... The Secret Team, first published by Prentice-Hall in 1973. The content of the book has never been an issue; everyone agrees that it is valuable. It makes no difference to Berlet whether the book is important or useful, or that Prouty's latest book JFK: The CIA, Vietnam and the Plot to Assassinate John F. Kennedy (New York: Birch Lane Press, 1992), offers unique perspectives based on his own experiences in the Pentagon. And never mind that no one else offered to reprint Prouty's book. Berlet's point is that Prouty should not have given his good name to Liberty Lobby. And once he gave his name, everyone should avoid Prouty ...

... 1981.26 As well as detailing those same skill-sets that appeal to intelligence agencies, it was stated that the CIA had sent one of their recruitment staff to the city of Provo in Utah. Their specific task was to recruit from the Brigham Young University, which is wholly owned by the Mormon church. Even today, the Kennedy Center at Brigham Young has a CIA recruitment page on its website.27 In the 2016 U.S .

... attended Healy's funeral in 1989 and wrote a warm forward to a biography of Healy published in 1994. Healy had been denounced in the mid 1980s as a serial rapist and sexual abuser of vulnerable female members of the SLL and WRP over a long period of time. The Conservative candidate against him in the February 1974 general election had been George Kennedy Young, the former Deputy Director of MI6. For Young on Young see his 'The final testimony of George Kennedy Young' in Lobster 19 . A more plausible explanation, given what we now know, would be that his replacement was part of a plan worked out in advance by Livingstone, Knight and others, which assumed, pre ...

... were deeply flawed. When historians test a theory they should concern themselves not only with the forensic details but with its fundamental plausibilty; and this can only be gauged by placing the events the hypothesis seeks to explain in a wider historical context. Remarkably, for example, Andrew suggested that the international obsession with the assassination of John F. Kennedy was a good example of unhealthy interest in conspiracies. Now while the actual circumstances of the murder may be difficult to determine we can ascertain that the President had enemies in the CIA and in the Mafia. (90) This does not mean that the CIA and the Mafia killed Kennedy: but it does mean that the hypothesis that ...

Shades of Robert Kennedy! In 1963, immediately after his brother's assassination, Robert Kennedy is said to have asked the then head of the CIA, John McCone, if the agency had done the dirty deed; and to have "asked the question in such a way that he couldn't lie to me." I've always wondered which way that was. ...

... planned for, with a lease taken on the British-owned island of Diego Garcia from 1964. During the numerous Senate and Congressional hearings on developing Diego Garcia, much DoD disavowal of leaked plans for Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) support and B 52 basing had failed to convince strong Senate opposition from such as Gary Hart and Edward Kennedy. It had also signally failed to convince the Russians. A little publicised but highly significant factor in drawing Soviet agreement on SALT 1 had been a de facto moratorium on both expanding the 'austere' island facilities and regular SLBM deployment in the Indian Ocean.(13) Many in the US arms control community had hoped to formalise these ...

Brown – who in Mattinson's account is surrounded by US advisers and even calls an ailing Senator Edward Kennedy at one point to ask if a general election should be called in the UK – decided against an autumn 2007 general election.2 2 Why?
