(April 1986) Embargoed until 3pm, April 30th Something very strange happened in British politics almost a decade ago. A Prime Minister, Harold Wilson, and the journalist with the closest links to the British intelligence services, Chapman Pincher, both said that elements of MI5 had been trying to bring down the Labour Government during 1974-76- and nothing happened. There was no serious investigation by British journalists, the Labour Party or the Labour Government. In Wilson, MI5 and the rise of Thatcher: ...

De Gaulle's intensive use of SDECE and SAC operatives in illegal activities left himself, and, above all, his successors Pompidou and Gisgard d'Estaing with a 'disposal' problem: what to do with large numbers of dangerous activists of no certain loyalty who could easily blackmail the state. The answer of de Gaulle's successors was to follow De Gaulle's own ...

... obituarist in the Independent of 23 June 1993, commented that 'she stood by him loyaly, convinced that he was the victim of an international plot involving double agents and the CIA.' Well, something like that. Mrs Nixon's death was announced only a week after Channel 4 TV's Dispatches series broadcast a Barbara Newman documentary, 'The Key to Watergate' (June 16), a light gloss on this book. When the programme finished I went to the back issues of Lobster to re-read the review of Silent Coup, and discovered that there wasn't one. I now can't remember why this impresssive and important book didn't get any attention in Lobster: I read it for the publisher ...

... .. Bay of Pigs veterans who were located in the southern California area"; Hunt actually obtained print-outs of the available veterans, from Brigade 2506 Veterans Association (the AVBC) in Miami.(40) These plans for organised governmental violence were by no means wholly forestalled by the timely exposure of Hunt's Cubans at the July 17 1972 Watergate break-in. Some of them have survived Nixon's fall from power and are today officially established under the guidance of narcotics control. To see how this could happen, however, we must look at the co-ordinated use of ex-CIA assets for 'black operations' which followed the Watergate arrests. One Watergate-related Nixon horror never investigated by either the Ervin or ...

... JFK Mark Lane Plexus, London, £9.99 In 1978 a right-wing American magazine, Spotlight, published an article by former CIA officer Victor Marchetti which claimed that in response to the beginning of public hearings of the House Committee on Assassinations, the CIA was about to admit that one of its former employees, Howard Hunt, one of the Watergate 'plumbers', had taken part in the assassination of John Kennedy. The admission would be a 'limited hang-out'. Hunt sued Spotlight; Marchetti had-- or was willing to present-- no evidence, and in 1981 Hunt duly won damages large enough to close Spotlight. However, on appeal the verdict was overturned on a ...

... is one that CCS planned 'left wing' riots and the assassination of Nixon for the Republican Convention of 1972, apparently in the hope of installing Vice President Agnew as some kind of dictator. Although this story is quite widely accepted among the US conspiracy buffs, the exact status it has remains unclear to me. Tackwood linked two of the Watergate 'plumbers', McCord and Hunt, to the LAPD. (The various official Watergate enquiries managed to miss all this.) In 1975 the Los Angeles Police Commission (a civilian body somewhat akin to our Police Committees) ordered 2 million police intelligence files accumulated since the 1950s, to be destroyed. Nothing was done. In 1983 ...

Watergate: why Spencer Oliver's phone was tapped When the Nixon White House 'plumbers' broke into the Watergate offices of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) they placed taps on two phones. One was Larry O'Brien's. This was intelligible: O'Brien was a big Washington operator who knew a lot, including the then not public information that Howard Hughes ...

... Egil Krogh's investigators had stumbled upon the CIA's unilateral drug smuggling operation, and that in July 1971, President Nixon had declared the burgeoning war on drugs to be a matter of national security. Nixon went after the CIA and quick as a flash, E. Howard Hunt (Conein's comrade from OSS Detachment 202) bungled the bugging of the Watergate Hotel. Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward, who had just been assigned to cover the war on drugs, was approached by the still anonymous Deep Throat, and based on unsubstantiated rumors, began incrementally reporting Nixon's political machinations, thus engendering the Watergate scandal and effectively neutralizing Nixon and his war on drugs. In the summer of 1972 came ...
