... this draws on newly available archival evidence to document the origins of the Bilderberg Group. It also considers the various conspiracy theories which have attached themselves to the Group. Is it a CIA plot to undermine socialism or a socialist conspiracy to destroy the US's capitalist, democratic institutions? The author concludes that the view of Bilderberg as a seat of hidden global government comes closest to the truth. Hugh Wilford, 'CIA plot, socialist conspiracy or New World Order?

... many groups in society who all have some power. The interesting questions begin where pluralism stops. 'Pluralist' analysts in British universities are still wrestling with the discovery (sic) of 'interest groups' and 'pressure groups'. The parapolitical perspective, on the other hand, the conspiracy perspective, takes for granted that there are likely to be hidden influences at work because there is a mountain of historical evidence which shows hidden influences at work: not giant world-conquering conspiracies by the Masons or some such nonsense, but more mundane things likes intelligence agencies tinkering with the political process, faking reality in the media etc.. It became absurd to deny the existence of large-scale conspiracies, of ...

... examples should suffice. In 'The Black Hole of Guyana', Judge writes that 'Jones' friend', Mitrione, 'worked as chief of police (in a town where Jones preached as a child), and kept (Jones) from being arrested or run out of town.' This information is attributed to A. J. Langguth's Hidden Terrors, which does, in fact, tell us that Dan Mitrione was a police chief in Richmond, Ind. But this is well known. What's interesting and important about the statement is not that Mitrione was a police chief, but that he was Jones's 'friend', and that he intervened to keep Jones 'from being arrested or ...

... inevitably, academics wishing to preserve conventional interpretations may heavily dispute this work: the more so as the issue and history of Hitler and the last great war of 1939 to 1945 still touch many raw nerves. A skilful researcher, intrepid denizen of dusty Bank of England archives, and polyglot scholar of the oblique, of economic history normally left hidden, Preparata is also a consummate stylist, a quality that makes his work eminently readable and unusually compelling. This feature is clearest in Conjuring Hitler but also in Preparata's journal articles, such as 'Hitler's Money: The Bills of Exchange of Schacht and Rearmament in the Third Reich' (American Review of Political Economy, Vol. 1, ...

... American plane was to be the half-expected 'balanced revenge' (from the Islamic code of Intekam) for the shooting down by the USS Vincennes of an Iranian civil airliner, killing all 290 Moslems aboard, in Islamic airspace earlier in the year. A warning went out to European airports in early December, 1988, to watch out for bombs hidden in cassette recorders. The American embassy in Helsinki received a message on 5 December, 1988, that 'within the next few weeks' there would be an attack on a Pan-Flight from Frankfurt to New York. This was confirmed by the Israeli army who, three days later, found planning papers following a successful assault on a PFLP camp ...

... one of the conspirators after a protracted legal struggle. Pepper's thesis starts by demonstrating that there was a conspiracy involving personnel from Memphis Police Department, the US Army and local organised crime. King was shot by a Memphis policeman, in a conspiracy with the mob. Cash from the local mob concealed under vegetables, guns being moved about and hidden in a small diner- this feels small-time, local. But the provision of various false identities for Ray and his control in the months before the assassination were not the work of a redneck gang in Mississippi: this was the federal state. And it appears that the state did not trust the Memphis cop-mob job to deliver. As ...

... High Court, London, on 23 February Chesterfield-based accountant [and occasional Lobster contributor] Morris Riley was awarded five thousand pounds damages against Searchlight magazine editor Gerry Gable, one-time columnist Ray Hill, and the magazine itself, in relation to an August 1993 article in the 'Hill Street News' column. Riley is the author of Philby: the Hidden Years, the second edition of which was published by Janus of London last year [and reviewed in Lobster 38]. Janus publisher Sandy Leung gave evidence for Riley. Judge Walker sent the jury out at 11.30 am, and they returned at 3 pm to announce their unanimous verdict. The defence elected to call no evidence; Mr ...

... updated and expanded version of Defending the Realm: MI5 and the Shayler Affair which was reviewed in Lobster 38, this account of MI5's adjustment to the post Cold War world is one of the best books on the UK's intelligence services, up there with Stephen Dorril's MI6 book, Paul Lashmar and James Oliver's book on IRD and Richard Aldrich's The Hidden Hand. Rereading it, I was struck by the following. Although we now know quite a lot about MI5's recent history, almost none of it has come from MI5 itself, despite the talk of openness and its Web site. A good deal of the key information has come from David Shayler who is at the centre of this ...
