[…] British state did there in the 1970s. There is no reference to Colin Wallace, dirty tricks, the Information Policy Unit, the Ulster Workers Council strike, and Fred Holroyd; and almost nothing on loyalist collaboration with the intelligence services and the Army. The disastrous early attempts at covert operations by the Army and SIS are […]

[…] and the subsequent “shoot-to-kill” inquiry conducted by the new retired Deputy Chief Constable of Greater Manchester, John Stalker. Basing himself largely on the evidence of Captain Fred Holroyd, Doherty unravels a whole series of covert operations during 1974, made possible by the presence of a British informer in the Gardai. Codenamed ‘the badger’, this […]

[…] Protestant-state collaboration in such killing. While Urban simply omits James Millar and rejects without discussion the claims of Albert Baker, it is not possible to ignore Fred Holroyd. Having quoted endless off the record military and intelligence sources who support the state’s ‘line’, Urban declined to talk to Holroyd, the only British Army officer […]

[…] the Berlin Wall’ (emphasis added). (2) Damn, these psy-ops people are clever! In the wake of the publication of the summary of the Stevens Report, Captain Fred Holroyd (Rtd.) had a letter in The Guardian (18 April 2003) pointing out that he’d said pretty much what Stevens had discovered over 30 years ago and […]

According to Quinn, “He is outside our jurisdiction, but we have no information that he has information relevant to the inquiry.” Captain Holroyd, former member of the Special Military Intelligence Unit (SMIU), besides his revelations to Duncan Campbell in the New Statesman, has also been talking to Frank Doherty […]

[…] him disconcertingly open, talking to anyone and everyone who comes to see him. Nobody gets exclusive access (not even if they offer money: neither he nor Fred Holroyd have taken more than bare expenses from the press in the past 8 months of intensive dealings with the media). There is also a perceptible dis-ease […]

[…] about Mr Clarke there is a story to tell. When I was trying to get the major media to take the allegations of Colin Wallace and Fred Holroyd seriously, there were a number of journalists who appeared to be on their side, to whom I (and Wallace and Holroyd) spoke freely. Liam Clarke, then […]

[…] to cram five months knowledge into one short two hour patrol.” (p79) Everyone knows Nairac was a trained assassin but following the revelations of ex-intelligence operative Captain Holroyd in the New Statesman (The Dirty War, 4,11,18 June 1984), a Mark Cunningham, a friend of Nairac’s family, tried to whitewash Nairac’s name in a letter […]

[…] take seriously, do not trust him. Ben-Menashe illustrates a peculiar modern problem. These days, when the state sees a story like the October Surprise (or the Wallace/ Holroyd allegations) beginning to be taken seriously, it will launch disinformation and disinformation agents to muddy the pool and discredit the story and/or any genuine sources. It […]

[…] which have attracted conspiracy theories. The Andrew piece, I guess, was supposed to discredit Hugh Thomas in the way intended by the Independent attack on Wallace and Holroyd. Alas for Andrew’s chums in the British state, as with the Wallace/Holroyd case, too many people know enough about the case for this to work in […]
