Craig #Murray in his piece “Beware the Cult of #Cadwalladr” in 2022! (https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2022/01/beware-the-cult-of-cadwalladr/)

Excellent post (though Murray was incorrect about Cadwalladr winning the Pulitzer), thanks for sharing. This part remains relevant even today:

Cadwalladr became a hero to British liberals because she provided a comfortable explanation of Brexit. Cadwalladr told them the people of England and Wales had rejected the EU solely because they had been duped, by internet manipulation of their thoughts and by those pesky Russians.

This was a much easier explanation to swallow than the truth, which is that the massive disparity between rich and poor in our neo-liberal economic societies had left most people alienated and feeling powerless, and prey to the anti-immigrant propaganda the media had been relentlessly pumping out for decades.

I am an outsider, and my perspective from afar could be wrong, but to me, the U.K. government seems to be acting like an occupying force "pacifying" the natives. For centuries, Britain did this to their overseas colonies; now that there are no colonies left, they seem to be turning on their own people.

Why are they doing this? I think because they are unable to accept the end of Western hegemony. With loot and surplus from the global south turning into a trickle, U.K. and other European countries are in a very bad situation. They have hardly any native deposits of fossil fuels or raw materials left to extract (Britain exhausted its rich coal deposits around 1920, and promptly lost its status as the hegemon; Germany exhausted its own coal deposits in the 1950s). They do not grow food in quantities sufficient to feed their own populations. They themselves have sabotaged cheap energy supplies from Russia, and egged on Ukraine to sabotage oil and gas supplies from the central Asian countries. The Iran war has cut off supplies from the Gulf region. Germany, the economic engine of Europe, has lost roughly 40% of its industry relative to 2008 levels (and half of those losses happened after the Nord Stream pipelines were destroyed). They all have ageing populations, with very low fertility rates. What's the solution then? Looks to me that the U.K. and the European leadership have decided to desperately gamble their last bits of energy and resources to invade and conquer Russia, the most resource-rich country on the planet. The hope seems to be to balkanize Russia and divide the spoils among themselves. I don't think they will succeed, there are just too many factors against it, but they have made their choice.

To this end, they seem to be turning their respective countries into bunker states, with their populations turned into civil guards operating under martial law. Only that could explain the persecution of their own people the governments of U.K., Germany etc. are engaging in.

She’s recently set up “The Nerve” with a bunch of her ex-Observer mates. They’re currently hammering away very hard at Farage!

I’m conflicted! I approve of her exposures on Palantir, assorted Tech Bros + Farage … but her alleged role in amplifying security state narratives is worrying to say the least!

By persistently generating and amplifying stories about sabotage by Russia, journalists like Cadwalladr are priming the British populace to accept the bunker state and the losses of freedom and liberty that go with it. (Note how enthusiastic the liberal media is about age-gating the internet, and about banning media outlets that propagate "wrong-think".) This strategy also primes the populace to accept a war with Russia.

Cadwalladr's tales about Russia creating and nourishing UKIP appeal to the liberals. They fulfill the role assigned to the liberal wing of the Vichy media. Her counterparts in the Murdoch and Springer media cater to the conservatives by peddling stories of savage immigrants. Together, they herd everyone into the bunker, and cheer the persecution of anyone who dissents.

That's how it appears, from where I stand.

As it happens, I’m quite sure you’re correct in this! She was previously unmasked as being intimately involved in the so-called “Integrity Initiative” by a number of journos including Cook in The #Grayzone & Craig #Murray in his piece “Beware the Cult of #Cadwalladr” in 2022! (https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2022/01/beware-the-cult-of-cadwalladr/)

“We know of course that Cadwalladr was an active participant in the Integrity Initiative, the covert #MOD and #FCO funded programme to place articles by journalists in the media setting out the security services narrative. The Institute for Statecraft, which runs the #IntegrityInitiative, is indeed a ‘contractor to the security services’”

When I wrote my previous post, I was mainly going by my impressions based on Carole Cadwalladr's Substack articles on Bilderberg that you had shared, especially her eulogisation of Anne Applebaum. I hadn't taken much notice of her other works, or looked for any pattern in them. However, recently, I came across this June 2022 post by Jonathan Cook, which establishes conclusively that Cadwalladr is part of what you call the "Vichy media". In addition to peddling the much-hyped but empty "Cambridge Analytica scoop" on Brexit in favour of NATO war-mongering, she has been part of the covert and overt operations to smear and character-assassinate Wikileaks in general and Julian Assange in particular. Cadwalladr was (is?) part of the "British Cluster" of the Integrity Initiative, the covert, British government-backed propaganda mill to wage online war on critics of imperialism.

Sharing just for your information.

It's interesting that even a journalist as deeply embedded in the Intelligence-Media nexus as Cadwalladr now finds herself out of a job. To me, it is yet more evidence that the imperial core now has no use for its liberal facade.

This is quite the the story, by Carole #Cadwalladr:

Farage, the money launderer and me: a decade of denial
https://www.thenerve.news/p/nigel-farage-carole-cadwalladr-brexit-party-arron-banks-george-cottrell-funding-electoral-commission?utm_source=www.thenerve.news&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=farage-brexit-and-me-carole-cadwalladr-s-untold-story-weekend-edition&_bhlid=b97f01ecc964a6072a503ad7b91ac6ea4824b426

Carole Cadwalladr's basic framework for today's world is that of liberal capitalism gone wrong. She doesn't think there is anything wrong with capitalism itself, or even with imperialism, as long as it is of the "liberal" variety. (Read her deleted tweet mentioned in this article, as one point of evidence.)

Her "expose" of present-day Bilderberg comes from the same perspective. She believes that the Peter Thiel coterie has hijacked the good old West, causing it to discard liberalism and "good capitalism", and that the coterie now pushes that agenda at Bilderberg.

Also note that in the same report (on Bilderberg), she flaunts her fandom of Anne Applebaum. This is the same Anne Applebaum who, all the way back in 2002, advocated for Israel to target and kill Palestinian journalists. Two years after that advocacy, Applebaum won the Pulitzer Prize. She is today a highly decorated "journalist" and a purported historian. She sits on the board of Columbia University. You can read Adam Johnson's March 2025 piece for what that may signal to students of Arab origin. Cadwalladr is supposedly a fierce critic of Israel's slaughter of journalists today, but she cannot draw any line from her idol Applebaum's advocacy for precisely this kind of slaughter to its industry-scale implementation today.

All in all, I don't think Cadwalladr's perspective is helpful for anti-imperial and anti-capitalist folks. Frankly, @GrumpyOldFart , I am surprised that you consider Cadwalladr's work worth sharing, even if it sounds critical of the Peter Thiel coterie. Even as an investigative journalist, she is sloppy and bombastic. (A Kit Klarenberg she is not.) She is pretty much on the spectrum of what you call the "Vichy media". (You don't otherwise get nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.) She does not belong in the same league as a Ramzy Baroud or a Klarenberg or many of the other folks whose work you routinely share here. (I do appreciate your posts sharing all those perspectives.)

In June 2025, Nel Bonilla did, from a German perspective, a less dramatic but far more informative and perceptive deep dive into Bilderberg and other conferences of that ilk. I recommend that as a superior alternative to Cadwalladr's post.

Carole #Cadwalladr hat es wieder auf den Punkt gebracht. Auch sie bezieht sich wieder auf Vaclav #Havel, um die Ereignisse in #Minnesota zu beschreiben.

Neu war mir, dass NYPD Beamte den #ICE Agenten die Masken heruntergerissen haben um sie zu kenntlich zu machen. Es scheint also noch nicht alles verloren in den #USA. Auch ihr Interview mit #Kagan sagt so einiges aus. Selbst die Politiker haben Angst.

British journalist Carole #Cadwalladr who exposed #CambridgeAnalytica is on the #DailyShow with Jon Stewart explaining that what tech bros are doing right now with our data is theft and therefore illegal.

This is not news, but the fact our governments are not defending us and are actually working in collaboration with the tech bros should be making the alarm bells go off in all are heads.

We have to act now.

“We are already living in an architecture of totalitarianism”, says Carole Cadwalladr. She knows what she’s talking about (Google her). She argues we all need to urgently strengthen our privacy protections.

“We are watching the collapse of the international order in real time, and this is just the start,” says investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr. In a searing talk, she details a fast-moving technological coup and the rise of the “broligarchy”: an unprecedentedly powerful class of tech executives (like Elon Musk) who are complicit in dismantling democracy and enabling authoritarian control across the world. She shares a guide on how to digitally disobey in this age of runaway corporate power, data harvesting and mass surveillance — and reminds you that you have more power than you think.

“We are already living in an architecture of totalitarianism”, says Carole Cadwalladr. She knows what she’s talking about (Google her). She argues we all need to urgently strengthen our privacy protections.

📺 Carole Cadwalladr po 3 latach procesów sądowych SLAPP, wytoczonych jej za ujawnienie afery Cambridge Analitica, wróciła na TED. Przestrzega nas, opisując dosadnie to, co się teraz dzieje. Zamach w wykonaniu techbros i Trumpa. Broligarchii.

‘#TED is ground zero of the #AI gold rush. But there was also cheerleading and l’ve been overwhelmed by huge love and support from others who see exactly what is happening. It’s the weirdest time to be here.

And it was the weirdest energy from an audience of any talk I’ve ever given. But then, it was intended to make them uncomfortable.

Politics is technology now.

#SiliconValley is desperate to deny that, but it can’t and nor can we.’

Carole #Cadwalladr is one very brave investigative journalist. Last time she did a TED talk in 2019 it almost ended her career, took the roof from over her head and severely impacted her mental well-being.

But she’s back.

Talking truth to power.

The talk is less than 20 mins. It’s definitely worth your time.

Carole #Cadwalladr is back! She was among the first and bravest journalists calling out #CambridgeAnaytica social media impact, she identified Brexit targeted propaganda as a dry run for the 2016 US elections, and survived a year-long court case against her.

She's at #TED again for an update on our descent into the Broligarchy.

"There is an inability to process, accept and confront the dangerous new #reality we are in and to focus on the big picture and the pivot of #history that’s occurred in the last two weeks."
Carole #Cadwalladr, one of the great investigative #journalists of our time, about the #broligarchy that's seizing power in the #US and elsewhere.
