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) […]
[…] 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, […]
[…] Monthly Review, which he has co-edited since its foundation, Sweezy spoke a little about his wartime work for the OSS (Office of Strategic Services, precursor of the CIA). Sweezy revealed that he worked from 1942-45 in London, then Paris, then Germany, on ‘research and analysis’, evaluating intelligence and British policy. He said – and […]
[…] which Hitchens seems to have flunked), letters to editors, and the texts of some of his e-mail Anti-Empire Reports.() If you know his previous work on the CIA and American imperialism ()you know what to expect. If you don’t know Blum, you should; and this is as good and as entertaining a […]

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 […]
[…] benefited most – Johnson disappeared from the story as the Garrison inquiry revealed the rich brew of millionaire businessmen, anti-Castro Cubans, White Russians, the FBI and the CIA, who were linked to Oswald. Despite his personal corruption and the war in Vietnam which he vastly expanded, Johnson also came to be seen as a […]
[…] 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”.
