... to Britain's (and the USA's) national 'culture' of 'intellectual honesty', which is something else for us to congratulate ourselves upon. It also helped that Churchill and Roosevelt were more open- minded than Hitler and Stalin. Reinforcing this trope were the exploits of the brave 'few' in the Battle of Britain – 'few' against the Nazi 'hordes' – and the much bruited morale and good humour of the little English people in their slums – 'never mind, dear, put on the kettle and we'll have a nice cup of tea'1 – under the impact of Blitzkrieg. That's the popular British version. The saturation bombing of Dresden seldom features. 1 From Beyond the Fringe ...

... own connections with corrupt, drug-linked forces in other parts of the world. ' The peculiar American twist to this sequence of events has been the accompanying noisy, utterly futile, 'wars' on drugs. As Edward Herman's book (reviewed in this issue) would have it, this is beyond hypocrisy. It's rather as if the Nazis had simultaneously spent tens of million of pounds preaching racial tolerance and cultural diversity while stuffing the ovens. Building on the courageous (but largely ignored) investigation by Senator John Kerry's terrorism and narcotics subcommittee into the contra-cocaine-CIA connections, the authors pile up layer after layer of further evidence of those links. The result is ...

... on the Kenn Thomas books pp. 45 and 6. I got Danny Casolaro wrong (review of The Octopus): had it as Danny Casaloro a couple of times - which, as Kenn points out, is Italian for stew, so not wholly inappropriate, given my comments!

... from the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall. He says there are now no counterweights to the corporate state, with profound consequences for those seeking to live and survive in that new dispensation. His Death of the Liberal Class is not a book for faint hearts. It has much of the challenging force of those German anti-Nazis – Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Fritz Reck-Malleczewen are two names who come readily to mind – who steadfastly marked out the ground in earlier battles for rights, decency and integrity in a disordered world.

... Commission was correct. In the Globe and Mail of January 21 this year there is another large piece by Mr Van Wynsberghe, 'Memoirs of a former conspiracy theorist'. You can get a whiff of this from its subtitle: John F Kennedy's Assassination is still a magnet for every popeyed wahoo clinging to a theory incriminating Freemasons, UFOs, Nazi satanists, psychic cliques and the abominable snowman. ' This is a wonderful (bad and good 'wonderful') exercise in guilt by association. Some of the piece will be familiar to Lobster readers, for Van Wynsberghe began his intellectual odyssey, in print, anyway, in Lobster 24 with his 'Occult thinking in the JFK Assassination' ...

' Walter, come off it. This is nutzoid stuff, believed by white separatists, the 'States' Rights' and neo-nazi crowd. They cannot build prisons fast enough to jail all the pot-growers and crackheads, never mind everyone else as well. The problem is, there is some interesting stuff here. I certainly believe that a form of mind control exists: unfortunately it seems to be entirely voluntary. Every time we plonk ourselves down in front ...

... with the impossibility of finding out what is happening inside its upper reaches, means that conspiracy theorists have free rein. However O.D . simply rebuts them by pointing out the lack of positive evidence. This problem pervades the whole book. Friedlander discusses various scandals that people have tried to associate with Opus Dei, including the Vatican/Nazi ratlines to South America, the Banco Ambrosiano/Robert Calvi case, the Swiss Guard murders and even alleged murders of recent Popes. As there is no proof of O.D . involvement and the organisation itself denies any involvement, the author simply returns his verdict of 'nothing to see here move along'. (He may well ...

... New Orleans when ordering Fair Play for Cuba literature. And there are other intriguing connections and coincidences. Eddowes thought that Osborne was either a freelance or Soviet intelligence agent, The Oswald File, op cit, p. 65. I'm not sure what freelance means in this context, but for the Soviets? No. Osborne was pro-Nazi during the Second World War. There are frequent mentions of Osborne in Eddowes' The Oswald File, but the key text remains Dick Russell's The Man Who Knew Too Much (New York: Carroll and Graf/Richard Gallen, 1992), pp. 483-7 .

... Winer writes: 'Progressive ideology cries out for a new kind of critical analysis and an enhanced quality of historical interpretation'. 'Progressive ideology'? Yes, the author is apparently an apologist for the Soviet Union. For example he writes: 'The Soviet Union had [in 1945] never invaded any part of Europe except in answer to the Nazis and as a liberator' (p . 88). Wasn't there an invasion of Finland? He explains away the post-war Soviet repression of Eastern Europe by blaming it on disinformation and paranoia spread by the US and the UK. The failure of the Soviet revolution is apparently the result of chicanery by its Western opponents. This ...
