[…] Cold War era programs (11 pp.) GAO/T-NSIAD-94-266, September 1994. During World War 2 and the Cold War, US Government agencies (including the DoD, Army, Navy, Air Force, CIA and Dept. of Energy) conducted or sponsored extensive radiological, chemical and biological research programmes, in which hundreds of thousands of people were used as (often unwitting) […]
[…] 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 […]
[…] Sweden, Greece and Switzerland. Characteristically, this directive includes a special notice which authorized its distribution to the Allied Intelligence Services of Great Britain, including the United States CIA. Question Could you tell us some of the BIS actions aimed at the Soviet Union? K.P. I could illustrate your question in conjunction with the tourist […]
[…] 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 […]
[…] 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 […]
[…] a situation of virtual state bankruptcy. I read Beyond Hypocrisy just after rereading Christopher Lasch’s fine essay about the Congress for Cultural Freedom, written shortly after its CIA funding was exposed in 1967.(1) More than 20 years later, it still has much to commend it, including the following: ‘The modern state, among other things, […]
[…] 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 […]
[…] 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.
[…] 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’. This left […]
[…] was actually the Labour Committee for Transatlantic Understanding (p. 28); and its chair, Lane Kirkland, was certainly pro-NATO, but where is the evidence he was a ‘former CIA agent’? The Economic League did not come after Moral Re-armament (p. 28). Common Cause did not come after IRIS (p. 29). Other unsourced assertions include the […]
