Matt Kennard EXPOSES Syria propaganda and UK’s role in Gaza genocide

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Matt Kennard, co-founder of Declassified UK and author of ‘The Racket: A Rogue Reporter vs The American Empire’. He discusses the role of Western mainstream media as an adjunct of state power, the media’s propaganda coverage of the Al Qaeda cutout group HTS’ recent offensive in Syria against Syrian government forces, the organizations fighting ‘disinformation’ being funded by governments to delegitimize new voices as the mainstream media loses its hold on the narrative, his experience at Columbia University’s journalism school and the role of elite journalism schools to create the next level of journalists to defend the US empire, the propaganda reports that Israel would prefer Bashar Assad to the Al Qaeda cutout groups, Al Jazeera’s pro-regime-change coverage of the Syrian war and Qatar’s support for extremist groups, and the rise of China and how it has opened up space for governments in Latin America, Africa, and Asia to move away from relying on the US and its institutions. In the second half of the interview, he discusses the UK’s direct participation in Israel’s genocidal carnage in Gaza, the UK’s spy flights over Gaza and crucial intelligence sharing with Israel, the destruction of Jeremy Corbyn by elements of the British State and the Israel lobby and whether the same could be repeated again, the repression against independent journalists under UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, the activities of the US military and intelligence services in the UK and the black hole in reporting, and much more.
