... Diana, Princess of Wales, Dodi Fayed and Henri Paul which appeared in Lobster 37. Since it was written there have been a number of interesting developments- the publication of Trevor Rees-Jones' book; James Hewitt's impromptu recreation of the fatal car journey; Mohamed Al Fayed accusing the Duke of Edinburgh of being the mastermind behind a plot to murder Diana and Dodi; and the possibility of inquests on Diana and Dodi taking place. A correction A significant correction to the article needs to be made. When the findings of the French Public Prosecutor were announced in September 1999 most newspapers implied that they were publishing either the full report or that they had seen the full report and were ...

... theory is that the money came from P-2, the rogue masonic lodge which Berlusconi had joined in 1978. These alleged associations have continued to dog Berlusconi and his reputation for the best part of a decade. Others have arisen from them, including an accusation that was examined by the magistrates for two years, that Berlusconi was complicit in the murder of magistrates investigating the Mafia in an attempt to cover up his own Mafia associations. He is currently on trial for the alleged bribing of a judge. I will examine both the allegations and Berlusconi's attempt to deal with them in more detail below. For now, it is sufficient to note that they are the reason it is increasingly ...

... and headed for Dallas. On November 24th he was shot dead by Jack Ruby. Clay Shaw, Jim Garrison (and others) In mid-February 1967, nearly three and a half years after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, news reports emanating from New Orleans claimed that the local district attorney, Jim Garrison, was investigating the President's murder. Within a week Garrison was holding a press conference and claiming that he had 'positively solved the assassination of John F. Kennedy'. On the day the news of Garrison's investigation broke in the local New Orleans States-Item newspaper, David Ferrie contacted the paper claiming he was targeted in Garrison's investigation as the getaway pilot for the Dealey Plaza ...

... seen by poking the rifle out of the window before the motorcade passed by. The Mannlicher-Carcano which could be tied to Oswald and three spent rounds were left for the authorities to find. But framing a live Oswald would have been impossible: he would have talked of his activities with the FBI and CIA and the plan must have included Oswald's murder. (The fact that Oswald went home after the shooting to pick up his revolver suggests that he had some inkling that he might be in danger.) If Holt's account is true it could explain the apparent presence in Dallas that day of the Major General Edward Lansdale. It was Colonel Fletcher Prouty who identified Lansdale as being in ...

... Agency is and the fact that American politicians are aware of what it is capable of is shown by one telling episode. When President John Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, his brother, Robert Kennedy, the Attorney General, 'asked the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, John McCone, point-blank, if the CIA had been responsible for the murder.' The fact that he expected a straight answer shows how distraught he was.(4) One point worth considering here is why it is that the United States maintains such a large covert capability and indeed makes such regular use of it. This has not been a feature of earlier empires is a response to the informal nature ...

... intensified over time, with German Jews being progressively deprived of their civil rights, excluded from the life of German society, prevented from earning a living, reduced to abject poverty and subjected to humiliation and violence at the whim of the Brownshirts and the like. In the 1930s, German Jews were robbed, beaten, tortured, raped and murdered with complete impunity as part of the attempt to force them out of their country. Cesarani brings home the plight of German Jews most effectively by quoting the African American W. E. B. DuBois' condemnation of the Nazis after a visit to Germany in 1935. He told his African American audience, who had more than enough ...

... year. (2) It was due for release immediately after the general election, but has yet to appear. Andrew Pollack (3) of the Irish Times has said that police enquiries have been frustrated by the silence of a former military officer, Colin Wallace, currently serving a ten year sentence in Lewes, Sussex, for the murder of his mistress's husband in 1980. Wallace told both the Royal Ulster Constabulary and the Sussex police that he would be in breach of the Official Secrets Act if he talked to them. Major Wallace is probably wise to stay silent. There is a great deal to conceal, and as Kenneth Littlejohn and John Black discovered, the British ...

... the British clandestine border crossings: 'the badger' is responsible for scheduling the Gardai border patrols. Through 'the badger's' knowledge of Gardai operational details, the RUC's paramilitary Special Support Unit and E4A covert surveillance team, and Loyalists on orders from the SMIU were able to launch a series of cross-border incursions which, according to Holroyd, involved one murder, two attempted kidnaps and several undercover surveillance missions. One of these operations, in March 1974, is the beginning of the Stalker saga- an attempt by Loyalist paramilitaries briefed by the SMIU to kidnap INLA man Seamus Grew, later to be one of the victims of the 1982 'shoot-to-kill' incidents. According to Holroyd, three Loyalist ...

(Bolden and the Chicago incident are discussed at length in Vincent Palamara's The Third Alternative- Survivor's Guilt: the Secret Service and the JFK Murder. See Lobster 27 pp 26 and 31 for how to obtain this. Palamara's work, though badly organised, deserves a much wider audience.) The second JFK piece is a discussion by renowned JFK photographic expert, Jack White, of L. Fletcher Prouty's identification of General Edward Lansdale in Dallas on 22 November 1963.

... . (Belfast Telegraph 18 September 1973). But how seriously this should be taken is impossible to evaluate. Tommy Herron as socialist leader sits uneasily with the widespread reports of Tommy Herron leader of East Belfast's UDA extortionists. Elliot and Herron were both assassinated by persons unknown. The British state and other Protestants have both been accused of the murders. Dave Fogel fled to England, gave a number of press conferences about the in-fighting inside the UDA, dropped a few hints about the left orientation of Herron and Elliot, and disappeared. (See, for example, Sunday Times 28 January 1973) At various times the UCA were said to have been in discussions with the Peoples ...
