They pointedly told him CW had just blown, minutes after it happened....RUC were assisting Essex police to put pressure on Steele (eventually with death threats) in the hope that he might provide information to help their (Essex) ongoing December 1995 Rettenden Triple Murders investigation. Cameron notes that Essex police admit there was no Rettenden-Irish connection. The calls were part of covert Operation Century. Only one national newspaper, The Sun, featured what its reporter called 'the bizarre plot'. Years of studying crime and police news had not prepared Cameron for reading about a police suspect being bombarded with ...

... a foam-flecked apoplexy, they have charged like a lynch-mob after a silly old Tankie, whose 'betrayal' turns out to have been negligible, ludicrously equating her with Nazi war criminals and demanding, effectively, a political show-trial. At the same time they have hypocritically called for the release of a real mass-murderer, General Pinochet. Disappointingly, the exiled MI5 whistle-blower, David Shayler, has added his tuppenyworth to the tabloid calls to 'string 'er up', prompting the suspicion that he is more like Peter Wright (a bitter-and-twisted reactionary criticising MI5 from the right) than a principled whistle-blower such as Cathy ...

... Mark Lewis and 'the ultimate hacker' Andrew Rosthorn The appearance of solicitor Mark Lewis at the Leveson Inquiry on November 30 provoked an angry response from a former client whose complaints have so far been unreported in the British media. The solicitor advocate who acts for the the parents of the murdered teenager Milly Dowler is accused of introducing one of his clients to a notorious private eye who bugged telephones in a defamation case. The Legal Complaints Service has examined the allegations from a retired civil servant, Mrs Pat Middleton, but ruled in 2008 that her complaint about telephone tapping lay outside their jurisdiction. Mrs Middleton, 61, former treasurer of a Manchester Conservative club, has now discovered ...

... . It has been amply demonstrated that stories about UFOs and extraterrestrials serve various intelligence bodies as a useful way of discrediting people or other organisations. It is this discrediting tactic that is the focus of the present work. 1: Flights from reason In 1999, private detective Milo Speriglio1 published a document purporting to indicate that Marilyn Monroe had been murdered because she knew too much about the cover-up of human contact with extraterrestrials. Mr Speriglio said that this document had been passed to him by UFOlogist Timothy Cooper, who in turn claims to have received it from a retired CIA counterintelligence officer.2 Mr Speriglio's document is supposedly a CIA eavesdropper's summary of a telephone call between popular ...

... June 1964), pp. 139-43, Archive of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR). In the first week of December 1963, William Walton, a friend of the Kennedys, met Georgi Bolshakov, a Russian intelligence officer, at the Sovietskaya Restaurant in Moscow. Walton told Bolshakov that the Kennedys believed JFK had been murdered by a right-wing, domestic conspiracy. The source for this is Comrade Bolshakov's December 1963 memo to the GRU; and the authors' interview with Bolshakov in January 1989. Such information, they report, caused the Soviets to distrust Lyndon Johnson as the Texan beneficiary of the conspiracy. 'By the end of December, KGB analysts ...

... father-in-law Hjalmar Schacht, steered relatively clear of post-war political fascist movements. His self-perceived role, and that which made him useful to his British and American friends, was not as a fascist politician but as a parafascist mercenary asset, analogous to those German Freikorps leaders employed by German industrialists in 1919 to murder Communist activists, but unlike them, active in the transnational arena. Let us adumbrate this distinction. Fascism is a fully-fledged political movement, marked by a demagogy, a mass party, the cult of violence, and a militant ideology emphasising nationalism and militarism against both bourgeois democracy and its concomitant, international capitalism.

... war': there is no war, only terrorism or crime. Hence also the difficulties involved in killing IRA/INLA personnel, at its most acute in the many ambushes carried out by the SAS and other special units in Northern Ireland (and Gibralter). Without a state of war, setting an ambush is just a conspiracy to murder. No declaration of war means killings are legally problematic unless certain special circumstances pertain. Hence, finally, the endless, laughable courtroom accounts -- usually at inquests -- from soldier 'A' et al of how the dead IRA or INLA suspect 'moved his hand aggressively', 'seemed to be going for a gun' etc etc ...

The claim that officers from the security forces had supplied Loyalist gunmen with the names and addresses of people they thought were terrorists in order to have them murdered seemed too fantastic to have any basis. ' (Unidentified senior officer quoted in The Sunday Telegraph 30 March 2003) Should we be reassured that life in the UK is still civilised enough for such innocence to survive in a profession not generally noted for its innocence?
