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.

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.

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.

Silenced: "Nick Clegg has signed exactly the same kind of severance agreement that Wynn Williams has. He’s not dishing any dirt because he’s been paid handsomely not to and because he’s still a believer."
"Britain is uniquely vulnerable among western nations to a corporate-style takeover of determined anti-democrats, our lack of constitutional protections makes us more vulnerable"

BBC News | Facebook whistle-blower sits in silence in panel discussion about her tell-all book
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Former Meta executive Sarah Wynn‑Williams, author of the tell‑all book *Careless People*, was forced to sit in silence during a Hay Festival panel after Meta obtained an interim arbitration order that legally prohibits her from promoting the book or speaking on certain topics, citing a binding agreement she signed while employed; investigative journalist Carole Cadwalladr and Columbia professor Tim Wu described the move as private censorship and a warning to other potential whistle‑blowers, while Meta insists the order is a lawful enforcement, not an attempt to silence her, highlighting ongoing tensions over whistle‑blower protections and the power of tech giants to curb criticism.

The Guardian | Meta whistleblower’s lawyer says he too is prevented from promoting her book by Dan Milmo Global technology editor
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Sarah Wynn‑Williams, the former Meta whistleblower, was obliged to sit in silence for an hour at the Hay Festival after an arbitration ruling barred her and her representatives from speaking about or promoting her memoir *Careless People*. Her lawyer, Ravi Naik, said the same ruling prevents him from marketing the book and warns that any breach could trigger “punitive” damages, while Meta, which denies the book’s allegations of defamation, sexual harassment and collusion with China, labels the work false and threatening legal action. The episode has drawn criticism from politicians—including Labour MP Lucy Haigh, who says Meta is driving Wynn‑Williams toward financial ruin, and Republican senator Josh Hawley, who claimed she faced a $50,000 fine for each public mention of Facebook—highlighting broader concerns about freedom of speech and corporate legal pressure.

Kiitos, Long Playn perjantaikirje uudesta (tai ehkä se on ollut olemassa jo pidemmän aikaa…) mediasta, nimeltään The Nerve. Viiden, aiemmin Guardianissa ja Observerissä työskennelleen naisen perustama. Tilasin kaksi kertaa viikossa tulevan sähköpostin ja luin jo yhden jutun, Tony Blairin Lähi-itä-messiasmissiota ja Big Tech- ja Trump-suhteita koskevan.
Virkistävää, joskin myös masentavaa.
”The Nerve is a fearless, female-founded media title set up by a collective of five former Guardian and Observer journalists who believe that the UK needs more truly independent journalism.”

Epstein Files: viviamo tutti nel “mondo di Jeffrey”
di Carole Cadwalladr, giornalista investigativa, dal suo blog How to Survive the Broligarchy Questo non è l'articolo su Jeffrey Epstein che avevo intenzione di scrivere. Ho faticato a scriverlo per tutta la settimana. Lunedì mi sono immersa negli oltre tre milioni di file che il dipartimento di Giustizia statunitense ha scaricato su internet una settimana fa e ho immediatamente trovato una dozzina di email sbalorditive che all'epoca non erano state rese pubbliche. (Molte di queste lo sono state, ma non tutte.) […]https://andream94.wordpress.com/2026/02/22/epstein-files-viviamo-tutti-nel-mondo-di-jeffrey/
