Paul Mason Says Bellingcat Launders Information for Western Intelligence Agencies
The Grayzone has published leaked email communications between faux-left British commentator and aspiring parliamentarian Paul Mason and a shady intelligence contractor named Amil Khan which plainly shows the two plotting to use state power to subvert anti-imperialist media outlets like Consortium News and Grayzone, as well as "far left rogue academics" and the broader left more generally.
Mason has obliquely authenticated the contents of the emails with a weird, rambling Medium post claiming to have been victimized by a "Russian hack-and-leak operation." The post does not deny the veracity of the emails. Instead, Mason bizarrely claims that they "may be altered or faked," as though they are not his own personal communications whose accuracy he could instantly deny if they were altered or faked in any way.
It would take a very silly person indeed to look at a bunch of authenticated emails showing a major British media figure conspiring with an intelligence contractor to subvert the antiwar left, and then conclude that the correct response to this would be to get angry at the Russians.
Western intelligence agencies have numerous pathways through which they can get information, misinformation and disinformation into the mainstream press without people noticing that the news media are publishing government propaganda. Mason's emails are yet more evidence that Bellingcat is one such pipeline for intelligence cartel psyops.
If there's something the cartel wants published, they launder it through proxies like Bellingcat and then the news media run it saying it's been verified by an "independent" "OSINT" service. And presto, you've got yourself some good old fashioned Langley-cooked spook propaganda.
This doesn't mean that everything Bellingcat publishes is entirely false (the best propaganda is generally a mixture of truth with half-truth, distortion, lies by omission, and the removal of context and perspective), it just means it's generally untrustworthy. Because it operates at the direction, knowingly or unknowingly, of sociopathic government agencies whose only interest is in domination and control.
