Ah, closure Doug Thompson, while communications director for the re- election campaign of Congressman Manuel Lujan of New Mexico, met former governor of Texas, John Connally, on a plane in 1982. In the course of the conversation Thompson asked him if he thought Lee Harvey Oswald fired the gun that killed Kennedy? 'Absolutely not, ' Connally said. 'I do not, for one second, believe the conclusions of the Warren Commission. ' So why not say so? 'Because I love this country and we needed closure at the time. I will never speak out publicly about what I believe. '17 This is the base line ...

... man for South African Intelligence, one of my jobs as a journalist propagandist was to attack any book which criticised the South African Government or the policy of apartheid. One of the most dangerous disclosures I made in my book was that BOSS had a top secret 'death squad' known as the 'Z-squad', which was formed to kill Pretoria's known enemies, particularly those living in exile outside South Africa. This expose was treated with ridicule when my book came out. But the world's newspapers obviously believe me now because they invariably name South Africa's 'Z-squad' as the culprit when a South African exile is mysteriously murdered overseas. Since I made that disclosure literally dozens ...

... MI6 really be so reckless as to employ him in the first place?49 – but the connection is intriguing. It raises the possibility of an MI6-inspired plan for Johnson Jnr (as a leader of the official 'Leave' campaign) to take a dive and deliver a referendum 'Remain' result. (If Nigel Farage had been killed in that near-miss in October last year, as discussed in Lobster 71) that would have helped). And there can be no doubt that Johnson had no intention whatsoever of procuring a 'Leave' victory. If this wasn't sufficiently illustrated by his ridiculous claims during the campaign, and his utter stage-fright after it, ...

... Gambino family. They were originally the Mangano family. He was also seen as a major link in the heroin trade, co-ordinating relations between the Sicilian and the Northern Italian families. This link between Berlusconi and Mangano was first revealed in an unbroadcast television interview by Borsellino, the anti-Mafia magistrate, in 1993. He was killed weeks later. Berlusconi was investigated for two years with reference to the killing but there was insufficient evidence to bring charges. Berlusconi has dismissed the charges of Mafia associations as ludicrous. However, it is traditional within the Mafia for a senior figure to have as his bodyguard/chauffeur a rising young star. For example, Vincent Giganti ...
