Army spied on lockdown critics: Sceptics, including our own Peter Hitchens, long suspected they were under surveillance. Now we've obtained official records that prove they were right all along

A shadowy Army unit secretly spied on British citizens who criticised the Government’s Covid lockdownpolicies, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Military operatives in the UK’s ‘information warfare’ brigade were part of a sinister operation that targeted politicians and high-profile journalists who raised doubts about the official pandemic response.

They compiled dossiers on public figures such as ex-Minister David Davis, who questioned the modelling behind alarming death toll predictions, as well as journalists such as Peter Hitchens and Toby Young. Their dissenting views were then reported back to No 10.

Documents obtained by the civil liberties group Big Brother Watch, and shared exclusively with this newspaper, exposed the work of Government cells such as the Counter Disinformation Unit, based in the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, and the Rapid Response Unit in the Cabinet Office.

Secretive Whitehall units have been monitoring government critics’ speech online – including MPs, academics, journalists, human rights campaigners and the public – under the guise of combatting ‘misinformation’.

Our report, Ministry of Truth: the secretive government units spying on your speech, reveals for the first time the truth behind the government’s five anti-fake news units and how their mission of ‘countering disinformation’ has quickly turned into countering dissent across the UK.

We also expose the government’s use of the British Army to scan their own citizens’ speech online, with exclusive testimony from a whistleblower who worked in the “secretive information warfare machine”, the 77th Brigade.

We’ve found that lots of members of the public were included in ‘counter-disinformation’ reports held by central government, simply for criticising the government. Anyone could be affected.

Did they spy on you? Find out if any of your social media posts have been monitored by the Ministry of Truth by exercising your legal right to request your data. It’s free, and takes about two minutes.

Our taxes paid for an army unit to *spy* on British citizens - MPs, scientists and journalists including me - who criticised Covid lockdowns and vaccine passports. This is outrageous in a democracy.

 

knowing what i know about what we are up against i would be surprised to find that they weren't doing this sort of thing

 

zbigneu bzrezinzki called for a file to be made on EVERY single citizen as part of his vision for the 'technotronic era' including all those soldiers now acting as keyboard warriors as well as the politicians, the police, the journalists etc

 

they need a file on all of us that is centrally controlled to form the basis of our digital identity so that they can police us through a social credit score system. I'd be stunned if there wasn't already a social credit score system up and running in the shadows just waiting to be legalised through statutes and brought into the light

Peter Hitchens said vehemently,  time and time again that he would not take the vax under any circumstances, and low and behold, not long after, in Feb 2021,  he succumbed and took the jabs, to get a' vax passport' that never existed anyway! 🤔 I lost any respect for him afterwards!😠A 'Judas Goat' of the first order!👎

Exactly.

 

If the "army" were "spying" on him, it would only have to been to make sure Hitchens was pushing the fake narrative like the seasoned controlled-opposition he is.

or maybe they were targeting him with psychological methods to push him to get vaccinated

This entire thread is just quoting a succession of gatekeepers - all of them are fakes.  Peter Hitchens wilted and took the vaccine.

 

I am not shocked the Army is spying on dissidents.  They do work for the state.

 

Hitchens has a lot of Kremlinist takes, and has admitted that he was a Bolshevik.

That doesn't worry me too much.  For what it's worth, I was a serious Orthodox Marxist at about the same age - younger actually - and some of what I believed would make today's 'Woke' people look moderate by comparison.  When you're young and politically-engaged, you do believe in daft things.  Conversely, I became an ethno-nationalist before it was fashionable.  I have always been 'ahead of the curve' on things.  It is plausible that Hitchens, likewise, sensed that there was something wrong in his Trotskyism and gradually reformed himself into a cultural conservative.   People grow up.

 

Anyway, I also agree with Hitchens that Britain should remain neutral in the matter of Russia and Ukraine.  'Kremlinist' or not, he is right about that - he is right about a great many things.

 

There is one fact about him that has always given me slight reservations: during different periods as an overseas correspondent for Fleet Street, he was based in Moscow and Washington, D.C.  My American geography is hazy, but I assume that while assigned to Washington, D.C., his suburban home in northern Virginia would not have been too distant from Langley.   He does come across to me as somebody who has been trained in propaganda somewhere.  Maybe the training is just from organic experience gained over the years, but I can't rule out that he may be a deep cover agent of some sort.  

 

I read his columns religiously every week, but not for the political comment.  Mr Hitchens is a very good social and literary essayist, a sort of late 20th. century Orwell, and I always enjoy his pieces.  The reason I don't take much notice of his political commentary is that he is plainly a conservative gatekeeper.  It's so obvious that anybody who doesn't see it should get their eyes tested.  Even if he is not an agent, his gatekeeping excludes him from serious consideration.

 

He is also halachically Jewish, though he was brought up as an Anglican.  I do think ethnicity affects how people see the world.  In his case, I think his Jewishness combined with his determination to maintain a mainstream Fleet Street career have placed limitations on what he will and will not say.

The Daily Mail (ie MSM) revealing that the Military allegedly kept tabs on what high profile journos and politicians (NOT the public) were saying about lockdowns and the convid scam. Gatekeepers indulging in limited-hangout, maybe. 

 

Since all the people named are shills and gatekeepers, not criticising them would be even weirder.

 

The MSM are letting the public know what is in store for THEM in future, and what is now possible. "Look", they say, "if the Army can spy on these upstanding public figures, then imagine what else they can do".

 

Yeah. We get the message.

PETER HITCHENS: I've had the Covid jab - and all it cost me was my freedom

By Peter Hitchens for The Mail on Sunday

Published: 22:08, 27 February 2021 | Updated: 22:11, 27 February 2021

So sorry, Your Majesty, but I have had my first Covid vaccination for wholly selfish reasons. I did not do it for the good of others but for my own convenience. And I will have my second for the same purpose.

A very important part of my family now lives abroad and I am deeply tired of not being able to see them. 

I get the strong sense that any sort of travel, and plenty of other things, will be impossible if I don’t have the necessary vaccine certificate. 

For me, the vaccination was a gloomy submission to a new world of excessive safety and regulation. I’d tried to fight against it but I lost.
