This is the link which leads to the full text of the report by Colonel Sam Gardiner: "Truth from These Podia: Summary of a Study of Strategic Influence, Perception Management,
Strategic Information Warfare and Strategic Psychological Operations
in Gulf II" which is the best concise account I have so far seen of the manipulation of public opinion in the democracies of Britain and the United States by the intelligence services and governments. READ AND CIRCULATE THIS WIDELY

Colonel Sam Gardiner's account of how war was sold to the public in both the Afghanistan and Iraq campaigns is essential reading.

Its implications are chilling: what it records is how public money and state resources were deployed in a deliberate US and UK campaign which amounted to "psychological warfare" directed against the people of these democracies.

Please read and distribute this as widely as possible. In particular if you have contacts with serious journalists please tune them in to this story.
