelly] was also appointed as a colonel in military intelligence at the beginning of the project — a truly amazing fact that suggests this is a military intelligence cut out.” A minister for the UK FCOhas officially confirmed that it has been funding the Integrity Network. In addition to conducting diplomacy, the FCO oversees both the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) the UK equivalent to the National Security Agency, and the Secret Intelligence Services (SIS) commonly known as MI6.

  • Middle East Peace: the Principles Behind the Process
    Middle East Council MIDDLE EAST PEACE: THE PRINCIPLES BEHIND THE PROCESS Sir Alan Duncan MP A CMEC Palestine Program publication May 2016 FOREWORD The turbulence that has swept through the Middle East over the last five years continues – and in many cases the winds of change have brought only violence and humanitarian tragedy. Huge challenges remain. The region remains wracked by the competing dynamics of political Islam, tyranny and sectarian violence. But despite all this, the plight of the Palestinians remains unresolved as the central injustice of the region. Illegal settlements are, as each day passes, destroying the viability of a Palestine state, and with it all hope of a just and lasting peace for both Palestinians and Israelis. This is a risk that we, the US, Israel, and the Middle East region as a whole simply cannot afford to take. We in Great Britain must reenergise our efforts in pursuit of Palestine statehood and Middle East Peace . This excellent speech makes that point, and more. Sir Alan Duncan MP has a commendable track record of interest in the Palestine issue and I am delighted to see his powerful words published here. The Rt Hon Sir Nicholas Soames MP President Conservative Middle East Council Conservative Middle East Council MIDDLE EAST PEACE: THE PRINCIPLES BEHIND THE PROCESS INTRODUCTION This is a transcript of the speech delivered by The Rt Hon Sir Alan Duncan MP to RUSI on Tuesday 14th October 2014. May I start by expressing my gratitude to RUSI for providing me with a platform from which I can express my considered thoughts on an issue that has concerned – not to say, troubled – me for over thirty years.

DEVAMLILIK MI KIRILMA MI? BREXIT SONRASI DÖNEMDE BİRLEŞİK KRALLIK- TÜRKİYE İLİŞKİLERİNİN KARŞILAŞTIRMALI DIŞ POLİTİKA ANALİZİ Görkem ALTINÖRS* Özet Bu çalışmanın amacı Brexit’in Birleşik Krallık-Türkiye ilişkileri üzerindeki etkisini karşılaştırmalı dış politika analizi ile incelemektir. Bu bağlamda ikili ilişkilerin Brexit sonrasında bir devamlılığa mı yoksa kırılmaya mı işaret ettiği sorgulanmaktadır. Analiz için resmi demeçler veri olarak kullanılmıştır. Haziran 2016’da gerçekleşen Brexit referandumunun Birleşik Krallık dış politikası üzerinde çok büyük bir etkiye sahip olduğu ileri sürülebilir. Bu etkinin boyutları ve sınırlarını karşılaştırmalı olarak incelemek sürecin neler getireceğini anlamak açısından son derece önemlidir. Aynı dönemde Türkiye’nin dış politikasının da Suriye’deki iç savaş ve mülteci krizi gibi nedenlerle Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ve Avrupa Birliği ile çalkantılı bir süreç içerisinde olduğu görülmektedir. Bununla birlikte Temmuz 2016’da Türkiye’de başarısız bir darbe girişimi olmuştur. Bu süreç içerisinde gerçekleşen Birleşik Krallık-Türkiye yakınlaşması dikkate değerdir. Bu makalede bu yakınlaşma üç alt-başlık altında incelenmektedir: (1) Terörle mücadele, bölgesel güvenlik ve Suriye iç-savaşı, (2) Avrupa Birliği ve Kıbrıs ve (3) Ticaret ve Ekonomik İş-birliği. Bu çalışmanın ana argümanı ikili ilişkilerin Brexit sonrası dönemde bir kırılma göstermedikleri, aksine güçlenerek devam ettiği üzerine kuruludur.

Erdogan has been in power (first as Prime Minister and then as President) since 2002, and has made no secret of his ambition. The reforms have already been passed by Turkey’s parliament, with the support of the governing AK Party and the smaller nationalist MHP, but amid angry scenes.
