... by Brian Crozier, a specialist on insurgency, who has long been an asset of various Western intelligence agencies. To give only one example, he formerly played a leading role in the London- based Forum World Features news service', which was subsequently exposed in the mainstream American and British press as a propaganda agency for the CIA and MI6. For excellent summaries of the histories of Crozier and ISC, see State Research 1 (October 1977) and appendices 1 and 8 of Lobster 11. Nevertheless, many monographs in the ISC's Conflict Studies' series are informative and reliable. This doesn't seem to discourage Henze, who argues that we are past the point where it serves ...

... Army's dirty tricks' operations in Ireland. In 1975, with Loyalist paramilitaries, and the SAS unit at Castledillon, MI5 helped undermine the ceasefire. Loyalist killings of civilians increased from 87 in 1974, to 96 in 1975, to a peak of 110 in 1976.(28) The truce with the IRA had been secretly negotiated by MI6 in the aftermath of the Birmingham pub bombings. Ambush has scant details of this, although it confirms that the Army were furious' with the secret talks with the IRA, believing that they had the IRA on the run'. Colin Wallace confirmed in 1980 that MI5 officers in Northern Ireland not only objected to Wilson being Prime Minister ...

... positive contact had been made with George Bush as well. Colonel Botta stated that, in his opinion, support must be given to the Israeli intelligence service. It was noted that, as far as Europe was concerned, the efficiency of this service had diminished considerably. (4 ) The contacts in 1980 between George Bush and ex-MI6 and Circle member Nicholas Elliott are even more interesting now that Bush has made it to the top; but perhaps the most significant element in the Langemann papers is the illustration of the international dimension of parapolitical manipulation represented by the Circle's promotional activities. It is becoming more and more apparent that the treatment reserved for Harold Wilson at the hands ...

... the Foreign Service soon after coming down from Oxford in 1960 and was firmly rebuffed, despite a recommendation from Sir Roger Hollis, of the rival Security Service, MI5." (2 ) Waugh was close to the Hollis family. Roger's brother Christopher was a godfather to Waugh and the two lunched together. (3 ) Waugh perhaps means MI6 when he refers to the Foreign Service. This makes sense as his uncle, Alec Waugh the author, had worked for MI6. Another relative Auberon Herbert had worked in intelligence in the Middle East. His father, Evelyn Waugh, had knowledge of intelligence during the war and the family moved in intelligence circles which included Tom Driberg, ...

... attempts to organise a peace. This is described in some detail in Higham's earlier Trading with The Enemy. (13) Should we believe Higham? Neither of his two books in this area are adequately documented - perhaps just to keep other researchers off his sources. Higham says, for example: In the summer of 1937, according to MI6 files in the Ministry of Defence, London, Bedaux met with the Duke of Windsor, Bedaux's close friend Errol Flynn, Rudolf Hess and Martin Bormann .. . At the meeting the Duke promised to help Hess contact the Duke of Hamilton, who had a direct link with Himmler and Kurt von Schroder and the Worms Bank through their ...

... or more accurately, former members, of the most important western security and intelligence services, eg the Comte de Meronges, ex Director of the French SDECE. Furthermore he has a close relationship with Mr Dickie' Franks, Director of the British SIS and his closest assistant Mr N. (Nicholas) Elliot who was a department head in MI6. Crozier, Elliot and Franks were recently invited to Chequers for a working meeting. It must therefore be concluded that MI6 is fully aware of, if not indeed one of the main sponsors of, the anonymous security group. Also closely connected with Mrs Thatcher and Mr Franks is the prominent journalist Robert Moss, who, together with ...

... taken a single document from the files of any department and who has never written one single illegal word?" (19) Regular readers of Lobster will be aware of de Courcy's background, but briefly: before the war de Courcy had been active in appeasement circles through his Imperial Policy Group which was close to Chamberlain and the head of MI6, Sir Stewart Menzies. A prominent anti-communist, de Courcy and the IPG had been active supporters of encouraging war against the Bolsheviks - a policy which inevitably had its enemies. De Courcy again: "During the war Rothschild was an important official in the Security Service. In position he was ardent in pursuit of all those ...

... . Jean-Claude Lesquer - the Action Service chief who had organised the Rainbow Warrior sabotage.) Apart from the right-wing revolt from within the service, the DGSE had also come in for criticism for low productivity in intelligence-gathering. Its information on the Soviet Union or China is scanty and basic in comparison with CIA or MI6 material, and a report indicating a Libyan withdrawal from Chad in 1984 proved embarrassing when it became apparent the following year that the Libyans had actually been reinforcing their presence in the country. (Guardian 16 August 1985) The service blamed the situation on the failure of government to give it adequate resources or areas of responsibility, an isolation ...
