Home grown propaganda, pretending it's from "the others"

  Maybe - who can tell? The examples I'm thinking of have definitely profited foreign interests, tho. Look to see who profits.

It would be in foreign interest, yes. But all of this is no different from 50 years of the environmentalist movement. The snail darter was an invented species decades ago. So if it’s propaganda, it’s not invented so much as amplifying what we invented here.

    That does indeed make it seem like Executive Directors of environmental NGOs are responsible for this.

      Sure - if you believe the Executive Directors of environmental NGOs are actually that powerful - and not just doing the bidding of someone above them.
