(Notes - everything here needs edited, but I'm doing it gradually!)
Glevum is a military contractor first and foremost, despite their public focus on social science research; their actual practices have been dismissed in particular by anthropologists. [3]
A poll of Afghanis conducted by Glevum in July 2009 in the build up to 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 Afghan President.
Vice President Andrew Garfield has held senior roles in British military and then as a civilian intelligence officer. He is a visiting lecturer at military academies and universities on PSYOPS (psychological warfare) throughout Europe, and has also been involved in the training of senior US Army and Marine Commanders and their staffs on psychological warfare and ethnographic intelligence gathering.[4] 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.
