Notes/to be edited'Glevum is a military contractor first and foremost, most of their listed clients on their website are arms of the United States Department of Defence, or have worked under contract themselves for the US DoD. Glevum conducted a poll of Afghanis in July 2009 on the Afghanistan election of which they forecast a comfortable victory for Hamid Karzai, a study financed by the US Government, who was also seen to be America’s favoured choice for president. Vice President Andrew Garfield has held senior roles in British military and latterly civilian intelligence officer. He is a visiting lecturer at military academies and universities on PSYOPS (psychological warfare) throughout Europe, and for senior US Army and Marine Commanders and their staff [2] Garfield and Senior PR Advisor Laurie Adler are former employees of the Lincoln Group, where they filled similar roles. Lincoln was uncovered to be paying Iraqi newspapers to publish propaganda and articles written by US troops, edited by Lincoln IOs to downplay any negative American involvement in 2005. At Lincoln, Garfield worked alongside Andrea Jackson, credited by some for devising the HTS, & Laurie Adler, Lincolns PR Spokeswoman. Glevum’s official website makes no mention or association of the pairs involvement with the Lincoln Group or any resultant controversy.
