... reason his books do not get into print is because most of the material he writes, at the behest of his intelligence masters, is so libellous that no lawyer would pass it.(3) The letter to O'Hara reflects this inability to tell truth from fiction. Gerry Gable is accused of being in some kind of plot with the KGB to kill Lyndon LaRouche's people in Paris some years ago.(4) In making this accusation he grossly libels an academic and writer by saying that Gerry had paid this man to attend a LaRouche gathering to gain information on the organisation. Searchlight actually sent somebody to a World Anto Communist League conference abroad. No attempt was made to ...

... ) It sounds impressive, but as with all Soviet contacts one can't get away from the 'spy' and 'mole' debate, however much one wants to. The Bureau had become worried when another Soviet source 'Fedora' notified the FBI that Jack Childs was about to meet with Soviet contacts. The FBI were worried that this might be a KGB attempt to determine whether the FBI knew about the Childs link in the CPUSA/Soviet financial affairs. In the end the rendezvous went ahead and nothing untoward appeared to happen- or at least that's the official story. 'Fedora', Victor Lessiovski, was a top UN diplomat and had been providing the FBI with information since 1962. ...

(See appendix on Interdoc) This, of course, was before Ellis was accused by Pincher and others of being a KGB 'mole'. The publisher is given as Tom Stacey but the book is catalogued by Geoffrey Stewart-Smith's distribution service as "a Common Cause publication". Stacey turns up later in the seventies as Secretary of the pro-junta British-Chilean Council. Lord Chalfont was also a member.

Other fragments of interest in these notes include: the story about Marcia Falkender refusing to be positively vetted; the story of the possible legal action by the widow of the civil servant Michael Halls who blamed the stress of working for Wilson and Marcia for the early death of her husband; the story that Gaitskell was murdered by the KGB; talk of engineering a split in the Liberal Party over the role of power-sharing with either of the other two parties; talk of engineering a split between Harold Wilson and the NEC of the Labour Party. Chucked into all this are two little groups of names from the British Right, from the context obviously there as some kind of ...

... or Roger Hollis; but they were funding the World Peace Council and the rest of the well known fronts. The only important news so far has been the confirmation that the Soviets were also funding communist parties around the world-- including the Communist Party of Great Britain. There really was 'Moscow Gold' in there after all, and KGB gold at that. Confirmation of this at the British end came from senior party figure Reuben Falber, who looked after the CP's accounts from 1958 to 1979 and who handled the money from Moscow-- up to 100,000 a year-- from 1958 to 1979. Falber met the man from the Soviet Embassy and got bags ...

Unlike Michael Foot, similarly traduced, Ramsome is not here to sue Rupert Murdoch for libel.

... Wilson resigned. The Times wants us to think there might be a connection but a clearer example of the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy is hard to imagine. The Times followed their tiny 'scoop' with a version of three other familiar 'British conspiracy theories', as they put it, about Wilson. The Times sections are italicised A KGB plot One conjecture connects Harold Wilson to the sudden death of Hugh Gaitskell, his predecessor as leader of the Labour Party. It claims that Gaitskell, a pro-American, had been assassinated by the KGB in order to install a communist sympathiser as probable future prime minister.

... the seamen's strike of 1966; his denunciation is said to he 'a fatal error' (p. 131). Dorril and Ramsay ignore the damaging strikes of car workers, miners, dockers and others, which did so much to destroy these industries. They have keen ears for rumour, but seem not to have caught the admissions of KGB officers who made their own contribution to Britain's industrial decline. They never discuss the possibility that this was 'the enemy within, rather than the so-called 'secret state'. Allegations of KGB intervention are countered by charges that the real villain was the CIA. There is no parallel here; KGB aimed to 'subvert the democratic system, where the ...
