A recent investigation by popular Twitter user Kanekoa the Great revealed that www.Greenmedinfo.com (a free health resource featuring public access to ~85,000 peer-reviewed studies supporting the science of natural health), was targeted in 2020 as one of 34 identified “disinformation-hosting websites” (along with other popular, independent media sites) by the Institute of Strategic Dialogue (ISD), a UK-based think tank headquartered in London, claiming to specialize in “research and policy advice on hate, extremism, and disinformation,” and founded by the highly influential British publishing magnate Lord Weidenfeld in 2006, also an honorary member of the Club of Rome.

Implicated in ISD’s elaborate censorship scheme are NewsGuard and The Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH). Additionally, and thanks to the investigative work of Kris Ruby, CEO of Ruby Media Group, whistleblower allegations have surfaced that Twitter deployed censorship lists provided to them by CCDH to algorithmically identify, experiment on, target, and suppress countless Twitter users, and which may still be active today. Pending proper investigations, there are far more questions than answers.
We implore Jim Jordan, chairman of both the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, and Elon Musk, to inquire further on these matters and address them accordingly.

According to InfluenceWatch, ISD was founded in 2006 by members of the Club of Three, a forum founded by political leaders and power brokers from the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Closely partnered with both Big Tech companies, the US Department of State, and the United Nations, ISD’s funding comes primarily from NGOs such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Omidyar Network, the United States Institute for Peace, the National Democratic Institute, and the Open Society Foundations.

While ISD Co-Founder and CEO, Sasha Havlicek (also former Under Secretary for Diplomacy and Foreign Affairs, U.S. Department of State and member of the European Council on Foreign Relations), is its most visible spokesperson today, ISD’s original board is still visible on WayBackMachine from 2019 and features some of the most powerful individuals in the United Kingdom, and for that matter the world, including General the Lord Guthrie of Craigiebank, former Chief of the General Staff (1994-1997) and Chief of the Defence Staff (1997-2001), and former director of N M Rothschild and Sons:
- Lord George Weidenfeld – President
- Michael Lewis – Chairman
- Sir Ronald Grierson
- General the Lord Guthrie of Craigiebank
- Baronness Helena Kennedy
- Lord Turner of Ecchinswell
- Lord Simon of Highbury CBE
Kanekoa’s discovery is timely, given ISD’s crucial role in publicly endorsing the UK-based “dark money” front group in 2019 , The Center for Countering Hate (CCDH), and CCDH’s subsequent, multi-year long vendetta to remove www.Greenmedinfo.com and its founder Sayer Ji from the internet by placing him on its notorious “Disinformation Dozen” digital hit list.
Sasha Havlicek, CEO of Institute for Strategic Dialogue, endorses CCDH in 2019.
Another indication of CCDH CEO’s ideological close ties to ISD is his association with the NGO-funded Inter-Narratives project (formerly known as Reset Narratives), of which he is the topmost featured ‘curator.’ We can thank another citizen investigator on Twitter for bringing this information to the public’s attention. To get a flavor of the kind of work Inter-Narratives does, it hosted an event in July, 2023 titled, “Attack, Engage or Ignore? The role of ‘the enemy’ in climate narratives,” which characterized those holding opposing views as ‘the enemy,’ Inter-Narratives describes itself as a community, with 120 stakeholders, some of which include some of the most powerful NGOs in the world, such as the World Wildlife Foundation, GreenPeace, the National Trust, and both CCDH and one of its primary funders, the Barrow Cadbury Trust.
