MI6 chief thanks Russian state television for its 'help' in encouraging Russians to spy for the UK
MSN ^ | 12-12 | By EMMA BURROWS

Posted on 12/12/2023 11:15:04 AM PST by dennisw

On Monday, Moore tweeted that the British foreign intelligence agency had been “puzzling over how to get my message to our target audience in Russia — we never thought Russian state TV would step in to help." “Thanks folks,” he added.

Mark Galeotti, an expert in the Russian security services at University College London, told The Associated Press the translation and broadcast of Moore’s comments was “a pretty serious gaffe.”

Butina’s viewers are “likely to be the kind of people that British intelligence would be interested in,” Galeotti said, adding that he would not discount the prospect of the message being successful. "Intelligence work is about throwing crumbs out onto the water” and hoping someone will nibble, he said.

Butina introduced the clip at the start of an hourlong program on Channel 1 in September about the MI6 chief and appeared to scoff at the suggestion that Russians would spy for the U.K.

Accusing Moore of employing “cheap recruiting methods," she questioned whether he was seriously asking Russians “to buy into this shameless provocation?"

Butina is a former covert Russian agent who spent more than a year in prison in the United States after admitting that she sought to infiltrate conservative U.S. political groups and promote Russia’s agenda around the time that Donald Trump rose to power.

Yes, they have a long history of being propaganda agencies for foreign countries. Going at least as far back as WWII. They had agents in Berlin, who spewed out the NAZI party line.

There are records of that, if you like I can send you a link about it.

And they never ever tell the “real truth”

Surpisingly, Wikipedia is actually good for something on this political question:

AP collaboration with Nazi Germany

Further information: Collaboration with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy § Business collaboration, and Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda

The AP collaborated with Nazi Germany and gave to it access to its photographic archives for its antisemitic Nazi propaganda.] AP also cooperated with the Nazi regime through censorship.

In 2017, the German historian Norman Domeier of the University of Vienna brought to wider attention the deal between the AP and the Nazi government related to the interchange of press photos during the period in which the United States were at war with Nazi Germany. This relationship involved the Bureau Laux, run by the Waffen-SS photographer Helmut Laux.

The mechanism for this interchange involved a courier flying to Lisbon and back each day transporting photos from and for Nazi Germany’s wartime enemy, the United States, via diplomatic pouch. The transactions were initially conducted at the AP bureau under Luiz Lupi in Lisbon, and from 1944, when the exchange via Lisbon took too long, also at the AP bureau in Stockholm under Eddie Shanke.

Here, as a cover, the Swedish agency, Pressens Bild, was involved as an intermediary. An estimated 40,000 photos were exchanged between the enemies in this way.

The AP was kicked out of Nazi Germany when the United States entered World War II in December 1941.

My pleasure.

I think the wheels of the Clown Car of the Globalist Cabal are beginning to fly off.

The pieces fit with the truth.

They never fit with lies.
