... 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 ...

... would take long to do. We thought it was going to be a fairly routine investigation. We didn't expect to find that there was much to the allegations of collusion, quite honestly. 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? Or should we be depressed that senior police personnel could be so far ...

... 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.

Suddenly the investigators can use phrases like this could not really be explained', he was unwilling to discuss', she would not come to the phone ' Before you know it, researching too diligently can slip into a fuggers' fugue of accusation, with all manner of folk supposedly conspiring to murder someone in a rigged car crash – even the dog in the Fiat Uno. For those who think these rules are somehow an attack on investigative journalism (this used just to be called journalism but given the current low standards of the trade the phrase has some useful descriptive value), here is a defence – which also happens to ...

... 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 television portrayal of government or war was for all intents and purposes its essence. What was not seen on television – never happened. It is necessary to bear this in mind when reviewing the events of the past weeks. The vicious and obscene snuff- movie broadcast throughout the world in which the conquest of Libya is consummated by Qaddafi's murder was not accidental. When Ronald Reagan called Qaddafi a mad dog' he was following a carefully honed script. This mad dog' imagery – that of an animal infected with rabies who can only be put down' – is the language of the West, the language of slaughtering Native Americans and making trophies out of their body parts ...

... decades of autocratic misrule. ' I wonder how long it took him to come up with autocratic misrule' as a description of the fate of the peoples of Guatemala and Iran after the Americans installed their puppet regimes. To call what transpired in Iran and Guatemala autocratic misrule' goes beyond euphemism to deception. Tens of thousands of people were murdered in Guatemala in the 1970s and 80s by death squads trained and armed by the US. And the threat of communism' in Guatemala wasn't tendentious': it was an invention to justify overthrowing the government. Would we call the brutality of Iran's SAVAK autocratic misrule'? Can't we admit that the US installed and supported a whole parade ...

... purposely been made more complex than the reality deserves and the above statement should be held in mind whenever reading this book. It is quite fair to say that everything I read or see about developments in North-ern Ireland has been given a new pers-pective. It is one that shows conclusively that the British government colluded with the murder of lawyers sympathetic to the republican cause in that province. Their names may be familiar: Pat Finucane and Rosemary Nelson. The question revealed for us all is, how far has the cornerstone of our democ-racy crumbled? In a work of impeccable scholarship, a heavy but rewarding read, Beatrix Campbell has described not only the ...

... the Lincoln assassination was most definitely a plot, involving four would-be assassins, only one of whom – John Wilkes Booth – managed to kill his intended target. Booth's unsuccessful co-conspirators were: George Atzerodt (who was meant to kill Vice-President Andrew Johnson) and Lewis Powell and David Herold (who were meant to murder Secretary of State William H Seward). Of them all, Herold was the key accomplice. He not only acted as Powell's guide to Seward's home, but later helped the injured and fugitive Booth reach the rural practice of a sympathetic medic. Booth's surviving co-conspirators were all tried and hanged in 1865, after a trial that ...
