... Donovan Pedelty While fully acknowledging the pertinence to my theme of the 'secret state' referred to by Raymond Challinor in his generous review of my book, The Rape of Socialism ( Lobster 37 ) in defences of my street cred as an anarchist, I must take issue with his comment that I write 'as if these politcal Peeping Toms [the intelligence and security services] of the State did not exist'. State subversion of the rights of the governed to know 'what is going on' and to freely comment on it is dealt with in a chapter entitled 'Labour's Leviathan', in which I offer the view that, given shortage of space to cover an immense amount of relevant ...

... volume DTP work. Armstrong's finding may be the most significant research breakthrough in years. But we're not talking about the immediate pre-assassination 'second Oswald' who went around rather clumsily impersonating the real LHO, we're talking about a shadow Oswald who can be documented from the early 1950s onwards. As Armstrong states: In the early 1950s an intelligence operation was underway that involved two teenage boys: Lee Oswald from Fort Worth and a Russian-speaking boy named 'Harvey Oswald' from New York. Beginning in 1952 these boys lived parallel but separate lives, often in the same city. Sounds incredible, eh? Well it is. But Armstrong scrupulously documents his case, largely with ...

In 1997 she became Chair of the Atlantic Council and she has since been appointed to the Intelligence and Security Committee.(4 ) The SIS-John Smith connection extends a little further. John Smith's widow, Lady Smith, was appointed to the SIS-front organisation, the Hakluyt Foundation.

... the Western Daily Mail on 4 August 1998, Pincher reported the following. A Mr Einar Sanden, living in Cardiff, has researched the life of a famous Estonian footballer, called Evald Mikson. Mikson, learned Sanden, had worked with the Germans when they invaded Estonia in 1941, and had interrogated a captured Estonian agent of Soviet military intelligence, the GRU. (One may imagine that in such circumstances - an Estonian working for the Nazis - such an 'interrogation' was, as British military-intelligence patois has it, 'robust'.) Said interrogated GRU agent told Mikson that he had recruited Hollis for the GRU in China in 1927. Further, author Sanden has ...

... far as it has a central thesis, it is that Jones initiated the Jonestown massacre because he feared that Congressman Leo Ryan's investigation would disgrace him. Specifically, Jones feared that Ryan and the press would uncover evidence that the leftist founder of the Peoples Temple was for many years a witting stooge, or agent, of the FBI and the intelligence community, where it was feared that Ryan's investigation would embarrass the CIA by linking Jones to some of the Agency's most volatile programs and operations. This, I believe, is why Jones's 201-file was purged by the CIA immediately after Jones's suspected case-officer, Dan Mitrione, died. As we'll subsequently see, Mitrione was ...

... context. Where does David Stafford stand in all this? While not an out-and-out Churchillian, nevertheless what we have in this volume is the discovery that Churchill was one of the architects of the British Secret State. He played, we are informed, 'a far more important and active part in the creation of Britain's modern intelligence community than is generally recognized'; and, moreover, his 'lifetime shadow war' in defence of British interests, culminated with Operation Boot, the overthrow of Mussadiq in Iran.(1 ) What we have here is a 'Churchillised' history of the Secret State. While Stafford's general thesis is unconvincing, the book does throw some ...

The incremental uncovering of the Information Research Department (IRD) story has been one of the continuing threads of British parapolitics since Richard Fletcher's pioneering work on it in the mid 1970s; and for several years now a synthesis of all the extant material on IRD has been waiting to be done. ...

... South Wales Argus on 13 December 1944, and given that a gigantic edifice of UFO speculation totters on these tiny foundations, the inclusion of such an item severely jeopardises any claim the authors have to writing a serious historical work. Have they never heard of St. Elmo's Fire? Or could a simple explanation just be legitimate disinformation from Allied intelligence agencies? And what about the Germans' known experiments with TV and radio-controlled anti-aircraft missiles? A top secret Nazi project is probably the least likely explanation. Some fresh information does emerge. The Russians captured an intact DFS 346 (a very high altitude reconnaissance jet) in 1945 and flew it on trials from 1946 ...
