... claims to great antiquity of earlier secret societies with explicitly political aims. (These aims were gradually revealed to members as they rose through the degrees of the order.) The Illuminati were anti-clerical, republican, and sought to fulfil these aims by education and infiltration of Freemasonry. They enjoyed a brief vogue but alarmed the Bavarian government and were suppressed in 1785, accused of involvement in poisoning plots and similar activities. Four years later the French Revolution broke out. The ideologies of the Revolution bore many similarities to those of the secret societies. Like the Masons, the revolutionaries believed in a vague deism and devised new religious ceremonies of their own to replace Christianity with the worship of ...

... may arise between auditor and client The turning of a blind eye to irregularities may happen tacitly, that is both auditor and the company to be audited understand what the 'deal' is without anything being said: you get the fees, we get the clean bill of financial health. However, outright conspiracy between the auditor and the audited to suppress the true financial state of the company must happen reasonably frequently because apart from those instances which result in criminal charges, there are so many cases of publicly reported company failure which involve such dramatic failures of auditors to qualify accounts that it is difficult to imagine they are down to simple negligence or incompetence. In Britain think of the failure ...

... 7) It is a source of conflict understandably played down by the libertarians who are only too aware that their own anti-statist line is not as consistent as it might be. Although their classical liberal, individualist ideology is applied rigorously in the field of social and industrial policy-- and also in respect of European unity-- it is suppressed when it comes to the civil and military authorities which underpin the British nation state. For Western Goals (UK), however, their cherished 'Western', 'European' or 'Christian' values are threatened not only by Marxism but by liberalism-- the classic liberalism of the libertarians, the liberalism of social democrats and democratic socialists, ...

... used a tiny fraction of Hugh Thomas' ideas about Hess/ 'Hess'. But Thomas' material is no 'more complex and better concealed' than, say, the conspiracy to convict the Guildford 4 (and the later, and more ramified conspiracy to defend the convictions), the state's campaign to discredit Colin Wallace, or the suppression of the Kincora story. The latter, alone, would take much of an issue of Lobster, just to describe. Andrews' proposition just is not true. Let's be generous: Andrew hasn't read the material and literally does not know whereof he is speaking. (And whereof he should have stayed silent.) What Andrew said ...

... '.(7) Little indication of this is found in Ambush. But in Fred Holroyd we have a witness, and evidence that these tactics were used in Northern Ireland during the mid-70's. Here are the origins of the so-called 'shoot-to-kill' policy that John Stalker investigated. Covert operations began in Northern Ireland following the failure of internment to suppress the IRA. Psychological warfare, including the use of black propaganda, an integral part of counter-insurgency operations, emerged in 1971 with the creation of Information Policy. In early 1972 the Military Reconnaissance Force (MRF) was created. Military chiefs wanted a unit to combine 'intelligence gathering' with 'aggressive patrolling' within the Republican areas.( ...

... Party to the inevitability of Thatcherism, at least Peter Hitchens became an 'honest Tory'. Then again, he had a bit more to betray and further to fall. What Marshall also alludes to are significant episodes in Hitchens' personal Calvary. The first was the reluctance of the Left to criticise the ANC in South Africa after its bloody suppression of its dissident faction from 1984. This involved the rape and murder of ANC dissidents both in the notorious Quatro gulag run by the MPLA in Angola and in Cuban prison camps. In this way did the ANC prepare itself for its reconciliation with South African capitalism, court the West, and lay the foundation for the corrupt and self-serving ...

... change, the next generation is doomed to do something similar because of the way the system has been allowed to develop? Perhaps we might start with Asquith sleep-walking into war in 1914; but we also have Baldwin and Chamberlain sustaining bankrupt imperial systems rather than face the threats emerging in Europe; and Eden believing that British soldiery and diplomacy could suppress third world passions (a mistake repeated absurdly in 2003). Economically, we have lurched from a flawed and corporatist wartime social democratic state that embedded the special interest of the trades unions and crushed market innovation to a consumer-driven credit-fuelled fantasy that was an accident waiting to happen. So far, the British have accepted the myth of parliamentary ...

... there were so many US military and CIA personnel in the country that it was jocularly known as 'the USS Honduras'. Presiding over this was the US Ambassador, John Negroponte, later a key figure in the Iraq War. Negroponte had earlier served in the US Embassy in Saigon. Now he supervised both the contra operation and the brutal suppression of dissent in Honduras itself. The CIA, with the co-operation of the Honduras Army, established death squads that tortured and killed dozens of people. So close was the relationship that the head of the Army, Colonel Alvarez Martinez, was actually godfather to the daughter CIA station chief, Donald Winter. Reagan awarded Alvarez the Legion of ...
