The TV coverage of the event was every bit as obscure and unhelpful as the TV reporting after the JFK murder and worse than the coverage of the attempt on Ronald Regan's life. The news video of the assassination didn't play once; instead heads talked and voxes popped.... What follows is a ...

Two weeks later, on October 6, a Cuban commercial airliner exploded in mid-air over the Caribbean, killing all 73 passengers on board. Confessions in the latter case implicated Dr. Orlando Bosch Avila, a Cuban emigre then living in Venezuela and a veteran of at least three anti-Castro plots with CIA and/or Mafia backing. Bosch, in ...

... (c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 27) June 1994 Last| Contents| Next Issue 27 The murder of Hilda Murrell: ten years on Introduction Clear cut examples of political murder, or state assassination in the mainland UK have been virtually non-existent. It is that fact which has helped focus so much attention on the deaths of Hilda Murrell and, in Scotland, of Willie McRae. Lobster got into this area relatively early, printing in issue 16 a long report on the Murrell murder. The report arrived anonymously and was too good to worry about minor details like who the author of the piece was. He turned out to be Gary Murray-- to whom, belatedly ...

Barry Chamish Brookline Books, PO Box 1046, Cambridge, MA 02238, USA, $15.95 brooklinebks@delphi.com This is an interesting and important book. To its content I will return. But who is the author? Chamish is one of those names you cannot avoid if you potter around in the American conspiracy sections of the Internet; and bits of this book's thesis have been posted here there and everywhere in the last few years. This is Chamish's account of himself: 'Israeli journalist Barry Chamish is the most outspoken and document-laden of ...

Peter Smith The killing of WPC Yvonne Fletcher in public view and for no apparent reason remains one of the most notorious murders of recent decades. For sixteen years there have been few signs of any serious attempts to locate and bring to justice the perpetrator of this outrage. Finally, this April, in an outstanding piece of investigative journalism, a re-examination of the pathological and ballistical evidence strongly contests the official version of that tragic event in St James's Sq.(1) Why would the Libyans do it? There ...

But- if we survive as a result of that action, maybe in a few centuries people would stop spitting in the general direction of his cross- where he would be- along with the Pope, Onassis, and a lot of treasonous, murderous, cancerous, bribing public officials and back room Mafia- all branches. This Mafia 'congressional immunity' has little meaning to the man who's been hanging on the cross for 2000 years- nor does the Mafia 'statute of limitations' on crime. He wants off the cross and out from under the cover-up. So does Mary Jo. ...

... , after all this has been said, the complex and ambiguous story of the Indonesian bloodbath is also at its center simpler and easier to believe than the public version inspired by President Suharto and U.S. government sources. Their problematic claim is that in the so-called Gestapu coup attempt of September 30, 1965 (when six senior Army generals were murdered), the left attacked the right, leading to a restoration of power, and punitive purge of the left, by the center.(1) I shall argue instead that, by inducing, or at a minimum helping to induce, the Gestapu 'coup', the right in the Indonesian Army eliminated its rivals at the army's ...

... documentary in 1991. This in turn, led to the unprecedented use of the Prevention of Terrorism Act against the makers of the programme. (6) Like Dispatches, Jonty Brown links the 'inner force' to the execution of Pat Finucane, a lawyer and IRA sympathiser who exclusively defended Republicans, after Finucane secured the acquittal of an IRA murderer who killed two British soldiers at a funeral. Unlike the Dispatches programme, which was taken in by Billy Wright's fantasies that he was a key assassin of Republicans (rather than a squalid sectarian murderer on his own turf), Jonty Brown claims that, using the same methods he used to entrap Adair, as early as 1991 he ...
