The “non-profit” Institute for the Study of War (ISW) launders defense contractor cash into war-justifying disinformation, journalist and founder of Crowdsource the Truth Jason Goodman tells Sputnik, commenting on ISW’s Ukraine conflict coverage.
What Does ISW Say?
Reporting Ukrainian weakness is just Russian “disinformation”
Hit Russia harder and surge military production. Why? Because Russia seeks to “destroy NATO”.
Who Funds ISW?
Weapons-maker General Dynamics
Defense tech firm Avantus (now QinetiQ)
Global defense & intel contractor CACI International and many others
“[ISW] collected over $9 million in revenue [in 2023] alone — nearly all of it from undisclosed donors — and paid [founder] Kimberly Kagan herself over a quarter million dollars to peddle war escalation narratives under the banner of ‘trusted analysis’,” Goodman says.
