University college closely linked to the British military and intelligence community, and similar spooks overseas.

A prestigious university located in the heart of London, King’s College has, in its own words, “a number of contracts and agreements with various departments within government, including the Cabinet Office, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and the Ministry of Defence.”

An investigation by independent journalist Alan Macleod concluded, while stressing that "this was an investigation into just one department in one school in one college of the University of London".

the links to the highest levels of power were so profound and so manifold that it often seemed harder to find someone in the department who was not linked to military or intelligence communities. Thus, one could be forgiven for mistaking the Department of War Studies for a department of war mongers.

CIA

A 2009 study published by the CIA spoke of how beneficial it can be to "use universities as a means of intelligence training," noting that, "exposure to an academic environment, such as the Department of War Studies at King’s College London, can add several elements that may be harder to provide within the government system."

An 2018 report, "Weaponizing news: RT, Sputnik and targeted disinformation" analyzes Russian state-backed media outlets and accuses them of carrying out a campaign of "information-psychological warfare" over its coverage of contentious events such as the alleged Skripal poisoning and the wars in Ukraine and Syria. While praising the work of Bellingcat and disinfo outlet Prop or Not, it concludes by advising that the West must "use technical means to prevent propaganda."

In 2013, former Secretary of Defence and former CIA Director, Leon Panetta, visited the Department of War Studies, where he expressed his gratitude to the unit. "I deeply appreciate the work that you do to train and to educate our future national security leaders, many of whom are in this audience," he said, before adding that it was those young leaders who must ensure that NATO had the creativity, innovation and the commitment to develop and share capabilities in order to meet future security threats, citing the need to expand into tech, surveillance and cyberwarfare.

Department of War Studies

There exists a strong overlap between the staff of the Department of War Studies and the British deep state. Professor John Gearson, for example, was principal defence policy adviser to the Defense Select Committee at the House of Commons, a senior adviser to the Ministry of Defense, and taught terrorism and asymetric warfare to military officers at the U.K. Defense Academy.

Professor Michael Goodman is a current British Army reservist and formerly the Official Historian of the Joint Intelligence Committee, the body that oversees Britain’s intelligence organizations.

Institute of Psychiatry

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) provided more than £2-million to KCL’s Institute of Psychiatry for the years 2013-16 for a project which KCL is forbidden to mention in public without MOD approval. The project is managed "on behalf of the Secretary of State for Defence" and is for Phase 4 of a "wellbeing” study of veterans of Britain’s recent military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan". The project began in 2003.

Assange extradition

At the request of U.S. prosecution lawyers, Dr. Nigel Blackwood examined Julian Assange during two meetings in March, 2021. In his written submission to the court, he said that it would "not be unjust" to extradite Assange to the United States. Blackwood, a reader in forensic psychiatry at King’s College, told the extradition hearing in London that Julian Assange was suffering only "moderate" depression, rebutting other experts’ findings.

Blackwood leads The Forensic Research Group (FRG) at KCL — and which "explores the complex relationship between mental disorders and crime" — is conducting research which uses data from Phase 3 of the MOD-funded project (see above). In addition, the Forensic Research Group works "in collaboration" with the King’s Centre for Military Health Research (KCMHR) which is part funded by the MOD and was "originally funded by the US Department of Defense".

 

An event carried out

Event	Location	Description
Pacific Eclipse	Washington DC Phoenix Honolulu	December 2019 pandemic planning exercise. Using mathematical modelling to create scary-sounding predictions for a smallpox epidemic, the real purpose of the exercise was to indoctrinate the participants from 200 organizations in the necessity of coerced "interventions" to avoid a doomsday scenario. The indoctrination came to fruition during the fake official narrative during Covid.
