UK deep state propagandist on topics from the Bilderberg group to the UK COVID-19 Lockdown. Denied being connected to the Integrity Initiative although leaked documents included his name. | |
David Aaronovitch is a UK deep state propagandist, broadcaster and author. He is a regular columnist for The Times. He was listed on leaked documents from the Integrity Initiative, but when David Miller asked him about this, he denied any knowledge of or connection to the group, claiming that "after a fairly cursory look it seems pretty obvious that this stuff is forged."[1]
Background
Aaronovitch is the son of communist intellectual and economist Sam Aaronovitch,[2] and brother of actor Owen Aaronovitch and scriptwriter and author Ben Aaronovitch. He has written that he was brought up "to react to wealth with a puritanical pout".[3]
Integrity
Aaronovitch's name appears in the leaked documents from the Integrity Initiative in 2018. When asked over Twitter whether he knew of or had had contact with Integrity Initiative, Institute for Statecraft or the UK Cluster, Aaronovitch replied "I have never heard of any of these three exotic entities. I think you have been hoaxed."[1]
Reporting

About the Iraq War WMD lies, Aaronovitch expressed what Robin Ramsay termed a "fine sentiment which seems to have had zero impact on his subsequent thinking and writing"[4]: {{#subobject: |Has superobject=David Aaronovitch |Has objectClass=Quotation |Has author=David Aaronovitch|+sep=, |Has text=“If nothing is eventually found, I – as a supporter of the war – will never believe another thing that I am told by our government, or that of the US ever again.

And, more to the point, neither will anyone else. Those weapons had better be there somewhere.” [5]
John Laughland
In a 2004 hit piece on John Laughland[6], Aaronovitch borrowed most of his points from the website Ukrainian Archive, which has links to all the western-backed "pro-democracy" groups in Ukraine.[7]. This is a pointer that the networks that later became known as the Integrity Initiative already were in place by 2004.
"...in search of the Deep State"
In 2018, after the 2017 popularisation of the phrase "deep state", Aaronovitch went "in search of the Deep State" on BBC Radio 4.[8]
