... of the Romanian fascist Iron Guard. In January 1941, he was one of the instigators of an anti-Semitic pogrom in which hundreds of Jews were killed, many with horrific cruelty, even by the standards of the time. He successfully avoided any post-war difficulties, eventually arriving in New York as a bona fide anti-Communist in July 1951. Here, in less than a year, he achieved the remarkable feat of becoming not only a priest in the Romanian Orthodox Church, but a full-blown bishop, taking the name Bishop Valerian. On 11 May 1955, Bishop Valerian actually conducted prayers in the US Senate, probably the only man to have ...

... apparent advance knowledge of the plot of John Martino, a minor criminal and anti-Castro activist. He presents a selection of the known and reliable evidence to suggest that the anti-Castro Cubans – with organised crime and/or CIA links – planned to kill JFK, and leave a dead Oswald framed as a pro-Castro, communist assassin, triggering another US invasion of Cuba and scuppering JFK's plans to do a deal with Castro. This is terribly plausible, a good hypothesis, and Hancock handles the immensely detailed material very well; but the basic problem remains: the trails all peter out as we arrive at Dealey Plaza. In the next section he shows how ...

... hear speakers give what they claimed to be confidential briefings "off the record". The real reason which could not be told publicly for our entry to the common market was because our intelligence service had learned the Soviet Unions had plans to invade Western Europe and these would be carried out once the trade unions in Western Europe led by a Communist Fifth Column had fomented widespread strikes to prevent the invasion being resisted.

... the objectives we can. ' Last year as Silvio Berlusconi and David Mills faced money-laundering charges in Milan, it became clear that this was the end of an era, the denouement of the populist politics that we can now call Blairusconism. Parallels The parallels between the two leaders are striking. Berlusconi emerged after the death of the Communist Berlinger in 1984, while Blair moved (famously quickly) after the death of John Smith in 1994. Both rode high on the promises of constitutional reform; Berlusconi in an unholy alliance with the Liga Norde, Blair in a desperate attempt to stave off the growing popularity of the Scottish National Party. Both emerged to 'clean-up ...

... Workshop Greg Grandin New York: Metropolitan books, 2006, $25.00 Reviewed by Adrian Kozlowski Reviewing a biography of Harold Laski in 1953,( [1 ] ) the historian A. J. P. Taylor remarked on 'the dilemma of our times': that 'no-one who believes in liberty can ever work sincerely with communists, or trust them, yet no-one who has socialism in his bones can ever condemn communism without reserve. ' During the Cold War, leftist critics of US foreign policy had another dilemma to consider: how much weight to give their criticisms in the light of Stalinism's crimes.

And didn't Big Al's green credentials impress you when he was Bill Clinton's vice-president and you were an eager young Guardian newshound in DC? Freedland's fellow Guardian columnist Martin Kettle, the Communist turned great friend of Tony Blair and New Labour, has just discovered the City of London is not all it's cracked up to be. As the Square Mile starts just down the road from his Farringdon Road office, and as Big Bang occurred in 1986, two years after Comrade Kettle joined the paper, this might be considered something ...

However, in the judge's ruling on evidence admissibility, this phantom witness Oshchenko allowed the Prosecution to present a list of prejudicial points and assertions which undermined my credibility and character in the jury's eyes: I was a member of the Communist Party in the early 1970s. Oshchenko was a KGB officer in London in the 1970s and had defected in 1992. Oshchenko recruited me as a KGB agent in the mid 1970s. Oshchenko trained me in tradecraft techniques. Oshchenko told me to break with left-wing activity. Oshchenko directed me to find work on government projects. I ...
