When he says that UFO reports conceal a new technology with the potential to change the world, a technology kept secret by the US military-industrial complex for decades, he should be worth listening to. Zero Point (8) starts with a news clipping from 1956 turning up on Cook's desk. The article, 'The G-Engines Are Coming', describes how US aircraft companies are working on an antigravity drive which will make jet engines obsolete. When he tries ...

... or efficacy of political conspiracies. Even when this belief is expressed in a very cautious manner, limited to specific and restricted contexts, supported by reliable evidence, and hedged about with all sort of qualifications, it still manages to transcend the boundaries of acceptable discourse and violate unspoken academic taboos. The idea that particular groups of people meet together secretly or in private to plan various courses of action, and that some of these plans actually exert a significant influence on particular historical developments, is typically rejected out of hand and assumed to be the figment of a paranoid imagination. The mere mention of the word 'conspiracy' seems to set off an internal alarm bell which causes scholars to ...

... - published and unpublished documents, court transcripts, interviews with magistrates and protagonists such as Gelli himself. The thesis advanced by Willan is essentially that the rise of rightist 'terrorism' (a word whose analytical validity I don't accept, but he does, like most others) up to 1974 was sponsored by elements within the ruling bloc and the secret state in particular. He illustrates this by looking at incidents including the May 1972 killing of 3 carabineri near Peateano (using weapons from a Gladio arms dump), and the bombing of the Italicus express train in August 1974 (a P2 operation). Such close attention to particular episodes is one of the great strengths of this book ...

West claims that Pope John- the Polish Pope- was told the 'third secret' of the Fatima revelations; and that this 'third secret' spoke of his assassination and suggested an anti-communist crusade. West reproduces the text of this on p.5- it was first released onto the Vatican's Web site!- and there is nothing in there which refers to the Pope, or his ...

... tour of the empire, at the behest of the Royal Institute of International Affairs.1 4 Trade union leaders they might be, seeking justice and a better deal for the British worker, but they remained patriots and imperialists for the most part, and not socialists. The gentlemen (mostly men) of the TUC did not dream – publicly or secretly – of taking over British capitalism, or of destroying the British empire. The institutional links with the British state begun before World War 2 were solidified enormously by the war. The trade unions were in the national coalition government, and some of their leaders were Ministers of the Crown – very important people. After the war In the ...

... 1960. The claim has even entered otherwise sober studies of the U-2 affair such as historian Michael Beschloss's well-regarded book Mayday, where he makes a passing reference to Oswald's possible role in betraying U-2 secrets.2 A deeper understanding of Oswald's role in Japan, however, has been long distorted by the 1978 publication of Edward Jay Epstein's book Legend: The Secret World of Lee Harvey Oswald 3 in which Epstein tries to prove that Oswald fell victim to an elaborate Soviet intelligence 'honey trap' while in Japan that led him to spy for the KGB. Shortly after Legend appeared in print, however, investigators for the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) interviewed some of Epstein's purported sources. ...
