... ' theory about the CPGB. I assume that MI5 knew that her theory about the role of the CPGB in the strike was false; but MI5 didn't need to believe it to act as they did. An industrial trade union, led by CPGB members and ex-members, opposing government pol-icy, was more than enough. The nonsense the communist conspiracy theory in Mrs Thatcher's mind was of no relevance to MI5. But it surely is relevant to this story. Beckett and Hencke give us an expanded take on the received version on the centre-left: the miners had no choice but to strike, lost a lot of political support by not having a national ballot, and stayed out far ...

... determined, or at least very heavily influenced, by domestic interest groups( 'lobbies') putting pressure on politicians. In this context the Rolls Royce of 'lobbies' are clearly the 80 pro-Israel groups in the US, of which the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is the biggest and best organised. This is not a conspiracy (it doesn't have to be under the US constitution) and is openly influential. AIPAC and its allies allocate campaign funding for candidates at all levels of public office, provided that they support Israeli policies. They mobilise the Jewish vote to swing close elections and in a country where most US citizens know little to nothing about either Israel ...

... .(16) And although we've yet to experience a UK equivalent of the Patriot Act (allowing the FBI fairly unhindered access to library records), a recent survey carried out by CILIP (the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals) indicates that libraries are experiencing 'increased police and security services activity.' (17) It's a conspiracy .'Our findings call into question current questioning about the function of conspiracy theories. If [they] are a means to provide explanations for uncertain events, or are a response to powerlessness, then it is surprising that people are not prepared to accept that they have been influenced by them.'

... to anyone wondering where their favourite stateside hack picked up his it usually is a he latest little gem. What's disappointing is how little insight into Atlanticism these big beasts of the journalistic firmament bring back to London when their Washington years have eased them up the career tree back in London. Michael White, still busy dissing any possibility of political conspiracy to his Guardian readers and BBC listeners despite being a Washington hack during President Reagan's IranContra years, is probably the worst of them in this regard. But his old Guardian colleague, Jim Naughtie, is not far behind and also has all his British American Project (Lobsters passim) baggage none of it disclosed to BBC Today programme listeners ...

... across the road from the Vatican is the shrine of Martin Luther, and then you can imagine what Baghdad means for both Shi'a and Sunni Muslims.' US/UK invaders deviously encouraged fear among both sects that the other would seek hegemony, inspiring 'polarization and bloody strife' (p. 35). Saddam Hussein joined a failed Ba'athist conspiracy in 1959 to assassinate President Quasim, who had gained power the year before in a nationalist coup that killed the Iraqi royal family and the prime minister. Quasim himself was ousted in 1963. In 1968 another coup brought Saddam Hussein's faction of the Ba'athist party into power. The leaders took advantage of CIA help, but Al-Ani argues that ...

There is a Dr. Sue Arrigo, who has made some extraordinary allegations, claimed to be based on personal experience,2 about covert ops, remote viewing and corruption in US intelligence and the Bush administration, which are being widely quoted on conspiracy theory sites.3 These stories are entertaining but highly improbable in places. A third Arrigo sister, Dr. Linda Gail Arrigo, says that Dr. Sue Arrigo is a schizophrenic and her tales are delusions.Dr. Sue Arrigo denies this, calls it a smear and claims to have been drugged and tortured by the CIA.

... Kennedy's 1963 American University speech he reminded the world that 'the United States will never start a war'. Forty years later, the results of his assassination were that the United States proved him wrong. In many ways, James Douglass has produced a book on the Kennedy assassination which ought to serve as a corrective for those not interested in conspiracy theory. It ought to be set against the Posners and Bugliosis who have had mainstream attention lavished on their lawyerly fabrications. It's one of the most important books on the subject in the past decade, and it's the one you would give to anyone for whom you wanted to set a starting point of scepticism about the official story. ...

... names, very difficult to follow; and one later chapter, covered in black redaction marks, is entirely impenetrable.) This is for American parapolitical initiates only. And Hop-sicker's attempts to weave the whole thing together is entertaining but no more convincing than any other attempt at producing what Tony Frewin once referred to as the Unified Field Theory of conspiracy. On Amazon.com's reviews of this book there are many raves; but continue on down through the second page and you come to a very destructive review by a former FBI agent, Delbert Hahn, who was interviewed by Hopsicker. Before buying this read that. Notes If the Zelig reference escapes you try <en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zelig ...
