... are trying to con people (and possibly themselves). The right has interests not ideas. Many on the right are really much further right than they admit in public. Behind the conservative is the proto-fascist. (The fascist menace.) In the mirror image, behind the social democrat is the revolutionary left. (The communist menace.)(3 ) As well as being a reflexive response, 'contamination' or anathematization is a tactic used by the left (and right) to attack opponents; and, within their internal politics, to exclude or undermine actual or potential opposition in the struggle for power and control of the political agenda.

... there. In 1946 the ONI appealed to Lu-iano's parole board. He was released from prison and deported to Italy -- where he built up a heroin syndicate. The immediate postwar problem in places like Italy and France, from the point of view of both the CIA and entrenched interests such as the Mafia, was that many Communists had been anti-fascist Resistance fighters, and as such were attractive to voters. The Marshall Plan aimed not merely to rebuild a war-torn Europe; it aimed to rebuild Europe in such a way that no Communists could ever win an election. To this end, the CIA played a major role in administering Marshall Plan aid ...

... it contains banal errors, Le Bailly doesn't bother with documentation, and it is xenophobic - Germanophobic - to a fault. This is in his conclusion: 'There can never be a true definitive answer to the influence of the Bilderberger Group in the ongoing defeat of British parliamentary democracy by Germany, by jealous continentals, by naive Americans and by communists, until there is a defector from its steering committee prepared to tell the world what this utterly secret and seemingly conspiratorial group is up to.

... . This appears still to be the basic assumption of most academic teachers of politics, most of the mass media, and, I fear, most of the Parliamentary Labour Party. The importance of Wallace, Holroyd, Peter Wright, Cathy Massiter et al in the 1980s was their falsification of this theory. MI5, the FBI and the Communist Parties of Britain and America In The Clandestine Caucus (3 ) I referred, in a footnote, to the extraordinary penetration of the Communist Party USA by the FBI.

... wrote this straight from his memory. Which is a pity. The only section that struck me comes towards the end when the author rails against the importing of women's, gay, peace and race issues into the CPGB and wider Labour Movement. 'There was nothing Marxist about any of this. These issues were used quite deliberately to undermine the Communist Party and the Labour Movement in general. ' (emphasis added) This is an interesting claim which I have heard before; but, like the rest of the book, it is wholly unsubstantiated. And do we really believe that, say, MI5 are that sophisticated? Open Secrets is the newsletter of the Coalition on Political Assassinations ...

Centrally it shows how Communist Party members from various countries, under presumed if not illustrated Soviet control, created the World Federation of Democratic Youth and the International Union of Students; with the subsequent retaliatory creation, by the UK and USA, of the World Assembly of Youth (WAY), the International Student Conference and COSEC (Coordinating Secretariat).

... of Silvia Duran's so-called statement of November 23,1963, to the Mexican DFS (Dirección Federal de Seguridad), about her interviews of Oswald in the Cuban Consulate. The successive changes mirror the shift in the Mexico City CIA Station's view of Oswald, from a 'phase-one' position (Oswald was part of a Cuban Communist conspiracy) to a more standard 'phase-two' position (Oswald was a lone nut). From other sources we learn that the DFS itself, as well as the CIA Station, pushed the 'conspiracy' story hard in their November 23 interview. Revisions to the Duran statement seem also designed to bring her story into line with ...
