... In a piece in the Western Daily Mail on 4 August 1998, Pincher reported the following. A Mr Einar Sanden, living in Cardiff, has researched the life of a famous Estonian footballer, called Evald Mikson. Mikson, learned Sanden, had worked with the Germans when they invaded Estonia in 1941, and had interrogated a captured Estonian agent of Soviet military intelligence, the GRU. (One may imagine that in such circumstances - an Estonian working for the Nazis - such an 'interrogation' was, as British military-intelligence patois has it, 'robust'.) Said interrogated GRU agent told Mikson that he had recruited Hollis for the GRU in China in 1927. Further ...

... -level Cuban official and Castro intimate who was recruited by the CIA in 1961. It is now known that it was in fact Morris Childs, code-named 'solo'. (12) Childs, a member of the CPUSA, and an informant for the FBI, was sent by Hoover to Cuba in early 1964 as an undercover agent to learn what he could about the assassination from Castro. 'Solo' returned to tell Hoover that Castro said Oswald in Mexico City "vowed in the presence of Cuban Consulate officials to assassinate Kennedy." In 1978 Castro told the HSCA that no one had ever told him that Oswald had made such a statement, denying not only what ...

'At the Princeton conference last Saturday, Raymond Garthoff, a distinguished historian now with the Brookings Institute and a former CIA analyst, mentioned that we had recently learned of an FBI-Army double agent operation that may have spurred the Soviets to produce more lethal chemical and biological agents. He was referring to David Wise's book, Cassidy's Run: The Secret Spy War Over Nerve Gas. [Cassidy was a US Army sergeant who the FBI "dangled" before a Soviet naval attach in 1959 and who then served as a double agent ...

... . Maxwell Knight was recruited to the Security Service by Sir Vernon Kell in April 1925 and won rapid promotion through the ranks of the agency.(2 ) By the 1930s Knight was in charge of B5b, which conducted the day-to-day monitoring of both left- and right-wing subversion. It was Knight and his agents who were primarily responsible for the surveillance of Britain's fascists and other "fellow- travellers of the right", and for engaging in whatever counter-espionage against them was deemed necessary. The climax of Knight's encounter with domestic fascism occurred in 1940, when his section uncovered the pro- Nazi activities of Tyler Kent and Anna Wolkoff. ...

During the course of the their investigation of German espionage in the United States, Bureau agents discovered Senator Warren Harding, the Ohio Republican, in the arms of his mistress Carrie Phillips, a suspected German spy. A federal agent reported that Harding was passing secrets from the Navy Department to his lover, who in turn 'relay[ed] this information to friends in the German Empire'. The discovery would have been politically ...

... found corresponding echoes in British publications concerning the foreign political activities of the Soviet Union which are, in reality, aimed at healing the breaches in international relations. Fearing political isolation, the Conservative government would like to expand their anti-Soviet propaganda and espionage campaign into other European countries. A direct invitation to that is being issued by BIS agents through publications and by the radio corporation BBC. My attention in this case was caught by an article published in the London newspaper Financial Times where on one hand conclusions are drawn concerning the activities of the English conservatives, but on the other hand some of their political aims are exposed. May I quote an excerpt from this article: ...

On the confirmation of chemicals and current deployments, the paper states: 'If clouds were seeded (using chemical nuclei similar to those used today or perhaps a more effective agent discovered through continued research) before their downwind arrival to a desired location, the result could be a suppression of precipitation' (emphasis added).3 Further evidence of the existence of chemtrails can be found in a document published by the Air Force Phillips Laboratory and the Air Force Materiel Command (which has no disclaimer about 'fictional scenarios ...

... , the role for which he is best known. One of Germany's problems in this field, one it shared with the Soviet Union and Japan, was that her Führer only wanted to hear intelligence that suited his prejudices. Japan and the Soviet Union also suffered from this and it blunted the effects of Stalin's incomparably better 'humint' (human agents) and informer networks – better because of the ideological appeal of communism in the West – together with his paranoid suspicion that Britain was only using the War to turn on the USSR after it was won. Japanese intelligence was similarly weak, except in China where Japan had been fighting for years; possibly, Hastings suggests, because of ...

... so, the Bolsheviks, and other Russian revolutionaries generally, really had no significant membership base, financial support or following. They had invariably been in exile for decades, were splintered into many factions, did little more than produce a mound of paper, and were unable to get elected to anything anywhere. They were also completely penetrated by agents provocateurs and government agents. This is demonstrated here in the account of the Latvian anarchists whose activities led to the Siege of Sidney Street in London in 1911. This group contained Yakov Peters, later a highly placed figure in the NKVD/KGB. He was also, apparently, an informer for both Scotland Yard and the Tsarist secret ...

There are occasional examples which suggest that the secret state is playing silly buggers with the British political fringes.
