... policies are not possible when your country is one of the world's leading arms exporters; when you have military personnel serving in 71 countries, including those champions of democracy and human rights, Bahrain, Brunei, Colombia, Indonesia, Kuwait, Oman, and Saudi Arabia;(2 ) and when you are very junior partners with the most murderous imperialists since the World War 2.(3 ) In those circumstances an ethical foreign policy' is a joke - and a disaster waiting to happen. The last major figure who talked like this in office was Jimmy Carter and he got royally screwed by his foreign service and intelligence people.

... Has a DNA test solved the Rudolf Hess doppelgänger mystery? Andrew Rosthorn It is forty years since the publication of The Murder of Rudolf Hess by the former British Army surgeon Hugh Thomas. The introduction to that book was written by Dame Rebecca West, a daring feminist and ally of Orwell in the 1930s anti-communist awkward squad who had a son and a ten-year affair with H.G . Wells. In her introduction, West suggested it was'. . . the duty of those who have consciences to take over the task where Mr Thomas leaves it and ascertain by the simple tests this book suggests whether the demented survivor in Spandau is or is not ...

... Grayling rejected Nadir's request for a transfer from a British to a Turkish prison, some of his supporters uploaded to their website, jancom.org, a document, described as a CIA intelligence report, naming two British former SAS men as the killers of Dr Gerald Bull, the designer of Saddam Hussein's so- called supergun. The unsolved murder of the 62-year old Canadian-born engineer Gerald Bull, shot dead outside the door of his Brussels flat on March 22, 1990, has been variously attributed to the Israeli secret service Mossad, the CIA and the Iranians. No-one heard the silenced shots and twenty thousand dollars in cash lay untouched on the body ...

... LBJ: doubles and disinformation Garrick Alder Lobster readers will be aware of the relationship between US President Lyndon Johnson and his alleged personal hitman Malcolm Mac' Wallace, who is linked by forensic evidence to the assassination of JFK. This article explores some of the circumstances of another convicted murderer with alleged links to the Kennedy assassination, the late John Liggett. One episode of Nigel Turner's much-slated TV documentary series, The Men Who Killed Kennedy', broadcast in 2003, featured an interview with Lois', the pseudonymous former wife of Dallas funeral technician John M Liggett. In the programme as aired, the former Mrs Liggett related how her husband had been called away from ...

... the security forces, he writes: To republicans and nationalists it was clear evidence of collusion between members of the security forces and the loyalist paramilitaries' (emphasis added). Not so: it was clear evidence to anyone. Taylor describes how, using state intelligence, the UDA's targeting' of the Nationalist community improved: fewer Catholics were murdered at random, more IRA members. Another way of describing these events would be this: the British Army was running the UDA's assassins against the IRA - and successfully, too. In effect, in the late 1980s the British state decided that while they could not kill the IRA openly (the late Alan Clark MP's solution: let ...

... age in the limelight. Mainstream journalists have lavished attention upon Files' tales in a way that they have have not done with other assassination confessions', of which there has been no shortage. It's easy to see why. Files is a genuine gangster and a would-be killer (his 30-year sentence was for an attempted murder committed in 1991), and he presents a simple story that circumvents the bewildering forest of forensic, ballistic and eyewitness evidence relating to the case. An entirely representative example of such coverage can be taken from The Daily Mail, which has published at least four stories about Files in the last three years. In a 2015 story, ...

... investigate the assassination is to ask who benefited from it? (cui bono?), and who had the power to cover it up? Since 1963 many of the assassination researchers have followed this advice. For many it is practically axiomatic that complicity in the cover- up following JFK's shooting implies complicity in, or knowledge of, the murder conspiracy. From the cover-up the trail can be followed back to the crime. But practically the entire U.S . establishment took part in the cover-up: national and local government agencies, the mass media, the political system, and the Kennedy family and its political allies -- all played a part in ...

... It was only in the intelligence sphere – which the majority of 1970s Iraqis were seeking to avoid – that it had high visibility. Some Iraqis were sought out by the SIS; but for the most part the spies interested in the community were not Brits but fellow Iraqis.1 In due course there were unexplained deaths, suicides, obvious murders and hellish other incidents. These came as one-offs or in waves. They stopped as quickly as they started, only to kick off again just as a semblance of peace of mind was being restored. Although largely invisible to mainstream Britain, the fear and hysteria this engendered within the Iraqi community and those associated with it was ...
