How, indeed, could it be otherwise in a world full of intelligence agencies, national security bureaucracies, clandestine revolutionary organizations, economic pressure groups, secret societies with hidden political agendas, and the like? No monolithic conspiracy There has never been, to be sure, a single, monolithic Communist Conspiracy of the sort postulated by the American John Birch Society in the 1950s and 1960s. Nor has there ever been an all-encompassing International Capitalist Conspiracy, a Jewish World Conspiracy, a Masonic Conspiracy, or a Universal Vatican Conspiracy. And nowadays, contrary to the apparent belief of millions, neither a vast Underground Satanist Conspiracy nor ...

So I took no more notice, except to recount the story as a funny joke, until Will Warren visited me soon afterwards. Will had come out of the Communist Party at the same time as Newton and told me that his divisional committee of the party had once devoted a whole meeting to discussing whether Harry Newton was or was not a police spy. The general view was, apparently, that he was so obviously one, that he couldn't be one in fact. ' From Eric Preston: ...

The CIA and British trade unions An important piece appeared in issue 9 of Perspectives. Peter E. Newell writes (albeit briefly) of his experience in the 1960s producing anti-communist prop-agenda for the journal of the Union of Post Office Workers, and his concomitant contact with personnel from IRIS, the CIA and the ICFTU. Perspectives is a curious journal, sort of politely nationalistic, produced by, inter alia, a former big cheese in the National Front, Richard Lawson, using a pseudonym. These ...

The Labour League of Youth of the pre-war period had been heavily infiltrated by the Communist Party, a leading light being Ted Willis - later Lord Willis. I saw much of the CP in action in Leeds and met many of their members. Harry Newton was born in 1922 and would only be 17 when the war broke out. He claimed to have joined the CP before the war but I never met him. ...
