Sharad Joshi

Sharad Joshi is the founder of the 'farmer unions' Shetkari Sanghatana and Kisan Coordination Committee, both of which have been used to promote GM crops not just in India but in Europe and at the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg. Sharad Joshi is also the leader of a grouping called Farmers for Freedom and of a political party, the Swatantra Bharat Party, of which he was also National President. 
Both Shetkari Sanghatana and Kisan Coordination Committee are described as 'peasant' organisations. Joshi is the author of a book, 'Organisation of Peasants - Thought and Practice' and he describes himself as a 'Peasant Leader'. However, his background does not suggest peasant roots. 
He was a lecturer in Economics and Statistics at the University of Poona (1957-58) before joining the Indian Postal Service (1958-68) from where he moved to the International Bureau of the UPU - the intergovernmental organisation for postal services . During this period (1968-77), Joshi was resident in Bern, Switzerland, where the UPU is based. 
All the groups with which Joshi is connected claim to be 'non-political' but have an ultra-libertarian stance. They emphasise not just freedom of access to markets, but freedom from state regulation and from any state economic intervention. In recent years, the freedom to use GM crops without any restriction has been added to the list.
Joshi has pursued his goals via 'a number of agitations', even being arrested on one occasion. IN 2002 he threatened to lead a campaign of civil disobedience if Monsanto's GM cotton was not approved by India's regulatory body. However, the level of popular support for Joshi and his views is open to question. 
According to Corporate Observatory Europe, the 'marginal position' of Joshi's groups and their ideology was revealed 'when Joshi ran for the Indian parliament in the mid-90s and received only a few hundred votes.' 
Similarly, although Shetkari Sanghatna and KCC are presented as 'mainstream' farmers' movements, in reality Joshi and his organisations have had an increasingly small constituency and typically represent only large local landowners growing cash crops, rather than India's numerous subsistence farmers. 
Despite this tiny following, Joshi is a Member of the Advisory Board of the Monsanto-backed World Agricultural Forum (WAF), in St. Louis, USA, and Chairman of the WAF India Chapter and South Asia Chapter. He is also Chairman of Shivar Agroproducts Ltd., an agroproducts processing and marketing company, and of Bhama Constructions Ltd.

Sharron Elliott

Staff Sergeant Sharron Elliott, (1972-2006) a member of the Intelligence Corps and 15 (UK) Psychological Operations Group was killed in Iraq 'in an attack on a Multi-National Forces boat patrol on the Shatt Al-Arab waterway on Sunday 12 November 2006.' She was 34 years old.
According to the Ministry of Defence account Elliott 'spent her early career in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, proving herself early on when she was one of the first women to qualify as an aircraft technician in the army. Keen for new challenges, she transferred to the Intelligence Corps and served in the United Kingdom, Germany and Belize, as well as completing a number of operational tours including service in Northern Ireland, Kosovo and Iraq.'
The MoD did not mention Elliott's role in psyops in its account of her service reflecting an institutional preference for secrecy about psychological operations. According to the Independent:
:After six years in the Army, Sgt Elliott transferred to the Intelligence Corps, subsequently serving in Northern Ireland and Kosovo before being posted to Iraq. Part of her training was at the 15 (UK) Psychological Operations Group headquarters at Chicksands in Bedfordshire, where students are encouraged to study the local culture and customs at postings abroad. Students are also taught to question perceived wisdom and to question policy and disagree with the official view if necessary.TERRI JUDD AND KIM SENGUPTA Iraq attacks: 'Why did she have to die for such a silly cause?' The Independent, Wednesday 15 November 2006. 
The 15 Psyops Group subsequently commemorated Elliott by creating the 'Sharron Elliott Trophy' for a rugby competition. See news report embedded in Wyatt, C. (2012) 'Psy-ops: Tuning the Afghans into radio', BBC News. 27 October.

Sheila Gunn

Sheila Gunn is a lobbyist with Fleishman-Hillard, a member of the Conservative party and a Tory candidate in the 2005 General Election.
During the 2005 election campaign Spinwatch reported:
:Meanwhile former Tory spin doctor and PR consultant Sheila Gunn is standing for the Tories in Slough. As well as being a PR consultant, in recent years Gunn has simultaneously been able to find time to be a Camden councillor and to turn her hand to academia. Strangely Gunn's profile on the Conservative Party website fails to mention that she works for a PR agency in central London. It has this to say of the relevant period:
::Since 1997, she has focussed on reinvigorating the Party from the grassroots levels upwards, being elected a Camden Borough Councillor in 2002. She also devotes a considerable amount of time to improving the communications and campaigning skills of politicians in our sister parties abroad, especially in central Europe and Africa. In addition, she lectures on government and politics to postgraduate journalism students at The City University. 
:The entry on the City University website, where she teaches, is only slightly more forthcoming:
::Sheila GunnMODULE LEADER, STRUCTURE OF GOVERNMENTSheila has been involved in politics from various viewpoints for more than 30 years. She trained in local and regional newspapers, covering parish, borough and county councils, moving on to the Press Association at Westminster and then The Times's political staff, rising from parliamentary reporter to political correspondent and deputy editor of The Times Diary, until 1995 when she was appointed the then Prime Minister John Major's personal press adviser. She is now a political affairs consultant, Camden councillor and freelance political commentator.
:Slightly abashedly, this profile does not mention that the PR company she works for is GPC International. This lobbying firm, based in an office above Covent Garden tube in central London lists its clients (Dec 2003- May 2004) as including some of the more dubious TransNational Corporations such as drug firms Pfizer, Bayer UK, Johnson and Johnson, Mining company Rio Tinto, Scottish Power, Rupert Murdoch's News International and BSkyB, as well as a spread of nuclear companies. GPC was, of course, also the firm involved in the 'lobbygate' scandal in which Derek Draper, was caught in a sting operation offering acceesss to New Labour through GPC. GPC International is in turn owned by one of the biggest PR companies in the world - Fleishman Hillard(FH) (See Sourcewatch entry on FH). FH is in turn part of the huge Omnicom group one of the big three global communications firms, which together with the fourth biggest - Publicis Groupe - between them own more than half of the global market in advertising, marketing, PR and lobbying. Still, no doubt GPC's salubrious client list and the fact that Gunn works for one of the biggest US firms in the world was left out of Gunn's Conservative Party profile as an oversight.
