... of anti-Soviet feeling among some of the West's intellectuals and a response to the Soviet 'Peace offensive' then underway.(5 ) At the time funds for these gatherings were said to have come from the American Federation of Labour, via Jay Lovestone - a story offered up again recently by CCF apologist Peter Coleman in his The Liberal Conspiracy. In fact they came from the CIA, something alleged by the Soviet bloc's media at the time but not believed.(6 ) The one thing the Congress for Cultural Freedom's paymasters were not interested in was cultural freedom. Peter Coleman does his best. Of the first big 1950 jamboree he writes, 'almost all the participants were ...

Just as most liberation theologians could not abandon the Catholic Church, the US Left cannot abandon the central theological foundation of the USA – an idea that it is socio- political salvation compared to Europe. When people write that conspiracy theories distract from greater political movement, this has the same cognitive and rhetorical function as the insistence even among radical clergy on the legitimacy of the priesthood, the mass, and the elected Papacy for the guidance of world Catholicism. Producing the cadre It is somehow fitting that the three main elite institutions for producing the cadre (Harvard, ...

... 12.00 per issue of around 180 pages. Survival In The 21st Century Survival In The 21st Century first appeared in July 1985 but I didn't catch up with it until tipped off about it by Roger Sandell. Subtitled "Things Japanese and Provocative Information", Survival is a bizarre mixture of anti-Semitism, US far-right conspiracy theories (mostly reprints from Spotlight), some of the freakier bits of the US Christian (sic) right, with large doses of psychological gibberish, misinformation about AIDS and - perhaps the ultimate point - special pleading on behalf of Japanese economic expansion. And the April and June 1987 issues have large inputs from ABN. Picking a ...

... with the guns' are the gunmen who shot Kennedy, and the book's plot concerns a hunt for them a decade or more later. It's a good idea but it doesn't quite come off, neither as a thriller, nor as a roman a clef about the Kennedy assassination. But there is material of interest here for the student of conspiracy theories. For this, to my knowledge, is the first book which has included within it the basic thesis from The Gemstone File, an American samizdat which has been floating around the world since 1976. The Gemstone File is interesting to me because it got me started in all this muck when it appeared in the late lamented International ...

... .) The Konformist The best parapolitical/conspiratorial e-mail newsletter I have seen is Robert Sterling's The Konformist. In this there is everything from the most preposterous nonsense from the loony fringe of America (William Cooper and dumber), via an enormous range of writing on the entire spectrum of single issue subjects (murders, scandals, conspiracies, CIA, mind control, etc.), through to major, solid pieces about the New World Order, MAI, consumer boycotts and so forth. The ratio of junk to the worthwhile used to be about 70-30; but as it expands he's getting better material and the loopy stuff is diminishing. To get it ...

... Green Anarchist and Animal Liberation Front) case was, to their discredit, largely ignored by the mainstream media, despite having serious implications for press freedom. In November 1997, 3 editors of Green Anarchist magazine (Saxon Wood, Steve Booth and Noel Molland), were convicted and sentenced to 3 years in jail after being found guilty of conspiracy to incite 'persons unknown' to commit criminal damage, for reporting details of environmental and animal rights direct actions. Public Interest Immunity Certificates were used to suppress evidence, eg of MI5's role and intelligence-gathering methods such as surveillance and informers. The 3 were freed on bail pending appeal in March '98 after serving 4 1/2 ...

... 41 RIP The Fourth Decade & Probe Alex Cox Two major American parapolitics journals closed at the beginning of this year. Both were primarily dedicated to the JFK assassination, though Probe also covered the King family's landmark case and its successful outcome -- establishing that Dr Martin Luther King was killed, not by a lone assassin, but by a conspiracy. This story was largely ignored by the American and British media, including our own dear Guardian, whose American reportage is in a class of its own when it comes to stumblefootedness and unthinking fealty to the neo-liberal line. Does it seem strange that I refer to neo-liberalism in the context of the King and Kennedy ...

... It quotes veteran Spotlight Bild-erberg-spotter Jim Tucker, Daniel Estulin, author of a very bad book about the group,(5 ) and Jon Ronson. It names a few recent British participants. The authors note that 'Left-wing conspir-acy theorists believe that Bilderbergers form a capitalist nucleus' (this belief makes us conspiracy theorists?) but gener-ously concede that 'there is a germ of truth in this'. But lest the reader take it too seriously, they quote Metropolitan Sera-phim, the bishop of Piraeus, as describing the Bilderbergers as 'a criminal cabal of world Zionism and its efforts to set up a cruel world dictatorship'. ...

But Kinnock fell at the final fence in the election that year and by 1997, when Tony Blair's New Labour wrested power from the Tories, Oyston was in jail, serving a six year sentence for the rape and indecent assault of a young woman. The secrets of the conspiracy that destroyed Oyston's business and political career now lie in a huge archive gathered during the twenty years in which he was tormented by secret enemies, the four years in which he fought multiple rape charges and the three years he spent in prison, refusing to admit his guilt.
