[…] a report claiming that the previous Pope had been poisoned. Pfaff comments that the Soviet analysis shows “an astonishing fear of American power, of the effectiveness of CIA conspiracies”. Astonishing, and, in Pfaff’s view, quite absurd of course. On Brzezinski’s role in all this I have seen nothing, and on the machinations behind the […]
[…] for the Republican nomination in 1988 and won the Washington State primary. The spectacular downfall of several prominent evangelical preachers helped save the former head of the CIA from defeat but Bush Senior lost the Presidential Election in 1992 and the years that followed were mostly marked by political disappointment for the evangelicals. Federal […]
[…] killed a Greek publisher. ‘November 17’ is said to have left a note at the scene of the murder “arguing that the publisher had been helping the CIA to create a climate of uncertainty in Greece.” The World Anti-Communist League The World Anti-Communist League (WACL) has had a lot of attention recently.

There is an unmistakable thread running through America’s move eastward since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.

But what of the two CD-ROMs under review, the first I […]
[…] material from them on the attempts being made by the United States to overturn New Zealand’s nuclear-free policy. I had read enough about the role of the CIA to recognise some of the names of the people and organisations who were turning up in NZ and the general strategy being employed. It is difficult […]
[…] have been radically different but the ‘split’ remained ‘essentially a tactical question’. For Coogan ‘The Order’s’ penchant for Schaukelpolitik (see-saw politics) was directed at playing off Dulles’s CIA against the Soviet Bloc, wringing concessions from both, to ensure the survival of their own goals.

[…] met Oldfield when serving as an army surgeon in Belfast: ‘We kept in touch. After my book was published, both Sir Maurice and James Angleton of the CIA called me. Sir Maurice told me he had always been baffled by the Hess Affair. When he handed this file to the historians, he said to […]
[…] I read, from ABC News, said that at this meeting Sheehan told reporters that during the Carter administration he ‘found out about government-held UFO information that then CIA Director George Bush, father of the current president, would not release.’ Sheehan said he was then led into the National Archives where he was shown photographs […]
