(125) Checking this claim would take years, as between them these agencies must have distributed material to hundreds, possibly thousands of newspapers. However one fragment of substantiating evidence is available concerning one of them, Transworld. On May 19th 1976 the Daily Telegraph carried a report from Washington headed "Campaign in US to smear ...

Lobster 11 began as attempts to check some of the material provided by Colin Wallace, and, quite quickly, turned into a self-education course on the 1970s and the British Right. When we put No.11 out we had done enough reading to know that we had a lot more to do. It has continued since. It was quite obvious early on in the research for No.11 that (a) we were setting ourselves an agenda that would preoccupy us for ...

Jeremy Thorpe was destroyed but Hain survived his fit-up for robbery and for all the rumour-mongering about Clement Freud and Cyril Smith, the Liberals didn't crumble.

... 'counter subversion unit' to deal with the IRA. It published a manual on the IRA distributed to journalists and others, including ISC's Iain Hamilton. (Guardian 27 January 1978) Sections of the manual appeared in Barzilay (1973) (Time Out 14 October 1977). In volume 1 of the book there is a picture of Colin Wallace posing in front of a pile of arms "seized" by the Army. Wallace says these were mostly British Army weapons. (p119) Leigh (1978) pp 222-224 One of the 1976 changes suggested by Crowe was the shifting of the Counter Subversive fund to IRD control (Bloch and Fitzgerald 1983 p98): What the CS ...

I first came across Mr Bryans when, under his other pen name, Robert Harbinson, he became embroiled in the Kincora Boys Home aspect of the Colin Wallace affair in 1987 and 88. As Harbinson, he began including me on his distribution list for a series of 'open letters'. Though obviously highly libellous, the content of these letters was largely obscure to me-- and to the other people I knew who were getting them-- but they seemed to indicate that the author ...

... on New Zealand and on Harold Wilson's tribulations at the hands of the spooks resonated with the then resurgent British peace movement. But not for long. My message: that if they were serious they had to educate them-selves in the way that I was doing was unpalatable and I was quickly dropped. Another set of talks here are about Colin Wallace and Fred Holroyd and what they had to tell us about the state's activities in Northern Ireland and the UK; and related to that are a couple about the wider 'Wilson plots'. And the basic question which runs through Lobster and this book how much interference from the secret state, or secret states, has there been? leads ...

... Next Issue 11 Wilson, MI5 and the Rise of Thatcher Covert Operations in British Politics 1974-1978 Appendix 5: TARA TARA was a prototype Protestant paramilitary group set up by William McGrath within an Orange Lodge he had started. TARA never got off the ground. In a report he wrote while still working for Information Policy in September 1974, Colin Wallace commented: "In theory 'TARA' was basically a credible concept from a loyalist paramilitary point of view.... but it never progressed beyond the planning stage...the idea failed for a number of reasons, mainly because of William McGrath's rather strange political views which are more akin to Irish Nationalism or Republicanism, that Unionism, ...

... 'Arms Reduction Ombudsman'- not to help with arms reduction, but to do public relations work for Reagan's policies. (Peace News 29/9 /83)*** Richard Viguerie, who was responsible for the European direct mailing campaign, is regarded as the Godfather of the New Right. He is the former fund-raiser for George Wallace and was the editor of the rabid Conservative Digest. His direct mail organisation dispatched anywhere between 7 and 9 million letters and raised three million dollars in an almost successful attempt to block Senate ratification of the Panama Canal Treaty. The umbrella grouping used then would be employed later against the Salt agreement under the auspices of the Coalition For Peace ...

I first noticed James Adams when he began running some of the MOD's disinformation lines about Colin Wallace and Fred Holroyd in 19867. For a while I collected articles by him which seemed to show the traces of Whitehall briefings. Then I stopped: what was I going to do with such articles? Mr Adams is a kind of successor to Chapman Pincher. The Whitehall warriors feed him stuff, he writes it up for the paper-- the traditional role of the British 'defence correspondents', ...
