Its the British who interfered in American politics, not Russia.

A bombshell domestic spy scandal has been unfolding in Britain, after hacked internal communications exposed a covert UK state military-intelligence psychological warfare operation targeting its own citizens and political figures in allied NATO countries under the cover of fighting “Russian disinformation.”

The leaked documents revealed a secret network of spies, prominent journalists and think-tanks colluding under the umbrella of a group called “Integrity Initiative” to shape domestic opinion—and to smear political opponents of the right-wing Tory government, including the leader of the opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn.

Until now, this Integrity Initiative domestic spy scandal has been ignored in the American media, perhaps because it has mostly involved British names. But it is clear that the influence operation has already been activated in the US. Hacked documents reveal that the Integrity Initiative is cultivating powerful allies inside the State Department, top DC think tanks, the FBI and the DHS, where it has gained access to Katharine Gorka and her husband, the fascist-linked cable news pundit Sebastian Gorka.

The Integrity Initiative has spelled out plans to expand its network across the US, meddling in American politics and recruiting “a new generation of Russia watchers” behind the false guise of a non-partisan charity. Moreover, the group has hired one of the most notorious American “perception management” specialists, John Rendon, to train its clusters of pundits and cultivate relationships with the media.
Back in the UK, Member of Parliament Chris Williamson has clamored for an investigation into the Integrity Initiative’s abuse of public money.

In a recent editorial, Williamson drew a direct parallel between the group’s collaboration with journalists and surreptitious payments the CIA made to reporters during the Cold War.

“These tactics resemble those deployed by the CIA in Operation Mockingbird that was launched at the height of the cold war in the early 1950s. Its aims included using the mainstream news media as a propaganda tool,” Williamson wrote.

“They manipulated the news agenda by recruiting leading journalists to write stories with the express purpose of influencing public opinion in a particular way,” the Labour parliamentarian continued. “Now it seems the British Establishment have dusted off the CIA’s old playbook and is intent on giving it another outing on this side of the Atlantic.”

Drats, we've been found out lads.
Lol. Let’s just go back to when we owned them.
interfering with foreign democracies is a fun activity anyone can get involved with, just because we're interfering with foreign democracies doesn't mean the Russians can't be having a go too.

This would be disturbing if true. Russia is powerful enough without NATO attacking each other.

But I am skeptical at the validity of your source.
One word, ******** okay I'll try again, male cow excrement.

Of course it's not, also it was the US government that ordered the twin towers to be destroyed, god really does exist and the earth is flat.
Is Hilary Clinton and the EU highly unpopular and out of touch? No, it must be the Russians...

The hypocrisy, dishonesty and stupidity of western powers complaining of interference into their democracy is staggering.

It’s not as if we ha e politicians en masse as part of a lobbying group called friends of Russia and fought wars on their behalf like we do with Saudi Arabia and [redacted] - (you know who is in charge if you’re not allowed to criticise them!)

Funny how no one notices or makes a big deal of this stuff until something benefits the side they don't like.

And this proves what exactly? This guy is one of Corbyn's Marxist, Russia loving cronies, why would I believe a thing he says?

SHUT IT DOWN

As for OP topic, this isn't really news. The CIA & MI5 have been spying and meddling in each other's elections for decades, because the MI5 & CIA serve the same people/interests. It's not "Britain" meddling in the USA. It's the MI5/CIA meddling in Britain/USA.

The Bilderbergers can only keep hold of power if they control both the USA and UK. Both countries have laws preventing their own agencies from meddling in their own elections etc though, in the USA if the CIA did it it'd be high treason. So they just have the MI5 do it for them. And the MI5 has the CIA spy on us and meddle for them.

China & Russia both own their own central banks so they have no sway over those countries.
