Volume 20 of Research in Political Economy, edited by Paul Zarembka, titled ‘Confronting 9-11, Ideologies of Race, and Eminent Economists,’ (JAI/Elsevier Science, Amsterdam, New York, Oxford, 2002) contains important essays on the current US administration’s foreign policy by Peter Dale Scott and David MacGregor. The abstract to Scott’s essay is : ‘The United States since […]
[…] 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 […]
[…] 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) […]
[…] the revelation that the European Movement was only kept afloat by funds that Churchill solicited from the Americans: Sandys urgently requested £80,000 to keep it solvent. The CIA funds, channelled via Donovan and Dulles, prevented its collapse during the first two decisive meetings of the Council of Europe at Strasbourg in 1949 and 1950. […]
[…] legendary. We are told Montesinos ‘breached army regulations’ prior to 1977; we are not told he was put on trial by the leftist Velasco regime as a CIA agent. EYE SPY! reports that, ‘ironically, the camera that recorded was one of his own’: there is no speculation as to how the spymaster’s super-secret videotapes […]
[…] the US London embassy who leaked to Ramsay all the private material between Roosevelt and Churchill 1939/1940. Originally thought to be a Nazi spy, after 1945 the CIA considered him to have been a Soviet agent all along (not a contradiction during the Nazi-Soviet Pact). Aarons and Loftus (op. cit.) also say, p. 212, […]
[…] 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, […]
[…] the argument: if there are no discrepancies, it simply shows that the lie has been imposed effectively.) There is some good stuff in here: Preston Peet on CIA drug-running, Barry Chamish on the murder of Yitzhak Rabin and Cletus Nelson on the Oklahoma City bomb are all well worth reading, as are pieces by […]
[…] 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 […]
