[…] overriding what their own experts have to tell them. We saw this with Bush and Blair either ignoring or ‘sexing-up’ the evidence on WMD provided by the CIA and MI6. This process can only be fueled by defective intelligence derived from the privatised torture of hapless goat-herders and taxi-drivers who have been flown around […]
[…] most part the author sticks to what is known but occasionally cannot resist a good conspiracy theory. He tells us, for example, on p. 71: ‘1969-72 The CIA, with apparent DOD co-operation, undertakes a super secret domestic operation to “neutralize” America’s already acid-drenched “counterculture” of dissident white youth by rendering it “psychologically dysfunctional”. The […]
[…] much to propound and legitimise the conspiracy theories of the right-wing of the US foreign policy world in the 1980s. She has frequently been alleged to be CIA but no evidence has surfaced yet. Kennedy Lindsay John Kennedy Lindsay died suddenly on 8 May 1997 at his home near Templepatrick outside Belfast. He was […]
[…] American goods, employing the American urban masses. But the loans have American strings. Cue the ‘regulators’ — good old Irving Brown et al — a regiment of CIA agents and Labour Attachés to fund and steer the anti socialist wing of the European labour movement in the name of ‘the communist threat’.

[…] 1971. It isn’t that difficult to follow the trail of Milner’s ‘class peace’/corporatism right through to the present day: Round Table – Council on Foreign Relations – CIA – right-wing Labour Party revisionists – Social Democratic Party.

[…] too. Further down the line I can see boxed sets of CDs containing every shred of (released) paper relating to the assassination from the files of the CIA, the FBI, the NSA….And then we’ll be complaining about CD-ROMs taking up too much room. But what of the two CD-ROMs under review, the first I […]
[…] 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 […]
