... came to Britain. The Prosecution claimed I was recruited to the KGB by Oshchenko in the mid-1970s, when he was based in London, although no evidence has ever been produced to show I met him. Stella Rimington, referred to as Mrs C during the trial (she was then MI5 Section Head in charge of studying hostile intelligence agencies), said under oath there was no evidence I had ever met anyone in the KGB. Rimington said Oshchenko arrived in Britain on 29 August 1972 to work at the Soviet Embassy as a 3rd Secretary, but he was identified as an agent-running KGB officer within 12 to 18 months. He was allowed to remain in ...

The human rights organisation Liberty took his complaint about interference with his communications and other forms of surveillance and harassment, to the Investigatory Powers Tribunal. The IPT is the body set up under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA) to hear complaints relating to conduct by the Security and Intelligence agencies, and complaints about phone-tapping. It also deals with claims under the Human Rights Act 1998, s7(1 )( a ) that a public authority has acted in a manner incompatible with a Convention right. In this case it was claimed that the Convention right guaranteed by Article 8(1 ), the right ...

... (c ) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 8) June 1985 Last | Contents | Next Issue 8 Books The Great Betrayal Nicholas Bethel (London 1984) This is either a 'snow job', designed to discourage further research in this area (British intelligence attempts to destabilise Soviet and communist influenced regimes), or is just a poor effort on Bethel's part. One can't deny that it is useful - after all, it is the first book written solely about an MI6 operation - but one is disappointed by its thinness and its viewpoint. Bethel's (partly legitimate) excuse is that documentation is unavailable because of Kim Philby's involvement in the planning ...

... half an hour before the coup took place." The W/C piece in Lobster 14 remarked on the presence of Paul Freeman in Fiji. WPR adds information on Freeman, mostly from the Fiji Sun 9th July 1987. "Paul Freeman was involved in a destabilisation action against a NZ labour government in 1975. He received a Security Intelligence Service (SIS) file from an SIS employee, Rohan Jays, with embarrassing information about a Labour MP. Freeman publicly handed the file to the Prime Minister, thus ensuring that a scandal would develop over whatever was in the file. The scandal was exploited by then leader of the opposition (later PM) Robert (piggy) ...

... 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 a phony 'military defectors' programme run by the CIA or ONI, the 'self-indoctrinated' Marxist Marine Oswald actually did go over to the ...

... affair is quite odd. For Shayler is the quintessential, contemporary, football-mad, New Labour-oriented, a-political technocrat - someone who can use the word 'modern' without blushing and putting it in scare quotes. (Shayler's complaints about MI5 can be seen in his submission to the Cabinet Office Review of the security and intelligence services, printed here as appendix 2: they are almost entirely bureaucratic and technical.) In a recent column of his in Punch - issue 93 in the present, post Al Fayed, takeover series - he comments on the hypocrisy of his persecution while the former SIS officer with the pseudonym Alan Judd, gets access to the diary ...

... Media Society himself. But one 'big target' the 86-year-old was conspicuously reluctant to go for during his editorship of The Sunday Times was the Cold War influence of the United States on the Labour Party, the European Movement and British trade unions. In 1972 Richard Fletcher was commissioned by The Sunday Times Magazine to investigate US intelligence activities at the time of Hugh Gaitskell, and when many questioned the funding source, among other things, of Encounter magazine which much favoured the Labour leader's Cold War stance. The article was meant to complete the then impressive and innovative Sunday magazine's unofficial history of the 20th century series. The 5,000-word piece which named ...
