Guardian's deputy editor @paul__johnson joined state censorship D-Notice committee (run by MOD) after Snowden revelations in sop to British spooks. In board minutes, they thank him for being "instrumental in re-establishing links" between UK mil/intel and Guardian. Explains a lot 
Who was @carolecadwalla's "highly placed contact with links to US intelligence" who fed her clear disinformation? (Mueller report makes clear Podesta/DNC leaks transmitted digitally). Since Snowden, intel agencies have used Guardian/Obs to launder their disinformation operations.
Guardian dep ed @paul__johnson joins D-Notice comm for 1st meeting at MOD in 2014. Air Vice-Marshal Vallance reports relationship w/ Guardian has "continued to strengthen". Alongside Air Commodore Adams and Brigadier Dodds he's now in "regular dialogues" w/ "Guardian journalists"
Guardian refused to engage w military/intel censors on Snowden revelations, until "the end of July" 2013 when they "begun to seek and accept" advice, agreeing "not to publish certain...details".
On July 20 2013, GCHQ agents had entered Guardian and demanded to smash up laptops.

In 2016 - two years after joining D-Notice comm - Guardian dep ed @paul__johnson was personally rewarded for “re-establishing links” btw security services and Guardian. He was awarded the “first newspaper interview given by a serving spy chief” w MI5’s Andrew Parker. Major coup.
Dominic Wilson, Director G at MOD, congratulated Guardian dep ed @paul__johnson for “re-establishing links” btw Guardian and security services two weeks before Guardian published fabricated story about Assange-Manafort meetings. Was Guardian fed disinformation by its handlers?
Guardian dep editor P. Johnson who was congratulated by the UK security services for "reestablishing links" with Guardian is same man who smashed up the paper's laptops with GCHQ agents watching. Immediately after destroying the laptops he agreed to a position on D-Notice comm.
