... the assassination is to ask who benefited from it? (cui bono?), and who had the power to cover it up? Since 1963 many of the assassination researchers have followed this advice. For many it is practically axiomatic that complicity in the cover- up following JFK's shooting implies complicity in, or knowledge of, the murder conspiracy. From the cover-up the trail can be followed back to the crime. But practically the entire U.S . establishment took part in the cover-up: national and local government agencies, the mass media, the political system, and the Kennedy family and its political allies -- all played a part in foisting ...

... $19.95, ISBN 0-9664100-7 -6 . Available from http://store.disinfo.com. Phil Edwards I once sat in on an interesting conversation between two well known writers on the underside of politics. At one point, one of them alluded disparagingly to one of the scruffier areas of the conspiracy fringe - UFOs, maybe. The other reacted immediately: 'Oh, you don't want to go there! ' The first agreed enthusiastically, and a kind of double-act developed: 'Mind control? ' 'Don't want to go there! ' 'Remote viewing? ' 'Don't want to go there! ' 'Hilda Murrell? ' 'Don't want ...

... (c ) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 46) Winter 2003 Last | Contents | Next Issue 46 Jim Jones and the Conspiracists Jim Hougan In an article in the Journal of Popular Culture, (1 ) one of the editors of the Jonestown Report considers the role that conspiracy theories have played in the unfolding narrative of 'Jonestown'. It is a worthwhile endeavour to which few scholars could bring better credentials. Rebecca Moore is a professor of religious studies at the University of California at San Diego. Two of her sisters died at Jonestown and, with her indefatigable husband, Fielding McGehee, Moore has probably done more than anyone to explicate the ...

... (c ) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 19) May 1990 Last | Contents | Next Issue 19 Way out West: a conspiracy theory Stephen Dorril A current example of a conspiracy theory is the continuing attempt to paint Roger Hollis as a member of the so-called 'Ring of Five'. There is, it should be said, not a shred of evidence that Hollis ever passed a single piece of information to the Soviets, nor that he had any contacts with Soviet intelligence officers or agents. But this doesn't hinder the conspiracy theorists who will seize on any scrap of evidence to bolster the Hollis theory. As history shows, conspiracy ...

... The Bilderberg Conspiracy: Inside the world's most powerful secret society H. Paul Jeffers New York: Citadel Press, 2009, $14.95 (US), p/b Colin Challen I feel cheated. Once again, a publisher's desire for an eye- catching title has led to an anticlimax. Jeffers goes out of his way to provide a balanced judgement on the Bilderberg group8 of high-ranking businessmen, politicians and others who meet annually to hold secret discussions about how the world should be run. Certainly there's enough evidence in the operation of the Bilderberg group to satisfy credulous conspiracists – the secrecy, the high security, the guest lists – but there is ...

... Conspiracy theory in America Lance deHaven-Smith Austin: University of Texas Press, 2013, $20, h/b In a 2006 essay, 'When Political Crimes Are Inside Jobs: Detecting State Crimes Against Democracy', Professor deHaven-Smith gave us the term SCAD, state crime against democracy. When I read his essay I didn't think the term had much chance of becoming widely used – Peter Dale Scott's deep politics and parapolitics had failed to make much headway – but I may be wrong. The term is getting quite a deal of traction as a Google search will show. There was a conference in London a couple of years about SCADs. Or so I ...

... ) listening to lunatics claiming he was totally innocent and it was all a false flag operation organised by the New World Order (or whatever). One thing of note that we learned from this trial: using the same legal definition, Tsarnaev had weapons of mass destruction while Saddam Hussein didn't. The first signs of the inevitable pro-conspiracy deconstruction of the bombing appeared almost before the smoke had cleared. As usual, this was a mixture of the odd, the anomalous and the inexplicable. There was also a truly unpleasant spin-off theory in which maimed civilians caught on video were dismissed as 'crisis actors' with pre-existing amputations. The most interesting aspect from ...

... anyone still believes the official version of the incident – pilot error – not least because of the behaviour of the authorities after the event: a perfunctory official inquiry took place at which witnesses who saw things which didn't fit the official verdict of 'pilot error' were marginalised or ignored and photographs were doctored. It looks like the standard formula: conspiracy and cover-up. The evidence assembled over the 50 years since can be construed to plausibly support a scenario in which the plane was brought down by a bomb, or was shot down by another aircraft. Many of the eyewitnesses near the scene reported seeing a second, smaller aircraft near Hammarskjold's plane before it crashed. And after ...

Kennedy and he acted alone....But no serious scholar of the president's assassination will ever write again on the subject without citing Bugliosi....With this work, Bugliosi has definitively explained the murder that recalibrated America. It is a book for the ages. ' 'Bugliosi is refreshing because he doesn't just pick apart the conspiracy theorists. He ridicules them, and by name, writing that "most of them are as kooky as a $3 bill"....What Bugliosi has done is a public service; these people should be ridiculed, even shunned. It's time we marginalized Kennedy conspiracy theorists the way we've marginalized smokers; next time one ...

Kennedy. What was the purpose of Oswald's visit to Mexico City? Was it Oswald or an impostor who visited the Cuban and Soviet embassies? And what was the role of the local CIA station in all this? Such questions remain unanswered partly because the House Select Committee on Assassinations refused to release its 300 page report, ...
