... Jonestown story in three. With these subjects, detail is everything; and detail is what we don't have and couldn't have, given the format. The second problem is that in many of the cases cited by Bennett there is no clear narrative to summarise. Jonestown is a good example. Bennett tells us that it might have been a CIA experiment, tells us it is 'believed [by whom?] that the CIA had planted a number of their agents in Jonestown' and that it might have been a spinoff from the MK-Ultra programme (even though MK-Ultra had long ceased when Jonestown occurred). And for none of which he gives any evidence. ...

... of the spectrum, The Spectator has a disturbing account of David Shayler promoting his 9/11 Truth campaign in a Methodist church hall to an audience of about a dozen. The basic thrust of his theory is that the Twin Towers were brought down by 'Mossad secret agents working with a cabal of US arms manufacturers, the FBI, the CIA and blessing of the US government'. Fair enough, some might say. However, Shayler then claims that the planes involved in the attacks were 'missiles wrapped in holograms'. At this point the author puts forward a theory of his own. Could Shayler be an MI5 plant 'designed eventually to discredit the so-called 9/ ...

... the Moon-owned Washington Times. Her essay on Mozambique, as well as part of the on-going attempts on the right to legitimise RENAMO, is also the springboard for a sustained attack on the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office. She offers the now familiar hard-right American position: all the armies currently being run by the CIA/BOSS/the Israeli state - all the 'contras' - are "genuine national liberation movements which are already pro-Western" and should, therefore, be supported. It's the dream of 'roll-back' in the Third World. The British state and to a lesser extent the Reagan Administration - certainly the State Department - ...

... any oversight. In the mid-1970s the Senate Intelligence Committee headed by Frank Church warned that 'if not properly controlled, ' the NSA's technology 'could be turned against the American people at a great cost to liberty. ' For thirty years the NSA obtained copies of most telex messages entering and leaving the U.S ., and the CIA illegally intercepted thousands of first-class letters as they left the country. If the high-tech NSA were ever turned against us, Church said, 'no American would have any privacy left.... There would be no place to hide. '( 1 ) One word -- privacy -- summed up the debate ...

... attack by 'AQIM', led by Mokhtar Belmokhtar, occurred at a BP installation at Amenas, Algeria, in early 2013. According to Britain's late Foreign Secretary Robin Cook, 'Al-Qaeda' simply means the CIA's 'computer file or database' of mujahideen proxy fighters funded, armed, and trained by America's Green Berets, Navy SEALS and CIA, and Britain's MI6 and SAS from 1979 to 1989, in an effort to 'draw the Russians into the Afghan trap' and destroy the Soviet Union, to quote Jimmy Carter's National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski.3 9 In 1994, one of the fighters, Osama bin Laden, visited London where he established a front bank and ...

... authoritarian; between open and democratic. But really I'm just interested in the nature of political and historical reality. I've read Professor Freedman's excellent book on the U.S . intelligence estimating process; (2 ) but I also read books about UFOs. Both are part of political reality as I see it. Indeed both overlap: the CIA is certainly interested in UFOs. A loose alliance of intelligence officers in America, led by a CIA officer named Ron Pandolphi, has spent the last 20 years running disinformation at the American UFO buffs. If you have watched the X Files TV programme you have been watching themes first invented by Pandolphi and his crew. Which is an ...

... '. (17) In 1956 the DAC touched off a heated controversy after Task Force reprinted a lengthy attack on a Russian exile group known as the National Alliance of Russian Solidarists (NTS) by Peter J. Huxley-Blythe, then a prot g of Knupffer. (18) The article, 'Insecure Security', accused the CIA of financing the NTS; Huxley-Blythe claimed NTS was really under KGB control. Knupffer and other White Russian monarchists especially despised the NTS because it had collaborated with CIA plans to balkanise the former Russian Empire by supporting an independent Ukraine. (19) Huxley-Blythe's piece so enraged the Solidarists that Task Force was forced to print ...

... 15 Inside 'Inside Intelligence'Inside Intelligence Anthony Cavendish Palu Publishing Ltd. 1987 Although many hundreds of books have been written on British Intelligence, very few have tackled post-war intelligence in any kind of depth or with any degree of reliability. By contrast, we tend to believe that we know quite a lot about the workings of the CIA. But even this isn't true. The major part of the CIA's work is concerned with the National Intelligence Estimates, collating and assessing information on the perceived Soviet threat, and not covert operations as many would like to believe - and as most writers on intelligence imagine. Even so, we know virtually nothing of any substance about the ...

Now it may be true that Haseler is not the important figure in starting the SDP ball rolling CIA asset Brian Crozier claims in his 1993 book Free Agent, but there can be little doubt that he had a considerable transatlantic role before and during the life of the SDP, none of it mentioned by Crewe and King.
