... for Progress (I think he is a little harsh on this).3 Even so, as Cox describes Kennedy's conflicts with most of the major lobbies in America, from the mafia to US Steel, his eventual murder feels unsurprising. He does not suggest a solution. He asks (p . 284): 'Was there an assassination conspiracy, as Bertrand Russell and his Committee feared?.... ' This is odd. Like most of the better writers on the subject, he may not be sure of the conspiracy's composition but Cox knows there was an 'assassination conspiracy'. All the books in his bibliography argue that and it determines his selection of material from ...

... The Conspiracy and Democracy Project Robin Ramsay W ith a grant from the Leverhulme Trust, the Conspiracy and Democracy Project began in January 2013 at Cambridge University, with some academics at the helm.1 The title of the project, Conspiracy and Democracy, might suggest that it is going to deal with the issue of how conspiracy as a practice undermines or impacts upon democracy. It might, for example, examine all the state conspiracies which now exist within this society; and since the armed forces, police, security and intelligence services (and the big corporations) are almost entirely unaccountable, such research would be entirely apt. It would be only a slight exaggeration to say ...

... maintaining UK technological expertise: something for which it is deemed worth buying a clearly inferior aircraft at an extra cost of $95m each. It is odd that this logic, and the related vast subsidy, wasn't extended to the Nimrod programme. The absence of an urgent letter from Sir Nicholas MacPherson advising ministers is also noteworthy. 'Official' conspiracy theory T he death of Major General John Strawson was noted by a couple of broadsheet obituaries recently. Strawson collaborated with Sir John Hackett as the (uncredited) co- author, in 1978, of the popular best seller The Third World War – 1985. In this the USSR deliberately starts a massive conventional war by invading western Europe ...

... HAARP, and the "Full Spectrum Dominance" of Planet Earth Elana Freeland Feral House: Port Townsend, WA, 2014, $21.95 ISBN: 978-1 -936239-93-1 T here's not enough information about weather warfare. Most books on the subject are either obscure academic histories or off-the-wall conspiracy theories. For example: the late Jerry E. Smith's Weather Warfare (Adventures Unlimited Press, 2006) begins as a sober, scholarly history of weaponized weather systems but — just as it gets to chemtrails and HAARP — deteriorates into outlandish nonsense: that aliens and demons may be to blame. Likewise, internet sites are full of ...

It was knowledge of this network and its methods which enabled Blumenthal to identify what Hilary Clinton eventually called the 'vast right-wing conspiracy' against her husband. 19 If you think the British libel laws are too restrictive, Blumenthal's account of the extraordinary fictions about Clinton which the American right were able to publish and broadcast under the much looser American system might make you wonder how far we should liberalise the British laws. 20 And still available, though expensive, from ...

... gave to a talk to my own branch of the Labour Party and laid a simplified version of the thesis in this book before them. Nobody took it seriously. I didn't expect them to. I had already tried – and largely failed – to persuade the members of my branch of the Labour Party that the Militant Tendency really was the conspiracy in the party that the party's leaders, various Militant defectors and a couple of well- researched books said it was. People who attend meetings of political parties – the dreaded 'activists' – may be a tiny self- selecting minority but they seem to be no more able to confront difficult problems than any other group.

'Frenchy' – eventually recognised him in those photographs.13 Holt's story If Holt is lying about this, the rest of his tale has to be treated with great caution. And it is a striking story. Holt tells us that he was (unwittingly) involved in this conspiracy at four points. He was actually with Lee Harvey Oswald in the incident when Oswald handed out pro-Castro leaflets in New Orleans; he'd been sent down by his CIA contact to give the reluctant Oswald a hand. He claims he is in one of the photographs of that incident. Some say he is; the picture's too ...

The 2001 Anthrax Deception: The Case for a Domestic Conspiracy Graeme MacQueen Atlanta: Clarity Press, 2014, $19.95, £12.99 ISBN 978-0 -9860731-2 -0 Anyone remember the American anthrax scare of 2001? I'd pretty much forgotten about it until I read author Graeme MacQueen who says that it was a key part of the 9/11 events that took the United States and its allies to war in Afghanistan and then Iraq. He claims much more, but first a reminder of the events themselves. Within days of 9/11 a number of people received letters containing anthrax spores, the attendant publicity greatly swelling the panic ...

' But Scott became dissatisfied with this and moved away from 'consciously diminished.... covert politics' – which is perhaps treading too close to conspiracy theories, or theories about conspiracies – to deep politics: 'all those political practices and arrangements, deliberate or not, which are usually repressed rather than acknowledged'. As a reader of Scott, the shift to deep politics from parapolitics was seamless: Scott's writing on 'deep politics' is like his writing on parapolitics, only more detailed ...
