[…] Aaronovitch didn’t refer explicitly to the most obvious thing about Laughland: he is anti-American; and anti-globalisation. But not from the left. His very interesting article on the CIA (and wider American) role in the politics of the Soviet bloc countries post 1991, ‘The Technique of a coup d’etat’, ends with this sentence: ‘But, after […]
[…] 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 […]
[…] provide is, firstly, a couple of chapters containing the most detailed and condensed information on the post-war dealings of the ultra right outside the files of the CIA, KGB, MI5/6 etc. At one point there is so much talk about the ‘Third Way’ and European unity that you could think you were reading a […]
[…] 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. Less attention […]
[…] this? John Coleman, he of the ‘Committee of 300’ fantasies, and writers from La Rouche’s EIR. Even worse, we get 30 pages on Project Monarch, the alleged CIA sex-slave mind control programme, and first-hand accounts from some of Monarch’s alleged subjects. This is all total twaddle. There is no evidence of Monarch’s existence and […]
[…] 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. But demonstrating it …… The FBI and the American Legion Contact Program, 1940-66, Athan Theoharis in Political […]
[…] Montagu had seduced his son whilst they were both at Eton. The book ends with Losey surveying the smouldering ruins of Nettlefold Studios, supposedly torched by the CIA in an attempt to demonstrate to the FBI that it could carry out acts of sabotage with the best of them, and also to warn Losey […]
[…] 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 […]
[…] Transatlantic Understanding, British Atlantic Committee, BAP et al); no reference to State Department or Labor Department-sponsored visits; no reference to the RIIA, Bilderberg, Congress for Cultural Freedom, Encounter, or CIA; no Angleton, no smear campaigns. Most remarkably, Anthony Carew’s essential Labour Under the Marshall Plan is not cited. To call it ‘incomplete’ would be kind.
