The Project Pegasus revelations emerged on 18 July 2021 in corporate media, and showed how various governments used Israeli spyware to spy on corporate journalists, opposition politicians, activists, business people and others. The official narrative has several problems. The story has all the hallmarks of a bone thrown to obedient journalists as a reward.
Forbidden Stories is sponsored by the usual suspected corporate/deep state/intelligence cutouts, like Open Society Foundations and Luminate.
The most noticeable thing with the revelation is that this is not new information. The independent media journalist Whitney Webb analyzed it extensively in 2017, and even corporate media outlets were writing about it the same year, in connection to the Jamal Khashoggi case.
The ‘revelations’ serves several purposes. They present corporate journalists, politicians like Emmanuel Macron and deep-state funded NGOs as noble champions so dangerous that they are “targeted” by the spooks.
It also is meant to create trust in the outlets reporting the story, to create an impression that they actually do independent investigative reporting.
