... 'From the 1920s, the Round Table ceased to be of much relevance as some members developed international interests wider than imperial matters... ' Carroll Quigley, of course, is not cited - not even for refutation - and the closest we get to him is the comment of the Round Table that 'as an organization that shunned publicity, conspiracy theories abound.... ' However, the authors go on to note that the Council on Foreign Relations and the Royal Institute for International Affairs (RIIA) 'emerged after the Versailles Peace Conference', and note further that the RIIA 'spawned several offspring throughout the Commonwealth. Entwined with both the RIIA and its sister offspring, the ...

... called Kerr who is on the political wing of the UDA. ' And just to assist Searchlight readers guess the identity of the 'Catholic teacher' - why so coy suddenly? - Larry O'Hara is the subject of two of the next three paragraphs. Just for a second to look for a quasi-rational defence for what is virtually a conspiracy to get Larry O'Hara assaulted - or worse - Searchlight could be said to have this key position: Nobody is allowed to talk to fascists; those who do will be vilified; no platform, no contact with the enemy. Except, excuse me, isn't one of Searchlight's directors Michael Billig, and didn't he interview members of the ...

... or refrains from mentioning - ISC's intelligence role. He may not have had time to read Brian Crozier's memoir Free Agent, but this does not excuse such an omission. Consequently he has missed the extent to which Mrs Thatcher was, in the shorthand of the British Right, 'a patriot'; in other words, someone who accepted the conspiracy theory of 'the enemy within', in which the Soviet Union ran the CPGB, which ran the unions, which ran the Labour Party. Thirdly, his knowledge of the political - as opposed to ideological - antecedents of Thatcherism is inadequate. On page 222, for example, he writes that 'The Grunwick dispute .. .. ...

... to buy one of these CD-ROMs, the smart money will go with the Investigation but, alas, it does not contain the House Select Committee Report, so the Encyclopedia will have to go on the shopping list too for that reason alone. I wish I could be more positive about the Encyclopedia. It is firmly pro-conspiracy where the Investigation is open-minded (you decide, it says) and Jane Rusconi certainly knows her way about this neck of the woods - she was responsible for the valuable research notes in JFK: the Book of the Film (New York: Applause Books, 1992) I paid 35.00 for the Investigation in the ...

... and even the seriously unimportant Scottish Nationalist activist fringe got a double page spread in the Sunday Telegraph of August 24, headed 'White Settlers Go Home'. (And no doubt an hour with the Times or Guardian Index for the past few years would produce more supporting evidence.) Gerald Macklin, one of two IRA members convicted recently of conspiracy to cause explosions, made a speech from the dock in which he noted that 'MI5 claims to have had the alleged IRA active service unit under constant surveillance yet allegedly lost them every time a bomb was planted.....

... crop. Given the vast amount of attention paid to Gerald Posner's 'Oswald did it after all! ' apologia, Case Closed, it is unfortunate that Russell's book still hasn't found a UK publisher. The Man Who Knew Too Much has a unique take on the 'whodunnit' aspect of the assassination, a synthesis of the left and right wing conspiracy theories: Oswald was involved in the conspiracy to murder the President; and he was an FBI informant and a CIA or Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) agent; but he was also working for the communists as a double agent of the KGB or GRU! Russell proposes that, having been sent to the USSR as part of ...

The first crack in the wall was in the Evening Standard of 22nd December, in which Keith Dovkants described the operation, as the sub-heading to his piece had it, as 'a classic sting operation set up by MI5 who were alerted to the conspiracy by a paid informer'. This was apparently revealed to Dovkants by two Polish journalists who had been tipped off that all was not what it seemed. Dovkants claims the UDA buyer was steered towards a phoney company set up by the Polish secret service to buy the guns. The shipment was then monitored back to the UK. The ...
