State‑Funded NGO Infiltration Tactics

The Guardian’s Harry Shukman, working with Hope Not Hate (an NGO receiving UK Home Office grants), used a fake passport and posed as an heir offering donations to access pro‑natalist and race‑science circles like Aporia. The exposé then reframed largely public statements as sinister via undercover narrative. This shows an NGO–media–state tactic: bait access with money and publish stigma‑laden investigations. — If taxpayer‑funded NGOs and major media collaborate to infiltrate and stigmatize lawful research and advocacy, it challenges norms of press ethics, civil‑society independence, and viewpoint pluralism.
