Leaked docs reveal how Reuters charity secretly serves as a tool for British influence across the world

By Kit Klarenberg, an investigative journalist exploring the role of intelligence services in shaping politics and perceptions.

The Reuters Foundation is a renowned charity attached to the famed news conglomerate. But recently leaked files show how it is assisting the UK government to serve London’s interests in all corners of the globe.

Among a tranche of secret UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) files recently leaked by hacktivist collective Anonymous are papers indicating that Thomson Reuters Foundation (TRF) – the “charitable” arm of the Thomson Reuters news conglomerate – has engaged in information warfare initiatives on behalf of Whitehall.

These endeavors form part of a wider effort to demonize, destabilize, and isolate Russia, at home and abroad. At Whitehall’s direction, TRF has covertly cultivated Russian journalists, established influence networks within and outside Russia, and promoted pro-Whitehall, anti-Moscow propaganda in Russian-speaking regions.

These activities have been comprehensively exposed by journalist Max Blumenthal. TRF tenders for the projects submitted to the FCDO were signed by its CEO Monique Villa, former managing director of Reuters Media and now adviser to Thomson Reuters’ CEO,  suggesting the company itself is directly involved in the cloak-and-dagger operations of its ‘non-profit’ offshoot at the highest levels.

The number of “new cases” reported is tumbling in many countries around the world, and has been for over a month. So what’s causing it?

from Off G.. shared with thanks!

The scary red numbers are all going down.

Check any newspaper or covid tracking website you want. Cases. Deaths. Hospitalisations. They’re all going down, sharply, and have been for weeks, especially in the US and UK.

So, why would that be?

Pundits across the media world have made suggestions – from vaccines to lockdowns – but there’s only one that makes any real sense.

Laurel writes for a medium that after publishing this column and receiving complaints from “feminist collectives”, it was eliminated without giving any explanation to the author. Seeing the level of violence that was exercised in social networks against Láurel, we requested her permission to publish said text in our spaces that was kindly granted to us by media friends with the Broken Column. This is also our way of giving a voice to those who artfully murder and remain invisible.

Here is the full text of Láurel, with whom we stand in solidarity and embrace each one of those who today say, No to violence and our invisibility.

Transphobic discourse, the true Trojan horse of feminism

by Laurel Miranda (illustrations added)

”If you are a feminist and do not stand up to those who in the name of this political movement violate trans and non-binary people, I am afraid to tell you that it is called complicity.

In the same way that we speak of the patriarchal pact to denounce the complicity between men, as well as their silence or passivity in the face of the misogynistic acts of their fellow men, we can and must also speak of those cisgender feminist women who decide to ignore the transphobic acts of their alleged wrestling partners.

Biden promised to forgive student loans, hand out $2,000 stimulus checks, raise minimum wage, get the kids out of cages, and help America heal … Instead, he is continuing the wars in the Middle East, bolstering the police state, and giving billions to the military industrial complex. Oh, and kids are still in cages.

In her first interview after her defeat in the 2016 presidential election by Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton called on the United States to bomb Syria. Only hours later, in lock step with his formal alleged ‘rival,’ Trump sent 59 Tomahawk missiles hurling into Al-Shayrat air base in Homs, Syria using two US Navy destroyers. This illegal act of war was carried out in less than three months into his presidency on April 4, 2017.

Why Bombing Syria is Probably Illegal,

This strike came with zero approval from Congress, zero investigation into the alleged crimes of Assad, and, in spite of Trump’s longstanding history standing against US meddling in Syria.

Dimitris Koufontinas, who has been on hunger strike since the 8th of January, and whose health is now in critical condition, is facing his calculated extermination, a clear political choice made by the government of New Democracy.

The state mechanisms, which have been investing in fascistization, brutal exploitation and the intensification of repression against any form of social resistance, attacking constantly the anarchist movement, are now carving a horrific reality on the body of the hunger striker.

RT video… 27 Feb, 2021 08:02..”Athens police teargassed protesters as clashes erupted during a rally in support of Dimitris Koufontinas, a convicted hitman from the now-disbanded Greek far-left ‘17 November’ organization ..The terrorist group was active between 1975 and the early 2000s. It committed over 20 high-profile killings, with Turkish diplomats, a British military attache and even a CIA station chief among its victims.”.

A reality in which the life of a political prisoner is weighted on the scale of the far right political agenda of a regime in generalized decay. These power-thirsty tyrants, who have decided to condemn the hunger striker to death, are the ones who have been imposing impoverishment and concentration camps, where small children are endangered by cold, and have bred trafficking in every form, from sexual exploitation to child abuse.

They are the ones who have been arresting and beating hundreds of people every day all over the country, because they “dare” to protest.

The prohibition of political protests, while the workers are crowded in the working places and public transportation, proves that, for those in power, the pandemic is nothing else but a tool of imposition. The deaths of thousands of people during the pandemic are the result of their policies, oriented towards profit and control, that led to the dissolution of the public health system and have imposed the overcrowding workplaces and markets.
