... by one of its founders, Joseph Retinger, is now on-line.7 It is the version we knew already: Retinger and his chums (probably MI6) were anxious to improve relations between Western Europe and America. 'In our view the improvement of relations between America and Europe ought not to be undertaken through any special publicity or propaganda, since it was of far greater consequence to us to have mutual understanding and goodwill among men occupying the highest positions in the life of each country than to try to influence the man in the street directly. ' Retinger describes the formation of the group, the thinking behind it, the early meetings and personnel.8 None of ...

' This was inculcated into the popular consciousness and 'incorporated into the political culture, [and] shared especially by the upper circles of politicians, business elites, the military, and Christian institutions.....one of the most impressive propaganda achievements ever. ' This was facilitated by the fraudulent use and abuse of many treaties and numerous laws such as the Indian Removal Law and the Discovery Doctrine (if you 'find' the land you keep it) – all legitimated ideologically by 'superior' ethnocentric notions of being 'civilised' while Indians were godless 'savages' and so on. ...

... a considerable extent determine the volume of dishonesty in business. The fact that at present directors rightly believe that they have little chance of being held responsible for their incompetence or criminality means, quite naturally, that they are more likely to behave in such ways. But their propensity for doing so is also bolstered by thirty years of laissez faire propaganda by businessmen, academics, politicians and much of the mainstream media which has promoted the idea that state regulation is an evil, that the 'free market' will police itself in a way ultimately benign to society as a whole and that Gordon Gecko's 'Greed is good' is by implication a worthy aspiration for everybody. That has created a ...

... material throughout the Munich crisis. The existence of Luxembourg as an 'offshore' station for the Chamberlain government was thus extremely convenient for the pro- appeasement Tories who could use it for this purpose when the BBC – which was supposedly impartial and above politics – could not. Another benefit that flowed from using Radio Luxembourg as an organ of British propaganda on the status of the Sudetenland was that its broadcasts were clearly 'deniable' as representing the views of the Chamberlain government. In 1940 the powerful and intact Radio Luxembourg transmitter fell under German control and was later used as one of the broadcasting bases for its English language services. Many of these programmes featured William Joyce ( 'Lord Haw ...

... relating to Shaw.8 And there's an even more intriguing connection. On 9 May 1963 Lee Harvey Oswald applied for work at the William B Reily Coffee Company in New Orleans. The eponymous Reily was a rabid anti-communist who gave financial support both to Sergio Arcacha Smith's Crusade to Free Cuba Committee and Ed Butler's partially CIA-funded propaganda outfit, the Information Council of the Americas (INCA). The Reily vice-president, William Monaghan, was a former FBI agent and was a charter member of INCA. Jim Garrison believed that Reily's was part of an intelligence apparatus. A view bolstered somewhat by Gerry Patrick Hemming's claim that William Reily had worked for the CIA ...

Given the location actually chosen by them, which was certainly convenient for reaching an audience behind the Iron Curtain, Radio Nord looks just as likely to have been an arms-length, privately funded operation broadcasting propaganda to Eastern Europe.

... left-wing Israelis vehemently opposed the alliance both in rhetoric and practice — with the notable exception of the ever- sanctimonious Shimon Peres. Yet rather than honestly confronting the complexity of Israel's relationship with apartheid South Africa or countering the apartheid analogy with evidence of the genuine differences between the two systems, Israel's defenders have resorted to vitriol and recycled propaganda. ' The author finds the apartheid comparison an imperfect one: 'Unlike white South Africa and many other colonial regimes, Zionists never banned miscegenation or kept people they had conquered as servants in their homes. Nor did they rely on others to build the Jewish state they dreamed of. ' But he also warns that while the apartheid analogy ...
