Obama's voting record in the Senate in the 2004-2008 period demonstrates time after time a voting pattern supporting Big Oil, the insurance industry, the HMO's [health maintenance organisations] etc. The connection between Obama and British Petroleum had been established by his Senate voting record. The same holds for his long association with Goldman Sachs and his reliance on many libertarian academics ...

... whose greatest political inspiration is Ronald W. Reagan. Obama's likely political-professional history is not much different from that of Reagan's: an apparent Mr Nobody gets picked from a West Coast college, is channelled anonymously through the cadre institutions of the Northeast elite and moves to the Midwest. With no traceable political debts he finds himself a US Senator, and before his first term expires he is on the Democratic ticket for president. Obama is the apogee of the Reagan Revolution, the entirely synthetic, digital president, incorporating the most modern and vicious weapons arsenal the world has ever known. The damned – the non-American But there is a story behind all this and it ...

... although the book was put together by French intelligence people, it was the contact with Kostikov which led to it. The pseudonymous writer of the book was Thomas Buchanan, author of the 1964 Who Killed Kennedy? Although Robert Kennedy's public line was to support the Warren Commission verdict, privately he got a friend, Patrick Moynihan, later a senator, to make some inquiries about the event (which could amount to what, realistically?), some of which material found its way into the book. So we may have had the French and Soviet secret states and the Kennedy network working discreetly together; at any rate in contact. Turner makes much of the insider information in ...

The essays show Russell pursuing all manner of leads after Water-gate, when the assassination returned to the stage, some of them generated by the Garrison inquiry, none of which ultim-ately amount to much. Russell reports on the inquiry by Senator Schweiker and the House Investigation; interviews Gerry Hemmings; and the first HSCA director, Richard Sprague, on the politics of the HSCA; discusses the death of CIA big-wig Paisley; accumulates a fair bit of Garrisonia; gives us more about Nagell; discusses Oswald qua Manchurian candi-date; and interviews MK Ultra's Sydney Gottleib ...

... Project for the New American Century and Benjamin Netanyahu's first Israeli government, whose focus continues into the second Netanyahu era, indicate the absurdity of believing the present policies of the West have any desire, much less possibility, of actually achieving a 'solution' in the Middle East. That Richard Perle was passing infor-mation to the Israelis from Senator 'Scoop' Jackson's office, where Paul Wolfowitz also worked, in the early 1970s, simply reinforces the idea that we are seeing a continuum of policy, a 'long war' whose modus operandi, as the authors make clear, we've seen before. The phoney intelligence estimates of the Soviet threat, produced in the 1970s by the so ...

Access to the Arabian Sea required secure facilities, preferably not tied to the vagaries of a local host government. This had been long planned for, with a lease taken on the British-owned island of Diego Garcia from 1964. During the numerous Senate and Congressional hearings on developing Diego Garcia, much DoD disavowal of leaked plans for Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) support and B 52 basing had failed to convince strong Senate opposition from such as Gary Hart and Edward Kennedy. It had also signally failed to convince the Russians. A little publicised but highly significant factor in drawing Soviet ...

... significance for British readers. Yes, it was important to be reminded that Wick instituted a USIA blacklist that included Coretta Scott King and Walter Cronkite. But there was nothing of Wick's important role in domestic European politics during the revived Cold War of the Reagan/ Thatcher/Kohl years. Wick's work is not hard to uncover. A sceptical Senate Foreign Relations Committee forced the USIA director to divulge all his contacts with those he met in Europe during Reagan's fierce anti-Soviet reign, and published them in 1984 for any Washington correspondent to pour over as USIA: Recent Developments.
