Leaked Ambassador’s Cables Expose British Interference in U.S.
Policymaking, 2020 Elections
Monday, July 8, 2019
The exposé published yesterday
afternoon by the U.K. Daily Mail based
on two years of leaked secret diplomatic cables sent back to London by Her
Majesty’s Ambassador to the U.S., Sir Kim Darroch, demonstrates, as this news
agency has uniquely proven, that the only foreign intelligence interference in
the U.S. elections is that of the United Kingdom—and that its intent is to undo
the Presidency of Donald Trump.
According to the leaked cables, in discussing Iran, Ambassador
Darroch insinuated that the British control a hawkish group of “Donald
whisperers” who have President Trump’s ear. Darroch stated that Trump was never
onboard with a military response to the recent drone downing by Iran, but that
a new incident, involving the loss of American lives, could trigger a U-turn,
provided the British continue to “flood the zone” of advice available to the
President.
The latest revelations lead to some crucial questions: Who are
these British controlled advisers? Is there a direct pipeline from the British
Foreign Office? Darroch also claimed that the British have penetrated and
cultivated the circle of Trump friends. If so, who are they and how was this
done? With regard to Iran, shouldn’t President Trump order an investigation
now, centered on British-controlled networks in the area, aimed at preventing
and exposing any British-orchestrated new provocation?
These questions must be urgently answered in a full investigation,
not only in the interests of U.S. national sovereignty and national security,
but also in the interests of world peace.
Darroch—Knight Commander of the Order of St. Michael and St.
George, a career intelligence officer-diplomat who served arch-imperialist Tony
Blair as Ambassador to the European Union from 2007 to 2011, and David Cameron
as National Security Adviser from January 2012-September 2015—has been
ambassador in Washington, since January 2016. That is, Sir Kim has been the
case officer on this side of “the Pond” for British intelligence MI6’s
Christopher Steele-centered operation against Donald Trump’s 2016 candidacy and
subsequent Presidency.
Darroch is well-connected to the British intelligence apparatus
which ran that attempted coup. When he was National Security Adviser, he led
the committee which recruited Robert Hannigan to head GCHQ, Britain’s equivalent
of the NSA, which passed on the “intelligence” used to start the “Russiagate”
coup fraud against candidate Trump, and he regularly dined with employees of
Hakluyt, the firm of “retired” top MI6 officers also caught in the Steele
operation. As Ambassador, he vouched that Steele was “absolutely” legitimate,
when U.S. officials queried him.
No cables were leaked from the crucial 2016 period—at least not
yet. But those now exposed by the Daily Mail, spanning from 2017 to this past
June, expose how Great Britain has not ended, but has escalated the information
warfare operation begun with Trump’s emergence as a genuine contender for the
Presidency. In 2017, Darroch assured London the allegations of collusion
between Trump and Russia still “cannot be ruled out.” In recent cables,
Ambassador Darroch warned London to not overestimate the results of Trump’s
June 2019 visit with the Queen (“this is still the land of ‘America First’”).
“Don’t write him off,” he wrote; there is a “credible path” for Trump to win
the 2020 election.
Darroch advised London in the summer of 2017 that Britain should
adopt what he called a “flood the zone” strategy of cultivating British assets
in the U.S. to create a controlled environment of advice and intelligence
around the President—and the American people. In this cable, the Daily Mail
wrote,
“[t]he diplomat also highlighted how the President spends his
evenings phoning his friends outside the administration ‘seeking reinforcement
or a different take’. Many of these friends have been ‘cultivated’ by the
British, Sir Kim boasted.
“‘It’s important to “flood the zone”: you want as many as possible
of those who Trump consults to give him the same answer,’ he wrote. ‘So we need
to be creative in using all the channels available to us through our
relationships with his Cabinet, the White House staff, and our contacts among
his outside friends.’”
In another cable, in June, Darroch acknowledged that President
Trump was not “fully onboard” on any attack on Iran, and is worried that to
launch one would violate his 2016 campaign promises. But the President is now
“surrounded by a more hawkish group of advisers.... Just one more Iranian
attack somewhere in the region could trigger yet another Trump U-turn.
Moreover, the loss of a single American life would probably make a critical
difference,” Darroch wrote.
