SD Information wanted on the following There was a very small report in the Guardian (30 April 1983) that Britain was setting up a military base in Punta Arenas, Chile, near the border with southern Argentina.

... most of Fred Holroyd's allegations were made nearly 4 years ago in the New Statesman and on Channel 4's Diverse Reports. There is a major whispering campaign going on against Colin Wallace. One journalist working on the story has heard variations of the "Wallace as Walter Mitty" theme from 5 different sources, only one of them definitely a British spook. How far this campaign has penetrated the Palace of Westminster I just don't know. The major sub-theme in these whispers is about the Ulster Citizens' Army. This is what the British state seems to be relying on to finally discredit Wallace. And it is quite a clever smear, difficult to check out without effort and some fairly ...

But also listed are 32 (yes 32) copies for the DTI. Why? I wonder. Some kind of export initiative?' Or the DTI is full of spooks under cover? Hearing No. 10 spokesman Tom Kelly telling some British journalists that Dr David Kelly was a 'Walter Mitty character' must have made Colin Wallace smile. For this is how the MOD briefed journalists about Wallace during his trial for murder in 1981. Corinne Souza pointed out to me that the only people using the Walter Mitty ...

... richest example of the recent crop of Right conspiracy theories surfaced in 1985. Peter Shipley worked in the Prime Minister's Policy Unit up to 1985 then joined Tory Party Central Office where he was last sighted during the general election of 1987. Shipley inhabits that grey area between the pseudoacademic/academic front and the intelligence services. He is probably a spook but there isn't any evidence. After the rioting in Handsworth in Birmingham, Shipley explained to the readers of the Daily Telegraph (12/9 /85) that members of the Revolutionary Communist Party 'were present in Birmingham in the days preceding the outbreak of this week's rioting, ostensibly to hold meetings- some on the streets- about ...

Instead, they are filled with paranoia and terror, to keep them in their victim-dependent box.

One source is a former colleague of Wallace, now working for the World Wildlife Fund, and, in my opinion, a British spook. Another is James Miller, the former UDA intelligence officer who emerged earlier this year in the Sunday Times (22 and 29 March 1987) to reveal that he had been an MI5 agent inside the UDA. When he first contacted the Sunday Times it was the Ron Horn/UCA story he was most keen they should print. ...
