The Link Between Brexit And The US Election, MI6, Fake News And Dark Money

There are stories too numerous to mention of government collusion with the mainstream press to push their political causes but it has been a fact for some years that Journalists are routinely being fed false information by MI6 and MI5 and worse, the journalists themselves are in some instances indeed government operatives. Think this is the arena of conspiracy theories? Think again!

Back in June 2000 the Guardian newspaper was so concerned at the scale of the problem, they wrote a piece entitled “Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Journalist” where they accused British government spies for working as full-time journalists. The Guardian accused spooks of writing tendentious articles under false names or that the intelligence agency was planting propaganda stories on willing journalists who disguise their origin from their readers. And from here it starts to get a bit ‘dark’.
