... Orwellian land to a much more American dystopia in the style of Philip K Dick. In Dick's novels, doors refuse to open because your swipe card lacks the necessary credits; they lecture you in a mechanical voice, devoid of emotion, repeating endlessly their own market logic: it is the voice of Hazel Blears, speaking from the interactive surveillance cameras that will soon oversee all our lives. The Mr. Blobby face of Blears represents the next step in the Blairite evolution of Thatcher's Britain, into a never-never land where up is down and left is right. Winston Smith is now the prototypical Englishman. As a foreigner, I haven't even the rights Winston enjoyed. ...

... An important new development on the assassination of Martin Luther King has appeared. A paper called The Commercial Appeal of Memphis, Tennessee, reported that the U.S . Army was working with right-wing and racist organisations in operations against the civil rights movement; specifically that special forces personnel returning from Vietnam were assigned to carry out the surveillance of Dr. King and his colleagues in the days preceding his assassination. This is discussed in an interview with Mark Lane in Flatlands (see above) and also in Lies of Our Times (July, August 93), from 145 West 4th St New York, NY 10012. Last | Contents | Next ...

... objectors appearing at the Sizewell B inquiry. This agency was later revealed to be Zeus Securities, the brainchild of Peter Hamilton, a man with formidable establishment credentials and a long background in MI6. Zeus, then operated by ex-MI5 officer, Jeremy Wetherall, of another security firm, Lynx, was given the contract to organise the surveillance, which they sub-contracted to Sapphire Investigation Bureau, run by Barrie Peachman. The story of Peachman, his use of the unsavoury far rightist, Vic Norris, who claims to have set up dummy peace groups, and Peachman's suicide three weeks after the Murrell murder, is well documented.(19) 'The nuclear bruderbond' ...

... story without giving the plot away; but I can perhaps safely say the story concerns a mission, by the US military, to document the CIA's involvement in the drug traffic in Laos during the Vietnam War. It is an enthralling read, the narrative rattles along, and the account of the climax of the mission and exfiltration of the surveillance team after a fire-fight with the Viet Cong is nicely done. It reads like a thriller - and would make a good movie, I suspect - but is apparently true. Whether or not the allegations contained herein are true, I have no idea and there is no way of checking. The ambiguity of the book's format ...

... the American war machine has been preparing for forty years to neutralize street antiwar protest. ' (p . 180) The deep state watched the anti-war protests of the 1960s and resolved 'never again'. 9/11 was the green light for the deep state to move into action: warrantless arrests, no fly lists, mass surveillance, data mining, and anti-terrorist 'fusion centres' of military and civil organisations. If deep politics is 'all those political practices and arrangements, deliberate or not, which are usually repressed rather than acknowledged', as the deep state grows so does the repressed, the unsayable. Almost nothing of substance is now said by American ...

... called 'a shadow government of about 100 senior civilian managers' (Washington Post, 3/1 /02; Scott, Road to 9/11, p. 237) who decamped with Cheney to the COG bases outside Washington. What I argue is that they implemented now familiar programs which we know dated back to the 1980s: warrantless surveillance, warrantless detention, suppression of habeas corpus, and possibly the preparations for use of the U.S . Army in domestic security matters. The creation of NORTHCOM represented a significant break with the past in this respect. My apologies to Peter Dale Scott. I read his book when I first received it and then wrote the review ...

... new title, The British Intelligence Services in Action, it has become a modern classic, is virtually impossible to now locate, and still compares well with subsequent volumes by Martin Dillon, Paul Foot and Fred Holroyd. Only weeks after publication, the book's printers mysteriously burned down in Dundalk and for many years Lindsay was subjected to harassment and surveillance. Possibly for these reasons he had withdrawn from the public forum for some years past and developed a highly successful, hi-tech, academic book distribution business, still in operation at the time of his death.

Over ten years later, apparently trying to get him to shut-up about being blackballed by Grosvenor, a campaign of harassment began: a car rammed into his house, computers wrecked, threatening phone-calls to his children, surveillance, phone taps etc., much of it witnessed by third parties. He has gone the formal route – police, MP – without effect. He thinks the secret state, the police and members of the Labour government are protecting Grosvenor. The documents he presents at the address above show that the police and pols are certainly dragging ...
