... Megrahi go back to Libya, pretending that he is 'serving his sentence' there. Hey Joe In September the US State Department put out a briefing, 'How to Identify Misinformation'. Before 1990 such a document would have been about Soviet disinformation campaigns; and this one begins with some well known examples of Soviet disinformation before proceeding to attack conspiracy theories. It names only three current sources of conspiracy theories: the two websites, Rense.com and Conspiracy Planet, and 'Australian private investigator Joe Vialls, who died in 2005'. Thus I learned that Joe Vialls had died. Vialls first hove into view in a curious epilogue to the Tony Collins book on the apparently mysterious ...

... and reviewed the options available to them. 'The problem has arisen because of fundamental ideological differences between CFB/IFF/ISHR [International Society for Human Rights] and Western Goals. Whilst the former generally takes a very libertarian line on most issues, Western Goals seems increasingly obsessed with the ideas of racial superiority, a strong state and Jewish conspiracies. The questions is therefore whether we should respond and, if so, how far do we go? The following options are available: completely ignore Western Goals in the hope that this activity will subside. This seems unlikely. Monitor its activities and even infiltrate an activist into the organisation. This is ready to start. Respond directly ...

... Phillips, the former CIA officer considered by the Select Committee on Assassinations as a possible candidate for the true identity behind the cover name'"Maurice Bishop" -( 2 )- reacted strongly when this book was published in the summer of 1980. He contacted top executives in newspapers and television, making himself available to counter passages in Conspiracy concerning him. As a result, I took part in discussions with Phillips on prominent television programs. In the course of these approaches to the press, Phillips contacted the editor of the Washington Post. Subsequently, when a reporter -( 3 )- was assigned to the story, Phillips revealed the real identity of former CIA officers ...

... is no general interest in these fields in this country, even if it is done well; and I haven't talked to anyone who thought Undercover was done well. Not unlike Undercover are Back Channels and Paranoia. Back Channels -- a great title -- describes itself as 'a quarterly magazine of both historical and modern espionage, assassination and conspiracies' and I have the first issue, from 1991. This contains a number of potentially interesting articles -- 'FDR's spies', 'JFK and the French Connection', 'Top Hat and Fedora' -- for example, which are not treated in enough detail. Maybe things have changed since this issue. A sample copy for $ ...

But is the document genuine? We will probably never know: the CIA certainly won't confirm it.

The Times wants us to think there might be a connection but a clearer example of the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy is hard to imagine. The Times followed their tiny 'scoop' with a version of three other familiar 'British conspiracy theories', as they put it, about Wilson. The Times sections are italicised A KGB plot One conjecture connects Harold Wilson to the sudden death of Hugh Gaitskell, his predecessor as leader of the Labour Party. It claims that Gaitskell, a pro-American, had been assassinated by the KGB in order to install a communist ...

... Military Secret Service (SISMI), who had proposed the plan to the Camorra. (Times 18 June 1983) This allegation has appeared before, in 1983, when it wasn't taken up with the seriousness it deserved. Information which has been collected since then means that its recent publication will make it an important lead in untangling the undoubted conspiracy formed around Agca's "confessions". The tale begins in 1981 when Ciro Cirillo, the Christian Democrat leader in Naples was kidnapped by the Red Brigades. Cirillo was released three months later when the terrorists claimed that they had received the equivalent of 700,000. The Christian Democrats, the Secret Services (who were heavily involved) ...

The main thesis is that Diana was killed because she was being groomed as the figurehead of a campaign to usurp the House of Windsor (apparently a front for the Masonic style of government imposed when the Hanoverians were offered and took the throne) and restore the purer Judaic-Merovingian-Stuart dynasty.
