Kit Klarenberg, an investigative journalist regularly writing for the Grayzone, published an article on Nov. 16, “Leaks Expose Secret British Military Cell Plotting To ‘Keep Ukraine Fighting,’” exposing the leak of a secret British intelligence/military operation to keep the war in Ukraine going, and to escalate towards a full-scale war with Russia.
The operation, codenamed Project Alchemy, was launched under the direction of Royal Marines Lt. Gen. Charlie Stickland, immediately after the February 2022 launching of Russian military forces into Ukraine. He is charged with “planning, executing and integrating U.K. led joint and multinational overseas military operations” as the head of Britain’s Permanent Joint Headquarters. Klarenberg adds: “It appears the British Premier Keir Starmer fell under the influence of the Project Alchemy cabal soon after his election in July, when he eagerly embraced the role of ‘wartime prime minister.’”
Klarenberg writes: “The secret cell even put forward a plan to ‘aggressively pursue’ and ‘dismantle’ independent media outlets—including The Grayzone—through an aggressive campaign of legal harassment and online censorship, so they ‘would be forced to close.’”
The plans have been partially implemented, including the attack on the Kerch Bridge connecting Crimea to the Russian mainland, and “the construction of a secret, Gladio-style army of Ukrainian partisan fighters to carry out assassination, sabotage, and terror missions behind enemy lines.”
The Alchemy Project paper that Klarenberg leaked “consisted of a series of proposals for the British government to ‘defeat Putin in Ukraine and set the conditions for the reshaping of an open international order of the future.’ Throughout the document, the need to ‘keep Ukraine fighting’ was described as London’s ‘main effort’ in the conflict.”
