... fourth such murder of a nuclear scientist in Iran since 2010. Initially the Iranian authorities blamed Israel for the attack after the former Israeli military spokesman Brigadier Yuav Mordechi revelled in the murder. But it's difficult to see how MOSSAD agents could remain undetected in a closed society like Iran. Later, sections of an increasingly divided Iranian media suggested the CIA were to blame. But as New York Times journalist James Risen has revealed, the CIA has been a busted flush in Iran for over a decade. (Risen, 2006, pp. 198-218) More plausibly, the bombing could have been the work of a terrorist organisation called the Mujehadin-e Khalq (MEK) ...

... MPs, and they had both been to a Bilderberg meeting. Most of the junior ranks of NuLab had links to America, through the British-American Project for example; or through NATO's Atlantic Committee; or through the Trade Union Committee for Transatlantic and European Unity, created by US Labour attaché Joe Godson in the 1970s. If the CIA was in the British labour movement, it was in this committee. The Americans knew that NuLab were on side'. The City was relaxed about NuLab: John Smith's ground work was followed by a campaign of strenuous forelock tugging by Gordon Brown and Peter Mandelson. All that remained was the media, particularly Rupert Murdoch, whose papers ...

... is astounding. The second coming of Christ was about as likely. Uncle Sam's Grauniad? Richard Gott's account (above) of the Guardian's long-standing pro-American stance made me wonder, for the umpteenth time, if the Guardian had been part of the NCL (non-communist left) supported/penetrated/run by the CIA during the Cold War. In its attempt to regulate the entire Western media in those years, the CIA could take the conservative UK press for granted as good anti-communists; it was the left or leftish media it needed to concentrate on. And in the UK, America's most important overseas military base, that meant the Guardian ...

On page 64 Stone tells us that in Italy in 1948 the Communists lost the election. About that election, There were (and are) cries of "foul", because of covert activity by CIA men such as Michael Ledeen or Edward Luttwak, who knew the country well. ' If he isn't claiming that Ledeen (born 1942) and Luttwak (born 1941) were involved in Italy in 1948, what is he claiming? Are Luttwak and Ledeen CIA? Nothing on the record tells us this.

A year later, the CIA began a cloud seeding operation designed to rain off Buddhist protests in Saigon. It was latter revealed to be a common practice by the US in Indochina.

... guess – deals with Watergate. Secondly, the suggestion that Nixon and the plumbers' were set-up is false. The author tells us that a Washington policeman was warned in advance of the Watergate burglary and let it happen, before arresting the plumbers'. Even if, as is speculated here, that policeman was linked to the CIA in some way, this is not setting them up.1 The book is interesting chiefly as a firsthand account of a career agent/agent provocateur for the American local and national state – police, FBI, and God knows who else (half the time Merritt seemed to neither know nor care for whom he was really working) ...

... time I would have been excited. Now I am merely curious to see what the US embassy in London had to say about our politicians. Am I just getting old and jaded? Yes: but there is something else here. The US State Department counts for little. It was by-passed in the 1950s by the paramilitary (CIA) and the military (Pentagon). The US State Department exists as a kind of cover story for America's military power; indeed its subsidiary status is shown by the cables which show diplomatic staff being asked to gather biometric' data, as if they were low level intelligence assets. Digital security simply isn't possible. In two years ...

The apartheid regime in South Africa had a large programme, Operation Coast, though what it amounted to is as murky as the rest of these stories and lots of its funding may simply have been stolen. En route the authors wander into all manner of interesting byways, including the CIA trials in the early 1950s and the Frank Olsen case; and David Kelly and other dead microbiologists. (Just google dead microbiologists' to get a flavour.) This is reminiscent of the dead Marconi scientists story of a decade ago. Is someone knocking-off microbiologists?
