Michel Chossudovsky (born 1946) is a Canadian economist and author. He is professor emeritus of economics at the University of Ottawa^[1]^[2] and the president and director of the Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG), which runs the website globalresearch.ca, founded in 2001, which publishes falsehoods and conspiracy theories.^[3]^[4]^[5] Chossudovsky has promoted conspiracy theories about 9/11.^[6]^[7]^[10]^[11]

In 2017, the Centre for Research on Globalization was accused by information warfare specialists at NATO’s Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence (STRATCOM) of playing a key role in the spread of pro-Russian propaganda.^[12] A report by the U.S. State Department in August 2020 accused the website of being a proxy for a Russian disinformation campaign.^[13]
