In an interview on podcast, The Watchdog, British investigative journalist, Matt Kennard, revealed that as part of the U.S. State Department-funded “British-American Project,” British politician, Jeremy Corbyn, was monitored by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) as far as back as 1986.
“And this came out, the CIA declassified a lot of files in 2017 when Corbyn was leader which were covered in the press. It’s an interesting time to declassify those files, but it basically showed they were concerned about him and there was a specific reference to him in El Salvador, they were monitoring in El Salvador and that there was another reference to him as well.” Kennard said.

“They explicitly said in this internal report that they declassified the biggest threat to U.S. interest would be a win for Michael Foot in the 1983 election. I mean, we know this happens, but it’s quite good to see it there in black and white,” the journalist said.
“And just so we can be clear, the declassified documents which show that the CIA was surveilling Jeremy Corbyn was from what year?” the podcast host asked.
“1986, and they weren’t directly surveilling. He was travelling to El Salvador. This was the time of the Civil War and he was a supporter of a union called Finestra, which was allied to the Marxist guerrillas, while the U.S. was supporting the military government,” the investigative journalist said. “They probably were surveilling him, but it was more just the intelligence report about [his comings and goings].”
“He also appeared in the WikiLeaks State Department cables. That’s in the article too. There was a demonstration against the war in Iraq in 2002 in Istanbul which he spoke at and was apparently monitored by embassy staff,” Kennard added. “They described what the chance were and they said something along the lines of…it was also attended…and that the speakers included British politician Jeremy Corbyn.”
“So Corbyn and Foot were kind of like, well complete outliers in the Labour Party,” Kennard explained. “The Labour party is effectively set up to neutralize any kind of anti-war left and anti-imperialist left, that’s its role.”
The CIA has come under increased public scrutiny for its implication in the assassination of the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy.
This very topic was discussed on Tucker Carlson’s primetime broadcast on Fox News on Thursday.
“[We spoke to someone who had access to these still-hidden CIA documents, a person who’s deeply familiar with what they contain. We asked this person directly: Did the CIA have a hand in the murder of John F. Kennedy, an American president?” Carlson stated in his broadcast.
“The answer is yes [they were involved in the assassination of JFK]. I believe they were involved. It’s a whole different country from what we thought it was. It’s all fake,” the source told Carlson.
Today we spoke to someone who had access to the still-hidden JFK files, and is deeply familiar with their contents. We asked this person directly: did the CIA have a hand in the murder of John F. Kennedy?
