... in Ulster leaked to show that Harold Wilson had lied to the House of Commons This story - essentially that the Labour Government was exaggerating the numbers of SAS men they had sent to Northern Ireland - appeared in the Daily Express, courtesy of Chapman Pincher. It was discussed in The Times which commented that "the Opposition front bench and some Conservative back-benchers with unusually reliable military sources nursed suspicions on Monday that the Government had been more interested in public relations than a tougher military response in Armagh".

... between the anti-semitic/neo-fascist activities in the U.K . and those in Australia are strikingly demonstrated in Dennis Freney's Nazis Out of Uniform: Dangers of Neo-Nazi Terrorism in Australia (14) The mixture of overt racists and anti-semites, neo-Nazis and the right-wing of the 'respectable' conservative parties which Searchlight has been documenting in this country, is almost exactly duplicated in Australia. (One of the major differences is that in Australia Butler plays a much more significant role than Martin has ever achieved in this country.) Analogous New Zealand activities, including seven pages on another Butler off-shoot, the New Zealand League ...

... from what made him sick. Then there was the arrest, trial and acquittal under the Official Secrets Act of the respected and influential retired economist, civil servant and author, Dr. Bill Sutch. There was the Moyle affair in which a police report about Colin Moyle's nocturnal activities on the streets of Wellington somehow got into the hands of Conservative leader Muldoon. There was the "Think tank' affair, in which the newspaper Truth concocted a conspiracy fantasy in which Labour was going to nationalise all the financial institutions of the country. There was the Freeman-Jays affair, in which Rohan Jays, a supposed NZ SIS man (who we now know to have been MI6 ...

... the name. Its origins and membership were (and still are) as deeply cocooned in mystery as those of the most exclusive Masonic lodge. It appears to have been founded by the French statesman, Antoine Pinay, and when he retired Julian Amery took over the chairmanship. It seems to have been a small assembly of European and American Conservatives meeting on an ad hoc basis once or twice a year, for two or three days at a time, to exchange views on world affairs. Because of his knowledge and understanding of the Middle East and North Africa, Billy was a most acceptable candidate for membership, which, in due course he acquired. He had already attended ...

... puppets, with their manipulator's hand inserted up their backs and controlling their every move, left-wing terrorists were more like marionettes, dancing on the end of invisible strings; their manipulation was an altogether subtler art. The ideal for the secret service marionette-masters was, after all, to use left-wing extremists to serve their conservative cause without any direct contact or collusion'. Some elements of his case he argues persuasively -- for instance the possibility that with the 1974 arrest of the 'first generation' BR leaders Renato Curcio and Alberto Franceschini, their place may well have been taken by secret state assets such as Mario Moretti (someone whose frequent escapes from arrest ...

Although it is difficult to parody the Stalinist mind, I doubt that even the Cominform would actually have written that 'new and and concentrated effort must be made by specially suitable undercover activists to penetrate into that bastion of British capitalism and so set up the strongest possible Communist cells within the Conservative Party .. .. '. This document, I suspect, is a product of the Foreign Office's Information Research Department (IRD). This impression is greatly strengthened by Braddock's report of another document, called 'MVD Information' (MVD became the KGB) 'which circulates to executives of the Soviet secret police and secret service'. ...

It is possible to detect an interfering signal during any speeches or interviews or any images of the opposition parties [on television]. The signal ceases abruptly when Conservative Party images or words come on the screen'. This is technically feasible, I believe, though no convincing evidence is available yet.

... . We are thus treated to the strange spectacle of Wilson, as PM, standing virtually alone in No. 10 Downing Street. This can only be described as a Lobster state, existing in the minds of the authors. To make matters worse, we are never told what it was that Wilson's lonely struggle was designed to promote or conserve. It was not socialism, since we are assured 'Wilson was never a socialist' (p . 167). We learn on the next page something of his supposed corporative ideas; our authors seem not to know that the nearest approximation to a corporate state in modern times was Mussolini's Italy. Their own political standpoint emerges when they ...
